Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor-Chapter 852 - 4: Forceful Seizure

Upon seeing such a Donghuang Lingling, Dugu Xiu seemed somewhat dumbstruck.

It couldn’t be denied that Donghuang Lingling was very beautiful, being the Eastern Capital Princess, she naturally possessed a noble air, comparable to Lady Chi Bi, Dugu Xiu’s beloved.

"Chi Bi, you may leave," Dugu Xiu ordered Lady Chi Bi to exit.

Seeing Dugu Xiu in this state, Lady Chi Bi felt jealousy rising in her heart, she glared fiercely at Donghuang Lingling. This woman, just a few days ago, looked as if she was desperate to fight the Crown Prince to the death, why was she acting so strangely tonight?

But Dugu Xiu had already given the order, so Lady Chi Bi could only stand up, close the door, and leave.

"It’s late, the Crown Prince handles affairs all day, perhaps some soup would help," Donghuang Lingling personally served a bowl of soup to Dugu Xiu.

Seeing Dugu Xiu’s reluctance to eat, Donghuang Lingling’s hand tightened slightly.

Dugu Xiu reached out his ape-like arm, his large hand encircling Donghuang Lingling, her rosy face turned pale, being pulled onto his lap.

She forced herself to remain calm, her eyes still filled with deep affection.

"Princess, the Crown Prince’s women don’t serve soup like this," Dugu Xiu smiled, his words ambiguous.

Donghuang Lingling’s smile froze on her face, she strained to keep smiling, picking up the bowl, her jade hand stirring the spoon, and brought it to Dugu Xiu’s lips.

Only then did Dugu Xiu drink a mouthful of soup.

Seeing Dugu Xiu drink the soup, Donghuang Lingling breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Dugu Xiu drank a few sips, his gaze gradually blurred, his body became heavy, and with a thud, he collapsed.

Seeing him fall unconscious, Donghuang Lingling sneered coldly, she pulled a hairpin from her head, aimed at the major artery in Dugu Xiu’s neck, and stabbed down fiercely.

This hairpin was a keepsake of Donghuang Lingling, made of Purple Gold, crafted at the command of her father upon her birth.

The sharp hairpin, upon seeing blood, seals the throat, capable of being fatal, even if pierced in a vulnerable spot on the Body of Martial Saint, it would be deadly.

But as Donghuang Lingling stabbed down, the hairpin pressed against Dugu Xiu’s neck, unmoving.

"How is this possible, could it be that Dugu Xiu actually..." Donghuang Lingling shivered.

In the hesitation.

"Donghuang Lingling, did you really think the Crown Prince would die at the hands of a woman like you?" A cold voice echoed by her ear.

Dugu Xiu ridiculed, with a sudden puff, he spat out a Water Arrow.

The Water Arrow hit Donghuang Lingling’s wrist, Lingling felt a sudden sharp pain, her wrist bones shattered.

Earlier, Donghuang Lingling’s soup that he seemingly swallowed had not actually entered his stomach, each drop was wrapped in fighting spirit, retained in his mouth.

Donghuang Lingling truly underestimated Dugu Xiu.

Dugu Xiu was born in Hou Qin, although destined to be the Crown Prince, his status wasn’t like other countries’ Crown Princes, earned through the favor of their mothers or the hierarchy of siblings.

The deceit and intrigue in Hou Qin made him learn to discern various poisons from a young age.

The poison in Donghuang Lingling’s soup, despite being colorless and tasteless, was easily detected by Dugu Xiu.

Someone like Donghuang Lingling, how could she dance with wolves?

For Dugu Xiu, women fell into two categories, those he wanted and those he didn’t.

If previously he was willing to marry Donghuang Lingling due to her status.

But now, a woman who has been cohabiting with another man, he would not want.

Dugu Xiu would show no mercy to a woman he didn’t want.

"Come here, imprison the Princess."

"Dugu Xiu, if you have the guts, kill me," Donghuang Lingling laughed miserably, she came tonight to poison Dugu Xiu, prepared to die.

Her brother was living worse than death, her mother was crying her heart out, all because of this demon Dugu Xiu.

"Princess, you can’t die, the Crown Prince still needs you as bait," Dugu Xiu laughed arrogantly.

The one he wanted would definitely come.

Yun Sheng arrived at the Eastern Capital without any disguise, sought out Dugu Xiu directly.

"The Crown Prince didn’t expect to see you again under such circumstances," Dugu Xiu was somewhat surprised, didn’t anticipate Yun Sheng coming to confront him alone, his eyes sparkled with greed.

That gaze was like a hungry predator spotting a tender and juicy lamb.

Yun Sheng saw Lingling, who had been held captive for several days, restrained her urge to give Dugu Xiu a good beating: "I’m here to negotiate, break the engagement, to fulfill Gu Feng and Lingling."

"My marriage with Donghuang Lingling has been announced to the world, how could the Crown Prince’s honor remain if she were to back out now," Dugu Xiu’s thin lips tightened.

The Eastern Capital’s backing out is not allowed by Hou Qin, nor by Dugu Xiu.

"However," Dugu Xiu’s tone shifted, "there may be room for compromise."

"If you have something to say, just spit it out, don’t beat around the bush, what’s your condition, just say it," Yun Sheng disliked Dugu Xiu.

From the first meeting, Yun Sheng despised his self-important attitude that treated people as beneath him.

"Do you remember the words the Crown Prince said to you years ago? That one day, you’ll beg the Crown Prince to marry you." Dugu Xiu suddenly pulled Yun Sheng, dragging her into his embrace.

Yun Sheng wouldn’t let him succeed, she moved like a fish in water, her elbow striking towards Dugu Xiu’s throat, Dugu Xiu was wary of Yun Sheng’s cunning movement technique and dared not be careless, forced to step back, keeping a distance between them.

"Dream on," Yun Sheng’s face was frosty, like a thorny rose, anyone who approached would get stung.

"Yun Sheng, don’t argue with him, quickly leave," Donghuang Lingling urged.

"You marry, she lives, the Crown Prince just needs a woman to bring back to the Eastern Capital, it doesn’t have to be Donghuang Lingling," standing close, Dugu Xiu inhaled Yun Sheng’s youthful fragrance.

His wolf eyes darkened, even heaven seemed to favor him.

Years ago, Yun Sheng’s rejection was seen by Dugu Xiu as a humiliation, constantly on his mind.

For years, he used affairs of state, the grand strategy, and various women to forget this woman who humiliated him, the only one who had ever refused him. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

But surprisingly, she fell into his trap, appearing before him once again.

Dugu Xiu had a flash of inspiration, devising a scheme of deception and substitution.

Moreover, compared to the girl years ago who was tender and feminine, now Yun Sheng had evolved into a woman whose allure made people itch with desire.

He wanted her.

This time, neither Great Zhou Ye Beiming nor the Eastern Capital, not even his father, could stop him.

Yun Sheng ignored Dugu Xiu, stepped forward to untie the ropes binding Donghuang Lingling.

"Humph, you really think the Imperial Palace is your home, where you can come and go at will?" Lady Chi Bi barged in with dozens of Iron Blood Guards.

"Do you really think you can stop me?" Yun Sheng never fought a battle she wasn’t confident in winning, daring to charge into the Eastern Capital alone to rescue someone, she was absolutely sure of her ability to retreat unscathed.
