The people who were originally drinking and chatting heard the noise and looked over at them curiously.

"What was that noise just now? Who dropped the wine glass?"

"I don't know. Could it be that Princess Qinghe doesn't like the Princess of Nanzhao, and the two of them are going to fight?"

"The Princess of Nanzhao is, after all, a guest who has come from afar. Princess Qinghe shouldn't be so disrespectful as to throw a tantrum in such an occasion."

At this moment, Lan Zheng's eyes were fixed on the blood-red fragments at Chu Xinyue's feet, and a faint light of excitement was reflected in her eyes.

Become!

The puppet Gu seed was successful!

However, Lan Zheng did not notice that just when she snatched Chu Xinyue's blood amber and threw it out, Chu Xinyue almost at the same time accurately threw the blood amber in her hand at her feet.

Chu Xinyue has a high fighting power, and her advantage is reflected at this time.

When she threw the blood amber out, she also used the wind from her palm to push it heavily to the ground.

Therefore, the blood amber under Lan Zheng's feet shattered more completely.

The poisonous insect sealed in the blood amber twisted its small body and crawled towards the nearest host the moment it was freed.

After smashing the blood amber, Lan Zheng focused all her attention on Chu Xinyue.

She stared at Chu Xinyue without blinking, afraid of missing any details of her being parasitized by the insect.

Chu Xinyue glanced towards her feet and only had time to see a small black dot flash under her skirt.

The poisonous insects moved too fast, and the palace lanterns were some distance away from them, so Chu Xinyue couldn't see clearly.

However, seeing the small black dot flash by was enough.

Sure enough, the next moment, Lan Zheng twisted her neck stiffly to the left and right twice, her movements strange and a bit baffling.

However, she herself did not realize it.

After a moment of trance, she looked at the blood amber fragments at Chu Xinyue's feet and covered her mouth with an apologetic look. "Princess Qinghe, I must have drunk too much and lost my balance, so I broke your pendant. How about this, tell me how much your pendant is worth, and I'll pay you tenfold!"

Chu Xinyue smiled back at her and said, "No need. It's just a pendant, not worth much. If it's broken, then it's broken."

Lan Zheng insisted, "Oh no! That won't do! I'll definitely compensate you with a better one later!"

Seeing her hypocritical expression, Chu Xinyue resisted the urge to slap her. "This pendant was given to me by my prince on our wedding day. It means a lot to me. What kind of pendant do you think would be a better compensation, Fourth Princess?"

If Ali hadn't discovered that there was something wrong with the blood amber pendant she was wearing, she would have been the one to be infected by the puppet poison tonight.

Lan Zheng, who poisoned her with the poisonous insect, has a very strong mental quality. She has the nerve to pretend to be generous and gentle even after harming others.

Chu Xinyue didn't tolerate her and directly retorted.

As expected, Lan Zheng was stunned by her words. After a long pause, she took off the jade pendant carved from red agate from her waist and said, "This is our most precious red agate in Nanzhao. I'll give it to you as compensation. Is this enough?"

Of course Chu Xinyue wouldn't want her things. Who knows if there are more terrifying poisonous insects sealed in her agate?

"Don't worry, Fourth Princess. This princess was just joking with you. This piece of blood amber is just a worthless little thing. If it breaks, it breaks. In Jiuzhou, there's a saying that goes, 'break it, but peace comes.' So maybe breaking a blood amber isn't such a bad thing."

"Princess, I'll toast you again and apologize."

Chu Xinyue drank the wine cheerfully. "Okay, I accept your apology. We are even now."

Lan Zheng wanted to harm her and plant a Gu on her, so she also planted the Gu on Lan Zheng.

The apologies were made and the wine was finished, so they no longer owed each other anything.

Lan Zheng also raised the wine glass to her lips and drank it all in one gulp.

When she returned to her seat, Lan Luo turned his head and stared at her face, questioning her in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Fourth sister, did you cast a spell on Princess Qinghe just now?"

Lan Zheng's eyes flickered, and she flatly denied it, "What are you talking about? Why would I use Gu on Princess Qinghe?"

Lan Luo glanced in Chu Xinyue's direction again and whispered, "You'd better not. Before leaving Nanzhao, our father repeatedly warned us not to use Gu worms lightly. You must not do anything stupid!"

"Seventh sister, I know that if the Gu worm is not properly controlled, it will backfire on the master. So, I am not that stupid and will not risk my life."

There are many tricks to using poisonous insects. They are not professional poison masters and cannot control multiple poisonous insects at the same time.

They have to find an opportunity to complete the task their father assigned to them. The secret weapon, the insect, cannot be wasted on unimportant people.

"I'm glad you know." After Lan Luo gave the reminder, he lowered his head and concentrated on eating.

Lan Zheng looked at her domineering look and hated her so much.

Lan Luo is obviously the younger sister, but she never takes her, her older sister, seriously.

Isn't she just relying on the fact that her father likes her more?

What's so great about it?

When she helps Murong Ye ascend the throne, Murong Ye will make her the queen. At that time, she will definitely trample Lan Luo under her feet!

On the other side, Chu Xinyue walked up to Xue Youli and said, "Ali, I'll toast you too."

While toasting, she leaned close to Xue Youli's ear and whispered, "I did as you said and dropped the blood amber at Lan Zheng's feet. However, there were so many people at the banquet making so much noise, and the sounds of the real and fake blood amber breaking almost overlapped, so she didn't notice anything unusual."

Xue Youli was in a good mood and clinked his glass with hers, "Well done."

Chu Xinyue glanced at her and asked, "Is there anything else I need to do next?"

Xue Youli shook his index finger at her and said, "No, let's wait and see."

"Good Le!"

……

After the dinner, Xue Youli stayed in the palace overnight.

Just as she finished washing up, there was a knock on the door: two light knocks and one heavy knock.

She immediately recognized who was coming and said, "Come in."

When the door opened, she saw Chu Xinyue walking towards her bed with a pillow in her arms, "Ali, I want to sleep with you tonight!"

After saying that, he climbed onto the bed and crawled into Xue Youli's quilt.

Xue Youli raised an eyebrow at her, "Why, did your King Kang make you angry again?"

"Don't mention that idiot. Every time I hear him mention Murong Ye, I get mad. Even if someone like him is sold out by Murong Ye in the future, he will have to help Murong Ye count the money."

"Hey! You can't blame Murong Nan for this. Who told you to write a novel, setting up Murong Ye as someone who saved Murong Nan's life, and making Murong Nan Murong Ye's little henchman? Isn't he just following the character you gave him?"

"Ali, after hearing what you said, I realized that in the entire novel world, it seems that only Murong Nan, the idiot, has his character intact!"

"Yeah, even though he's silly, he's very reassuring!"

Chu Xinyue thought about how comfortable he had been serving her last night, and her expression softened a bit. "That's right, one should be content with what one has. Aside from being silly, Murong Nan is pretty good in other aspects."

Xue Youli winked at her, "Oh? What other aspects do you mean?"

Seeing her teasing her, Chu Xinyue smacked her lips gleefully. "I know you've only had soup and haven't eaten meat yet, so I'll just say a few words. It's really great to have a younger brother! That physical strength and energy..."

Xue Youli looked at her hugging the quilt like crazy and slapped her on the butt. "Don't be so frivolous! Is it a big deal to eat meat?"

"Oh my! Even though you don't want to hear it, I have to tell you that my little brother is amazing...Ah! You actually tickled me! Look at my Nine Yin Bone Claw!"

“Ahahahaha…hahahaha…”

Xue Youli is ticklish and rolls around on the bed.

After Chu Xinyue stopped, she knelt on the quilt and asked her, "Are you admitting defeat?"

Xue Youli rolled his eyes and threw himself on her. "The king's woman never admits defeat! Look at how powerful I am!"

As a result, Chu Xinyue pinned her down with one hand, "Who's better, huh?"

Xue Youli immediately admitted defeat, "Ayue, you're awesome! You're the best! I surrender, let's stop fighting and go to sleep!"

"That's pretty much it."

Chu Xinyue hugged her, feeling her soft waist, and couldn't help muttering, "She's so soft in my arms, Murong Che is really lucky!"
