Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife – o

An Yiqing listened with some confusion, "If that’s the case, why did Bach send people to the antique shop to capture Louise?"

Old Prince Bruch sneered, with disdain flashing in his eyes, "The Dark World experiences a high-level change once every hundred years, Xiao Qing Beauty, have you ever heard of the Dark Council? The Dark Council is the core organization of the Blood Clan, Werewolves, and other Dark Forces. It’s just like the World Government of humans, with high decision-making power. The Dark Council elections are imminent, requiring families to vote to elect a new Dark Council Chairman and two Vice Chairmen. Of course, that old guy Bach won’t miss such a good opportunity; he wants to form an alliance with the Neutral Party to gain their support. I’ve heard he’s already sent out his two daughters."

An Yiqing raised her eyebrows in surprise. She had heard of the Dark Council, but she didn’t know the high-level election was about to happen. The World Government of the Dark World? Sounds quite interesting.

Old Prince Bruch observed the young girl’s expression, his eyebrows moving imperceptibly, "Xiao Qing Beauty, what do you think of the Dark Council?"

An Yiqing gathered her thoughts, smiled at Old Prince Bruch, and then discreetly scanned her surroundings.

Little Fox!~

Old Prince Bruch muttered in his heart, "There’s no outsider here, Xiao Qing Beauty, so let me speak straight. Mr. Xia is the heir chosen by Cain, the best candidate for the Dark Council Chairman. I hope you can help Mr. Xia become the Dark Council Chairman; this way, it benefits all of us."

Xia Hau furrowed his brow, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, didn’t I ask you not to mention this matter?" He didn’t like mixing self-interest with his friendship with Xiao Qing; he really disliked it.

"Haozi, let me do it." An Yiqing waved her hand, signaling that Xia Hau shouldn’t worry. She looked at the Old Prince and said calmly, "I certainly understand Your Royal Highness the Prince’s intention and also know that Haozi becoming the Dark Council Chairman is good for all of us. But, Old Prince, I hope you will understand two points. First, speaking in business terms, although Haozi and I are friends, my assistance to the Blood Emperor or even the Secret Party to obtain the position of Dark Council Chairman will definitely not be because Haozi and I are friends. So, please, Old Prince, do not casually exploit the relationship between Xia Hau and me; it’s something you can’t afford to touch. Second, personally, I believe whether to become the Chairman depends on Xia Hau’s own will. Please, Old Prince Bruch, recognize your position. Xia Hau is the heir to the Purple-Gold Blood Emperor, the future king of the Blood Clan. You, Bruch Family, protecting him is something both Xia Hau and I are grateful for. However, Xia Hau will definitely not be used as a tool by your Secret Party against the Magic Party. He can only be your king!"

An Yiqing emanated an icy aura, even someone as skilled as the Old Prince felt a little breathless. He looked at the calmly smiling girl in front of him with a shock that was unimaginable. Indeed, the relationship between the Bruch Family and Xia Hau has been too good lately, and coupled with Xia Hau’s unassuming nature, many things have been decided without considering Xia Hau’s own wishes. Initially, this seemed like nothing, but An Yiqing’s words were a wake-up call to the Old Prince Bruch. Yes, Xia Hau is their king. He can make suggestions, but shouldn’t dictate the king’s choices.

Xia Hau looked at An Yiqing’s smile, which didn’t reach her eyes, and felt a warmth in his heart. Ultimately, she has been a good friend for years, always looking out for him, never letting him down.

Since that’s the case, shouldn’t he also strive not to let her down?

With his fingers gently tapping the nearby table, Xia Hau drew everyone’s attention.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, I understand your thoughtful concern, but this time I had advised you not to discuss this with Xiao Qing, and your unilateral decision displeases me." Xia Hau’s voice was cold and deep, carrying the unique aura of the Purple-Gold Blood Emperor.

The Old Prince’s heart shivered, and his back was drenched in cold sweat. He bowed his head, his tone respectful, "Mr. Xia, it was my oversight. I apologize for my unilateral decision just now."

"We’re all family; it’s good that the Old Prince knows what’s wrong. I always remember your contributions and will never forget." With a stick-and-carrot approach, Xia Hau had already started mastering the art of leadership, "Since you’ve already brought up this matter, Xiao Qing, as the king of the Blood Clan, I invite you to cooperate with me to secure the position of Dark Council Chairman. How do you feel about that?"
