The Sickly Regent Prince Who Was Abandoned as a Substitute Bride

Chapter 111 Xiao Zixuan Faints

"Aaaaaah! Who are you? Where is my young lady? Where did you take her? Give me back my young lady!" Xiao Cui stared in terror at the person before her...

"Shut up!" Chu Lian'er suddenly spoke, her tone cold and decisive. She casually tossed a hidden weapon, which struck Xiao Cui precisely between the eyebrows.

Xiao Cui's eyes widened in terror as she collapsed to the ground, dying with her eyes wide open.

Ye Jiuchen frowned. He was displeased with Chu Lian'er's actions, but he didn't show it. He knew that the most important thing now was to figure out Chu Lian'er's intentions and purpose.

"You..." An Ye watched Xiao Cui die in front of him and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This woman is indeed vicious!

"Hey, young man, are you feeling sorry for this girl? Oh dear, I wish I hadn't killed her, hehe..." Chu Lian'er swayed her body and laughed charmingly.

"Dark Night, get her out of here." Ye Jiuchen frowned; he simply couldn't stand the smell emanating from Chu Lian'er.

"Oh, Ninth Brother, are you feeling sorry for your guard? But Ninth Brother, Lian'er has another question for you. How did you recognize me?" Chu Lian'er said as she approached Ye Jiuchen.

Ye Jiuchen dodged to the side and said mercilessly, "Jiang Pingping is weak and has a faint smell of medicine on her body, while you only smell bad."

"You..." Chu Lian'er's face instantly darkened, but she quickly regained her feigned smile and said coquettishly, "Oh, Ninth Brother, you really know how to joke~"

"Clap clap clap clap clap clap..." Xiao Zixuan clapped his hands, a mocking smile on his face, and said, "I've heard that there is a princess in the State of Chu who loves to bewitch people and is deeply loved by the Emperor of Chu. Seeing her today, I can see that she lives up to her reputation. Hahahaha..." His laughter echoed in the air, carrying a hint of mockery and contempt.

Upon hearing these words, Chu Lian'er's eyes turned cold, and her beautiful face instantly became icy. Without hesitation, she launched a hidden weapon with lightning speed, carrying a sharp killing intent.

However, Xiao Zixuan easily blocked the attack with his fan. A smug smile appeared on his lips. "Oh, Princess Lian'er, you're so cruel! You almost took my life..." His tone was full of teasing and mockery.

After Xiao Zixuan finished speaking, he flashed forward like a ghost and swiftly grabbed Chu Lian'er by the neck. His movements were so fast that no one could react, and Chu Lian'er was immediately held tightly and unable to move.

"You!...cough cough cough!" Chu Lian'er was being choked by Xiao Zixuan, struggling to breathe, her face turning red. But she didn't give in; instead, she leaned against Xiao Zixuan, trying to find an opportunity to fight back.

Xiao Zixuan felt Chu Lian'er's approach and, as if touched by something filthy, quickly released his grip and took a few steps back. A look of disgust crossed his face, indicating extreme discomfort with Chu Lian'er's touch.

Seeing Xiao Zixuan retreat, Chu Lian'er's eyes flashed, and she seized the opportunity to strike. A worm flew from her hand with incredible speed, like lightning, heading straight for Xiao Zixuan's face.

Ye Jiuchen's face instantly turned extremely gloomy. He quickly drew his sword, leaped forward, and without hesitation cleaved the disgusting worm in two.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Jiuchen drew his sword and charged directly at Chu Lian'er. Chu Lian'er retreated in terror, her body already bearing many wounds.

"I'm not fighting anymore! It's not fun at all, Ninth Brother, I admit defeat..." Chu Lian'er was secretly shocked, not expecting Ye Jiuchen to be so ruthless towards her.

Ye Jiuchen slowly sheathed his sword and said coldly, "If there's a next time, I will never spare your life. Don't think that just because you're a princess of Chu, I won't dare to kill you..."

Looking at the dead insects on the ground, Xiao Zixuan asked curiously, "Cousin, what are these?"

Ye Jiuchen glared at him and replied irritably, "Gu, Chu Lian'er is most skilled at Gu worms. You almost died at this woman's hands just now..."

After saying that, Ye Jiuchen shook his head helplessly, thinking that Xiao Zixuan was still the same as before, always underestimating his opponent and being careless.

"Damn it, Chu Lian'er, you're so vicious! You actually tried to use a curse on me..." Xiao Zixuan took several steps back in terror, his eyes fixed on the insect on the ground, afraid that it would suddenly come to life and pounce on him. His heart was racing, and a fine layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. He was secretly glad that he hadn't been bitten by this strange insect.

"Hehe, I was just joking. Li Yunshan, so it's Brother Zixuan..." Chu Lian'er giggled and covered her mouth, her eyes curving into crescent shapes, a sly glint in them. She deliberately feigned innocence, but secretly she was pleased with herself.

"Get lost! Who the hell is joking with you?" Xiao Zixuan waved his hand impatiently, his disgust for Chu Lian'er palpable. He truly didn't want to see this woman, and even less did he want to have anything to do with her again.

"How heartbreaking, Ninth Brother. I will get my revenge for the injuries you sustained today..." Chu Lian'er said, a sinister smile creeping onto her lips. She suddenly threw something on the ground, filling the room with a pungent odor.

"It's poisonous, hold your breath..." Ye Jiuchen frowned, realizing the situation was dire, and immediately warned everyone. His voice was low and serious, revealing a tense atmosphere.

"Hmm..." Xiao Zixuan nodded, indicating that he understood. However, at that moment, he suddenly felt dizzy and his vision went black. His body tilted forward uncontrollably. With a thud, he fell heavily to the ground.

Ye Jiuchen: "..."

As the smoke gradually dissipated, Ye Jiuchen looked at Xiao Zixuan lying unconscious on the ground, a helpless expression on his face.

A hint of dissatisfaction flashed in Ye Jiuchen's eyes; he was somewhat disappointed that Xiao Zixuan had fallen so easily. Ye Jiuchen's expression also changed, a rare occurrence, a faint trace of worry appearing on his previously cold face. …

“Master…” An Ye carefully pushed open the door and frowned when he saw Xiao Zixuan lying sprawled on the cold ground.

"Dark Night, carry him back. He probably won't wake up for a while. That smoke seems a bit strange; it might be poisonous. When Wan'er arrives, have her check on him," Ye Jiuchen calmly instructed.

"Yes, Master," An Ye replied, stepping forward to hoist Xiao Zixuan onto his back. Ye Jiuchen also stood up, dusted himself off, and flew away with An Ye. Their figures quickly disappeared into the night, heading towards the military camp.
