"Poisoning?" In Kunning Palace, Sang Qian and Zheng Dan were somewhat bewildered, initially thinking they had misheard.
After all, in this heavily guarded palace, and especially in the Empress Dowager's quarters, it's hard to imagine that someone could be poisoned.
Zheng Dan, being a member of the martial arts world, was the first to react, his gaze falling on the rising sandalwood smoke in the corner.
When they came to Kunning Palace, they only drank some tea and ate some fruits; they did not eat anything else.
The tea was perfectly normal, and the fruits were the freshest available, so the poison was most likely somewhere else.
I had always thought this fragrance was quite refreshing. If someone were to poison someone, the most likely way would be to put it in this sandalwood incense, as the scent of sandalwood could mask the smell of poison.
"Someone come here!" Liu Ning shouted, but unfortunately no one answered her.
"Your Majesty, there's no need to call anymore. I've already dealt with the eunuchs and guards outside." A figure slowly walked in.
Zheng Dan and Sang Qian realized that the other person was dressed as an old eunuch, with an extremely gloomy temperament, like a vampire who had never seen the sun and hid in the shadows.
The two women had a sudden realization and instantly guessed each other's identities.
Formerly the Grand Chamberlain and Chief Eunuch Lü in the Empress Dowager's palace.
When the Empress Dowager fought against the leader of the Demonic Sect, she was ambushed by him and was seriously injured, which is why she escaped to the Sang family.
Sure enough, Liu Ning's voice rang out through gritted teeth: "Lü Qi, it was you!"
“That’s me,” Lu Qi said with a sinister smile. “How could I bear to leave Your Majesty?”
Liu Ning remained silent. She harbored deep hatred for Lü Qi and had been searching for him everywhere since returning, hoping to take revenge. However, she could not find any trace of him and could only issue a warrant for his arrest.
Who would have thought we would meet under these circumstances?
"What kind of poison did you give me?" Liu Ning asked, puzzled. She was, after all, a Grandmaster at the peak of her cultivation; ordinary poisons should have no effect on her.
"It's a flower from the demon world, quite useful to cultivators in our world," Eunuch Lü replied with a smile.
"You really have sided with the demons!" Liu Ning said hatefully. "But you clearly killed the demon who bewitched you that time, so why did you betray me?"
"I did kill it at first, but later, when the night was quiet, I suddenly felt that what the demon said made a lot of sense," Eunuch Lü smiled. "Rather than just silently watching you and the Regent being affectionate from the shadows, I felt it was better for me to experience Your Majesty's love firsthand. Then another demon came to persuade me, and it was only natural that we cooperated. It's also thanks to me killing that demon that time, otherwise you wouldn't have been so unguarded against me."
"Shameless!" Liu Ning was furious and tried to get up to attack him, but she swayed and couldn't muster the strength at all.
"Your Majesty, it's best not to use your vital energy. Otherwise, the poisoning will only worsen, and it won't be fun if you faint." Eunuch Lü admired Liu Ning's graceful figure from afar. "Ah, Your Majesty, you are so beautiful."
Liu Ning said in a deep voice, "Those two demon leaders have already died at the hands of the Regent. You could have escaped without anyone finding you, but now that you're back, you can't escape at all."
She needed to buy time, firstly to see if she could successfully force the poison out, and secondly to hope that the experts in the palace would notice the anomaly and come to her rescue.
“Run? Why should I run?” Eunuch Lu shrugged. “I saw how the Regent killed the Doomsday Wraith and the Plague Demon Lord today. I have to say the Regent is the most powerful man I’ve ever seen, even more powerful than Zhao Hao back then.”
"Just thinking about such a powerful man working on you is exciting enough."
Liu Ning: "..."
Sang Qian and Zheng Dan exchanged a glance, both noticing the strange look in each other's eyes. They had actually heard Liu Ning talk about Eunuch Lü before and knew that he had a twisted love in his heart, but they never expected it to be this twisted.
Liu Ning took a deep breath, suppressing her anger: "If that's the case, why did you betray us!"
“Because I am physically disabled,” Eunuch Lü suddenly became agitated. “Every time I can only watch the Regent enjoy himself on you, I can’t do anything. Although it’s quite exciting in a way, after the excitement comes endless emptiness.”
Sometimes I think, if I were a real man, and could truly make love with you, would I be happier to see you conquered by another man afterward?
Liu Ning: "???"
"abnormal!"
Sang Qian and Zheng Dan also secretly spat, their faces turning red. Do people in the palace play such elaborate games?
They initially thought Zuan was too lecherous, but now it seems that Zuan is the most normal one. These perverts are truly fucking perverts!
Eunuch Lü looked down at his bulging trousers, his expression twisted: "Ning'er, with the help of the demons, I am now a real man, and I can finally live happily ever after with you!"
Liu Ning's eyes were filled with disgust: "Although the Lu Qi of the past was a bit cowardly and had some strange hobbies, he was my childhood friend. Now you are just a monster corrupted and transformed by demons, and you only make me feel disgusted."
"Say what you will, there's no turning back now." A fierce glint flashed across Eunuch Lü's face. "Today, I'm going to do the thing I've wanted to do most in my life."
As he walked toward Liu Ning, his gaze suddenly fell on Sang Qian and Zheng Dan beside him, and a look of amazement flashed in his eyes: "Your Majesty is indeed considerate of me, and has even found two such beautiful women to keep me company today."
"Don't be rude to them!" Liu Ning suddenly moved, unleashing a powerful palm strike.
Bang!
