Chapter 66 What exactly is the person behind the scenes planning?

Su Liluo quickly retrieved some spring water from her spatial storage and poured it into a wine glass, drinking it down with it.

Fortunately, the Princess Consort had only given herself an aphrodisiac, which wouldn't kill her; a sip of spring water was enough to detoxify her.

She just couldn't understand how the Princess Consort could be so vicious after only exchanging a few words with her.

Do you want to ruin your reputation on a day like the New Year's banquet?

Although she hated Princess Cheng at the moment, if Princess Cheng were to be poisoned to death in this hall, she would probably be held responsible.

What kind of poison was in the glass of wine I gave her?

Su Liluo still asked the spirit of the artifact.

"Gu poison, the most powerful Heart-Eating Gu."

"It's actually a Gu poison! Will someone die from this?"

Su Liluo was only concerned about whether Princess Cheng would die at the New Year's banquet. If she died at the banquet, it would be troublesome for her. If she died outside, it would be none of her business.

"They won't die, but they'll be controlled by the Gu master and forced to do things they don't know about."

"As long as I don't die."

Su Liluo finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then suddenly realized that if she hadn't given that glass of wine to Princess Cheng, Xiao Ye would probably have drunk it.

So the person who poisoned Xiao Ye was targeting him. What exactly did the person who poisoned Xiao Ye want to control him for?

She felt there must be a huge conspiracy involved!

She has now given the wine to Princess Cheng, and she doesn't know if the other party has noticed.

So, Su Liluo quickly replaced the wine glass in front of Xiao Ye, filled it with wine, and checked that there was no poison in the wine on their table before she felt relieved.

Xiao Ye noticed Su Liluo's actions and looked at her with some confusion.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"I'm fine, it's just that..."

Su Lilu shook her head, and then told Xiao Ye about the Heart-Eating Gu.

"Don't act rashly yet, I'll have someone investigate!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ye frowned, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes.

He knew that the person who used the Gu poison this time was definitely the same person who had poisoned him before. Seeing that his leg had healed, he wanted to harm him again.

He wanted to take this opportunity to see who it was.

"Um!"

Su Liluo nodded; she hadn't intended to help Princess Cheng anyway.

Anyway, this poison won't kill her, and she can still guess the true purpose of the person behind it by observing what Princess Cheng does.

The banquet was in full swing, and many young ladies and noblewomen were showing off their talents, all hoping to display their brilliance.

Princess Changning kept glancing in Su Liluo's direction, and gradually she began to feel anxious.

"What's going on? Why hasn't the medicine taken effect yet?"

Changning grumbled inwardly.

She had planned this all along. First, she would let Su Liluo take the effects of the drug and go outside for some fresh air. Then, once Su Liluo fell into the trap and did something shameful, the Crown Prince would see it and divorce her.

Then, after performing her talents at the New Year's banquet, she told her uncle, the emperor, that she had someone she admired and asked him to grant her a marriage.

But why isn't Su Lilu reacting at all?

If she hadn't gotten into trouble, and the position of Crown Princess hadn't become vacant, how could I have asked for a marriage decree?

Changning kept giving Princess Cheng meaningful glances, trying to ask her if she hadn't drugged Su Liluo.

Su Liluo also saw through their little actions, and only then did she realize that Princess Cheng was acting on Changning's orders.

She secretly made a mental note of Princess Changning.

At the same time, Su Wanshi also carried a guqin to the center of the main hall.

Today, she chose not to dance again because she didn't want to remind some people of the embarrassing incident she had caused in front of Su Liluo last time.

She is also particularly skilled at playing the guqin, and she is determined to use it to regain her reputation and fame today.

She never expected that as soon as she started playing the zither, Consort Liu would stare at her with hostility.

"What a vixen!"

Consort Liu cursed inwardly.

Then, she looked at her son, the King of Chu, staring at Su Wanshi with infatuation, and felt even more disappointed in him.

Su Wanshi's piano skills were indeed excellent; the strings produced beautiful, melodious, and deep sounds that quickly captivated many people.

Consort Liu grew increasingly irritated as she looked at Xiao Ye, who was sitting upright and dignified. Suddenly, a sinister smile crept across her lips.

"Something terrible has happened! What is Princess Cheng trying to do?"

"Ah! Princess Cheng has gone mad, mad! Princess Cheng, let go, let go!"

"Guards! Quickly pull Princess Cheng away! People will die if this continues!"

"Princess Consort Cheng, this is your father! What are you doing? Let him go at once!"

Chaos erupted in the main hall. Suddenly, Princess Cheng rushed from her seat to the Imperial Censor as if she had gone mad, her eyes bloodshot, and she gripped his neck tightly with her hands.

The Imperial Censor was Princess Cheng's biological father, and the Imperial Censor's wife was almost crying with fright. The palace maids and eunuchs rushed forward to pull Princess Cheng away.

However, Princess Cheng was unusually strong for some reason, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't pull them apart.

Su Liluo watched this scene in shock. At this moment, she and Xiao Ye both understood the purpose of the person behind the scenes.

It turns out that the person behind the scenes originally wanted to control Xiao Ye to kill his father!

If Xiao Ye did that today, he would be doomed, losing all the trust he had painstakingly regained from Emperor Wenjian.

Everything will be destroyed in an instant.

I have to say, the person behind this is truly ruthless!

The two exchanged a deep look, neither of them speaking.

Consort Liu, seated in her high position, stared at the scene in disbelief, unable to react for a long time.
