Alluring His Wife: The Evil King's Fifth Consort

Besides, the crown prince has sent me to your side, so the chances of meeting with Zhong Lixian everyday is very small. I"m afraid that once Zhong Lixian discovers us, we will be able to escape! Li Chutian s.n.a.t.c.hed the apple back from Wei Yuanwei"s hand.

"Flee?" When Wei Yuanwei heard this, she instantly felt that it was extremely funny.

When she was by Mu Jin"s side, she could have escaped if she was in a bad mood. But when she was by Zhong Lixian"s side, she didn"t even have the qualifications to escape.

Li Chu was startled, he had already planned to disguise himself to look like Little Yun Zi, and stay by Zhong Lixian"s side to pa.s.s on the news he had received.

But they did not expect that Wei Yuanwei was also here!

"What"s wrong? Sis, don"t you want to? " Doubt surfaced on Li Chu"s face.

"If I had been able to escape, I would have fled. Zhong Lixian tricked me into consuming a type of insect poison. I cannot leave him for a distance, or else I would be in extreme pain!" Wei Yuanwei said with sorrow.

"Gu poison?" When Li Chu heard this word, he was extremely shocked, "Zhong Lixian actually has such a thing?"

"That"s right!" Wei Yuanwei said indifferently.

"What Gu poison is it?" Li Chu hesitated for a moment, his expression was solemn.

"I won"t leave you alive!"

Just as Wei Yuanwei finished speaking, Li Chu"s pure pupils suddenly widened, as if she had seen something terrifying.

"What"s wrong?" Seeing Li Chu"s expression, Wei Yuanwei was sure that Li Chu knew what kind of poison it was.

"Zhong Lixian actually poisoned you with this poison?" Li Chu"s handsome face was full of anger, and his eyes were practically spitting fire.

"What"s wrong with this Gu poison?" Wei Yuanwei had a strong premonition that the strength of the insect poison was most likely far stronger than what Ning Zheyan and Zhong Lixian had imagined.

Li Chu turned his head, frowning with a childish look on his face, "This poison cannot be cured!"

"What do you mean?" Although Wei Yuanwei was already prepared for such an outcome, when he heard Li Chu"s definite answer, it was as if water was poured over her from the winter lake, causing her body to feel cold from top to bottom.

The longer the insect poison stays in you, the more your thoughts will be under Zhong Lixian"s control. At that time, no matter what he wants you to do, you will not resist at all, and will even completely listen to him! Li Chu could not bear to tell these words to Wei Yuanwei.

Wei Yuanwei"s straight figure slightly bent, his exquisite face was filled with despair. Like this, what was the difference between her and a puppet being played with?

To think she had even wanted to put Zhong Lixian under house arrest before. As long as Zhong Lixian didn"t die, she wouldn"t have to die either.

It seems that in the end, she still chose to perish together with Zhong Lixian.

"Is there no way to take the poison out of my body?" Wei Yuanwei asked unwillingly. Didn"t Ning Zheyan say that the pavilion master of the Heavenly Demon Pavilion could solve the problem?

"This Gu poison can only be taken out by the person who raises it, but this Gu poison is raised from human blood. If it is taken out, then the person who raises it will die!" The light in Li Chu"s clear eyes became thicker and colder.

Therefore, Li Chu was right to say that there was no cure, and the Gu poison in her body would probably not be extracted at all. Who in this world would sacrifice their own life to save someone else, let alone someone who was not related to them.

"Then how long will it take to completely control a person"s mind?" Wei Yuanwei sat on the bed, her face ashen.

It was impossible for her to become Zhong Lixian, so in the end, she would definitely perish together with Zhong Lixian.

"Controlling thoughts is a gradual and circular process, which is gradually controlling thoughts bit by bit. People involved wouldn"t be able to notice such a change. If it"s fast, it"s three months. If it"s slow, it"s half a year!" There was also sadness on Li Chu"s face as a vicious light quickly flashed in his eyes.

It was almost gone from the four nations and the nine prefectures. Even a few hundred years ago, no one in the hidden families would be able to produce this kind of poison, so why would Zhong Lixian have this kind of poison?

Half a year? Once Mu Jin and Zhong Lixian invaded Southern Yue, she would definitely kill Zhong Lixian and die together with him.

But the condition was that she would still be able to control her own thoughts. She was most afraid that by that time, her thoughts would already be slowly controlled by Zhong Lixian, but she wouldn"t be able to do it.

"Ah Sis, maybe Zhong Lixian lied to you, and never left this type of poison, Zhong Lixian is even harder to find than the Dragon and Tiger pattern jade pendant!" Li Chu comforted Wei Yuanwei, and hoped that she was the one who lied to him.

"You lied to me?" A flash of hope appeared in Wei Yuanwei"s eyes, but immediately after, he described his current appearance and the medicinal properties to Li Chu.

After hearing that, Li Chu"s face turned even paler, but he still held onto hope and said, "Up until now, you still haven"t felt any discomfort, right? If you want to know whether or not this is a life and death struggle, the only way is to let the poison in your body act up once. That way, you can determine if it is real or not, as this is a life and death poison. Many people know about its medicinal properties and what it looks like, so it is very easy to create one. "

Li Chu"s words gave the despairing Wei Yuanwei a sliver of hope. Even though this hope was somewhat slim, Wei Yuanwei still wanted to give it a try.

On the second day, the Imperial Palace, which should have been a joyous occasion, was shrouded in a layer of gloom.

The people of the palace were even more cautious than usual, afraid that if they were careless, they would attract a fatal disaster.

Zhong Lixian had not come back since the morning, all the way until lunch time.

The imperial harem was not allowed to interfere in the matters of the previous dynasty. As long as the emperor did not interfere, then the imperial harem would not be able to find out what had happened in the previous dynasty.

What Wei Yuanwei was most concerned about was how the Empress would deal with him, and whether or not Zhong Lixian"s position as crown prince would be destroyed.

If the empress had told him everything that happened that year, then Zhong Lixian"s ident.i.ty would undoubtedly change from a direct descendant to a concubine, and one that was born of a palace maid.

Although they were both princes of the Emperor, the gap between their background was extremely large.

In the ancient times, the Imperial Family had always believed in the successor. Now that Zhong Lixian was not the empress"s biological son, she naturally became a concubine, and Zhong Lixian was not his eldest son either. Thus, if the Emperor wanted to cripple Zhong Lixian, this reason was very sufficient.

It all depended on what the emperor was thinking.

"Miss Wei, the crown prince has asked us to bring you out of the palace. Please pack up and follow us out, okay?" Suddenly, two dark blue imperial bodyguards appeared outside the door, their expressions solemn and respectful.
