The Princess Agents Want a Divorce

Chapter 85 The Fairy in Red

Noticing that Gu Lingxi was looking at him, Jun Moli lightly tapped his wine glass with his finger, and a drop of icy wine flew out and splashed lightly onto Gu Lingxi's fair wrist!

What? Aren't you going to retaliate? Are you waiting to send me, the king, away?

Feeling the icy drop, Gu Lingxi rolled her eyes! Childish brat! I'm fighting here to save face and avoid getting steamed buns! It has absolutely nothing to do with you! Besides, didn't you hear your emperor father say he'd punish me if I lost? Damn it! Neither father nor son is likable!

With a flick of her left hand, Gu Lingxi crushed a hallucinogenic drug from the Demon Feather Palace into countless tiny orbs of light using her spiritual power. As she spun and waved her hand, these orbs transformed into countless golden spirit butterflies and flew towards the people in the hall!

Jun Moli narrowed his eyes, and surprisingly did not resist! He really wanted to see what this naughty girl was capable of!

The sound of a jade flute suddenly rang out; it was like the cry of a phoenix and the cry of an eagle breaking through the mist! Instantly shattering Princess Yunya's sonic barrier!

The crowd was still lost in the intoxicating world of wine, women, and song! But as Gu Lingxi's flute music began, the clear and melodious notes seemed to instantly transport them from the mundane world to a secluded and idyllic fairyland!

In a pristine and idyllic paradise, a flamboyant and beautiful woman in red gracefully descends from the sky! Holding a jade flute, stepping on red lotuses; her flowing robes astonish everyone!

This is an illusion woven by Gu Lingxi for them! It's clearly a cut above the illusion created by Princess Yunya, who was alone with her own group!

No matter how hard Yun Ya tried, she felt a barrier blocking her attacks! A sharp pain shot through her fingers, and she spat out a mouthful of blood, the music abruptly ceasing!

Gu Lingxi knew when to stop, and as the last note faded, everyone in the hall awoke!

Suddenly, Princess Yunya coughed up blood, while Miss Gu remained calm and composed! The outcome was clear!

A few weak-willed individuals couldn't distinguish between reality and illusion! Seeing Gu Lingxi standing gracefully, they shouted, "Fairy! Fairy in Red!" Some even couldn't resist rushing over to kiss her!

Jun Moli waved his hand unhappily, ordering his men to drag the several madmen out!

He had just been caught in an illusion, and to be honest, that naughty girl looked absolutely stunning in red! I wonder how breathtaking she would be in a wedding dress?

He then frowned in displeasure. This was his treasure, and so many people had actually seen it today. He really wanted to gouge out their eyes! He would then hide this naughty girl away and admire her by himself!

Nangong Yunya gently wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and forced a smile.

Sister Gu's musical talent is indeed as legendary as the rumors suggest; Ya'er is extremely impressed!

Gu Lingxi frowned. "Princess Yunya, please just call me Miss Gu the Second! I really don't deserve to be called the Princess's older sister!"

Emperor Lin Yuan clapped his hands and laughed, "Good, good! As expected of the good princess I bestowed upon Li'er! Winning the competition this time has at least not disgraced me! Just tell me what reward you want! I will certainly not be stingy with what I can give!"

Gu Lingxi inwardly scoffed. This emperor couldn't resist showing off in every sentence—was this really appropriate? Losing meant punishment! Winning meant only one reward! And he even praised himself along with it!

It seems like the prize money has nothing to do with me, what a rip-off! Jun Moli is supposed to be her future husband! Gu Lingxi was full of displeasure!

Father Emperor, Prince Li is my future husband, so doesn't that mean I don't get a share of this prize? I think this is very unfair. Could I ask for another favor?

Emperor Lin Yuan thought about it and agreed, then asked, "What kind of favor do you desire?"

My daughter-in-law wants to choose a jade piece from the Treasure Pavilion herself! Is that alright?

Upon hearing this, Emperor Lin Yuan realized it wasn't a big deal and nodded in agreement. "Then you can go and choose one yourself in a moment!"

After thanking the Emperor for his favor, Gu Lingxi quietly returned to her seat. All she could think about was how to secretly smuggle in more treasures later. Hmph, she couldn't be blamed; that wicked old man had annoyed her earlier! He'd put in so much effort, all she wanted was a little extra interest!

After several rounds of drinks, the banquet was drawing to a close!

Gu Lingxi idly fiddled with her wine cup. A young palace maid approached Gu Lingxi from behind, bowed, and whispered, "Miss Gu, please come with me to the Treasure Pavilion to choose your reward!"

Gu Lingxi didn't think much of it and got up to walk out of the banquet hall with the palace maid!

This was Gu Lingxi's first time at the Eastern Imperial Palace, and she wasn't very familiar with the place. The original owner of this body had been to the palace several times, but Gu Lingxi had no memory of it! She could only follow the strange palace maid in front of her!

The reason why this palace maid is considered strange is that ever since she spoke to her in the main hall, she has remained silent and unresponsive to any questions asked of her after they came out.

A chilling smile crept onto Gu Lingxi's lips. What was there to misunderstand? Their scheming was practically written all over their faces! She wanted to see who was plotting against her!

After passing through countless pavilions and towers, and turning through several connecting corridors and houses, the little palace maid finally stopped!

"This probably isn't the Treasure Pavilion!" Gu Lingxi said calmly, looking at the little palace maid who remained silent with her head down.

The young palace maid finally spoke up, "Of course this isn't the Treasure Pavilion! To go to the Treasure Pavilion, you must bathe and change clothes! Otherwise, it's disrespectful to the Emperor. Surely Miss Gu doesn't even know this?" Her tone was full of disdain.

Oh, I see! I really didn't know there was such a rule! Gu Lingxi pretended to suddenly realize!

The maid glared at her, annoyed. "You know that already? Hurry up and go inside! Your bathing supplies are ready! We still need to go to the Treasure Pavilion later, don't waste my time!"

Gu Lingxi pushed open the door and stepped inside. The little palace maid didn't follow. Instead, she locked the door from the outside after Gu Lingxi went in! Gu Lingxi didn't care about her little trick; if she wanted to play, she'd play along!

A large bathtub stood in the center of the room, surrounded by rising steam. A faint fragrance filled the air.

Gu Lingxi walked over, opened the incense burner, and carefully examined it with her nose! The ordinary incense contained a strong aphrodisiac scent!

Taking out the antidote given to her by her second uncle, Ye Yunsheng, from her spatial storage, Gu Lingxi swallowed it without hesitation!

I'm so glad I took over the Demon Feather Palace; I learned a lot about poisons! My second uncle even gave me many related books, prescriptions, and antidotes! Of course, the person I should thank the most is my cheapskate biological father!

After about half a cup of tea's time, voices could be heard outside!

Are you sure the medicine has worked?

Miss Ruier, don't worry! The medicine Her Majesty gave us should be enough to feed even a whole cow!

Okay, go and call my aunt over later!

You two go in, and the people inside will reward you. If you succeed, you'll be rewarded; if you fail, you know the consequences!
