Chapter 449: The Wife-Indulging Devil King x The Useless Third Miss 18

"Snap"

The emperor's angry voice brought silence to the hall, and the sound of the cup breaking was particularly obvious.

All eyes turned to Xiao Mohan at the same time.

The emperor frowned slightly and said, "Han'er, what are you doing? Don't be impolite."

Xiao Mohan wiped the water stains on his hands with a handkerchief, stood up calmly and said, "Father, I am sure you know that Miss Qiao has been living in my mansion these days. I am also very pleased with Miss Qiao. Please grant me marriage."

"Oh?" The emperor, who knew everything, looked at Aunt Qiao meaningfully and laughed, "Hahaha, I didn't expect Miss Qiao San to be so likable."

"But Miss Qiao is a mid-level alchemist, and I cannot just give her a marriage."

"Which of my sons does Miss Qiao take a fancy to? Or does she not like any of them?"

The threat in the emperor's eyes was particularly obvious, how could Jin Jin Qiao not know what it meant?

[Host, this emperor is so shameless, is he attracted to you? ]

"He doesn't like me at all. He doesn't want me to marry any of his sons. It would be a threat to him if I married anyone."

【Human hearts are complicated】

Qiao Jinjin stood up from her seat, nodded slightly to the emperor and said, "Your Highness the Ghost King is pleased with me. Please grant me marriage."

The emperor paused slightly. He did not expect that Aunt Qiao would dare to disobey his wishes. She was so audacious. Did she think that as an intermediate pharmacist, he would not dare to touch her?

"Hahaha, very good, I didn't expect Miss Qiao San to be so fond of Han'er."

"In this case, wouldn't it be unreasonable for me not to grant you the marriage?"

"I will grant you a marriage after the state banquet."

Anyone who is not too stupid can see that the emperor is reluctant.

Prince Lingnan was very angry on the carriage back to the inn. He looked at Tong Zheng who was kneeling in front of him and said, "Is this what you call foolproof?"

Tong Zheng was so frightened that his whole body trembled. Although Prince Lingnan usually looked kind and cheerful, only his subordinates knew that Prince Lingnan's methods of torturing people were extremely cruel.

"It was my mistake. I didn't expect Wen Yuezhi to be like this."

Prince Lingnan casually took out a dagger from the jacket beside him, pointed it at Tong Zheng's chest and slowly applied force, and Tong Zheng's chest soon turned red.

"You piece of crap, why would you choose a fool like Wen Yuezhi as your pawn?"

Tong Zheng lowered his head and dared not speak, and even though his chest hurt, he dared not make a sound.

Prince Lingnan immediately felt bored, threw the dagger on the ground and said, "Go down and receive your punishment."

"What a waste of such a good pill. It's the only one that can control the soul."

Duke Wen brought Wen Yuezhi back to his mansion, but looking at Wen Yuezhi's symptoms at this time, Duke Wen was troubled.

"Doctor, what's wrong with my daughter?"

The doctor shook his head in embarrassment and said, "My Lord, the second young lady is not sick. Her current symptoms are more like amnesia."

"Amnesia?" Duke Wen was puzzled for a moment. Could it be that Aunt Qiao was responsible again?

"Housekeeper, go find Aunt Qiao and come over here. I don't believe she won't come."

The butler took the order and left, but he was still a little unsure in his heart. He could see clearly that the Third Miss was no longer under the control of the Duke, and the Second Miss had brought this upon herself.

Not long after the butler left, Crown Prince Xiao Chengyang actually came to the Duke's Mansion in person.

This made Duke Wen, who had been neglected for several days, feel flattered.

"Your humble servant pays respect to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Xiao Chengyang waved his hands irritably and said, "What's going on with Yue'er?"

"I noticed something was wrong with her at the State Banquet."

Duke Wen said with a worried look, "The doctor said Yue'er's symptoms are like amnesia. The last person Yue'er saw was Aunt Qiao. Could it be that Aunt Qiao was the one who caused her death?"

Xiao Chengyang's eyes flickered as he said, "If it is true or not, just call her back and ask her and you will know."

Duke Wen nodded repeatedly and said, "Your Highness is right. I have already sent someone to call her back."

The old butler strolled at the entrance of the Ghost King's Mansion for a while, and finally mustered up the courage to knock on the door.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, someone from Duke Wen is here to see you. He says he has something urgent to tell you."

The Emperor has already promised to arrange the marriage, and everyone in the palace has begun to openly call for Aunt Qiao to be the princess. Aunt Qiao doesn't really care, as it doesn't matter to her whether she is called earlier or later.

"Auntie, are you going back to the Duke's Mansion? I will go back with you."

Aunt Qiao shook her head and said, "Although the emperor has promised to grant me a marriage, the imperial decree has not yet come down. I can just go back by myself."

Xiao Mohan's handsome face was full of reluctance, completely different from his usual cold and aloof appearance.

"Then I will order someone to protect you in secret."

Aunt Qiao could only agree. Although she knew in her heart that the people sent by Xiao Mohan were not as powerful as herself, she still had to appease Xiao Mohan.

"Okay, Your Majesty, please find someone to help me sell these pills to the Chamber of Commerce. If I refine too many, I won't be able to use them."

Aunt Qiao took more than ten bottles of pills from the shelf nearby. The names were all written on the bottles. There were all kinds of strange pills.

Changfeng was simply stunned when he saw the pile of bottles and jars. When did the princess make this medicine? None of his subordinates even knew about it.

Seeing Changfeng's expression, Qiao Jinjin was speechless. "Okay, we can't use these pills. I will definitely keep the useful ones for you."

"I'll go back to the Duke's Mansion first and come back as soon as I'm done with my business."

Changfeng looked at Qiao Jinjin's back and exclaimed, "The princess is so amazing. The speed at which she makes medicine is beyond anyone's reach."

Xiao Mohan glanced at Changfeng with disdain and said, "You are such a loser. Hurry up and protect the princess in secret. If anything happens to the princess, you will be held responsible."

Changfeng curled his lips and thought to himself, does the princess need protection from these people? The princess is much more powerful than them.

The fact that Aunt Qiao was willing to go back to the Duke's Mansion made the old butler breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, if he couldn't invite the third young lady back, the Duke would definitely punish him severely in anger.

Aunt Qiao had never expected that Xiao Chengyang was there, so she bowed to the prince helplessly and said, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."

Xiao Chengyang was quite satisfied with Qiao Jinjin's attitude and said, "Stand up. Miss Third is a mid-level pharmacist, so you don't have to bow to me. Come and see Yue'er. I believe Miss Third must have a way to cure her."

Aunt Qiao raised her eyebrows, took out a pill from her body and said, "She can indeed be saved. She was poisoned by the Soul Control Pill."

"Spirit Control Pill?" Duke Wen exclaimed in surprise, "How come there is such a thing as a Spirit Control Pill nowadays?"

Jin Jin Qiao stuffed the pill into Wen Yuezhi's mouth, not because she was kind, but because Wen Yuezhi couldn't die yet.

"Father, do you mean that the Soul Control Pill shouldn't exist now? Isn't it a very normal pill?"
