Demoting my wife to a concubine? After being reborn, I turned around and married into the imperial f

"Ninth Princess Consort, I have sincerely invited you several times, but you have refused to see me. I have no choice but to resort to this tactic."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xunzhen frowned.

"What business does the Third Prince have with me, his princess? If you don't explain yourself clearly today, the Prince cannot bear the blame for abducting his princess."

Nangong You gave a mocking smile, his gaze falling on Chu Xunzhen, and said, "This prince admires the princess. I hope the princess can give me a chance."

Chu Xunzhen frowned and said, "Third Prince, I am your sister-in-law. As a prince, you should be careful with your words and actions. If Your Highness allows me to leave now, I can pretend this never happened, out of consideration for our previous relationship."

Nangong You revealed a meaningful smile and shook his head, saying, "I'm afraid I'll disappoint you, sister-in-law. I can't let you leave."

He wore a black robe embroidered with gold thread, and a sinister smile played on his lips.

Chu Xunzhen frowned, looked at him warily, and took a few steps back.

Nangong You, however, didn't care at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "I invited my sister-in-law here today because I wanted to play a game with her."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xunzhen became even more wary.

"What game?" Chu Xunzhen asked coldly.

Nangong You chuckled and clapped his hands.

A square-faced old man wearing a black robe walked out from behind him.

The old man had a black mole the size of a soybean on his left eyebrow.

He looked at Chu Xunzhen and gave a sinister smile.

Chu Xunzhen recognized the face.

She asked incredulously, "The Ninth Ancestor, Luo Xing?"

"Oh? You know me, little girl?"

The old man was somewhat surprised.

How many years has it been? How many years has it been since he last heard that title?

"Yes. This junior is also a member of the Gu Sect. Does the Ancestor need anything? Why do you want to help Nangong You?"

The old man was stunned, then shook his head and said, "No. I just happened to run into the Third Prince, and he said his enemies can control Gu worms. I wanted to try it out."

Chu Xunzhen's lips twitched.

She never expected the reason to be so simple and unpretentious.

Nangong You's gaze fell on the old man, and he said respectfully, "Mr. Luo, let's begin. If you win, I will definitely fulfill my promise to you."

"Alright." Luo Xing's gaze fell on Chu Xunzhen, and he said, "Junior, although we are from the same lineage, the game has begun. If you win, you can leave here safely. If you lose, you will stay and serve the Third Prince well."

Chu Xunzhen's expression was grim.

"Ancestor, whatever you need, if the Third Prince can grant it, so can I. Why must you obey his orders?"

Luo Xing laughed and shook his head: "This old man still has some credibility, otherwise how could I make a living in this world? Let the game begin."

A five-meter-long, spotted snake, as thick as an adult man's arm, suddenly crawled out from behind Chu Xunzhen and bit down at Chu Xunzhen's neck.

Chu Xunzhen flipped over and released the protective Gu worms.

Her right thumb trembled slightly, and her sharp nail pierced the flesh of her palm.

The next instant, a miniature white creature, pure white and spotless, appeared in my palm.

"Kill it!"

Chu Xunzhen gave the command to Mini White, and Mini White immediately bit at the long snake.

The snake was bitten, hissed in pain, and its eyes turned red.

Chu Xunzhen took out the Gu poison that the Great Saintess of the Misty Mountains had previously refined for her from her bosom, and flung it at the long snake. She then saw the long snake spin around on its own as if it were having a seizure.

The old man's eyes widened.

"Interesting, you little rascal. But the Third Prince is giving way too much."

As he spoke, the old man actually raised his hand, and three Gu worms, arranged in a triangular shape, smashed towards Chu Xunzhen's face.

Chu Xunzhen dodged the three Gu worms and whistled at the old man.

The next instant, the entire palace seemed to tremble.

Rats, centipedes, and venomous snakes came from all directions and surrounded the old man.

Nangong You was thrilled, but unfortunately, after asking the old man, he learned that he didn't have the talent to learn Gu techniques.

"You little brat, you're definitely not an unknown figure in the Gu Sect. Who are you?"

Chu Xunzhen did not answer the old man's question, because as he spoke, the old man was manipulating the scorpion to stab at her leg.

Chu Xunzhen controlled the mother Gu, which opened its mouth wide and swallowed the poisonous scorpion.

Chu Xunzhen raised her right hand, but the bracelet on her fair wrist did not react at all.

Nangong You smiled as he watched her actions: "You're not looking for these silver needles, are you? I know you have a mechanical bracelet. I've already removed all your poisoned needles."

Chu Xunzhen's expression was grim.

However, in the next instant, she raised her right hand, and a dagger fell from her sleeve.

She swooped down toward Nangong You.

As long as he captures Nangong You, Luo Xing will stop.

Having discerned Chu Xunzhen's intentions, Nangong You was not only not intimidated, but rather filled with interest.

He looked at Chu Xunzhen as if she were a turtle in a jar, and laughed, "Resist? Let me see how far my sister-in-law can go!"

Chu Xunzhen had already rushed to Nangong You's side, and the dagger was about to pierce his chest.

However, in the next instant, a long sword emerged from the curtain beside him and blocked Chu Xunzhen's dagger.

Chu Xunzhen suddenly looked over and saw Gu Changfeng.

"You think you can stop me?"

Chu Xunzhen scattered a pile of powder with her right hand, and Gu Changfeng suddenly turned his head.

In the next instant, her dagger was already at the edge of Nangong You's neck.

Chu Xunzhen's cold voice rang out: "Nangong You, tell Luo Xing to stop."

Nangong You sniffed the fragrance on Chu Xunzhen's body, completely intoxicated: "Ninth Sister-in-law knows Gu magic, but she doesn't smell like stink bugs. Instead, she has a faint fragrance."

Chu Xunzhen's expression was grim.

That damned lecher! He's nothing like a prince!

Seeing the Third Prince being taken hostage, Luo Xing stopped.

Gu Changfeng also stopped.

He looked at Chu Xunzhen with a complicated expression and said, "Put down the dagger, Chu Xunzhen. This is the Third Prince. He will be the future restorer of the dynasty. As long as you are willing to submit, the Prince will certainly not make things difficult for you."

"The restorer of the dynasty?" A ruthless glint appeared in Chu Xunzhen's eyes.

In his previous life, Nangong You was emperor, and the people of Da Ning suffered greatly. He simply lacked the decisiveness and vision to rule Da Ning.

Without hesitation, Chu Xunzhen took the dagger and stabbed it into Nangong You's body.

"Your Highness!"

Gu Changfeng was startled and exclaimed in surprise.

Luo Xing was also frightened.

However, Chu Xunzhen sensed that something was wrong.

Nangong You was actually wearing protective soft armor. The dagger in her hand didn't even pierce his body.

Chu Xunzhen's gaze turned fierce as she once again lunged at Nangong You's neck.

However, the next moment, her body went limp and she fell into Nangong You's arms.

Chu Xun was truly shocked.

When exactly did Nangong You poison her?

Previously, Xiaobai was inside her body. Whenever she was poisoned, Xiaobai would consume the poison.

This time, Xiaobai left her body, and she actually fell into Nangong You's trap.

"Ninth Princess Consort, now that I know you are a master of poison, how could I not be on guard? The game is over. You may all leave."

Nangong You smiled and waved to Luo Xing and the other man, signaling them to leave.

Luo Xing immediately ran away.

On the contrary, Gu Changfeng stood still, motionless.

"I beg Your Highness to bestow Chu Xunzhen upon me," Gu Changfeng suddenly knelt on the ground and pleaded with Nangong You.

Chu Xunzhen's gaze was cold and sharp. Even though her body was extremely weak, she could bring Xiaobai back with a flick of her finger.

Suddenly, Chu Xunzhen realized that her relationship with Xiaobai had been severed.

That damned Luo Xing actually helped Nangong You capture her natal Gu.

Nangong You looked at Gu Changfeng with a cold gaze and a forced smile, saying, "Changfeng, you know I'm very satisfied with you. If you like, this woman will be yours after I've finished enjoying myself."

Upon hearing this, Gu Changfeng wanted to say something, but when his gaze met that of the Third Prince, he could only lower his head.

Gu Changfeng left the room dejectedly.

Chu Xunzhen's voice was slightly cold: "Since the Third Prince intends to humiliate me like this, why did you try to amuse me before by playing that stupid game?"

Nangong You smiled and touched Chu Xunzhen's delicate nose: "Games are for fun. Now that I've found fun, I naturally want to enjoy you. How about we discuss this? As long as you are willing to accompany me and please me, I will definitely keep it a secret and not reveal it to anyone else. In the end, you will still be the high and mighty Ninth Princess, and I will still be your Third Brother."

Chu Xunzhen's eyes were icy cold as he sneered, "Third Prince, my lord will come to save me."

Nangong You scoffed, "I'll take you now. After it's all over, he can come looking for me. I'll see what he has left to compete with me for."

As Nangong You spoke, he threw Chu Xunzhen onto the bed and began to undress.

His gaze was cold as he looked at Chu Xunzhen, a fervent glint in his eyes.

This is the Chu Xunzhen he wanted.

Now that she has become the Ninth Prince's Consort, Chu Xunzhen exudes the charm of a mature woman.

Gu Changfeng stood outside the courtyard, listening to the sounds inside, his right fist clenched tightly.

In his previous life, the Third Prince also took a liking to Chu Xunzhen, but he was willing to befriend him, so he did not harm Chu Xunzhen.

In this life, he actually treats the woman he loves in this way.

on the bed.

Chu Xunzhen tried to raise her hand, but she felt weak all over.

Nangong You, wearing only his undergarments, walked over, enjoying Chu Xunzhen's struggle. He chuckled, picked up the wine pot on the table, and poured it down Chu Xunzhen's throat.

A potent medicinal power exploded within her body.

how many years?

Ever since she had Xiaobai, all the poison she ingested was completely devoured by Xiaobai inside her body.

But today, her mother Gu was captured by Luo Xing.

She experienced the effects of poisoning once again.

A blush suddenly appeared on Chu Xunzhen's cheeks.

Nangong You moved closer, his right hand stroking Chu Xunzhen's face, and exclaimed, "Your skin is as white as jade, soft and supple. Ninth Princess Consort, you are mine now."

Chu Xunzhen's eyes hardened, and with all her might, she raised her head and bit down hard.

The next instant, Nangong You clutched his finger and let out a pig-like scream.

He raised his right hand and slapped Chu Xunzhen hard across the face.

"You wretch! How dare you bite me! I'll take you right now."

Nangong You pounced on him.

However, in that instant, the door was kicked open.

Nangong Yue strode in and threw a punch at Nangong You.
