The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny Chapter 239 - At A Loss

Chapter 239 - At A Loss

Xie Qiao thought those ghouls were loud, and her head was hurting.
Her face was flushing, she felt dizzy with alcohol filling her body. She wondered…how much she had drunk.
Now that she could not speak and that she had little strength, she thought she would just shut her eyes to rest. However, those chatters were so loud that her head was going to explode.
After tolerating for approximately an hour, her mouth felt loose.
The piece of soft cloth was being removed.
Zhao Xuanjing placed the soft cloth aside and said nothing.
It could be cruel to cover her mouth for the entire night. She would have to move around, or her face would be swollen tomorrow.
"Could you untie me, Your Highness?" Xie Qiao's voice was hoarse, and it was weak. She felt pain in her face as soon as she spoke. She felt horrible.
Zhao Xuanjing was stunned. He turned around to look at her.
Xie Qiao locked eyes with him calmly. She seemed a little tired, as well as helpless. Although she was pale, she looked natural.
"If I untie you, you will become another person right away," Zhao Xuanjing thought about it and said calmly.
Xie Qiao sighed.
What the Crown Prince said made sense.
However, she looked like she was an innocent lady who was being stolen. She looked pitiful.
Moreover, she dared not ask what had happened.
The Crown Prince had the face of a good man. He would not be tempted easily. Therefore, she definitely did not believe in what the ghouls said. On the contrary, she dared not even think about what the ghouls used her body for!
Xie Qiao secretly checked out Zhao Xuanjing.
He was so calm, majestic, and mysterious. The moonlight by the window shone onto him. He was glorious and quiet, his appearance stood out among all.
She did not see promiscuity on him…
However, that would not apply to herself. She really would not be able to tell what she had done to him.
She felt troubled.
She could not believe that she did not have the upper hand in this when it was such a great opportunity.
Xie Qiao had thoughts flying in her head, while she then realized something suddenly. She asked carefully in a testing manner, "Your Highness… I was misbehaving when I had too much to drink. A-Are you overthinking it?"
"Are you talking about the 20 to 30 ghouls around?" Zhao Xuanjing scoffed and smiled.
Xie Qiao chuckled and pursed her lips, "There are so many… I didn't know that…"
"Stop pretending, I've already asked everything that I should know," Zhao Xuanjing closed the book, "Young Lady Xie, I thought you were just a half-immortal. I didn't know that you can see ghouls with your eyes?"
He had seen Xie Qiao perform division, detect aura and read Fengshui. However, he thought she was just smart.
He had never thought that she could see those things that they should not see with her eyes.
Xie Qiao looked away.
"I'm well-versed in Taoism. My third eye has been opened since young, it made sense that I can see those things," Xie Qiao gave herself an excuse.
"It's not that I've never met a powerful Taoist master. They're not as capable as you," Zhao Xuanjing looked at her, not sure if he was smiling.
Xie Qiao looked embarrassed.
"Are you going to burn me alive, Your Highness?" Since she was being exposed, she could only admit it, to which she said, "Since Your Highness already knew, I'm sure you're aware of what's happening with you? You're covered in strong dark energy. It'll only influence you more as time goes by. If Your Highness keeps the secret for me, I'll treat this problem of yours. Do we have a deal?"
The Crown Prince's problem was difficult to be treated! She was at a loss!
