Book One, Chapter 125
A few days later!
The remaining alchemy faction retreated, believing that there was no need to attack the Ice Origin Kingdom anymore. Even if they did, they would suffer great losses, and the gains would not make up for the losses.
As soon as this faction retreated, the Pure Ice King's side made their move.
An old man wearing black clothes knelt in front of the Pure Ice King and said, "Your Majesty! Bing Qixue and the Second Princess Consort have already taken my poison. This poison is colorless and odorless, and normal people are unable to detect it. Taking it once won't be dangerous, but taking it many times will be fatal. "
"Your Majesty wants the Second Princess and her son to die within three months. Just let them take the poison once a month, and they won't show symptoms of poisoning. Your Majesty can rest assured."
The Pure Ice King smiled in satisfaction, "Alright! You can leave first! "
The old man nodded and left.
"Three months?"
The Pure Ice King wondered if it was too long, but it would be too obvious if the mother and son died in such a short time. The Pure Ice King decided to let them live for another three months.
The Ice Demon and Bing Qixue did not know about this.
In the main hall, the Pure Ice King began to evaluate the merits and rewards.
The greatest contributor was naturally Bing Qixue. The Pure Ice King called him up and gave him a generous reward.
Everyone felt quite surprised. They had thought that the Pure Ice King would cripple Bing Qixue, but after thinking about it, it was not yet time to do so. However, Bing Qixue would not be the Legatee, so there would not be any surprises.
Next, it was Bing Wuyi's turn to accept the Pure Ice King's reward.
Everyone looked at Bing Wuyi. After Bing Qixue was destroyed, he would be the new Legatee. If he was lucky, after Pure Ice King died of old age, he would become the future King.
After the reward ceremony was over, the celebratory feast began.
The Pure Ice King and his family sat at the same table. Other than the five Princesses that Zhao Fu had seen before, there was also a pale, beautiful woman wearing a plain white dress. She was the Third Princess, Pure Ice Jade.
She usually stayed in the palace to recuperate. If it wasn't for such a joyous occasion, she wouldn't have come out.
Seeing that she did not have many years left to live, the Icy Demon let her go.
Ice Spirit Valley, Bing Qixue, and Bing Wuyi were also sitting at the table.
The Pure Ice King smiled and said, "It's been a long time since our family sat together like this!"
Bing Hu 'er lightly smiled and said, "That's right! We haven't had a meal together in a long time. Let's enjoy this warm reunion. "
Icily Charming smiled as she raised her glass and said, "Of course, let me toast Your Majesty!"
The ice-cold demon drank the wine.
The Pure Ice King laughed and drank the wine in front of him. He praised, "Second Princess, you have a good son. He abandoned his studies and is very talented. He will become a good king in the future. Don't worry, I will support him."
The Icy Immortal felt strange. She did not understand why the Pure Ice King would say such a thing. She did not believe that he would not abolish his son.
Bing Qixue felt a dense sense of fatherly love and felt a sense of warmth in his heart.
Bing Wuyi was very unhappy. He was still waiting for the Pure Ice King to cripple Bing Qixue so that he could become the new successor.
Icy Cold Clothes frowned slightly. Judging from the tone of the Icy King, he would not abolish the School of Ice. This would put them at a disadvantage.
When the Pure Ice King said this, he naturally had a purpose. He did not want anyone to suspect that he was the one who poisoned the mother and son.
The Icy Demoness smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Icy Cold Clothes could not help but laugh. "Your Majesty! Not only did Qixue perform well, but my son also did well. "
The Pure Ice King smiled and nodded, "I know, I won't mistreat him."
Frost Leaf sat on his seat and watched the parties fighting openly and covertly. He did not want to say anything.
The Third Princess lightly coughed a few times.
The Pure Ice King smiled as he said, "Third Princess, you're not feeling well, so you should go back first!"
Icy Cold Jade apologetically said, "I'm sorry for interrupting everyone's fun!"
Icy Cold Clothes looked at Icy Cold Jade. Her parents had been ordered to be killed by the Pure Ice King, and now that she was sick, it seemed that she would not live for long. Icy Cold Clothes said gently to such a pitiful woman, "It's fine. You should rest well and not come out."
Icy Cold Jade smiled as she looked at Icy Cold Clothes and said, "I'll be going back first!"
After Icy Cold Jade left, everyone continued to celebrate.
At that moment, Icy Cold Jade walked to her palace by herself and suddenly saw a person walking around, feeling quite unfamiliar. She asked curiously, "Who are you?"
Zhao Fu felt quite bored and looked at the sickly beauty as he smiled and said, "Me? You probably don't know me, but it seems like you're sick. "
Icy Cold Jade felt that Zhao Fu did not have any ill intentions, so he should not be a bad person. She said weakly, "Mm, I'm sick."
Zhao Fu smiled as he said, "I just learned how to treat all sorts of strange illnesses. Can I treat you?"
Icy Cold Jade smiled as she said, "Sure, thank you!"
Zhao Fu smiled as he said, "You're welcome!"
Icy Cold Jade wanted to say something, but she suddenly felt dizzy and her body powerlessly fell over.
Zhao Fu immediately caught Icy Cold Jade, who was about to fall over, and asked caringly, "How are you?"
Icy Cold Jade lay in Zhao Fu's embrace and felt Zhao Fu's aura. She felt quite comfortable and her face became slightly red as she said, "I'm fine!"
Zhao Fu smiled as he said, "I'll take you back!"
Zhao Fu said as he picked up Icy Cold Jade's body.
Icy Cold Jade said softly, "Don't be like this. I'm a Princess, and it's not good for others to see me."
Zhao Fu laughed as he said, "But there's no one around right now. Also, if I put you down, can you go back by yourself?"
Hearing this, Icy Cold Jade did not say anything and allowed Zhao Fu to carry her into the room with a red face.
The banquet ended.
Bing Qixue said, "Mother, I think it's best that you don't continue with your plan. There's still time, and I feel that Royal Father doesn't have any intentions of harming us. "
The Icy Cold Demon frowned as she said, "I also felt that his attitude today was quite strange, but based on my understanding of him, he wouldn't be so kind."
Bing Qixue continued to say, "I don't really want the throne. If possible, I'd rather our family reunite like today."
The Icy Cold Demon said coldly, "You don't need to say anything else; I won't give up."
Bing Qixue called out, "Mother, don't make things difficult for me!"
The Icy Cold Demon said, "Little brother! You're not doing this for us or for yourself; you're a citizen of the Ice Origin Kingdom. Think about it, if Royal Father doesn't abdicate, the Ice Origin Kingdom will be destroyed by his hands. Do you want the Ice Origin Kingdom to be destroyed? "
"I …" Bing Qixue did not know what to say.
In another room, Bing Wuyi said angrily, "Mother, this isn't going according to plan. I don't think Royal Father wants to abdicate my Second Brother at all; what should we do now?"
Icy Cold Clothes said seriously, "I was quite surprised today as well. If he doesn't want to abdicate Bing Qixue, the situation will be disadvantageous to us. Not only will you become King, but we'll also be in danger."
Bing Xianhua said worriedly, "Right now, our faction is too weak. If we try to seize power, we won't succeed."
Icy Cold Clothes said with a cold expression, "Right now, there's only one way!"
