The whole family of villains listens to my heart, the Regent Prince treats me dearly.

The two soon arrived at the Imperial Wardrobe.

The head lady-in-waiting bowed respectfully upon seeing them, saying, "Greetings, Regent Prince, Princess Yongning."

"Get up," Jun Ce said calmly. "Where are the wedding clothes?"

"Please come with me, both of you."

The head female official led Zhai Rong and He Junce into the main hall.

She secretly glanced at Zhai Rongyu out of the corner of her eye, unable to suppress her admiration.

These days, the Regent's wife's wedding dress is the top priority of their Imperial Wardrobe. It can be said that the best fabrics and threads in the entire palace, the best craftsmen, and it took several months to complete this wedding dress.

Only someone as ethereal as the Princess of Yongning County could be worthy of it.

"Your Highness, Princess Yongning, your wedding attire is right here."

Following the direction of the head female official, Zhai Rongyu saw a bright red dress hanging in the center of the hall.

The red wedding dress with gold embroidery gleamed with the unique luster of the finest silk. The phoenixes on it were soaring, lifelike, and several red gold rubies were inlaid on the chest. The skirt, woven with gold thread, trailed three feet to the ground, like a magnificent, burning flame.

Zhai Rongyu's eyes sparkled, and his dark pupils gleamed.

Jun Ce knew she liked it after just one glance.

Sure enough, I heard her exclaim, "This wedding dress is so beautiful!"

He smiled and said, "As long as Rong'er likes it."

Zhai Rongyu leaned closer to look at the phoenix on it. "This phoenix is ​​embroidered so well. From a distance, it looks just like the real thing."

The female official in charge smiled and said, "Reporting to Princess Yongning, the phoenix on this piece is embroidered using the gold-threaded jade velvet technique. First, gold and silver threads are used to weave a pattern of a phoenix amidst peonies, and then extremely fine velvet threads are used to fill in the details, which makes it look exceptionally three-dimensional and lifelike."

"Hidden within the phoenix's feathers are fine threads of different colors. When the skirt is dragged in the sunlight, the seven-colored phoenix feathers can be seen, shimmering and sparkling."

"It feels like we're really flying among peonies."

Zhai Rongyu was delighted and couldn't help but reach out to touch it, saying, "You're so thoughtful."

As her smooth fingertips glided over the wedding dress, she suddenly felt a sharp pain.

Zhai Rongyu frowned.

She looked down and saw that the stinging pain had turned into a cold chill, like countless tiny snakes burrowing into her limbs and bones!

Zhai Rongyu was greatly surprised.

She abruptly withdrew her hand, but her fingertips were already stained with venom. In just a few breaths, her fair fingers turned black.

A pungent aroma wafted into my nose.

“This is… a broken dream!” she murmured.

The Broken Red Silk is a colorless and odorless deadly poison.

This poison is extremely rare. Once contaminated, the entire body loses its color and within an hour, the person becomes emaciated, as if pierced by thousands of needles, and dies in agony.

Who wants to harm her?

They actually put such a potent poison on her wedding dress!

Zhai Rongyu's eyes widened, and she staggered backward. A sense of powerlessness washed over her, and she went limp and fell backward.

"Rong'er!"

Jun Ce quickly stepped forward and put his arm around Zhai Rongyu's waist. The girl's face was almost deathly pale, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Jun Ce hurriedly took out an antidote pill and fed it to her.

"Rong'er, how are you? Are you feeling better?"

Jun Ce looked at her nervously.

Zhai Rongyu leaned against him, breathing slightly heavily.

The venom gradually dissipated.

"Ah Xu, I'm fine."

Fortunately, my antidote can cure all kinds of poisons.

Otherwise, I would truly be dead here today.

After regaining her senses, Zhai Rongyu opened her Heavenly Eye to take a closer look and indeed saw wisps of black mist spreading across the bright red wedding robes.

[This wedding dress is completely poisonous!]

Jun Ce breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her complexion gradually regain its color.

Anger surfaced in his indifferent eyes.

"You Imperial Wardrobe, how dare you!" he roared in fury.

The head lady-in-waiting was stunned by the scene before her, and it took her a long time to come to her senses before she hurriedly knelt down.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"This servant truly knew nothing about this matter!"

She was drenched in cold sweat, her head was buzzing, and she felt as if all the blood in her body had frozen.

Who exactly... wants to use the Imperial Wardrobe to murder Princess Yongning?

Jun Ce's eyes darkened, as if they contained shards of ice and a sudden downpour. "You didn't know?"

The head female official trembled as if she were being sieved.

"This servant truly does not know... Even if I had a hundred lives, I would never dare to harm the Regent's Consort!"

"Alone!"

Jun Ce spoke sharply and sternly, his tone ruthless, "Investigate this for me!"

A lone figure emerged from the shadows.

"Your Highness, rest assured! I will go immediately!"

Jun Ce carried Zhai Rongyu to a chair and put her down. He then knelt down in front of her and asked, "Rong'er, is there anything else that's bothering you?"

He reached out his fingertip and gently wiped away the fine sweat from her forehead.

My heart clenched in secret.

The image of her in pain was etched in my mind; just thinking about it made my heart ache, and I dared not think about it again.

Zhai Rongyu gently shook her head and grasped his fingertips, "It's alright now, A-Xu, don't worry."

[She's just still a little weak.]

[A few days of rest will help you recover.]

Jun Ce stood up and embraced her, saying, "Don't worry, I will definitely avenge you."

His dark eyes held a deep melancholy.

Who on earth is so bold as to dare to harm his people right under his nose?

He wanted to see how many lives this man had left!

A moment later, the Moon Shadow Guards brought the news.

An hour earlier, Qiu Jin, Wen's personal maid, had visited the Imperial Wardrobe.

"Is this true?" Jun Ce asked sternly.

The head maid then remembered and knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly.

"That's what happened..."

"Today, Aunt Qiu Jin came to the Imperial Clothing Bureau and said she wanted to ask for a burial garment. She didn't care about the style; anything ordinary would be fine."

"Her mistress, Consort Shu... oh no, Lady Wen..." The head maid glanced at Jun Ce with some alarm, and seeing that he did not speak, she continued tremblingly, "Lady Wen perished in the fire, without even a complete body... Aunt Qiu Jin said that Lady Wen had treated her well when she was alive, so she wore her burial clothes to follow her mistress in death, as if to bury her mistress and repay her kindness."

“This servant and Aunt Qiu Jin are from the same hometown. I am grateful for her loyalty, so I sent her a burial garment.”

She clenched her fists, filled with regret.

"Who would have thought...who would have thought that Qiu Jin would actually poison Princess Yongning's wedding dress while I was fetching her burial clothes!"

"This servant truly knows nothing of this matter; this servant was merely being used. I beg the Regent to investigate thoroughly!"

She collapsed to the ground, weeping bitterly, her fingertips trembling. "If I had known she harbored such wicked intentions, I would never have lent her any funeral clothes!"

"This servant's negligence is to blame!"

"I beg Your Majesty to spare my life, considering my sincere efforts and the painstaking work I put into making this wedding dress!"

"Please, Regent, have mercy!"

Jun Ce's gaze turned cold, "Qiu Jin..."

How could a lowly maidservant possess such a rare and precious poison as Dream of Broken Silk?

This matter is likely related to Jun Yiqing.

He glanced up at the lone figure. "Where is the Sixth Prince now?"
