“To be able to plant a Gu in the Third Prince's Consort, this person seems to have some connection with the Imperial Family.”
Qin Xuan pondered, while looking strangely at the Third Prince's Consort.
Did the Third Prince's Consort not even know that a Gu had been planted in her body?
Or was the Third Prince's Consort deliberately getting close despite knowing?
“It’s probably related to the Second Prince. You’re now famous and have become a sought-after figure in the entire capital.”
“If you publicly join the Third Prince at this time, it would be a major blow to the Second Prince. They definitely won’t let you have your way.”
“What is the greatest hatred in this world? Nothing more than the hatred of killing one’s father and the hatred of having one’s wife taken. If something truly happened between you and the Third Prince’s Consort, under the watchful eyes of everyone, do you think you could still live?”
“Moreover, since a Gu has been planted in the Third Prince’s Consort’s body, if something really happened between you and the Third Prince’s Consort, I’m afraid…”
Han Ye’s words were unfinished, but the mockery in them became increasingly obvious.
“Fortunately, you are still alert enough. Although the Third Prince’s Consort is beautiful and alluring, she is a thorny rose that cannot be touched easily. If you touch her, there will be danger.”
After some thought, Qin Xuan’s heart stirred.
“We can’t just let them off like this. I need to think of a way to deal with them.”
While thinking, Qin Xuan’s heart stirred. He flicked his fingertip, and a paper figure flew out from his hand. This paper figure quickly hid nearby.
“Go, follow the Third Prince’s Consort closely and see what she’s doing.”
The paper figure’s stealth technique had also become increasingly strong, making it difficult to detect.
The paper figure followed silently. Qin Xuan sat in place, drinking wine, while attaching a wisp of his Divine Soul to the paper figure, observing others through its perspective.
Soon, the paper figure followed the Third Prince’s Consort to a garden deep within the palace courtyard.
At this moment, there was no one here, only a few maids accompanying the Third Prince’s Consort.
“Alright, you may withdraw. I want to be alone here for a while.”
Waving her hand, the Third Prince’s Consort dismissed her maids and walked into the garden alone.
“How is it? Has he come?”
Not long after the maids left, a masked young man walked out of the garden.
He was holding a box in his hand.
“Alright, I’ve already completed what you asked me to do. Shouldn’t you give me the antidote?”
The Third Prince’s Consort anxiously reached out to the man. At this moment, her face was flushed, and her breathing was uneven.
“What’s the rush? The Consort hasn’t brought the person over yet. How can it be considered complete?”
The man stared mockingly at the Third Prince’s Consort and reached out to grab her hand.
“Let go! You let go of this Princess!”
The Third Prince’s Consort, with a red face, tried hard to shake off his hand.
But the man opened the box, took out a Gu from it, and squeezed it hard.
Immediately, a buzzing sound came from the box.
The Third Prince’s Consort immediately leaned against a nearby tree, her face flushed like spring, staring intently at the man in front of her.
“You, what are you going to do?”
This young man took a step forward, his breathing becoming heavy.
“What am I going to do? Doesn’t the Consort know best?”
Saying this, the man approached the Consort while holding the male Gu.
“You, don’t come over.”
The Third Prince’s Consort said weakly. Hearing this, the young man got even closer.
“Consort, if you don’t do things properly, we can only resort to this.”
“Since you couldn’t take down this Great Master Qin, how did you fare with instigating the Fifth Prince and Sixth Prince?”
“Didn’t I tell you to seduce the Fifth Prince and Sixth Prince? To make them turn against His Highness the Third Prince? Why didn’t you go?”
As the man approached, he stared at the Third Prince’s Consort with lewd eyes.
“You, hurry up.”
Suddenly, the Third Prince’s Consort’s voice changed.
“Haha, didn’t the Consort just say not to come over? Now why are you telling me to hurry up?”
The man laughed triumphantly and picked up the Gu in his hand.
“With this Joyful Gu, Consort, you’ll be begging me then.”
“Now, beg me! Beg me to come over!”
Listening to these humiliating words, the Consort could only shed tears, her face full of unwillingness.
After a long while, she trembled all over and lowered her head to the other party.
“Please, hurry over.”
They’re playing such elaborate tricks!
Qin Xuan, who was drinking wine at the banquet, couldn’t help but look strange.
Although he had guessed some of it in his heart before, seeing this scene with his own eyes still shocked him a little.
“Luckily I didn’t go over, otherwise I would have been caught red-handed by this person.”
There are many Magical Artifacts in this world that can record the surrounding environment.
If this person managed to record it, that would be troublesome.
“Qin Xuan, what should we do? There’s only a thousand days of being a thief, not a thousand days of guarding against a thief. We’ll fall into their trap sooner or later if we wait.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Xuan snorted coldly. The Third Prince owed him a favor, so he couldn’t ignore it.
“However, it seems the Third Prince’s Consort is being forced. This is a bit troublesome. I need to find a way to warn the Third Prince.”
After pondering this, Qin Xuan’s heart stirred.
“Although this paper figure cannot release Advanced secret arts, it can still perform some simple spells. Let me help you out.”
Saying this, Qin Xuan flicked his finger directly, and another paper figure rushed over in a hurry.
This paper figure carried a Magical Artifact, which could record this scene later.
In addition, he had prepared some other methods.
Soon, this paper figure arrived there.
In the garden, spring was already in full bloom.
Qin Xuan controlled the paper figure, using the Magical Artifact to start recording the surrounding scene.
When the situation was almost ready, the other paper figure immediately released a simple freezing spell.
Instantly, the two people in the garden were frozen inside ice blocks.
At the same time, the other placed the Magical Artifact aside, and the two paper figures chose to self-destruct!
“Boom!”
An explosion sound came from the garden.
In an instant, all the people around the banquet heard the explosion from that direction.
“What happened? What’s going on?”
Many people attending the banquet stood up, looking surprised in that direction.
This was the Imperial Palace, heavily guarded.
It wasn’t that easy to sneak into the palace.
But now, such a loud noise came from inside the palace, something was very wrong.
Everyone around immediately stood up, looking in that direction.
At the same time, the Imperial Palace guards, led by the Captain, were already rushing towards that direction.
“Everyone, please calm down. I’ll go and see what’s happening.”
Third Prince Yuan Jing cupped his hands towards the people around him.
Then, he immediately led the guards and rushed towards that direction.
Looking at the Third Prince who was leaving, Qin Xuan couldn’t help but feel some sympathy for him.
“But this isn’t necessarily a bad thing.”
“Currently, the only one who can compete with the Third Prince is the Second Prince. This is most likely related to the Second Prince.”
“As long as the Third Prince is ruthless enough, he can use this to uncover the Second Prince’s situation. This way, the Third Prince’s chances of ascending to the Great Master will be even higher.”
