The eldest daughter's scheming, the crown prince's exclusive favor to the venomous concubi

Murong Qianqiu paused upon hearing this, then smiled and said, "Hong'er, what you said makes sense. As expected of a witch from the Miao region, you're getting married in five days. How are your preparations going?"

The person standing in Murong Qianqiu's study at this moment was Heli Hong.

When Murong Qianqiu asked her a question, she naturally replied with a smile, "Thank you for your concern, Father. Hong'er has made all the preparations, and the Gu worm I'm making for you is almost complete. I believe that it won't be long before you get what you want."

Upon hearing this, Murong Qianqiu seemed reassured and nodded with satisfaction, saying, "That's very good. Nan'er is the child born to my most beloved woman. If his mother hadn't passed away and it hadn't been difficult for him to survive in the palace, I would never have allowed him to wander outside. Fortunately, he has now found a virtuous wife like you, so I can rest assured."

Murong Qianqiu is still indulging in his grand but unrealistic dreams, continuing to deceive her with words. Once she marries Bai Jianan and achieves her goal, the kingdom of Yue will gradually fall into her hands.

"What are you saying, Father? Hong'er fell in love with the young master at first sight and has followed him for many years. It is only natural for her to fulfill her filial duty to the young master now. However, Father has been scheming and planning everything for the young master. Hong'er is naturally grateful."

"What a good child! Don't worry, I will certainly not treat you and Nan'er unfairly."

After the two flattered each other for a while, Heli Hong took her leave. After she left, Murong Qianqiu suddenly sneered, "A mere Miao region dares to try and affect my Yue Kingdom? Once I get that Golden Cicada Gu, I will definitely make your Miao region pay."

After leaving the Emperor's palace, Helihong went straight to the Princess's residence, only to find that it was heavily guarded and she was not allowed to enter.

Heli Hong immediately retorted sharply, "What does this mean? I am the Crown Prince's fiancée, and we will be married soon. Get out of my way!"

Before she could finish speaking, the head guard said, "Before leaving, the Princess instructed that the young master's wedding is coming soon and he must not see his bride. His previous meeting with the daughter of the Shangguan family caused a great disaster. Now that the young master is in poor health, he cannot afford to make any more mistakes. Therefore, starting today, the Princess's residence will be closed for five days. Only on the day of the wedding can the witch be welcomed into the house."

Upon hearing this, Helihong narrowed her eyes in anger and wanted to rush in, but the guards at the door held her firmly, not letting her get any closer.

Now that she couldn't hurt anyone, she was so angry that she planned to climb over the wall. But when she looked up and saw the black figure sitting on the wall, she immediately hid her anger and said coldly to the figure on the wall, "It seems that I can't enter the princess's mansion today. In that case, I will wait until the wedding day. I want to see who can stop me on the wedding day."

After saying that, he snorted coldly and turned to leave.

Zang Feng, standing on the wall, smiled slightly, shook his head, and sighed, "It seems this battle will be a protracted one."

Upon returning to Bai Jianan's residence, he opened the door and asked, "How did it go?"

"Not optimistic."

As Jia Banwen spoke, he pulled the silver needle from Bai Jianan's chest. It was stained with some black. He put the silver needle into a teacup next to him and poured some wine into it. The black on the silver needle became darker and darker, and in an instant, it completely stained the silver needle.

Beside him, Yan Xingzhi frowned and said, "What exactly is this Gu poison? How can it be so potent? Spreading in an instant?"

Zang Feng came in and closed the door. He then saw Jia Banwen use chopsticks to pick out the silver needle and put it in another bowl. He then took a bamboo tube from his waist, opened the lid, and poured the contents into the bowl.

A spider, about half the size of a fingernail, crawled out of the bamboo tube. It went into the bowl, crawled back and forth on the silver needle twice, and then slowly stopped and remained motionless.

Seeing this, Zang Feng asked curiously, "Why aren't you moving?"

"Of course he's dead."

Jia Banwen sighed and said, "This spider is the most venomous black widow, but I didn't expect it to last less than a quarter of an hour. It seems that I don't have the ability to cure the poison in the young master's body yet."

"What should I do?"

Yan Xingzhi was somewhat worried. After thinking for a moment, he said angrily, "I never thought that the biggest mistake was actually at the root of the problem. We were tricked by the Miao people."

"There is no other way. The Gu worms on the prince's body did not harm his life, but deliberately controlled his memory. If it weren't for my medicine, the prince would probably have lost his memory long ago and would only remember the memory person that the witch deliberately set for him."

I sense that this Gu worm is hostile to others. If I touch it, it will struggle and be discovered by the person who cast the Gu, who will then control it. At that point, the prince will be in danger.

"Just now, I used a silver needle to draw a trace of blood from the prince's heart meridian, which indicates that the Gu worm is indeed located there. It couldn't have been created by brute force. Therefore, the best course of action now is to keep him by the priestess's side while we search for a solution."

Upon hearing this, Bai Jianan was the first to retort: ​​"I cannot tolerate this. If you insist on doing this, then take me away, do whatever you want with me, just don't hand me over to her."

Upon hearing this, Jia Banwen suddenly smiled and mocked, "But in the end, the young master will still lose his previous memories and only remember the memories that the witch chose for you. We may all be remembered as your enemies. If you return here on your own, we will not be able to stop you."

Zang Feng frowned: "So we'll just let the young master do as he pleases?"

"What other way is there? Do you think there is? This Gu worm didn't just appear on the young master in a day or two; it's probably been there for many years. It's just that I wasn't good at dealing with Gu worms. If my sister were here, perhaps the young master would still have a chance, but alas..."

As he spoke, Jia Banwen suddenly stopped talking and sighed, "Young Master, you are destined to face this calamity. It is better to accept it. Right now, we have no advantage in terms of timing, location, or people. We can only bide our time and plan for the future."

The plan to steal Bai Jianan failed. Zang Feng and the others could only try to keep him conscious for a few more days. However, even with their efforts to control him, Bai Jianan's consciousness gradually drifted away from his body and he fell into a state of darkness.

When he woke up again, it was his wedding day, and his memories had changed as a result.

The day before Bai Jianan's wedding, good news came from the Qiu family: the eldest daughter of the Qiu family and Crown Prince Murong Chuan had finally tied the knot and were to choose a date for their wedding.

When this news came out, the Qiu family was overjoyed. They were beaming with pride, especially Madam Sun, who had been utterly suppressed before. Now she was finally able to vent her anger and gave a good scolding to the restless members of the household.

Qiu Lingfeng, the person involved, was relieved and quietly stayed in her room, secretly pleased.

The woman's gift that day was indeed genuine. Moreover, she somehow managed to bring Murong Chuan here, and the two of them consummated their relationship in the prison, during which time she lost her virginity.

At that moment, Murong Chuan was astonished, but the next moment he suddenly picked her up and took her back to the Crown Prince's residence. Afterwards, he sent someone to the Qiu family to say that he would choose a day to take Qiu Lingfeng as a concubine.

Qiu Lingfeng was not satisfied with the position of a concubine, but she was not the same as before. The status of a concubine was still an honor for her, so she accepted it indifferently.

After resting overnight at the Crown Prince's residence, she was sent back to the Qiu residence along with the betrothal gifts. Madam Sun was all smiles, and Qiu Zhenzhou was relieved.

However, Madam Sun did not give him a kind look. Ever since Xiao Rou became pregnant, and the child became Qiu Zhenzhou's person by virtue of his mother's status, Qiu Zhenzhou went to the old lady's Buddhist hall almost every day. The old lady did not care and let the two of them make a fuss in the Buddhist hall. Madam Sun understood that she could not control this matter and was too lazy to care anymore.

Now that Shangguan Jianyue is dead, Qiu Lingrong has avenged herself, and Qiu Lingfeng has finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel, the status of the mother and daughter has naturally risen accordingly. With the help of her daughter and son, they can firmly hold their positions as the legal wife. Qiu Zhenzhou can have whatever he wants, as long as he doesn't cause any more trouble, it has nothing to do with her anymore.

However, Qiu Lingyun was so angry that she smashed a cup in the room. She never expected that after seducing Qiu Lingfeng into doing such a thing, she would still have the ability to turn the tables and even make the Crown Prince feel pity for her, exonerate her, and even want to marry her.

Could it be because of her face?

Thinking about it, Qiu Lingyun's face contorted with rage. In the blink of an eye, she made a gurgling sound, and a large number of poisonous insects and scorpions appeared around her bed. Two small jade snakes slithered into her sleeves, and she smiled indulgently at the two snakes, her eyes filled with bloodlust, and said, "Qiu Lingfeng, since you can turn the tables, I don't mind stepping on you to rise to the top."

Upon learning that Murong Chuan had presented betrothal gifts to the Qiu family without going through anyone, and even publicly announced his intention to marry the eldest daughter of the Qiu family, Empress Sun was furious. She immediately sent people to look for Murong Chuan, but they could not find him anywhere.

When Murong Qianqiu learned of this news, he merely went through the motions to question Sun Rouxiang. Sun Rouxiang could only reluctantly tell the truth, saying that she didn't know either. Murong Qianqiu did not send anyone else to ask.

Sun Rouxiang didn't know whether Murong Qianqiu would intervene or not, or whether she would be angry or not. But now that Murong Chuan was doing this, even if Murong Qianqiu wasn't angry, it would still greatly affect Murong Chuan's image.

Regardless of what kind of girl Qiu Lingfeng is, the fact that she pushed Shangguan Jianyue off the Hongmeng Bridge in public, whether she had a reason or not, will certainly become a target of gossip. I'm afraid that tomorrow a minister will come forward to impeach the Crown Prince. Thinking of this, Sun Rouxiang felt a sharp pain in her heart.

"Go, find him! Even if you have to dig a hole in the ground, find the Crown Prince. If you can't find him, go and guard the Qiu residence. I refuse to believe that he won't show up on the wedding day."
