In a small room on the side.

Taoye's hands and feet were tied and thrown to the ground. A piece of cloth was stuffed in her mouth, and she kicked the ground feebly.

She never expected that at this time and place, someone would be so bold as to tie her up!

Just when she was anxious and scared, the door to the room was suddenly opened.

A bright light squeezed in, like the light of redemption.

Taoye felt happy, and the uneasiness in her heart instantly fell away, and she couldn't help but shed tears in her eyes.

A thin figure appeared at the door, looking very handsome.

Taoye's heart suddenly beat violently.

"Taoye, are you okay?"

The voice of the visitor was also very nice and somewhat familiar.

When the person came closer, Taoye saw the other person's face clearly.

It's Xiao Yuzi.

The deer on her chest was killed instantly.

"Peach leaves."

Xiao Yuzi came over and took off the cloth strip from her mouth, and then untied the rope binding her hands and feet.

Seeing that Tao Ye's pretty face was a little pale and there were tears in her eyes, Xiao Yuzi was stunned for a moment, thinking that she was too frightened, so he subconsciously pulled her into his arms.

"It's okay, don't be afraid."

The heartbeat in his chest was strong, and his body was tinged with a faint scent of sandalwood from serving Murong Heng all year round.

It smells pretty good.

Tao Ye was startled, and her heart, which was already at peace, suddenly began to feel uneasy again.

After realizing what she was thinking, Taoye felt a little complicated.

There was also some frustration and anger.

She reached out and pushed Xiao Yuzi away.

"I'm fine!"

Xiao Yuzi almost staggered when she pushed him, but he didn't get angry either.

He supported Taoye: "Are your legs weak? I'll help you up."

At this time, Shen Ruoxi also stepped into the room.

"Princess!"

As soon as she saw Shen Ruoxi, Taoye immediately got up and ran towards her quickly.

she said anxiously.

"My slave was walking on the road well, but..."

"I know it all."

Shen Ruoxi patted her shoulder: "Are you scared? Are you injured?"

"That's not true."

"Don't tell anyone about this matter."

Shen Ruoxi spoke slowly.

Then he looked at Xiao Yuzi in the room and Leng Shuang next to him: "And you guys, please don't make this matter public for the time being. We will wait until the prince comes back."

Xiao Yuzi and Tao Ye were both puzzled.

But seeing the stern look in Shen Ruoxi's eyes, they all nodded.

……

In the dark attic, the light was dim, and the sunlight came through the window and fell on the two people in the room.

Su Sheng wore a dark purple python robe with a white jade belt tied around his waist, which made him tall and tall and had a stern face.

In front of him stood a slightly stooped figure with pale hair and a vicissitudes of life on his face.

But a pair of small eyes showed two glimmers of light.

Su Sheng glanced at the person in front of him with a somewhat unhappy expression.

"Did Jiuye bring it?"

Xiao Wentian coughed twice, his voice vicissitudes of life and gloomy.

"No, Jiu Ye is not that easy to refine. Besides, Lao Chan is not in good health recently. I'm afraid Prince Rong will have to wait for a while."

Su Sheng was impatient.

"In that case, why are you meeting me here?"

Xiao Wentian raised his eyes slightly.

"Prince Rong is extremely powerful, but he has been slow to help the old man lift the ban on Yaowang Valley. This really made the old man anxious, so he ignored the danger and wanted to meet and talk to you in person."

Su Sheng said coldly.

"Yao Wang Valley cannot set foot in the capital. This is the prohibition of the late emperor. It does not mean that it can be abolished. I have already said that when King Rui ascends the throne, I will ensure that Yao Wang Valley becomes the number one sect in Dayan Kingdom!"

"Ha ha……"

Xiao Wentian let out a few dry laughs.

"Prince Rui ascended the throne? But I heard that Murong Heng is the crown prince now."

"Then it's not your poison that's to blame?"

Su Sheng glanced at him dissatisfied: "If your poison had worked, Murong Heng would have been poisoned and died by now."

"Prince Rong, there are countless poisons in the world that can kill instantly, but you also know that with Murong Heng's caution and his identity, it would be extremely difficult to give him ordinary poison, not to mention that he is not discovered. risks of."

Xiao Wentian said unhurriedly: "Only I, Jiu Ye, can poison him without knowing it, and without any clues."

Su Sheng said sharply.

"If I had known that your poison cost me so much time, I would not have cooperated with you in the first place!"

The answer Xiao Wentian gave him at the beginning was that Murong Heng would die unknowingly in about three years.

At that time, he did not have as much power as he does now, and Murong Yao was still young, so he agreed to this safe approach.

However, three years have passed long ago, but Murong Heng has not died yet.

until now.

Xiao Wentian pondered for a moment.

"It stands to reason that Murong Heng should be dying. Even if he didn't die suddenly, he should be extremely poisoned and his sanity is gone. Is it possible that he took something to relieve the poison?"

Su Sheng said: "Didn't you say that there is no antidote for Jiu Ye's poison? In that case, how can he alleviate the poison?"

"...Theoretically speaking, there is indeed no cure."

Su Sheng looked slightly sideways: "What do you mean by this?"

Xiao Wentian was silent for a moment, and then said slowly.

"I once read in an ancient medical book that in a place called Pengxian Island, there is a foreign race, called the Spirit Race, who are extremely good at healing poisons, and there is a lineage of them because their ancestors once tasted hundreds of herbs to make elixirs. Not only is the medicine invulnerable to all poisons, but its own blood can also detoxify it. It is said that no matter what kind of poison it is, their blood can detoxify it."

Hearing this, Su Sheng sneered.

"A fantasy."

How could something so outrageous happen in the world? Even if it really existed, these people would have been extinct long ago.

After all, their blood is a rare elixir, so powerful people will definitely be eyeing it.

Xiao Wentian nodded.

"Your Majesty is right, this is indeed impossible."

It was rumored that the Spirit Clan was wiped out a hundred years ago. Where could Murong Heng find people from the Spirit Clan?

Su Sheng looked at the time and said in a deep voice.

"I will find a suitable time to mention the lifting of the ban on Yaowang Valley to the emperor. You should go back quickly today. If someone discovers it, you will be in trouble."

Xiao Wentian did not move.

His eyes shone with a sinister light.

"My lord, I really can't wait any longer."

"what do you mean?"

Su Sheng's eyes glowed with a dangerous light.

He remembered Murong Yao's words.

indeed.

If Xiao Wentian doesn't know how to praise...

Then there is no need to keep it.

Xiao Wentian met his cold gaze and showed a small smile.

"Your Majesty, the old man's health is no longer good. When he came out of the valley, the people under his command have already said that if the old man does not go back safely today, I am afraid that a secret letter will be sent to Murong Heng. As for the content of the letter, that's all. It’s hard to say.”

Su Sheng narrowed his eyes: "Are you threatening me?"

"I don't dare."

Xiao didn't dare to ask, but his eyes showed no fear.

He was seeking skin from a tiger, so he had to make all-out plans.

He believed that even if Su Sheng was dissatisfied with him, he would not dare to take action rashly.

But he couldn't keep irritating him.

After a pause, Xiao Wentian lowered his tone and said, "Your Majesty, I have a way to get the Emperor to immediately lift the ban on my Medicine King Valley, but I need Your Majesty's cooperation in this matter."

Su Sheng turned his head slightly.

"You said."
