DEMON QUEEN
Poisoning

Time passed quickly, the night passed and the morning came. Concubine Mue Zu woke up early in the morning and rushed off towards the Sky Medicine Pavilion, he was going to take the poison that had been ordered from Lord Jiangnan. Concubine Mue Zu planned to put the poison into the warm milk of Queen Junyi Zu and Xiao Ziya this morning, because every morning warm milk will be provided as a dessert drink. Concubine Mue Zu arrived in front of the Sky Medicine Pavilion, some guards allowed the woman inside since their leader was already waiting. As he entered the Sky Medicine Pavilion Jiangnan was sitting on a chair where he was serving the buyers, Jiangnan smiled as he saw that Consort Mue Zu had already reached his place.

"Greetings to Consort Mue Zu, I have finished making the poison you ordered" Jiangnan said as he handed a small glass bottle to Consort Mue Zu. Inside the glass bottle was a clear-colored liquid with the lowest level of poison Jiangnan had ever made.

"It's a payday for you" said Consort Mue Zu giving a bag full of gold coins, he smiled with satisfaction as soon as all the barriers would be removed from the world.

"You don't have to pay this much as Consort Mue Zu" said Jiangnan who returned all the gold coins given by the concubine, he did not need the money because Xiao Ziya's gift last night was more valuable than anything in the Eternal Human World.

"Take it for you, nothing is free in this world Mr. Jiangnan" said Consort Mue Zu who still wanted to give his gold coins to Jiangnan, if the fact about the Deaths of Queen Junyi Zu and Xiao Ziya is revealed someday then Concubine Mue Zu can blame the Sky Medicine Pavilion.

"I'm glad to be able to help you, all I need you will never forget this help of mine" Jiangnan said on the grounds quite logically. Concubine Mue Zu again took the bag of gold coins, he promised Jiangnan would help the Sky Medicine Pavilion if it got into trouble one day.

"Then I return to the palace first" said Consort Mue Zu who immediately turned around and then left the Sky Medicine Pavilion.

After the concubine's departure, Jiangnan immediately opened a drug store next to his pavilion. Jiangnan carried out activities as usual so that no one else would be suspicious of what the Heaven Medicinal Pavilion had done, Jiangnan had already carried out every task given by Xiao Ziya well. It was actually Xiao Ziya who forbade Jiangnan or the members of the Sky Medicinal Pavilion from receiving payment from concubine Mue Zu, since it was likely that the concubine would throw her blame at the Medicine Pavilion that was. Jiangnan felt greatly helped by all the advice given by Xiao Ziya, it was fortunate that he knew the girl otherwise Jiangnan would have done something reckless and made enmity between Xiao Ziya and the Sky Medicine Pavilion.

Concubine Mue Zu had already arrived at the Eastern Star Royal Palace, the woman went towards the kitchen and looked at the several maids who were busy preparing food. After feeling unsafe, the concubine immediately poured the poison she brought into two glasses of warm milk, after doing the action, Consort Mue Zu rushed out of the kitchen.

On the other hand the current Xiao Ziya and Princess Beiling Zu had already woken up from their deep slumber, the two of them were preparing to go towards the main palace dining hall for breakfast with the others. Xiao Ziya was wearing the Qiyu Imperial Academy master uniform that he had not worn for a long time, the girl missed all her family and friends who were both in the Underworld and the Low-Level Universe.

"The clothes you wear are very unique, it's the first time I've seen such clothes" Princess Beiling Zu said with a faint smile, it seemed that the princess also wanted a dress like that of her half-sister.

"This shirt is the uniform of a master from the Qiyu Imperial Academy that I designed myself. I added some special emblems so that people from the Underworld know that I am a master of the academy. If Beiling jiejie wanted a shirt like this I could make a pattern of the picture." Xiao Ziya said casually, she still clearly remembered the pattern of the shirt she was wearing

"Can I really have a shirt like that too?? when are we going to make it." replied Princess Beiling Zu with a twinkle of bright eyes and a wide smile. Her step-sister was very kind to her, and she would treat her step-sister well as well.

"Tomorrow we will go to the market to buy a good cloth, after which Beiling jiejie can take me to the tailor specifically clothes of members of the East Star Royal family" said Xiao Ziya, some kingdoms have their confidants who will make special clothes for members of the royal family.

"Alright we'll leave tomorrow, we better hurry to go to the dining room" said Princess Beiling Zu, the girl pulled Xiao Ziya's hand slowly and started running towards the main palace.

After arriving at the dining hall of the main palace it turned out that all had gathered there, Xiao Ziya and Princess Beiling Zu sat down at the remaining spots. Seen as Consort Mue Zu looked towards Xiao Ziya with a strange look, the concubine smiled at Xiao Ziya for no apparent reason. Xiao Ziya who had understood the plan of the concubine just kept silent while looking at her with a cold gaze. Finally everyone started their breakfast and Xiao Ziya took only a few fruits, the girl was observing where Concubine Mue Zu was pouring her poison.

"Why do you only eat the fruit of Miss Ziya? is the food we provide not good?." asked King Yongling Zu with a look of wonder because on the previous day Xiao Ziya always ate large portions, seeing his stepdaughter eat voraciously made King Yongling Zu feel happy.

"I'm having no appetite this morning" Xiao Ziya replied briefly.

"What about warm milk? you can drink it right." chirped Concubine Mue Zu, Xiao Ziya turned towards the woman with a look of wonder. It was very strange that the concubine was worried about him as she gulped her appetite, could it be that the poison that the woman bought from the Heaven Medicinal Pavilion was put into warm milk?.

"Alright I will drink it later." replied Xiao Ziya with a flat face.

As the other members of the Eastern Star Royal Family were enjoying the food arriving from the outside of the palace came the sound of a considerable explosion, the soldiers ran to see what was going on. King Yongling Zu and the others also felt surprised, they ran outside the dining room to ask some soldiers. While everyone was busy trying to figure out the origin of the sound of the explosion, Xiao Ziya exchanged his and Queen Junyi Zu's warm milk for Prince Xilian Zu and Princess Ming Zu's, after he finished doing his duty Xiao Ziya immediately shot up and stood beside Princess Beiling Zu.

"What's going on out there Beiling jiejie?" asked Xiao Ziya with a curious look as if he didn't know anything about it.

"There's someone who blew something up at the side gate, the soldiers are looking for the perpetrator" Princess Beiling Zu replied anxiously, hopefully no other bad events.

"Let's go back to the dining room, everything has been overcome by the soldiers and some generals" said King Yongling Zu casually, all of them returning to the dining room as the king ordered.

Since they had finished eating, it was time to drink some warm milk and Xiao Ziya drank it to the end. Concubine Mue Zu was very satisfied that her plan was going smoothly, the few minutes that the poison would show her reaction.

"Thank you for the food that the Eastern Star Royal Family served this morning, I'm glad to have been well received in this place" Xiao Ziya said with a faint smile, maybe in a few days he will return to the Moon Kingdom Palace to meet with Yie Munha and reveal the identity of his biological grandmother.

"We feel good that Miss Ziya is at home to stay here" replied Queen Junyi Zu, looking at Xiao Ziya with a happy face.

Concubine Mue Zu was already impatiently waiting for Xiao Ziya and Queen Junyi Zu to die from the poison, he had waited for quite a long time but no reaction had happened to the two of them. Could it be that the leader of the Heaven Medicinal Pavilion had wrongly administered poison to him? or was Xiao Ziya indeed immune to poison?. Consort Mue Zu was getting anxious, the concubine's eyes alternately looking at everyone in the dining room because she was worried about putting the warm milk containing the poison.

As everyone was chatting casually in the dining room arrived Prince Xilian Zu and Princess Ming Zu had convulsed convulsions, their mouths both spewing out a considerable amount of foam. Everything became very panicked, King Yongling Zu summoned some soldiers and had them bring Prince Xilian Zu and Princess Ming Zu to the infirmary.

The atmosphere in the dining room became gloomy, some people were thinking who put the poison into the warm milk of Prince Xilian Zu and Princess Ming Zu, while Consort Mue Zu did not think that he even put poisoned milk on his two children.

"How can this be." Inner Concubine Mue Zu who could not accept the incident just now, the concubine was very sure that she put the poisoned milk in it in the right place.

"Who of you is doing this!" said King Yongling Zu with a serious look, the perpetrators of this incident must be insiders because it is not easy for outsiders to penetrate the security of the East Star Royal Palace.

Everyone fell silent no one answered King Yongling Zu's words because they did not know anything. Concubine Mue Zu immediately pointed towards Xiao Ziya as if the girl had poisoned her two children, Xiao Ziya stared coldly at the mad woman.

"It must be you who have poisoned my two children." shouted Concubine Mue Zu hysterically, the woman pushed Xiao Ziya but strangely Ziya's body did not move in the slightest.

"Why should I do such a lowly thing to hurt your two children, I already said I could slash their heads at any time if I wanted to." Xiao Ziya replied casually accompanied by his sneaky grin.

"After all night Ziya's sister slept with me in the room and we also came together earlier." said Princess Beiling Zu, the princess was very sure Xiao Ziya would not do such a despicable accusation

Consorts Mue Zu.

"Only this girl has a problem with my two children, who else could have committed a crime other than this bastard child." concubine Mue Zu said filled with emotion as she pointed towards Xiao Ziya.

"You need proof if you want to accuse me." said Xiao Ziya, the girl will tell everyone how evil Consort Mue Zu was to her biological mother.

The concubine was silent for a while, the woman was thinking of the right reason to accuse Xiao Ziya and make the girl the prime suspect even though she did not have any evidence. Concubine Mue Zu would not let anyone know the failure of her own plan that left her two children almost dead.

"Wouldn't a great girl like you do anything? it could be that you have the power to make your body transparent" said Consort Mue Zu, he remembered that Xiao Ziya was a high-level cultivator. It could be deduced that it was most likely that Xiao Ziya possessed such a strange power of making himself invisible.

Xiao Ziya stood up from his seat, the girl walked around the dining table a few times. Ziya picked up the used glass belonging to Princess Ming Zu which still contained poisonous milk residue inside, Xiao Ziya glanced at Concubine Mue Zu then smiled obliquely. The sound of the dining room table that Ziya was shouldering quite loudly, the actions of the girl made everyone startled and instantly stared towards Xiao Ziya.

"I don't have the same poison as the one in this warm milk" Xiao Ziya said with widened eyes, his expression showing that he did not want to be accused of being a suspect.

"What do you mean by not having the same kind of poison?." asked King Yongling Zu with a puzzled look, don't tell him his stepson harbors some poison as well?.

"This poison only makes the person who drinks it paralyzed, while the poison I have will make someone lose their mind, kill themselves unknowingly, or die in about five seconds. The poison I possess comes from outside the realm of the Eternal Human World whereas this poison is made from plants that only grow around this region." said Xiao Ziya who explained why he was not the mastermind behind all this. Instead of making others calm, the explanation from Ziya made the Eastern Star Royal Family members even more anxious.

"Why did you bring poison when it came to this layer of the world?" asked King Yongling Zu with an expression that was hard to decipher.

"This is just my hobby, maybe one day I will have to fight with a poison master who makes me have to have some deadly poison" Xiao Ziya replied honestly, indeed that was the reason for storing some kind of deadly poison within the ring of an absolute ruler.

"It's clear that it was you who poisoned my two children!!" accused Consort Mue Zu again, he was sure that everyone would trust him more than Xiao Ziya.

"Ah how about this, Consort Mue Zu wanted to poison me and Queen Junyi Zu but he misplaced the poison?. All this time everyone also knew that Consort Mue Zu hated my presence in the Eastern Star Royal Palace and wanted the position of Queen in this kingdom" Xiao Ziya said, the girl smiled as her eyes met the eyes of Consort Mue Zu.

"Don't reverse such a fact as to why I poisoned Queen Junyi Zu" Consort Mue Zu said with a sigh of relief, how could his plan be read so perfectly by Xiao Ziya.

"Is that really Consort Mue Zu?." asked Queen Junyi Zu with a sad look, she did not know if the woman she already considered her own sister wanted to harm her.

"Don't listen to the words of that wild girl Her Majesty Queen Junyi Zu, I can't possibly have any malicious intentions on you" Consort Mue Zu said with a very convincing expression. Xiao Ziya did not have much time to play this cheap drama, he had to immediately reveal the cunning of the concubine all along.
