Su Liuer lowered her voice.

"If the emperor finds out that you and Yao'er planned this assassination..."

"Second sister, we are not that stupid. Murong Ting is suspicious. After this incident, he will definitely doubt whether these assassins were sent by us, so we will not plan this murder. We just... found a murderer. Chance."

Su Sheng's voice slowed down, trying to comfort her.

He really didn't expect that Murong Yao would be so seriously injured.

He just received news that Shi Hai and his men were ambushing in the capital with the intention of assassinating Leng Ruqing.

He suppressed the news, and then decided to wait for the opportunity with Murong Yao. When Shi Hai attacked Leng Ruqing, Murong Yao appeared in time to save Leng Ruqing, thus winning Leng Ruqing's favor.

Now it seems that the result is better than he imagined.

He had heard about it when he came. Leng Ruqing personally begged the emperor, saying that she wanted to be Murong Yao's equal wife.

It's just Murong Yao's injury...

"Second sister, let me go in and see Yao'er, he..."

"Yao'er's life is no longer in danger. He is resting now. You can go."

Su Liuer loosened his collar, and there was a hint of coolness on her bright face.

"Su Sheng, remember, if this happens a second time, I will never forgive you!"

Su Sheng pursed his thin lips, then lowered his eyes slightly.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard Murong Yao's voice coming from inside the house.

"Mother, let uncle come in."

Hearing this, Su Liuer frowned and seemed to hesitate to speak.

After a while, a look of disappointment appeared on her dignified face, and she turned and walked out of the yard.

Su Sheng looked at her back, his eyes flashed, then turned and walked into Murong Yao's room.

In the room, Murong Yao was propping himself up, preparing to lean up. Su Sheng quickly walked over and helped Murong Yao sit up. Then he put a backrest behind him and let him lean against the bed.

"Yao'er, if I had known you would be so seriously injured, I..."

"If I had known this earlier, I would still have done it."

Murong Yao's deep eyes showed a faint light: "So uncle doesn't have to blame himself."

"I didn't expect that Shi Hai was so skilled. We should send more people today."

Murong Yao said slowly.

"If I hadn't been so seriously injured, the outcome might not have been so smooth."

After that, he lowered his voice and said slowly.

"By the way, uncle, I received a secret letter from Xiao Wentian today."

Su Sheng frowned.

"Xiao Wentian? What does this old fox want to do?"

"Uncle, you can tell by looking at it yourself."

Murong Yao handed the letter under the pillow to Su Sheng.

Su Sheng glanced at it, and then a hint of coldness appeared on his stern face.

"Oh, Xiao Wentian mentioned to me before that he wanted the emperor to lift the ban on Yaowang Valley immediately, but I refused. Now it seems that he hasn't given up yet. It depends on what he means. If we still don't agree If he requests it, he will no longer provide 'Jiu Ye' to us."

"He actually dared to threaten us."

Murong Yao's eyes showed a trace of killing intent.

"If he really dares to do this, then kill him. Keeping a disobedient dog is of no use. It will only bite us back."

Su Sheng thought for a while.

"No, Murong Heng's body seems to be able to hold on for a while now. A few years ago, he was said to be extremely weak, but to this day, he still looks like that. He can't see through it at all."

"Don't worry, uncle. I have received news from the Tai Hospital. The last time he got sick, the Tai Hospital's diagnosis was less than three years ago. Even if he is no longer given 'Jiu Ye', it doesn't matter."

Su Sheng frowned and said in a deep voice.

"Yao'er, the night is long and I have many dreams."

Hearing this, Murong Yao's dark eyes slowly showed a ripple.

He thought of the arrow that Murong Heng shot at Shi Hai today.

He doesn't look like a terminally ill person at all.

And I heard that the last time Murong Heng got sick, he miraculously recovered quickly.

variable……

Host Xuantong's words rang in his mind again.

What exactly is that variable?

Murong Yao pondered for a moment, then nodded slowly.

He placed the red pill in Su Sheng's hand.

"Uncle is right, this 'Jiu Ye' should be used by Brother Jiu Wang first." Finally, he warned, "Don't expose it."

Su Sheng looked at the poison in his hand and narrowed his eyes.

"It's been so many years and Murong Heng has never noticed it. There won't be any surprises."

……

After Shen Ruoxi left the palace, she did not rush back to the General's Mansion, but went to Murong Heng's Prince Ling's Mansion.

She felt Murong Heng's pulse and then frowned slightly.

The breath is disordered and the pulse is uneven.

It should be that he spent too much internal energy on catching the traitor today.

"Your Highness needs more rest and recuperation."

Shen Ruoxi removed her fingers from his wrist and said something.

Hearing this, Murong Heng slowly pulled down his rolled-up sleeves, and his brows suddenly frowned calmly on his cold, white and noble face.

Then he sighed.

Shen Ruoxi asked subconsciously.

"What's wrong with His Royal Highness King Ling?"

"It's okay, but I've been having trouble sleeping recently."

Shen Ruoxi's heart suddenly rose: "Your Majesty, is there something on your mind? Is it something within the court? Your Majesty, you should put your health first now and don't put your thoughts on others."

Murong Heng stared at her.

"It's because of you."

"……I?"

Shen Ruoxi was a little confused, what did it have to do with her?

Shen Ruoxi suddenly thought of something.

She stammered: "Do you mean...when you think of me...you can't sleep at night?"

Murong Heng raised his eyes slightly, then blinked and nodded obediently.

Shen Ruoxi:...

Since this guy had skin-to-skin contact with her, he gradually shed his cold skin and became more and more shameless.

She rolled her eyes in her heart and couldn't help but said.

"I didn't expect that His Highness Ling Wang, who is feared by everyone, would actually be lovesick?"

Murong Heng covered his chest, his narrow fox eyes showing a hint of weakness.

"Is there any medicine?"

This drama queen!

Shen Ruoxi bit her lip.

"No."

After saying that, she put away her silver needle and stood up to leave.

As soon as he stood up, his waist tightened and Murong Heng stretched out his arms and pulled her into his arms.

Shen Ruoxi was stunned and subconsciously raised her head.

As a result, she felt warmth on her lips, and Murong Heng kissed her gently.

She stared at him: "What are you doing?"

Murong Heng gently touched her lips with his fingertips: "Isn't this medicine?"

"Let me go."

Shen Ruoxi was a little embarrassed and subconsciously punched Murong Heng in the chest, then stood up from his arms.

Murong Heng groaned, covering his chest with an uncomfortable expression.

Shen Ruoxi's expression changed slightly.

"Your Highness King Ling, are you okay?"

"My chest feels a little uncomfortable..."

"Put your hands down and I'll show you."

Shen Ruoxi felt a little regretful. He was already in poor health. She didn't have much control over the force of the punch she just made. She wouldn't have caused any surprise to him, right?
