Concubine Shun smiled and looked at Xiao Chengyi with a little more admiration: "The Regent is really ridiculous. You said I am not the third prince's biological mother, then who am I?"
Xiao Chengyi narrowed his eyes and said in a cold voice: "You are from southern Xinjiang. Although I don't know what method you used to replace Shun, but I can be sure that you are hiding in the palace and your motives are not pure.
The third prince was indeed wronged. You framed the blame and used him to make us all believe that the third prince wanted to seek power and usurp the throne, and then used his mouth to tell you how to detoxify the poison.
And your intention in doing this is to let His Majesty drink your blood and be controlled by you, because your blood is the real poison, am I right?"
They were all deceived. Concubine Shun tried her best to trick his uncle, but she succeeded.
This time, he miscalculated.
Concubine Shun really admired Xiao Chengyi's IQ. She asked curiously: "I heard that you are from the Beichen royal family and came to Nanyue for refuge? How about we make a deal?"
Xiao Chengyi curled his lips: "What deal do you want to do with me?"
Concubine Shun said: "You rescue me, and I will help you win the throne of Beichen. What if you can't interfere in Nanyue's affairs?"
"Oh."
Xiao Chengyi sneered: "I think your Majesty has underestimated Xiao. I can get the throne of Beichen at my fingertips and I don't need your help, Madam."
Shunbi's expression changed, and even her eyes became much colder. She looked at Xiao Chengyi and said, "In other words, you are determined to intervene in this matter?"
Xiao Chengyi said: "Hand over the antidote and I can spare your life."
Concubine Shun laughed loudly: "Do you think I'm stupid? I tried my best to bewitch Your Majesty just to save my life. If you dare to touch me in the slightest, Your Majesty will die."
Xiao Chengyi absolutely believed what she said. He shook the hand hidden in his sleeve and suppressed the anger in his heart: "Tell me, what are your conditions?"
Concubine Shun smiled slightly: "You are very sensible. In that case, I won't show off. I heard that Nanyue and Beichen are going to get married.
How can such a good thing be omitted from our Southern Xinjiang? How about our Southern Xinjiang also send a princess to marry the regent? "
Xiao Chengyi refused without thinking: "Impossible."
Concubine Shun was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said: "There is no harm in you marrying our princess from southern Xinjiang, but the regent refused so simply? Why, you don't want to save your uncle?"
Xiao Chengyi said with a cold face: "If you want to get married in southern Xinjiang, you can marry the prince of Nanyue. What will you do if you marry me?"
Concubine Shun smiled and said: "Just because you can guess my intention, not everyone can have this kind of intelligence, and you are also good-looking. You are the most suitable for our princess in southern Xinjiang."
Xiao Chengyi chuckled softly: "Thank you for your great love, but your princess of southern Xinjiang is too high for me to reach."
"That means there is no need to discuss?"
Shunbi's eyes narrowed, with a hint of anger. She thought the request she made was tempting enough, but she didn't expect Xiao Chengyi to reject it so simply.
Are you looking down on them in southern Xinjiang?
Xiao Chengyi stood with his hands behind his hands and said in a voice full of disdain: "You think this king has no other option? Then you are wrong, you will regret it, my concubine."
He waved his sleeves, turned around and walked out.
Shunbi looked at his leaving figure with a shocked face, and couldn't help but murmur in her heart. Xiao Chengyi was obviously the one being threatened, so why did his words make her feel like she was being threatened?
After Xiao Chengyi left Leng Palace, he saw Xiao Jue standing outside the door waiting for him.
Xiao Jue heard their conversation just now. He frowned and asked: "Shunbi is from Southern Xinjiang? She has been with my father since she was in hiding. How could she be from Southern Xinjiang?"
Xiao Chengyi's eyes were heavy: "She is not a submissive concubine."
