"What are you standing there for! Hurry up!"

"Father, Father, save me!"

"Ah!"

In the incredulous eyes of the people in the city, the Ninth Princess was engulfed by a swarm of snakes.

Screams echoed one after another, and everyone couldn't believe that the Ninth Princess, who was supposed to be the auspicious star of the Great Chen, had attracted countless poisons at this sacred moment.

The Blessing Ceremony was interrupted by the sudden swarm of snakes, and the guards protecting the Ninth Princess all perished in the mouths of the snakes.

No one dared to approach, not even the Emperor, who was petrified by the terrifying scene before him.

"Father, save Qing'er!"

"Ah! It hurts, Father!"

Heart-wrenching cries rang out, the Ninth Princess called out in pain, but no one dared to come near.

Just as everyone was at a loss, a disfigured young woman slowly approached, and miraculously, the snakes retreated, revealing the Ninth Princess, whose flesh had been gnawed to a bloody mess.

"Father, quickly summon the royal physician, Ninth Sister is still alive."

The voice of the Seventh Princess broke the chaos, and everyone finally came to their senses. When their eyes fell on the Ninth Princess, whose bones were exposed under the altar, they couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

The Ninth Princess was carried back to the Princess's Mansion, and the imperial physicians of the palace worked tirelessly for three days and nights to barely save her life.

The incident at the Blessing Ceremony was witnessed by the people of the entire city, and they saw their auspicious princess buried in a swarm of snakes.

For a while, rumors spread throughout the city that the Ninth Princess was a disaster-bringing witch, and the respect she once enjoyed crumbled in just a few days.

Even the Emperor fell ill and never recovered after that day.

Through my deliberate arrangement, the news of the auspicious star being the Seventh Princess spread like wildfire. The identities of the twin sisters were swapped, turning the once despised person into the Ninth Princess.

"Get out!"

On the bed, the Ninth Princess, wrapped up like a zongzi, used all her strength to smash everything around her, but now, no one paid attention to her cries.

"Princess, you don't know what's being said outside now. Everyone says you're a reincarnation of a disaster-bringing witch. The Emperor is sick, and no matter how you cry out, it's useless!"

A palace maid, with disdain, covered her mouth and approached. In Chen Qingqing's almost murderous gaze, she poured the scalding medicine onto Chen Qingqing's wound.

"You all can leave now."

My brother pulled me in, and the palace maids reluctantly withdrew.

"Song Lang..."

The Ninth Princess saw her brother, tears suddenly streaming down her face, trembling as she reached out to him.

But her brother just looked at her coldly, until she ran out of strength, and her arm fell heavily.

At this moment, Chen Qingqing slowly understood, but she refused to believe it, her hoarse voice unwillingly asking, "Song Lang? Do you also despise me?"

Her brother gave a short laugh, "Despise? How could I despise the princess?"

A glimmer of hope rose in the Ninth Princess's eyes, but the next moment—

"I, on the other hand, would love nothing more than to flay you alive, break your bones, and crush them to dust."

"What?"

Bending down, her brother patted the ruined face of the Ninth Princess without any disgust, "I don't despise you, I just want to torture you, to see you despair but powerless to beg for mercy."

The Ninth Princess couldn't hold back anymore, tears streaming down, she couldn't understand why her brother, who had sacrificed himself to save her, suddenly changed his attitude.

But her brother had no intention of telling her.

I asked him, "Why not let the Ninth Princess understand before she dies?"

My brother smiled, gently asking me, "Little sister, don't you want a living medicine person?"

I also smiled, understanding my brother's meaning.

I believed the Ninth Princess would make a very obedient medicine person.
