Jiang Jiaojiao looked at herself in the mirror and was amazed. How could this method of balancing yin and yang to detoxify be so magical?
Her face was rosy pink, her skin smooth, white as snow, and delicate enough to break at a touch.
It seems like they used a method of replenishing yin by absorbing yang energy.
The medical records did not mention this effect, so it is likely that even the renowned physician Xue had never seen what the woman looked like after being detoxified.
His wet body flashed through my mind...
A blush rose to her cheeks, making her even more radiant and beautiful.
Even Ah Yuan, who had been serving her day and night, was stunned. She smiled and came up to her, saying, "Miss looks absolutely radiant today, even more beautiful than a fairy descended from heaven!"
"You're getting sweet-talking more and more, girl."
Jiang Jiaojiao smiled beautifully, her eyebrows and eyes relaxed. She was a pampered and wealthy flower, more graceful and charming than the delicate willows that were popular in the capital.
"What I'm saying is the truth. Those young ladies who used to gossip behind my back are now extremely envious and jealous."
"Miss, this style of dress is quite popular in the capital these days."
In wealthy families in the capital, there are always pampered young ladies who are a bit plump. They often feel inferior when they go out, and even the matchmakers who come to their door will tell them to eat less before the wedding so that they will be more favored by their husbands.
Now that the pearl and jade are before us, the wealthy young lady retorted, "What a graceful princess she is, and what a handsome and affectionate fiancé she has!"
then.
In the capital, there were many girls dressed like Jiang Jiaojiao, and they attracted a lot of attention at the garden parties, and several couples actually became a perfect match.
In a short time, such bright and charming outfits became more and more common, and plump women became more at ease. Even the patterns and colors of silk fabrics in the shops increased.
The two were joking and laughing.
Ah Xiang walked in and reported with an unfriendly expression.
"Miss, that person has arrived."
“We didn’t hide anything from anyone, so it’s not surprising that she came looking for us.”
Jiang Jiaojiao was even more curious about what would happen to the "Spirit Beauty" in the palace if she kept running around like this.
That was a beauty sent by Prince Jing.
If they disappeared without a trace, Prince Jing would have no way to explain it.
From this perspective, it seems that this holy maiden from the southern border doesn't take Prince Jing seriously either.
"They're also very bold."
Jiang Jiaojiao added, "Have you come to my door three times in a row because you're sure they won't dare to lay a hand on me?"
Too.
If we fall for her trap and take the antidote, we'll indeed be at her mercy now.
Jiang Jiaojiao let A Yuan and A Xiang serve her properly, including makeup, a bowl of soft and glutinous white fungus soup, several plates of sweet pastries, and rinsed her mouth with tea.
She then slowly got up.
The group arrived at the front hall in a grand procession, where the Holy Maiden of Southern Xinjiang had been waiting for a full hour.
Looking at Jiang Jiaojiao's rosy cheeks and stunningly beautiful appearance, the Southern Frontier Saintess's jealousy burned even brighter.
She stared at Jiang Jiaojiao, her eyes filled with jealousy and anger. "Is this how you treat your guests!"
Jiang Jiaojiao walked unhurriedly to the Holy Maiden of Southern Xinjiang and sat down gracefully: "You dare to call yourself a guest?"
"This princess would like to ask, does the Southern Frontier Holy Maiden's poisoning of the current Prince Chen constitute a declaration of war by the Southern Frontier against our dynasty?"
The Holy Maiden of Southern Xinjiang's expression changed drastically.
He gritted his teeth and said, "This is my business. What does it have to do with Southern Xinjiang?"
Whether it matters or not depends on what you do.
Jiang Jiaojiao straightened up. "If you are willing to reveal who is behind this, I, the princess, can give you a... chance."
"If they remain obstinate, I, the princess, will have no choice but to issue a petition to the King of Southern Xinjiang, asking whether he is prepared to welcome our army."
"you--"
A flicker of panic crossed the eyes of the Holy Maiden of Southern Xinjiang.
After a moment's hesitation, he asked, "If I tell you, will you let me take him away?"
"He was one of Prince Jing's men; I gave him the poison."
The Holy Maiden of Southern Xinjiang sold Prince Jing without the slightest hesitation.
Her open and honest admission was, in fact,... suspicious.
I always felt that only someone as brainless as Prince An could do something like this. How could someone as cautious as Prince Jing leave behind such a significant witness as the Holy Maiden of Southern Xinjiang?
"I've already said it, where is he?!"
The Holy Maiden of Southern Xinjiang couldn't wait to take people away.
Who is it?
Jiang Jiaojiao spread her hands, surprised, "I only said I'd give you a chance, I didn't say what kind of chance."
"You—you lied to me!"
The Holy Maiden of Southern Xinjiang stared intently at Jiang Jiaojiao's rosy and delicate face, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes. Her eyes widened instantly: "You didn't have the antidote for him!"
Then, she screamed incredulously, "You chose your life and gave him up!"
"You vicious woman!"
The Holy Maiden of Southern Xinjiang's voice was sharp and piercing, filled with deep disgust and resentment: "My father said that you women outside are the most fickle and heartless, and it is indeed true!"
"You're not good enough for him. I'm taking him away with me right now!"
"The Holy Maiden of Southern Xinjiang said viciously, while reaching into a bulging brocade pouch. Something could be vaguely seen wriggling inside, which was quite chilling."
Qiu Xiang realized the danger and quickly stepped in front of Jiang Jiaojiao, holding a long sword and staring warily at the Southern Frontier Saintess.
Although Ayuan and Axiang were pale with fright, they still held Jiang Jiaojiao tightly and refused to back down.
Jiang Jiaojiao was taken aback. "Father? So, you are the princess of Southern Xinjiang?"
"hehe……"
That would be interesting.
In the southern borderlands, anyone skilled in Gu poison has a chance to become a saintess, but the princess...
The practice of raising Gu poison by people in southern Xinjiang is against the natural order, resulting in extremely few offspring.
The King of Southern Xinjiang had only one son and one daughter.
It turns out she is the only princess in the Southern Frontier; no wonder she could so easily grant the Gu King an antidote.
Since that's the case...
Jiang Jiaojiao stepped forward, her smile instantly brightening. "So you are the princess of Southern Xinjiang. I happen to have a question that I hope the princess can answer."
"Is the poison that Prince Chen was born with the Gu poison from the Southern Frontier?"
These words were spoken.
The princess of Southern Xinjiang's eyes widened instantly, a hint of panic she couldn't hide showing.
Jiang Jiaojiao suddenly realized, "I knew it."
Upon hearing Jiang Jiaojiao's words, the Southern Border Princess instantly flew into a rage, shouting, "You're lying to me again!"
"You scheming and vicious woman! What they said about you being stupid was all a lie!"
"hehe……"
Jiang Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Princess."
"I wasn't praising you! You already know the answer, so you should give it back to me!"
The princess of Southern Xinjiang was practically gritting her teeth.
Jiang Jiaojiao took a sip of the fragrant tea, then put it down. "You still don't understand. He's mine, and I have no intention of giving him to you."
"Without my antidote, he's doomed. You'd rather he die than give it back to me? You're so selfish!"
The princess of the Southern Frontier was furious and felt sorry for him.
“I only said I was giving you a chance, not that I was letting you take him away.”
He laughed, "Don't you feel like something's off about you?"
These words were spoken.
The princess of Southern Xinjiang's expression changed instantly. She prepared to activate the Gu worms, only to find that they had fallen into a deep sleep. A sudden pain shot through her chest, and she bent over, kneeling on the ground, her face filled with horror. "You—you poisoned me!"
"This is called: It is impolite not to reciprocate."
Jiang Jiaojiao pointed her fair finger at the incense burner with wisps of smoke rising from it, "Go get some sleep with your Gu worms."
As soon as she finished speaking, the princess of Southern Xinjiang collapsed to the ground, her eyes closed, and she fainted.
"Pomegranate, the rest is up to you."
Jiang Jiaojiao stood up and gave instructions.
Behind the screen, Shiliu, who had already made thorough preparations, immediately had someone help the Southern Frontier Princess into the adjacent room.
