Chapter 98: Chapter 98 Crown Prince Poisoned

Chu Baihan?

Yan Xiao clenched the envelope, a fleeting light flashing in his slender eyes.

"Crown Prince, What does this letter mean?" asked Song Qin, his tone peculiar.

"This is a generous gift from the Crown Princess of Nanduan Kingdom to our palace, thanking me for last time when I sent someone to assassinate her and the fifth Prince. In return, she has specifically framed Chu Hesheng and Liu Cheng."

Yan Xiao said in a hushed voice.

What, what?

"Crown Prince, were you behind the previous assassination attempt on the fifth Prince and Crown Princess?" Song Qin was utterly shocked.

He now truly felt useless as the advisor to the Crown Prince!

The Crown Prince had done so much, yet he knew nothing about it.

"Yes, I even had those assassins carry tokens from Nanduan Kingdom." Yan Xiao replied very calmly.

Song Qin: "..."

Was the Crown Prince trying to frame Nanduan Kingdom?

Song Qin’s expression was indescribable.

He couldn’t understand, What benefit did it bring the Crown Prince to disrupt the amicable relations between the two countries at this time?

"Do you really think I intend to frame Nanduan Kingdom?" Yan Xiao glanced at Song Qin, his look filled with disdain.

Song Qin gave a forced laugh, then asked, "Is it not so?"

"This clumsy method of plotting is beneath me. I merely wanted to test whether Nan Baihan... could guess that it was I who orchestrated it."

As he spoke these words, a sharp glint flashed through Yan Xiao’s eyes.

Clearly, he was pleased that Chu Baihan now guessed his moves correctly.

"I did not expect that she would retaliate by turning my own scheme against me."

Yan Xiao sneered softly.

"She thinks that with this she can trouble me?"

"Crown Prince, there seems to be something else here." Song Qin, with sharp eyes, quickly noticed another letter scattered beside.

Yan Xiao picked it up and opened it.

"Crown Prince, if the Emperor knew of your brutal acts behind his back, would he still think you fit to be the Crown Prince?"

After reading this line, Yan Xiao scoffed coldly.

"Does she really think that by this she has grasped my secret?"

But as he continued to read, his expression finally changed.

"Indeed, the Emperor has his informants everywhere, he must have seen your actions and tacitly consented. But Crown Prince, I have my own matters to attend to. If you disclose my secret, it will put me in a difficult position, otherwise, let’s make a deal—you help conceal the secret, and I provide you with an antidote."

Antidote?

The last two words were particularly jarring.

"This chess piece is poisoned!" Yan Xiao felt a chill all over, and he quickly knocked the box over, scattering the chess pieces on the ground.

"Quick, fetch the house doctor!"

Song Qin also realized the severity of the situation.

He immediately shouted, and the guards hurried to fetch the house doctor.

After a while, the house doctor hurried over.

He first took Yan Xiao’s pulse, then examined the chess pieces on the floor.

He said with a strange tone, "Crown Prince, you have not been poisoned, and these chess pieces on the ground... are also not poisoned."

Not poisoned?

Song Qin was the first to express his confusion, "That’s not right, the letter clearly spoke of an antidote. Could it be that she deceived us?"

"Dismissed." Yan Xiao dismissed the house doctor.

His gaze slightly darkened, as if he were enveloped in gloom.

Had he been set up by Chu Baihan?

No, he always felt that Chu Baihan having something sent over could not be that simple.

"Someone, prepare a carriage, I need to visit the Princess Residence."

He stood up and spoke in a hushed voice.

But just at that moment, he felt a piercing pain in his chest.

Clutching his chest, he staggered.

Still, Song Qin was quick to react and supported him in time.

"Your Highness," Song Qin called out anxiously.

What happened to the Crown Prince?

Just at that moment, a guard hurriedly reported.

"Crown Prince, a group of men in black just broke into the Eastern Palace and kidnapped that woman," they said tensely.

Hearing this, Yan Xiao actually laughed.

Blood was visibly seeping from the corners of his mouth, yet he smiled extremely defiantly.

The smile on his face, along with the blood at the corner of his mouth, gave him an added touch of devilish charm.

"Crow, Crown Prince?"

Song Qin called out to him frantically.

The guard was even more nervous as he said, "Your Highness, we have already sent people to chase after them."

Yet there was no sign of anger on Yan Xiao’s face; his eyes even held a hint of excitement.

"So, the poison was on that woman. Chu Baihan, you truly continue to surprise this palace."

He raised his hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his fingertip, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

"Stop chasing. How can you fools catch up with the Hidden Guards she personally arranged?" Yan Xiao glanced at the guard contemptuously.

The guard bowed his head, not daring to make a sound.

Yan Xiao coughed again.

By now, his bleeding had increased, and Song Qin was extremely anxious.

He said in a panic, "Your Highness, I will call the house doctor back immediately."

"No need. Since she made her intentions clear, there must be an antidote among the things she brought."

Yan Xiao spoke coldly.

The guards quickly began to search.

Finally, they found a pill in a corner.

Without even looking, Yan Xiao took the pill and swallowed it.

Indeed, after taking the medicine, the pain in his chest stopped, and his complexion returned to normal.

"How preposterous, that Nan Baihan would dare to poison Your Highness. I will go to the palace and report this to the Emperor immediately!" Song Qin said indignantly.

But at that moment, Yan Xiao’s sharp gaze swept over, and he sneered, "Mister Song, are you planning to go to the Emperor now to reveal that this palace once sent assassins against Yan Jin?"

"This, this..."

Song Qin was at a loss for words, overwhelmed.

"But, but Your Highness, must we really succumb to her threats?" Song Qin frowned, clearly unwilling to give in.

Yet a certain Crown Prince didn’t seem to care about his own health.

He sat down, picked up a chess piece, and said nonchalantly, "She went to great lengths to poison this palace. I’m actually curious to see what it is she plans to do."

...

In the Prince Residence.

Ziyi stared at Chu Baihan for a long time. By the time dawn broke, she still hadn’t made any movements, so he had to go back and report first.

Shortly after he left, Wuji appeared in Chu Baihan’s room.

"Princess, the person has been rescued from the Eastern Palace," he said respectfully.

"Mmm, it’s good that she’s been rescued. Find a place to settle her down. Regardless of her initial intentions for entering the Eastern Palace, she has indeed done us a favor," Chu Baihan replied calmly.

Ever since she was "warned" by Yan Xiao that day, she felt she couldn’t just sit idly by.

She had been planning for so long. The destruction of the Liu Family and the Chu Family, as well as Xixi’s Snow Ganoderma, she was determined to obtain them. No one could stop her!

Worried that Yan Xiao might become an obstacle, she had people watch the Eastern Palace and several Princes while also conducting a new investigation into Yan Xiao.

Upon discovering that Yan Xiao loved chess fervently and was extremely brutal behind the scenes, they then targeted an Oiran at the brothel who was excellent at chess.
