Traveling through the Poisonous Concubine

Chapter 268 Arrogant Xiao Yichen

Xiao Yifeng, the seventh prince of Northern Qi, finally returned to Northern Qi after going through untold hardships under the escort of Yan Wuque's Wangsheng Tower. However, no one could have expected that the prince who had disappeared for nearly a year would suddenly return.

When Crown Prince Xiao Yichen heard the news, he was furious. He couldn't understand why Xiao Yifeng was so lucky and escaped his pursuit many times. What was even more unexpected to him was that Tiansha never returned and was finally found dead outside the city of Yandu.

"Godfather, we must rush back to Northern Qi as soon as possible! The Seventh Prince is protected by experts, and our people can't catch up with him at all. If he successfully returns to Northern Qi, the situation will become difficult to control." Xiao Yichen was extremely anxious, and his mouth was covered with blisters.

"Chen'er, this time it's probably the Regent of the Yan Dynasty who intervened. According to our investigation, the Seventh Prince arrived in Yandu half a year ago, was protected by the Regent's wife, and was given the name Yunyang. Here is some relevant information, you can take a look." Wu Xi handed it to Xiao Yichen anxiously.

Xiao Yichen took the information and quickly flipped through it. As he read deeper, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and he became more and more shocked. After reading it, he made a quick decision: "Tomorrow morning, I will set off immediately to return to Northern Qi."

"Chen'er, the cooperation with Yan Dynasty has almost been discussed. It is time to go back to avoid any more trouble. Northern Qi is in dire straits right now. I am afraid that if the Seventh Prince goes back and the Emperor knows the truth, he will not forgive you."

"Godfather, let's go back first. We can deal with the rest as it happens. After all, I am the crown prince of Northern Qi. Your Majesty has no substantial evidence. It all depends on Xiao Yifeng's words. At most, your Majesty will scold me. What else can he do?" Xiao Yichen looked indifferent.

"Chen'er, don't be careless. Disha is still alive. We have to go back and deal with it now. We must not let him find evidence. Otherwise, once it is exposed, the consequences will be unimaginable!" Wu Xi warned seriously.

"Don't worry, foster father. I know my limits." Xiao Yichen responded calmly, "However, we need to take the initiative and not be led by the nose by the Disha. Now, we have to find someone first - the Luo family."

"Luo family?" Wu Xi was puzzled.

"Yes, the Luo family is the Third Prince's in-laws. If we can find him, we can follow the clues to find the Third Prince. In this way, we can take the initiative." Xiao Yichen explained.

After carefully disguising themselves, the two successfully arrived at the Luo family and met Prime Minister Luo.

The atmosphere in the study room of the Luo Mansion was extremely tense. The Third Prince was furious, glaring at Xiao Yichen and cursing, "Xiao Yichen, you despicable and shameless villain! It was clearly a deal, but you dared to put a curse on me! Do you think there is no one left in my Great Yan Kingdom?"

Facing the Third Prince's angry scolding, Xiao Yichen seemed very calm. He looked at the Third Prince quietly without saying a word.

At this time, Luo Jingde on the side spoke up: "Minghao, don't be rude!" He knew very well that the purpose of Xiao Yichen's coming this time was nothing more than to get some benefits, and he would not really harm the life of the third prince.

After hearing what Luo Jingde said, the Third Prince gradually calmed down, but there was still a gleam of anger in his eyes. Xiao Yichen smiled slightly, secretly thinking about the next plan in his heart...

"It's the same with you. The Third Prince is pretending to be crazy and stupid. Without the genius doctor of Northern Qi, how would you have a chance to wash away this reputation of idiocy? Is it possible that all the sons of the Emperor of Dayan are dead? Do you need a fool to inherit the throne?" Xiao Yichen spoke eloquently, and every word was heart-wrenching.

The Third Prince's face turned pale, and he pointed at Xiao Yichen, "You, you..." The angrier he got, the more painful his chest felt. The pain felt like a thousand ants gnawing at his bones, and soon the Third Prince was sweating profusely.

"Minghao, what's wrong with you?" Luo Jingde's eyes were full of worry, and Luo Lu hurriedly supported the third prince.

"Let's be frank, Third Prince. What do you think? Are my adoptive father's methods clever? Without my adoptive father's treatment, those bugs would grow bigger and eat away at your internal organs bit by bit, and finally..." Xiao Yichen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a smug and arrogant smile.

"Prince of Northern Qi, are you too arrogant? This is the territory of my Great Yan. Do you really think that there is no one in my Great Yan? Are you trying to provoke diplomatic relations between the two countries?" Prime Minister Luo's face darkened and he put a big hat on Xiao Yichen in an attempt to scare him.

However, Xiao Yichen was not moved at all. Instead, he smiled coldly: "Humph! So what if you want to provoke diplomatic relations between the two countries? Do you dare to go to war with my Northern Qi? Without Yan Wuque, you are just a paper tiger."

"Don't say that. If your emperor knew that his son was plotting something evil and was cooperating with me, Northern Qi, do you think he would be angry? His son pretended to be a ghost and stupid, and then did shameful things behind the scenes. Would the Emperor of Dayan be angry?" Xiao Yichen stared at Prime Minister Luo with burning eyes, his tone full of provocation and sarcasm.

"That's right, Third Prince, don't ever think that anyone can cure the poison I'm holding. Apart from the old man from Tianshan, even the genius doctor Xilaile can't do it? Hahaha..." Wu Xi was even more arrogant and laughed unscrupulously.

Faced with such arrogant Crown Prince of Northern Qi and Wuxi, everyone glared at each other, but could do nothing about it.

After all, they had the antidote in their hands and were holding the Third Prince's lifeblood, so no one dared to act rashly.

Wu Xi stopped urging the Third Prince, and he felt a little better. However, he was covered in cold sweat, which made him shiver.

"I finally understand. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's insidiousness is all my fault. I am trying to get the skin of a tiger. Lu'er, help Minghao to have a rest for a while, and leave the rest to me," Prime Minister Luo said self-deprecatingly.

Xiao Yichen and Wu Xi looked at each other, put away their arrogance, and sipped their tea quietly in silence.

Prime Minister Luo was accompanying him and was not in a hurry. He knew very well in his mind that Xiao Yichen was just trying to scare people and did not really want to kill the Third Prince.

In the evening, they drank tea pot after pot. Prime Minister Luo was so considerate that he asked the butler to bring some snacks, for fear of neglecting Xiao Yichen and Wu Xi.

The two sides were in a stalemate, neither side was willing to give in, and the atmosphere was unusually strange.

The Third Prince washed up, changed into clean clothes, and secretly returned to the Third Prince's Mansion. He called the people from the Netherworld Pavilion and ambushed Xiao Yichen on his way back to Northern Qi.

He would repay Xiao Yichen tenfold for all the suffering he had endured today. He was thinking in his heart that Yun Yuxi's medical skills were so great and she only cared about money. As long as she was willing to help him get rid of the poison, what would be wrong with spending some money?

The people of the Netherworld Pavilion received instructions and quickly dispersed and ambushed in the territory of Northern Qi, because Xiao Yichen could not die in Dayan, otherwise with the emperor's means, the Netherworld Pavilion would be exposed. The third prince was deep-minded, but he also knew that he could not act too hastily.
