"The princess' medical skills are so great. As her husband, I have seen and heard them every day. I can only have this ability thanks to the princess's blessing."

Xiao Zhan coaxed Jiang Xue with a smile, while carefully putting away the golden needle and putting it aside.

"Okay, you'll just make me happy." After the pain disappeared, Jiang Xue felt much better. She patted his leg gently, and suddenly remembered Xiao Huan's malicious pupils before he fainted. The smile on her face gradually disappeared, and she asked him seriously, "By the way, what arrangements do you have for Xiao Huan?"

This time, the couple almost lost their lives, and they can't just let it go.

"Don't worry, I have arranged everything. Mo and Wenyuan are already working on it. I believe there will be good news tomorrow morning."

His warm big hand held her hand and squeezed it gently: "I have asked someone to send the pagoda grass to Doctor Xu. Ask him to study it carefully and prepare an antidote for you to clear the blood poison as soon as possible."

"Yeah." Jiang Xue nodded at his arrangement.

If she wasn't injured now, she could actually prepare the antidote herself. After all, her physique is different from that of ordinary people, and it would be very troublesome to let someone else prepare it.

Fortunately, Doctor Xu is one of our own, so I feel more at ease leaving the case to him than to someone else.

Early the next morning, just as the sky was getting light, Emperor Beiling and other princes in the enclosure returned to the hunting ground one after another.

With a horse, Emperor Beiling threw the three hares he had hunted on the road to the eunuch at the door, and sat proudly in the middle of the hunting ground.

The guards were busy bringing in the prey hunted by their masters one by one. Soon, the hunting ground was filled with all kinds of wild beasts.

Each master who participated in the hunting stood behind his prey in a straight line, and each prince's prey was covered with a layer of red cloth, waiting for Emperor Beiling to uncover it.

In order to hide his injuries, Xiao Zhan changed into a dark-colored outfit, looking more majestic and noble than usual.

Xiao Yun and Xiao Jin next to them also looked energetic.

In contrast, Xiao Huan and Jun Li had ugly expressions on their faces and stood there with tired looks.

The dark circles under their eyes revealed their fatigue from not sleeping all night, and the eerie vertical pupils made people feel even more chilling.

He squinted his eyes at Xiao Zhan beside him, and saw the red cloth in front of him almost collapsed. A mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It seems that the land in the north is really desolate. The harvest of the fourth brother is so meager."

Xiao Huan, who was originally very angry because he failed to kill Xiao Zhan personally this time, now feels much better.

It was really God's help. Although he couldn't kill Xiao Zhan himself before, he could use the excuse that the hunting expedition didn't yield much to ask Xiao Yan to deal with Xiao Zhan for him.

Thinking of this, Xiao Huan now couldn't wait for the adoption meeting to begin.

Jun Li kept staring at Jiang Xue and saw that the clothes she wore today were very different from usual. She chose a very dark-colored dress, mainly black with red edges, which made her look particularly noble and inviolable.

Moreover, she and Xiao Zhan wore the same color clothes in public. This blatant declaration of sovereignty made all the women present jealous and envious.

In Beiling, couples wear the same color to represent that they are the only one in each other's life.

Since the founding of Beiling, only two men have made such a promise to their wives in public in this way.

One is the present Xiao Zhan, and the other is the former second prince of Beiling, Xiao Yunjian.

This dress really hurt Jun Li's eyes, like a sharp sword piercing his heart.

Xiaoxue, how could you hurt my heart like this? How could you make such a promise to others?

This black outfit, like a catalyst, made Jun Li's hatred for Xiao Zhan and his possessiveness for Jiang Xue reach an almost crazy level.

"Let me see what our Beiling princes have harvested today."

Emperor Beiling swept his cold gaze across Xiao Zhan, and at a command, the guards lifted the red cloths that the princes had covered their prey with.

Because of the order, Xiao Huan's red cloth was unveiled before Xiao Zhan's.

Originally he was waiting happily to find fault with Xiao Zhan, but as soon as the red cloth was removed, Emperor Beiling became furious, rushed forward a few steps, and gave Xiao Huan a loud slap in the face.

Snapped.

A crisp sound rang out, and everyone present was stunned.

Xiao Huan turned his head and felt a burning pain on his face. There was a fishy taste in his mouth. When he opened his mouth, a tooth fell out.

His vertical pupils suddenly contracted, and a cold and sinister aura emanated from his body.

This strange atmosphere made the air around us chilly.

Emperor Beiling's heart began to beat fast because of the pair of vertical pupils staring at him.

But when he saw the prey under the red cloth, his anger rose again.

This unfilial son, don't think that he can do whatever he wants just by keeping him to deal with Xiao Zhan. If he is not taught a lesson today, he will really make a fuss.

"You evil creature, who told you to hunt fox spirits?" Emperor Beiling pointed at the four foxes that had died under the red cloth and roared:

"Hunters have three major taboos: don't hunt foxes, don't hunt turtles, and don't hunt snakes. These are spiritual animals. If you catch them, you will definitely be punished by God. But you killed four of them in one go. Four dead, don't you know this? Are you trying to destroy our Beiling?"

Ever since Xiao Yan became the Emperor of Beiling, there has been an unwritten rule: there are three kinds of animals that cannot be killed when hunting - foxes, turtles and snakes.

Among them, foxes rank first and are the number one protected object that must not be touched. Anyone who dares to violate this rule will definitely be severely punished.

This rule has never been made public because it is the result of Emperor Beiling's superstition in metaphysics.

In metaphysics, foxes are fox fairies and are particularly spiritual. Since they are the creatures of the fairies, how can they be slaughtered casually?

Besides, when Emperor Beiling was young, he killed a fox and had nightmares for a whole month, and couldn't sleep at night. Later, when he sneaked out of the palace to play, he met a Taoist priest, who told him to find the fox's body and perform a ritual for it, which made him sleep peacefully.

Because of this experience, Emperor Beiling firmly believed in metaphysics and revered foxes as gods.

Not many people in the whole Beiling knew about this, so when the Emperor of Beiling got furious because of the four dead foxes, everyone was a little confused.

Xiao Huan followed the direction of Emperor Beiling's finger and saw the four dead foxes neatly lined up under the red cloth.

Clearly, he had spent the whole night hunting wild boars and rabbits, so where did the fox come from? How could these animals appear among his prey?

He thought about it, and suddenly turned his gaze to Xiao Zhan who was standing upright beside him.

It was him. Xiao Huan immediately understood that it must be Xiao Zhan's doing.

"Why are you looking at him? I'm talking to you now."

Seeing that Xiao Huan ignored him and kept staring at Xiao Zhan, Emperor Beiling felt embarrassed and became even angrier.
