C14 The Danger Had Been Averted

"Saintess, why are you here?" The Crown Prince raised his head and casually raised his wine cup to Shuangyao.

Shuangyao lowered her head as if she did not hear him.

"How dare you, Crown Prince, speak to a little saintess like this? You are looking down on me. What do you mean by this?" The eunuch jumped out under the Crown Prince's signal and shouted sharply.

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire hall fell silent.

The Empress smiled faintly. When she raised her head, she had already restrained her expression. "What a joke. A little eunuch dares to make a ruckus here? Crown Prince!"

"Bring it on! Come back."

The Crown Prince slowly stood up. There was no trace of apology on his face, nor was there any punishment for him. He just took the wine cup back and put it away.

He looked in the direction of Shuangyao and saw that she did not raise her head and was eating at a leisurely pace. On the other hand, Jun Liye, who was beside her, was looking at him in a subtle manner.

The Crown Prince looked at the wine cup on Jun Liye's table without making a sound.

"Saintess, are you looking down on me?"

Jun Liye was about to stand up, but Shuangyao put her hand on the back of his hand and stopped him. She took the wine cup and said with a sneer, "I am here to be intimate with you. Isn't this normal? It seems that you are very surprised by what the Crown Prince said!"

"I am very surprised. I wonder if you can tell me how you tamed the Southern Pacifying King. Everyone knows that the women who marry him all die. It seems that the Southern Pacifying King treats you very differently. Why don't we all toast to them and express our congratulations? What do you think?"

When Shuangyao heard this, she glanced at Jun Liye's wine cup from the corner of her eyes. She picked up the wine pot with her fair hand and filled it up with Jun Liye's wine. Then, a venomous insect fell into the wine cup along with the wine.

Since the Crown Prince and the others were in such a hurry, she might as well take advantage of the situation and mock them in her heart.

Since their relationship was not good, it would be easier for her to do things!

"Since the Crown Prince has sincerely blessed us, Shuangyao will thank the Crown Prince for his wishes. I and Southern Pacifying King will definitely be very happy." Shuangyao raised her eyebrows and pretended to look at Jun Liye affectionately.

In the eyes of outsiders, the two of them were really in love and loved each other.

Jun Liye did not know if he was imagining things, but Shuangyao emphasized the last two words. She looked at Jun Liye with a strange expression of expectation and frowned.

"Why? Does Your Highness have any objections to this?"

Shuangyao noticed that the people around her did not react at all. She put down the wine cup and turned around to warn Jun Liye.

Jun Liye suppressed his dissatisfaction and slowly raised his wine cup and finished it in one gulp.

The Crown Prince felt relieved when he saw that Jun Liye had drunk the wine. He was secretly happy in his heart. "This stupid saintess actually helped me. It's not like he can't wait until the matter is done before he takes her into the palace."

He glanced at Shuangyao in a subtle manner.

Unexpectedly, Shuangyao's experiences over the years made her extremely sensitive to this kind of gaze. She glared at the Crown Prince fiercely.

"If you are not upright, then you will be crooked." She glanced at Jun Liye and snorted coldly, her brows filled with a heavy coldness.

Shuangyao shook her head in disdain. She wiped the corner of her mouth with her slender fingers, and the lingering fragrance of the wine lingered on her fingertips, making people reminisce endlessly. She stared coldly at the graceful dance in front of her.

The beautiful woman in the middle of the court danced with her dress fluttering in the wind. The Crown Prince, who was sitting across from her, looked up at Jun Liye gloomily, but he was blocked by Jun Liye.

The Empress, who was sitting on the high seat, looked at Jun Liye's direction at least five times from the angle she was looking down at.

The Emperor, the Empress, the Crown Prince, and the others took the opportunity to move. They realized that Jun Liye had no reaction at all, so their plan could only be put on hold.

"What's going on?" The Emperor was furious. He swept the table with his hands and shouted in a low voice.

The Empress gloomily recalled everything that had happened at the banquet. She seemed to have remembered something and said with wide eyes, "It must be the Saintess who did it. If she wants to get rid of the Southern Pacifying King, she will be our obstacle."

As soon as these words fell, the two people in the Imperial Reading Room suddenly remembered that Shuangyao had filled Jun Liye's wine cup in the end. Perhaps this action of Shuangyao had done something. Otherwise, it was impossible for Jun Liye to leave the throne room.

"I'll leave this matter to you."

The Emperor suddenly turned around and looked at the Crown Prince behind him. He ordered expressionlessly.

The Crown Prince was stunned and subconsciously glanced at the Empress. However, he saw that she nodded without leaving a trace. Only then did he respond to the Emperor.

Staring at the backs of the Crown Prince and the Empress, the Emperor slightly narrowed his eyes, and a dark light flashed past, carrying ridicule.

"Mother, why?"

Shuangyao's entire body was a secret, and such a fierce poison was actually unable to cause any harm to Jun Liye. One could imagine how great Shuangyao's ability was.

The Emperor knew that this was not a stone that could be easily chewed, but he still let him take over. This was not deliberately making things difficult for him.

The Empress laughed softly, "I heard that there is a Mrs. Qing in the Southern Pacifying King's Mansion." She glanced at the Crown Prince.

When Yue Qing found out about the news in the palace, she took the initiative to send Yuan to contact the Crown Princess to express her goodwill, and in the end, she succeeded in getting close to the Empress and pointed her fingers at Shuangyao.

"Elder sister, are you not worried that Shuangyao will be showing off in the palace and monopolizing the prince?" Yue Qing lifted the handkerchief, and her tone was extremely calm, without any emotions.

Lateral Consort Lo lowered her head, and her embroidery hand accidentally stabbed into her flesh, "Hiss." She stared at her bleeding finger in a daze.

Yue Qing anxiously shouted, "Hurry up and invite the doctor over."

"No need, there's no need to trouble him with such a small injury. Mi'er, you can handle it for me."

Lateral Consort Lo's face revealed a proper smile, "What is Mrs. Qing saying? The prince can go wherever he wants, how can we control it?"

However, in her heart, she was filled with disdain towards the pretentious Yue Qing in front of her.

Yue Qing frowned and snorted coldly before turning around and leaving.

Ever since he returned from the banquet, Jun Liye had been in unbearable pain every day at midnight. However, the doctor had not found anything wrong with him.

"Your Highness, why don't you ask the doctor to take a look?"

Wufeng anxiously circled Jun Liye and carefully used a cloth to absorb the sweat on his forehead bit by bit. He suggested.

"Help me to that woman!"

Jun Liye gritted his teeth and spat out a sentence from between his teeth. Then, he clenched his teeth and endured the pain in his entire body.

"Bitch, was it you who poisoned me?"

"Poison?" Shuangyao thought of the three people who poisoned him and could not help but laugh out loud, "You should ask your good father, mother, and the Crown Prince instead of coming over and questioning me!"

Jun Liye frowned and his eyes were filled with doubt. He suddenly remembered that during the banquet, the Crown Prince deliberately did so, the Emperor wanted to say something but stopped, and the Empress was absent-minded. His heart skipped a beat.

"If it wasn't for me, you would have died in the throne room a long time ago. Now, how are you going to question me?"

Jun Liye, who could not say a word for a long time, caused Shuangyao to despise him even more. She sneered at him coldly.

"Nonsense! Your Highness has achieved great military achievements and is highly trusted by the Emperor. How could the Emperor lay his hands on you?" Wufeng supported Jun Liye, who was trembling, and stepped forward to block Shuangyao's line of sight.

Shuangyao lowered her eyelids and said coldly, "If it wasn't for them, how could I have succeeded? The pain you feel now is not even a thousandth of what the previous princess felt. How can you not be able to endure this little pain?"
