Chapter 41 Cooperation



Does this mean that you are planning to give up Ye Shuyin as a chess piece?

I have to say that Xiao Zhaolin is indeed a cruel person.

Xiao Zhaolin's behavior made many people present couldn't help but admire him, thinking that he would not cover up for the person who made a mistake just because she liked him.

Xiao Shengxing watched this farce quietly, frowned slightly, and was about to say something.

Who knew that he suddenly froze, then suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood, and then fell to the ground uncontrollably.

Su Lijin, who was sitting next to Xiao Shengxing, reacted quickly. She reached out and pulled the person to her side, then spoke to Lu Bingqian who was standing beside her.

"Lu Bingqian! Come here quickly!"

Lu Bingqian was frightened by this scene at first, then he quickly agreed and ran to Xiao Shengxing's side.

After taking Xiao Shengxing's pulse, Lu Bingqian said solemnly, "Empress, Your Majesty, the Emperor has been poisoned!"

Su Lijin's eyes flashed with a strange look, and then she said seriously, "Find a way to research an antidote. We must hurry!"

Xiao Zhaolin, who was standing aside, set his eyes on Xiao Shengxing.

The imperial physician just said that he was poisoned. Could it be the same poison from last time?

However, it shouldn't have happened so soon, which was inconsistent with the time I had planned.

But no matter what, as long as he is poisoned, it means that his plan is half successful.

The imperial physicians who arrived later took Xiao Shengxing's pulse and reported his condition to the empress dowager.

When the Queen Mother heard the imperial physician's words, her expression changed, and she said angrily, "No matter what method you use, you must save the Emperor, otherwise I will let all of you be buried with him!"

Lu Bingqian knelt on the ground and quickly agreed, but there was still hesitation in his eyes.

"Empress Dowager, judging by the Emperor's pulse, he has been taking a long-term poison. Now that the poison has taken effect, detoxification is not an easy task. If there is the snow lotus on Tianxing Mountain, there may be a glimmer of hope."

"Alright, no matter what it is, as long as it can save the Emperor, go get it back for me! Send someone quickly!"

The Queen Mother was already panicking and was hurriedly giving random orders, but Xiao Zhaolin suddenly spoke.

"Empress Dowager, why don't you let me personally lead the team on this matter? It's a serious matter. If I ask someone else, I'm afraid it will delay the process. The Emperor's life is in danger, so I really should do something."

What Xiao Zhaolin said sounded nice, but Su Lijin knew what he meant.

If someone else really found the snow lotus, wouldn't Xiao Shengxing be saved?

Then Xiao Zhaolin's plan would fail. He certainly would not let such a thing happen easily, so it would be better for him to pick the snow lotus himself. At that time, even if he found an excuse on the way that the things were lost, no one would suspect anything.

At most, the people would only say that Xiao Zhaolin was incompetent, and that was all.

By that time, the emperor will no longer be able to survive, and Xiao Zhaolin will become the popular choice.

The day when he becomes the emperor is just around the corner.

Unfortunately, plans are just plans.

Xiao Zhaolin would probably never have thought in his lifetime that the biggest change in all his plans would be himself.

Thinking of this, Su Lijin pursed her lips and sneered.

The Queen Mother also felt that what Xiao Zhaolin said made sense, so she nodded and then reminded him worriedly: "The virtuous prince must be careful and nothing will happen to him."

Xiao Zhaolin glanced at Xiao Shengxing who had fainted, agreed, then turned around and left in a hurry.

In the eyes of others, he was indeed very worried about the emperor's health.

Only Su Lijin thought it was ridiculous.

The unconscious Xiao Shengxing was carried back to Taiji Palace.

Lu Bingqian stayed by his side, treating him and trying to delay the time as much as possible until Xiao Zhaolin returned.

At night, inside Kunning Palace.

Su Lijin tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, still feeling a little worried.

Although making Xiao Shengxing sick was part of the plan, his performance today was so unexpected that he now had some doubts about whether he was really sick.

If it is true, then Xuelian must pick it herself.

Thinking of this, Su Lijin simply didn't sleep. She changed her clothes, put on a veil, and left Kunning Palace.

Inside the Taiji Palace, Su Lijin slowly pushed open the side door in front of her and saw that there was no one there.

Only then did he slow down his pace and enter the hall.

She walked towards Xiao Shengxing's bed, wanting to carefully check whether the man was really poisoned.

But when she got there, she was surprised to find that there was no one on the bed.

Xiao Shengxing is missing!

When Su Lijin realized that something was wrong.

A pair of hands suddenly came towards Su Lijin from behind. She keenly sensed something, dodged Xiao Shengxing's attack by turning sideways, then took two steps back, looking at the man in front of her vigilantly.

Xiao Shengxing didn't give her any chance to breathe and attacked Su Lijin again.

All this happened too quickly, and Xiao Shengxing's attack was so swift, as if he had been prepared for it. For a moment, Su Lijin was at a loss.

Her legs suddenly went weak and she fell backwards.

Xiao Shengxing reached out and grabbed Su Lijin's wrist, then pinned her against the wall, his eyes coldly fixed on the face of the woman in front of him.

That veil is such an eyesore.

Just as he was about to raise his hand to take off her veil, Su Lijin took the initiative to control Xiao Shengxing's other hand. The two were evenly matched and neither could move.

Xiao Shengxing took the initiative to speak: "You were the one who gave me the note last time, right?"

Although it was a question, the tone was very affirmative.

Su Lijin didn't say anything, but looked at the man in front of her in silence.

The man chuckled. In fact, he had already figured out that the person wearing the veil was Su Lijin, but he still pretended to be ignorant and asked.

"Who are you?"

Su Lijin thought for a moment, then spoke tentatively to Xiao Shengxing.

"I came to you because I want to cooperate with you."

Su Lijin adjusted her tone as much as possible, not wanting Xiao Shengxing to notice.

But she didn't notice that there was a barely visible smile on Xiao Shengxing's face.

He pretended not to believe what Su Lijin said, frowning and speaking in a cold voice.

"Are you planning on tricking me? Do you think I'm so gullible?"

After saying this, Xiao Shengxing was about to call the guards outside.

Seeing that something was wrong, Su Lijin quickly reached out to cover Xiao Shengxing's mouth and stop his actions.

After all, the situation is urgent now, and Su Lijin has forgotten the difference in status.

The sudden closeness between the two allowed Su Lijin to clearly hear the strong heartbeat.
