My Unrivaled Princess: I Won’t Mess With You

The emperor didn’t show up until he had heard Murong Xue was feeling better.

Luo Qianqian listened to the emperor’s solicitude with disdain, ‘I’ve always thought the imperial concubines are good at putting on acts in front of people, but it looks like I stand corrected, the emperor is the best actor in the imperial palace, he is better than all the imperial concubines.’

Luo Qianqian wanted to punish the one who had harmed Murong Xue, but she didn’t want to act rashly before she had come up with a thorough plan in case her recklessness would cause more trouble for Murong Xue.

But Luo Qianqian came up with the perfect plan as the emperor showed up, she buttered the emperor up, “Your Majesty, thank you so much for finding time in the midst of pressing affairs, I’m sure Xue will be moved to tears after she wakes up.”

“I’ve always heard people say Princess Eleventh is the emperor’s favorite.”

“Everyone will be moved seeing how much affection you have shown to Princess Eleventh.”

The emperor was satisfied to hear those fawning words.

Luo Qianqian now took a sigh and muttered as if she was asking herself the question, “It’s so strange that Princess Eleventh is suddenly poisoned, isn’t it?”

The emperor had heard that, he also chimed in, “What did the imperial physicians say? I’ve told them already I need the truth and I will punish whoever dared to hurt my Xue!”

Luo Qianqian had warned everyone else in the room to keep silent, so she answered promptly in a sad voice, “The imperial physicians couldn’t tell what the reason seems to be, but… but Doctor Lin said… …”

The way Luo Qianqian restrained her words had intrigued the emperor, “What did Doctor Lin say? Just tell me the truth, I promise you no one can hurt you as long as I’m here.”

There!

That was what Luo Qianqian had been waiting for!

‘I promise you no one can hurt you as long as I’m here.’

Luo Qianqian wiped the tears that didn’t even exist in her eyes, she tried so hard not to laugh out loud and replied, “Doctor Lin, can you please tell His Majesty what has happened to Xue?”

The emperor looked at Lin Zimo and asked amiably, “Doctor Lin, what has happened to Xue?”

Lin Zimo replied, “Your Majesty, there are two kinds of Princess Eleventh’s flowers are antagonistic with each other, they have created a toxic fragrance. So I asked the maids to destroyed them in case more people would be poisoned.”

“You’ve done the right thing, Doctor Lin. so, is this whole thing an accident?” the emperor asked.

Lin Zimo signaled Lvluo to come kneel down by his side and said, “Your Majesty, this is Princess Eleventh’s maid Lvluo, Lvluo said the flowers were from some other princess.”

The undertone was this thing was not an accident.

The emperor narrowed his eyes and he thumped on the table with a bang, the next second the table was smashed.

“Tell me who it is.”

Lvluo was terrified, but she did want to protect her princess, “To reply to Your Majesty, it is Princess Ninth!”

Luo Qianqian burst into tears and knelt down again, “Poor Xue, Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will look into this. Please allow me to investigate this!”

The emperor was in shock, he answered without a second thought, “Yes, Qianqian!”

Luo Qianqian averted her face and flashed a smile to Murong Yun.

Murong Yun shook his head with affection, ‘Princess Ninth, hope you are ready.’

Luo Qianqian showered him with one more round of compliments before she left with Lvluo for Princess Ninth’s palace.

The emperor stared at Murong Xue who was lying in bed, he asked Lin Zimo with concern, “Doctor Lin, when can my Xue wake up?”

Lin Zimo did some maths in his head and replied, “Princess Eleventh will wake up within two hours. I’ve already made a prescription for Her Highness, she will be cured after a few doses.”

“I know I can count on you, Doctor Lin!”

Su Liancheng gazed after Luo Qianqian and Lvluo’s retiring figures with jealousy, how he wished he could join them.

… …

Princess Ninth’s mother died from giving birth to her, so she was raised by the empress, Princess Ninth spared no efforts to fawn upon on the empress.

Princess Ninth knew how much the empress hated the Imperial Noble Consort, so she had been hostile against Murong Xue.

Princess Ninth had been jealous of Murong Xue for having both her mother’s affection and the emperor’s preference, plus Murong Xue had Murong Yun as her older brother to protect her, Murong Xue had everything without even trying! Yeah, Princess Ninth and the Crown Prince Mu Chaoyang were both raised by the empress, but Mu Chaoyang had never treated her with respect!

She had been mad jealous of Murong Xue!

The empress asked Princess Ninth to meet her the other day, Princess Ninth knew it meant the empress would give her a new mission.

Princess Ninth was glad to find out the empress wanted her to hurt Murong Xue, she listened to the empress and pretended she wanted to be on good terms with Murong Xue and sent her those flowers.

Princess Ninth sent Murong Xue Campsis Grandiflora because the empress told her Murong Xue had Wild Cape Jasmine, the two flowers could produce toxic fragrance together!

… …

Princess Ninth now was relaxing in her room, she cast a glimpse at her maid, “Little Liu, how is it going with Murong Xue? And what did the imperial physicians say?”

Little Liu trembled, “Your… Your Highness… …”

“Stop trembling! I won’t hurt you.” Princess Ninth put down the tea cup with impatience.

Little Liu was scared to see that, she knelt down, “Please forgive me, Your Highness.”

Princess Ninth looked satisfied, “You may rise now. Tell me about Murong Xue.”

Little Liu took a deep breath and stammered, “Princess Eleventh somehow was poisoned, the imperial physicians have no idea what poison it is… …”

“Continue.” Princess Ninth’s lips curled.

“But the Imperial Noble Consort asked Prince Eighth to come in the palace together with… with Doctor Lin… …”
