The steward and the royal physician were unaware that the princess was standing in the distance, convulsing as if electrocuted…
While the two were still discussing the prince's condition.
Suddenly, a red figure swept past them, moving so fast it became a blur.
Amidst their astonished gazes, Xiao Tang, dressed in a cumbersome wedding gown, swiftly transferred the medicine she had been holding in her mouth to Di Jingling.
This is a potion that was just retrieved from the detoxification system.
To avoid arousing suspicion from the housekeeper and the physician, she swallowed it first.
This is the universal antidote in the system.
She didn't care whether the regent's poison could be cured at this moment.
Simply eliminating the Regent's current poisoning symptoms will alleviate the system's electric shock penalty.
She had no choice but to do these things.
However, the physician and the steward were dumbfounded, stunned, and even petrified.
I can't believe this newlywed princess is so...unrestrained and bold?
Unfortunately, the unconscious man's mouth was tightly closed, and Xiao Tang had to exert a great deal of effort to get the medicine into his mouth.
My first kiss, given away to a two-dimensional character! Oh my god!
She released the man's mouth.
In the silence, as they parted, a soft "pop" was heard, causing the elderly physician and butler to blush.
Despite her composed demeanor, Xiao Tang's ears still flushed slightly.
She was embarrassed.
She'd lived 28 years in the 31st century and had never been this bold...
The system's electric shock punishment disappeared instantly, accompanied by a mechanical electronic voice flashing through Xiao Tang's mind.
[Congratulations, host, you have earned 5 points.]
Xiao Tang: ...
Five points are worthless; you can't do anything with them!
She suppressed the discomfort from the electric shock in her chest, gently touched her forehead, and said softly, "Butler, I feel a little dizzy. Could you take me to rest?"
The butler took a while to recover, filled with curiosity and suspicion about just how mysterious this princess was...
"Please come with me, Your Highness. All the previous princesses have lived in Qingxin Courtyard. This old servant has already had it cleaned and prepared."
Xiao Tang smiled sweetly and thanked her.
The butler immediately developed a great deal of goodwill towards the princess.
It's not like what people say, a fool and a lovesick girl at all.
This princess is gentle, kind, and polite, and she is also beautiful. She doesn't seem like a country bumpkin from the countryside.
She's probably no less capable than the third young lady of the Xiao family.
This time, the emperor issued an edict to marry off the daughter of General Xiao's family, but he did not specify which daughter was to be married. The Xiao family took advantage of this loophole and sent Xiao Tang over.
The emperor, remembering the four princesses who had died mysteriously before, turned a blind eye to it.
Qingxin Courtyard.
The first thing Xiao Tang did was remove the heavy phoenix crown from her head and change out of the fiery red wedding robe she was wearing.
She was slightly taken aback when she looked at her reflection in the bronze mirror.
She looked exactly like her, even the beauty mark under her right eye hadn't changed.
Because she was wearing ancient costume, and her reflection in the bronze mirror made her feel that she was beautiful in a way that was both ancient and elegant.
She sorted through the information and organized the detoxification system she had brought, finding only a pitiful 5 points.
Even if she wanted to exchange for something, she was powerless to do so.
At this point, she had no choice but to reconsider.
Since we're here, let's make the best of it.
The most urgent task is to save my own life, that of a cannon fodder.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Your Highness, the Prince has woken up and says he wants to see you." Through the door, Butler Liu spoke with a hint of a smile.
Xiao Tang understood what was going on, but she didn't know what the butler was laughing about.
She followed the steward to the Regent's Absolute Heart Pavilion, where the steward exclaimed, "The Princess is truly a lucky star! The Prince woke up as soon as she arrived. He will surely reward her."
Hearing the butler's words, Xiao Tang could only chuckle.
In the original book, the regent is portrayed as tyrannical, cruel, and a paranoid psychopath.
To reward her?
She'll probably be punished with a severe beating!
After all… she had just forcibly kissed him—oops, in her eagerness to save him, she had accidentally stolen his first kiss, which he had guarded for the female lead, Xiao Rourou, for twenty-four years.
As soon as he arrived at the entrance of Juexin Pavilion, the black-clad guards who had been standing on both sides like statues suddenly moved and quickly grabbed Xiao Tang's shoulders from both sides.
The two men were gripping Xiao Tang very tightly, as if they were trying to drag him into the house as a prisoner!
Xiao Tang cursed inwardly: "You scoundrel!"
It seems the plot to take her life will have to move up...
