Chapter 225: A Coldness Poison
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When Nian Kui saw the crown prince appeared, he fearfully grew limp on the ground.
The other two people were even worse. After the immobilization talisman’s effect wore off, they knelt down with a plop and prostrated themselves before the crown prince, not daring to raise their heads a single inch.
“Your Highness, Your… AH!” Nian Kui let out a horrific scream and rolled on the ground back and forth while clutching his head.
Qiao Mu accepted the strand of soul that the crown prince handed to her, a strange smile imperceptibly appearing on her face.
“Search his body.” Qiao Mu expressionlessly ordered. Before Ao Ye could burst out, Hidden Flower and Huifeng fell over each other to run to Nian Kui and boorishly kicked him twice before turning him onto his back to search him.
Soon, a small box was being handed to the little miss.
The crown prince solemnly stared at the box in her hand.
“You know their master?” Qiao Mu turned to look at him.
It was obvious that these three people were acting on someone’s order. Since they recognize the crown prince, there was an 80% chance that they came from Guanlan City.
“Hui’an from the Vassal King of An’nan’s Estate. Her ancestors embarked on the campaign to conquer the world with the former king, so they were bestowed with a hereditary title of ‘Vassal King’ despite being a non-royal clan.” Dark clouds shrouded the crown prince’s eyes.
Great job to Hui’an indeed! He really had no idea she sent a medicinal pill here to secretly harm his Xiao Qiaoqiao.
Qiao Mu opened the box and saw a red pill with a strangely sweet scent laying inside the box. She was about to pick it up when the crown prince grabbed her hand to stop her.
“It’s merely a Coldness Poison pill, it won’t harm me.” Qiao Mu snorted and picked up the pill between two fingers. She brought it near her nose to smell it before scoffing in contempt, “What shoddy medicine manufacturing methods.”
“After ingesting it and the poison enters the body, the coldness poisoning effects will build up as the victim grows older. The victim’s health will also grow poorer.” From then on, the victim would be in so much pain that she wished for death whenever her period came every month until the coldness poison completely corroded her body without a sign The victim would have tremendous difficulty becoming pregnant for the rest of her life.
The crown prince snatched the pill from the child’s hand and flicked it. Hidden Flower slapped Nian Kui in tacit understanding, causing Nian Kui to open his mouth wide in pain and receive the coldness poison pill.
Then, Huifeng punched him and made Nian Kui swallow the pill without room for protest.
Qiao Mu wanted to laugh.
This coldness poison pill was not that effective against a man.
“Kill those two and leave him behind to return and make a report.” Qiao Mu’s lips slightly turned up, and she sent Nian Kui a meaningful look.
For some reason, Nian Kui involuntarily shuddered, and his pupils contracted in fear.
Hidden Flower cheerfully killed the two worms and stepped on the back of Nian Kui’s waist. “Why aren’t you scramming already?”
Nian Kui started before staggeringly escaping in a flurry with a body full of injuries.
After watching the man disappear into the distance, the crown prince lifted the child higher and met her eyes. “What’s your plan?”
The child whispered a few words to him. Although she was quiet, Hidden Flower and the other guards could still hear her clearly and secretly peeked at the child like she was a strange creature.
“Will there be any trouble?”
“There won’t be.” When the crown prince heard her, he was in good spirits. “Hidden Flower.”
Hidden Flower and the other guards were suppressing the urge to allow their chins to drop to the ground from shock. When Hidden Flower heard the crown prince, he hastily ran up and intuitively took out a white jade tablet and handed it to the little miss with both hands.
What a finely engraved jade messenger tablet.
Qiao Mu accepted it and flipped it over to look at its back. There was a dark red “Hidden” and a fiercely black “Night” carved onto the back.
“This is the universal jade messenger tablet used by both Hidden Pavilion and Night Pavilion. Simply write down any news that you want to know on it,” the crown prince said with a smile.
Qiao Mu nodded and put it away silently. When Hidden Flower handed her the special jade pen for the tablet, Qiao Mu waved her hand in negation.
She had the gold-beaded talisman pen, so she naturally did not need any other pen.
Hidden Flower glanced at the crown prince in incomprehension. When he saw the crown prince nod at him, he put away the jade pen.
