When Shen Tingsi woke up, he found a man in a black cloak sitting in front of him.
He immediately realized that he was being kidnapped, but he didn't show any panic. He just tried to look at the man opposite him calmly.
When he saw the man's face clearly, he frowned.
The man's face was as pale as a paper figure, and his eyebrows and facial features looked like a few light strokes drawn on paper.
There is a word called "withered and haggard", which is the most appropriate to describe this guy.
As if realizing that he had woken up, the man slowly opened his eyes, revealing a pair of eyes that emitted an ominous green light in the dark room.
The moment his eyes met the man's, Shen Tingsi got goosebumps all over his body.
These eyes gave him an extremely weird feeling. Rather than being human eyes, they were more like two balls of ghost fire from a mass grave directly embedded in the other's sunken eye sockets.
"Ninth Prince, you are awake."
The man stretched the corners of his dry mouth and smiled at Shen Tingsi, "You have come from a long way. You must be thirsty after all this journey. Have some water."
After saying that, he snapped his fingers.
A maid with a blank expression carried a porcelain bowl and slowly walked in front of Shen Tingsi, "Please have some soup."
After Shen Tingsi saw what was in the bowl, he almost vomited.
He said angrily, "Since you recognized me as the Ninth Prince, how dare you give me this drink?"
The bowl was filled with a strong smell of blood, and something was surging inside, which made him so disgusted that he didn't dare to take a closer look.
The man smiled and said, "Your Highness, you have misunderstood. This bowl of Black Dog Five Poison Soup is a fine product. I would not even give it to ordinary guests. Only someone of your status is worthy of a drink of this delicacy."
Shen Tingsi sneered, "Who are you?"
The man blinked slowly. "Your Highness, you've already guessed my identity, so why bother testing me? I've even dared to reveal my true identity before Your Highness. Could I be the kind of person who wouldn't even dare to introduce myself?"
Shen Tingsi lowered his voice, "It's really you, Mr. Xuan from Tianming Pavilion."
"I have met the Ninth Prince. Haha, but I have seen him in his true form. The Prince is now trapped in the body of a little girl, unable to escape. Fate is truly fickle."
Mr. Xuan chuckled strangely.
When he laughed, not only was his voice unusually hoarse and unpleasant, but even his originally smooth facial features became distorted.
Seeing a living person with his nose, eyes and mouth dislocated in front of him, Shen Tingsi felt a little scared.
But only a little bit.
He was so miserable that he had to exchange bodies with a woman, and from being a prince above everyone else, he became a weak and oppressed woman. Such a ridiculous thing had happened to him. Now seeing this drama, he just laughed mockingly:
"Xuan, what on earth do you intend to do by bringing me here?"
Mr. Xuan suddenly stopped smiling and moved closer, his ghostly eyes looking at him darkly. "Ninth Prince, do you want to return to your body?"
Shen Tingsi did not answer.
Of course he wanted to go back, he even dreamed of going back.
But he would never cooperate with the evildoers of Tianming Pavilion and do anything to betray the Dasheng Dynasty.
"The fact that you and Jiang Xiancao swapped bodies wasn't an accident at all. It was planned from the beginning. The person who instigated this farce was your uncle, His Royal Highness Prince Zhan."
Mr. Xuan whispered:
"He did this just to sit on the throne. With Jiang Xiancao in your body, he can carry out his conspiracy to seize power and usurp the throne even faster. Your father is in imminent danger, while you are still in the backyard of the Wen Ning Marquis's mansion, being bullied and harassed by those ignorant women.
Are you willing?"
Shen Tingsi looked at Mr. Xuan coldly, "It's extremely suspicious for you, the master of Tianming Pavilion, to say these words about planning for Dasheng."
"Ninth Prince, you are not accepting my toast and you will be punished."
Mr. Xuan sighed softly and ordered the maid, "Help the Ninth Prince drink this bowl of Black Dog Five Poison Soup clean. Don't leave a single drop."
Shen Tingsi frowned, and when the maid reached out to hold him down, he slapped her acupuncture points.
The maid didn't even try to dodge and was caught by him.
But this slap was like hitting an iron man. The maid didn't even blink and continued to move as usual, but his palm was numb.
"Ninth Prince, don't try to resist. With your current body, you are in my hands and can only be at my mercy."
Mr. Xuan smiled as he watched the maid force a whole bowl of disgusting soup down Shen Tingsi's throat.
Shen Tingsi coughed and struggled violently, almost choking to death.
The taste in his mouth was so disgusting that he wished he could die on the spot, but the maid's iron-like hands held his jaw tightly.
Only after he had drunk every drop did the maid let him go.
Shen Tingsi felt dizzy. He raised his eyes with great effort, wanting to ask Mr. Xuan what he had done to him, but he could not see anything clearly and could not make a sound.
"When you wake up again, you will be my obedient puppet."
As Mr. Xuan whispered softly and strangely, Shen Tingsi gradually lost consciousness.
…
Cining Palace.
Jiang Xiancao had been waiting in the side hall. During these few hours, the empress dowager woke up several times and became increasingly unconscious.
The imperial physician was afraid of upsetting the empress dowager and did not dare to let Jiang Xiancao see her.
This made Jiang Xiancao secretly relieved.
Everyone thought the Queen Mother was talking nonsense, but only she knew in her heart that she was not the Queen Mother's beloved ninth grandson.
