Cultivation Begins with Caring for Sister-in-law

Chapter 800 - 805, - 806: Drugged (Part 2)

At this moment, Xingyin also walked in and said, "These days are the funeral of aunt, so everything is kept simple, without music or dancing girls. I hope Mother will understand.""That’s only natural," said Queen Yelang.

Before Xingyin took his seat, he first went to the incense burner, ignited the spices inside, and then summoned the kitchen to serve the dishes.

The Western Regions produce a lot of spices, so the fragrance is particularly cheap. Every household in the Western Regions burns incense, so Xingyin’s behavior was not strange.

Although Princess Deti paid attention, with the Empress present, her vigilance was not very strong. Perhaps she did not place her guard against the incense.

Before the dishes were served, Queen Yelang once more spoke of the death of Princess Deti’s parents, feeling sympathetic towards her.

Sweeping her gaze over at Xingyin below, Queen Yelang couldn’t help but speak out, saying she would take care of Princess Deti in the future and even mentioned that if Princess Deti didn’t mind, she could call her mother.

Xingyin frowned but said nothing.

Princess Deti refused, stating that in terms of seniority, she should call Queen Yelang "Aunt." Changing it to "Mother" wouldn’t be appropriate.

"Indeed, I’ve been overly concerned," Queen Yelang laughed awkwardly and then began worrying about Princess Deti’s marriage.

She asked if Princess Deti had a favored gentleman in mind, and if not, she could help find one, promising that Princess Deti would be satisfied.

This time, before Princess Deti could speak, Xingyin interjected, "Mother, Aunt hasn’t even been buried yet, and you’re arranging a marriage for Deti. Isn’t it inappropriate?"

Princess Deti didn’t think much about it but agreed, saying she wasn’t willing to discuss marriage while her mother had just passed away.

Seeing this, Queen Yelang sighed inwardly, stealing glances at Xingyin who seemed intent on revealing his teeth to Princess Deti, hesitating to speak.

Xingyin noticed Queen Yelang’s discomfort and somberly said, "Mother seems to miss Deti a lot, causing some incoherence."

Queen Yelang could sense it was a warning and deflated instantly, merely saying that Princess Deti should visit the palace to keep her company whenever possible.

Princess Deti nodded in agreement.

At this point, the kitchen began serving the dishes.

Although Xingyin said everything was kept simple, as a banquet hosted by the Prince’s Mansion, it was still filled with color, aroma, and flavor, not simple at all.

Princess Deti did not pick up her chopsticks first for each dish. She waited until Queen Yelang and Xingyin had tasted them, and she ate very little.

Just then, Xingyin brought a pot of wine to pour for both Queen Yelang and Princess Deti.

Princess Deti instantly became alert, though she didn’t show it on her face, using the excuse that she needed to keep vigil for her mother later to decline.

Xingyin didn’t press the matter, apologizing and saying he almost forgot, also deciding not to drink.

Princess Deti didn’t want to stay too long at Xingyin’s mansion, thus she only exchanged a few pleasantries with Queen Yelang before taking the initiative to discuss the burial arrangements for her mother.

But at this moment, Princess Deti’s exposed white skin beneath her red tight attire suddenly blushed with a faint pink hue, and a mysterious urgency surged within her.

Princess Deti clearly noticed something amiss, and beneath the table, she clenched her fists, letting her sharp nails pierce into the flesh, hoping to use the pain to suppress the mysterious urgency.

But it was useless; her body became hot, and beside this, her gaze also became slightly dazed. She saw the hall filled with a rose-colored mist.

"So hot..."

Next to her, Queen Yelang fared even worse. Her exposed skin turned an unusual shade of crimson, and she directly began stripping her palace dress in front of Princess Deti and Xingyin, struggling as her once clear eyes battled internally.

"Empress, you..."

Princess Deti’s face changed drastically upon seeing Queen Yelang’s condition. She struggled to get up but soon limply fell back down. Just then, her ears caught Xingyin’s laughter.

Princess Deti turned her head and saw Xingyin drinking large gulps from the wine pot, with half pouring into his mouth and the other half spilling onto his clothes.

"Ding..."

Xingyin tossed the wine pot aside, showing a satisfied smile.

Princess Deti immediately realized Xingyin’s conspiracy, struggling to question, "What have you done to me?"

"What?" Xingyin laughed manically and said, "Something that the Eldest Princess never accomplished, hahaha..."

"You..." Her rationality was gradually fading away. Princess Deti’s body kept trembling as she remembered the words spoken by the mysterious person that night, clenching her teeth and murmuring, "Was it you who killed Mother?"

"I never wanted to kill her. If only the drug worked, but Aunt resolutely refused, and I accidentally..."

"Beast!" Princess Deti cursed, her voice trembling.

Xingyin was not angry; instead, he perversely laughed and said, "Rest assured, this time the drug is strong enough. Maybe after tonight, Deti, you won’t want to leave me."

"Shameless scoundrel," Princess Deti cursed while struggling to crawl out.

Xingyin did not rush. He slowly closed the hall doors and began to undo his robe, walking towards Queen Yelang and saying, "Deti, stop struggling. You can’t escape. You could have been okay, but you refused to drink. I forgot to tell you that the wine was the antidote."

By now, he was before Queen Yelang, rustling about, then turned to look at Princess Deti, "Don’t rush, Deti, you’re next."

Princess Deti was shocked by Xingyin’s beastly conduct. How dare he even...

But she couldn’t struggle any longer; her hard-fought rationality was on the verge of complete collapse.

In the final moment before rationality was utterly lost, she saw a figure appear before her. This figure wasn’t Xingyin, and she couldn’t clearly see who it was, only managing to tremble and say, "Don’t... don’t touch me..."

...

Half an hour earlier.

Chen Mo reached the Third Prince’s Mansion.

"This guy’s household defense is quite thorough, so many official soldiers,"

Chen Mo murmured, but also considered that Xingyin should be aware of the Underground Palace incident outside the city.

Now that Nalan Yiren’s great enemy was avenged, he came to find Xingyin first to settle the score for the Underground Palace.

The second was for Lin Xuelan, demanding that he release Lin Kong and the Lin Family, and lift the wanted order for Lin Xuelan and others.

After some searching, he reached the roof above the hall, noticing commotion below.

He uncovered a piece of tile and saw a man committing indecent acts towards a beautiful woman and spotted Princess Deti there too.

But when he heard the man’s address towards the beautiful woman, he was also dumbfounded.

Such depravity.

Realizing the perpetrator was Xingyin, Chen Mo rushed in directly.

When Xingyin noticed something was wrong, Chen Mo swiftly delivered a hand blade, knocking him out.

Seeing the beautiful woman still engaging in the act, Chen Mo frowned and knocked her out as well.

"Hot, so hot..."

Princess Deti crawled towards Chen Mo, feeling around his calf.

Chen Mo realized Princess Deti was still fully clothed because the outfit was hard to remove.

Not hesitating, Chen Mo knocked Princess Deti out as well.

Originally, he came to take Xingyin hostage.

But leaving Princess Deti here might harm her.

So Chen Mo decided to take Princess Deti too.

Before leaving, Chen Mo thought of something, picked up the palace skirt that the beautiful woman had taken off, and covered her with it, then lifted each person and left the Third Prince’s Mansion.

Because Xingyin had dismissed all the servants around the hall before handling this matter.

Therefore, it wasn’t until half an hour after Chen Mo left that the mansion’s servants realized the Third Prince and Princess Deti were gone.

Some servants found the big hole inside the hall, immediately guessing that the Third Prince and Princess Deti might have been abducted.
