Wen Zhan was filled with curiosity, his brows slightly furrowed, and his eyes sparkled with doubt as he involuntarily asked, "Is there really a snake? The way Six Princess and Lu Mingzhan were startled didn't seem like an act. Just look at their terrified expressions and frantic movements, especially Six Princess; her face was pale, completely losing her usual composure.
Her complexion was ashen, her eyes wide open, and her lips trembled as if she had seen a ghost. Moreover, the few people who came down the mountain later were even more panicked, stumbling and running as if the end of the world had come. Their disheveled appearance was truly frightening."
As he spoke, he recalled the chaotic scenes of those people, trying to seek answers from Yun Qingyu, his gaze fixed intently on her, filled with a thirst for knowledge.
Yun Qingyu's expression was calm as she replied, "It was merely a clumsy trick by Lu Mingzhan and Yun Yiling. They deliberately lured This Palace up the mountain. In the Pavilion, they staged a scene where Lu Mingzhan was belittled and humiliated, hoping to stir old feelings in This Palace for him; their eyes were full of schemes."
Her tone carried a hint of disdain, as if she had long seen through their plot. She slightly raised her chin, a flicker of contempt passing through her eyes.
Wen Zhan paused for a moment, a glimmer of realization flashing in his eyes before he slowly nodded, moving his head up and down. "Indeed quite clumsy; such petty tricks could only fool children. They underestimate Your Highness far too much."
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a mocking smile that carried derision for Lu Mingzhan and Six Princess.
Yun Qingyu's voice turned cold, her eyes flashing with a glint like a sharp blade. "Hmph, seeing that This Palace wasn't fooled, those few then lured the snake swarm up the mountain to deal with This Palace. Well then, let them taste what it's like to be chased by a horde of snakes."
Her gaze sharpened like an angry phoenix, exuding an aura of authority.
"Lured the snake swarm?" Wen Zhan frowned deeply, worry etched across his face as he spoke with tension in his voice. "What method did they use? Don't they fear backlash? Once the snake swarm goes out of control, it won't distinguish between master and enemy; the consequences would be unimaginable."
His tone was filled with confusion and shock at such dangerous behavior as he leaned slightly forward.
Yun Qingyu thought of how Six Princess had screamed and fled earlier; her mood lightened somewhat as she smirked slightly and decided to satisfy Wen Zhan's curiosity. "Yun Yiling and Lu Mingzhan both carried special-scented sachets. They thought they could avoid the snake swarm's attacks with this but ended up suffering the consequences themselves."
A faint smile curled at the corners of her mouth, a satisfaction derived from the enemies reaping what they sow, with a glimmer of delight shining in her eyes.
Wen Zhan fell silent for a moment, his brow furrowed and his expression turning grave. His gaze became serious as he said, "This scheme is truly malicious. Among the snakes they have summoned, there must be venomous ones. If anyone gets bitten by these snakes, it could be fatal in an instant. The Sixth Princess intends to put the Eldest Princess to death!"
His eyes were filled with anger, feeling both indignant and worried for Yun Qingyu. Flames of fury burned in his gaze. "If the Eldest Princess is really bitten by a poisonous snake, no one will be able to prove that it was the Sixth Princess's doing; at most, it would be deemed an accident. After all, everyone knows that there are snakes lurking in the mountains, and being bitten by a venomous snake in such a place is not uncommon. The Sixth Princess's scheme is deeply cunning; her malice is truly extraordinary."
He clenched his fists tightly, the veins on his hands bulging as he felt an overwhelming rage towards the Sixth Princess's actions, as if the fire in his eyes was about to erupt.
