, her heart pounding with apprehension.She'd best be careful, this Su Ziyi is far too cunning. He appears genial and pleasant, but one could easily overlook the blade concealed beneath his warm facade..."Ai, Your Highness, you're hopeless! You'll never find a wife now! Alright, stop glaring at me, I'm going back to my Feiyun Palace." With a sigh of regret, Xuen Yuan Rong Fei, though young, left with an air of maturity.
"This girl, she's truly too lawless! Coming back and making me angry right away!" Staring at her retreating figure until it disappeared completely, Xuen Yuan Luo Chen was still quite angry. Xiao Fuzi quickly brought a cup of tea to offer him, hoping to cool his temper, "Your Majesty, calm down. The Ninth Princess meant well."
He took two sips, but it felt like a lump in his throat. Xuan Yuan Luo Chen angrily threw the teacup to the ground, and the light green tea splattered on the floor in a beautiful pattern. He said angrily, "Kindness Does she look down on her own brother this way Where do I not measure up to Su Qing Ying!"
"... Xiaofuzi was silent."
Your Majesty, are you really focusing on this Why do you care so much about his answer There's no way he can satisfy you!
The last glimmer of daylight sank into the horizon, painting the sky in shades of deep blue. Tonight's moon was particularly full and bright, and even more stars seemed to twinkle than usual.
Inside Liuyun Palace, Su Qingying had counted hundreds of thousands of sheep and finally drifted off to sleep. Her sleeping posture was strange and awkward, with drool dripping from the corner of her mouth.
In the room, a sneaky figure crept towards her in the dark, crouching and lowering their head to get closer to her.
"Slap!" Before he could react, a slap landed hard on his face. The sound was crisp and loud, revealing just how much force Su Qingying had put behind it.
"Oh dear! Fifth Princess, please show mercy! This old servant is a Ghost Doctor!" The Ghost Doctor clutched his disfigured cheek, cowering on the ground in pain. Tears flew out several meters away from him!
Su Qingying groggily sat up from her bed, watching the ghost doctor rolling on the ground incessantly. A giant drop of cold sweat slid down her temple.
You can't blame her, who asked him to sneak up on her like that It's just an instinctive reaction to the surrounding environment, okay She really didn't mean to hit that hard.
Su Qingying yawned and asked, "Ghost doctor, what brings you to me in the middle of the night"
The quack doctor gritted his teeth, speaking in a frantic rush: “Fifth Princess, it's bad! The poison from your master has spread!”
"Spreading What's going on" Su Qingying's heart suddenly jumped into her throat, sleepiness vanished instantly. She nervously clutched the ghost doctor's collar, worry clouding her eyes like never before.
"Fifth Princess, don't ask just yet. The old servant will explain when we have time. Now, quickly follow the old servant! Master is fading fast!" The Ghost Doctor struggled free from her grasp and gasped for breath. This one night had truly worn him out.
Until things were serious, Su Qingying didn't say anything more. She threw on a coat and jumped out the window with the Ghost Doctor.
The ghost doctor, without pausing, led her out of the palace. Su Qingying used her light kung fu to keep up with him closely behind, and couldn't help but feel suspicious in her heart: "This is the route out of the palace. Could it be that Jun Liye isn't in Jinyang Palace"
The quack knew what she was thinking and spoke, “There are many eyes and ears in the palace. It's inconvenient for the mistress to stay in Jinyang Palace. If others knew that the mistress had been poisoned, the consequences would be unimaginable.”
The reason why Beiling has always been at the top of the four nations is not only because they are rich and powerful, with a strong army. The most important reason is that there is Jun Liye, the regent king, in charge.
His strategies, which allowed him to achieve victory without engaging in battle and control the situation from afar, had brought Bei Ling close to invincibility. All the leaders of the Three Kingdoms held him in high regard and feared his power.
People in the Three Kingdoms act politely and respectfully towards him on the surface, not daring to show any dissent. In reality, as soon as Jun Li reveals even a slight weakness, they will mercilessly put him to death!
Su Qingying pursed her lips, and in the blink of an eye, she figured out what was going on. She remained silent.
They rode in silence for a long while. Finally, they stopped at the foot of a mountain outside the city. Before them lay a formation made of bamboo, arranged according to the Five Elements and Bagua. An ordinary person wouldn't be able to see it.
From the outside, the formation looked no different from an ordinary bamboo forest. However, once Su Qingying entered, she discovered a hidden paradise: towering peaks and lush greenery reaching into the sky, pavilions with flying eaves painted in vermilion, and grounds extending down to nothingness. Clouds of incense and mist swirled around, creating a beauty unlike anything earthly.
But Su Qing, even though the scenery was breathtaking, had no interest in admiring it. She followed the Ghost Doctor closely until they reached Jun Li's residence. A few beads of sweat glistened on her delicate forehead, crystal clear and translucent.
Her blue silk hair was slightly tousled by the night wind. She simply tucked it behind her ear, adding a touch of charming disorder to her appearance.
Across the water corridor, the Ghost Doctor pointed to the carved wooden door and turned to her, saying: "Fifth Princess, the master is just ahead. Why don't you go in yourself I'll be waiting outside. If you need anything, just tell me."
"Hmm." Gu didn't pay attention to these details. Su Qingying stepped forward, pushed open the door, and quickly moved to Jun Liye's side. The room was filled with a faint smell of blood, even mixed with the rich scent of water hyacinth, it couldn't mask the bloody smell.
"Jun Li Ye, Jun Li Ye, hey, wake up!" Su Qing Ying roughly fanned his devilishly handsome face, but the other party didn't budge.
Su Qingying's finger landed precisely on his pulse. Her heart sank to the bottom of her stomach, anger surging up instantly, "Damn it, the poison has started to spread through the meridians! If we can't stop it from spreading, Jun Liye will be dead! Didn't this guy tell me not to use internal energy!"
Not daring to delay, Su Qingying immediately lifted Jun Liye up and, as usual, stripped him bare before tossing him into the bath tub.
The night pearl illuminated the entire room, and Su Qingying clearly saw the many new scars on his body.
Some were deep enough to see the bone, some only needed a slight shift to be instantly fatal. Some even still gurgled with blood, staining the hot water in the tub red. Su Qingying was startled by the sight.
With ten nimble fingers, Su Qingying used silver needles to seal each of his acupoints, preventing the toxin from spreading further.
"Ghost Doctor! Ghost Doctor!" After completing the first step, Su Qingying called the Ghost Doctor in. The Ghost Doctor hurried in: "Fifth Princess, what is your command"
Su Qingying rarely spoke so seriously, "My inner strength isn't enough. Later, you and I will use our inner strength to guide the toxins in his body, forcing them back to the dantian. You absolutely cannot stop or retract your power, understand"
"Yes, this old servant knows."
“Well, let’s begin.”
Two people sat down in order. The ghost doctor sat behind Su Qingying, and the two simultaneously exerted their inner strength. Their internal energy seeped into Jun Linyè's body, thread by thread, pushing the poison bit by bit back to the dantian.
"Pfft!" After about the time of an incense stick, the Ghost Doctor couldn't keep up with this life-threatening output of internal energy and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.
The source of internal energy behind her suddenly cut off, all the pressure was concentrated on Su Qingying's body. Su Qingying's pretty face turned pale, and there were signs of overdrawing from her body. She still gritted her teeth and refused to give up, "Ghost doctor, are you alright"
"Fifth Princess, the master's poison is too strong, too overbearing, this old slave... almost... can't hold on... Phew!" He coughed up another mouthful of blood, and the ghost doctor apologetically looked at her. His heart was filled with resentment towards his own incompetence, but in the end, he couldn't resist and fainted.ed country this time is to seek a way to cure the Golden Cicada Gu for my father. Now that Zhao Ruqing has passed away, I am deeply worried about my father's health and won't trouble you any further....
