The Legend of the Princess' Counterattack

In an exquisite pavilion in the palace, Liu Yan'er was sitting on a carved sandalwood chair, tapping the armrests with her fingers, her eyes full of jealousy and resentment. The maids around her stood cautiously, not daring to make any noise, because they all knew that their mistress was in a very bad mood.

Liu Yan'er recalled the discussions she had heard from the servants recently. Yun Yao seemed to have made considerable progress in her cultivation. The unfavored princess who was like an ant in the palace and could be trampled under her feet at will was now like a rising star. This made the jealousy in Liu Yan'er's heart grow like wild weeds. She could not tolerate Yun Yao surpassing herself like this. She wanted to let Yun Yao know who was the truly favored person in this palace.

She narrowed her eyes and began to plan a sinister plan in her mind. Liu Yan'er knew very well how important cultivation was to Yun Yao now. If she could embarrass her during her cultivation, or even destroy her cultivation, then Yun Yao would never be able to turn things around. So, she thought of an extremely poisonous drug.

She got this medicine by chance from a sorcerer. The sorcerer was a man with bad intentions and made many harmful things. Liu Yan'er thought that this medicine might be useful in the future, so she kept it quietly. Unexpectedly, it really came in handy today. This medicine is colorless and tasteless. Once the user starts practicing, it will disrupt the flow of spiritual energy in the body, causing the spiritual energy to run rampant in the meridians, and eventually lead to obsession. The lighter ones will suffer damage to their cultivation, and the heavier ones may break their meridians and become disabled.

Liu Yan'er called her trusted maid Xiao Tao over. She handed her a delicate little porcelain bottle and said in a low voice, "Xiao Tao, take this bottle and find a chance to pour the powder into the food that bitch Yun Yao eats every day. Remember, you must do it secretly and don't let anyone find out."

Xiao Tao took the porcelain bottle, with a hint of hesitation on her face. She said with some fear: "Miss, is this too much? If the prince knew about this..."

Liu Yan'er glared at Xiao Tao and scolded her, "What do you know! Although the prince doesn't pay much attention to her now, if she continues to practice like this, sooner or later she will snatch the prince's favor from me. If you don't dare to go, I will find someone else to do it, and then you can forget about staying by my side!"

Xiao Tao was so scared that she quickly lowered her head and said, "Miss, calm down. Xiao Tao will do it right away."

Xiao Tao took the porcelain bottle and walked carefully towards the courtyard where Yun Yao lived. She looked around all the way, afraid of being discovered. When she arrived near the courtyard, she hid behind a big tree and observed the movements in the courtyard.

At this time, Yun Yao was practicing in the courtyard, and Xiao Cui was sorting out some sundries. Xiao Tao saw Xiao Cui enter the kitchen and was delighted, thinking this was a great opportunity. She quietly approached the kitchen and looked inside through the gap in the window.

Xiao Cui was busy preparing the meal, and she was completely unaware of the approaching danger. Xiao Tao took advantage of the moment when Xiao Cui turned around to get the seasoning, and quickly slipped into the kitchen and poured the powder in the porcelain bottle into the cooking soup. As soon as the powder entered the soup, it dissolved instantly, leaving no trace. After Xiao Tao finished all this, she quietly retreated.

After returning to the pavilion, Xiao Tao reported to Liu Yan'er. Liu Yan'er nodded with satisfaction, a sinister smile on her lips. She seemed to have seen Yun Yao's painful struggle during training, and her heart was filled with twisted pleasure.

Yun Yao knew nothing about this, she was still concentrating on her cultivation. She felt that her recent cultivation progress was very smooth and she was full of expectations for the future. She didn't know that a conspiracy had already quietly enveloped her like an invisible net.

In the next few days, Liu Yan'er kept a close eye on Yun Yao's movements. Every day, she would send someone to inquire whether Yun Yao had any unusual behavior.

Yun Yao continued to practice at her own pace. She did not notice anything unusual in the food. However, she always felt that the atmosphere around her was a little depressing, as if something bad was about to happen. This feeling made her more alert when practicing.

Finally, one night, Yun Yao decided to practice deeply. She felt that her realm had reached a bottleneck and needed to break through. She set up a simple protective formation in the courtyard and began to circulate the spiritual energy in her body.

As she practiced more, Yun Yao gradually felt something was wrong. The spiritual energy in her body began to run wildly and uncontrollably, and her meridians, which had been smooth, felt as if they were being pierced by countless needles. She was startled and immediately realized that she might have been poisoned or framed.

She wanted to stop practicing, but the spiritual energy was out of control at this time. She could only endure the severe pain and try to suppress the running spiritual energy with her willpower. Her forehead was covered with sweat and her body began to tremble violently.

Xiao Cui heard the noise coming from Yun Yao's room and rushed in. She was frightened when she saw Yun Yao's painful look and asked quickly, "Miss, what happened to you?"

Yun Yao gritted her teeth and said, "I... I might have been plotted against. Xiao Cui, please help me find some herbs that can calm my meridians."

Xiao Cui nodded hurriedly and turned to run out. She searched everywhere in the palace's medicine garden for the herbs she needed, but it was dark in the medicine garden at night, making it very difficult to find them.

Just when Yun Yao felt that she was about to collapse, she suddenly remembered the system. She called out to the system in her heart, hoping that the system could help her.

The system's voice sounded in her mind: "Host, you have been given a drug that disrupts the flow of spiritual energy. You need to use strong willpower to guide the spiritual energy back on track. At the same time, I can provide you with a temporary shield to temporarily relieve some of the pain."

After hearing what the system master said, Yun Yao felt a glimmer of hope in her heart. She gritted her teeth tightly, concentrated all her willpower, and began to guide the chaotic spiritual energy. With the help of the shield provided by the system master, she gradually felt that the riot of spiritual energy had weakened.

After a lot of hard work, Yun Yao finally succeeded in controlling the spiritual energy in her body. She breathed a sigh of relief, and her whole body was soaked as if she had been fished out of the water.

Xiao Cui finally found some herbs, and she quickly boiled them into a medicinal soup for Yun Yao to drink. After Yun Yao drank the soup, she felt better. She sat on the bed, her eyes full of anger. She knew that someone must have deliberately wanted to harm her, and she knew without a doubt that this person was Liu Yan'er.

"Liu Yan'er, you are so cruel and want to harm me. I will never let you go so easily." Yun Yao swore secretly in her heart.

From that day on, Yun Yao became more cautious. She knew that in this palace, the enemy could attack again at any time. While she continued to practice, she began to investigate who was behind her.

During the investigation, Yun Yao found some clues. She found some strange footprints near the kitchen, and these footprints looked like women's footprints. She followed the direction of the footprints and found that the footprints finally disappeared near the pavilion where Liu Yan'er lived.

This made Yun Yao more certain of her thoughts, that Liu Yan'er wanted to harm her. She decided to make Liu Yan'er pay the price for what she had done.
