"Ahem, the second poison is called 'Black Fang,' which is made from a mixture of ten deadly poisons. After taking it, it will cause symptoms to appear several times a month, the frequency of which varies, but this depends on the Regent's physical condition."
"Oh? Anything else?" Di Jingling raised his handsome eyebrows slightly, surprised by Xiao Tang's extremely quick and accurate judgment.
You should know—this was a poison he had searched far and wide for, only to have it diagnosed by renowned doctors.
It was his bride, who was supposed to be brought in for a marriage of convenience, who was diagnosed so quickly.
Xiao Tang coughed lightly: "No... that's all."
[Actually, this villain also uses a form of witchcraft, which causes the man to turn into a freak with red eyes on the fifteenth of every month, and his white hair is also caused by it.]
[The book only mentions that this witchcraft is called 'Bone-Piercing,' a secret of the Regent, and anyone who dares to know it will suffer the annihilation of their entire family.]
The most frustrating thing is that the author of the book never mentioned what the secret of this witchcraft was. They kept you in suspense until the very end, and even after the main villain died, it wasn't revealed. It seems the author himself probably forgot about it.
Bang!
Suddenly, the teacup in the man's hand smashed at Xiao Tang's feet, shattering into countless broken pieces.
Startled, Xiao Tang jumped up and down on the spot.
She looked at Di Jingling, puzzled: [What's going on?]
"Are there any other poisons?" The man looked at Xiao Tang with a sinister gaze, his eyes already filled with murderous intent.
Xiao Tang was confused, but still timidly explained in a low voice, "No...nothing, Your Highness. I only received the medical skills from the divine physician in a dream. Even if there is poison, it won't be detected in a short time, right?"
After saying that, he blinked.
Those little eyes revealed a hint of innocence and a faint piety.
"I'll give you three days to cure me!" Suppressing his anger, which made him want to crush the armrest of the chair, Di Jingling gave the order and then waved his hand to let her out.
Xiao Tang returned to her room and let out a long sigh of relief.
Being with the main villain is really dangerous.
The next day.
Xiao Tang was awakened by her maid Ruyi. "Your Highness, we are going to the palace to serve tea today. The Regent's carriage is already waiting at the gate of the palace."
Ruyi was specially arranged for her by the steward of the Prince's mansion.
She listened to Ruyi's words while dozing off in front of the dressing mirror.
I haven't slept well since I got here.
I was even woken up from a nightmare last night where I was strangled to death by the main villain!
After getting into the carriage... she suddenly felt a jolt throughout her body.
The constant flow of cold air inside the carriage made people shiver like leaves.
[Tsk tsk tsk, this villain is truly extraordinary. With him around in the summer, we can save on air conditioning costs.]
The man who had been called a "dog villain" glared at Xiao Tang, his eyes growing colder and sharper.
What is... an air conditioner?
What is that? Something for making ice?
Of course, Di Jingling would never ask a question at this time, as it would make him seem ignorant.
"Set off for the palace," the man commanded in a deep voice, his thin lips barely moving.
The carriage slowly began to move.
Xiao Tang's attention was drawn to the man beside her.
Today, the regent is dressed in a dark brocade robe with a giant python, and a gold belt around his waist with a peculiar jade pendant that is only half intact.
Upon closer inspection, one can see that the pattern on the top of the jade pendant is that of a dragon.
Stern and proud.
She was so engrossed in looking at the jade pendant that she didn't notice that Di Jingling was also observing her.
The man's deep-set eyes held a hint of coldness as he gazed at Xiao Tang. His entire face seemed sculpted by the hand of God, breathtakingly handsome!
Oh my god, this face is stunning!
[This villain's face is indeed quite handsome from every angle; truly—he's good for nothing except his face!]
The man's face gradually darkened.
Him? He's good for nothing except his face?
Xiao Tang touched her chin. "It's alright, it's alright. Just enjoy looking at such good-looking people."
Di Jingling, who had originally had a dark expression, smiled slightly with a hint of pleasure after hearing her words.
but--
The carriage suddenly found itself in an unknown location, and began to jolt violently.
Just as Xiao Tang was admiring the villain's good looks, she was jostled around so much that she felt nauseous.
"Am I handsome?" The man was still unaware of Xiao Tang's condition.
The question had barely left his mouth when Xiao Tang suddenly lunged towards the car window, "Ugh—"
