Shen Wantang slowly opened his eyes, but everything in front of him was blurry and he could only see the rough outline of Lian Zhao.

Lian Zhao took a closer look and saw that Shen Wantang's face was even paler than the Dongzhu beads worn by the nobles.

Unexpectedly, Lian Zhao, who usually does nothing serious, now looks so dignified.

After a moment, Shen Wantang's eyes tightened, and he felt a fishy smell in his mouth, and there seemed to be a mouthful of blood in his chest.

It's now!

Lian Zhao pulled out the silver needles from her body. The moment the last needle was pulled out, Shen Wantang suddenly sat up, supporting herself on the bed with her trembling arms.

puff--

A mouthful of blood spurted out.

"Miss!" Qing'e, who had just run back, stood there in a daze, and the medicine in her hand fell to the ground.

The grief and anger in her heart turned into tears and burst out. She ran over and threw herself on the head of Shen Wantang's bed.

"That's great, that's great..." Lian Zhao let out a long sigh, and the breath in his heart slowly relaxed.

After spitting out the blood in his chest, Shen Wantang felt much more relieved and his body was much stronger than before.

"I'm fine..." She spoke in a low voice, her voice a little hoarse due to the discomfort just now.

"Okay, stop standing there staring at each other, and go make some medicine for your young lady!"

Lian Zhao took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling a little scared.

After Qing'e left, Shen Wantang leaned leisurely against the bed.

"Can you tell me the news about Rongguo now?" Lian Zhao leaned aside and calmly poured a cup of tea.

"The situation in Rong Country is not very peaceful." Shen Wantang pursed her lips and spoke.

After he finished speaking, Lian Zhao paused for a moment, pretending nothing had happened, and cleared his throat, "What's wrong?"

"Your Highness, as a person from Rong State, don't you know how chaotic the officialdom of Rong State is?" Shen Wantang turned his head, raised the corners of his eyebrows, and his inquiring eyes fell on Lian Zhao.

"Miss Shen, you are joking. As an abandoned child of Rong State, they will naturally not let me take over government affairs. I know very little about officialdom."

Lian Zhao's words sounded very convincing. If it were someone else, they would naturally believe it completely.

Shen Wantang twitched the corner of her mouth. She understood human nature best.

"If Your Highness doesn't care, why would you ask me?" Shen Wantang curled his lips.

As if someone had touched his sore spot, Lian Zhao's eyes narrowed: "You said you would tell me, are you going to go back on your word now?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lian Zhao slammed the teacup on the table.

I thought that the princes who ran businesses in other countries were all generous and steady, but unexpectedly, Lian Zhao was an impatient person.

In that case, Shen Wantang had no intention of teasing her.

"After your Highness has cleared all the remaining poison in my body, I will naturally tell your Highness exactly what happened in the officialdom of Rong State."

After the words were spoken, the room fell silent.

Shen Wantang's all-seeing eyes fell on Lian Zhao, but Lian Zhao, who had been aggressive just now, now didn't dare to look at anyone.

"You...you..." After being exposed, Lian Zhao started to speak incoherently and looked around, trying to hide something.

"Your Highness, have you forgotten? I am a martial artist and I know my body best." Shen Wantang spoke frankly, slowly moving his body and was about to get out of bed.

But the powerful aura around her made Lian Zhao feel uneasy.

"You, what do you want to do..." Lian Zhao staggered to his feet, staring at Shen Wantang with eyes like an angry young animal, and even put his hands up to protect his chest.

Shen Wantang stood up calmly and walked to the table.

"Your Highness, if you don't want this news, please consider it yourself." Shen Wantang poured a cup of tea and moistened his dry throat.

In the capital, there was a rumor among the ladies of famous families that if anyone married the vicious and suspicious Shen Wantang, they would be in big trouble!

Unexpectedly, Shen Wantang herself was even more terrifying than what these ladies had rumored—

It seems that there is no need to marry. As long as you have any connection with her, you will be unlucky!

Lian Zhao put his hand down angrily and said with a curled lip: "Who would dare to marry a woman like you!"

boom!

The teacup was slammed on the table. Shen Wantang slowly raised his fierce eyes and looked at Lian Zhao.

Suddenly, the quiet room was filled with only a faint sound of crackling.

The teacup in front of Shen Wantang shattered all over the table in front of Lian Zhao.

"Your Highness, whether I marry or not, and who I marry, is not your concern." She spoke each word with an indifferent voice, colder than the freezing night in the snowy mountains.

Qing'e hurried over with the medicine, but as soon as she entered the room, she felt that the atmosphere was wrong.

"Qing'e, please show the guest out." Shen Wantang's cold face slowly forced a smile.

Lian Zhao ran hurriedly in the quiet courtyard, looking back from time to time.

"I've only detoxified you for 70% of the poison and you're able to crush the teacup with your bare hands. If I detoxify you completely, it will cost me my life!" Lian Zhao muttered to himself and looked around the yard, his heart beating fast.

"It must be that the feng shui of this yard is bad. I will never come here again!"

In the palace, next to the koi pond in the imperial garden.

"He just accepted it like that?" Ji Xunchuan grabbed a handful of fish food and threw it into the koi pond.

The fishes scrambled for the spot, causing ripples in the pond.

The eunuch standing by the side hunched over, his face full of displeasure: "Your Majesty, Prince Cen has accepted it."

"I thought he was unwilling. Now that he has accepted it, that's good. It saves me the trouble of persuading him." Ji Xunchuan clapped his hands, turned around and sat in the pavilion.

The eunuch followed behind him.

"Your Majesty, I wonder if I have angered Prince Cen. Prince Cen has given me a very harsh look."

The eunuch's voice was trembling, and he raised his eyes from time to time to observe Ji Xunchuan's expression.

Before the eunuch could finish his words, Ji Xunchuan waved his hand and said, "Are you not being nice to me, or are you not willing to be nice to me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the servants around him knelt down, not daring to breathe.

The eunuch who had just been questioned felt dizzy and almost fainted.

"Forget it. He is the Prince Cen. He has military merits and his family is powerful. I still need a minister like him. What's wrong with being a little arrogant?"

Ji Xunchuan smiled faintly and spoke slowly.

But beneath this smile, there is a hint of darkness.

"Go and tell Miss Shen, I have something to tell you." Ji Xunchuan changed the subject.

Everyone's hearts also fell, and the eunuch kneeling beside them said repeatedly: "Yes."

The news from the palace reached the Shen family.

Shen Wantang hurriedly packed up and prepared to enter the palace.

The medicine Lian Zhao gave me was indeed effective. After just one dose, I felt much better and lighter.

"Eunuch, why did the emperor summon me to the palace this time?"
