Crossing the World: This Prince is a Little Sweet

"Yes, it's her. The poison in my body is caused by her. This woman is extremely vicious..."

Shangguan Yun gritted her teeth as she spoke, her eyes filled with resentment.

"Don't get excited, senior... your health is more important."

Chu Xi only knew that she was the Palace Master of Yanyue Palace and the master of Sun Yuqiong. This was what Brother Liuyun told her. She knew nothing else.

"Hehe... Your Highness, I lost my composure just now."

Shangguan Yun realized that she had been too radical and quickly apologized to Chu Xi.

"No... Senior... If I were you, I would also hate the person who poisoned me to the core and would even want to cut her into pieces."

Chu Xi understood Shangguan Yun's feelings. Just mentioning this name could make people feel angry. Anyone would be mentally broken if they had to endure the erosion of toxins for decades.

However, Chu Xi still admired Sikong Shu in his heart. This person could be considered a genius. She was able to develop such a powerful toxin, and no one had been able to detoxify it for so many years.

If I didn't have the Fire Cloud Bracelet and the Miaojiang secret recipe in my hand, it would have been very difficult for me to cure her poison.

"So what's the situation outside now?"

Shangguan Yun looked towards the tightly closed window, trying to see what was happening outside through the white window paper.

"It's okay now. The prince is guarding outside for us. They can't get in..." Chu Xi signaled her not to worry too much.

"I'm glad you're okay..." Shangguan Yun's eyes moved away from the window and fell on Chu Xi who was standing beside her. She spoke in a calm voice: "You know... she and I were best friends back then. We grew up together and I would share everything with her."

Hearing Shangguan Yun's words, Chu Xi was surprised: "..."

Shangguan Yun ignored Chu Xi's surprise and continued, "I just didn't expect that my best friend would poison me, and even kept saying that he hated my hypocrisy and my falseness. Do you think I am pathetic?"

Shangguan Yun recalled the days she spent with Sikong Shu, which were wonderful. She was born in a medical family, and she was a child of the Shangguan family. The two knew each other since childhood and often played together. Whenever she had something delicious or fun, she would share it with her first.

Sikong Shu inherited the nature of their Sikong family. She liked to study various medical theories and pharmacy since she was young, and she liked to read various books. When the two of them were together, she would study various medicines while she would read quietly. Sometimes they would practice martial arts and sword together, just like a pair of sisters.

The only difference is that Sikong Shu was born to a concubine and was often disliked by her family. She was the eldest daughter of the Shangguan family and had been pampered since she was a child. Every time Sikong Shu was bullied by her family, she would come to the rescue.

She never expected that the sister who usually got along very harmoniously would be so crazy about her. She even put poison in the sweet-scented osmanthus cake she made for herself and watched her eat it with her own eyes.

Shangguan Yun still can't forget her vicious look at that time.

"How could that be? She is the one who is pitiful because she has lost a friend who truly treated her well."

Chu Xi's abrupt words interrupted Shangguan Yun's memories. She was stunned for a moment, and then she felt relieved.

Yes! What's so pathetic about me? At least I have seen through a person's hypocrisy... although the price is a bit high.

Haha...Shangguan Yun found that she didn't see things as clearly as any of her children.

She swept away the previous haze, her eyes instantly became bright, and Shangguan Yun said to Chu Xi sincerely: "Your Highness, thank you..."

"Thank... me?"

Chu Xi didn't understand because she didn't say anything.

"Yes, thank you."

Shangguan Yun smiled. The girl in front of her was smart but didn't realize it. No wonder her son loved and spoiled her so much, because she always had a positive energy that could sweep away the gloom in people's hearts.

He is worthy of being the eldest grandson of the royal family.

The fire outside was still burning fiercely. Sun Yuqiong, who was hiding in the dark, saw Yan Jingshuo guarding in front of the hut. She knew that it was impossible to launch a sneak attack on the hut tonight, so she ordered her men to retreat quickly.

Yan Jingshuo's frown didn't relax until they finished retreating.

At this time Shangguan Yi also arrived with helpers and hurriedly joined the fire-fighting team. The fire was not put out until midnight.

"what happened?"

Looking at the mess in the yard, Shangguan Yi asked Shangguan Qi who was standing beside him.

"It should be someone from Yanyue Palace..."

Shangguan Qi threw away the wooden barrel in his hand tiredly and fell to the ground.

"is her?"

Shangguan Yi's face darkened. He shouldn't have let his younger sister come into contact with such a person. He turned out to be so vicious.

"Are your aunt and the others okay?" Shangguan Yi said as he looked towards the roof of the cottage, only to see Yan Jingshuo standing tall and quietly on the roof with his hands behind his back, looking like a lone man blocking a thousand.

"fine"

Shangguan Qi also looked at the figure, with admiration in his eyes.

"That's good...be careful...after all, His Royal Highness Chang Sun is also in there."

"Yes, I understand." Shangguan Qi nodded solemnly.

At this time, Nangong Yufei was on the roof and sat down opposite Yan Jingshuo.

"What's the matter?"

Yan Jingshuo looked at him coldly, with no emotion in his eyes.

At this time, Nangong Yu had dyed his hair back to silver-white, and returned to his previous wild style. Nangong Yu threw a pot of wine at him, and picked up another pot to drink.

"Give"

"Thanks"

Yan Jingshuo took the wine and took two gulps.

The two of them just stayed quietly on the roof, one stood straight, the night breeze gently blowing the corners of his clothes; the other sat lazily, looking up at the starry sky. No one spoke to break this rare silence.

"Will you stay here?"

Nangong Yu looked at the sky and asked leisurely.

"Wherever she is, I will be there."

Yan Jingshuo answered without hesitation.

"Are you really willing to give up everything you have?"

Nangong Yu then turned to look at him, with a hint of surprise in her peach blossom eyes.

"Why would you be reluctant to give it up? It never belonged to me..."

Yan Jingshuo had never been interested in the throne. He didn't want it before and he wants it even less now. Besides, his father had more than one child, so his third elder brother was more suitable for the position than him.

"Haha...I underestimated you."

Nangong Yu laughed. This guy probably loved Xiao Xixi as much as he did. It took a lot of courage for him to be willing to give up everything to pursue her.

But...if it were him...he would do the same.

Because Xiao Xixi...she deserves it.

"I have never thought of giving up on her, not before and certainly not in the future."

Yan Jingshuo looked into the distance and his voice slowly sounded.
