Poisonous Pet World: The War King's Heart-stealing Medical Concubine

Snowflakes fell slowly from the boundless gray sky like catkins. They were as light as feathers, but firmly fell to the earth, as if to cover the whole world with a layer of white dress.

On the streets, the snow had piled up deeply, and every step made a crisp sound, like a winter symphony, echoing in the empty and silent air.

Jun Feimo and Chu Zixi returned to the palace. Jun Feimo sent Chu Zixi back to Zhaoyang Palace, then turned and left, heading straight for the imperial study.

In the imperial study, when Jun Feimo revealed the conspiracy of the imperial master one by one, Chu Tianlong's face instantly turned livid. It turned out that the rumors and slanders circulating in the imperial city were all planned by the imperial master.

Not only did he attempt to use these means to disturb the people, he also attempted to overthrow the imperial power and replace it.

"Bastard!" Chu Tianlong was furious, veins popped on his forehead, and he slammed his hand heavily on the desk.

The entire imperial study seemed to be shrouded in this anger, and the air became heavy.

Chu Tianlong's eyes were filled with anger, staring straight ahead, as if he wanted to see the hateful national teacher through the wall. He had never thought that the national teacher, whom he had always regarded as his confidant, would have such a rebellious ambition.

"Someone come here!" Chu Tianlong's voice was like thunder, echoing in the empty imperial study, with unquestionable majesty and domineering.

His eyes swept around, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth: "Immediately send people to search the Imperial Master's residence. Also, immediately post an imperial edict to announce to the world that the Imperial Master is plotting a rebellion and spreading rumors to slander Princess Zhaoyang. Let the people see the true face of this evil man!"

As Chu Tianlong's order was issued, the entire imperial city seemed to be alarmed.

The Royal Guards acted quickly. Wearing heavy armor and stepping on the snow, they marched in neat steps towards the Imperial Master's Mansion.

The wind was freezing, but their momentum remained undiminished, like sharp arrows piercing the enemy's heart.

At the same time, the words on the imperial edict were like a raging fire in winter, quickly igniting the fire of discussion among the people.

People gathered in the streets and alleys, passing the imperial edict around, expressing shock and anger at the actions of the imperial teacher.

They originally thought that the national teacher was a loyal and trustworthy person, but they did not expect that he had ulterior motives and attempted to overthrow the rule of the Chu State.

"You can never judge a person by his appearance! The Imperial Master looks so kind on weekdays, who would have thought that he has such evil ambitions?" An old man sighed, shaking his head.

"That's right, we have always regarded him as a pillar of the Chu State! Now it seems that he is nothing but a hypocrite." Another young man echoed.

Everyone was talking about it and was deeply indignant at the crimes of the national teacher.

They felt they had been deceived and were filled with disappointment and anger towards this once highly respected figure.

As for Princess Zhaoyang, everyone showed sympathy and support. Now that she had suffered such slander, the people naturally stood on her side.

"The Imperial Master has really reaped the consequences this time." Someone said worriedly.

For a time, the imperial teacher became the target of public criticism and was despised by everyone; while Princess Zhaoyang won more respect and support.

Although the storm subsided temporarily, the impact it had on the State of Chu was far-reaching.

Inside the Zhaoyang Palace, the fire was burning brightly, and the warm yellow light was swaying gently, forming a sharp contrast with the heavy snow falling outside the window.

crunch...

Xiao Cui and Xiao Lu pushed open the door of the palace with the sound of light steps on the snow. The tea and snacks in their hands gave off wisps of hot steam, which mixed with the warmth in the room and filled the whole room with a cozy atmosphere.

Chu Zixi was wearing a gorgeous brocade dress and was sitting leisurely on the couch, her fingers gently twisting her hair, her eyes lazy and charming.

At this moment, she was concentrating on tasting a piece of exquisite pastry. The pastry seemed to be made of fine flour and sweet filling, exuding an enticing aroma.

She took a bite, and the tiny crumbs of pastry slowly fell with her movements, like snowflakes that fell carelessly in winter. These tiny crumbs floated in the air, giving people a peaceful and beautiful feeling.

At this moment, Xiao Cui suddenly spoke up, "Princess, just now I was in the corridor and overheard the palace maids and eunuchs talking privately, saying that the Imperial Master has been acting strangely recently and has the intention of rebellion. The Emperor has already ordered the Imperial Guards to go and search his house. There are also people from the Imperial Master's Mansion spreading rumors and slandering your reputation. The Emperor has already ordered an imperial edict to be posted to clear your name."

Chu Zixi paused slightly and stopped chewing the pastry in her hand.

"Oh?" she asked softly, with a hint of doubt in her tone.

Yu San explained, "Master, the Emperor Chu wants to restore your reputation immediately, so the news spread quickly." His eyes revealed his understanding and trust in the Emperor Chu.

Chu Zixi nodded slightly, understanding the reason.

The next morning, Chu Zixi got up early. She wore a gorgeous palace dress and went to the royal ancestral temple after dressing up carefully. There, she would undergo an important ceremony - looking at the emperor's family tree and kneeling down to pay homage to her ancestors.

Chu Zixi returned to Zhaoyang Palace after a tiring day. She leaned lazily on the couch, playing with a warm jade pendant, as if she could feel the accumulation of years and warmth from it.

At this time, a palace maid hurried in and respectfully reported to her: "Princess, the clothing and decoration officials from the Shangfu Bureau want to see you."

Chu Zixi raised her eyes slightly, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said lazily: "Oh? Let them in."

Soon, the clothing and decoration managers from the Shangfu Bureau entered the palace with light steps and wearing heavy winter clothes.

The two looked dignified, performed the ceremony properly, and shouted in unison: "Greetings to Princess Zhaoyang!"

Chu Zixi gently waved her hand and said with a smile: "No need to be polite, get up."

Si Yi took a few steps forward, holding a delicate blueprint tightly in her hand. She carefully handed the paper to Chu Zixi and said respectfully, "Princess, this is a wedding dress drawing carefully customized by the Fashion Bureau. Please take a look and see if you are satisfied. Is there anything that needs to be modified?"

Chu Zixi took the drawing and looked at it. On the picture, a gorgeous wedding dress jumped out of the paper. The phoenix embroidered with gold and silver threads spread its wings and was about to fly. It looked lifelike, as if it would break through the paper and soar into the sky at any time. Every detail was handled with extreme precision, which made people marvel.

She looked at it carefully, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Well, not bad, the style is novel and elegant, it suits my taste very well, no need to modify it."

The jewelry manager also stepped forward, bowed, and presented another drawing: "Princess, this is a jewelry pattern carefully designed for your wedding. Each piece represents good luck and happiness. Please appreciate it. Do you like it?"

Chu Zixi's attention was attracted again. She gently unfolded the drawing and saw that each piece of jewelry drawn on it was exquisite, with dazzling gems, which complemented the wedding dress. It was as if she could foresee how gorgeous she would be when she wore them.

She smiled, "Nice style!"

"Thank you for the praise, Princess. The Clothing Bureau and others will, in accordance with His Majesty's orders, sew wedding clothes for the princess as soon as possible, and our Decoration Bureau will work overtime to make these jewelry for the princess and ensure that she will be satisfied." said the female official of the Decoration Bureau.

"Okay, thank you all for your hard work." Chu Zixi nodded slightly to show her approval.

"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty. We will take our leave now." The two said in unison.

"Well, you guys can leave!" Chu Zixi waved her hand, signaling them to leave.

"Yes" and then they all left the room.
