This is a shameful chapter in history!
Just two years ago, when Prince An was eighteen, the Longtai Empire and the Tiansheng Empire were engaged in a ten-year war. Seeing that Longtai was about to suffer a defeat, the emperor had no choice but to send Prince An to lead the army to fight the enemy.
However, just as Prince An arrived at the front line, he suddenly lost all his spiritual power and was unable to command the battle at all.
Fortunately, at this time, fifteen-year-old Feng Qingcheng brought several thousand poison pills to the battlefield. With the help of her poison pills, the soldiers won this ten-year war.
The Tiansheng Empire was forced to cede two cities and sign a ten-year peace treaty with Longtai.
In this battle, Feng Qingcheng was crowned the Goddess of Poison, while Prince An fell from his divine pedestal and became a useless person unable to cultivate.
The Feng family also gained the emperor's favor because of Feng Qingcheng, and Feng Lingzhi was appointed as a general.
Thanks to Feng Qingcheng's life-saving pill, Feng Lingzhi won all his battles afterward.
However, half a year ago, Feng Qingcheng lost all her spiritual power and could no longer refine pills.
The deadly pill disappeared from the world.
The imperial physicians, realizing what had happened, wiped the sweat from their brows. One of them said, "We were too naive. Does Princess An have any antidote for this deadly pill?"
"That's more like it," Feng Qingcheng sneered.
"So, Princess An has the antidote?"
"No."
Feng Qingcheng's answer was so straightforward that it made all the imperial physicians so angry they almost vomited blood.
Without an antidote, who gave you the courage?
That's outrageous!
That's true. How could a useless person without spiritual power possibly refine pills?
How hateful!
"Are you so sure the Crown Prince was given a deadly pill?"
Feng Qingcheng's words enraged the imperial physicians.
"We investigated the poison together and confirmed that the poison His Highness the Crown Prince was poisoned with was exactly the same as the deadly pill that the Princess Consort had given him. There is no mistake."
Feng Qingcheng snorted coldly, "Although I don't have spiritual power and can't refine pills, I still have the ability to distinguish poisons."
After speaking, she took a few steps forward, slightly lifted her veil, and glanced indifferently at the Crown Prince, whose face had darkened.
"The prince was not given a deadly pill."
"That's impossible."
"This is clearly a deadly pill."
"My deadly pills won't make people die so horribly. My poison pills will only make people die beautifully, but this poison makes people look so ugly. I don't know which deity the Crown Prince offended. Now the poison has reached his heart. If there is no antidote, I'm afraid he won't last even half an incense stick's time. You should prepare to collect the body."
Feng Qingcheng's words made the imperial physicians feel weak all over.
Everyone present was terrified.
I initially thought it was a trap set by the Crown Prince, but it ended up involving the useless young lady, and now it's turned into a murder case?
My God, who is the mastermind?
Based on the current situation, Prince An is the most likely suspect.
Things have come full circle, back to square one.
Just then, a voice announced from outside the door, "The Emperor has arrived."
Everyone was so frightened that they quickly got up and knelt down with a thud.
"Your Majesty..."
As waves of Xuanzun power surged forth, the crowd was rendered speechless.
Fortunately, the powerful figures quickly withdrew their pressure, which saved everyone's lives.
Beside the emperor was a handsome young man, whose face always wore a gentle smile.
"Poison Sect, Laughing Forget-Worry."
"Yes, I heard that he has been engrossed in the research of poisons in recent years, and perhaps his poisons have surpassed those of the young lady back then."
"He's here to detoxify His Highness the Crown Prince, isn't he?"
"Hopefully he can cure the Crown Prince's poison, otherwise, if the Emperor gets angry, who knows how many people will die."
The crowd whispered among themselves.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is suffering from a heart attack caused by poison. I am not capable of curing it, but I do have a Rejuvenation Pill, which can reduce the poison by three-tenths and prolong the time it takes for the Crown Prince to take effect. The most urgent task is to find an antidote."
The Emperor was extremely anxious. "Sir, please administer it to the Crown Prince."
Xiao Wangyou quickly stuffed a Rejuvenation Pill into the Crown Prince's mouth.
After the prince took the medicine, the dark aura on his face immediately dissipated by a third.
Feng Qingcheng never expected to meet her good friend Xiao Wangyou under these circumstances. In just half a year, he became a favorite of the emperor.
In a way, she was practically Xiao Wangyou's mentor; she taught him all about poison pills.
Everyone knelt down, except for Long Moyuan and Feng Qingcheng.
Feng Qingcheng, dressed in a wedding gown, stood beside Long Moyuan, calmly observing Xiao Wangyou and the Emperor.
The Emperor glanced at her indifferently, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes. This genius who once saved Longtai, he thought that with her around, Longtai would grow stronger day by day, but in the end, she turned into a useless piece of trash.
So annoying!
"Qingcheng, I'm sorry to trouble you. On this joyous night, you should go back to your bridal chamber."
It's clear that the emperor is still protecting this good-for-nothing.
Indeed, if he were to kill Princess An now, it would inevitably give people something to talk about.
However, Feng Qingcheng did not appreciate his kindness.
"Your Majesty, Qingcheng and the Prince have been wronged. If they are not cleared of this crime, Qingcheng will not return."
A hint of displeasure flashed in the Emperor's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
Well, Feng Qingcheng, you weren't this arrogant when you were a genius. Now that you've become a good-for-nothing, you've suddenly become arrogant?
"You stubborn girl. Fine, I'll investigate tonight myself and see who has the audacity to plot against the Crown Prince."
"Can someone tell me what exactly happened tonight?"
...
Feng Qingran, hiding in the shadows, was terrified.
She clearly used Feng Qingcheng's deadly pill, so how did she end up like this?
Is it too late for her to jump out and hand over the antidote now?
At that moment, a voice transmission talisman was delivered to her.
She infused her with spiritual power, and Chunhua's voice rang out.
"Second Miss, something terrible has happened! The Eldest Miss used the Spirit Absorption Technique and drained all of Uncle's spiritual power. Now Uncle is on the verge of death."
Feng Qingran was greatly surprised.
This Feng Qingcheng has actually mastered the Feng family's forbidden technique—Spirit Absorption!
Does that mean she can start cultivating again?
If she grows up, she will definitely take revenge on me!
No, tonight, she must kill Feng Qingcheng!
...
"Your Majesty, the second young lady of the General's Mansion, Feng Qingran, is requesting an audience outside the mansion. She says that the mansion only has one antidote for the Deadly Pill, the Hundred-Cure Pill, and hopes it can help His Highness the Crown Prince."
"Let her in."
Now the Emperor places all his hopes on this newly crowned goddess, showering her with even more affection than he had shown for Feng Qingcheng.
Unfortunately, this second young lady enjoyed the endless resources of the royal family, and apart from advancing a little faster than her peers, she did not show any special talents.
If it weren't for the prophecy of the goddess, the emperor would have doubted whether the resources of the past six months had been wasted.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Feng Qingran straightened her back and walked to the Emperor.
These days, wherever she goes, she's the center of attention, followed by a bunch of fans, which makes her increasingly arrogant, and she's started to make a huge show of herself.
But she would never dare to be presumptuous in front of the Emperor.
"Qingran greets Your Majesty." Feng Qingran bowed.
The Emperor said, "No need."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. After hearing from my father about the Crown Prince's situation, I remembered that my sister had given me a pill for emergencies. I hope it can help Your Highness."
After Feng Qingran finished speaking, she presented the pills with both hands.
