Xia Luotong looked at Wu Zechen like this. After seeing how he got along with the emperor, he realized for the first time how difficult it was for him. It was also the first time he knew how tense the relationship between him and the emperor was.
But thinking about the way he contradicted the emperor just for her own sake, she couldn't help but worry: "Is it really okay that you contradicted the emperor like that just now? I think the emperor seems to be very angry."
"It doesn't matter, even if it hadn't happened today, he wouldn't have made it easy for me. In this case, why should I wrong myself and you?" Wu Zechen said with a cold look, "I just returned to Beijing before, I can only have more Tolerance only makes him press harder and harder, but now it doesn't have to be that way."
With his current strength, his good uncle can only engage in some shameful tricks secretly, and he can't openly break up with him.
"In that case, if you hadn't already established yourself in the capital, I'm afraid this marriage wouldn't have been possible." Xia Luotong looked at him with a smile.
Speaking of this, the look in Wu Zechen's eyes softened instantly, and he raised his hand to caress her cheek: "I am lucky to meet you in this life."
Seeing the tenderness in his eyes, Xia Luotong felt warm in her heart, but at the same time, she also sounded the alarm.
After what happened today, even she could see how much Wu Zechen cared about her, let alone others?
I'm afraid that the emperor will keep an eye on her, and even the prince will have dirty thoughts about her. Those forces that are hostile to Wu Zechen are also likely to notice her existence. These people and forces are likely to use her to threaten Wu Zechen.
She doesn't want to be a burden or burden to him, nor does she want to be that dodder flower that needs protection everywhere, so only by becoming stronger can she have enough strength to protect herself and those she cares about.
Although her poison skills are powerful, they are somewhat limited. If all the poisons she carries are used up, she will lose most of her ability to resist, and only her acupuncture skills will be left.
If you simply want to defeat the enemy with acupuncture, you need a certain amount of skill to support it. Otherwise, given the size of the silver needle, you may be defeated before you even have a chance to take action.
In fact, in her previous life, she already had a set of fighting methods that were very suitable for her. With her agile movement, she could maximize the characteristics of the silver needle to achieve offensive or defensive effects.
It's just that in this life, due to the previous poisoning, her health has not been very good. Now that she has finally recovered, it is time to pick up the things from the past.
As long as she can recover the skills of her previous life, her strength will be greatly improved and she will have a certain ability to protect herself. Although she is not as good as those masters who have cultivated internal strength, with the combination of poisonous skills, as long as she does not encounter Wu Yongyuan and Zhou Most masters like Xin can handle it.
It would be great if she could cultivate her inner strength, but at her current age, it might not be that easy. In addition, it also depends on talent, so she doesn't force it.
While Xia Luotong was thinking about improving his self-protection ability, he held hands with Wu Zechen and walked toward Cining Palace.
However, when he was about to reach Cining Palace, the hand holding him suddenly tightened, and even trembled slightly unnoticeably.
Xia Luotong was startled, and quickly turned to look at Wu Zechen, and saw that his face was pale and his forehead was covered with cold sweat. Although his expression was still calm and unruffled, his lips were white and his jaw was stiff. It can be seen from the lines that he must be clenching his teeth at this moment.
Her eyelids twitched, and her palms calmly touched his pulse——
really! He's addicted!
The lotus heart grass just now must have stimulated the poison in his body, and now it finally broke out!
Xia Luotong knew that Wu Zechen was carrying the pills she had given him to suppress the poison, but it was better to block it than to remove it. Since the poison had already appeared, it would be better to take this opportunity to carry out today's detoxification treatment, and the effect would be more obvious.
only……
Xia Luotong looked at Wu Zechen holding back the pain, and felt a little pity in his heart: "How do you feel now? Can you make it to Cining Palace? I want to take this opportunity to detoxify you."
Although the Queen Mother did not know the person behind the poisoning, she did know about Wu Zechen's poisoning. Coupled with the Queen Mother's control over Cining Palace, it was very safe to detoxify in Cining Palace, at least she would not be exposed. Detoxification, as well as the fact that Wu Zechen has detoxified most of his poison.
"Yes, let's go!" Wu Zechen gritted his teeth and spat out these two words, then forced himself to continue walking forward.
Lindong and Lian Ye, who were behind them, also noticed something was wrong at this time. They followed a few steps and came behind the two of them. They were about to step forward to help them, but Xia Luotong stopped their movements with his eyes.
Although she was very close to Cining Palace at this time, she had not yet fully entered Cining Palace, so people would see her, so she had to be very careful.
Xia Luotong supported Wu Zechen, managed to speed up a bit, and finally arrived at Cining Palace.
Everyone in the Cining Palace recognized Prince An and had obtained the order from the Queen Mother, so they arrived at the main hall where the Queen Mother lived without any hindrance.
As soon as he stepped into the palace, he saw the Queen Mother and Si Hanyan sitting together and chatting. The Queen Mother was amused by Si Hanyan and her eyes were smiling, obviously she was in a good mood.
When she saw Wu Zechen and Xia Luotong coming in, the Queen Mother showed a bit of surprise: "Why are you here?"
However, Xia Luotong, who was walking along the way, did not answer the Queen Mother's words. Instead, he looked at Si Hanyan and said, "Hanyan, I'm sorry, please stay away for a while."
As soon as these words came out, the Queen Mother and Si Hanyan were both stunned. Obviously they didn't expect that Xia Luotong had just entered the palace and opened his mouth to say this. You must know that this is Cining Palace, not Prince An's Palace, such words are enough. It's quite disrespectful.
Fortunately, Si Hanyan had a close relationship with Xia Luotong. He immediately noticed Xia Luotong's serious face and knew that she must have something important. So he nodded in agreement without saying a word, stood up quickly, and saluted the Queen Mother. He immediately walked out of the palace.
How sharp are the Queen Mother's eyes? Naturally, he immediately noticed something was wrong between his grandson and his wife, especially his grandson Wu Zechen, whose expression was obviously different.
Suddenly, she thought of Wu Zechen's poisoning, her heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly said sternly: "Everyone, get out! Wait outside, no one is allowed in!"
As soon as the Queen Mother said these words, her stern tone made the palace attendants in the palace dare not delay at all, and they all retreated in the blink of an eye. Only the Queen Mother, Wu Zechen, Xia Luotong and the Queen Mother's confidant Eunuch Chang Xi were left in the entire hall.
The moment the palace door closed, Wu Zechen finally breathed a sigh of relief, staggered and fell on Xia Luotong!
