Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 700

Her soft, gentle words, filled with gratitude and adoration, left Qi Xuan's mind blank. Now, even if it meant going through fire and water, he would do it without hesitation for the beauty in his arms.

The two lingered together for a long time, and Qi Xuan finally remembered that she was supposed to go find Shen Lingjun, so she reluctantly left.

Sheng Qiongluo watched him until he was out of sight, then turned around, her expression turning cold and sharp.

It seems that Qi Xuan, that fool, has been dealt with, but it's unclear whether the Crown Princess has succeeded.

Only if the Crown Princess dies and vacates the position can she ascend to the throne.

She never bothered to compete for the position of a concubine. With her talent, beauty, and family background, she was second to none in the entire Western Qi. Only the position of Crown Princess was worthy of her, and she was destined to enjoy the ultimate honor of being the Empress.

Some young ladies in Xiqi also harbored similar ambitions to her, but they thought they could first become concubines, and then be made a concubine when the crown prince ascended the throne. They could then climb the ranks through palace intrigue and possibly sit on the highest phoenix throne.

But she didn't want to compromise herself by taking such a roundabout route. With her pride, to become someone's concubine, even temporarily, she felt she was betraying herself; it would be the biggest stain on her otherwise perfect life.

Since God has given her such a superior life, she is destined to stand at the pinnacle of humanity every step of the way.

As for the Crown Princess Cheng Wu, she was not as well-born, nor as talented or beautiful as her, and she couldn't even have children. She was utterly useless and couldn't compare to her in any way.

She was just lucky; she married the seventh prince before he had even shown his talent, and now she has risen to prominence and become the crown prince's wife.

Why should she? She's not qualified for the position of Crown Princess at all. She should give it up and let someone more qualified take it!

Sheng Qiongluo returned to the Sheng family's tent.

She was the only female member of the Sheng family to attend the autumn hunt this time.

Her biological mother, Lady Sheng, came from the southern border of Western Qi. She had a complicated background and had several capable and extraordinary people under her command.

The animal trainer who trained the Nine-Colored Mouse was one of Madam Sheng's people. By using Granny Ma to trick Xue Kui into stealing the Crown Princess's personal clothing from the East Palace, the Nine-Colored Mouse became familiar with the Crown Princess's scent, allowing it to accurately sneak into the East Palace and find the Crown Princess even when released outside.

The Crown Princess was indeed bitten and almost died from the poison. The Crown Prince even issued a bounty on her head, but she was eventually saved.

It was most likely Qi Xuan who cured the poison. The disciples of the Old Man of Apricot and Orange have that ability.

Sheng Qiongluo was very unwilling to give up.

Unexpectedly, at this time, God sent Qi Xuan to her door again.

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, she played the zither by the river under the moon, hoping to attract the attention of the Crown Prince who was also admiring the moon on the other side of the river. Unexpectedly, the Crown Prince did not react at all, but instead captivated the silly Qi Xuan.

But Qi Xuan is not bad either. He is the disciple of the Old Man of Apricot and Orange, and is skilled in both medicine and poison. The key is that he is also familiar with the Crown Prince, so much so that he lives in the Eastern Palace. He is of great value and can be of great use.

Madam Sheng then had three adult brown bears lured to the hunting grounds. The animal trainer used drugs to drive the bears into a frenzy. In this state, even a master would find it difficult to defeat such a giant beast.

Now we'll see if this one works out.

Sheng Qiongluo waited in the tent until late at night, but the people outside still couldn't find any trace of the Crown Princess.

She then sent two of her guards to check the pine forest.

Logically speaking, if the Crown Princess had escaped, it's impossible that there would have been no news of her for so long.

If she is already dead, then report it out. It's better to confirm her death sooner so that the position of Crown Princess can be vacated sooner. If she is lucky enough to survive but is seriously injured and unable to move, then it's time to finish her off, so that it won't be like last time, where she was just a little short but ended up failing at the last minute.
