Chapter 159 Crisis of Trust



Then who was the woman she saw last night? Xiangze frowned and immediately gasped in pain.

Yue Nanyu's mouth twitched with pain, thinking to herself, how could his eighth brother have the heart to touch such a beautiful woman? If it were him, he would pretend to be sleepwalking and kiss her first. What a waste of a gift!

Because Xiangze was injured, the team rested for a morning and only moved forward after lunch.

Xiangze was originally riding at the front of the team, but he fell behind at some point and was riding side by side with Yue Nanyu, but his eyes kept glancing at the red-armored guard sitting on the black horse behind him.

The red-armored guard had a cold and gloomy face, as if he didn't notice her constant glances at him, and was just busy on his way.

Ah Luo opened the curtain and frowned at the figures of Xiangze and Yue Nanyu running side by side. Could it be that the imperial sister likes Yue Nanyu? But isn't it Yue Nanchen that she has always admired?

"What's wrong?" For the first time, Nan Han took the initiative to talk to A Luo.

Ah Luo was startled, and seemed a little uncomfortable, but still replied, "Nothing, I was just watching Xiangze. Her behavior seems a little abnormal these two days!"

"Princess Xiangze?" Nan Han looked up. The woman was dressed in red and looked full of energy. She seemed to be listening to what Yue Nanyu said and showed a lively smile.

Nan Han felt a bitter feeling in her heart. She was once a princess doted on by everyone, but now she had fallen to this point. Her expression suddenly became gloomy. She lowered her head, lowered her eyes and brows, and sat quietly aside.

A Luo did not notice the change in Nan Han's expression. He just looked thoughtfully at the two people talking and laughing in front of him. When he got tired of looking, he turned his head and looked back.

Shui Yao and his group were drowned in the crowd, and he couldn't see them at all. He just looked at them.

The heart will become calm.

At this time, Shui Yao was thinking about how to get close to A Luo and find out the news about the woman in black.

Intuitively, she felt that the woman must be from the palace. A Luo seemed to know something, so he followed her all the way. He would take advantage of the wedding to go into the palace of Miro Kingdom to investigate.

Ever since Princess Nanhan was humiliated, Zhuifeng always felt that the young lady had some misunderstandings about her master. He wanted to explain, but never had the chance.

Last night, he sent a pigeon to ask for instructions from his master, but he didn't expect that his master would only reply with four words: "Let it be!" What does that mean? Does he want him to make things clear or...

The team finally arrived at the capital of Miro Kingdom in the evening. Under the beautiful sunset, in front of the majestic palace gate, Emperor Mi Zun of Miro Kingdom and Empress Liu Yirou came to greet them in their best attire.

Nanyue's soldiers who were escorting the bride were arranged to stay in an inn outside the palace, but Yue Nanyu was invited to the palace to preside over the wedding ceremony of A Luo and Nanhan the next day. Naturally, Yue Nanchen also went with them as a personal guard.

A Luo ordered Leng Jiu to bring the imperial chef he brought from Nanyue into the palace. After a slight hesitation, Leng Jiu had no choice but to do as he was told.

The sky gradually darkened, and the entire palace of the Miro Kingdom was shrouded in a festive atmosphere.

Along the white jade steps, A Luo and Nan Han, both dressed in bright red, walked up hand in hand. Tomorrow they would hold the most grand wedding in front of the ancestors of the Miro Kingdom.

Yue Nanyu sat below Mi Zun, in a seat second only to the emperor, and while politely answering Mi Zun's questions, she looked at Nanhan with satisfaction. No matter what, Nanhan had found happiness, and the mastermind who dared to hurt Nanhan would be investigated after returning to the country!

Festive music sounded, and Mi Zun led the civil and military officials to warmly welcome Princess Nanyue and the envoys to the court. The whole dinner was lively but boring.

Leng Jiu placed the imperial chefs and others in the backyard of the courtyard where the palace servants lived, and finally walked up to Shui Yao and said, "Can I talk to you?"

Wearing a human skin mask, Shui Yao smiled flatteringly and followed Leng Jiu out of the courtyard.

"Miss Shui'er, I know it's you!" Leng Jiu whispered, staring closely at the mediocre face of the thirty-year-old man in front of him.

Shui Yao said nothing, but just smiled flatteringly.

"No matter what, our prince will marry the princess tomorrow. I hope you will stop pestering our prince!"

Leng Jiu said in a cold voice, "This is the royal palace of the Miro Kingdom. No matter how good your martial arts are, it will be difficult to escape. Do you understand what I mean? I advise you to leave quickly, otherwise..." Leng Jiu's eyes suddenly became bloodthirsty and gloomy.

Raising his eyebrows lazily, the man in front of him slowly curled the corners of his lips, revealing a smile full of sarcasm and disdain, then turned around and strode inside.

Leng Jiu looked at the graceful back angrily and clenched his hands tightly.

He didn't know that Shui Yao was poisoned. He simply thought that Shui Yao followed the prince here just to ruin the prince's wedding. He would never let this woman succeed!

Late at night, the palace, which had been bustling all night, finally quieted down.

Leng Jiu wandered in front of the Queen's bedroom, looking embarrassed.

"General Leng, the Queen wants you to come in!" Just when he was feeling embarrassed, he saw the Queen's personal maid Li Ji hurriedly coming out of the bedroom.

Leng Jiu was stunned and could only go in reluctantly.

In the pavilion of the Imperial Garden, Liu Yirou was beautiful and elegant in gorgeous clothes, but there was a hint of hostility between her brows.

"cold

Jiu, you are finally here! This palace and the emperor even made a bet, whether you will take this step or not! "Liu Yirou smiled softly, her laughter was pleasant to the ears, but it sounded cold to others.

"The Emperor and the Empress see through everything. Leng Jiu won't dare to do it again!" He quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"It's not your fault. The prince has really grown up. But it's better this way. That woman is in this palace, so I don't have to work hard. Unless I swear by blood to get rid of her, the prince cannot marry Princess Nanhan. Tonight, I will break the blood oath between the prince and that woman and remove the obstacles for the prince!" Liu Yirou's words turned cold. She took out the Yaoqin from behind, her eyes full of bloodthirstiness.

Tonight, she wanted that woman to die. To be honest, she was a little reluctant to let her go. After all, she was a chess piece she had cultivated for a long time!

The bloodthirsty words echoed coldly in the imperial garden. Leng Jiu's heart shrank. He raised his eyes to glance at the queen. Her beautiful face was a little distorted, no longer the gentle and sweet face she usually was.

"You go back and watch over the prince. Don't let him step out of the bedroom!" Liu Yirou said coldly. Looking at the moonlight, she knew that half an hour would be the most gloomy time of the day. The power of the poison would be ten times more severe than usual.

It’s a pity that today is the sixteenth, not the fifteenth, otherwise, it would only take a little effort to deal with that woman!

"Yes, Queen!" Leng Jiu quickly obeyed the order, frowning as he walked. Thinking about it, the Crown Prince was also very kind to him. Last time he hurt the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince only scolded him a few words and did not punish him. Now...

Thinking that Lan Shuiyao might die of poison, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince... Leng Jiu couldn't help but quicken his pace. He was not a fickle person.

He just has the lives of hundreds of Leng family members on his shoulders and is caught in a dilemma between the emperor and the prince!

The closer Shui Yao got to the palace, the more she felt the poison in her stomach become active. It hadn't stopped since she entered the palace. It wasn't painful, but she just felt uncomfortable, with a stuffy feeling in her chest. She was not only irritable, but also had difficulty breathing.

After being settled by Leng Jiu, Shui Yao lay alone in the room, searching her mind for all the knowledge she had learned, but she could not find a way to deal with the poison.

"Miss, your dinner!" Outside the door, Zhuifeng knocked gently and whispered.

"Leave it outside!" Shui Yao said lazily and forced herself to sit up. She had to eat something so that she could have the strength to find a way to detoxify the poison.

She just didn't know how to meet A Luo. She believed that with A Luo's fingerprints, she would be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort and wouldn't have to run around in this huge palace.

When Zhuifeng heard Shuiyao's voice, he frowned worriedly. He knew that she must be suffering from the poison, but he hated himself and his brothers for not being able to help.

Shuiyao was a little surprised when she opened the door and saw Zhuifeng still standing outside. In fact, after what happened with Nanhan, Shuiyao had become somewhat wary of Tianwen.

She had a premonition that something would definitely happen between her and Tianwen, so she had some reservations about the four Zhuifeng brothers and did not trust them as much as she had originally expected.

So his attitude became much colder, but he didn't expect that Zhuifeng didn't leave, but was standing outside the door with food in his hand.

"Miss, Zhuifeng has something to tell you!" Zhuifeng whispered. He had long noticed Shuiyao's indifference towards the four of them in the past few days, but there were some things that he couldn't reveal without the master's order!
