Chapter 424 Naturally, it's about joining forces to deal with King Xiao.

"Your Highness, Your Highness's Consort, it's been so long! You two are still as loving as ever!"

The first thing Su Liluo and the others heard as they stepped through the door was Xiao Churen's slightly sour remark.

She frowned slightly, then smiled faintly and said, "Of course, the relationship between my husband and me is naturally not like that between the King of Chu and Su Wanshi."

Xiao Churen's expression changed slightly and darkened.

After a moment, as if remembering something, she chuckled softly, "That's right, the Crown Princess is much more charming than your cousin! Not only does she win the Crown Prince's favor, but I heard that after you went to the Northern Desert, the Regent's son is planning to marry you!"

I just don't know if you and that young master Gao have completed your wedding ceremony yet? Your Highness, I hope you won't mind.

"Oh? Did the King of Chu go to some dog pack and get bitten? How come he's learned to bark wildly like them now? My Crown Princess has always been by my side, she hasn't had the time you're talking about."

Before Su Lilu could get angry, Xiao Ye first sharply mocked Xiao Churen, then gave him a sharp look.

"Your Highness, how dare you insult me!"

Xiao Churen was so angry that veins bulged on his face. He was about to step forward and fight Xiao Ye when a kind voice suddenly rang out behind him.

"Your Highness, have you forgotten that we brought His Highness the Crown Prince here today to discuss important matters?"

"Yes, maternal grandfather, I acted impulsively."

Xiao Churen then turned around and met Old Master Liu's slightly warning gaze, and immediately changed his attitude.

Su Liluo and the others then began to notice the Chu family members standing behind Xiao Churen. They saw that, apart from an older old man named Liu, there were two middle-aged men and several young men and women.

They all looked at her and Xiao Ye with curiosity.

"Your Highness, our Liu family has prepared a simple banquet. Please take a seat here."

Old Master Liu waved to Xiao Ye with a dignified smile, inviting him in. His wrinkled eyes narrowed into slits, making him seem even more unfathomable.

Xiao Ye and the others didn't waste any more words and went straight inside.

Xiao Churen followed behind him. At this moment, a girl walked up to him and gently reminded him, "Cousin, you were too impatient just now. If you continue like this, no wonder you lost to the Crown Prince and Prince Xiao before. I dare not listen to you about what happened after that."

"Cousin, I was rash. I won't do it again next time. I'll be relying on you from now on."

Xiao Churen quickly apologized in a polite tone.

He realized he had acted too impulsively. When he saw Su Liluo and Xiao Ye walking in so intimately, he couldn't help but think that Su Liluo should have been his.

Now that Su Liluo is unharmed and deeply in love with Xiao Ye, while he himself has been harmed like this by them, he feels a surge of anger in his heart.

The Liu family's banquet was held in the back hall. In addition to the lavish banquet for the host, a separate banquet was also held in a side hall for the soldiers that Xiao Ye and his men had brought.

Of course, Xiao Ye wouldn't let his men eat it.

So, the soldiers that Xiao Ye brought waited outside, and only Xiao Ye and Su Liluo entered the banquet.

"Your Highness, you have come all the way from the Northern Desert. You must be very tired after such a long journey. We don't know if these dishes will suit your taste, but they are all the finest dishes from Youyun Prefecture."

Xiao Churen smiled politely.

"Since you don't know, then I won't eat. You invited me here, so you might as well speak frankly."

Xiao Ye didn't even glance at it, and said coldly.

Xiao Churen and the Liu family members paused, somewhat surprised that Xiao Ye would be so direct.

They had originally planned to build a good relationship with Xiao Ye before revealing their purpose, but they didn't expect him to be so direct.

"Your Highness, let's eat first and then talk about it. There's no rush."

Xiao Churen gave an awkward laugh.

But Xiao Ye and the others still showed no intention of eating, so Xiao Churen picked up another piece of fish with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

He laughed and said, "Are you afraid we'll poison you? If so, then I'll eat some to show you that these really aren't poisonous."

"What if you take the antidote beforehand? King of Chu, you should just state your purpose directly. We don't want to hide anything from you."

Su Liluo chuckled, interrupting Xiao Churen's actions.

Indeed, he did take the antidote beforehand.

Of course, he didn't put any deadly poison in the food; it was just ordinary muscle relaxant powder.

Their original plan was to get Xiao Ye to eat the food and then use him to threaten him, but they didn't expect that this first plan would end in failure.

So he had no choice but to give up, turn around and exchange a glance with Old Master Liu, and nod.

Then, he looked at Xiao Ye with a serious expression.

"Since that's the case, then I won't hide anything anymore. I did invite you here today for a reason. But you may have misunderstood. We don't want to harm you; we want to cooperate with you."

"What kind of cooperation?"

Su Liluo raised an eyebrow.

I never imagined that Xiao Churen would one day ask me to cooperate.

"Of course, it's about cooperating to deal with Prince Xiao. You may not know this yet, but during the time the Crown Prince went to the Northern Desert, Prince Xiao sent a divine physician to Father Emperor, thus putting Father Emperor under his control."

Now, Father no longer cares about state affairs; he's obsessed with the health regimen that the divine physician spoke of, believing it will grant him immortality.

"A miracle doctor? Where did he come from? We've never heard of him before."

Su Lilu asked a question.

For some reason, she had a vague feeling that this divine doctor was not simple, and might even have some connection with that Zi Xing.

"I don't know where this one is from, but this divine doctor is indeed very capable. Xiao Wang's concubine originally had her arm severed and her face disfigured, but this divine doctor not only restored her appearance, but also made her severed arm grow back."

Such medical skills are perhaps even beyond the Crown Princess's reach! It was precisely for this reason that Prince Xiao brought this divine physician before his father, the Emperor.

A severed arm can be regrown?

A hint of shock flashed across Su Liluo's eyes; this was indeed unprecedented.

Even the peerless medical book left to her by her mother didn't record this ability, so she really couldn't do it.

So, she couldn't help but use her consciousness to ask the space, "Can this severed arm really regenerate? Why is there no record of it in my medical books?"

"The regeneration of a severed arm is not a rebirth. To achieve regrowth, an abnormal method must be used, which comes at a terrible price. Therefore, this space does not recommend this treatment method, because it is an evil, demonic, and crooked path!"

"......"

"What exactly is the price?"

After a moment of stunned silence, Su Liluo still asked curiously.

"This involves using highly toxic substances to alter a person's constitution. While it can indeed cause a severed arm to regrow, once the arm is fully grown, the person will only live for three months."
