On the wedding night, the substitute princess cured the war king's poison

Li Xuan snorted coldly, "Excuse me, first tell me what happened to the thunder today?"

Qiyue told the truth: "That was because I almost revealed the secret of heaven, and heaven wanted to punish me, so I ran away."

I still feel scared when I think about it now.

Li Xuan naturally didn't believe what he said, and said with a mocking look on his face, "You are too conceited, who do you think you are to deserve the attention of the Heavenly Dao?"

"If you lie, you will be struck by lightning."

"I am indeed not a human being." July admitted truthfully.

He really wanted to confess that he was a spirit snake that had been cultivating for thousands of years and that he had once been your mount.

It’s just that my master, you have come down to earth and your memory has been wiped by heaven, so you don’t recognize me.

But, this secret cannot be revealed.

The two people on the high seat laughed when they heard him say that he was not a human being, and thought that July's words were flattering and amusing.

Seeing their faces full of joking, Qi Yue thought for a moment and said, "If I tell you something accurate, King Liang should believe me."

"Speak." Li Xuan said patiently.

"Prince Liang would shrink his head when he went to bed every day. This is a habit he has had since birth."

After July finished speaking, Duke Xu's laughter stopped abruptly and he was shocked.

Only he and his sister, Concubine Liang, knew this secret.

When Prince Liang was born, there was a halo of scales on his body, which disappeared after a moment. It is said that the halo looked like a tortoise shell, which stunned the midwife who was delivering the baby.

It was thought to be a good sign, but when the emperor was invited to see, the baby was sleeping with its head buried deep in his chest and could not be pried open. Not only was his posture ugly, but it also looked weird and creepy.

What’s even more bizarre is that later on, when he was sleeping soundly every day, his neck would involuntarily shrink.

Like a turtle's breathing.

What can a reincarnated turtle do?

This made the emperor very disgusted.

Therefore, Li Xuan was sent to his fiefdom when he was young.

His mother was afraid that other women would discover this strange phenomenon when sleeping with Prince Liang and tell others, so she did not allow her son to get close to women. She had decided in her heart that her niece would be the Prince Liang's concubine, and planned to propose marriage after she reached the age of 15.

But later on, Duke Xu felt that Prince Liang's fiefdom was too far away and said that his daughter was still young, so the marriage was put on hold for the time being.

Li Xuan himself did not know that he had such a habit, and shouted angrily, "Nonsense, how come I don't know that I behave like this when I sleep?"

"King Liang, please be patient and let me ask him." Duke Xu spoke up and changed the subject.

"Qiyue, do you have what it takes to become King Liang's staff member?"

"I can give you some advice."

Qi Yue paused, and said to Li Xuan in a serious tone: "Your Highness should not fight for the throne in this life. Your important task is to marry the girl of destiny. I have already mentioned it to you. If you marry her, you will have everything."

The current emperor has been possessed by a gluttonous beast. Anyone who tries to seize the throne is seeking death.

Li Xuan sneered disdainfully, "I can fight for that position with my own ability, why should I rely on a woman?"

"If you don't marry her, you will regret it for the rest of your life." Qiyue reminded him solemnly, "Marrying her is your obsession in this life."

"Nonsense, this king has never been obsessed with a woman!"

Li Xuan has never been attracted to a woman in his life.

In addition, his mother accompanied him to his fiefdom and disciplined him very strictly, so much so that any maid who deliberately approached him was beaten to death with sticks.

If there is anyone I like, it is Dr. Luo whom I met when I returned to Kyoto.

But he is a man.

Moreover, compared with his ambition to become an emperor, Dr. Luo was not that important.

Duke Xu was more patient and asked Qiyue, "Is that woman a noble lady?"

"Yes." July nodded in confirmation.

Duke Xu asked again, "Is it the daughter of a military officer or a civil official?"

Qiyue said: "From the general's family."

After hearing this, Li Xuan became more interested. With his status as a prince, it would not be difficult for him to marry the daughter of a military general.

Military generals have military power, so after they marry their daughters, their father-in-law will definitely give them all the support they can.

There is also a greater chance of winning the throne.

He quickly searched for the names of several generals in his mind.

At this time, I naturally thought of the Ning family I had just visited.

Minister of War, daughter of Ning Qingfeng.

If his daughter's engagement with Dr. Luo was called off, he could go and ask for her hand in marriage.

But, in this case, will Dr. Luo be angry?

"Which family's daughter is she?" Duke Xu continued to ask July, his expression slightly gloomy.

He would not agree with King Liang marrying another woman as his concubine.

His daughter Xu Ruolan is already sixteen years old and is waiting to be married. This time, Prince Liang has returned to the capital to compete for the throne. How can he let others take advantage of her?

Unexpectedly, Qiyue said, "That person is exactly the person that the prince is thinking of at this moment."

July used mind reading on a small scale and had read Li Xuan's thoughts just now.

When Li Xuan heard this, a hint of shock flashed in his eyes, and then he slowly calmed down.

He frowned and asked calmly, "Do you have any other skills?"

Qiyue thought for a moment and asked, "Does poisoning count?"

Li Xuan nodded, "Okay, but don't let others get hold of it."

"No, but I can't abuse this ability. I can only poison dogs, birds and people without roots."

"Stop talking nonsense, go down." Li Xuan waved his hand impatiently.

"Yes." Qiyue reminded again, "King Liang can only marry this woman in his life. He must respect her and love her. He must not provoke other women, otherwise his plan will fail."

"Got it." Li Xuan was skeptical, "Go to the East Courtyard and listen to the order."

"Yes."

After July left, Duke Xu asked Li Xuan, "Who is the woman that the prince is thinking about?"
