Pei Yanxiu looked at Mu Xinyao's expression, and a slight curve appeared at the corner of his lips.

Ah.

Compared to killing someone, destroying their heart is more deadly.

He loosened the grip a lot and took the opportunity to drive her crazy.

Mu Xinyao's expression changed drastically. Her fingertips dug into the flesh, yet she didn't feel a single bit of pain. She glared at Pei Yanxiu and yelled:

"Pei Yanxiu, you're lying to me, aren't you? How could Pei Junheng voluntarily give up the throne? I don't believe it!"

She shook her head suddenly, her hair hanging down in a mess, looking a little disheveled.

Pei Yanxiu didn't feel relieved, his dark pupils were filled with coldness and he sneered:

"Since you don't believe me, then I will spare your life for now. Let you witness my ascension to the throne with your own eyes. I will then sentence you to death. How about that?"

Mu Xinyao's heart sank to the bottom, and she collapsed like a flood. Tears welled up in her eyes and she sobbed, "No... I don't believe it... How could Pei Junheng give up the throne..."

However, the next moment, a voice as cold as the wind came -

"What he said is true. I will indeed pass the throne to him!"

Mu Xinyao froze and looked up.

The moment she saw Pei Junheng, she felt like she was on the verge of despair, and the blood in her body instantly solidified into gel.

Pei Junheng strode over with a cold look on his face. He stretched out his arm and pulled Yu Huan out of Pei Yanxiu's arms.

Immediately he picked her up sideways.

Pei Yanxiu lowered his eyes and glanced at his empty arms, which still held her warmth and fragrance.

Pei Junheng glanced at Pei Yanxiu, his tone cold and forceful, "Whether Yu Huan recovers her memory or not, she will always be mine!"

"Then wait until she recovers her memory, and then tell her this sentence exactly as it is." Pei Yanxiu's voice was dull.

Mu Xinyao had just recovered from her shock and looked at Pei Junheng with questioning eyes:

"Why did you pass the throne to Pei Yanxiu? Why exactly? Are you going to give up the throne for Yu Huan? You two brothers actually made the same mistake and fell into the hands of the same woman?"

In response to her question, Pei Junheng frowned and said in a stern voice, "When did it become your turn to interfere in my affairs?"

He was filled with the innate majesty of a king, and his sinister eyes made Mu Xinyao shudder.

Moreover, his aura is different from Pei Yanxiu's.

When Pei Yanxiu gets angry, people stay away from him, but Pei Junheng can frighten her with just a look.

Mu Xinyao suppressed the fear in her heart and said boldly:

"If you don't give the throne to Pei Yanxiu, I will not let Yu Huan forget you, but the prerequisite is that you must let me become the Imperial Consort."

Since she couldn't become the queen, she took a step back and chose to be the imperial concubine.

As long as she entered the harem, she would have plenty of opportunities to fight Yu Huan.

Becoming the queen is only a matter of time.

Pei Junheng turned his head and glanced at her with a cold and ruthless look, "How can you make my queen forget me?"

Mu Xinyao smiled faintly and said slowly:

"Yu Huan was poisoned by Zhao Lin, and Zhao Lin got the poison from me. I then mixed it with a medicinal powder I developed, which can bewitch her mind. She will forget whatever I want her to forget."

"Besides, the reason why Yu Huan forgot Pei Yanxiu was because of me. Otherwise, she wouldn't have stayed by your side so obediently."

"That's all I have to say. Your Majesty, do you know what to do next?" Mu Xinyao's tone was a little arrogant.

Hearing this, Pei Junheng's eyelashes drooped, covering the sharpness in his eyes, and he said calmly: "Since you poisoned her, why don't you use the antidote to threaten me?"

Mu Xinyao was stunned.

Unexpectedly, Pei Junheng saw through her at once.

Although she poisoned Yu Huan.

But she had no antidote.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have gone to so much trouble to come up with such a thing!

Soon, Mu Xinyao concealed the panic in her eyes and smiled: "Compared to making you lose Yu Huan and making Yu Huan forget you, the latter is naturally more interesting."

Pei Junheng glanced at her coldly, his tone tinged with frost, "How do you know if the medicine you gave her can really control her mind?"

Mu Xinyao didn't even think about it and said directly: "The medicine I personally took out, of course it can't be wrong!"

"I hope you can still be so arrogant in a moment." Pei Junheng said.

Mu Xinyao, who was originally full of confidence, frowned slightly when she heard this, and a bad premonition arose in her heart.

What does he mean by this?

Why wait a quarter of an hour?

Could it be that her medicine was switched?

No, not possible!

Mu Xinyao shook her head suddenly, a determined look on her face, "The medicine I gave Yu Huan won't be wrong!"

"You think you can call the Queen by her name?" Pei Junheng's eyes flashed with coldness. "Someone, slap her in the face!"

As soon as these words were spoken, several maids appeared at the pavilion in the middle of the lake and slowly approached Mu Xinyao.

Mu Xinyao's heart sank, and her tone was tinged with fear. "I'm your cousin, you can't bully me like this!"

Pei Junheng had a cold expression on his face, and obviously didn't want to pay attention to her.

He held Yu Huan in his arms and sat down in the pavilion. His eyes fell on Yu Huan's face, and the frost in his eyes faded and softened.

Pei Yan stood tall and slender, with a very cold expression, standing to one side, still pinching Mu Xinyao's neck, and said angrily:

"So it was you who poisoned Yu Huan? Mu Xinyao, you are truly despicable. To obtain the position of Queen, you actually did such a despicable thing!"

The fresh air that had just been obtained disappeared in an instant, and a feeling of suffocation swept over her. Mu Xinyao's face turned pale and she couldn't make a sound.

"Take out the antidote!" Pei Yanxiu shouted.

Pei Junheng raised his eyes and looked at him, "She doesn't have the antidote. Wasn't what I asked clear enough?"

Pei Yanxiu's eyes gradually darkened. How could he not hear it?

I just feel a little unwilling.

Don't want to miss any opportunity.

Since it was Mu Xinyao who poisoned me, I can only start with her.

Pei Yanxiu leaned over and said in a deep voice, "Hand over the antidote, and I will spare your life."

"Just spare my life?" Mu Xinyao's eyes flashed with greed, and she lowered her voice, "I want to be the queen. Do you have any solution?"

She spoke only in a tone that both of them could hear, deliberately avoiding Pei Junheng.

Since Pei Junheng left no room for maneuver, she would just deal with Pei Yanxiu.

One more person means one more hope.

Pei Yanxiu's thin lips curled slightly, but his smile seemed cold. "If I can't see the antidote, why would I grant you the position of Queen?"

Mu Xinyao took out a small white jade porcelain bottle from her sleeve and said, "This is the antidote."

Pei Yanxiu wanted to take the porcelain bottle from her palm.

Mu Xinyao held on tightly, unwilling to let go, "When you ascend the throne and I become queen, I will give you the antidote."

Pei Yanxiu glanced at her indifferently, a hint of impatience on his brows, and with a strong pull, he took out the porcelain bottle and poured out one of the pills.

He pinched her jaw and force-fed her.

"Since it's the antidote, you can try it on her first." Pei Yanxiu said softly.
