After my soul traveled to ancient times, I don't want to be cannon fodder

In the princess's mansion.

Zhong Ning held a white jade pendant in front of his eyes and observed it carefully. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that it was just an ordinary jade pendant.

Moreover, the edges are mostly rough, as if they were newly carved.

According to the plot, the pair of jade pendants that Chen Yan obtained were low-level spiritual weapons, at least a hundred years old, but the one in her hand was obviously a new piece of jade.

"We've been fooled. This isn't the jade pendant. It must be a temporary replacement carved by someone at the Duke of Fuguo's Mansion."

Xue Ming was silent for a moment. This was the first time she failed.

Zhong Ning took the jade pendant and saw Xue Ming lowering his head to admit his mistake. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's not your fault. We were late. The Duke of Fuguo's Mansion made arrangements in advance, which is exactly what we thought of."

Xue Ming's eyes moved slightly, and she realized that what the princess said probably meant that she should take an ordinary white jade to exchange for the jade worn by Fu Ying.

However, no one expected that the real jade had already fallen into the hands of the Duke of Fuguo's Mansion.

"I request permission to visit the Duke's Mansion tonight!" Xue Ming bowed with a serious expression.

Zhong Ning casually threw the white jade into the makeup box, and then said calmly:

"No need for that. The Duke of Fuguo's Mansion has quite a few secret guards. You may not be their match. Since I already know about this, I can just wait and see what happens!"

Xue Ming hesitated and took back what she was about to say, and walked out of the room feeling aggrieved.

Zhong Ning's expression was solemn. It was now basically certain that the Duke Fuguo's Mansion did have a plan, but he didn't know how ambitious it was. Next, he would have to see who he was going to exchange the Soul-Exchange Jade for.

Is it the emperor or the prince?

Zhong Ning raised his lips to a sarcastic smile. Once people have the capital to overturn the chess game, they will always rush forward regardless of everything!

.......

East Palace.

At this time, Murong Fu's clothes were disheveled, his eyes were bloodshot, and endless heat and hostility surged from his lower abdomen, making him unable to control his emotions.

This is the aphrodisiac poison coming back.

The extremely strong aphrodisiac poison formed after the blood-love poison was dissolved is a rare disease that even the imperial physicians cannot completely eradicate.

The only way is to use medicine to suppress the symptoms when Murong Fu's illness flares up.

But everyone knows that no matter what kind of disease it is, once it lasts for a long time, the body will gradually develop drug resistance, and the time it can suppress the onset of toxicity will become shorter and shorter.

This is also why the imperial physician suggested to Emperor Yong that the prince could vent his emotions occasionally, which would gradually alleviate the symptoms.

The situation on the Nanzhao front was still at a stalemate, and the imperial court was making preparations for war. At this time, the crown prince could not be suddenly deposed, let alone die unexpectedly.

Because according to Emperor Yong, the land of Nanzhao was filled with miasma, hot and humid, and covered with hills.

Most of the people of Nanzhao live in the mountains and the terrain is scattered, making them difficult to attack. They also have poison in their hands. Even if the Dayong army attacks, I am afraid they will lose 800 people for every 1,000 they can injure.

To declare war on Nanzhao, we need a way to completely eliminate these potential hidden dangers. Otherwise, even if the army enters the country, it will only be slaughtered.

Emperor Yong had already received the letter of peace begging from the King of Nanzhao and personally replied, demanding six border cities as compensation. If not, the Yong army would clear the southern border.

Emperor Yong had no choice but to accept this.

The Dayong army also needed time to find a way to eliminate the poison and drive away the miasma, and also had to deal with the sudden attacks from the Nanzhao people from time to time.

Although these attacks were minor, they still caused great losses to the vanguard troops sent by Dayong.

Now we can only wait until Pingning Hou on the southern border front secretly explores all the terrain of Nanzhao and finds a way to completely conquer Nanzhao.

On the other hand, Emperor Yong sent several palace maids to the Eastern Palace to serve the Crown Prince, so that his toxicity could be alleviated by relieving his desires.

Of course, Emperor Yong just gave the order.

But as for how to select, the chief eunuch Su Qi only informed the harem that those who are interested in serving the prince in the Eastern Palace can sign up voluntarily.

Serving the prince is better than being a slave.

So when this order came out, many palace maids volunteered to step forward.

Su Qi selected the best ones, and for the sake of the prince's health, he did not dare to choose too many at once.

So the first batch of people sent to the Eastern Palace consisted of only eight people.

But who would have known that once Murong Fu captured these palace maids, he would begin to torture and humiliate them endlessly in bed.

Some time ago, he even killed two palace maids.

The other palace maids were also trembling with fear, but because this was the path they had chosen, they did not dare to escape even a step, even if they cried and shouted.

When Fu Ying was carried into the Prince's Eastern Palace with a small bag, this is what she saw:

In the luxurious and magnificent palace, several palace maids knelt on the ground and trembled.

In front of them was a young man in gorgeous clothes, holding a little palace maid in his arms.

The little palace maid's eyes were blurred at this moment, and she cried out loudly: "Your Highness, please forgive me..."

The huge palace was filled with the smell of decadent spring love. This scene stimulated Fu Ying so much that her eyes turned red and her whole body was trembling.

This, this is her cousin the prince?

When she was imprisoned in the Music Bureau and nearly raped, he already had a new lover to accompany him in the Eastern Palace; when she was hoping day and night that her cousin, the crown prince, could save her from the dire situation, he was secretly having fun with the new lover every day.

When Fu Ying realized this cruel truth, she felt like she was struck by lightning. Tears flowed out involuntarily, and soon her clothes were wet with tears.

She just stood there, looking at her beloved man, who was holding another woman in his arms and didn't notice her arrival at all.

The palace maid who was pinned to the ground and begging for mercy finally noticed the beautiful figure standing not far away while screaming through her tearful eyes.

As if she had been granted amnesty, she pushed the man on her body, bit her lip and said cautiously: "Your Highness, someone is coming..."

Murong Fu turned his head impatiently, and the moment he saw Fu Ying, he involuntarily got up from the little palace maid.

He stood up with an unnatural look on his face, patted his robe, and then shouted at a group of young palace maids: "Get out of here..."

The young palace maids left sadly.

Murong Fu then turned around as if nothing had happened and walked towards Fu Ying.

Murong Fu's face still had a blush from the love affair. Looking at Fu Ying's tearful, sad and resentful face, he finally sighed and took her into his arms.

Fu Ying cried even harder at this time.

While crying, she beat Murong Fu's back with her little fists, which made Murong Fu even more heartbroken.

But before he could pull the beauty over to share his heart and ask her how she was doing recently, the aphrodisiac poison in his body that he had not completely suppressed came back to him.

The softness in his arms stimulated him so much that he lost all his rationality.
