"Bah! You were the one who complained first. I didn't leave the entire night. How could it be…"
Before Su Ji could finish her sentence, she realized that Su Ji had tied herself to the bed last night. She didn't know when she had fallen asleep, but when she woke up, she was covered with a blanket and her hands and feet weren't bound.
Come to think of it, that's impossible. He said that I wasn't in bed last night, so where did I go? She untied it herself. Impossible. In order to prevent herself from untying the rope, she deliberately tied it very tightly. It was impossible for her to untie it when she was very itchy and weak. Moreover, there were no traces of her hands and feet being beaten. It didn't seem like he had untied it himself, and he couldn't possibly not know where he had gone, right? What was going on?
She subconsciously patted her head, trying to recall what had happened last night. Judging from his expression, Tuoba Li didn't seem to be lying. What was going on?
Su Ji wanted to figure it out, but she was interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Girl, can I come in? Are you done?" Mu Heng knocked on the door anxiously.
"I'll be done in a while. Let's meet at the door in fifteen minutes, okay? I'm trying on clothes now. Can you go back and wait for me?”
" That's good that you're feeling better. I brought you an apple and placed it by the window. Remember to eat it. I'll be leaving first."
Tuoba Li only spoke after Mu Heng's footsteps disappeared.
"Hand over the antidote together. If you lie to me again, I won't let you off easily. Remember that."
"Alright? We'll mind our own business in the future. Deal!"
Su Ji handed the antidote she had prepared to Tuoba Li, who was walking towards her.
At the same time, Tuoba Li handed over a small porcelain bottle.
The two of them looked at each other for a second. Their actions were almost at the same time. Both of them ate the antidote.
They waited for a few minutes in tacit understanding. After realizing that nothing had happened, they began to do their own things as if what had just happened had nothing to do with them.
Su Ji went back to her bed. She was going to take a nap, hoping that she would remember what happened last night or forget everything when she woke up.
She patiently waited for Cherry to come in with breakfast and told her to tell Mu Heng that she wasn't going and that he should go alone.
Cherry had already walked far away. Su Ji then washed off her makeup and lightly painted her thick lips with a lot of black spots. Then, she went to sleep with relief.
Tuoba Li went to the bedroom and removed his slightly tight clothes. He then went to the bathtub in his room and took a good bath to wash away the bad luck on his body.
The water in the bath was a natural hot spring. His father had built the entire mansion here for this hot spring. This spring was hot in all seasons, and it was the best place to treat cold illnesses.
Taba Li had felt his entire body turn cold just now. Now that he was soaking in this place, he began to circulate his energy to force out all the cold energy in his body. Immediately, he felt unusually comfortable and fell into a deep sleep.
"Brother, I'm in a good mood. Soaking in the pool in broad daylight, isn't it a different feeling?”
Tuoba Li finally opened his hazy eyes with much difficulty. He could vaguely see his own face swaying in front of him, and he was so scared that he lost all his sleepiness.
At this moment, he saw clearly that the person was Tuoba Hong.
"Even the Emperor can be so free, coming to this minister's younger brother's house to stroll around in the day, he won't let the world be in fear and unease."
"I'm here to tell you that you've done enough with the poisoning. Otherwise, you'll scare the entire Northern Wei to the neighboring country, my good brother!"
"Thank you, I already know. Now that my concubines are avoiding me, no one in the entire wangfu dares to take the initiative to approach me. It seems that the empress dowager can't do anything to me! Just in time to help you?"
"It seems that this minister's younger brother is really blaming Zhen. Alright then, I will summon you into the palace today to assist me in handling the court affairs. At that time, you can choose any woman in the palace, okay?”
"I think it's better for my younger brother to stay here and handle government affairs for you! I don't like your lively harem. I don't want to die young.”
"I won't joke around with you anymore. I'm here to let you mentally prepare yourself. The situation at the border has become tense again. I've already sent people to gather information. If the situation is as I expected, you still have to go to the border and help me look after those people who are ready to make trouble.”
"Sigh, my life is at your beck and call. Can I not go? If I don't go, the empress dowager will weaken your military power again. At that time, you will still be in a dilemma. Of course I have to go. Who asked me to be a younger brother? Brother?"
"Alright, then I can rest assured. I'll invite you to the palace for a drink another day and reward you with a few beauties, okay? Haha…"
The two brothers left Tuoba Li's bedroom with smiles on their faces. After sending Tuoba Hong off, Tuoba Li went straight to the study and waited for Mu Heng's arrival.
Zheng Jun, Su Ji wasn't at home these days, so he was very busy. Besides selling flowers, his business was very good. He was so tired that he didn't have time to drink and have fun with his brothers.
In the depths of the forest behind the house, a man in ragged clothes stood side by side with another person.
The morning sun shone through the layers of leaves and onto the white-robed man. The dew on his body reflected the sun's light, and his entire body emitted a sparkling light. He was like an angel in silver, extremely enchanting.
" Sect Master, I've mobilized all the people in Ping Cheng's branch and used twelve days to finally find out the exact location of the two branches of the White Fox Clan. However, the location of the headquarters has not been found yet. Please forgive me, Sect Master. I've done my best."
"It seems that the White Fox Hall is indeed the number one faction in Northern Wei. Bai Libing wasn't a simple person either? No one would believe that he would fall for a stupid woman so easily!”Zheng Jun thought of this and said to the people beside him.
"Elder Li, continue to investigate. Bai Libing has to be more careful. Don't let them notice anything."
Zheng Jun paused for a moment, as if he suddenly remembered something.
"It seems like we have to send a few more people to the Imperial Residence to keep an eye on Tuoba Li. I want to see what this stupid woman is capable of. Was it really interesting to have so many people have designs on her?”
" Sect Leader, forgive me for being blunt, but our purpose here is not…"
Zheng Jun waved his hand and stopped Elder Li's interrogation. Then, he coldly snorted at the person beside him with a serious expression.
"I don't need you to remind me. I'll handle it myself.”
Zheng Jun gave off a gentle breeze, and the leaves fell one after another. Zheng Jun happened to be lying on the leaves, and the sunlight shone on his face, bringing him endless warmth.
He began to think that when Su Ji was around, she would definitely ask him to get flowers, seeds, and water. Although it was not as free as now, he missed the days when he was ordered around and the pleasure of being needed.
He thought about it and laughed. He laughed at himself for being more and more like this stupid little woman. He was actually satisfied with the days when the family was busy making a living. He began to laugh at his stupid thoughts.
A rare genuine smile appeared on Zheng Jun's face.
As Tuoba Li listened to Mu Heng's report, he unknowingly fell asleep. After an unknown period of time, he opened his hazy eyes.
Sitting before him was Doctor Chen, who was taking his pulse. Tuoba Li felt a little heavy and was about to get up when he touched the back of his head and lay down again.
"Wangye, you just woke up, so you will feel a little dizzy. It's just that you've slept for a long time, that's why you're like this. You should rest first. I'll go find someone. You'll be fine after you wake up and eat something.”
Senior Doctor Chen looked at Tuoba Li in delight and stood up to greet him. He wanted to get Tuoba Li's permission to go outside and get someone to bring lunch in.
"Oh, did I sleep for a long time? I don't feel anything at all."
"Wangye, you slept for three days and three nights. It's already noon. Shall I get someone to bring you lunch?”
"Alright, go ahead! I'm just a little hungry."
Tuoba Li tried his best to recall the scene from three days ago. When he returned to the study, he felt a little tired. He thought that it was because of the strange itch that night, but when he saw Mu Heng, he forgot about it. Could it be that I fell for it again? It was impossible for her to be assassinated continuously. She was too bold!
At the thought of this, Tuoba Li called for Doctor Chen.
