"Princess Changle, I am an envoy of the Xiyong royal family. Even if you are a princess, you cannot touch me casually." Fang Rong struggled and shouted.

But Mo Tian's strength was far beyond his, and he was quickly subdued.

"Who said I was going to attack you?" Jiang Xue smiled slightly, her eyes cold, "I just want to ask you something, there's no need to be so scared."

Then, Mo Tian covered Fang Rong's mouth and dragged him out of the room. Looking at this scene, Yun Yan expressed her concerns with gestures: the Fang family would never give up.

"That's exactly why I want to keep Fang Rong." Jiang Xue responded firmly.

She wanted to know what tricks the Fang family could come up with when faced with challenges.

"So what are you going to do?" At this time, Cui Shuji came out, stood beside Yunyan and asked Jiang Xue.

This woman looked gentle, but the scene of her subduing Fang Rong just now made Cui Shuji realize that she was not simple.

When he was in Xiyong, he heard the story of Princess Changle, because her ability was limited to relying on others.

However, after seeing with his own eyes how easily she controlled Fang Rong and made him surrender with just a few brief words, Cui Shu himself realized the truth of the rumor.

Facing Jiang Xue, he couldn't help but feel a sense of respect in his heart.

In the basement, Mo Tian personally guarded Fang Rong.

Jiang Xue walked in, and Mo Tian bowed respectfully: "Princess."

"Yeah." Jiang Xue nodded in response and turned her gaze to Fang Rong, "He's still not willing to speak?"

Mo Tian shook his head: "I didn't say a word."

"The Fang family guards have been trained since childhood, and their loyalty is comparable to your loyalty to me." Xiao Zhan looked at her and said, "It may not be easy to get them to reveal their secrets."

"No hurry." Jiang Xue smiled slightly, "Information is not only obtained from the mouth."

Xiao Zhan understood what she meant and nodded in agreement: "Indeed. According to the character of the Fang family, now that Fang Rong has been arrested, they will take action soon."

"Okay, Mo Tian, ​​arrange for someone to closely monitor the Fang family's movements."

"As you wish, Princess."

The next morning, Yunyan woke up early due to pregnancy discomfort and vomited continuously during breakfast, which made Cui Shuji very distressed.

"Princess, is there any way to make Yunyan feel more comfortable?" After cleaning the room, Cui Shuji asked Jiang Xue for help.

"She is pregnant and has too many toxins in her body. I wouldn't dare use medicine easily even if I had a way," Jiang Xue explained.

Taking into account the possible side effects of the medicine and Yunyan's fragile physical condition, she has painstakingly prepared a prescription that can repair the vocal cords without affecting the fetus, and has asked someone to boil it.

In order not to worry everyone, Yunyan forced herself to be calm and used gestures to show that she was fine, despite feeling very uncomfortable.

Seeing how considerate she was of other people's feelings, Jiang Xue loved her even more.

She really didn't understand what Chu Jingming was planning. Even if he wanted to win over the Fang family, he wouldn't let Yunyan suffer the same torture as Fang Susu!

For the first time, Jiang Xue was dissatisfied with Chu Jingming. She handed Yunyan a plate of sour plums and said, "Eat some of this first. Your morning sickness is more severe than others, and your pregnancy will be more difficult."

Yunyan took the sour plums and her brows relaxed a little. Pregnancy changed her taste. The sour taste that she didn't like before became her favorite now. She ate one after another and felt that the chest tightness she had just felt was relieved a lot.

At this time, the maid brought a bowl of freshly brewed medicine and stood respectfully beside the bed, "Princess, your medicine is ready."

"Yeah." Jiang Xue gently stroked Yunyan's back, helped her calm down, then stood up and took the bowl of medicine.

Hot steam floated into her nostrils. The maid secretly saw Jiang Xue scooping up and pouring back the medicine soup repeatedly with a spoon, as if testing the temperature.

After confirming that the medicine temperature was appropriate, Jiang Xue said, "You've worked hard."

The maid was stunned by the sudden gentle words, and she realized that they were directed at her.

"It's not hard. This is what I should do." The maid responded quickly.

Jiang Xue looked down at her with a stern look in her eyes: "Since boiling the medicine is your responsibility, is it also your responsibility to poison the medicine?"

The maid raised her head in horror, just in time to meet Jiang Xue's cold gaze.

"Poison?" When Cui Shuji heard this, his face suddenly changed and he quickly stood in front of Yunyan.

The maid reached behind her to take out the dagger hidden at her waist, but suddenly her wrist hurt, followed by a scream. A severed hand and a dagger were left on the ground.

At the door, Xiao Zhan leaned against the door frame, looked at the scene and said calmly: "Tie Yi, you were a little too heavy-handed."

Tieyi withdrew his hand, stood beside Xiao Zhan, and looked at his master with an innocent face.

He muttered in his heart: Didn't you just say you wanted to cut off her hand? Why did I really do it, but you said I was too cruel?

“Yun Che, stop teasing Tie Yi.” Jiang Xue couldn’t help but laugh at Tie Yi’s expression.

"There are still a lot of people waiting for us outside. Tieyi, go and deal with them." She glanced at the eaves and found several dark shadows lurking there.

The corner of Tieyi's mouth twitched slightly.

If His Highness doesn't bully me, does that mean the Princess will bully me?

There are at least twenty people outside, and he has to deal with them all by himself... This really makes people want to cry.

Seeing Tieyi about to cry, Xiao Zhan couldn't help laughing. "Don't be so sad. Once this is done, I will hold a wedding for Xiaochun and you when we get back home."

Hearing this, Tieyi immediately perked up. "Yes, sir!"

"This guy is really straightforward." Jiang Xue saw Tieyi rushing out without hesitation and shook her head with a smile.

As the sound of weapons clashing could be heard outside, the room began to get busy.

Jiang Xue faced the female assassin who was covering her wrist and groaning in pain. She grabbed her chin with one hand and forced a bowl of medicine into her mouth.

"Ugh!" The female assassin struggled to resist, but Jiang Xue was familiar with the vital points of the human body, and a light touch made her unable to move, so she was forced to swallow the whole bowl of medicine.

A violent coughing fit ensued, nearly suffocating her.

"Ah! It hurts!" Not long after, the woman began to feel weak all over, curled up on the ground and wailed. Her skin began to rot, and her originally pretty face quickly became unrecognizable, the scene was shocking.

Soon, the female assassin began to spurt blood from her mouth and her body twitched continuously. During this spasm, the hairpin on her head fell off. It was a hairpin made of two parts, which broke after falling to the ground, revealing a small piece of paper hidden inside.

Jiang Xue picked up the note on the ground, her eyes cold: "Fang Susu really did everything she could to deal with Yunyan."

It was clearly written on the note that Fang Susu had made a deal with the Blood Poison Cult in exchange for a poison called "Bone Dissolving Powder".

"Bone-dissolving powder." Jiang Xue handed the note to Xiao Zhan, then looked at the mass of flesh that was twitching on the ground.

Originally a human face, now only blurred flesh and blood remains, as the bones have been completely corroded.
