Ning Ruqiu suppressed the anger and throbbing in her heart and said coldly," Your Highness, please take off your clothes."”
Si Tingye took off his clothes without hesitation, revealing his muscular upper body, which was as perfect as a sculpture.
"What's wrong? Didn't you see it before?" From an angle that Ning Ruqiu couldn't see, Si Tingye's lips curled up slightly, and a devilish glint flashed across his phoenix eyes.
"I just feel that wangye is indeed different from ordinary people. If it was an ordinary person who suffered such an injury, they would have cried out in pain.”Ning Ruqiu said as she poured the medicine on Si Tingye's wound.
" Hiss..." As expected, she heard Si Tingye's gasp.
"Woman, did you do it on purpose?" Si Tingye exuded a dangerous aura. When he turned around and saw Ning Ruqiu's face under the moonlight, he actually felt a little bewitching.
Ning Ruqiu curled her lips into a smile and slowly said," Your Highness can still feel pain, which proves that there's no poison on the dagger. Besides, wangye doesn't want to stay here any longer, right?”
This group of people was obviously here for her, but they had no chance to go back and report. Presumably, a second group of people would find them soon.
"This king is injured and cannot move.”As Si Tingye spoke, he suddenly tilted his body backward and fell directly onto Ning Ruqiu's body. He rested his head on Ning Ruqiu's lap and said matter-of-factly," As This King's woman, the only thing you need to do now is take good care of This King.”
"Your Highness, do you mean that you want me to die with you?”Ning Ruqiu's eyes turned even colder. If it wasn't for the fact that Si Tingye had saved her life, she might have already grabbed the weapon beside her and stabbed it into his chest.
"Don't worry, This King has no intention of dying here, so you don't have to consider sacrificing yourself for this King so early.”
Ning Ruqiu felt as if she had just heard the biggest joke in the world and could not help but laugh coldly." Your Highness is indeed overly proud of yourself. I believe that Your Highness has long determined that there is no woman in the world who does not like you, right?”
"All women in this world want the same thing. You will soon know this.”Si Tingye didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what he said, even though he had become a woman like Ning Ruqiu, which often exceeded his expectations.
Si Tingye's words made Ning Ruqiu recall that he had said she was just a woman in the Heaven Prison. She felt that the anger in her heart was about to reach the edge of uncontrollable. At this moment, Ning Ruqiu actually gave Si Tingye a tyrannical feeling.
A dangerous glint flashed across Si Tingye's eyes. Neither of them wanted to be at a disadvantage at this moment.
Fortunately, Si Hengqing had rushed over at this time. However, he had never expected to see his most respected third brother and the little eunuch looking at each other affectionately.
"Third Brother?" Si Hengqing spoke carefully, not having the heart to ruin the beautiful scene in front of him.
Si Tingye stood up, his movements unhindered as if he had never been injured. However, the thick smell of blood seemed to fill Ning Ruqiu's nose, and a dark light flashed past her eyes so quickly that no one could notice it.
"Qing, your movements are getting slower and slower.”Si Tingye raised his eyebrows, but his tone was flat.
Si Hengqing flinched and replied," Third Brother, I know I was wrong. This won't happen again."”
"But third brother, is this guy your lover?”Si Hengqing really dared to say anything as he pointed at Ning Ruqiu and asked fawningly.
Si Tingye and Ning Ruqiu's faces darkened at the same time. Si Hengqing wondered why it had suddenly become so cold here.
Si Tingye's face was still livid as he replied," She's This King's woman.”
Si Hengqing's eyes widened in surprise. He said in disbelief," Oh? So it's Third Sister-in-law. I've heard a lot about you. Nice to meet you!”
Ning Ruqiu was rather speechless at Si Tingye's off-topic younger brother. She said helplessly," If I remember correctly, you actually don't know me at all.”
However, Si Hengqing did not feel embarrassed at all that he had been exposed. Instead, he said happily," Don't you know each other now? Besides, I rarely go to Third Brother's residence. I find those chattering women too noisy, but I didn't expect Third Sister-in-law to be so loyal. In order to save Third Brother, you even disguised yourself as a eunuch. You really make me admire you!”
Ning Ruqiu really wanted to know who was the noisy one. She remembered that Lan Mo had said that Si Hengqing and Si Tingye were brothers born from the same mother, but why was there such a huge difference?
"Third Brother, I didn't expect you to marry such a good woman. Didn't you see how anxious and worried Third Sister-in-law was when she and Lan Mo entered the palace?”Si Hengqing said happily. However, he felt that his surroundings were getting colder and colder.
It was Ning Ruqiu's first time seeing someone with such low EQ. Si Tingye's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, but Si Hengqing couldn't tell at all.
"Shut up!" Si Tingye finally couldn't take it anymore and berated her.
Si Hengqing immediately covered his mouth with his hand and looked at Si Tingye aggrievedly, not knowing what he had said wrong.
"Qing, did you come here just to talk nonsense?”
"Of course not. I saw that the Empress had sent many people to search the palace, so I knew that something must have happened, so I came all the way here to take a look.”Si Hengqing stood straight like a soldier listening to a general's lecture.
"Since the Empress has dispersed her forces to search the palace, presumably the guards outside the Emperor's chambers will be a little lax. This is a good opportunity for us to go over.”Si Tingye analyzed calmly.
"That's right, third brother is still smart!" Si Hengqing really forgot the pain after the wound healed. In the blink of an eye, he replied energetically.
The moment the three of them left the Cold Palace, the guards caught up with them. However, they only saw corpses all over the ground and no trace of the murderer.
Set up Kun Palace.
The Empress paced back and forth anxiously in her own palace. More than an hour had passed, but there was still no news of the assassin. If the assassin was deliberately sent by someone to inquire about the news, wouldn't their plan be exposed?
"What you need to do now is to stay calm and not panic.”Xu Chuliang said impatiently.
"Calm down? How can bengong keep her cool? Perhaps someone already knows that we plotted against that old thing. At that time, you and I will both die.”
"You can rest assured that those who have been poisoned have no chance of waking up. As long as the Emperor does not wake up, who can trouble the current Empress and Crown Prince?”
Xu Chuliang's words finally calmed the Empress down a little. A hint of viciousness flashed across her eyes." It's time to send that old thing on her way."”
Si Tingye and the other two finally arrived at the Emperor's bedroom. The Emperor was just like what Ning Ruqiu had seen before, lying quietly on the dragon bed. The room was filled with the strong smell of medicine.
Ning Ruqiu lifted the curtain and saw an old man with a haggard face. His breathing was so weak that it was almost undetectable.
Ning Ruqiu checked the Emperor's pulse. Coupled with the symptoms the Emperor was showing now, Ning Ruqiu had confirmed her initial judgment. The Emperor was poisoned by a rare neurotoxin. With the current medical standards, there was probably no good solution.
There were so many poisons in the world, so why did the Empress choose this one?
"Can the emperor still be saved?" Si Hengqing did not expect the Emperor to have become like this and could not help but ask worriedly.
Si Tingye saw a flash of understanding in Ning Ruqiu's eyes, but he had no intention of speaking.
"Do you already have a solution?”Si Tingye asked with a frown.
"Your Highness, can you speak further?" Ning Ruqiu replied calmly.
"If this king remembered correctly, you volunteered to cure the emperor. In the end, what is your current performance?”Si Tingye said angrily. He was indeed dissatisfied with Ning Ruqiu's concealment.
"Your Highness, I do know what poison the Emperor has been poisoned with, but this poison is too troublesome and has already seeped into his internal organs. All I can do is try my best to neutralize the poison and let the Emperor wake up first.”Ning Ruqiu paused and continued," But if you want me to save the Emperor, Your Highness must first agree to one condition of mine.”
"Ning Ruqiu! Is this king indulging you too much? That's why you think you still have the right to negotiate with this king at this time?”Si Tingye's expression was terrifyingly dark. He grabbed Ning Ruqiu's slender neck with one hand and pushed her against the wall.
Si Hengqing was shocked by the sudden situation, but he didn't dare to go up and dissuade her.
" Cough cough…" Ning Ruqiu tried to catch her breath, but she had no intention of compromising." Your Highness, if you don't agree to my conditions, I'm afraid the Emperor won't be able to live until you find another doctor who can help."”
Si Tingye looked at the cold smile on Ning Ruqiu's face. At that moment, he really had the urge to kill her, but in the end, he let go.
Ning Ruqiu slumped on the ground, her face so red that she looked like she had been cooked blind. When Si Tingye wanted to kill her, she had also felt his killing intent.
Si Tingye looked coldly at Ning Ruqiu. He had long realized that she was no longer the concubine he had taken in back then, but now that things had come to this, he was even more certain. This woman had disobeyed him time and time again and had never put him in her eyes.
"What's wrong? Your Highness has finally changed your mind?" Ning Ruqiu didn't mind angering him again as long as she could leave that cage completely.
"Ning Ruqiu, this king agrees to your conditions. As long as you can wake the emperor up, this king will let you leave!”Si Tingye said through gritted teeth. He clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes were filled with a fury that could swallow anyone alive. He exuded a dangerous aura.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Ning Ruqiu stood up and met Si Tingye's gaze without any fear. She said word by word," Your Highness, remember to keep your word.”# Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 56PM #
