“Even if she is sent to Beiling, the decision should be made by the Beiling royal family. Princess Changle is from Qian Kingdom and does not have this right.” Chu Feimo’s face became increasingly gloomy.

"Xiaoxue is about to become the Queen of Beiling. She certainly has the right to participate in decision-making on such matters." Xiao Zhan waved his hand to signal the guards to present the edict to confer the title of Queen, ready to read it out in public.

In the court, the ministers and Chu Feimo were all shocked.

Just as everyone was shocked, a fully wrapped man walked out from behind Chu Feimo and looked directly at Jiang Xue.

Although his face was covered, those eyes made Jiang Xue feel uneasy. This was Qu Shang!

It's him!

The traitor who was expelled from the Five Poison Sect, Qu Shang.

Ever since Qu Shang injured Xiao Yunjian, Jiang Xue has been looking for him, but she didn't expect that he would be hanging out with Chu Feimo.

Xiao Zhan was surprised that Chu Feimo would join forces with such a person.

Qu Shang was about to speak but was interrupted by a guard.

"Your Majesty, Qiu Qianhuan is back."

Hearing this, Qu Shang frowned. This guy actually came back alive? He really didn't deserve to die. The one he sent out was the top assassin of the Red Moon Sect, but he didn't kill him.

Jiang Xue was pleasantly surprised to learn that Qiu Qianhuan had returned safely. After exchanging a glance with Xiao Zhan, she immediately announced the end of the party, and the two quickly walked towards the back hall.

"Don't move." As soon as I stepped into the yard, I heard Qu Xin's voice.

When he entered the room, he saw Qiu Qianhuan tied up, with silver needles sticking all over his body.

There were several poisonous insects wriggling on his chest, some even burrowing into his flesh. Their bodies were trembling slightly, as if they were sucking blood.

"What are you doing?" If Jiang Xue didn't know Qu Xin's style of doing things, she would have ordered an arrest based on what she saw just now.

This girl, when will she be able to use normal methods to treat people?

His whole body is full of poison. If not treated in time, he will die once the poison breaks out.

Qu Xin rolled her eyes helplessly. She had kindly taken out the ice silk silkworms she had carefully raised to save the people, but this girl not only did not say a word of thanks, but got angry with her instead.

Jiang Xue was shocked when she heard this, and quickly stepped forward to grab Qiu Qianhuan's wrist and examine it carefully.

Indeed, his body was full of poisonous insects, and these tiny life forms were spread in his blood in the form of insect eggs.

If it weren't for the careful snow silkworms that removed them, Qiu Qianhuan might not have survived more than two days.

"How come there are so many poisons in your body?" Jiang Xue asked anxiously.

Enduring the pain, Qiu Qianhuan explained, "I found the herbs and was about to return overnight when I was ambushed by the Red Moon Cult assassins. I was outnumbered and eventually fell into the trap."

"Qu Shang..." Jiang Xue clenched her fists, shocked by the man's cruelty.

Xiao Zhan pondered for a moment and said, "Qu Shang doesn't want father to wake up."

"In order to avenge his master for changing the trajectory of his fate, Qu Shang did everything he could." Jiang Xue said softly, "But I always feel that there are other purposes behind this."

At this time, Qu Xin noticed that Qiu Qianhuan came back empty-handed, and asked in confusion: "You said you were going to get medicine, where is the medicine?"

"I'm sorry, it was lost in the battle." Qiu Qianhuan said with a guilty look on his face.

Suddenly, a maid came hurriedly and handed over a letter, "Princess, please take a look."

When the envelope was opened, a few leaves fell out, emitting a strong medicinal aroma. Jiang Xue's face suddenly changed, and she immediately asked, "Where is the person who sent the letter?"

Seeing this, Xiao Zhan also became nervous: "Xiaoxue, what happened?"

"I don't know..." The maid answered tremblingly, obviously frightened by the sudden situation.

The palace maid trembled with fear and responded incoherently: "Yun Che, I have to go out for a while, you keep an eye on Qiu Qianhuan."

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Xue hurriedly left the palace with Xiaochun Fudong and headed straight for the inn.

"High Priest, Princess Changle has arrived." In the inn, Qu Shang leisurely crossed his legs and tapped his fingers on the table.

After hearing the announcement, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he turned to Chu Feimo and smiled: "Your Highness, do you think I was right? As soon as the letter is sent out, she will definitely come."

Chu Feimo also smiled, but his eyes were filled with coldness and cunning, "The high priest's plan is indeed brilliant."

Jiang Xue stepped into the trap-like inn, secretly alert.

As soon as she entered the room, Jiang Xue immediately asked, "Where is Qu Shang?"

Before the steward could speak, a burly figure came towards them, "Princess Changle, please follow me."

Li Yi looked at Jiang Xue carefully, wondering: Is she the one who made Qu Shang work so hard?

I thought she was a very important person, but now it seems that she is not special. Her martial arts skills are mediocre, and even the maids beside her seem to be better than her. In Li Yi's eyes, she is vulnerable.

"Who are you?" Jiang Xue narrowed her eyes, feeling the malice in the other person's gaze.

This person exuded a strong murderous aura, which made her instinctively alert. More importantly, his aura was similar to that of the alchemist she had met before, but also different.

"You are an alchemist." Jiang Xue expressed her judgment without hesitation.

"Interesting, you have a keen observation." Li Yi sneered, and his previous contempt disappeared in an instant, replaced by a bit of admiration.

After all, there weren't many people who could see through his identity so quickly.

"What on earth did Qu Shang do?" Li Yi muttered to himself.

The aura of the man in front of him was much stronger than any Danshi he had seen before, and his skin was not pale and bloodless like that of ordinary Danshi. Instead, he had a strong physique and was full of energy.

Does this person have an extraordinary lifespan?

Just as Li Yi was thinking, a golden needle with a thin thread pierced his wrist like lightning. When he noticed it, the golden needle had quickly withdrawn.

"Princess." Xiaochun screamed, then drew her sword to block Li Yi's attack on Jiang Xue, sparks flying everywhere.

Hearing the noise, Qu Shang walked out of the house and saw Li Yi confronting Xiaochun downstairs.

Although Xiaochun was not as strong as Li Yi, she tried her best to protect Jiang Xue and did not let the other party get close to her.

Qu Shang frowned. These two maids became an obstacle and he had to find a way to solve the problem.

Hearing Qu Shang's voice, Li Yi looked up at the man exuding an evil aura, his lips slightly raised, and then he withdrew his attack.

If the stalemate continues, Xiaochun will soon run out of energy.

As Li Yi withdrew his hand, Xiaochun finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fudong looked at the tall figure in front of him with a serious expression, his heart tightened, and he handed an exquisite dice to the inn manager beside him without making a sound.

Then, Li Yi jumped to Qu Shang's side, quietly put his arms around his waist out of everyone's sight, and tried to whisper in his ear, but Qu Shang dodged in disgust.

Seeing this, a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in Li Yi's eyes. He increased the strength in his hands, causing Qu Shang to frown.

"You..." Qu Shang glared at him angrily.

"If you can be a little better, I will naturally treat you more gently. Or do you want everyone to see how I hold you in my arms?" Li Yi threatened with a sneer.
