_____________________________

Dinner banquet has been running since 2 hours ago. The Emperor continued to chat with his business associates while introducing his Daughters to the nobility of the neighboring country. The Emperor introduced his three Daughters, namely Wang Xinian the first Princess, Shan Qiayu the fourth princess and Shua Xie the fifth daughter.

This event was attended by 4 nobles from 4 neighboring countries, but these 4 nobles were not great nobles who ruled in their country. On average they were prime minister nobles from large noble families. But the Emperor did not take issue with it, the important thing was to have a crutch if one day the Xuilin country ran into big trouble.

"The Emperor had a beautiful and sweet Princess. Surely their descendants will be beautiful like his mother and handsome like his father," praised Prime Minister Chang Guan was amazed to see his future son-in-law so beautiful.

Prime Minister Chang Guan is from the country of Cuzzia. He was the Prime Minister of the great kingdom of Cuzzia.

The Emperor chuckled, "Thank you for the praise, Mr. Chang."

"But unfortunately the Princess to Five is disabled. If it were not flawed I would have betrothed it to my son" Prime Minister Wa Roung said. Wa Roung himself from Shuji state has a fairly large position in Shuji state.

"True, the fifth Princess is prettier and sweeter than her Brother. It seems like Princess Lima is an innocent girl." Duke Xiao Long also added. Duke Xiao Long, the Xiao noble from the country of Dilie, has close ties with the ministry of the great Kingdom of Dilie.

Prime Minister Yhujuan Xin chuckled, "True, it's a pity that the Emperor did not allow Princess Lima to get married. Did Emperor Feng Kim already have another soul mate for the fifth Princess?"

The Emperor laughed awkwardly, "Hahaha ... The Princess to Lima doesn't like being betrothed. She said she didn't want to trouble her husband later. That Shua Xie was indeed innocent and innocent, he most disliked to trouble others."

Shua Xie stared flatly at the 4 nobles who were conversing with the Emperor. Although Shua Xie's distance from the Emperor was a little far away, Shua Xie could still hear what they were talking about. Shua Xie became slightly impressed when the Emperor gave an excuse to protect Shua Xie.

'That's so. Afraid that his plan was broken that was why he lied, Shua Xie said in his heart.

"Pretending to be blind doesn't hurt either. Blind or seeing is still the same," muttered Shua Xie quietly. During the meeting of Shua Xie and the Emperor before the event began, the Emperor said that he would say Princess Shua Xie was blind. The statement the Emperor made was to cover up the truth about Shua Xie's eyes.

At the same time the first Princess looked at Shua Xie so upset that her future Prime Minister-in-law praised Shua Xie more than she did.

"Basic Shua Xie bitch! He not only pranked me but also tried to grab everyone's attention!" muttering Shan Xinian while biting his lower lip.

The first concubine patted her daughter on the shoulder, "Even though they praised Shua Xie, but still Shua Xie did not benefit. In their eyes Shua Xie was an innocent disabled girl, so don't worry. Problems pranking clothes, we will also reply when the event is finished. I also didn't expect that bitch to dare make you wear the clothes I sent her." First Concubine looked at Shua Xie sharply.

Actually before the event began, Wang Xinian had a hard slap from the Emperor when the Emperor visited Wang Xinian's pavilion. The emperor at that time was intending to give Wang Xinian a skewer of his family's inheritance, but after seeing Wang Xinian's clothes being so revealing, it was only after seeing the one that Wang Xinian wore, The emperor was so wrathful that he slapped and told Wang Xinian to want to become a cheap woman. The emperor also punished Wang Xinian's personal servants for not paying attention to their master's clothes.

Wang Xinian felt so embarrassed and angry at the Emperor. After the Emperor left his room, Wang Xinian directly reported to his mother the first concubine without changing her clothes first. As Wang Xinian came to complain how surprised the first Concubine saw the clothes Wang Xinian should have worn Shua Xie used her daughter. The first concubine continued to pacify Wang Xinian and explained that the shirt was indeed a shipment from him, but not for Wang Xinian but for Shua Xie. Wang Xinian was furious that he intended to reply to Shua Xie many times after the event was over.

"You'd better try your best first from the Fourth Princess and the Third Concubine. He was more dangerous than the current Shua Xie, look at them also being praised by the noble guests and competing so gently and looking for attention. I don't know what rotten plan they're going to use. But if the invited guests liked them so much, mother was afraid that the title of First Princess would be usurped by the Fourth Princess." Continue the first concubine in a serious tone.

Wang Xinian let out a heavy sigh then nodded in agreement with his mother's words. In any case, the current Fourth Princess and third concubine are indeed very dangerous can-can seize the position of the Main Princess that Wang Xinian always craved from childhood.

Chi Su poured tea into Shua Xie's cup while stealing a glance seeing Shua Xie how calm and charismatic his master was tonight. Shua Xie was so calm when some of the invited guests of the nobility told Shua Xie the handicapped (blind) would not be able to marry the prince of the kingdom because no prince would want to marry the Princess handicapped.

But even though they kept talking about Shua Xie, they, he always remained calm trying to show his adult attitude unlike in the modern world Shua Xie would definitely directly beat anyone who talked about it without knowing the truth about him.

Shua Xie took the cup that was already filled with tea, "Why Chi Su? Why do you keep looking at me? Is there something wrong with how I look tonight?" shua Xie asked after sipping his tea.

Chi Su immediately wavered after Shua Xie found out that she had been staring at him.

"Ti-no Miss, I dare not judge Miss's ugly appearance," Chi Su replied nervously.

"Huh .. do I look creepy in Chi Su's eyes until you stumble like that?" Shua Xie put his cup back on the table.

"No-no, no Miss. I'm guilty of torturing you for daring to look at you."

Shua Xie chuckled, "Hahaha. How can I punish someone who has always been good to me? You did nothing wrong in my eyes. But explain why you were looking at me? What are you thinking about me? Just answer honestly I won't eat you."

Chi Su became even more excited as it turned out that Shua Xie knew that Chi Su was thinking about him.

"Hamba just thought about why Miss could calm down after hearing that many people said Miss is a disabled Princess. Not only guests, even the Fourth Princess and the First Princess also lamented the useless miss deformed Princess."

"What the lady said. They don't know the truth about Miss. Miss who is so genius doesn't deserve to serve them."

Shua Xie smiled as he took the cake in front of him and ate it. Shua Xie was actually very angry to hear that they thought it was flawed and useless, but Shua Xie still tried to be patient because he did not want to ruin his plan. However, pretending to be blind is also the right choice to protect the truth about his eyes which is considered a curse.

"Well they're not happy to see a jade like me so shining from them. After all, all smart people would also know that the Fourth Princess and the First Princess were like precious jade exchanged for a pole that could at any moment break. I'm sure someday they'll regret having traded their jade for a worthless pole." Shua Xie stared at the Third Concubine and the Fourth Princess instantly remembered how the original body owner she had occupied died so tragically without any mercy from the two cruel women.

'I will return the Fourth Princess and Third Concubine for injuring the owner of this body to death. They will feel how hell the world, until they have no choice of life to die unwillingly.'

While being coolly staring at the fourth Princess, suddenly a servant shouted loudly. Everyone was instantly fixed on the center of the voice let alone Shua Xie who was so close to the servant.

"Please Miss Hanabi pass out!" the servant shouted while propping up his Master's head. Princess Hanabi is the Princess of the noble Prime Minister Yhujuan Xin.

Shua Xie immediately stood up to Princess Hanabi who was not far from him. Shua Xie instantly held his pulse and examined his mouth.

"Quick call the royal physician!" yelled the guests.

The Emperor and the Prime Ministers also headed straight for the scene of the commotion as well as Shua Xie's sister, the first concubine and the third concubine.

Shua Xie frowned, "Miss Hanabi was exposed to poison. His tongue was turning blue, his throat was also beginning to swell. Why is Miss Hanabi getting poisoned? Who would give him poison?" shua Xie muttered slightly surprised.

Prime Minister Yhujuan Xin looked at her daughter in surprise and immediately hugged her daughter, "My daughter Hanabi why? What happened to him!" yhujuan Xin Prime Minister.

"He was exposed to poison," Shua Xie replied.

"Poisons? Why did my daughter get poison?"

Shua Xie turned to look at the food and drink Miss Hanabi had eaten and sniffed the smell of the food.

'There is a poison smell to this food, ' Shua Xie said in his heart.

"Emperor Feng Kim, how can your banquet food be poisoned! Do you intend to kill us all!" prime Minister Yhujuan Xin exclaimed in anger.

"Uncle Yhujuan better check on Miss Hanabi right away than yell angrily. Anger will not do any good." Suggest Shua Xie while examining Miss Hanabi's body again.

Prime Minister Yhujuan Xin was stunned, "Daughter Shua Xie do you know medical science?"

"I know but not by much" Shua Xie replied.

"Please heal my daughter! I'll give you whatever money you want as long as you can cure my daughter."

Shua Xie nodded, "The matter of money can be later, Miss's safety is better."

Princess Wang Xinian looked at Shua Xie in surprise, for never knowing that Shua Xie could know medical science.

"Uncle Yhujuan! Don't trust Shua Xie. He was a foolish blind man, where might he be able to treat," Wang Xinian loudly exclaimed.

First Concubine pulled Shua Xie's shoulder hard, "You know what you're doing Shua Xie? Don't fight around knowing you, your words will only make our government look worse. Quickly call the palace healer and lock Princess Shua Xie in the warehouse let him reflect on his mistake!"

"Shua Xie, don't talk too much!" Shan Qianyu also exclaimed because she did not believe that Shua Xie could be a medical scientist.

Shua Xie brushed off the first Concubine's hand and took out 1 acupuncture needle, "It's better for First Concubine and First Princess to check the kitchen and find out who's poison in Miss Hanabi's food than to take care of me. The safety of the invited guests is more important than scolding me!"

"It's too bad that your mouth Shua Xie talks like that to your own family!" shouted the First Concubine.

"This poison will spread in no time! If not immediately close her acupuncture Miss Hanabi could die right now! Would First Concubine bear if Miss Hanabi died!? We as the host party must take immediate action! If you can't do anything, it's better to be quiet than to speak up for nothing!" reply Shua Xie was very sharp.

"You fucking bitch dare scold my mom!" Wang Xinian was about to slap Shua Xie but was restrained by Prime Minister Yhujuan Xin's hand.

"You listen to Princess Shua Xie! He's so smart and kind to clear the good name of his kingdom but you guys are acting stupid. I warn you if my daughter Hanabi dies then our business fails! Not only that I will also consider the Xuilin Empire a great enemy for not being able to keep the guests' food safe!" the Prime Minister Yhujuan Xin was cold.
