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

The Queen Mother waved her hand, signaling Chen Xu to leave.

After he left, the Queen Mother turned her head slightly and asked Bai Lan, "Is that girl Zhiyi back?"

Bai Lan shook her head: "Miss Shen hasn't come back yet. It's getting late, so she must have stayed in the Governor's Mansion. Do you want me to send someone to pick her up?"

The Queen Mother shook her head and said, "Let's take them both back tomorrow. Also, send someone to keep an eye on Chen Xu."

Bai Lan nodded, then raised her eyes slightly and said, "Yes."

"Your Majesty, do you not trust Lord Chen?"

The Queen Mother lightly pressed her head and said in a cold voice: "Chen Xu is naturally power-hungry. If I give him power, he will have to pay a price. If he is unwilling to pay this price, then I will not leave hidden dangers for myself."

"I will send someone to bring Miss Chen back tomorrow." Bai Lan nodded.

The Queen Mother looked at the flickering candlelight in front of the Buddha and narrowed her eyes slightly.

Your Majesty, if you want to take away the military power of the Eastern Territory from me, I would like to see whether you have made any progress over the years.

Fengting Tower.

Su Jingning went to see Ye Ling and didn't come back for a long time.

Gu Yan was worried and prepared to get up and look for it.

Su Jingning pushed the door open and saw Gu Yan'an holding a sword, as if ready to leave: "Are you leaving?"

When Gu Yan'an saw her coming back, he put down the sword in his hand and sat back down.

"No, why did you take so long?" he asked softly.

"Well, aren't you curious about the relationship between me and the Ten Thousand Poison Valley?" Su Jingning saw that he never asked her about the relationship between her and the Ten Thousand Poison Valley from beginning to end.

Gu Yan'an looked into her eyes, a smile on his lips, and chuckled, "Curious, you seem very mysterious, always with many secrets."

He knew that she had learned some martial arts since she was young, but those were all military martial arts. However, her current sharp and unfathomable kung fu could never have come from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

She seemed to have many unknown secrets. Sometimes when she looked at herself, she seemed to be looking at him, but also seemed to be looking at someone through him.

But if she didn't want to say, he wouldn't ask.

Su Jingning smiled softly, walked over to sit beside him and said, "Do you still remember that time in Yucheng when I had a cold attack and almost died?"

Gu Yan'an frowned slightly, thinking of how she looked when she had a cold attack. She was as fragile as a glass doll that would shatter at the slightest touch and seemed like she would disappear at any moment.

"Remember, why did you bring this up?" he asked softly.

"I almost died when I had a cold attack. Fortunately, Master Mo Linyuan was traveling in Yucheng. He somehow found out about my cold and went to my grandparents' house to save me. Later, you left Yucheng. I stayed in Jiangnan to recuperate. When Master Mo Linyuan saw my strange illness for the first time, he took me back to Mo Linyuan for research. Who knew that Mo Linyuan and I had a good relationship? Master Yuan liked me very much and accepted me as his last disciple."

"So, Ye Ling, the leader of the Ten Thousand Poison Valley, is my senior sister." Su Jingning explained to Gu Yan'an in a gentle voice.

Gu Yan'an looked at the girl in front of him with a gentle expression and slim figure, and was a little stunned. He didn't expect that Master Mo Linyuan's most mysterious disciple was Ningning, and she told him all this without reservation.

Thinking of the young man he met in the Buddhist temple, Gu Yan'an felt fortunate that he had begged the young man and persuaded him to go to Shi Mansion.

Gu Yan'an looked at the girl in front of him, a smile spread across his lips, his eyes were gentle and doting, he reached out and gently patted her head, his voice was clear and gentle:

"I didn't expect Guaiguai to be so amazing. It seems I have to work harder to be worthy of you."

He did not mention how he had knelt in the Buddhist temple for several days without eating or drinking before begging Young Master Mo Linyuan to cure her illness. He just smiled at her.

Su Jingning's ears turned red, and he changed the subject and asked him:

"Are you going to stay in Qingzhou tomorrow? I will leave tomorrow."

Gu Yan'an shook his head, tapping the table with his slender white fingers: "I came to Qingzhou to rescue your elder brother, and now your elder brother has come out. I have nothing to do in Qingzhou. Do you want to follow Lord Ye to the Ten Thousand Poison Valley?"

Su Jingning hesitated for a moment, shook his head, and said to him: "I have to go to Laoshan County first."

Gu Yan'an paused tapping his fingers on the table, then looked up at her with a puzzled look in his eyes: "Are you going to Laoshan County too?"

"Also?" Su Jingning looked at him. Who else was going?

"I found out that there is something strange in Laoshan County and I want to go and see it myself. Do you know anything?" Gu Yan'an asked softly.

Su Jingning frowned, his eyes darkened, and he said in a cold voice: "The Shen family and the Queen Mother privately manufactured arms and counterfeit silver in Laoshan County, but I haven't fully investigated it. So I want to go there in person and find out the truth."

Gu Yan'an looked at her pale face, his eyes flashing with pity: "But you have been running around for many days, can your body still bear it?"

Su Jingning nodded, and frowned slightly when he thought of the matter in Laoshan County: "I'm fine. The matter in Laoshan County cannot be delayed any longer, and must be investigated as soon as possible."

The Queen Mother and Chen Xu wanted to cause trouble, so she had to quickly get evidence that the Shen family and the Queen Mother were privately casting silver, iron and arms in Laoshan County. She was afraid that if she delayed for too long, something unexpected would happen.

Gu Yan'an was silent for a long time before he spoke: "It's getting late, you should rest first, I won't disturb you."

Looking at her pale little face, Gu Yan'an's eyes flashed with heartache. She had been running around for many days, and now if she had to rush to Laoshan County again, he was afraid that her body would not be able to bear it.

"Oh, then remember to wait for me tomorrow. I will go to Laoshan County with you." Su Jingning was stunned for a moment, and when he saw him picking up the sword and about to go out, he hurriedly reminded him.

Gu Yan'an turned his back to her, responded softly, and walked out.

The next day.

"Yun Ya, where are they?" Su Jingning got up early in the morning and went to Gu Yan'an's upper room. The room was empty and even the tea was cold. Su Jingning stood in the room with a piece of letter paper in his hand. With a chill in his eyes, he asked Yun Ya behind him in a cold voice.

Yun Ya's eyes flashed with shame, and she said softly, "Miss, the prince went to Laoshan County overnight. The prince told you to follow Valley Master Ye back to the Ten Thousand Poison Valley, and leave the affairs of Laoshan County to him."

Last night, Prince Gu found her on purpose and asked her about the young lady's health these days. He also told her not to wake the young lady up today, let her rest, and not worry about the affairs of Laoshan County. He would go for the young lady.

Su Jingning clenched the letter paper in his hand. They had clearly agreed on something last night, but he actually left secretly after leaving a piece of paper without even saying goodbye. Gu Yan'an, you are really great!

She crumpled the paper in her hand and threw it on the ground. With annoyance in her eyes, she said in a delicate voice, "Where's Senior Sister? Pack up and go back to the Ten Thousand Poison Valley!"

When Yun Ya saw that she had changed her mind and was going back to the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, her eyes lit up and she finally felt relieved. If the young lady continued to travel, she was really afraid that her cold would be triggered.
