Chapter 7 The Orphans of Jiangmen
Soon after, the second prince's mansion, above the main hall.
A graceful and luxurious woman sat upright, wearing a phoenix hairpin on her head and wearing a phoenix robe, and she did not speak, but she could make people feel a strong aura of superiority.
Looking at her eyes carefully, under a pair of beautiful eyes, there is a vicious killing intent hidden.
"Cheng'er, five years ago, it was our soft-heartedness that made him Taoguang obscure for so many years, this time, we have to kill him no matter what!"
Xiao Guifei's voice was like ice.
"Please rest assured, tomorrow the royal family competition, I will definitely split him with my own hands!"
Zhou Cheng raised his fist, a smug smile on his face.
"Cheng'er, he first abolished Zhao Wu, and then defeated Zhou Nan, although he only has the cultivation of the early stage of foundation building, but it is still not to be underestimated, this competition is related to when you ascend to the throne of the prince!"
Concubine Xiao advised patiently, worrying about Zhou Cheng.
She regretted that she should have killed Zhou Xuan five years ago, so that there would not be so many troubles now.
"Concubine Niangniang, you don't have to worry. ”
At this time, Zhao Wan, who was sitting next to Zhou Cheng, stood up and said with a smile in her eyes: "The second prince has broken through to the middle stage of foundation building, and he is the one who has the highest cultivation among all the princes!"
And the second prince also practiced the advanced martial arts taught by the lord himself, the chaotic stone hammer method, to Xiaocheng, and it was easy to defeat Zhou Xuan. ”
Zhou Cheng laughed, in front of Xiao Guifei, without caring about her image, she hugged Zhao Wan on her lap and hugged her into her arms, and the other hand roamed around her irregularly.
"Queen Mother, Wan'er is right, my cultivation is to crush everyone, and I am supplemented by the chaotic stone hammer method, it is easy to kill him a little Zhou Xuan!"
Since breaking through to the middle stage of foundation building, Zhou Cheng has been arrogant and has no one in his eyes.
"Wan'er congratulates the second prince in advance on winning the championship in one fell swoop!"
Zhao Wan's body trembled slightly, but she did not refuse Zhou Cheng, but greeted her with a smile.
Concubine Xiao pursed her lips, and after a moment of silence, she took out a small emerald green bottle from her arms and ordered: "Wan'er, you and Zhou Xuan have had a marriage contract, and after so many years of relationship, he must not be very wary of you." ”
"The Heart Devouring Pill contained in this, if you give it to him, you will say that it is an elixir for gaining cultivation. ”
Heart-Eater Pill!
Hearing these three words, Zhao Wan looked stunned.
Heart-devouring pill is colorless and tasteless, and within a day, the user will feel the burning heart, and the heart will seem to be pinched and exploded by a big hand, and finally die of pain.
Even if the body is finally dissected, there is no clue.
"It's still the queen mother's thoughtfulness!"
Zhou Chengli brought the small green bottle, put it on Zhao Wan's chest, and then slid it into her collar.
"Wan'er, Zhao Wu is also a member of your Zhao family, don't you want to avenge him?"
"As long as you finish this matter, I can assure you that the Zhao clan will be prosperous and wealthy for generations. ”
Xiao Guifei pressed step by step, and all she said was good words and promises, but Zhao Wan could hear that although Xiao Guifei didn't say those cruel words, she knew it very well in her heart.
"Okay, I'll just do it. ”
Zhao Wan nodded.
At the same time, outside the main hall, a woman in armor changed her expression drastically, and walked out in three steps and two steps.
"Princess Chenyang, don't you want to see the second prince?"
Suddenly, the housekeeper of the Second Prince's Mansion saw that she was leaving, and hurriedly asked.
"It's gone!"
Yang Qingzhu was afraid of being stopped, so she immediately left the Emperor's mansion while the second prince didn't know that she had overheard everything outside the door just now.
After leaving, Yang Qingzhu ran all the way, and finally found Zhou Xuan, who was practicing swords, under the dead tree.
"Brother Zhou Xuan!"
"Qingzhu?"
Zhou Xuan was slightly surprised, put away his sword and stood up.
Many years ago, Yang Qingzhu's parents and brothers were killed on the battlefield, and only Yang Qingzhu was left, so she was named Princess Chenyang by the lord of the country.
Her status in the Great Zhou Dynasty is not low, and she can almost be on par with the prince.
But Zhou Xuan's relationship with her was just that he played from childhood to adulthood, and later grew up, and after he made a marriage contract with Zhao Wan, he gradually faded in contact.
"Brother Zhou Xuan, I went to the Second Prince's Mansion just now, and I wanted to borrow the Holy Spirit Bead from the Second Prince, but I overheard them talking about how to harm you!"
"Hurt me?"
"Yes! Zhou Cheng's cultivation has broken through to the middle stage of foundation building, and he has practiced the Chaotic Stone Hammer Method to Xiaocheng, but they still don't worry about you, so Concubine Xiao Guifei gave Zhao Wan a Heart Devouring Pill and asked her to trick you into taking the Heart Devouring Pill!"
"Wan'er can't harm me!"
Zhou Xuan denied it!
Yang Qingzhu was about to explain, but suddenly saw Zhao Wan running from a distance, with a happy smile on her face, and her voice was extremely intimate, "Brother Zhou Xuan." ”
"Wan'er, you've come to see me. ”
Zhou Xuan's expression froze, but he quickly smiled.
The last time they met at the Martial Arts Pavilion, Zhou Xuan could clearly feel Zhao Wan's indifference from thousands of miles away.
At that time, Zhou Xuan could understand, after all, Zhao Wan could only alienate Zhou Xuan in order to protect the Zhao family.
But today, her intimate and ambiguous attitude, once it reaches the ears of the second prince, the consequences will be very serious.
"Well, Princess Chenyang is also there. ”
Zhao Wan saluted Yang Qingzhu, and then got straight to the point, "Brother Zhou Xuan, I know that you will definitely participate in tomorrow's royal competition, so I specially asked for this elixir that can improve cultivation from my father, you can take it quickly." ”
Zhao Wan took out the green bottle and handed it to Zhou Xuan with a smile.
"What kind of pill is in it, and it actually enhances cultivation? I want to see it!"
Yang Qingzhu knew that it contained the Heart Devouring Pill, so he immediately reached out to grab it.
"Thank you Wan'er!"
Zhou Xuan shot ahead of her and took the green bottle.
"I don't know exactly what kind of elixir is in the bottle, but my father has always regarded it as a treasure, and threatened to improve his cultivation and break through the bottleneck, I wasted a lot of effort to come!"
"Brother Zhou Xuan, you hurry up and take it, and strive to perform well in the royal competition tomorrow!"
The smile on Zhao Wan's face did not decrease, and she kept urging Zhou Xuan to obey.
The more she was like this, the more worried Yang Qingzhu became, looking at Zhou Xuan with blank eyes, not wanting him to take that Heart Devouring Pill stupidly!
"Okay, I'll take it. ”
Zhou Xuan smiled and poured out the Heart Devouring Pill in the green bottle, put it in the palm of his hand, put it in his mouth in front of Zhao Wan, and swallowed it.
"You're crazy!"
Yang Qingzhu was taken aback.
Zhou Xuan stopped Yang Qingzhu with one hand, looked at Zhao Wan with a smile, and said, "Wan'er, thank you for your elixir, I'm going to hurry up my cultivation now, if there is nothing else, you can go back first." ”
"Good!"
Seeing Zhou Xuan take the Heart Devouring Pill with her own eyes, Zhao Wan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and under the hypocritical smile, there was a vicious heart hidden, and she immediately turned around and left.
"That's the Heart Devouring Pill! In less than a day, you will die of pain, you hurry up and regulate your breathing, suppress the toxin, and I will immediately help you find an antidote!"
Yang Qingzhu was frightened, and her anxious appearance was more like she had taken the Heart Devouring Pill herself.
