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

As soon as Chu Zixi stepped into the gate of the palace, she saw the old butler coming towards her with a smile on his face.

"Princess, you're back! The princess is here and said she wants to see you for something important. She has been waiting in the front hall for a long time." The butler said respectfully.

Chu Zixi paused for a moment when she heard this, and a trace of doubt rose in her heart. She sorted out her thoughts and quickly realized, "Oh? Xiao Yan'er is here? I wonder why she is here this time?"

The butler shook his head gently, "Princess, the princess did not make it clear."

Chu Zixi frowned slightly, a hint of thought flashed in her eyes, but she decided to meet this uninvited guest first. So she walked towards the front hall.

When Chu Zixi walked into the front hall, she immediately saw Xiao Yan'er standing there anxiously waiting.

Xiao Yan'er was seen wearing a pink silk dress, with a graceful figure and pretty face, but at this moment her delicate face was full of grievance and expectation.

As soon as she saw Chu Zixi coming in, Xiao Yan'er immediately ran forward like a happy little bird and called out in a tender voice, "Little aunt, you're finally back!"

Chu Zixi smiled slightly, nodded gently, then walked to a chair and sat down. She looked at Xiao Yan'er calmly and asked softly, "Xiao Yan'er, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Hearing Chu Zixi's question, Xiao Yan'er's eyes instantly became moist. She looked at Chu Zixi pitifully, tears rolling in her eyes, as if they would roll down at any time, "Little aunt, the crown prince...he has been ignoring me recently. I don't know what to do. Please help me!"

After hearing this, Chu Zixi couldn't help but reach out to scratch her ears, with an expression of disbelief on her face. She even began to doubt if she had heard something wrong.

She and Xiao Yan'er had almost no contact on weekdays, but Xiao Yan'er actually came to her on her own initiative because of the prince's matter. Are they so close? Why do you think she will help her?

Xiao Yan'er was standing there anxiously with tears in her eyes. Her lips trembled slightly, and she replied in a crying voice, "Prince brother is totally ignoring me now. I don't know what to do, so I can only ask you for help." After that, the tears began to swirl in her eyes like bursting dam, and were about to roll down.

Xiao Yan'er sobbed and continued to plead, "Brother Crown Prince always listens to his uncle the most. If you can ask him to say a few good words for me in front of the Crown Prince, maybe he will change his mind and pay attention to me. Please help me!"

Chu Zixi looked at Xiao Yan'er, who was crying bitterly, and shook her head gently. She sighed softly, "Xiao Yan'er, as the saying goes, a forced melon is not sweet. In my opinion, you should give up on this matter and stop being stubborn."

How could Xiao Yan'er listen to such advice? When she heard the word "give up", her tears instantly burst out like a flood, flowing down like a string of pearls that had broken off the string, dripping onto her clothes, quickly spreading out and forming small splashes of water.

"No, little aunt, I have always deeply loved the Crown Prince since I was very young. How can I let go of this feeling so easily? No matter what, I will never let it go like this!" Xiao Yan'er cried and shouted, seeming extremely excited.

Seeing this, Chu Zixi slowly said, "Xiao Yan'er, actually, you two are cousins. According to common sense, close relatives marrying is very bad for the health of offspring. So no matter how much you like the prince, you should consider these realistic factors. Besides, if the prince doesn't like you, why do you force it?"

Xiao Yan'er frowned upon hearing this, with a hint of unwillingness in her eyes: "Little Royal Aunt, if you don't want to help, just say so. Why do you have to say that? From ancient times to the present, how many cousins ​​have been together, and they are all fine? Why do you say that if I am with my brother, the Crown Prince, it will be bad for future generations?"

Chu Zixi's delicate eyebrows raised slightly, and a hint of coldness flashed in her beautiful eyes. She stared at Xiao Yan'er in front of her and said slowly: "Xiao Yan'er, don't you know? The risks brought by inbreeding are extremely huge. Many children have died since birth, or are born with weak constitutions, and all of this is due to the genetic problems caused by inbreeding!"

When Xiao Yan'er heard this, a hint of surprise flashed across her beautiful face, but she soon pretended to be calm again, stubbornly raised her tearful face, looked directly at Chu Zixi and said, "Little aunt, what you said is nothing more than an excuse to shirk responsibility."

Seeing this, Chu Zixi couldn't help but sneer, and said with a half-smile: "Haha! Think whatever you want. Besides, our relationship doesn't seem to be good enough for me to help you."

When Xiao Yan'er heard this, her crystal tears slid down her fair cheeks again like pearls that had broken off the string. She bit her lip and begged in a sobbing voice, "Little aunt, this matter is just a matter of words for you. Are you really so cruel that you won't even say a word to help?"

"Xiao Yan'er, I think you should know how your mother and Princess Shun treated me before? Why do you think I will help you?" If she doesn't listen to kind words, then I can only say something unpleasant. Their relationship was not that good to begin with.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Xiao Yan'er's face turned ugly and she stopped crying.

Beside her, the tea that the maid had just poured for her was steaming and giving off a faint fragrance. Chu Zixi picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said nothing.

After a long time, time seemed to freeze at this moment. Xiao Yan'er finally took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to speak again: "Little Imperial Aunt, I beg you to have mercy on me. Please forgive my mother! Please persuade Little Imperial Uncle not to keep my mother under house arrest, okay?" After saying that, she looked at Chu Zixi expectantly with her big watery eyes.

When Chu Zixi heard this, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a meaningful and slightly playful smile.

She slowly put down the exquisite teacup in her hand, then raised her head and stared straight at Xiao Yan'er with her eyes like torches.

After staring at each other for a while, she gently opened her cherry-like red lips and said softly, "Xiao Yan'er, do you have any misunderstanding about me?"

When Xiao Yan'er heard this, she was stunned. A look of confusion and puzzlement appeared on her face. Her beautiful eyes stared straight at Chu Zixi, as if trying to find the answer from her expression or words.
