However, a loud noise broke the ambiguity, like a bolt from the blue, shaking the entire inner hall.

Qi Lancang and Liu Ying were startled by the sudden noise and separated immediately. Their heartbeats also accelerated along with the loud noise.

"Chen Fuquan, Chen Fuquan..." Qi Lancang shouted loudly to his personal eunuch. He wanted to tear the person who disturbed his good deeds into pieces.

Chen Fuquan didn't see anything, he only saw the person he thought was hacked to death.

"You...how come you are still alive?" Qi Lancang hurriedly stood in front of Liu Ying and looked at Xihe in horror.

"Bang!" Xihe waved her hand, and the person behind her quickly threw the man in black in front of Qi Lancang.

"You, you, you killed them?" Qi Lancang's tongue was barely speaking. Even the secret medicine in the palace couldn't subdue her. Was there anyone else in the world who could subdue her?

Qi Lancang felt a chill in his heart and felt that his future days would be dark.

Liu Ying didn't even dare to stick her head out, let alone speak, and huddled tightly behind Qi Lancang.

"They are committing crimes in the palace, and I will help you deal with them." Xihe smiled slightly and walked towards Qi Lancang.

"You...don't come over here, don't come over here..." Before Qi Lancang could finish his words, Xihe grabbed his neck.

"Gudong!" Qi Lancang felt something rolling quickly into his mouth, and he was horrified.

"What did you feed me?" Qi Lancang asked Xihe loudly while scratching his throat.

"Oh! It's rude not to reciprocate, so just enjoy it!"

"Poison, you fed me poison?" Qi Lancang was shocked.

"That's right, enjoy it!"

"You killed the king, how dare you kill the king..." Qi Lancang looked at Xihe in panic, his lips trembling.

"Stop slandering me, aren't you still alive?" Xihe spread his hands.

"You..." Qi Lancang was furious: "Puff..." He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of black blood.

Immediately afterwards, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, as if thousands of sharp knives were cutting into his internal organs, causing him excruciating pain.

He covered his abdomen, groaned in pain, and rolled uncontrollably on the ground, trying to relieve the heart-wrenching pain.

Every roll felt like torture, and every howl revealed the despair and helplessness deep in his heart.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." Liu Ying looked at Qi Lancang rolling on the ground with tears in her eyes. She wanted to help but didn't know what to do.

“Plop——!” She wiped her tears, knelt in front of Xihe, and begged, “Miss Han, Miss Han, I beg you, please…”

"It's all our fault. Can you please be magnanimous and let him go?" Liu Ying kept kowtowed to Xihe, even when her forehead was bleeding.

"We are selfish and only think about ourselves. We will compensate you well in the future and return the throne to you. Is that okay with you?"

She was in excruciating pain, but Xihe was not moved at all. Does he know the pain now?

Didn't Han Yueqing suffer at the time? She had to bear the consequences of her own actions!

Xihe pinched her neck and stuffed a pill into her mouth, then threw her to the ground.

"Since you feel so sorry for him, why don't you stay with him too!"

"Ahhhh..." The shrill scream scared everyone else in the hall.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Ying'er is in so much pain..."

"Ying'er... Ying'er..."

……

"Tsk tsk tsk, what a human tragedy!" Xihe sat in front of the two of them, watching them screaming and rolling with a smile.

The effect of the medicine wore off after a few cups of tea, and the two of them breathed in the air in big gulps like fish just out of water.

"You two, I forgot to tell you that this medicine has no antidote and the symptoms will recur once a day." Xihe's cold voice rang in their ears, and they sat up abruptly upon hearing it.

"Your Majesty..." Liu Ying called out to Qi Lancang in a crying voice.

Qi Lancang held Liu Ying tightly in his arms and looked at Xihe: "What do you want?"

"The throne." Xihe answered casually.

"No, you are not a member of the Qi family. You can't control those clans at all." Qi Lancang was shocked at first, then shook his head.

"It's not me, it's Chaoyang."

"She is also a woman..." Qi Lancang wanted to say something, but when he saw Xihe's cold eyes, he immediately stopped talking.

"You will never have any children other than Chaoyang in this life." Xihe dropped another bomb.

"What?" Qi Lancang looked at Xihe in confusion: "What do you mean?"

"There is sterilization drug in the medicine." Xihe kindly reminded him.

Qi Lancang couldn't believe his ears, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

"Even if I can't have children anymore, she can't be the emperor..." Qi Lancang accepted his fate. There was nothing he could do even if he didn't.

"As long as you teach Chaoyang with all your heart, everything else will be fine." Xihe interrupted his sigh.

"Clan..." Qi Lancang mentioned the clan again.

"Why don't you just kill whoever causes trouble?" Xihe said calmly, which made Qi Lancang tremble with fear.

"I..." Qi Lancang wanted to say something, but Xihe was too impatient to listen.

"I'm ordering you, not negotiating with you."

"Okay." Qi Lancang stopped talking and nodded in agreement. After all, Chaoyang was his own son.

"Issue an order to select a study partner for the princess."

Qi Lancang nodded and agreed immediately.

"If Chaoyang is harassed by those old fogies in the court, I will chop off one of Liu Ying's fingers."

When Liu Ying heard this, she huddled tightly in Qi Lancang's arms, her body trembling.

Qi Lancang patted her body and said, "Don't worry! Chaoyang is my biological daughter after all."

"It's good that you understand. Otherwise, I don't mind staining the court with blood."

After Xihe left, Liu Ying burst into tears.

"Your Majesty, it's all Ying'er's fault. If it weren't for Ying'er, you wouldn't be like this..." Liu Ying didn't care whether Qi Lancang blamed her or not, she admitted her mistake first.

"It's none of your business..." Qi Lancang stroked her head, a complex look flashing in his eyes.

It's none of her business? Don't blame her? That's a lie, but it happened, and he could only suppress the irritation in his heart.

Afterwards, he secretly asked someone to find a hermit master for him.

His every move was under Xihe's control. She didn't care at all about him secretly looking for a master. She believed that no one in the world could solve her poison.

When the princess was choosing a study partner, Xihe picked many daughters of wealthy families who were unwilling to be trapped in the backyard.

On the surface, he was a study partner, but secretly he was looking for a team for Qi Yuxi.

Those people followed Qi Yuxi to study literature during the day and martial arts at night.

They are all very smart and they knew what they were learning after a few days.
