I'm a princess, so what if I have three husbands?

Chapter 24 Young Master Feng, I Have a Request

She blinked slowly: "Let's go to Mother's Palace."

Yuanling Palace

A woman who looked eight parts like Zhong Liyu was sitting at the table, gently fanning herself with a silk fan and sipping tea.

But upon closer inspection, there are differences; she is even more charming than Zhong Liyu.

Every smile, every frown, every gesture exuded allure; this woman was Zhong Liyu's mother—Yin Manling.

Zhong Liyu entered from outside the door and bowed slightly: "Daughter greets Mother."

"Yu'er, you've arrived." The fox-like woman raised her beautiful eyes slightly, looking at Zhong Liyu, as if she had known she was coming all along.

Zhong Liyu walked over and sat down opposite Yin Manling.

His brows were furrowed, and he gripped the teacup tightly in one hand, looking indignant.

"What's wrong, my Yu'er?" Yin Manling gently placed her hand on the back of her hand to comfort her.

“Mother, why has Zhongli Yueluo suddenly changed her personality? I feel like I can’t control her.”

"I've heard about what's happened these past two days. Could it be that she's been bewitched by some kind of evil curse? Wasn't she always someone you could easily manipulate?"

Zhong Liyu shook her head. She wasn't sure either, but today she had changed her mind and was going to ask Gongshu Liang for help.

Maybe once the bewitching effect wears off, she'll revert to her old self?

"She said she would be meeting Gongshu Liang alone tomorrow, and to ensure everything goes smoothly, I want to ask my mother for that thing."

"Aren't you the same as Gongshu Liang?"

"To act in collusion with him for the sake of our fox clan's great cause is merely a temporary expedient."

"Besides, he's one of us. I can't miss the chance to get that bitch under our control!"

"Good, that's the demeanor a young master of my fox clan should have. But that stuff is too potent, so use it sparingly to avoid clouding your judgment."

"Shh, Mother, be careful what you say."

"Don't worry, the reason why Emperor Zhongli Quan has never suspected me in the past thousand years is because of that Fox Fragrance Pill."

"Daughter thanks Mother." Zhong Liyu and Yin Manling exchanged a smile.

A maidservant, as effeminate as a puppet, brought over the Fox Fragrance Pill and handed it to Zhongli Yu.

She took the box and left with her trusted confidant.

Touching the box, a cold smile curled at the corner of her lips. She thought to herself, "This time, Zhongli Yueluo, how do you think you'll escape my grasp?"

Zhongli Yu returned to Yuanyue Pavilion and said to his trusted confidant, "Divide this in two, and send the extra to Young Master Gongshu."

He then added, "Send the smaller amount to Zhongli Yueluo, not to her. Just burn it in the incense burner tomorrow evening."

"Yes, Princess."

But a flicker of fear crossed the eyes of the two maids following behind them.

These were spies planted by the Wind Spirit Ghost Clan and the Ferocious Clan. Upon hearing this, each had their own plans.

One maidservant went to deliver medicine to Gongshu Liang, while another maidservant delivered the half-pill to Yuanyue Pavilion.

The two maids who heard the news later hid behind each other and waited for an opportunity to sneak out.

Zhongli Yueluo stayed in the room, waiting for them to arrive.

She thought that He Yuhuan was so sensitive to scents that she would definitely know if someone brought poison or drugs.

But when she glanced back at He Yuhuan, who was playing with pastries by sticking her fingernails into them, she became less sure.

"Yu Huan, if any unfamiliar maids come to deliver things later, you need to check if they're there to harm us, understand?"

"Don't worry, Master." She chuckled.

A moment later, they heard Tao Xia talking to someone outside.

Then Taoxia respectfully called out from outside, "Princess, the Queen has sent over many hairpins and skirts."

Zhongli Yueluo looked puzzled. Her stepmother? Giving her a hairpin and skirt?

What kind of nonsense is this? He Yuhuan sniffed the air; it smelled amazing.

She sneezed twice in a row, then searched her memory for the taste of the brain she had eaten.

Yes! It drifted from near Wanmojian, and it tastes pretty good. It looks like it died in a dream of being in a gentle paradise.

"Master, I have Fox Fragrance Pills."

Zhongli Yuelu didn't know what it was, and was also curious how He Yuhuan seemed to know about all kinds of poisons and incense.

"What does it do?"

"It's just a good dream, I've only ever seen dead things, never living ones." She blinked innocently, speaking with a straight face.

Zhongli Yueluo roughly understood the function of the Fox Fragrance Pill: to paralyze a person's nerves and control their thoughts.

So, in her past life, her father might have been controlled by Yin Manling using this method.

After all, the fox clan always comes up with ways to entice and numb people.

She squinted and smiled, pretending to be very happy.

"Taoxia, quickly bring in those beautiful clothes so I can take a look. Mother has always had good taste, and I love Mother the most."

"Yes, Princess," Tao Xia replied, a hint of triumph flashing in her eyes.

He wondered how he should put the fox-scented pill into the incense burner if she refused these things.

"Wow, this shimmering brocade is really beautiful. Have you sent one to your sister yet?"

"If I have it but my sister doesn't, will she be angry with me?" She frowned slightly and puffed out her cheeks, looking aggrieved.

"Don't worry, the eldest princess has some too."

Tao Xia secretly put the fox-scented pill into the incense burner. Zhong Li Yuelu secretly glimpsed it and realized that this was probably similar to the scheme she had been planning.

Zhong Liyu wanted to wait until he had that kind of thing with Gongshu Liangliang before letting everyone watch.

That would surely infuriate her father!

While holding the jewelry up to her head, Zhongli Yueluo secretly observed Taoxia's expression.

"Taoxia, go out first and change into your best clothes. When Brother Liang comes, he will definitely praise me."

She put on a shy and coy expression.

"Yes, Your Highness, this servant will take her leave."

Tao Xia squinted as she retreated, thinking to herself that she really was still that brainless second princess.

After Tao Xia left, Zhongli Yueluo's eyes turned cold, and she casually tossed the hairpin aside.

He Yuhuan stood in front of the small incense burner and pinched out half of the fox-scented pill with her fingernail: "It smells so good."

"Yu Huan, I'm going out for a bit. Don't follow me. I have to repay this person with my own methods!"

"Oh, come back soon." She yawned, walked to the bedside, and lightly jumped up to lie on the bed in a starfish position.

She shook her head, turned around, and in a flash of light, she was still wearing that black and purple dress. She secretly slipped away through the back window.

After leaving Yuanyue Pavilion, he headed straight for the place where the Wind Spirit Ghost Clan lived.

She now needs Su Fengjun's help, since he is the only one who can sneak into Yuanyu Pavilion without anyone noticing.

Su Fengjun remained indifferent to Zhongli Yueluo's return.

Su Fengling hid and observed from the shadows.

"Princess, why have you returned?" Moreover, it seemed that she was still injured.

"I have a favor to ask of you."

She grabbed Su Fengjun's arm with both hands, revealing a pitiful look on her face, her crescent-shaped eyebrows furrowed.

Su Fengjun forcefully pulled her hand back, her expression somewhat unnatural, her eyes looking in another direction.

"This is your territory in West Demon Mountain. What else could possibly make the princess beg me for help?"

"Yes, I want you to..."

She whispered in his ear, and although he didn't want to listen, he clenched his fists and pondered after hearing the reason.
