Chapter 158 Ye Jinghao's disguise was exposed by Dongfang Wan'er!
However, Dongfang Wan'er did not move her feet. Her eyes grew colder and colder. She sneered inwardly: "Ye Jinghao, you keep saying that you have no interest in that position, but behind the scenes you are secretly training troops and purchasing weapons. Is it just for self-preservation? Hmph, don't think I don't know your true intentions. You are the most hypocritical person ever!"
Ye Jinghao's eyes suddenly turned gloomy, like cold stars twinkling in the night sky. He quickly put away his original carefree and nonchalant demeanor.
He swiftly snatched the longsword from the guard beside him and, without hesitation, held it against Dongfang Wan'er's fair and delicate neck...
"Who exactly are you? Tell me the truth at once!" Ye Jinghao gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, applying slight force so that the blade was pressed against Dongfang Wan'er's skin, his voice cold and stern.
In an instant, a thin but bright red bloodstain appeared on Dongfang Wan'er's neck, like a blood-red flower blooming in the dark night.
Faced with such a perilous situation, Dongfang Wan'er showed no fear whatsoever. A slight smirk played on her lips as she let out a contemptuous laugh: "Heh, finally no longer pretending, huh? However, I advise you to put down your sword immediately, otherwise, you'll likely be dead before I am!"
Just as Ye Jinghao was about to let out a cold laugh, suddenly, a strange numbness surged up his arm, like thousands of ants biting him at the same time, making it unbearable.
Immediately afterwards, the longsword in his hand fell straight to the ground as if it had gone out of control, and he suddenly felt weak all over, his legs went weak, and he finally collapsed to the ground!
At the same time, the guards who had been standing to the side all fell to the ground as if their bones had been removed, unable to move an inch!
"What...what have you done to me?" An unprecedented panic surged within Ye Jinghao. Just who was this mysterious and unpredictable woman before him?
How could she know everything about my every move? If she was a spy sent by an enemy force, the consequences would be unimaginable. I had fallen into such a passive situation without even realizing it!
Dongfang Wan'er sat leisurely in the chair, elegantly crossing her legs, and then took out an exquisite bronze mirror from her bosom to carefully examine the shallow scar on her neck.
"I told you long ago that I came here specifically to help you, but what did you do? You were skeptical of my words, or even completely disbelieving them! Look at the situation now! Just as I expected, you've finally been poisoned by accident!"
While complaining indignantly, Dongfang Wan'er quickly took out a delicate little porcelain bottle from her bosom and carefully opened the cap.
She gently poured out a drop of crystal-clear liquid that emitted a faint chill, and then applied it to the hideous wound on her neck.
An amazing thing happened—the wound, which had been bleeding profusely, stopped bleeding instantly after coming into contact with this drop of mysterious liquid, as if by magic.
Meanwhile, Ye Jinghao stared wide-eyed at the small porcelain bottle in Dongfang Wan'er's hand, his face filled with astonishment.
He couldn't help but blurt out, "Ice Jade... You actually possess such a precious and rare Ice Jade! And just looking at the packaging, it's definitely not one of those common items on the market, but a rare treasure that's long been discontinued!"
You should know that even he had only had the good fortune to see this top-tier healing medicine once, with Ye Jiuchen!
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Wan'er's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smug smile.
Then, she slowly stood up, walked lightly to Ye Jinghao, and gently lifted his chin with her slender fingers.
After examining him closely, she couldn't help but sigh to herself, "Hmm, he is quite handsome, and his brows exude an innate kingly demeanor!"
Thinking of this, Dongfang Wan'er suddenly had an idea and said in a sweet voice, "How about it? Consider cooperating with me? If you agree, you'll definitely get plenty of benefits!"
Just then, the guards who had been protecting her could no longer contain their anger and roared at Dongfang Wan'er in unison, "How dare you treat our Third Prince so disrespectfully! If you have the guts, come at us! Don't harm the Third Prince in the slightest!"
Facing this group of loyal guards, Dongfang Wan'er showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, she looked the guard who had stepped forward up and down with great interest.
A moment later, she chuckled and teased, "Oh ho, I didn't expect you to be so handsome!" Before she finished speaking, the guard's face turned bright red, like a ripe apple.
He closed his eyes tightly, gritted his teeth, and shouted, "You wicked woman, stop talking nonsense! If you have the guts, come at me! I'm not afraid of you!" His words were full of determination and fearlessness.
"Pfft!" Dongfang Wan'er was amused by the guard's appearance!
"This isn't your true appearance, is it?" Ye Jinghao's keen eyes noticed the unusual thing about the woman in front of him—her skin was as white as snow and as white as jade, but her neck and face had completely different colors, obviously indicating that some kind of technique had been used on her face...
"Hehe, you do have some eyesight, you actually managed to see it!" The woman replied with a slight smile.
Faced with this situation, Ye Jinghao knew very well that he was at a disadvantage. Not only was he poisoned, but he also had something on his hands.
Left with no other choice, he had to back down: "Fine, since things have come to this, just tell me what you need me to do to make this end!"
Dongfang Wan'er gave Ye Jinghao an appreciative look: "Very good. As the saying goes, a wise man submits to circumstances. I hope you will do your best to compete for the position of Crown Prince and eventually ascend the throne!"
These words struck Ye Jinghao like a thunderbolt, leaving him utterly astonished.
"Forgive my ignorance, but I truly cannot understand what benefit this would bring you?" Ye Jinghao frowned, his face full of suspicion.
After all, he couldn't understand why this mysterious woman would suddenly make such a request and insist on helping him achieve his goal.
"There's no need to ask why; it's simply because I've developed a deep-seated aversion to nighttime views!"
"Do you have a grudge against him?"
"Don't worry about this. Listen carefully, just focus on handling your own responsibilities. Here, take this. With your abilities, you'll definitely make it work!"
After saying that, Dongfang Wan'er threw the letter she had found in Dongfang Zheng's secret room to Ye Jinghao without hesitation.
