In that case, Su Xiaoxiao understood. What it released was not poison, but a natural anesthetic that could paralyze a person’s nervous system and cause shock and organ failure.
Her yellow pills could detoxify, but they could not resist anesthesia.
In that case, wouldn’t Wei Ting be in danger?
Perhaps because she took it to heart, Su Xiaoxiao really had a nightmare at night.
She dread of the snow-covered Heavenly Mountain Range. It was white and endless.
Wei Ting was wearing a robe made of animal skin. Against the cold snowstorm, he finally found a stalk of Snow Domain Hemp. After taking it off, he walked back and fell into the snow forever.
However, this was not the only bad news.
Seeing that Wei Ting had not returned, Su MO secretly left the camp to look for him. Halfway through, he was ambushed by the people of Northern Yan. The tragedy of Broken North Pass five years ago repeated, and Su MO did not return.
Qin Canglan went to collect his corpse, but he did not expect that there was black gunpowder hidden on the corpse— Su Xiaoxiao woke up.
Cold sweat broke out on her back. When she cald down, she realized that she was lying on the table in the pharmacy lounge.
“When did I co in?”
She rubbed her sleepy eyes. Thinking of the dream just now, she was a little shocked. This should be just her worry. It was not sothing that would definitely happen.
However, the Snow Domain Hemp was indeed too dangerous. If Wei Ting went to pluck it, he was very likely to be poisoned.
It was a sure bet that Su MO would look for him later.
Su Xiaoxiao touched the red hairpin on her head. “On account of my birthday gift, I’ll save you this ti.”
Wait, birthday.
Her birthday was on the first of December. After November, the pharmacy still did not reward her. Including the month on the road in October, there was no reward for two months.
The last ti she encountered such a situation, she had installed Wei Liulang’s prosthetic limb.
What heaven-defying good thing was it this ti?
Su Xiaoxiao was filled with anticipation. She glanced at the table and saw two small dicine bottles.
She picked it up and took a look. There was a bottle of folic acid and a bottle of fetal protection spirit.
She felt sick.
After waiting for two months, this was it? This was it?!
Su Xiaoxiao was now officially conferred the title of Madam by Emperor Jing Xuan. People with such a title could not leave the capital casually. Yuwen Xi had inford Emperor Jing Xuan in advance before going to the West Jin.
The situation was different this ti. Zhuge Qing and Emperor Jing Xuan had just fallen out. If she said that she was looking for dicine for him, Emperor Jing Xuan would definitely not agree.
She needed to play so tricks.
On a sunny afternoon, Su Xiaoxiao blocked Qin Yanran’s path at the entrance of a jewelry shop.
Qin Yanran looked at Su Xiaoxiao unhappily. “What are you doing?”
Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, “Let’s talk in private.”
Qin Yanran said coldly, “I have nothing to say to you.” Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows. “Willow Lane, Xu Qing…”
Qin Yanran’s expression changed. “Get in the carriage.”
Su Xiaoxiao got into Qin Yanran’s carriage.
She didn’t waste her breath on Qin Yanran and went straight to the point. “That night, I followed you to Willow Lane and an incredible secret was uncovered. Don’t be anxious. I wasn’t the only one that night. There was also soone who fought with your guard. Do you want to know who he is?”
Qin Yanran clenched her handkerchief tightly.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “Don’t worry, I’m not interested in the child in your stomach. Who his father is has nothing to do with . I’m only here to make a deal with you. If you cooperate obediently, I’ll tell you who discovered you that night. ”
Qin Yanran stared at her.
Su Xiaoxiao waved her hand. “Forget it, forget it. I’m a generous person. I’ll tell you directly. It’s King Rui, Xiao Shunyang. He has already grasped your secret. The reason why he didn’t reveal it is that it’s not ti to expose you. After all, there’s no point in exposing you. It’s only worthwhile to drag the entire Prince Liang’s Estate down with you.”
Xiao Shunyang was the most powerful competitor for the throne. Being discovered by him was worse than being discovered by Xiao Zhonghua.
Su Xiaoxiao continued, “But to , it doesn’t matter who becos the emperor.”
Qin Yanran looked at her warily. “What exactly do you want?”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled faintly. “Ask King Liang to go to Northern Yan to find dicine for Zhuge Qing. Bring along. Otherwise, I’ll expose you imdiately! ”
Doubt and conflict flashed across Qin Yanran’s eyes. “How can King Liang listen to ?”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “That depends on your ability. If you can’t do it, I can only expose you.”
At night, Emperor Jing Xuan had just finished approving the morial and planned to visit the Empress’s palace.
Eunuch Quan walked over with small steps. “Your Majesty, His Highness Liang requests an audience.”
Emperor Jing Xuan said, “Summon him.”
Xiao Duye entered the imperial study. After bowing heavily to Emperor Jing
Xuan, he confessed his purpose of entering the palace. “…Father, I heard that
Zhuge Qing still needs a dicinal ingredient. This dicine is outside Broken North Pass. I beg Father to allow to go to Broken North Pass to look for the ingredient.”
“You’re looking for a dicinal ingredient for Zhuge Qing?”
Emperor Jing Xuan did not agree.
Zhuge Qing rejected his engagent in public and even pulled out the Western Jin Emperor’s Dragon Spring Sword. It was obvious that he did not take him, the emperor, seriously. Since he could not rope him in, what did Zhuge Qing’s life have to do with him?
Xiao Duye knew that his father would not agree easily. He had already thought of an excuse. “Father, I think that Zhuge Qing can be fought for. If marriage doesn’t work, we’ll do sothing else and give him a life-saving grace. I don’t believe that he won’t repay the kindness. If he doesn’t repay it, there’s still the
Western Jin Emperor to repay it. This is much more reliable than the marriage.”
Indeed, anyone could marry him. If they could give him a woman, could others not?
Life-saving grace was different.
Emperor Jing Xuan frowned and said, “You don’t know dicine. What if you find the wrong one?”
Xiao Duye said firmly, “I don’t know dicine, but soone does. I beg Father to allow to bring Qin Su along to Broken North Pass to find dicine!”
News that King Liang was going to find dicine for Zhuge Qing spread throughout the capital. It was said that he would set off early tomorrow morning.
Xiao Zhonghua’s current residence had been renad King An’s Imperial
Residence.
He was sitting in the study and practicing calligraphy.
Jing Yi hugged his sword and moved around in the chair.
He looked at the endless night a few tis and lowered his eyes a few tis.
Xiao Zhonghua raised his pen and wrote the word “mountain”. “If you want to go, go.”
Jing Yi asked, ‘Where am I going?”
Xiao Zhonghua said calmly, “Broken North Pass.”
Jing Yi hugged his sword tightly. “I didn’t say I wanted to go.”
Xiao Zhonghua smiled faintly. “Are you really not going?”
Jing Yi fell silent.
After a while, he asked, “What will you do if I go?”
Xiao Zhonghua let out a long sigh.
He raised his pen and wrote the word “rain”. “You’re not the only expert beside … You’re old. It’s ti to do your own thing.”
Just like an eagle spreading its wings and flying high, there would always be a day when its wings would voluptuously fly into the distant sky.
Jing Yi had only one mission since he was young, and that was to protect Xiao Zhonghua.
This was given to him by his family. Naturally, he was willing.
Now, he was still willing to sacrifice his life for his cousin, but he also wanted
to protect her..
