Chapter 174 Is it because it’s too poisonous?

Ten years ago, Guita Anzhen was twelve years old and was the most honorable Crown Prince of Xizhen. Everyone doted on him, loved him, respected him, and honored him.

But everything changed on the birthday of his father Khan. Queshi Datuo and the state teacher Muzheqi had a secret affair and killed his father Khan and Khatun.

He and his sister were captured by the Datuo clan and made into poisoners. His sister survived a year before dying from the poison.

His youngest brother was taken away alone by Mu Zheqi because he angered the two of them. It is still unknown whether he is dead or alive, but it is highly likely that he is dead.

Mu Zeqi directly pushed Datuo onto the throne and named his daughter the Crown Princess.

All the royal family members and ministers who opposed the two were brutally killed by them.

Since then, Xizhen has gradually become a country where women are dominant.

He was also locked up in a dark dungeon all day, surrounded by poisons every moment.

The white cloth wrapped around his body was a special kind of cloth that could isolate toxins. In the past, they would feed him medicine to suppress the toxins, and after taking it, he would temporarily avoid being attacked by the poison.

But because he was on a diplomatic mission to Dayi, they were afraid that he would escape, so they temporarily stopped giving him medicine.

Gui Ta An Zhen knew that the two sisters Gui Ta An Ling were going to use him to poison Princess Yi Yang of Dayi, and with his face and his poisonous body, they would not easily abandon him even after they succeeded.

So this is his chance to get revenge.

If the eldest princess of Dayi was able to help him, he wouldn't have to worry about it anymore. If she was a useless person, then there was no point in her living...

In the evening.

Leng Yue brought the brocade box to the Taifu Mansion again. After presenting the gift to Jiang Lin, she said, "Taifu Sir, this is a gift that the princess specially selected for you. Please make sure to wear it tomorrow."

Jiang Lin opened the brocade box with a frown, and when he saw the set of hair crowns, jade pendants and other items inside, his brows relaxed.

She pursed her lips and wanted to refuse, but she was afraid that this girl would go back and talk nonsense to Qi Yue again.

"I understand. You can go back now."

After Leng Yue left, he reached out and picked up one of the hairpins and stroked it. There was a word "Yue" (Joy) on the detail.

This means that he is directly her property.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lin couldn't help but laugh helplessly.

The next morning, Guita Anrong ordered people to feed him medicine to suppress the toxin, and only after confirming that it was safe did he order people to take him away and clean him up.

Then, he was dressed in a red Xizhen outfit, which was a little more revealing than the previous one, but not too tacky.

The white cloth that was originally used to isolate the toxin was also taken away.

Today, Qi Yue was still very sleepy, but was pulled up by He Xiang Lengyue to start dressing up.

A princess of Xizhen Kingdom is choosing a husband and he wants her to accompany him. I really don’t know what my royal brother is thinking.

Aren’t you afraid that she will snatch away all the men that Princess Xizhen likes?

Because Xizhen was a martial artist, all the candidates for his son-in-law were sons of powerful families who were good at martial arts.

But each family was reluctant to let their legitimate son marry to Xizhen. Moreover, marrying a woman, even if she was a princess, was considered a humiliation in their eyes.

Therefore, all those who were sent to participate were the less favored illegitimate sons of each family, and they all volunteered.

Although marrying to the West doesn't sound good, at least she can be the husband of a princess. It will definitely be much better than life at home and can be considered a way out.

When meeting Qi Yue again, Gui Ta An Ling was still wearing her tattered veil.

It seemed like she had forgotten about the criticism she received on the first day, and she was very enthusiastic today.

"Compared to the day before, the princess is so much more beautiful and generous today."

Qi Yue asked sincerely, "Didn't the princess say the other day that I was just average looking?"

Gui Ta An Ling's face froze: "That must be my own fault, Princess, please don't blame me."

Qi Yue disagreed, "That won't work. If you don't blame her for doing something wrong or saying something wrong, won't that encourage the princess' shortcomings? I must blame you for this."

She pinched her palms and forced out an ugly smile: "The eldest princess is being too aggressive."

Qi Yue: "What do you mean by aggressive? I am obviously being reasonable."

Gui Ta An Ling's eyes moved slightly, and he smiled and said, "Yes, the princess is right. In this case, I should compensate the princess."

After she finished speaking, she clapped her hands, and the people below quickly brought up a large iron cage, but it was covered with a huge red cloth.

Qi Yue walked forward curiously: "What is this?"

Gui Ta An Ling's eyes flashed with calculation, and he explained: "I have heard that the princess likes to collect beauties. This cage contains the most beautiful woman in my Xizhen country. I will use this as compensation. What do you think, princess?"

"Then I will have to take a good look at it. If it doesn't live up to its reputation, I won't accept it."

Seeing her excited look, Gui Ta An Ling was extremely excited.

She gave a look and the maid next to her quickly lifted the red cloth.

Guita Anzhen lay silently in the cage. Even when he heard these conversations and noises, he never opened his eyes.

Even though Qi Yue had been mentally prepared, he was still shocked by this beautiful poisonous creature.

He is so beautiful that it is difficult to tell whether he is male or female, and he is so gorgeous that he looks like a fine figurine without a soul.

"This can't be a dead person. This is not a funeral home. We don't accept corpses or provide cremation services."

"How could that be? Maybe he was having trouble acclimatizing and fell asleep."

Gui Ta An Ling's face darkened and he was about to attack the person in the cage.

Guita Anzhen opened his eyes, and everyone around him, except those from Xizhen Kingdom, was shocked by his beauty.

Those eyes were simply a work of art that was out of this world, as if filled with amber stars, the color was so gentle yet revealed an endless coldness.

Qi Yue walked around the cage and looked at it carefully: "It is indeed good... But, I am very curious, why did the princess lock such a beauty in a cage?"

She paused, then asked casually, "Is it because it's too poisonous?"

Hearing this, Guita Anzhen in the cage lowered his eyes, hiding the shock in his eyes.

Guita Anling nervously pinched her palms again. She smiled awkwardly and said, "How could that be? Princess, you are worrying too much."

The tall maid behind her, Guita Anrong, took over and explained, "My dear Princess, our daughter heard that many scholars in Dayi admired the birds in the cage."

"Since you like beauties, I think you might be interested if I put this stunning beauty in a cage like a bird."

"I am indeed interested, but..." Qi Yue retracted his gaze and looked back at Guita An Ling, "...if someone is too attentive to you for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief."

Before Guita Anling could speak again, Guita Anzhen in the cage spoke first.

"Xizhen just wants to establish a deep friendship with Dayi. The princess is so timid. Is she afraid?"

Guita Anling and Guita Anrong were both shocked, but they were very pleased with Guita Anzhen's words and actions that showed weakness.
