"No one else has been to the underground palace except you. Who else could it be but you? Hand over my poison generals now!"
Ye Beihan watched the two confront each other. Even though he liked Su Luo, he would not protect her.
"What is the Poison General? And what makes you think I stole it?"
Su Luo would certainly not admit that she stole the poisonous creatures from the underground palace, since no one had seen it anyway.
Seeing how anxious Shuang Shuo and Ye Beihan are now, it seems those poisonous creatures in the space cannot be left behind.
"Who else could it be but you? Don't force your master to use poison on you."
Su Luo just sneered. She was so tired. For Nangong Chiyu's sake, she now had to deal with these people from Beiliang.
“I told you it wasn’t me. If you don’t believe me, go check it yourselves. In Beiliang… where could I possibly hide your things?”
At this point, Su Luo coughed up a mouthful of blood, unsure whether it was from exhaustion or poisoning from the smell of those animals.
Ye Beihan caught Su Luo with lightning speed, but Su Luo was already extremely weak at this moment.
He still insisted, "It wasn't me..."
“Master, don’t believe her. She’s from Nanning.”
Ye Beihan glared at Shuang Shuo, telling him to shut up, and swallowed all the words he wanted to say.
"Owner!"
Shuang Shuo's eyes held an undisguised murderous intent towards Su Luo, but Su Luo's body couldn't withstand it, and she fainted.
After taking Su Luo's pulse, he took out two pills and gave them to her, then had her lie down on the bed.
Ye Beihan pondered, fiddling with the hem of his clothes, before leading Shuang Shuo and the others out.
"Master, trust me, don't be fooled by Su Luo."
Shuang Shuo thought Su Luo was a vixen who had bewitched his master. His master used to be decisive and didn't even respect the princess.
Why does he become a different person whenever he meets Su Luo? He hesitates and is not like himself at all.
"Of course I believe you. Su Luo has the scent of a horned lizard and an armored scorpion on her. Didn't you smell it just now?"
Shuang Shuo was so busy arguing with Su Luo that he didn't even notice her scent.
"Then, Master, you..."
Ye Beihan glanced at Shuang Shuo and walked ahead of him.
“She must have come into contact with those poisons, but she couldn’t have moved them so quickly. She came out with nothing on her, so those things must still be in the underground palace. Go and search carefully again.”
The underground palace was so vast that there were still some places they hadn't explored completely. Perhaps Su Luo had hidden those things somewhere.
"Yes, Master!"
Shuang Shuo replied unwillingly, his determination to kill Su Luo now even stronger.
"By the way, the other poison generals are gone, but what about the Shattered Corpse Silver Glass Silkworm?"
The Corpse-Shattering Silver Silkworm was cultivated by their master, and only Shuangshuo in the whole world can come into contact with it. Once poisoned by the Corpse-Shattering Silver Silkworm, one's whole body will become feverish.
After the body rotted, it looked like a burn, as if it had been dismembered. Shuang Shuo was poisoned by the Dismembered Silver Silkworm.
If it weren't for his master back then, Shuang Shuo wouldn't be alive today, and the Shattered Corpse Silver Silkworm wouldn't have treated him as one of its own kind and obeyed his commands.
"Don't worry, Master. Su Luo won't be able to find the Shattered Silver Glass Silkworm."
"That's good. I need some blood from the fragmented Silver Silkworm as a medicinal ingredient. Bring some to the palace to see me."
"yes!"
The next day!
Su Luo was awakened by Lian'er's cat-like voice. She couldn't come in, but she had to pay a lot of silver notes to have a few words with the princess.
Fortunately, the princess gave her several thousand taels of silver notes to use to build connections; otherwise, they would have trouble even communicating now.
"Lian'er, what's the situation in Beiliang right now?"
Lian'er cut to the chase, glancing at the two guards standing about ten feet behind the house, and whispered to Su Luo.
"The Seventh Prince of Northern Liang has become the Emperor of Northern Liang. The Regent has gone to the Imperial Palace. I heard he went there to refine some medicinal herbs for you, Princess Consort."
Furthermore, the Regent's Palace has received additional manpower. I've learned that they were sent by Shuang Shuo; their intentions are not good, so Your Highness must be careful.
Lian'er's young face showed no fear. Her main concern now was to stand shoulder to shoulder with the princess. She was mentally prepared to lose her life at any moment in this tiger's den.
"I understand. Lian'er, you must be careful outside. Don't appear in front of Ye Beihan unless necessary."
"Alright, I can't say any more. In short, Your Highness, please be careful. When the Regent really tries to drug you, I will definitely find a way to let you know."
Seeing that the two guards were coming over to take Lian'er away, she quickly changed the subject.
"Okay! I'll keep an eye on it."
...
Once Su Luo had recovered somewhat, she turned around and went back into the space. This time, she was smarter and put on a gas mask as soon as she entered.
Looking at the poisonous insects trapped in the cages, she shot them all dead with her gun, then poured the corpse-dissolving liquid all over them.
As she watched them all turn into clear water, and even the stench dissipate, she sneered inwardly.
“You things should never have existed in this world. It’s all over.”
Su Luo was imprisoned for five days in a row. Although she had no personal freedom, Ye Beihan did not mistreat her. Her meals were of the Regent's Palace standard every day.
But today is different. Today, the rice has been replaced with steamed buns. Su Luo was puzzled. As a native of Nanning, she didn't like steamed buns, and the people in the Regent's Palace must know this.
unless……
This is a hint from Lian'er to her; what might happen in a moment?
Su Luo opened each steamed bun and, sure enough, found a note tucked inside one of them, with crooked handwriting on it.
Ye Beihan has returned with poison; please be cautious.
After reading the note, Su Luo threw it into her spatial storage, took out the antidote pills she had prepared beforehand, and swallowed ten of them.
Last time, Ye Beihan said he would concoct a medicine for her to forget her past, to forget Nangong Chiyu, Yanchuan and Yihuan, and to forget everything from before.
To gain Ye Beihan's trust, she agreed, and now it seems he has actually succeeded in refining this medicine.
It's alright. Take an antidote pill and give yourself a shot of a special medicine. This medicine will prevent your body from absorbing any nutrients for a day, so naturally it won't be able to absorb the poison either.
No matter what, she would never forget her husband and children.
As expected, Ye Beihan opened her door after only a cup of tea.
He was also holding a bowl of red soup in his hand, which at first glance looked no different from plum juice.
"Su Luo, drink this bowl of soup."
Ye Beihan handed the medicine bowl to Su Luo. A strong smell of blood mixed with the smell of medicine wafted over, causing her to frown involuntarily.
"What kind of poison is this?"
Ye Beihan smiled and sat down opposite Su Luo.
"This is a medicinal soup that will help you forget your worries. You've drunk it."
Su Luo moved her chair back slightly, feigning fear.
"You're delusional. I won't forget the important people."
She reached out to knock over the bowl of medicine, but Ye Beihan was faster and had already snatched it away.
Although she had made thorough preparations, there was no guarantee that the poison would still have an effect on Ye Beihan.
"Su Luo, this is not up to you."
As he spoke, Ye Beihan directly pressed the Jianyu acupoints on both of her shoulders with his fingers, rendering her unable to move her hands.
He grabbed her chin with one hand and forced her to swallow the bowl of bloody medicine.
