Chapter 442 You must close your eyes and follow

After making the appointment with Zi Xing, Su Liluo returned to the Crown Prince's residence.

She immediately found Xiao Ye and told him everything that had happened that day.

He instructed him, "When I take that goddess physician away from Daliang, it will be the perfect time for you to treat your father. Once you remove the scent from Consort Zhang's body, without Zi Xing's acupuncture, your father will no longer favor her."

"Furthermore, I will give you some prepared potions. Find a way to trick Father into drinking them; this can counteract the poison Zi Xing gave him and restore his original constitution."

Although she did not personally see Emperor Wenjian take his pulse this time, she had seen descriptions of Emperor Wenjian's condition in the medical books left by her mother in the past few days.

In fact, it wasn't that Zi Xing's medical skills were particularly outstanding, but rather that she altered the Emperor's constitution by using acupuncture every day, numbing his nerves, and poisoning the needle tips to give him the illusion of being light and healthy.

As for the scent on Consort Zhang's body, it just so happens to match the scent that his body currently prefers, which is why he is infatuated with Consort Zhang's body.

Since it is poison, it is naturally harmful to the body. If Emperor Wenjian continues to receive acupuncture every day, combined with Consort Zhang's fragrance, he will suddenly die in bed after half a year.

“But I’m worried about you going to Xinglan alone.”

Xiao Ye looked worried.

He wished he could go with her, but the current situation clearly made it impossible.

"If you're worried, I'll have my brother and Yan'er accompany me, and we can also bring a few maids who know kung fu."

"Okay, then I'll pick a few more capable people for you."

Xiao Ye reluctantly agreed.

He knew that only if Luo'er tricked Zi Xing away would they have a chance to make the Emperor gradually come to his senses and bring down Consort Zhang and Prince Xiao.

On the other side.

Zi Xing also quickly expressed her desire to leave to Emperor Wenjian and Prince Xiao.

"Miracle doctor, this is the time when we're at our peak, how can you suddenly leave like this?"

King Xiao naturally refused to let Zi Xing leave.

"I can leave whenever I want; that's my freedom. I've already helped you a lot with the Emperor. Originally, the Emperor was supposed to die suddenly in three months, and then you could have ascended the throne."

But if you yourself lack the ability to eliminate the crown prince, then you can't blame me. I can't live like this forever.

"Zi Xing said ruthlessly."

From beginning to end, she was just using Prince Xiao. How dare he not let her leave?

"No! You absolutely cannot leave. You must help me keep Father Emperor on my side. He trusts you a lot now. As long as you help me ascend the throne, I will definitely let you leave!"

Xiao Churen reached out and stopped Zi Xing, who had finished packing her things and was about to leave.

"Get out of the way!"

Zi Xing shouted coldly, her gaze sharp.

Does King Xiao really think he can stop me with his meager abilities?

"Guards! Stop the divine physician! Do not allow her to leave the palace!"

Prince Xiao also refused to back down, summoning his palace guards to surround Zi Xing.

"Divine Physician, why are you doing this? Cooperate with me properly, and when I succeed, you can not only extricate yourself smoothly, but I will also reward you with wealth and honor!"

"Ha, you think too highly of yourself. I'll say it again, are you going to let me pass or not?"

Zi Xing sneered.

But King Xiao remained expressionless, showing no intention of making a move.

Zi Xing narrowed her eyes slightly, then suddenly took out a packet of powder from her body and threw it at Xiao Wang and the guards surrounding him.

In just a moment, after inhaling the powder through his mouth and nose, Xiao Wang collapsed to the ground, and his face began to turn bluish-purple.

"You... what kind of poison did you give me?"

King Xiao asked in a panic.

"Don't worry, this poison will only torment you for three days and three nights, and then it will naturally get better."

Zi Xing looked mocking and strode away from the Xiao Prince's residence after speaking.

Indeed, it's not a deadly poison, but it will leave you feeling weak all over for three days and three nights, as if you have a terminal illness.

The reason she didn't poison him was simply because she didn't want to cause herself trouble. After all, he was a prince, and if he died, Emperor Wenjian would definitely investigate him thoroughly.

Originally, she approached King Xiao with the intention of using his power to destroy Su Liluo's backer, Xiao Ye, and then capture Su Liluo herself to force her to hand over the relics of Lan Xing.

But she didn't expect that this Prince Xiao was just as useless as Prince Chu. Even though she had helped him to this extent, she still couldn't bring Xiao Ye down.

She could tell that now that Xiao Ye was back safe and sound, defeating him would be even more difficult.

As long as Xiao Ye is alive, it will be very difficult for her to take Su Liluo away from him.

So she changed her strategy and approached Su Liluo.

To her surprise, Su Liluo was fooled by her acting skills and actually believed what she said. Now that she could bring people back to Xinglan, wasn't this the most advantageous situation for her?

So why would she stay because of that idiot, King Xiao?

Zi Xing quickly met up with Su Liluo and the others at the city gate. When she saw that Su Liluo was accompanied by only a man and a woman, a smile flashed across Zi Xing's eyes.

If you only bring two people, it will be much easier to deal with them!

Unbeknownst to her, Su Liluo was secretly followed by seven or eight bodyguards, all of whom were top-tier experts under Xiao Ye, capable of concealing their presence.

The four of them set off together, riding horses for about six or seven days. Led by Zixing, they took a route they had never taken before and soon arrived at Xinglan.

Su Liluo had a good memory and secretly memorized the route along the way.

"Aunt Xing, have we arrived at Xinglan? Why don't we see anyone around here?"

Su Liluo and the others stopped in a dense forest, surrounded by ancient trees and babbling brooks. Apart from the chirping of birds and insects, and the sounds of nature such as water and wind, they could hardly hear any human voices.

No wonder outsiders don't know where Xinglan is.

"Okay, we're here. Just close your eyes and follow me."

Zi Xing nodded.

Why are you closing your eyes?

Su Liluo was surprised.

Does Zi Xing still doubt them?

"These are the rules of our sect. You are not members of our sect and are not allowed to enter. Therefore, you need to close your eyes."

Zi Xing offered a brief explanation.

With that explanation, Su Liluo and the others had no choice but to let Zixing tie strips of cloth around their eyes.

Then, following the direction Zi Xing pointed, they walked forward step by step.

Although Su Liluo's eyes were covered, her hearing was sharp. Along the way, the sound of water she heard grew louder and louder, and she felt colder and colder, as if she had entered the depths of a cave.

It's unclear how long they walked before Zi Xing finally told them to remove the strips of cloth.

"Master, you're back!"

The moment the cloth strip was removed, Su Liluo saw several young women kneeling before Zixing, calling her "Master."
