Nine Princes Struggle for the Throne: The Mad Prince

Chapter 88 The mouth of a green bamboo snake, the stinger of a wasp's tail—neither is poisonous

Yu Shu had just left.

Yuqin came in again.

"Your Highness, Concubine Yan is kneeling outside, saying she wants to beg for forgiveness from you."

"Oh? What a clever little girl."

Qin Wu smiled.

Today's events were absolutely orchestrated by Yan Wushuang.

Yan Wushuang is taking revenge on Liuyun King.

"Let her in!"

Qin Wu's smile faded.

His smile just now almost made Yuqin think she had seen wrong.

Is this still her cold-faced, devilish master? He actually smiled.

However, Yuqin quickly put aside her thoughts and went out to bring Yan Wushuang in.

"Meet the prince."

Yan Wushuang entered the study and immediately knelt down to pay her respects.

She knew very well that she couldn't hide what she had done today from Qin Wu.

So after returning, he came directly to apologize, which was something he had discussed with Jiang Pingle and Jiang Pingxin beforehand.

"Speak up, didn't you come here to confess? Tell me what you did wrong?"

Qin Wu raised the corners of his lips slightly, looking at Yan Wushuang with a half-smile.

"Your Highness, I have secretly plotted against Prince Liuyun today without your knowledge. Please punish me."

Yan Wushuang did not hide anything.

Qin Wu couldn't suppress a smile.

This girl is young, but she's quite clever.

He actually admitted his mistake right away.

"Oh? Tell me how you suddenly plotted against Prince Liuyun? I know you want revenge, but there's no need to be in such a hurry!"

Qin Wu inquired.

He knew everything Yan Wushuang had experienced in her past life, and he also knew that she wanted revenge.

But now is not the time for revenge.

This is a critical moment in the great war between Eastern Qin and Southern Qi, and no mistakes can be tolerated.

He didn't believe that Yan Wushuang would be so reckless as to attack Liuyun King at this time.

There must have been some unforeseen event that he was unaware of.

"Your Highness, my men have been monitoring Prince Liuyun recently and have discovered that he has been secretly abducting a large number of young men and sending them to a mysterious place. According to the investigation, this is not the first time he has done this. None of the people he has abducted have returned alive."

"So after discussing it with the Princess, I took action against Prince Liuyun in an attempt to force him to reveal his true nature."

Yan Wushuang said honestly.

This was something she discovered by accident.

She reported the matter to Jiang Pingxin, who felt that something was wrong with Prince Liuyun.

They sent people to investigate, but they didn't find many clues. They wanted to find out what was wrong with Liuyun King.

They had no choice but to take a risky approach, which led to today's situation.

"Your Majesty."

Just as Yan Wushuang finished speaking, the Jiang sisters, Jiang Pingxin and Jiang Pingle, also walked in.

"Your Highness has arrived, please have a seat!"

Qin Wu said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Your Highness, I have come here today for the sake of Wushuang. What she did today was the result of our discussion. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

Jiang Pingle spoke to Qin Wu and directly apologized.

"Princess, please sit down and talk! You should also get up and sit down."

Qin Wu said with a helpless smile.

The three then took their seats.

"Tell me, what poison did you give Prince Liuyun?"

Qin Wu inquired.

He still remembered that in the Imperial Study, Prince Liuyun had said that Yan Wushuang had poisoned him.

He didn't believe that the poison Yan Wushuang had administered would be so easily neutralized; otherwise, Yan Wushuang wouldn't have used it in the first place.

Moreover, the poison may very well have originated from his queen.

After all, his queen was an expert in medicine and poisons.

"Yes Yes..."

Yan Wushuang stammered, her cheeks flushed.

"Your Highness, it was I who poisoned Wushuang. Even if this poison is cured, she will not be able to have sex in the future."

Seeing Yan Wushuang's expression, Jiang Pingyue then offered an explanation.

Qin Wu was surprised to hear this, not expecting that Jiang Pingle had such poison in his possession.

If this poison is administered, King Liuyun will likely be crippled.

This reminded Qin Wu of a saying: There are three poisons in the world: the mouth of a green bamboo snake, the stinger of a wasp, the other two are not poisonous, but the most poisonous is a woman's heart.

This poison may not kill you, but it directly restored a man's dignity.

However, Qin Wu liked it. His woman had to be like this; only a woman like this was worthy of being Qin Wu's woman.

"Hahaha, not bad, not bad. I like what you've done. This is the kind of boldness my women should have."

Qin Wu laughed loudly.

That's how his woman should be.

The three women were relieved to see that Qin Wu was not angry with them and was even happy.

They had been worried that Qin Wu would blame them.

"Your Highness, this poison is quite good. Prepare more of it. By the way, do you have any other poisons? Prepare some of each when you get back. I will have Liufeng come and collect them in a while."

Qin Wu said with a smile.

These poisons are all good things; if used properly, they can have unexpected effects.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will prepare more."

After a moment of hesitation, Jiang Pingle agreed.

This was the first time she had been recognized by someone.

Her family used to spoil her, but they didn't support her researching these poisons.

"Alright, very good. From now on, you can leave the matter of the Flowing Cloud King alone; it's not something you can interfere with."

"Especially you, Wushuang, I know you want to take revenge yourself, but the things that Liuyun King is involved in are not things you can interfere with. Do you understand?"

Qin Wu's smile faded, and he gave Yan Wushuang a final reminder.

After all, the things that Liu Yunwang was involved in were serious crimes that could lead to the confiscation of property and the extermination of the entire clan.

We must not let personal grudges affect what happens next.

"Yes, I understand."

Yan Wushuang was somewhat unwilling that she could not take revenge herself.

But I also understand the seriousness of the matter.

"Yes, it's good that you understand. However, as my women, as long as you don't commit treason in the capital or even in the whole of Dongqin, you can do whatever you want without caring about other people's feelings."

Qin Wu was very satisfied with Yan Wushuang's attitude and made a promise.

Qin Wu was unaware that this was due to his promise.

This will give Dong Qin several more lawless figures in the future.

The women in his harem all became fearsome female demons that struck terror into the hearts of everyone.

Of course, this is something.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After receiving Qin Wu's promise, the three women thanked him happily.

"Go!"

Qin Wu smiled and told the three women to leave first.

"Your Majesty, I shall take my leave."

The three women bowed and withdrew.
