A genius girl with her own space

Chapter 383 It’s your own fault

Hu Boyuan flung his hand, trapping the man. By the time he realized what was happening, it was too late. He saw the princess being captured, her face covered in scratches, and he realized everything they had done was exposed. He didn't panic, believing his poison would kill the man. He didn't know where his confidence came from.

"Who are you and what do you want to do by capturing the princess?" He then threw a handful of poison at them. The poison blew onto his body before it even touched them. He was shocked and took out the antidote and swallowed it. He couldn't move, and he felt very sad when he saw the princess scratching his body and face. Because the princess was his daughter, and the princess's mother was his cousin. They were childhood sweethearts, and the old emperor abducted her and forced his cousin to become his concubine. He hated the emperor, so he sent someone to the palace to protect his cousin. He was highly valued by the old emperor because he could make poison, and he often met with his cousin secretly. This gave birth to this daughter. The princess's mother often persuaded him to leave the palace and take his daughter away and hide his identity. In this way, he also had a descendant.

He couldn't bear to leave his cousin, and he would not regret it even if it was exposed one day.

"If you give the princess the antidote, I will give you the old emperor's antidote. If you don't, I will destroy it."

Hu Boyuan wasn't going to let him off. He snatched the antidote and bound him with his spiritual power, leaving him unable to move. The man who had poisoned the princess knew he had no chance of saving her, and tears streamed down his face. Xie Lei approached and snatched the medicine from his arms and the ring from his finger. He also searched his entire body. Seeing nothing, he took the medicine and walked over to Qiqi, asking her to see if she had the antidote.

Qiqi stuffed a few itching pills into the man's mouth. She still had something to ask him. "What poison did you give the old emperor? Which is the antidote?"

The man suddenly felt itchy all over his body. He had an antidote, but they had all been taken away by the men. He endured it, but his daughter couldn't stand it.

"Give the princess the antidote first, and I'll tell you what poison she used."

Qiqi was also very straightforward. She took out the antidote and stuffed it into the princess' mouth. The man saw that the princess's itch was gone. He told her everything. If she didn't tell him what he knew, they would not be able to get along well.

"We did go to Yongning. It was the old emperor who asked us to go. He wanted the princess to marry far away, but her mother didn't want to. However, the old emperor's words were final, and no one could change his mind. He also asked me to follow the princess and told me to do everything I could to poison the emperor or the crown prince of Yongning. If either of them were killed, the Western Regions would send troops to attack Yongning, and we could seize their iron ore and merge their country into our Western Regions, making the Western Regions increasingly powerful.

The old emperor also asked us to draw a map of the Yongning Kingdom's palace and told me to poison the people's wells. I didn't listen to him and only poisoned the old emperor. I couldn't bear to kill the people. We are all ordinary people, my parents, my relatives and friends are all ordinary people. The disaster should not affect my family, so I didn't listen to him.

We stayed in Yongning for three months, and finally found our opportunity. I poisoned the brocade. If the old emperor hadn't touched it, he wouldn't have been poisoned. This is all his own fault. Who made him take a fancy to our Western Region brocade and like our country's things? If I didn't poison him, who else would I poison? Although I couldn't bear it, if we failed to complete our mission, the old emperor would not forgive the princess or us when we returned. After poisoning, we said goodbye and returned.

"What kind of poison did you give the old emperor after all this talk?" Xie Lei said angrily.

"I used the Eight-Combination Poison, which I developed myself. It's made up of eight poisonous substances."

"Where's your poison? Let me see it." Xie Lei asked.

"You have it in your hand! That's the blue bottle."

Xie Lei took it out and gave it to the princess. "Don't give it to the princess, I told you so." He said it, and it was over. The princess had swallowed the poison. The princess's lips turned black in an instant.

The man who poisoned his daughter didn't expect Xie Lei to poison his own daughter. "That's the antidote. Give it to the princess quickly. She will die." The man who poisoned his daughter burst into tears.

Qiqi stepped forward and felt the princess's pulse. It was the same poison her father had contracted. She gave her one of her own antidote pills to slow the poison's progression. She wanted to let her experience the torment of the poison for a bit. This was their own fault.

"The red bottle contains the antidote, you must give it to the princess quickly. Come on, I beg you, I will never make poison again, I am guilty, I will hurt myself in the end when I hurt others." The man who poisoned the princess began to cry.

"Tell me about the crimes of your old emperor in the Western Regions, and I will give the princess the antidote," Qiqi said.

"The old emperor saw that I could make poison, so he recruited me into the palace. He would poison anyone who disobeyed him, even their family members. All the court officials had been poisoned, and every month the old emperor would ask me to give them antidotes to control them.

I also thought about escaping, but what about these court officials? This is my fault, and I must save them. The antidote I gave them now is completely effective in curing their poison, but they still come to me every month asking for it. Those antidotes are nutritional supplements. They have all been cured. I dare not tell them, for fear that the old emperor will have me killed.

He also didn't spare his children, fearing they might seize power from him. He left only his daughters in the palace, and his sons were all poisoned and exiled to the frontier. I secretly gave them an antidote, but they refused to believe me and sent for the antidote every month.

I don't know what kind of cultivation technique the old emperor has mastered, but he frequently drinks human blood. I saw guards secretly transporting corpses. I've been observing for days, and now maids are entering the palace daily. I'm also on guard. One day, the old emperor got upset and drank my blood, too.

I drank poison in front of the old emperor and said I was testing it. Then the old emperor didn't dare to drink my blood. I was useful to him now, so he didn't dare to take my life.

It's difficult for me to poison him. He won't let me get close to him. He's very powerful. I don't dare run away now. Running away will implicate innocent people. I have to be ruthless to save my life and protect my cousin and the princess.

Qiqi cured the princess of the poison and destroyed her cultivation, turning her into a mortal. "You've done so many evil things, and I didn't take your life. From now on, you'll be on your own!"

"Thank you for sparing the princess' life," the man said. As long as his daughter was alive, it was enough for him. He would protect her.

"I will take you to find the old emperor, and I will give up my cultivation, guard the princess, and ask the fairy to help me." The man prayed.
