Chapter 289: Who's Playing Whom?

compared to power, is nothing more than a mere pastime.""My son understands!"Qiān Sī chīn shī lost his soul and walked out of the Fengqī Palace dejectedly. The words his mother had just spoken echoed..."Where's my sister Will she agree" Everything was going according to plan, Xiao Yuge didn't find it surprising at all.

"Fu'er agreed as well, saying, 'Originally, this position of Crown Princess was yours.'" Qian Si Chen thought about Xiao Yu Fu's words, a flicker of unease crossing her heart.

"It's too much of an injustice to your sister like this."

"There's nothing to be wronged about, everything is back to normal, everything is back on track. Father said that next month, the Imperial Astronomer will find a good day to give us our wedding! Ge’er, we can finally be together!" Thinking about finally being able to marry her home, Qian Sicheng's eyes were filled with light, but seeing that Xiao Yuge didn't seem as happy as he expected, he was puzzled: "Ge’er, are you not happy"

"How is that possible I'm happy to marry Brother Sicheng, but as a woman myself, I know Sister must be feeling uncomfortable. You should spend more time with her."

"Silly song, you are such a kind soul, thinking everyone is as good as you. You will get taken advantage of." Qian Sichin held her gently in his arms. He had seen through Xiao Yu Fu's facade, and compared to that, this Song was more pitiable to him.

"How could that be I have my brother's love, my sister's care, and my parents' affection. I am already the happiest person." She looked up at him, her eyes were so pure and clear, as if in her eyes, the world had never had a dark side.

"To be able to marry you, I am the luckiest person in the world." Qian Sichin held her tightly, vowing to love her well for the rest of his life. Having grown up accustomed to the intrigues and schemes of the imperial palace, this purity was the most precious thing. Thinking of Xiao Yufu's words, his heart was filled with guilt.

'Brother Si Chen, I can give up the position of Crown Princess to Ge'er, but you have to help me, and let Ge'er find a hundred-year blood lotus and a thousand-year blood ginseng for me! I love Brother Si Chen, and I want to have a child with Brother Si Chen, even just one!' Xiao Yu Fu at that time was so heartbroken, she was even pitiful. He wasn't because he felt sorry for her, but because she could willingly give up the position of Crown Princess.

"Ge'er, if something happened to me, would you do everything in your power to save me" Perhaps she still wasn't sure how much she loved him.

"Of course, for Brother Sichen, I'm willing to do anything." That's right, for revenge against him, she would do anything.

"Silly girl, how can you be so foolish..." Qian Si Chen's heart was being twisted painfully. She was so kind, so innocent, how could he deceive her But if he didn't deceive her, how could he be with her

After much deliberation, he finally made his decision. He silently apologized to her in his heart and swore that from now on, he would treat her twice as well and would never hurt her again.

"Uh!"

Just as the two were leaning against each other, suddenly an arrow flew from nowhere, and Qian Si Chen used his body to shield Xiao Yu Ge!

"Whoosh!"

That arrow pierced Qian Simin's shoulder with a violent thud!

"Brother Sicheng!"

Xiao Yu Fu supported him, but saw that his lips had already turned black. She knew the arrow was poisoned and was about to check what kind of poison it was when Ling Tian arrived and took Qian Si Chen into his arms.

"Miss Xiao, the prince's assassination is no small matter. This humble servant will first take His Highness back to the palace!" Ling Tian then instructed his subordinates to send Xiao Yuge back to Ruyi Fang, while he himself took Qian Sichin back to the palace.

Soon, Ling Tian brought news that the crown prince had been poisoned by a deadly poison. The imperial physician said it required a hundred-year blood lotus and a thousand-year blood ginseng as medicine. Since the palace didn't have these two herbs, he could only come to Xiao Yuge with a glimmer of hope for help.

"Ling Shiwei, don't worry, I know where these things are. Give me two days, and I'll definitely find them to save Brother Sichen!" Xiao Yuge was very calm, as if she had expected this all along.

"Miss Xiao, excellent!" Ling Tian was overjoyed, as if everything was within the master's plan: "Miss Xiao, where are those medicines I will accompany you there." This was the master's order, to absolutely protect Miss Xiao's safety.

"Ling Shiwei, there's no need for you to follow. I'll go alone. You go back and take good care of Brother Sicheng. Before I return, make sure the imperial physician stabilizes his condition. I will be back as soon as possible!" Xiao Yuge naturally wouldn't let Ling Tian follow.

However, before she went to collect medicine, she first went to see someone.

"Sister is so anxious to find me, but for Brother Sicheng" When Xiao Yuge saw Xiao Yufu's pale face, she seemed to understand something.

"Song'er, please save Si Chen gege. He loves you so much, and you wouldn't bear to see him in trouble, would you" Xiao Yu Fu looked very nervous and anxious.

"Sister, there's no one here, so you don't have to pretend to be so hard. Brother Sichen said he wanted to marry me as the crown princess, so I will definitely save him!" Xiao Yuge didn't go along with her either.

Xiao Yufu's face flushed red and white, she finally stopped pretending: "Xiao Yuge, even if you become the crown princess, so what Sicheng will always love me the most in his heart." Perhaps because she wasn't sure, she kept emphasizing it over and over.

"Is that so Since you're so certain, why go to such lengths behind my back You had Hackle destroy my reputation and hire assassins to kill me, sister. Don't you think these tactics can handle me" She simply wouldn't stoop to their level, nor would she let the old couple of the Xiao family endure the pain of losing a daughter in their twilight years. Otherwise, without anyone else getting involved, she could have killed Xiao Yu'er as easily as crushing an ant.

"You, how did you know" Xiao Yu Fu's panicked eyes were undoubtedly admitting to those things. It was just that she hadn't expected that Xiao Yu Ge would know about what she had done.

"If you don't want others to know, unless you do nothing! Besides, your disguise isn't very convincing!" Xiao Yuge sneered.

"Since you know all of that was done by me, why not tell Brother Sichen directly Well, it's true, Brother Sichen loves me so much, even if you told him, he wouldn't believe it!" Xiao Yufu was quite confident. Over the years, her innocent act among those men had become deeply ingrained in their hearts, so no one would believe she would harm the innocent.

Xiao Yu Ge laughed, a laugh that sent shivers down Xiao Yu Fu's spine. "Why should I tell him Wouldn't it be better for him to discover the truth himself My dear sister, first love is often the most unforgettable and moving. And I, on purpose, want to make you look hideous in front of him, causing your once self-proclaimed love to crumble completely."

Seeing Xiao Yuge's smile, Xiao Yu'fu shivered involuntarily: "You, how did you become so terrifying" In her heart, Xiao Yuge had always been someone who was foolish, impulsive and quick to anger. When did she become so frighteningconfess their feelings are destined to be losers, he admitted it. But he forgot to ask her if she was willing to accept his love. He unilaterally assumed that since he loved her and she was by his sid...
