Chapter 188 Brother Emperor, how about I make you into a puppet?
Ling Xue said, "Don't worry, brother. I won't let anyone hurt you. After all, you were the only one who treated me the best when we were in Feng Country."
"Back then, when my mother was beheaded, I was only five years old. Everyone said I should die with her because we both had the blood of the defeated nation in our veins. It was you who stood up and pleaded for me that allowed me to survive."
"Although you are my royal brother, in Axue's heart, you are like a father to her. You are much better than our heartless father."
"so……"
She smiled sweetly, as innocent as before, but the words she said were creepy.
"Royal brother, how about I make you into a puppet? That way, you won't reveal my secrets, and you can always stay with me!"
Ling Zhen's eyes suddenly widened.
"Don't be afraid, my royal brother. I won't let the corpse silkworms parasitize you. That would be too painful."
She took out a white porcelain bottle from her sleeve and slowly mixed it with water while saying:
"Unfortunately, the batch of flying corpse silkworms kept in the ice cellar of Tianxiang Tower were destroyed, and this little bit of Gu Heart Powder is all that's left. I originally wanted to leave it for the Crown Prince of Qi to enjoy. Now I can only give it to you, my royal brother."
"Oh, this Guxin powder is so difficult to melt. It takes a long time to stir it to completely dissolve. However, it tastes colorless and tastes great when you drink it."
"Okay, it finally dissolved."
She held the cup and the small ceramic spoon, coaxing him gently: "Brother, try it and see if the temperature is just right."
Ling Zhen clenched his teeth and tried hard to resist.
"My dear brother, if you drink this, your emotions and mind will degenerate. Although you will no longer be as vivid and lively as before after becoming a puppet, at least this will keep you alive."
"Don't blame Ah Xue for being cruel. I'm doing this for your own good. Otherwise, the Guiyuan Sect people wouldn't let you go. Don't worry, even if you become a puppet in the future, I will take good care of you and make sure you live a respectable life as the prince of Feng Kingdom."
"Brother, drink quickly!"
The medicine on the spoon did not go in, but instead spilled out.
Ling Xue was a little annoyed. She threw the spoon away, pinched Ling Zhen's chin to force him to open his mouth, and then poured the potion in the cup down his throat.
Seeing that he had swallowed the medicine, Ling Xue untied his acupoint.
The rough administration of the medicine made Ling Zhen cough non-stop while covering his neck.
He scratched his throat, trying to spit out the powder.
Ling Xue said, "It's useless. Once this medicine enters your body, it will quickly flow into your body's meridians, causing your entire body to slowly become limp and lose control of itself. After an hour, you will completely lose consciousness and become a meek puppet."
"You!" Ling Zhen suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Ling Xue's neck tightly.
Seeing this, Yan Qiuer did not try to rescue him, but just sneered.
Ling Xue also looked fearless.
Ling Zhen hated this heartless sister so much that he wanted to strangle her to death.
But for some reason, after grabbing her neck, he couldn't exert any strength in his hands.
It seemed as if there was a strange force controlling him, preventing him from killing him.
Ling Xue easily pushed his hand away and said with a smile, "Royal brother, don't waste your energy. The potion you just drank was mixed with my blood. I am the master of your puppet body. Therefore, you can't harm me."
"You bitch, I've been nurturing a tiger for so many years!"
"Royal brother, why are you so angry? Yes, it was thanks to you that Ah Xue was able to escape death. You are indeed better to me than father. But you, like them, treat me as a pawn in your hands."
The beautiful girl was still smiling, but her eyes were filled with a layer of coldness.
"Do you really think of me as your sister? Or as a tool for your marriage?"
"Princess of the Golden Branches and Jade Leaves, what a beautiful title... But we are both of royal blood, so why can you princes compete for supremacy while we can only marry far away?"
"In peaceful times, we were the bond that maintained peace. But when the beacon fires were lit, we were the first to be sacrificed. Just like my mother, they chopped off her head in front of the three armies in front of me. I watched that head roll to my feet, and so much blood was shed..."
"When my eldest sister married into a foreign land, she was in her prime, yet she had to serve an aging monarch."
"My second sister only wanted to break free from her shackles and elope with the guards. But my father made her watch with his own eyes as his lover was slashed to death, cut by cut, until his flesh and bones turned to mud. She has gone mad, and her value is gone. She can only pick up other people's leftovers in the cold palace."
"This is the royal princess of Feng Kingdom, a princess of the golden branches and jade leaves!"
"But what about you? You princes, no matter your birth, will own a mansion when you reach adulthood. If you're lucky, you can even rule the world!"
"Why? We are all the Emperor's children. Are we born to be tools, stepping stones on your road to power?"
"Why? Why!"
Her voice rose, her tone growing increasingly frantic. "I couldn't surrender. I couldn't let myself end up like my elder and second sisters. Fortunately, I later... encountered the Guiyuan Sect."
"That sect is very interesting. Even women can gain great power. So I used my status as a princess to act as a cover for them and opened branches of various sizes in Feng Country."
"And they gave me the position of elder. They also taught me how to raise flying corpse silkworms. With these things, I can refine the poisonous heart powder and turn people into puppets to use for my own purposes."
"My purpose in coming to Qi is to establish a branch of Guiyuan Sect here and to promote our sect."
"As for being infatuated with the Crown Prince of Qi... hehe, how could someone like me be trapped by love?"
"But Dongfang Qi is indeed a good marriage candidate. If he is willing to be with me, that would be great. If not, I will find a way to turn him into a puppet and use him to control the State of Qi!"
Ling Zhen never thought that Ling Xue actually harbored such a strong grudge and even did such a crazy thing.
"Although Feng is a large country, it borders 26 nations in the Western Regions and is frequently invaded by them. Years of war have caused great suffering to the people and depleted the treasury."
"Many times, arranged marriages are forced upon us. Not only princesses, but even princes, we have no say in our marriages. But what can we do? We are members of the royal family, and our lives of luxury have been supported by the common people since childhood. Naturally, we must fulfill our duties as princesses and princes."
"My Royal Brother also knows that as girls, you bear more shackles. That's why I agreed to bring you to Qi this time. Even if we have to form an alliance, marrying into Qi is better than going to the Western Regions."
"Even if Dongfang Qi has no interest in you, my brother is actively planning for you to join other members of the Qi royal family. For example, Dongfang Yan, who is young and powerful, is the best candidate besides the crown prince..."
"But why do I have to rely on others?" Ling Xue interrupted him, "I've had enough of relying on others for so many years!"
"Dongfang Yan? Ha! Do you really think he's a good guy? He's just attracted to my status. If I really marry him as you wish, it would just be like moving from one cage to another."
"I want to make myself stronger, I want to raise more flying corpse silkworms, and I want to make those powerful men become my puppets!"
"Brother, wait until you become my puppet. Then we will go back to Feng Kingdom together. Father trusts you the most. He will eat anything you give him, even if it is poison. Then, we will turn Father into a puppet as well!"
"Hahaha, it's really interesting just thinking about it!"
"Alas, it's a pity that Dongfangqi's good looks were originally mine. But now things have changed, and I have no choice but to return to Feng Country first."
She turned around and asked Yan Qiuer: "Have you packed everything?"
