Jiu E opened his mouth to say something, but ultimately said nothing. Only he understood in his heart that the Poisonous Insect inside the Crown Prince had gone undetected for so many years. A little more time, and the Crown Prince would be doomed.
Once the Crown Prince dies, the position in the East Palace would be vacant, and those Princes who thought themselves capable would not sit idly by. The Great Xuan Dynasty would certainly be in turmoil.
By then, everything would be more convenient to do.
However, it was precisely at this time that the Crown Prince suddenly recovered.
The Crown Prince recovered, and even the Emperorās attitude toward him had changed, this...
So, he did not think their upcoming plan would succeed.
He even felt that his silver notes and private seals were stolen by Yang Ruxin, although he had no evidence and Yang Ruxin had never been near him, but he just had this intuition.
He also had no confidence in the afternoonās competition.
However, since Jin Mai came, he would let him take charge of everything, and as for himself... he would just be a follower.
"What about General Hei Shu?"
"That fool!" Jin Mai sneered, "Life or death doesnāt matter."
Jiu E frowned, but eventually nodded.
Because it was hot and there was no need to fight, the competition was set in the Jinluan Hall.
In the spacious palace, basins of ice were placed, exuding a hint of cool air, much more comfortable than being outdoors.
"Sister Ruxin, let me assist you." Hen Ziyue volunteered.
Yang Ruxin nodded.
The person opposing them was indeed that tall and thin man.
Yang Ruxin disliked him at first sight because his eyes were too gloomy, making people feel... very uncomfortable.
"Emperor of Daxuan, is it that the Great Xuan Dynasty has no one?" The man named Ba Kang looked at Yang Ruxin with a dark and disdainful gaze, "To let a woman take the stage... On our prairie, women are just for giving birth..."
"Lord Ba Kang, itās because our Great Xuan is full of talented people that we donāt need men to deal with someone like you. I, a woman, am more than enough." Yang Ruxin snorted, "Only if you defeat me will you be qualified to face the men of our Great Xuan..."
People around the Great Xuan all showed a slight expression, although... Although they didnāt have the poison skills, they didnāt want to be looked down upon, did they?
Madam Ruyi is really impressive.
Ba Kang frowned at Yang Ruxin: "Are you sure?"
Yang Ruxin nodded: "Now, how would you like to compete, please indicate. Iām ready for anything."
"Are you sure?"
"In front of so many people, can I talk nonsense?" Yang Ruxin spread her hands, "So, letās not waste time."
Ba Kang sneered: "Alright then, weāll compete three times."
Yang Ruxin nodded: "Even thirty times would do."
"Make sure not to kneel and beg for mercy then..."
"Canāt a big man like you stop dawdling?" Yang Ruxin frowned, "Arenāt you irritated with your constant blabbering?"
Ba Kangās mouth twitched; there were actually people eager to die. Since that was the case, there was no need to be polite. He immediately took out a bottle: "Inside is a venomous poison I concocted. You can also bring out your poison, weāll take them crosswise, then detox ourselves..."
"And if we canāt detox?"
"Then we leave it to fate." Ba Kang spread his hands.
Those around instantly took a sharp breath, taking poison and detoxing themselves? This... isnāt this too reckless?
