But all that pride shattered completely in front of this man.
Now, she finally realized that she wasn't the kind of woman without any charm.
Zuan frowned; this feeling was somewhat familiar, as if he had experienced it not long ago.
His gaze fell on the candle burning brightly in the room. After she came in, the only thing she did besides looking for the White Ze Horn was light the candle.
"You put rosemary in the candle?" His face darkened as he finally realized that it wasn't someone else who poisoned her, but she herself.
Of course, he was also implicated.
If I hadn't experienced this peculiar medicine at the Prince of Jin's residence before, I probably still wouldn't know what was going on.
Meng Chan was taken aback: "The Regent is indeed unfathomable; he even knows about such rare medicines."
"Wasn't it because the Prince of Dai wanted to use this medicine against the Princess Consort of Jin?" Zu An stopped talking. If he said any more, she might find out something.
Meng Chan was both shocked and furious: "That bastard, how could he do such a thing?"
At this moment, her originally fair skin turned a rosy red, as if she were in the state after her period, exuding an amazing femininity from head to toe.
Zuan glanced at her, thinking to himself, "How are you any better? Aren't you doing the same thing?"
"Why?" Zu An said in a deep voice, "I already promised to let them go, why are you doing this? Do you want the Meng family and the Prince of Dai to regain their former power?"
“No,” Meng Chan hurriedly shook her head and said pitifully, “I was just born into one of the most prestigious families in the empire. I’ve been used to deceit and treachery since I was a child, so I don’t believe in promises. Those old foxes in the capital often make promises one minute and then betray the other party the next.”
"I just wanted to give myself another layer of protection."
Yes, that's her trump card.
No matter what she does, she always prepares for the worst and thinks about what to do if she fails; otherwise, she wouldn't be worthy of being Bi Linglong's rival for so many years.
I'll try to seduce him from the back of the academy first; if it works out immediately, that would be best.
However, it turned out to be a failure. Although she appeared panicked, everything was still within expectations.
Then he took out the horn of the Bai Ze, something the other party desperately needed.
In addition to what happened before, the other party has gradually lowered their guard against the honey trap.
No one would have imagined she would make a comeback.
Lead him to this place, light a candle infused with the fragrance of rosemary, and let everything that follows fall into place.
The only regret is that the other party actually recognized this miraculous medicine.
Actually, once Zu An left, she could have easily stopped pursuing the third option, since the other party had already agreed. Having dealt with people for so many years, she could naturally tell whether the other party was telling the truth or lying.
But for some reason, she still initiated it as if possessed.
She didn't know what she was thinking; whenever she closed her eyes during this time, all she could see in her mind was his powerful image from that day.
Like a moth drawn to a flame, even though she knew it was wrong and the other person was her enemy, she still couldn't control her feelings.
She could only keep reassuring herself that all of this was to make the other party's promise more effective and to prevent them from going back on their word.
Zuan: "..."
Have you ever heard of the idiom "drawing a snake and adding feet"?
Meng Chan bit her red lips lightly: "I know this might offend you a little, but Regent, you don't need to worry so much. Those who are affected by this incense will forget everything that happened tonight. Your cultivation is higher than mine, so you will definitely wake up before me. When you see the scene, you will naturally remember. After it's over, just leave. I won't remember what happened when I wake up."
"You don't need to take any responsibility, and you don't need to feel any burden. After tonight, we will still be strangers. All I want is stability and peace of mind."
Zuan took a deep breath: "But if I go back on my word after I leave, there's nothing you can do, and you won't even know how much you've sacrificed."
Meng Chan smiled sadly: "I've already come to this point, what else can I lose?"
She walked to Zaun's side and gently placed her hands on his shoulders: "Regent, I hope I can completely quell your anger. This is my personal apology..."
...
"ah!"
At that moment, a scream rang out from the prison. The Prince of Dai lay on his bed, looking at his subordinates with tears in his eyes: "Be gentle, it hurts so much."
The subordinate was sweating profusely: "Your Highness, please bear with it. We'll apply medicine to your wounds. If you rest well, you'll have a chance to recover in the future. Although you'll be a little worse than a normal person, you shouldn't have too much trouble walking."
Prince Dai was, after all, a prince of noble status, and he was seriously injured, so he was imprisoned in the imperial prison. The court also sent one of his former attendants to take care of and serve him.
After all, it wouldn't look good if he died in prison before the charges were settled.
"Alas, do I still have a future?" The Prince of Dai's face was ashen. After that night, he was completely finished. Even if he wasn't convicted by the court, the best outcome would be to spend the rest of his life in this prison.
Of course, the most likely scenario is that one day he will be secretly executed by the Embroidered-Robed Envoy.
Thinking back to that moment, he couldn't help but tremble.
He didn't want to die. Even if he couldn't become emperor, even if he lost his cultivation and became a cripple for life, as long as he could live, there were still so many joys in the world.
At this moment, the subordinate hesitated for a moment: "Your Highness, there is actually another way."
"What method?" The Prince of Dai grabbed his hand excitedly, as if a drowning man had grasped a lifeline.
"I dare not say."
"At this point, what are you afraid to say? Speak up."
"...The princess is very beautiful..."
"Of course I know Chan'er is beautiful. Wait, what do you mean?"
"I heard that Zuan is very lewd."
King of Dai: "..."
"You bastard, what are you thinking!" His face instantly turned bright red. He was halfway through his rage when he suddenly remembered his current situation and calmed down. A glimmer of hope appeared in his eyes.
