Outside the Hot Spring Palace.
Under a wall.
Yang Zhilan led Su Xian over the wall and landed firmly on the ground.
At this time, the sky is still dark, but the sky is already whitening in the east, and the sun will rise soon.
"Senior brother, Miss Yang, you have finally come out!"
Zhou Wei hid in a big tree near the wall. When he saw Su Xian and the others appeared, he jumped and landed steadily in front of Su Xian.
He stayed in the tree for most of the night. He was so bored that he yawned from sleep.
After landing in front of Su Xian, his spirit was shaken, his eyes were shining, and with a meaningful smile on his lips, he asked: "Senior brother, have you succeeded?"
"Not yet." Su Xian glanced at him, smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"It's been two or three hours. With your ability, senior brother, you haven't succeeded yet?" Zhou Wei looked unbelieving. As he spoke, he came closer to Su Xian, sniffed and smelled, and said with a smile:
"Senior brother, you are teasing me again. Your body is obviously stained with the strong fragrance of powder, which means that you have succeeded...hahahaha!"
Su Xian looked sideways at him, twitching the corners of his mouth, and said speechlessly: "When I said 'not yet', I meant that I haven't found the autobiography of the late Emperor of Southern Chu yet! Where did you think you were?"
"Oh? It turns out that we are here to find the autobiography of the late Emperor of Southern Chu!" Zhou Wei smiled naively and kept winking.
"Don't think too much. There are maids everywhere in the palace. The maids also need to apply rouge and gouache. I accidentally...smeared some on it." Su Xian made up a reason.
After he finished speaking, he saw Zhou Wei's eyes turning, as if he wanted to say something else, so he waved his hands hurriedly and said: "It's almost dawn, so we shouldn't stay here for a long time. Let's go back to Yaowang Palace first!"
"That's fine!" Zhou Wei smiled and nodded.
"..."
Before dawn.
Su Xian, Yang Zhilan, and Zhou Wei returned to the Medicine King Palace safely.
They didn't alert anyone, and the super masters stationed in Miyagi didn't notice at all.
Naturally, the imperial troops stationed outside did not react at all.
Come and go as you please...
Today is the second day after Su Xian came to Chu Palace. There was basically nothing to do during the day. He only went to the harem to diagnose and treat the Queen Mother.
The rest of the time was spent catching up on sleep.
They barely had any rest last night, which was equivalent to staying up all night.
You must have a good sleep, otherwise you will have no energy at night.
Su Xian slept until dusk in the afternoon.
He had a not-so-good dream. In the dream, Fu Xuerong, the saint of the Silkworm God Sect, still refused to obey him and would rather bleed to death...
This made him a little depressed.
Even in his dream, he frowned slightly.
At this time, the dream had gradually ended, and he was in a state of waking up. He seemed to feel the sunset at dusk, filtering through the door and window, falling on the ground, and the house was golden.
Suddenly, lying on his side, he felt his shoulders being pressed a little uncomfortable, so he turned over and lay on his back, unconsciously placing his right hand to the right.
Um?
Something's wrong!
[Delete 173 words here. The general idea is that Su Xian noticed something abnormal when he was half awake and half asleep. 】
Hold the grass!
Su Xian's whole body trembled, he woke up instantly, turned over and got up.
When was there an extra woman in the room?
It was too sudden. Could it be...a female ghost?
Quickly turning his head to look, Su Xian fell into a daze for an instant——
[Delete 42 words here, the general idea is the details seen by Su Xian's eyes. 】
Isn't this Chu Emperor Tang Guifei, and who is Fu Xuerong, the saint of Tiancan God Sect!
[Delete 500 words here, the main idea is the interaction between Su Xian and Fu Xuerong, and the changes that have occurred in Fu Xuerong. 】
…
…
By the way, why did Fu Xuerong become like this?
It turns out that the love poison is an extremely powerful poison. Once planted, it cannot be cured. It can change a person's temperament and completely fall in love with the person who cast the poison.
Moreover, the effect of changing people's temperament is gradual. The longer the time, the better the effect.
Under normal circumstances, it would be Fu Xuerong, a woman, who would plant the love poison for men, because only women can breed love poison.
However, by chance, Fu Xuerong encountered the love poison and Su Xian became the bewitcher instead. Then Fu Xuerong will fall in love with Su Xian wholeheartedly.
Last night, Fu Xuerong had just been poisoned and was still able to maintain some consciousness.
But now, a whole day has passed, and the poison has doubled, finally completely changing Fu Xuerong's temperament!
It's like a different person.
The specific performance is - being extremely nice to Su Xian.
No, Su Xian's request was to let her rest before sending someone to the Medicine King Palace to summon her, and then Su Xian sneaked into the Hot Spring Palace secretly.
But in the end, Fu Xuerong actually ran over on her own!
[Delete 11 words here to show that Fu Xuerong has become attentive and proactive. 】
As for the oath Fu Xuerong made last night, that she would never take the initiative to send anyone to find Su Xian, she had already forgotten about it in Java.
"So, you have figured it out?"
Su Xian looked at her and asked, with a vague smile on his lips.
The changes that had taken place in Fu Xuerong were far beyond his expectations, but he... liked this change!
"What did Su Lang say? The slave family wanted Su Lang to detoxify the slave family from the beginning!" Fu Xuerong [Delete 38 words here, to the effect that Fu Xuerong is acting coquettishly and showing weakness].
"Really? I remember last night... someone made a bet with me. Have you forgotten?" Su Xian smiled, smiling.
"Of course I haven't forgotten the bet. Anyway, if you win, Su Lang, the Nu family will have nothing to do with it from now on [Delete 31 characters here, to the effect that Fu Xuerong is acting coquettishly and showing weakness]" Fu Xuerong said with a smile.
"Really?"
Su Xian couldn't help but feel ecstatic.
[Delete 189 characters here, the general idea is that Su Xian and Fu Xuerong performed the ceremony of Duke Zhou. 】
…
…
An hour later.
The sky turned completely dark.
In Su Xian's room, he looked at Fu Xuerong and was whispering.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the closed door, and Dongdongdong rang three times.
Before Su Xian could ask, Yang Zhilan's voice came: "Master, the Emperor of Chu sent Eunuch Li to deliver dinner in person and said he wanted to meet the master."
Inside the house, on the couch.
Su Xian rolled over and climbed up, sitting on the edge of the bed looking for shoes.
Fu Xuerong was wrapped in a brocade quilt, with only her head peeking out. She stretched out a piece of her snow-grey wrist from the quilt, gently pulled Su Xian's clothes, and said softly:
"Su Lang, don't leave."
"I still have to meet the people sent by Emperor Chu, otherwise I won't be able to explain it."
Su Xian put on her shoes, patted the back of Fu Xuerong's snow-white hand, and smoothed her hair at the temples, and said with a smile: "I'll be back as soon as I go, don't move around."
"I go with you!"
Seeing that Su Xian was about to leave, Fu Xuerong got out of the bed in a hurry, landed barefoot on the ground, and took Su Xian's hand from behind.
Su Xian stamped his feet, turned around and took a look...
He quickly picked up Fu Xuerong, stuffed her into the bed, covered her with a quilt, and said, "How can you go out to meet people like this?"
"It's just a eunuch, what are you afraid of?" Fu Xuerong pursed her lips and smiled.
"Not even eunuchs!" Su Xian acted arrogantly and wrapped her tightly in a quilt, saying: "You are my woman, you can only...!"
"Su Lang is so domineering!" Fu Xuerong pouted, but her heart was filled with sweetness.
"Besides, there are Zhilan and Zhou Wei outside, so it's inconvenient after all." After Su Xian covered her with a quilt, he caressed her smooth face and said:
"One more thing, you have always been Emperor Chu's noble concubine on the surface, but you showed up here and were seen by people sent by Emperor Chu. What does this sound like?"
"I forgot for a while..." Fu Xuerong's pair of snowy lotus-rooted arms emerged from the quilt again, holding Su Xian's face from left to right: "Su Lang, go and come back quickly,...!"
"I'll deal with you later!"
Su Xian turned around and opened the door.
…
…
When he came to the living room, Eunuch Li had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Su Xian arriving, he shook the whisk in his hand and said politely:
"I've met Mr. Su."
"Eunuch Li." Su Xian bowed and asked with a deep eyebrow, "I wonder what advice Eunuch Li has when he comes to visit late at night? Could it be that His Majesty has some purpose?"
"Mr. Su, Your Majesty values you very much. Your Majesty thought that Mr. Su has been working really hard these past two days, so he ordered someone to prepare a sumptuous dinner."
Eunuch Li said, gently waving to the little eunuchs behind him.
The little eunuchs immediately came forward, each holding a food box in their hands. In the blink of an eye, a large table was filled with delicacies, steaming hot, and quite satisfying.
However, when Su Xian saw this, he frowned secretly.
Emperor Chu’s intention to harm him is unabated!
So many meals were delivered again!
Needless to say, these meals must have been laced with chronic poison!
Once eaten, Su Xian's legs will slowly become disabled, and then he will stay in this palace, like a slave who has lost his freedom, and will be driven by Emperor Chu's humiliation...
In such a miserable life, it would be better to kill him!
Su Xian secretly clenched his fists and suppressed the anger in his heart.
But fortunately, they had already seen through Emperor Chu's tricks, and they still had the antidote with them. Besides, he could choose not to eat this sumptuous dinner.
Just wait until Eunuch Li leaves and dump them all.
In fact, they had not eaten the meals sent by people from the imperial kitchen in the past few days.
Instead, Yang Zhilan personally took action and poured out meals for the three of them from Emperor Chu's royal meal.
They ate whatever the Emperor of Chu ate, and it was quite tasty.
"Mr. Su, these meals are all arranged by His Majesty himself. Don't let us down. Your Majesty has decreed that your servants will be there to watch the young master eat. Mr. Su, please come."
Eunuch Li suddenly said again.
His expression also became ferocious, and the smile before was gone.
Su Xian's heart skipped a beat and he secretly glanced at Yang Zhilan and Zhou Wei.
Emperor Chu is really too deceptive!
Not only did she plan to kill him, but she actually sent someone to watch him eat poisoned food. How cruel!
"Master Su, please! This is the dinner arranged by His Majesty himself. If the Master doesn't eat it, it will be difficult for the servant to explain it when he goes back!" Eunuch Li said with a sinister smile, and his tone was slightly aggravated.
"All right."
Su Xian thought about it for a long time, and finally nodded and agreed. Now is not the time to fall out with Emperor Chu. Besides, he has the antidote, so it doesn't matter.
However, Su Xian will never tolerate this Eunuch Li who obviously knows the inside story and is a lackey who helps Emperor Chu to harm people!
He decided to get rid of this person tonight and collect some interest first.
…
Eunuch Li watched with his own eyes as Su Xian finished a plate of food and finally left with satisfaction.
The attitude is very arrogant.
A look that caught Su Xian's mind.
After Eunuch Li walked away, Su Xian immediately took the antidote. His face looked gloomy, as if he was brewing something.
"Senior brother, Emperor Chu and this eunuch Li have gone too far. What should we do next?" Zhou Wei said angrily.
Su Xian said angrily:
"What should we do? Let's kill Eunuch Li tonight first. This person knows the inside story at a glance. I estimate that this person has helped Emperor Chu assassinate many people before. Killing him will do justice to heaven!"
"..."
Su Xian returned to the bedroom and told Fu Xuerong what had just happened. Fu Xuerong became furious.
She didn't care about anything else and jumped off the bed to kill Eunuch Li.
"There's no rush, let's make some plans first. You happen to be familiar with the situation in the palace. Do you have any good ideas?" Su Xian hurriedly pulled her.
"The slave family of Eunuch Li also knows that he has indeed done many things that are harmful to the world. The total number of lives on his hands is at least twenty or thirty!" Fu Xuerong's voice was cold.
"Sure enough, I didn't accuse him unjustly. It seems I won't be able to kill him tonight!" Su Xian clenched his fists.
"..."
Two quarters of an hour later.
Somewhere in the palace.
Eunuch Li was washing his feet just now. He was leaning back comfortably on the chair. Two young eunuchs were squatting in front of the footbath, rubbing his feet carefully.
Suddenly, there was a soft sound outside the door.
Somewhat abrupt.
Eunuch Li said "hmm", waved his hand and ordered the two young eunuchs:
"You guys go out and take a look."
"yes."
The two young eunuchs got up, opened the door, and walked around the outside of the house. They didn't find anything strange. They only saw a tabby cat catching mice.
They breathed a sigh of relief and turned back to the house.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they opened the door, they let out a shrill scream——
Eunuch Li, who was very important to Emperor Chu, actually... drowned in the footbath!
…
After getting rid of Eunuch Li, the anger in Su Xian's heart gradually disappeared.
On the way back, at the invitation of Fu Xuerong, he took Yang Zhilan and Zhou Wei to the Hot Spring Palace, the palace of Concubine Tang.
Of course, Zhou Wei was still arranged to guard outside the Hot Spring Palace.
Zhou Wei didn't complain at all, and kept winking at Su Xian, as if to say: "Senior brother, you can go with peace of mind, I will guard the outside for you, and no one will disturb you."
Su Xian was too lazy to pay attention to him. After entering the Hot Spring Palace, he followed Fu Xuerong directly into the bedroom.
The moment the bedroom door closed, Fu Xuerong said:
"I didn't expect that Emperor Chu would be so despicable and secretly poisoned Su Lang's food. The Nu family really wants to kill him now to avenge Su Lang!"
"You don't have to worry about this. Sooner or later, I'll have to settle the accounts with him." Su Xian said with a smile.
"By the way, the Nu family has thought of a way to take revenge on Emperor Chu. Would Su Lang want to try it?" Fu Xuerong suddenly smiled.
"What?"
"Su Lang doesn't know that the slave family also has some close friends in this palace. Most of the concubines in the palace are known to the slave family [delete 20 words here]"
