Chapter 139: Seeding of the Insects

The people who were originally drinking and chatting heard the noise and looked over at them curiously.

"What was that noise just now? Who dropped the glass?"

"I don't know. Could it be that Princess Qinghe doesn't like the princess of Nanzhao, and the two of them are going to fight?"

"The Princess of Nanzhao is a guest who has come from afar, no matter what. Princess Qinghe shouldn't be so careless as to lose her temper in such an occasion."

At this moment, Lan Zheng's eyes were fixed on the blood-red fragments at Chu Xinyue's feet, with a gleam of excitement reflected in her eyes.

Done!

The puppet snake species was successful!

However, Lan Zheng did not notice that when she snatched Chu Xinyue's blood amber and threw it out, Chu Xinyue almost at the same time, accurately threw the blood amber in her hand at her feet.

Chu Xinyue has a high fighting power, and her advantage is reflected at this time.

When she threw the blood amber out, she also used the wind from her palm to push it heavily to the ground.

Therefore, the blood amber under Lan Zheng's feet shattered more completely.

The insect sealed in the blood amber twisted its tiny body and crawled towards the nearest host the moment it gained freedom.

After smashing the blood amber, Lan Zheng's entire attention was on Chu Xinyue.

She stared at Chu Xinyue without blinking, afraid to miss every detail of her being parasitized by worms.

Chu Xinyue glanced towards her feet, and only had time to see a tiny black dot flash under her skirt.

The insects moved too fast, and the palace lanterns were some distance away from them, so Chu Xinyue couldn't see them clearly.

However, it was enough to see the little black dot flash by.

Sure enough, the next moment, Lan Zheng twisted her neck stiffly to the left and right, her movements strange and somewhat inexplicable.

However, she herself was not aware of it.

After a moment of trance, she looked at the blood amber fragments under Chu Xinyue's feet and covered her mouth with an apologetic look, "Princess Qinghe, I may have drunk too much and lost my balance, so I broke your pendant. How about this, you tell me how much your pendant is worth, and I will pay you ten times as much!"

Chu Xinyue smiled back at her, "No need, it's just a pendant, not worth much, just let it fall."

Lan Zheng insisted, "Oh no! That won't do! I will definitely give you something better later!"

Seeing her hypocritical expression, Chu Xinyue resisted the urge to slap her. "This pendant was given to me by my prince on the day of my wedding. It means a lot to me. What kind of pendant do you think would be a better one to give me as compensation, Princess Fourth?"

If Ali hadn't discovered that there was something wrong with the blood amber pendant she was wearing, she would have been the one to be attacked by the puppet dragon tonight.

Lan Zheng, who treated her like a lowly insect, had a very strong mental state. She had the nerve to create a generous and gentle persona here even after hurting others.

Chu Xinyue was not used to her and directly retorted back.

As expected, Lan Zheng was stunned by her question. She was stunned for a long time before taking off the jade pendant carved from red agate from her waist. "This is the most precious red agate in Nanzhao. I will give it to you as compensation. Is that enough?"

Of course Chu Xinyue wouldn't want her things. Who knows if there are more terrifying insects sealed in her agate?

"Don't worry, Fourth Princess. I was just joking with you. This piece of blood amber is just a worthless little thing. If it breaks, it breaks. In Jiuzhou, we have a saying that goes 'break it, break it' and it's safe.' Maybe it's not a bad thing for the blood amber to break."

"Princess, I'll toast you again and apologize to you."

Chu Xinyue drank the wine happily, "Okay, I accept your apology, we are even now."

Lan Zheng wanted to harm her and plant insects on her body, so she planted the insects on Lan Zheng's body.

The apologies were made and the wine was finished, so they no longer owed each other anything.

Lan Zheng also raised the wine glass to her mouth and drank it all in one gulp.

When she returned to her seat, Lan Luo turned his head and stared at her face, questioning her in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Fourth sister, did you just do something to Princess Qinghe?"

Lan Zheng's eyes flickered and she flatly denied it, "What are you talking about? Why would I use a snake on Princess Qinghe?"

Lan Luo glanced in Chu Xinyue's direction again and whispered, "You'd better not have it. Before leaving Nanzhao, our father repeatedly warned us not to use the insect lightly. You must not do anything stupid!"

"Seventh sister, I know that if the insects are not properly controlled, they will attack the master. So, I am not so stupid as to risk my life."

There are many tricks to using insects. They are not professional insect masters and cannot control multiple insects at the same time.

They have to find an opportunity to complete the task assigned by their father, and the secret weapon of the insect cannot be wasted on unimportant people.

"I'm glad you know." After Lan Luo reminded him, he lowered his head and concentrated on eating.

Lan Zheng looked at her with such an arrogant look and hated her so much.

Lan Luo is clearly the younger sister, but she never takes her, her older sister, seriously.

Isn't she just relying on the fact that her father likes her more?

What's so great?

When she helps Murong Ye ascend the throne, Murong Ye will make her the queen. At that time, she will definitely trample Lan Luo under her feet!

On the other side, Chu Xinyue walked up to Xue Youli and said, "Ali, I'll toast you too."

While toasting, she leaned close to Xue Youli's ear and whispered to her, "I did as you said and smashed the blood amber under Lan Zheng's feet. However, there were many people at the banquet making a lot of noise, and the sounds of the real blood amber and the fake blood amber breaking almost overlapped, so she didn't notice anything unusual."

Xue Youli was in a good mood and clinked his glass with hers, "Well done."

Chu Xinyue glanced at her and asked, "Is there anything else you need me to do next?"

Xue Youli shook his index finger at her, "No, let's wait and see what happens."

"Okay!"

…

After the dinner, Xue Youli stayed in the palace overnight.

She had just finished washing up when there were two light knocks and one heavy knock on the door.

She immediately recognized who it was and said, "Come in."

The door was opened, and Chu Xinyue was seen walking towards her bed holding a pillow, "Ali, I want to sleep with you tonight!"

After saying that, he climbed onto the bed and crawled into Xue Youli's quilt.

Xue Youli raised an eyebrow at her, "Why, did your King Kang make you angry again?"

"Don't mention that idiot. Every time I hear him mention Murong Ye, I get angry. Even if he is sold out by Murong Ye in the future, people like him will have to help Murong Ye count money."

"Hey! You can't blame Murong Nan for this. Who asked you to write a novel, setting up that Murong Ye saved Murong Nan's life, and setting up Murong Nan as Murong Ye's little follower? Isn't he just following the plot according to the character you gave him?"

"Ali, after hearing what you said, I realized that in the entire novel world, it seems that Murong Nan is the only fool whose character has not collapsed!"

"Yes, although he is silly, he makes people feel at ease!"

Chu Xinyue thought about how comfortable he had been with her last night, and her expression softened a bit, "Yes, one should be content. Aside from being stupid, Murong Nan is pretty good in other aspects."

Xue Youli squinted at her, "Oh? What other aspects do you mean?"

Seeing her teasing her, Chu Xinyue smacked her lips happily, "I know you've only drunk soup and haven't eaten meat yet, so I'll just say a few words, it's really good to have a younger brother! That physical strength and energy..."

Xue Youli looked at her hugging the quilt like crazy, and slapped her on the butt, "Don't be so frivolous! Is it a big deal to eat meat?"

"Hey! Even though you don't want to hear it, I still want to tell you that my brother is amazing...Ah! You're tickling me! Look at my Nine Yin Bone Claw!"

“Ahahahaha…hahahaha…”

Xue Youli was afraid of itching, so she rolled around on the bed.

After Chu Xinyue stopped, she knelt on the quilt and asked her, "Are you admitting defeat?"

Xue Youli rolled her eyes and threw herself on top of her. "The king's woman never admits defeat! Look at how powerful I am!"

As a result, Chu Xinyue pushed her down with one hand, "Who is the best, huh?"

Xue Youli admitted it in a second, "Ayue, you are awesome! You are the best! I surrender, let's not fight anymore, let's go to sleep!"

"That's more like it."

Chu Xinyue hugged her, feeling her soft waist, and couldn't help muttering, "It's so soft in my arms, Murong Che is so lucky!"
