Huo Jingxuan stared at Jiang Xi with bloodshot eyes.

That look in his eyes seemed to want to drag Jiang Xi away and torture her to death eight hundred times!

Jiang Xi wasn't scared at all; instead, she smiled and kissed him on the forehead: "That's a good boy!"

Outside the secret chamber, a soldier reported: "Reporting to my lord, we haven't found it!"

"Tsk!"

Han Chuan clicked his tongue in surprise and muttered to himself curiously.

"The prince disappeared after entering the palace to meet the emperor. We have inquired at several palace gates, but we have not seen the prince come out."

Logically, they should still be inside the palace. They've practically dug three feet into the ground to search; how could they not be there?

As he spoke, his gaze fell on a painting of a beautiful woman emerging from a bath hanging on the wall.

The painting depicts a beautiful woman sitting by a bathtub, her shoulders partially exposed, her delicate figure swaying in the breeze, evoking a sense of tenderness at first sight.

"What is the subject of this painting of a beautiful woman emerging from her bath?"

Han Chuan asked Qiu Ye, another maid in the Jade Palace, with curiosity.

“She is my princess!” Qiuye replied with a bow.

Han Chuan, always self-disciplined and respectful, immediately looked away upon hearing this, not daring to offend in the slightest: "Withdraw!"

Once the footsteps outside had disappeared, Jiang Xi released her hand from Huo Jingxuan's mouth.

…………

In the following days, Jiang Xi would visit Huo Jingxuan in the secret room every day, occasionally bickering with him and sometimes dragging him into doing whatever he wanted.

Huo Jingxuan always loathed her, but he would sometimes let out a muffled groan when he couldn't control himself.

"Does Your Majesty know? People outside are going crazy looking for you. If it weren't for this thing, I might not have been able to keep you trapped!"

After a moment of indulgence, Jiang Xi lay on Huo Jingxuan's bare chest, taking out a porcelain bottle and playing with it.

Huo Jingxuan's gaze fell upon the porcelain bottle, and it suddenly turned crimson as he struggled to snatch it.

But with his limbs being pulled by chains, he could only fall heavily back onto the bed.

Jiang Xi had just turned eighteen six months ago. On the day of her coming-of-age ceremony, she unexpectedly triggered the first cheat code she had ever had since transmigrating.

It was a sealed space containing all sorts of poisons.

The "Muscle-Weakening Powder" that renders one's internal strength completely ineffective.

The "Forgetful River Candle" is a drug that causes people to lose their memories.

The "Truth-Telling Pill" is a pill that makes people tell the truth.

A "compass" that makes people obey orders.

……

After Jiang Xi discovered this, she dared not make a sound.

After discovering the remarkable effectiveness of these poisons, they became slightly bolder.

A month ago, her elder brother, Jiang Ji, came to her to plot something.

After discussing it, the two decided that Jiang Xi would use a muscle-softening powder to control Huo Jingxuan.

Then Jiang Ji contacted his confidants to find an opportunity to launch a palace coup, using the "Sovereign" to get the current emperor to draft an edict of succession.

Even though Huo Jingxuan later recovered his internal strength, the world had already changed hands, and he was powerless to reverse the situation.

"What's the rush? It's not like I'm not going to give you a drink!"

One dose of the muscle-softening powder only lasts for seven days. After the effects wear off, the person taking the medicine will gradually recover.

Jiang Xi deliberately misinterpreted Huo Jingxuan's meaning, pulled out the medicine plug, lifted Huo Jingxuan's chin, and fed it to his lips.

"I think you're almost recovered. Listen to me, drink a little more, and wait another day!"

Huo Jingxuan tilted his head to the side, his face full of disgust as he refused.

Jiang Xi changed her grip on his chin to pinching, and began forcefully pouring the contents in!

"Don't worry, it won't hurt you. I wouldn't dare!"

"Knock knock!"

The door to the secret chamber was knocked on again.

Jiang Xi paused slightly as she poured the medicine down her throat, and asked warily, "Who?"

"Your Highness, it is your servant Chuntao!"

Outside the door, Chun Tao bowed and gave a greeting.

Jiang Xi glanced at Huo Jingxuan on the bed, pulled up his clothes, put the medicine bottle on the table, and got up to open the door.

"what happened?"

"His Highness the Third Prince said that you must guard Huo Jingxuan well, as he is about to begin his operation!"

Chun Tao was a maidservant to Jiang Xi and also a lover of Jiang Ji. Jiang Ji promised her that he would make her a concubine after he ascended the throne.

"understood!"

Jiang Xi responded and then slammed the door shut.

He turned and went back into the house, no longer in a hurry to administer the medicine.

"Did you hear that? When the sun rises tomorrow, the weather outside will change drastically!"

Jiang Xi sat down beside the white jade bed, stared into Huo Jingxuan's eyes, and smiled lightly.

Huo Jingxuan's face was full of anger, and he gritted his teeth: "You think you can just trap me?"

There are also four powerful ministers outside; they will also try to prevent your elder brother from ascending the throne!

"You don't need to try to trick me. My royal brother will naturally arrange for people to hold them off. As for who those people are, you don't need to know!"

Jiang Xi spoke flawlessly, but then her tone turned resentful: "Uncle, you're so unfair!"

The eldest prince and my elder brother are both sons of the emperor. Why does my uncle help him and not my elder brother?

Is it just because he's an incompetent fool that you can easily control him?

"you……"

Huo Jingxuan glared angrily at Jiang Xi.

Jiang Xi glared at him: "What? Am I wrong? Doesn't Imperial Uncle want that position?"

Looking across the land, which person of such extraordinary talent as the Imperial Uncle would willingly submit to anyone else?

As Jiang Xi spoke, she reached out and opened Huo Jingxuan's collar.

On Huo Jingxuan's shoulder were the teeth marks she left when she was in love.

The wound was so deep that bone was visible, and blood was dripping everywhere.

This mark will most likely stay with him for the rest of his life.

"Is this your first time with me, Uncle? I've heard that no matter how many women a man has been with, he will always remember his first woman especially!"

Jiang Xi gently stroked the teeth mark with her fingertips, then suddenly pressed down hard.

"hiss!"

Huo Jingxuan let out a painful and unbearable sound.

"You mustn't forget me, Imperial Uncle!" Jiang Xi looked up to remind him.

"I wish I could tear you to pieces!" Huo Jingxuan's eyes were bloodshot with rage.

How could the regent, who was always a master strategist and proud, possibly tolerate being defiled by such a vile woman!

"Uncle's words are truly hurtful!"

Jiang Xi bent down and extended her pink tongue to lick away the beads of blood that had spurted from Huo Jingxuan's shoulder.

"Doesn't your royal uncle know that I've liked you since I was very young?"

Every time I see how infatuated Yang Xuerou is with you, I think, what if I could just steal you away?

If you made love to her right in front of her, do you think she'd go crazy?

As she spoke, she slightly raised her eyes to look at Huo Jingxuan's expression. Her phoenix eyes were raised, her red lips were stained with blood, and her black hair was flying wildly, making her look like a demon who had just eaten a person.

"madman!"

Jiang Xi raised an eyebrow indifferently, then noticed the medicine bottle on the table, picked it up again, and fed it to Huo Jingxuan.

"So what if he's crazy? As long as Uncle Royal obeys!"

"Princess, something terrible has happened! Lord Han Chuan has returned with the Shence Army!"

A panicked voice, accompanied by hurried footsteps, suddenly rang out outside the palace gate; it was Chun Tao, who had returned.

As soon as he finished speaking, with a snap, the iron chain at the head of the bed was shattered into pieces by a powerful internal force.

The next second, Huo Jingxuan, who had been lying on the bed unable to move, suddenly sat up straight.

Jiang Xi was so frightened that she backed off the bed and stared at the man in front of her in terror.

"You...you've recovered your internal energy?"
