After having lunch at the Palace in Viya City, Dongfang Hao was discussing state affairs with Yelv Yan and Murong Shang.
Due to Prince Haotian's body still being afflicted by an itch, and without Luo Bingbing's unique antidote, he had to wait for three days until the effects of the Itchy Powder wore off before he could recover.
Thus, he remained hidden in the Post House of Silver City and did not join Dongfang Hao and the others on their excursion to Thousand Lakes in Viya City, nor did he participate in their discussions about state matters.
Luo Bingbing spent all day with Dongfang Hao and was slightly annoyed, so she was quite pleased to have some rare alone time.
She left her surrounding maidens in her courtyard, forbidding them from following her, and went alone to stroll in the garden.
Upon receiving this news, Eastern Spirit immediately brought her personal maidens to the garden, along with some special items.
Since this was the Palace and it was noon, there were very few people in the garden—specifically, only Luo Bingbing was present.
When Eastern Spirit and her two personal maidens arrived at the garden, they saw that only the Little One was there. They felt as if even heaven was helping them.
They quietly hid behind a rockery in the garden, and Eastern Spirit instructed her two maidens, "You two go around to that little girl's front and place these poisonous snakes by the bushes she passes."
"Yes, Princess. We will do it right away," the two maidens replied in unison.
Although they spoke softly, Luo Bingbing heard them clearly. In fact, she had already sensed their presence when they entered the garden.
So when she heard them talking about releasing snakes to bite her, she couldn't help but smirk slightly, revealing a mischievous smile that grew brighter.
She cooperatively walked over to where they planned to place the snakes. However, unexpectedly for them, she caught one of the poisonous snakes and began to play with it.
Eastern Spirit and her companions watched from a distance in horror.
After observing for a while, they prepared to flee the garden.
However, just as they turned to leave a few steps, Luo Bingbing suddenly appeared before them. Seeing the Little One's sudden appearance intensified their fear even more.
"You... what do you want to do?" the Eastern Spirit said, looking at the Little One with great fear.
Seeing their terrified expressions, Luo Bingbing's smile grew even brighter. She slowly said, "Are you referring to me?"
"Who else could it be? You little wretch."
"Oh, is that so? You have quite the nerve! However, having too much courage isn't necessarily a good thing!"
"What do you mean? Let me tell you, this princess has always been very brave. Who are you to judge?" the Eastern Spirit forced herself to suppress her unease.
"Is that so? But being too bold can easily bring trouble upon oneself. Look, your trouble has arrived."
Before the Eastern Spirit could react, Dongfang Hao's voice sounded from behind. "What's going on?"
It turned out that after Dongfang Hao and Yelv Yan had chatted casually for a while, they realized there was no real outcome; all three were just going through the motions without any sincerity.
So, they decided to take a stroll in the garden.
However, as soon as they arrived in the garden, they saw Luo Bingbing and the Eastern Spirit there. Thus, they walked over to them.
After hearing his words, Luo Bingbing calmly replied, "It's nothing much; just someone secretly sent me some toys."
Her tone was light and casual, but it shocked everyone who heard it.
At that moment, they all understood one fact: Princess Dongfang Ling had secretly sent a poisonous snake to harm Luo Bingbing, and the snake that the Little One was playing with was the evidence.
Dongfang Hao shot a cold glance at the Eastern Spirit and quickly walked over to Luo Bingbing, saying, "Child, throw that snake away!"
"Throw it away? That would be such a waste! If I throw away the snake, I won't have anything interesting to watch."
As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Bingbing tossed the poisonous snake towards a palace maid standing next to the Eastern Spirit. Instantly, the maid was bitten by the snake.
The palace maid instantly collapsed to the ground, and within a few blinks, her skin turned completely black, while she continuously spat white foam from her mouth.
Seeing this situation, everyone understood just how poisonous the snake was.
"Ah..." Eastern Spirit couldn't help but scream.
The other palace maid beside her trembled uncontrollably. Attempting to harm the reigning Empress was a grave crime, especially since the Empress was the most favored.
At that moment, she kept praying in her heart, hoping that Dongfang Hao and Luo Bingbing would spare her life. In reality, she hurriedly knelt down, begging them for mercy.
"Spare your life? That's easy to say, but you must pass my test first," Luo Bingbing said with a wicked smile.
Upon hearing her words, everyone couldn't help but cast puzzled glances at her. After all, it was rare for someone who wanted to kill her to also offer forgiveness.
However, Dongfang Hao did not share this view; instead, he felt a chill run down his spine and was certain that the palace maid was about to face dire consequences.
His instincts were not wrong. As soon as Luo Bingbing saw the palace maid's delighted expression, she slowly walked up to her.
She pulled out two small bottles from her bosom, opened them, and sprinkled some powder from each bottle onto the palace maid.
Immediately, the palace maid burst into laughter. At the same time, her azure palace maid outfit turned orange, while her face and hands turned green.
The onlookers were astonished by this transformation.
However, before they could calm their hearts, the still-laughing palace maid changed colors again.
Her clothes turned red while her face and hands became purple. This left everyone even more bewildered, and the palace maid fainted from shock.
Though she had passed out, her clothes and her face and hands continued to change colors.
Amidst everyone's astonishment, the Little One slowly said, "This is unbearable; it seems you won't be able to save your life!"
After hearing this, Dongfang Hao couldn't help but think to herself, "This little one is so wicked!"
Indeed, she did it on purpose!
Eastern Spirit and another maidservant felt a deep fear towards the Little One after witnessing these changes.
However, at this moment, they only realized their fear, and it seemed too late.
Luo Bingbing ordered the guard beside Dongfang Hao to fetch a bucket of water and splashed it onto the unconscious maidservant, who immediately woke up.
Once the maidservant regained consciousness, she began to laugh maniacally.
She desperately said to Eastern Spirit, "Mistress, please kill me! I can't take it anymore."
Before Eastern Spirit could respond, she charged towards a large rock nearby. However, before she could collide with it, Luo Bingbing used her internal energy to stop her.
"Want to die? It's not that easy. If you dare to provoke me, you must bear my punishment. Don't worry, as long as you can pass my test, I can spare your life," Luo Bingbing said with a wicked smile.
Although she was smiling, everyone couldn't help but think to themselves: "A demon! A demon."
Eastern Spirit felt a great fear towards the Little One in her heart, but she hated the Little One even more. However, because Dongfang Hao was present, she didn't dare to speak.
At this moment, Dongfang Hao spoke up.
"Someone, take these two maidservants away and throw them into the dungeon until the Empress decides their fate." After saying this, he turned to Eastern Spirit and asked, "Eastern Spirit, do you know your crime?"
"Emperor Brother, Ling'er knows her mistake. You can make Ling'er do anything; just please don't hate Ling'er, okay?"
Upon hearing her words, Luo Bingbing revealed a cold smile while Dongfang Hao remained expressionless.
He coldly instructed the guards behind him, "Take the Mistress back to the palace and place her under house arrest. Without my permission, she is not allowed to step out of Flag Hall."
After speaking, he said to Eastern Spirit, "Ling'er, you will stay in the Flag Hall and reflect on your actions. You can only come out when your Sister-in-law forgives you."
"Emperor Brother, you can't treat me like this. Ling'er is the only princess of the Silver Moon Kingdom! Mother won't agree to this either."
"Enough noise."
"Did you not hear the Empress say it's noisy? Take the princess away." After hearing Luo Bingbing's words, Dongfang Hao quickly instructed a nearby guard.
"I won't go, I won't go..." Amidst the shouting, Eastern Spirit was taken away.
Seeing that Eastern Spirit had been taken away, Yelv Yan looked directly at Luo Bingbing and asked, "Empress, what was that substance you sprinkled on that palace maid?"
Looking at the gazes of those around her, Luo Bingbing calmly replied, "It's nothing, just Laughing Powder and Color Changing Powder."
"Could I borrow those two little bottles to take a look?"
"What? Do you want to experience the effects of these powders?"
"No, no. I just want to see." Yelv Yan quickly explained.
"This is something I developed for fun; there's nothing special about it," Luo Bingbing lightly refused.
Upon hearing this, everyone was genuinely surprised and thought to themselves, "Such powerful powders were actually developed by this Little One for her own amusement."
This made everyone even more astonished.
"You little rascal, you're quite mischievous!" Although Dongfang Hao said this, he felt extremely pleased inside.
He slowly walked over to the Little One, bent slightly, and embraced her.
Murong Shang felt a slight displeasure seeing the closeness between the Little One and Dongfang Hao. However, he didn't even realize the reason for his mild discomfort.
At this moment, he felt that in this world, only the Little One could match him and was qualified to stand by his side.
"I'm tired and want to go back to rest. You all continue to enjoy yourselves."
As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Bingbing signaled Dongfang Hao to put her down. Naturally, Dongfang Hao, who had just gotten used to holding her, was somewhat reluctant.
"Come on, just walk with us a little longer! You see, guests are important, and besides, they came specifically to congratulate us!"
"As soon as we arrive, the Empress is leaving. Is it possible that the Empress has some dissatisfaction with us?" Murong Shang said coldly.
"Murong Prince, your words seem a bit forced. When have I ever had any issues with you? I simply came out for a while and am a bit tired; how could I possibly be dissatisfied with you?"
"Then it seems it's truly my fault..."
Before he could finish his sentence, a guard rushed toward Dongfang Hao from the entrance of the garden, shouting as he ran, "Urgent report! Urgent report! Your Majesty, something big has happened!"
"What is it? What kind of behavior is this?" Dongfang Hao scolded loudly before the guard even reached him.
"Yes, I apologize for my rudeness."
"What exactly happened?" Luo Bingbing asked calmly.
"In response to the Empress's inquiry, it concerns Hao Tian's Third Prince. He returned to the Post House yesterday afternoon and has been suffering from severe itching since then; he still hasn't recovered and is currently banging his head against the wall!"
"Did I not already send an Imperial Physician to treat him?"
"The Imperial Physicians from the Royal Medical Institute cannot find a solution; they are at a loss regarding this matter."
"Useless fools! Hurry up and find a way to resolve this. If anything happens to that Third Prince in Silver Moon Kingdom, just imagine the consequences!"
"Yes, I will go right away..."
His words were not yet finished when Luo Bingbing interrupted, "Wait a moment, take this pill."
As she spoke, Luo Bingbing took out a small bottle from her pocket and poured out a black pill from inside.
After handing the pill to the guard, she continued, "Have him take this pill with Horse Urine and Pig Urine; otherwise, the medicine won't be effective."
The guard was taken aback by her words, and it wasn't until he heard Dongfang Hao's cold voice that he snapped back to reality.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up."
"Yes, yes, I will go right away." With that, he took his leave from them.
Yelviyan looked at the Little One with some confusion and said, "Empress, your method is really something special! Making a prince drink Horse Urine and Pig Urine, associating with beasts."
"That's called an effective folk remedy. Do you understand?"
