Chapter 2049 [Shangxie]
She picked up the teacup on the table and looked at the shimmering water.
"You probably don't know, but when I was at Tianji Sect, I was pretty familiar with all the poisons in the world. Even though this is probably something new that Zhan Luoying has researched, I can still smell something wrong."
"I originally wondered if you were being threatened or framed, but this cup of tea tells me that you were proactive, even impatient."
She raised her hand, and the water in the teacup splashed out in a glowing arc, and some tea splashed into Fu Yan's sleeves and shoes.
She seemed to be frightened in an instant and sat down on the carpet, overwhelmed.

At this moment, the door of Zichen Hall was suddenly pushed open.
The lights and moonlight from outside the window shone in together. The palace maid who was sitting on the ground turned around hastily and saw the emperor in a red robe standing at the door.
His long black hair was untied, and the night made it look as beautiful and cold as silk.
The man's face was facing away from the light, with half of it sunk in shadow, revealing his deep and delicate features. In his hand was a pitch-black sword, and he looked like a ghost lurking in the darkness, cold and bewitching.
Fu Yan could hardly suppress the desire and emotion in her eyes, but the person in her sight only glanced at her lightly at first, and then his eyes were firmly fixed behind her, cold but revealing a contradictory focus.
The emotion in the palace maid's eyes gradually cooled. She slowly turned around and saw Xia Fuyi standing upright in her sight, with an expressionless face but looking directly at the man at the door.
It's always like this. As long as they are in the same room and the same scene, everyone else will disappear. It seems like the world only has them and no one else can squeeze in.
"What's going on?"
Chang Sun Chi asked the question first. He stepped into the hall with a sword in his hand. The corner of his red robe brushed against the intricate and gorgeous carpet, staining it with some wet tea, making the color even more brilliant.
He glanced at the palace maid on the ground, raised his head and looked at Xia Fuyi.
"The servants didn't serve well?"
Fu Yan's whole body stiffened, and then she began to tremble slightly.
Xia Fuyi looked at her coldly, then slowly clenched her wet fingers.
"Nothing, I broke the teapot myself."
Then she said to Fu Yan,
"Go down."
Fu Yan immediately stood up and retreated to the door in panic.
Only when she passed by Changsun Chi, she couldn't help but raise her eyes slightly, but happened to meet an inorganic cold gaze, the undisguised malice in which made her freeze, and she stumbled and almost fell.
The door closed behind him, and Chang Sun Chi walked towards Xia Fuyi.
"Why are you running out here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"
"Tea."
Xia Fuyi looked him up and down calmly, and finally fixed her eyes on the sword in his hand.
"What...have you been doing?"
Chang Sun Chi smiled faintly.
"Didn't you say you came with me to Yan Gui to protect me? But now my poison has been cured, and all my martial arts skills have been restored. I don't need your protection anymore."
Xia Fuyi was slightly startled, a hint of joy appeared in her eyes, but soon turned gloomy. After a while, she asked hesitantly,
"Just now, that white light outside the palace, was it your sword light?"
Changsun Chi nodded.
Xia Fuyi fell silent.
The two of them stared at each other in the hall with flickering lights. After a long while, Xia Fuyi picked up the Dragon Abyss that she had just placed on the table and said with lowered eyes,
"Then have a fight with me. If you can beat me, I won't go with you."
