King Cheng's residence, study room.
Murong Cheng had just changed his clothes when Nan Mu's voice came from outside." Your Highness, the Emperor has summoned you into the palace urgently. He said that Qu Qianxun has arrived!”
"Yes." Murong Cheng replied in a low voice. He picked up the mask on the table and put it on. He picked up the wine on the table and stuffed it into a secret compartment before turning around to leave.
"Who summoned you?" Murong Cheng asked Nan Mu when he came under the roof, but his gaze fell on the Green Mist Garden in the distance.
Was she back? Would Qu Qianxun really help Su Lanzhi detoxify the poison tonight?
Why did he feel that things wouldn't go so smoothly?
Murong Cheng was a little absent-minded, so much so that he did not hear Nan Mu's reply clearly.
"Your Highness, are we leaving?" Nan Mu looked at Murong Cheng suspiciously.
Ever since the young miss entered the fu, wangye's behavior had become more and more strange. He would look at the Qinglan Garden absent-mindedly. What was going on?
Murong Cheng only retracted his gaze after a while and said," Let's go."”
*
Jun Qingnuan quietly followed Qu Qianxun into the palace and arrived at the entrance of the Phoenix Palace. Eunuch Cao then said," Please wait in the side hall for a while. I will report to the Emperor."”
"Thank you, Eunuch Cao." Qu Qianxun was neither servile nor overbearing as she followed a palace maid into the side hall to wait.
In front of them, Xuanyuan Yue sat behind the dragon table, rubbing his temples and letting out a tired sigh. He took a deep breath and tried to open his eyes. Then, he raised his head and asked," Qu Qianxun is here. I'm a little uneasy, so I invited King Cheng here for a discussion."”
Murong Cheng said expressionlessly, but his heart was actually feeling uneasy.
If the woman in his residence was Jun Qingnuan, then she would never let Qu Qianxun cure Su Lanzhi's poison so easily.
Moreover, she had met Qu Qianxun tonight. What exactly did they talk about?
Murong Cheng had a feeling that the conversation between Qu Qianxun and Jun Qingnuan tonight was definitely not that simple. There must be something hidden behind this matter, but no one could understand it at this time.
This woman's thinking was too meticulous, and she did things in a roundabout manner. He had already experienced it.
However, what was Qu Qianxun trying to do after she came to cure the poison tonight?
These thoughts flashed through Murong Cheng's mind, but he didn't show them at all.
"No matter what, the Empress 'body won't wait for anyone.”Murong Cheng interrupted him.
Su Lanzhi had been poisoned for a few days. She had not slept for the past few days and had been screaming in pain all day. If he had not bound her limbs, she would have scratched herself into a terrible state.
It had been a few days since he had entered her bedroom, and whenever he heard her roar, his head hurt.
Xuanyuan Yue had two deep dark circles under his eyes. He looked unprecedentedly exhausted and haggard.
Murong Cheng watched all of this, and Su Lanzhi's screams in the bedroom behind him were also clear to his ears. It was like the cries of a ghost, making his scalp go numb.
Murong Cheng's long and narrow eyes narrowed slightly. He followed Xuanyuan Yue into Su Lanzhi's bedroom, but he did not say another word.
The queen's bedside was covered by a golden gauze curtain. The figure struggling and wailing inside could be vaguely seen, like a ghost.
Xuanyuan Yue walked to the front of the gauze curtain and stretched out his hand, but he still did not have the courage to lift the curtain.
On the first day of poisoning, Su Lanzhi's limbs weren't trapped. She scratched her body and face, but they were already a bloody mess.
For a woman like this, he…if he said he cared, he would definitely care.
However, if it was love between a man and a woman, it could no longer be further developed.
Xuanyuan Yue retracted his hand and turned to the door." Please come in, Young Master Qu!"”
Eunuch Cao quickly went to the side hall and stood in front of Qu Qianxun." Young Master Qu, the Emperor has invited you over."”
"Alright." Qu Qianxun subconsciously glanced to her side and followed Eunuch Cao to the bedroom.
Jun Qingnuan was right behind him, looking at the magnificent and luxurious palace. The mockery in her eyes became deeper and deeper, and the coldness in her eyes became more and more bone-chilling.
This was once the bedroom of her elder sister, Jun Qinghuan. She was the destined Empress of Northern Qi.
The eldest daughter of the Jun family was the heir for every generation. This was the rule set by the Northern Qi Taizu.
When she saw her for the last time, the noble Northern Qi Empress was already a bloody mess. If it wasn't for the little bit of kinship, she wouldn't even have recognized her!
Xuanyuan Yue, one day, I will make you pay with blood!
Murong Cheng, who was standing at the side, suddenly felt a sharp killing intent. He could not help but frown as he glanced at Qu Qianxun, who had just entered.
However, Qu Qianxun only kneeled down with a calm expression." Greetings, Your Majesty."”
That killing intent seemed to be just an illusion as it instantly disappeared.
Murong Cheng was suspicious, but he couldn't grasp the slightest clue.
Jun Qingnuan also didn't expect Murong Cheng to be present. She forced herself to calm down and didn't reveal any signs of life.
This man was too dangerous. Moreover, she still did not know his position until now, so she could only be cautious in front of him.
Xuanyuan Yue did not notice Murong Cheng's puzzled expression and said," Get up. The poison the Empress was poisoned with is the Snow Region Ice Plum. Can you cure it?"”
Xuanyuan Yue stared at the eighteen-year-old youth in front of him. His eyes were bloodshot because he hadn't rested well for a few days, and he narrowed them as if he was examining where he got the courage to ask him for Lone Eagle Ridge!
Qu Qianxun could feel the Emperor's hostility, but she pretended not to see anything and said," Since I've made such a big promise, I can definitely cure this poison. However, I have a request. No one is allowed to interrupt the detoxification process. Otherwise, I won't be able to save the Empress 'life!"”
"You just need to give the antidote to the Empress. There are no rules!”Xuanyuan Yue clearly did not have the slightest bit of patience for him.
Murong Cheng suddenly realized from the fear and confidence that flashed in his eyes," So Xuanyuan Yue had called him here tonight to control Qu Qianxun!
Xuanyuan Yue did not want to be controlled by Qu Qianxun. He wanted to maintain his so-called imperial dignity, but he was worried that Qu Qianxun would be angered and suddenly attack him.
