This poison was replaced with the Seven-Day Killer.
The Seven-Day Killer only works if taken immediately within twelve hours.
What's most remarkable is that this Gu medicine can neutralize 50% of Gu poison.
Unless it's a very potent Gu poison, this "Seven-Day Kill" is enough. It only takes seven days to completely eliminate the Gu poison.
Unfortunately, the kind of Gu poison that the main villain was born with cannot be eliminated by a single Seven Days Kill spell.
Xiao Tang pondered: "Can I choose which kind of Gu poison I want?"
[Of course not, host. Only the system has the final say. You can redeem it whenever you want.]
[Damn you, you piece of shit system!]
[You think you can take advantage of me? I'm being polite to you, and you think I'm easy to bully?]
Xiao Tang was really furious with this damn system.
Luckily, she was alive, otherwise she would have been driven to her death by this damn system in no time.
[Host, as a seasoned user, you must calmly accept any tasks and decisions assigned by the system; this is what makes a qualified host.]
【I... Pshaw!】
Xiao Tang spat out a curse at this damn system.
I'll spit you to death.
Xiao Tang pinched the bridge of her nose.
The carriage traveled along the road, which was uneven and swayed, making her even more troubled.
Then she has no choice but to gamble!
First find withered white grass, then find the seven-day killer; only then can you have a 100% chance of winning.
Instead of relying on this damn system, you should rely on yourself.
If a dog-based system were reliable, pigs could fly.
Xiao Tang lowered her hand from pinching her brow, feeling much calmer.
[That damn system, tell me, how many points do I need before you reveal yourself?]
Oh.
After she reveals her true form, I'll see if she doesn't kill this scoundrel right away.
[Host, this is quite difficult. I can tell you, but it requires 500,000 points for me to reveal my true form.]
【500,000, huh? Very well, you just wait!】
Xiao Tang replied with a forced smile.
She bit down each word heavily.
Fortunately, 500,000 is a number that offers hope.
If we multiply it a few more times, we'll reach that goal!
[Host, 500,000 points aren't easy to accumulate, so don't be too arrogant.]
【Oh……】
How is she acting arrogant?
...
Back to the Regent's Palace.
The butler immediately came forward, "Your Highness, you're back! We have guests at the palace today. The Prince is playing chess with his distinguished guest in the bamboo grove in the backyard."
The bamboo grove in the backyard is where Di Jingling practices martial arts.
Since the forbidden area of Emperor Youming was lifted, the bamboo forest has become a place for Emperor Youming to play.
She previously said she would perform surgery to replace Di Youming's leg, but she hasn't done so yet.
However, she planned to first cure the villain of the poison, and then deal with Di Youming's leg. At that time, she could make a quick escape.
The sky is high and the earth is vast; let her roam freely.
Xiao Tang's heart wasn't set on being the Regent's wife; she never wanted to be a princess.
Moreover, the main villain is still destined to ascend the throne.
The position of Empress carries an even heavier burden.
Just thinking about it gives me a headache.
That's terrifying.
The power struggles within the imperial harem are terrifying to even think about.
Such scheming and intrigue should be left to the right people; Xiao Tang is simply not suited for it.
She nodded. "Okay then, I won't go over there. I'll go check out the kitchen."
Before the housekeeper could say anything more, she had already strode away.
Before returning to her residence, she had already torn off her disguise mask on the carriage.
Seeing that the princess was leaving without looking back, the steward immediately stopped Yan Shi, who had been following her, and asked, "Did the princess and the prince have a fight?"
Yan Shi: "How could that be? You must be confused. The prince and princess have a very good relationship."
He must have overheard the prince confessing his love to the princess.
You and I are so affectionate.
How could they possibly argue?
He glared at the butler who was spouting nonsense, then turned and left.
The butler stood there, muttering to himself, "How could that be? But the Princess and the Prince don't seem very happy."
Xiao Tang went to the kitchen to check on the dishes.
I thought that since we had distinguished guests today, the kitchen would prepare a grand feast, but looking at their menu, it seems that they are just the dishes that the Regent's Palace usually serves.
She frowned.
Ask Ruyi, "Who is our distinguished guest today?"
Caught off guard by the question, Ruyi looked at Xiao Tang in surprise: "Your Highness, is General Yang also considered a distinguished guest?"
Upon hearing that it was Yang Defu, Xiao Tang immediately shook his head.
"No!"
That explains it.
The vegetables in the backyard are nothing special.
As soon as she saw her leave, she quickly lifted her skirt and caught up with Xiao Tang, lowering her voice to say, "Your Highness, Yang Defu brought a woman to see the Regent. Aren't you curious?"
"What's there to be curious about?"
"But I heard them talking about the name Ning Shanyue..."
Ruyi paused at this point.
She looked at Xiao Tang cautiously.
Recently, Xiao Tang has been traveling between the Regent's Palace and the Imperial Preceptor's Palace.
She had, of course, heard from Yan Shi about the Princess Consort treating the Marquis of Dingbei at the Imperial Preceptor's residence.
Ning Cang's younger sister is named Ning Shanyue, and she also found out.
Xiao Tang immediately became interested and went to the bamboo grove in the backyard.
Why didn't you say so sooner?
Ruyi swallowed hard: "You didn't ask!"
She was just afraid the princess would be jealous!
Xiao Tang hurriedly went to the pavilion in the bamboo forest.
There was the sound of chess pieces falling onto the board.
Two men, one in black and one in blue, sat facing each other, each holding a chess piece. It seemed that the chess pieces on the board were engaged in a fierce battle.
