C370 (1/2)

The empress was so angry that she trembled, unable to utter a complete sentence.

Xiao Hanqi then quickly moved his gaze back to the palace maids whose acupoints were sealed, and finally, his gaze fixed on the palace maids by the empress's side.

The palace maid briefly explained about what had just happened. The more she listened, the darker Xiao Hanqi's expression became.

The hand under his sleeve tightened little by little, and the hostility in his eyes became more and more intense.

Xiao Hanqi ordered the palace maids to pack up as soon as possible, and after persuading the empress a few more times, he quickly left the palace.

When the carriage was about to leave Prince Chu’s Mansion, Xiao Hanqi ordered the carriage driver to stop.

Since Wei Qing dared to cause trouble in the Yi Kun Palace so blatantly, then even if she were to run over and denounce her for her crimes, she would definitely try to quibble.

Right now, Xiao Qingqian was even more highly regarded by royal father, and with Wei Qing as his support, he could not fight them head on.

After frowning for a moment, he asked the carriage driver to turn around and the guards to find out where Long Xiaotian was.

After making up his mind, Xiao Hanqi decided to use a ”coincidence”.

With just a glance, he could tell that Xiao Hanqi wanted to join hands with him.

Originally, he could have toppled Xiao Qingqian with his own strength. However, Xiao Hanqi had come straight to his doorstep and was full of sincerity. With such a good opportunity right in front of him, he naturally wouldn't miss it.

”Crown Prince, you mean to say that you want to form an alliance with this prince?” Long Xiaotian raised his eyebrows and asked.

”The Second Prince has always kept a low profile in the Xie Jing all these years. The Second Prince is the one who has truly done great things!” Xiao Hanqi naturally could not avoid a flurry of flattery.

Long Xiaotian curled his lips, ”Crown Prince, you flatter me.”

”I am only speaking the truth! This Xie Jing will definitely become the treasure of the Second Prince in the future! ”

These words made Long Xiaotian extremely happy, but he did not show it on the surface. He then picked up the teacup and shook it a few times before taking a bite out of it. ”Crown Prince, you shouldn't speak carelessly of this.”

This time, Xiao Hanqi was asking for it, and took the initiative to place it in his hands. If he was able to get what he wanted so easily, he would definitely not be grateful.

”I'm not spouting nonsense.” Xiao Hanqi thought that Long Xiaotian would definitely make the wisest decision.

”This prince still has other things to do, so he'll be leaving first.”

Hearing that, Xiao Hanqi's face completely froze, and when he regained his senses, Long Xiaotian had already left.

He became more and more puzzled, and was even a little angry, thinking that Long Xiaotian was simply pretending to be tall and proper with him.

He raised the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea.

He had wanted to pour the tea into his mouth, but as soon as the tea entered his mouth, a bitter taste gushed out of his mouth.

”Truly, they are all beast races that are hard to get along with.” Xiao Hanqi flung his words angrily, flicked his sleeves, and left.

Not long after he left, a shadow quickly flashed into the room. It took a sip of tea on the table and quickly left.

Prince Chu’s Mansion.

Even though the Yi Kun Palace already knew that Wei Qing wasn't injured, Xiao Qingqian still wasn't at ease. The moment he entered the chamber, he rolled up her sleeves and very carefully examined her body.

The corner of Wei Qing's mouth twitched, ”Do you want me to strip you naked and let you inspect it carefully?”

She had secretly prepared those powder for use just in case.

”Those palace maids were all poisoned by your powder and became silly. They relied on a bit of brute force for their work.”

”So?” She raised her eyebrows.

”I'm not sure you didn't notice it before.”

”You mean …” Wei Qing suddenly went closer boldly, her eyes filled with emotion: ”You really want me to take off my clothes?”

Ever since Tian Sisi told him that the two of them had been infected by a parasite, Xiao Qingqian had been suppressing herself. This time, how could she bear Wei Qing's teasing?
