Zu An wasn't angry at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "I was only speaking to you because we've had some physical intimacy. Since Your Majesty wants to be so distant, let's keep things official. Contact me again if Your Majesty needs anything in the future."

As he spoke, he picked up Qiao Xueying and left. The effects of the drug had taken hold, and she needed to be detoxified as soon as possible.

Seeing that he was about to leave, the little demon queen hurriedly spread her arms to stop him, saying, "What are you going to do?"

“Of course they left,” Zuan said, puzzled.

The Little Demon Queen said in a deep voice, "No, there are Golden Crow Guards outside now. It would be easy for you to be exposed if you go out, and if you are caught, it will implicate me as well."

At her level, she naturally doesn't believe in promises. Even if Zu An guarantees he won't betray her, once caught, he'll face all sorts of torture, and no one can withstand that.

Zuan knew she was telling the truth. The area outside was indeed swarming with Golden Crow Guards, each one determined to search every inch of the ground. The Demon Emperor's divine sense also swept over the area from time to time, making it very difficult to escape.

"Stay here for a while. Wait until they search several times and can't find you, and they think you've already left the palace. Then find another opportunity to go out." The little demon went to the window and quietly opened a crack to observe the situation outside.

Zuan frowned and said, "I can wait, but she can't."

Qiao Xueying had completely fallen into a coma and was burning up with fever. She just instinctively twisted her body and rubbed against him, as if that would bring her some comfort.

The little demon queen felt a little uncomfortable thinking about the scene where Princess Xue had pinched her earlier: "The crown prince is really audacious, daring to give Princess Xue such a drug."

Zu'an said, "Your Majesty, could you please go to the Imperial Hospital to get some herbs, and also have the maids prepare a bath tub and fill it with cold water?"

"No!" the little demon queen refused outright. "The entire palace is searching for you. The slightest disturbance will arouse suspicion. I cannot take the risk."

The prince knows what poison Princess Xue has been poisoned with. If he goes to find medicine or uses a lot of cold water, it will easily arouse suspicion there.

“Then I have to go,” Zuan said solemnly. “Although it’s dangerous outside, I can’t let anything happen to Xue’er.”

"Xue'er? You call her that so affectionately," the little demon queen chuckled. "That's easy. She's been poisoned, and you're the best antidote."

A strange look flashed in her eyes; she had no good intentions in making this suggestion.

She didn't want the Golden Crow Prince to unite with the Elf Clan, as that would solidify the prince's power.

If a man were to defile the Crown Prince's virginity, the Crown Prince's reputation would be severely damaged, and he would become a laughingstock among the entire demon race.

Moreover, such an event would be a huge blow to the Crown Prince himself, and would become a great nightmare on his cultivation journey. If he could not see through it, he might never be able to break through in his cultivation. In that case, why would the Demon Emperor pass the throne to a good-for-nothing?

Zuan: "..."

This married young woman is so bold; she talks about these things without any shyness.

He thought about it and realized that this was indeed the best solution, so he nodded and said, "Alright then, I'll borrow Your Majesty's bed."

After saying that, he picked up Xue'er and jumped back onto the bed.

The little demon queen was completely dumbfounded. She originally thought that this guy would definitely refuse a few times, and she would have to try to persuade him a few more times to make it a done deal. Who would have thought that he would agree so easily?

What a lecherous scoundrel!

Suddenly her expression changed. "Wait, use my bed?"

She tried to stop him, but it was too late. Zuan had already lowered all the curtains around the bed, and she could vaguely see that he had taken off the clothes from Snow Princess's shoulders.

The little demon queen's face turned pale and then red. It was really inappropriate to stop him now. If she angered him and he insisted on going out, causing him to be captured by the Golden Crow Guards, it would only make things more troublesome.

Hmph, at worst I'll just have the maid change all the sheets and blankets afterwards, and um, the whole bed will be burned too.

At that moment, a sweet, cloying hum came from inside. As a mature and charming young woman, how could she not know what had happened?

My heart was racing, but I was also a little puzzled. This Snow Princess's reaction didn't seem like it was the first time. Could it be because she was poisoned?

She shook her head, trying to ignore it, and quietly activated her audio-visual mirror to record everything that happened. Not only could she use it as a trump card to deliver a fatal blow to the prince when necessary, but she could also use it to blackmail the elves and this man.

Just as she started, a huge suction force suddenly came, and the video camera in her hand flew out of her grasp.

Not only that, but in her attempt to grab the audio-visual mirror, she lost her balance and was pulled along by the immense force.

She fell into the tent with a thud. Terrified, she instinctively got up to defend herself, only to find a large hand already gripping her neck.

Zu An looked down at him, his eyes exceptionally cold: "What does Your Highness mean by this?"

The little demon queen opened her eyes and found that the other party was shirtless, and a strong masculine aura emanated from him.

"This guy has a pretty good physique..."

However, she quickly fell into deep regret. In fact, her strength was not so easily defeated; it was just that she was completely unprepared, which led to her being defeated in one move.

With her vital points controlled, she could only manage a weak smile: "What kind of martial art is this?"

Although she was somewhat careless, even disciples with high cultivation levels couldn't resist the powerful suction force. No wonder he was able to severely injure the Crown Prince under Elder Wu's protection and successfully rescue Princess Xue.
