The Evil Emperor's Favorite: The Sickly and Poisonous Concubine Goes Crazy

Su Jingning stood behind Ye Ling, lowered her head slightly, slowly clenched her hands hidden in her sleeves, and tried hard to ignore the sharp eyes that seemed to be able to penetrate her.

She didn't breathe a sigh of relief until she felt the gaze move away from her.

How could Gu Yan'an be here! She didn't tell him that she came to the East Territory. She had been in the East Territory for so long, and she had been busy looking for her brothers and forgot about Gu Yan'an!

She was wearing a veil, so he probably didn't recognize her? He probably didn't know she came to the East.

Shen Zhiyi had been paying attention to Gu Yan'an's every move. He hadn't spoken much since he sat down. Even when the Governor of the East Territory spoke to him, he just nodded or occasionally replied with a word or two. But ever since the leader of the Ten Thousand Poison Valley entered the hall just now, he had been staring at her.

She turned her head to look at the woman who had frightened all the guests, frowned slightly and snorted coldly. She didn't know her, but she was very displeased by the woman's seductive appearance, not to mention her arrogant and rude behavior and speech.

Old Master Chen was waiting for an old friend. She originally thought it was an elderly man, but she didn't expect it was such a young woman who was so rude that she left all the guests waiting for her.

This old master Chen was not unhappy at all, and he was laughing so happily.

"Don't blame me! Don't blame me! I have sent invitations to the Valley Master every year, but he never came. This year, he finally came! I am so happy that I can't express it in words!"

"Xu'er, quickly show Lord Ye a seat!" Old Master Chen looked at Ye Ling with a smile on his face, full of joy.

Chen Xu looked grim as he hurriedly sent someone to arrange a seat. What happened in his house today? Why did such a big Buddha who he couldn't afford to offend come again?

His father never told him that this female devil was coming.

Ye Ling smiled and waved the folding fan in his hand towards Ah Shi: "The old man has invited me several times in a row. If I don't come again, wouldn't it be tactless?"

"This is a hundred-year-old purple ginseng. It is a small gift from me. I wish you a long life and everything goes as you wish!"

Ashi handed a scented wooden box to the maid of the governor's mansion.

When they heard the gift that Ye Ling took out, everyone in the hall looked at the wooden box with admiration.

What is the relationship between this female devil and Old Master Chen that she is so generous? That is purple ginseng, which is priceless, not to mention it is a hundred-year-old purple ginseng!

Shen Zhiyi looked at the purple ginseng, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but when he saw that everyone in the hall had shifted their attention to the woman, and even Master Gu looked at her a few more times, he felt a little unhappy.

She turned her gaze to the masked maid behind her, with a calculating look in her eyes.

Looking at Chen Xu who was sitting next to Gu Yan'an, he smiled and asked:

"Hey, Master Chen, when I first entered the mansion, I heard that the Governor's Mansion is the heart of the Eastern Territory, and that everyone entering the mansion must have their identity verified. Just now, a noble lady brought a face scarf, and she was allowed to take it away. How come this... Valley Master's maid can enter the mansion with a face scarf on her face?"

"I'm not meddling in other people's business, but the Queen Mother said that this Governor's Mansion is an important place in Qingzhou and must not be lost. Lord Chen should be more cautious."

As soon as she finished speaking, the hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at Shen Zhiyi as if they had seen a ghost.

Doesn't this girl from the Imperial Capital know the master of the Ten Thousand Poison Valley, Ye Ling? Who in the Eastern Territory doesn't know that the poison girls in the Ten Thousand Poison Valley all cover their faces with scarves and never show their true faces to others. Anyone who sees their true faces will eventually lose their lives.

This girl actually wanted these vicious women to reveal their true colors in front of that female devil!

Su Jingning, who was standing behind Ye Ling, sneered in her heart. As soon as she entered the palace, she saw Shen Zhiyi. She thought that Duke Qing had hidden her with the Queen Mother of Qingzhou, and Shen Zhiyi would have made some progress. She didn't expect that after not seeing her for a long time, she was still so stupid.

Shen Zhiyi thought he had reminded Chen Xu with good intentions, and was just about to see how that Yeguzhu would continue to pretend to be mysterious.

As a result, no one said anything, but just looked at me with strange eyes.

"Oh? May I know who this girl is?" Ye Ling gently shook the round fan in his hand, his voice charming and soft, with a smile on his face, as if he was not angry at all because of being offended.

"My girl is the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Qing in the Imperial Capital!" The maid behind Shen Zhiyi, Yangzhou, lowered her chin and looked at Ye Ling, very arrogantly.

The smile on Ye Ling's lips faded a little, and his eyes were full of coldness: "Oh! A lady from the Imperial Capital. Does that girl know who can see the true face of the Poison Girl of the Ten Thousand Poison Valley?"

Shen Zhi felt that she was still showing off on purpose, and he felt even more disgusted. He frowned and said:

"who?"

Ye Ling's smile was full of murderous intent:

"dead."

Shen Zhiyi was frightened and felt his hair stand on end at the look in her eyes.

Ye Ling looked at Shen Zhiyi with cold eyes, a sneer on his lips:

"Could it be that Miss Shen also wants to be a dead person?"

"You!" Shen Zhiyi didn't expect her to be so arrogant. He was so angry that he wanted to stand up but was grabbed by Chen Sisi beside him.

"Sister Shen, stop talking!" Chen Sisi looked nervously at Ye Ling, who was full of murderous intent, and held Shen Zhiyi tightly.

"Don't be angry, Valley Master Ye! Miss Shen has just arrived in the East Territory and doesn't know the rules of the Ten Thousand Poison Valley. She offended the Valley Master. I think she said it unintentionally. Please don't take it to heart if she offended the Valley Master."

"Today is my father's birthday, and the mansion has prepared the best Qingzhou Zi wine. Please take a seat quickly and taste this famous Qingzhou wine."

Seeing that the situation was becoming increasingly ugly, Chen Xu was afraid that Ye Ling might start fighting and cause someone to die, so he hurriedly tried to persuade him.

Seeing Chen Xu trying to reconcile in such a friendly manner, Ye Ling's murderous intent subsided a little. He glanced at Shen Zhiyi coldly and took his men to sit down.

Only then did Chen Xu breathe a sigh of relief.

Chen Sisi still held Shen Zhiyi and prevented her from moving.

Shen Zhi felt that Chen Xu not only did not blame Ye Ling, but he even tried to please Ye Ling. He even blamed himself for being rude. Shen Zhi's face suddenly turned ugly. What did Chen Xu mean by this?

"Why are you pulling me?" Shen Zhiyi looked at Chen Sisi with a cold face, anger surging in his heart.

Who is this woman? Why has she never heard of her before?

"That was a close call!" Chen Sisi breathed a sigh of relief and let go of Shen Zhiyi.

"Sister Shen, that is the master of the Ten Thousand Poison Valley! She is a female devil who kills people without blinking an eye. How dare you talk to her like that?"

"She dares to kill me?" Shen Zhiyi said disdainfully.

Chen Sisi hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Sister Shen, do you really not know the identity of Lord Yegu? Although you come from a famous family in the imperial capital, even our Crown Prince would have to be courteous to her. She is Lord Mo Linyuan's direct disciple. If she wants to kill you, no one in this hall can stop her! Moreover, even my father dare not set foot in the Ten Thousand Poison Valley."

"She just wanted to kill you."

Shen Zhiyi's face turned pale. Although she didn't know Mo Linyuan very well, she knew how high his status was in the four countries. Even a princess of noble birth like Mu Xi could only join the outer sect of Mo Linyuan. But even the outer sect of Mo Linyuan had a dignity that ordinary people could not dream of.

That woman was actually Mo Linyuan's inner sect disciple! If she had wanted to kill me just now, I'm afraid no one in this hall would have dared to stop her.

The birthday banquet only really began after Ye Ling took his seat.

Old Master Chen loves to be lively and he is young at heart despite his age. Everyone was afraid of Ye Ling at first, but when they saw that she was just sitting there talking to Old Master Chen without any other movements, they gradually relaxed a little.

Su Jingning stood respectfully behind Ye Ling, raised her eyes and carefully glanced at Gu Yan'an, and saw that he frowned and talked to Chen Xu nonchalantly, and did not pay attention to her, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he really did not recognize her.

Su Jing caught a glimpse of a flash of light outside the hall, and her eyes darkened. She leaned over and whispered something in Ye Ling's ear, then stood there for a while, and then quietly left the hall while the drunken crowd was in chaos.

The moment she left the hall, Gu Yan'an raised his eyes and glanced at her back, with a hint of deep meaning in his eyes.

Seeing that there was no wine in his glass, Chen Xu asked the maidservant to add more wine for him.

As a result, the maid suddenly lost her footing and spilled half of the pot of wine in her hand onto Gu Yan'an, wetting half of his clothes.

"Asshole! You can't even pour a glass of wine!" Upon seeing this, Chen Xu quickly scolded the maid.

The maid knelt on the ground, trembling, and dared not even speak.

Gu Yan'an shook off the wine stains on his hands, lowered his eyes to glance at the maid, and said in a deep voice:

"It's okay, Master Chen, you don't have to blame her."

"But I'm afraid this dress can't be worn anymore. I wonder if I can change it at home."

"Yes, yes, yes. Sir Gu, please follow me." Chen Xu was ready to take him to change it himself.

Finally, he was stopped by Gu Yan'an.

"My lord, please find someone to take me with you."

Chen Xu paused, and immediately sent the guards over, "Quick, take Master Gu to change his clothes!"

The guard immediately stepped forward and said, "Master Gu, please come this way."

Gu Yan'an nodded to Chen Xu before following the guards out the door.

On the other side, after Su Jingning left the palace, he avoided the guards of the Governor's Mansion and went all the way to the garden in the backyard of the Governor's Mansion and stopped in front of a rockery.

"Pavilion Master!"

The monk who was hiding in the Governor's Mansion suddenly appeared behind Su Jingning and saluted her.

Su Jingning lowered his eyes, nodded at him, and motioned him to stand up.

"Is the dungeon entrance here?"

The traveler looked around cautiously, then nodded and said:

"This is a secret passage that I discovered accidentally. The other end is connected to the study in the Governor's Mansion. Master, follow me."

He walked forward, found a slightly raised stone on the rockery, and pressed it down.

A stone in the rockery that was large enough for one person to pass through slowly opened, and Su Jingning followed him in.

The secret passage was very narrow and one had to bend over to pass through. It seemed that few people walked there and there were spider webs and dust everywhere.

After walking for a distance, the road gradually became wider.

Su Jingning followed the traveler, and when they were about to exit the corridor, she suddenly stopped, grabbed him, and leaned against the stone wall, holding her breath.

The footsteps slowly approached them, and Su Jingning took out a dagger from his sleeve and held it in his hand.

He closed his eyes, tapped the hilt of the knife, and counted silently in his heart. Then he suddenly opened his eyes, stepped on the ground, and disappeared instantly. The traveler didn't even see the Pavilion Master's move, but saw that the two guards had fallen to the ground, motionless.

"Walk."

Su Jingning stepped over them and said coldly.

She met several groups of people along the way over the next two days, and Su Jingning knocked her unconscious before she could even see her face.

"Master, we're here."

Su Jingning and Xingshi hid in the dark. She looked up and saw that her eldest brother was locked up alone in a dark cell. There was a person every ten steps outside, and there were more than thirty people in total.

If they attacked by force, they might attract the guards outside, and then they would not be able to leave. Fortunately, they made preparations in advance.

Su Jingning took out a few thumb-sized pills from the bag around his waist and rolled them silently to the feet of the guards.

Su Jingning stared at the pill and counted secretly. Senior sister's magic pill would release poisonous mist within five breaths of hitting the ground, and anyone who smelled the smoke would fall down.

"What is that!" A guard saw a small ball suddenly smoking on the ground and leaned over to take a look.

As a result, he collapsed to the ground in an instant after smoking, and then the guards fainted one after another. Some of the smarter ones wanted to run out to call for help, but they fainted after taking only two steps.

Su Jingchen looked at the smoke that suddenly appeared and the guards at the bottom, and quickly covered his mouth and nose and stepped back. In the end, he was still a step too late and fainted.

Seeing that everyone had fainted, Su Jingning walked out from the darkness, took the key from the guard, opened the door, and quickly walked to Su Jingchen's side.

Seeing that he had just fainted and had no other injuries, he breathed a sigh of relief and took out the antidote and fed it to him.

"Brother!" She called Su Jingchen softly.

Seeing that he showed no signs of waking up, she helped him up.

"Master, I am here." The traveler looked around and turned back after making sure that there was no one around.

Seeing that Su Jingning was about to help Su Jingchen up, he quickly took Su Jingchen from her.

The two of them supported Su Jingchen and prepared to return the same way.

He had just walked halfway when he suddenly stopped.

The traveler looked at the man who suddenly appeared, tightened the knife in his hand and pointed it at him.

Su Jingning raised his eyes to look at the man who was standing with his arms folded across his chest, leaning against the wall and looking at him. A hint of unnaturalness flashed in his eyes.

"How did you come?"

"Didn't I tell you to recuperate in the Imperial Capital? When did you come to the Eastern Territory?" Gu Yan'an stood up straight and looked at Su Jingning. His voice was slightly deep, and the light on his face flickered, making it impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

"It's been a few days. I didn't want to hide it from you, but I didn't know where you were." Su Jingning felt a little sad, and his voice was unconsciously lowered, sounding a little guilty. He also explained a few words.

Gu Yanan looked at the girl with purple veil on her face and her almond eyes wide open, and a look of helplessness flashed in his eyes. He glanced at the person next to her. His voice softened:

"You only took one person with you during the prison break?"

"One person is enough." Su Jingning blinked, with disdain in his soft voice.

Gu Yanan walked to his side and took Su Jingchen from her:

"Let's go out first and talk later."

The banquet hall of the Governor's Mansion.

Gu Yan'an went to change clothes and did not come back for a long time, so Chen Xu sent someone to check on him.

Chen Xu was dragged by Ye Ling and couldn't move away, and he was secretly anxious.

A guard came towards him in a hurry and whispered something in his ear. His face changed, he stood up, said goodbye to Ye Ling, and hurried out of the hall.

Ye Ling's heart tightened, could it be that Xiao Qi had been discovered?

Chen Xu hurried to the garden. He must not let Gu Yan'an find anything in his house!

Just now the guard came to report that Lord Gu changed his clothes and wanted to get rid of the smell of alcohol, so he asked to take a walk. The guard wanted to stop him but couldn't, so he had to come and tell Chen Xu.

Chen Xu wanted to go around the rockery to the study, but he bumped into Gu Yan'an who came out from behind the rockery.

Gu Yan'an's eyes were filled with surprise:

"Master Chen, what is this?"

Chen Xu was startled, and looked behind him calmly, then smiled and said, "I saw that Master Gu had not returned for a long time, and I was worried that something had happened to him, so I came to look for him."

"Oh? I feel a bit stuffy inside, so I just want to take a walk. In that case, let's go back." Gu Yan'an raised his eyebrows and said coldly.

After saying that, he walked out first.

The smile in Chen Xu's eyes faded a little. He took another look at the stone door, and seeing that there seemed to be no signs of loosening, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly caught up with Gu Yan'an.
