Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife – o

An Yiqing admired Xia Hau with a glance and smiled, "The idea is good, but Haozi, what’s in it for me?"

Xia Hau chuckled softly, his handsome sword-like eyebrows slightly raised, taking a look at everyone around. His thin lips parted slightly, speaking word by word, "Dark Council seems to have never had a human become a vice chairman."

Old Prince Bruch was stunned, Bali and Eddie were stunned, even An Yiqing was briefly taken aback.

Then, she burst into laughter, reaching out and giving Xia Hau a thumbs up.

"Haozi, I think you’re well-suited for a word — cunning." Xia Hau’s demeanor made her see him in a new light; making a human the vice chairman of the Dark Council is indeed quite interesting.

Old Prince Bruch also came to his senses, tapped his fingers with a smile, "Mr. Xia’s idea is indeed a good one. Miss An, what do you think?"

"Excellent, I’m very satisfied." An Yiqing nodded with a smile, "Since that’s the case, then let’s wish for a pleasant cooperation, to soon seize the position of Dark Council Chairman, and successfully become the ruler of the Blood Clan."

Xia Hau smiled, Old Prince smiled, everyone smiled.

Having resolved one issue, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Just then, a rush of hurried footsteps was heard. Old Prince Bruch frowned and looked toward the entrance.

A middle-aged man rushed into the hall, followed closely by the panting Butler Sicily.

"Joyce, why so hurried?" asked the Old Prince.

"Old Prince, something’s wrong!" said the middle-aged man called Joyce, who ran to the Old Prince’s side, whispered something to him despite the guests present.

Old Prince Bruch changed his expression upon hearing the words, immediately stood up, "Sorry, Xiao Qing Beauty, I have some matters to attend to. You sit tight, I’ll be back soon."

Saying that, he asked Eddie to take care of An Yiqing, and hurriedly left the hall with Bali and Joyce.

An Yiqing was not one to meddle, didn’t ask much, picked up a delicate plate and started savoring desserts with joy. Ruan Xue also wasn’t one to meddle, snuggled up to An Yiqing, the two girls occasionally burst into cheerful laughter.

It was Xia Hau who was somewhat worried about Old Prince Bruch, inquiring Eddie with his eyes. Eddie wasn’t quite sure what had happened either, could only shrug helplessly.

In the side chamber, Old Prince Bruch led Bali and Joyce there. The hall was filled with over a dozen stretchers, on which lay over a dozen men. Their eyes were all tightly shut, faces black as ink, devoid of breath.

"What’s going on? Weren’t they going to a banquet? How did it turn into this?" Old Prince asked, furrowing his brows.

"Indeed, they went to a banquet, everything was fine at the banquet, who knew on the way back something went wrong." Joyce’s face was pale; today was the wedding banquet of Old Prince Bach’s sixth daughter from the Lasombra Clan and the Refuno Family of the Neutral Party, everyone went to the banquet. Everything was fine at the banquet, who knew that on the way back something like this would happen!

"Did the doctor come? What did they say?" asked Old Prince.

"They came, checked thoroughly, found nothing, can’t even determine how it happened."

"Incompetent!" Old Prince Bruch hissed, turned in place, "Bali, go invite the Great Elder over."

Bali nodded, said nothing, and turned to leave.

In no time he returned, assisting an elder cloaked entirely in black, who slowly walked in. Seeing this, Old Prince and Joyce all approached with respectful tones.

"Great Elder, sorry to bother you at such a late hour," Old Prince said apologetically.

The elder in the cloak waved his hand, withered hand supporting on a cane, walked toward the deceased people. He circled around the stretchers and squatted to investigate carefully.

Old Prince Bruch and the others held their breath, staring at the Great Elder’s every move, fearing to disturb him.

Seeing the Great Elder slowly stand, Old Prince Bruch hurriedly approached, "Great Elder, how are they?"

"Can’t find the cause, but they’re not dead, they can be saved." A hoarse voice emerged from under the cloak.

"Not dead?!" Old Prince exclaimed, then joy filled his heart. These were the backbone of the Bruch Family, if dead, it would be a great loss to the family.

Bali also rejoiced, a smile appeared on his cold face, quickly asked, "Great Elder, since they’re not dead, how can they be awakened?"
