"Why are you suddenly losing your temper? We have to take a long-term approach to deal with Chu Heng. Not only did we not hurt him at all, but we also alerted the enemy."

"Mother, there will be a battle between him and me sooner or later, so there is no point in alerting the enemy."

But he really underestimated Chu Heng.

Yesterday he was so angry that he lost his mind. Although he sent people to assassinate Chu Heng without a careful plan, all the people he sent were highly skilled in martial arts.

Chu Heng easily dealt with thirty masters, he could see it clearly from a distance.

"He has no interest in the throne. He has been pretending for so many years. What did you do to provoke him to confront you?"

Chu Ze's eyes dodged.

After all, Concubine Xian had been immersed in the harem for decades, so she quickly guessed, "Is it Cheng Jiuyuan?"

At the palace banquet last night, she saw the look her son gave Cheng Jiuyuan.

She thought he was sensible, but she didn't expect him to be so impulsive. She really underestimated the influence of Cheng Jiuyuan on him.

"You are so confused. She is just a woman. When you sit in that position, what kind of woman can you not get?"

"Don't worry, mother. No matter what Chu Heng does, he can't defeat me."

Xian Fei nodded and said, "You are right. Once the secret is exposed, the ministers will no longer support him. Your father has no choice but you in order to ensure that there will be a successor to his country."

"I have made all the arrangements. When the rest period is over, Chu Heng will completely lose the qualifications to fight me."

And someone like Cheng Zongyang who is best at judging the situation will definitely know what to choose.

……

After leaving, Chu Heng found Emperor Zhaolie and said, "Father, I think it is not a good sign to be assassinated at the beginning of the new year, so I decided to stay in Huguo Temple for a few days."

Emperor Zhaolie would rather believe in such mysterious things.

"Go ahead and bring more guards."

On the second day, Cheng Jiuyuan also said goodbye to Cheng Zongyang, using the excuse of staying with her master for a few days.

The two set out one after the other and finally reached their destination after walking for most of the day.

"Is it safe here?" Cheng Jiuyuan looked around.

"Don't worry, this villa is full of traps, and there are many experts hiding in the dark." Chu Heng said as he took her to a room.

"You take a rest first..."

"I'm not tired. We'll start detoxifying in half an hour."

Delay will lead to changes, the sooner the detoxification is done the better.

"What do you need me to prepare?"

"I have brought all the herbs needed for detoxification. You only need to prepare a room and a wooden barrel."

Chu Heng quickly ordered people to prepare.

Half an hour later, Cheng Jiuyuan reached out to test the water temperature, threw the herbs in, and took out bottles and jars to pour them in.

"Okay, take off your clothes and go in, soak for half an hour." After saying that, Cheng Jiuyuan went behind the screen.

Chu Heng took off his clothes and when he entered the wooden barrel, he couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.

"For the next three days, you have to soak in the water for half an hour every day. The more poisoned you are, the more painful it will be when the liquid comes into contact with your skin. Just bear with it."

After a while, Chu Heng'er's head was covered with sweat.

His whole body was filled with pain, as if a huge force was tearing his flesh apart.

When Cheng Jiuyuan heard that apart from the muffled groan at the beginning, Chu Heng didn't make any other sound, she couldn't help but admire him.

The poison that had been given to him since he was a child had already penetrated deep into his lungs. To get rid of it was as easy as peeling off his skin.

Chu Heng clenched his fists, veins bulging on his arms and neck.

Just when he felt he was about to reach his limit, the sound of a piano rang out.

The sound of the piano seemed like a spring breeze and drizzle, which could heal all wounds wherever it went.

He persisted in listening to the piano music for a full half hour, and Cheng Jiuyuan also played for half an hour, and his fingertips felt a little sore when they touched it.

Chu Heng climbed out of the wooden barrel, put on his clothes, and lay on the bed like a dying man.

"You can...come in..."

Cheng Jiuyuan walked around the screen, took a look at the water in the bucket that had turned dark, then walked to the window and took out a silver needle.

"Only a combination of medicinal bath and acupuncture can detoxify. Needling blood transfusion is no easier than a medicinal bath. You..."

"It's okay, just keep on giving me the needle, I can handle it!"

Cheng Jiuyuan didn't say much. Facing him who was only wearing shorts, she didn't show any shyness and inserted the needle very quickly.

As the needles fell one by one, Chu Heng's face became paler and paler, and the bedding under him was torn to pieces by him.

The so-called three days of sleepless nights means that from the beginning of detoxification, your body will keep hurting, and the pain will get worse and worse, making it impossible to sleep at all.

The first day was hard enough, and the rest will be even harder.

After finally making it to the evening, Chi Zhang came in with food.

"After dinner, you can go and have a rest. Chi Zhang and Shan Lan are watching you here." Acupuncture is extremely energy-consuming, and Chu Heng knew that she must be very tired.

Cheng Jiuyuan shook his head. "We can't slack off in detoxification. If something unexpected happens, all our efforts will be wasted. Don't worry about me. As a martial artist, I can handle it."

After hearing what Cheng Jiuyuan said, Chi Zhang and Shan Lan of course hoped that their master would not get into any trouble, so they did not try to persuade him.

The night gradually deepened. Chi Zhang and the other man were guarding outside the door, while Cheng Jiuyuan was sitting beside the bed, leaning against it.

Chu Heng felt a burning pain all over his body and had no desire to sleep.

"Come and sleep on your bed." Chu Heng, with a head full of golden needles, moved in carefully.

"fine……"

"You want me to get up and carry you up?" Chu Heng interrupted her.

"Then I'll put a blanket on the floor..."

"Look at me now, what can I do to you?"

Cheng Jiuyuan was stunned, but after thinking about it, it made sense. Besides, this person was none other than the one she wanted to spend the rest of her life with.

She stopped being pretentious, took off her shoes and lay down on the bed.

Seeing her leaning against the edge of the bed, Chu Heng smiled helplessly.

Cheng Jiuyuan turned her head and couldn't take her eyes away.

At this moment, his face was unusually pale, and his long black hair scattered on the pillow like a waterfall, forming a sharp contrast with his pale skin, making him look very fragile, with a fragile beauty everywhere.

"Don't look at me like that, or I can't help it." Chu Heng raised his lips into a wicked smile.

Cheng Jiuyuan glared at him: "Even if you want to, you are powerless now."

Chu Heng gritted his teeth.

Indeed, now he can only satisfy his craving for pleasure.

"You will pay for what you said."

After saying that, he stretched out his hands with great effort and held the person in his arms.

"Don't move, be careful of the needle..."

"It'll be fine if you don't move. Go to sleep. I'll wake you up if anything happens."

Leaning against his chest, smelling the faint herbal scent on him, Cheng Jiuyuan slowly closed her eyes.

But because she was worried about his poison, she slept very uneasily.

From time to time, he woke up to check, then closed his eyes again.

Chu Heng held her in his arms, feeling at ease, as if the pain that was burning in his body was not so unbearable anymore.

He slowly lowered his head and placed a kiss on her hair, then closed his eyes and resisted the severe pain in his body.
