Si Tingye stood coldly at the side. He was suddenly so calm that he seemed to have no emotions.
Ning Ruqiu didn't say much when she saw this. She just turned to look at Si Hengqing." Sixth Prince, can you help me prepare some salt and water?"”The change in tone before and after could be said to be like the difference between heaven and earth.
"Oh, okay, I'll go prepare now.”Si Hengqing subconsciously ran out. His biological instincts told him that it was too dangerous to stay here.
After a while, Si Hengqing placed the two things Ning Ruqiu needed in front of her.
Ning Ruqiu poured a portion of the salt into the water and then soaked it in the salt water with the silver needle she carried with her. It took about fifteen minutes before she took it out.
Ning Ruqiu unbuttoned the Emperor's clothes and carefully inserted a needle into his chest where his heart was. Black blood seeped out from the needle hole, emitting a stench.
Si Hengqing covered his nose with a look of disgust, but Ning Ruqiu continued to perform acupuncture with a normal expression. The color of the blood that seeped out gradually turned from black to light, but it still could not return to normal.
Si Tingye also noticed this. Before he could ask, Ning Ruqiu said," Sixth Prince, I still need you to prepare a batch of herbs for me.”
"What medicinal herbs?"
" Seven Blossom Leaves, Toad Skin, Centipede, Humifuse Grass…"
Ning Ruqiu mentioned more than twenty kinds of medicinal herbs. Si Hengqing was stunned when he heard that. He had never heard of at least twenty of them before.
"Please prepare these medicinal herbs as soon as possible, Sixth Prince. If the Emperor's poison is delayed for a period of time, I'm afraid that even the Great Luo Immortal will not be able to save him.”
"No problem. I'll do it right away.”After Si Hengqing finished speaking, he ran out of the Emperor's bedroom, leaving Ning Ruqiu and Si Tingye speechless.
But Ning Ruqiu had no choice but to say," I wonder if Your Highness can send someone to find the Golden Ring Snake in the Empress 'Palace or the Imperial Uncle's residence?"”Ning Ruqiu said slowly. This matter could only be left to Si Tingye.
"Golden Ring Snake?"
"Yes, the emperor's poison should have come from the Golden Ring Snake's venom. However, although the Golden Ring Snake is extremely poisonous, it is naturally docile and its movements are relatively slow. A place like the palace does not suit its habitat, so someone must have brought it in from outside the palace.”
"This king will send people to investigate.”Si Tingye's expression was grave. He had heard about the poison of the golden ring snake. It seemed that someone was afraid that the emperor would die completely, so they used this method.
"I'm afraid I'll have to trouble your highness to help me find a place to stay for a while. I'm penniless now.”Ning Ruqiu said matter-of-factly.
"What if I give you a random place and you run away?”Si Tingye raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't trust Ning Ruqiu.
Ning Ruqiu chuckled." With Your Highness's ability, I'm afraid that even if I run to the ends of the earth, if Your Highness doesn't want to let me go, I still have nowhere to run."”
Ning Ruqiu's words were not a compliment. As a doctor, her years of experience told her not to underestimate any disease, and naturally not to underestimate any enemy.
Si Tingye didn't feel any positive emotions from Ning Ruqiu's words. He thought he could control this woman, but things were getting more and more out of his expectations.
"If Your Highness is worried about me, you can find someone to watch over me before I concoct the antidote. However, after this, Your Highness must remember to fulfill your promise.”
Ning Ruqiu's reminder indeed eased Si Tingye's expression a little. His expression darkened once again as he said coldly," In your eyes, I seem to be a villain who goes back on his word.”
"Your highness 'words are serious, but your highness is used to being high and mighty, how could he let a woman go against your words?”Ning Ruqiu's lips curled into a mocking smile. If she hadn't transmigrated here for no reason, why would she have to face Si Tingye, this temperamental man?
Si Tingye walked in front of Ning Ruqiu and gently lifted her chin with his finger. He looked down at Ning Ruqiu." Woman, you're right. Those who disobey This King never have a good ending.”
"But wangye has been high up in the air for far too long, and has tasted the feeling of being lonely at the top for far too long.”Ning Ruqiu's faint voice traveled into Si Tingye's ears and into his heart.
" What do you mean?!" Si Tingye's two hands held Ning Ruqiu's shoulders, his black eyes staring straight into Ning Ruqiu's eyes.
"It's nothing. I just suddenly felt that Your Highness should learn how to take into account the feelings of others.”Ning Ruqiu didn't know why she would say such a thing. She didn't know if the mockery in her eyes was directed at Si Tingye or herself. She seemed to be a little nosy.
"It seems that this king has more or less overestimated you. How can you say such childish words?”The corners of Si Tingye's lips curled up. With his back facing Ning Ruqiu, his eyes flashed with a cold light." Look at the Emperor lying on the bed. He has already stepped into the gates of hell. As the saying goes, the entire world is the territory of the king, and the coast of the land is the subject of the king. He's the person with the greatest power in the world, but isn't he still being schemed against by the person beside him? He can't resist at all.”
Ning Ruqiu looked at Si Tingye's back and somehow felt a little desolate.
"Most people can't resist the temptation of the throne, but this is like drinking poison to quench thirst. The more you want, the more you lose. God is fair to everyone.”
Ning Ruqiu had long been accustomed to life and death. Even if the Emperor in front of her was already a corpse, it would have no effect on her. However, she wasn't interested in discussing any more theories with Si Tingye.
Si Tingye sighed slightly in his heart. Ning Ruqiu always had her reasons for her words and acted as if she had seen through the world.
"It's almost dawn now. Won't Your Highness return to the Heaven Prison to continue your life as a prisoner?”
"Benwang will send someone to arrange your residence. Before the emperor awakens, you are not allowed to leave that place.”Si Tingye's tone was faintly threatening. He remembered that he had caught Zhao Weirui in the act of drugging her.
"Your Highness can rest assured. I still cherish my life. If I am discovered to be related to the Ye Prince Manor before the Emperor awakens, I'm afraid that my fate will not be good.”Although Si Tingye didn't have the self-awareness of being a prisoner, Ning Ruqiu knew very well that if she failed this time, there would definitely be a lot of trouble in the future.
"Woman, don't think too highly of yourself. Some things are not as simple as you think.”
Before Ning Ruqiu left, Si Tingye suddenly said something like this. What made her feel strange was not the sentence itself, but the reason why Si Tingye would say this.
Ning Ruqiu was arranged by Si Tingye to stay in an inconspicuous residence. Compared to the Ye Manor, this place was no different from a slum. The commoners under the emperor's feet were living like this, let alone other places.
Ning Ruqiu had changed into a set of coarse linen clothes, so her arrival did not attract much attention.
However, Lan Mo was different. His blue clothes were obviously made of high-quality silk. Coupled with his handsome appearance, his brilliance was almost comparable to the light of dozens of candles.
Ning Ruqiu heard footsteps coming from outside the door and subconsciously tightened her grip on the dagger in her sleeve. She didn't expect the uninvited guest to be Lan Mo.
"General Lan?" Ning Ruqiu frowned slightly. Lan Mo had come alone, so he shouldn't have come to put her in jail. Could it be that he had some bad news?
"Miss Ning seemed surprised to see me.”Lan Mo had a signature smile on his face and looked like he was easy to get along with. However, Ning Ruqiu could easily see a hint of alienation in his eyes, which was a little lighter than when they first met.
"I'm really surprised that General Lan could find this place so quickly.”Ning Ruqiu said calmly. Si Tingye wouldn't be so careless as to let everyone know about the place he had arranged, so it was Lan Mo who had come to find him.
Lan Mo replied with a gentle smile, not caring about Ning Ruqiu's probing." I'm just a little worried about Miss Ning's safety. I've heard about the assassins appearing in the palace previously. I think Miss Ning's 'contribution' should be involved, right?”
"Since General Lan already knows everything, why ask when you already know the answer?”
"Does Miss Ning hate me?" A strange light flashed in Lan Mo's eyes as he spoke, seemingly hurt.
Ning Ruqiu was a little helpless, but she still replied coldly," Actually, I just don't like to beat around the bush. I'm too lazy to guess which sentence is true and which is false.”Ning Ruqiu was more inclined to be straightforward with Si Tingye than to compete with Lan Mo, even though they couldn't agree on a single word.
"Miss Ning is indeed different." It was not in vain that he was so interested in her.
"I didn't expect General Lan to still be in the mood to come out and stroll around after such a big incident in the palace. It seems that General Lan isn't worried about the Emperor's life or death.”
"No, no!" Lan Mo stretched out a finger and waved it in front of Ning Ruqiu's eyes." If Miss Ning's words are heard by others, they will punish me for treason and heresy."”
"General Bai Sheng actually cares about such a thing. I thought General Bai Sheng was fearless.”Ning Ruqiu had been tired for the whole night, and now she had to raise her spirits to deal with Lan Mo. It was like the feeling of performing surgery for more than ten hours in the past.
The corners of Lan Mo's lips curled up, as if he had accepted Ning Ruqiu's praise." Actually, I really have something to inform Miss Ning."”
"General Lan, please speak." Ning Ruqiu said seriously.
"The person on duty in the dungeon tonight is the brother of my deputy general. If you have anyone you want to see in the wangfu, you can go and see them in a few hours.”
Ning Ruqiu's face lit up." Are you serious?”Ning Ruqiu had always been thinking about Xiao Tao and the others. This matter involved everyone in the prince's mansion. If Si Tingye couldn't clear his name, what awaited them was death.
"I can't release them, but if you meet them, you should be able to rest assured.”When Lan Mo saw Ning Ruqiu finally smile, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.# Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 56PM #
