For some unknown reason, Xiao Tang tossed and turned and couldn't sleep!
That doesn't make sense.
She always sleeps in the bed of the main villain.
She's tossed and turned so many times now, but she's still not sleepy at all.
After who knows how many times I've gone to different places, there was a knock on the door.
Xiao Tang almost rolled off the jade bed.
"What is it?"
She helped herself up from the bed and slowly sat up.
"Your Highness, the people at Zuichunlou say that the Prince is drunk at the restaurant and they are insisting that you go and pick him up."
It was Yan Shi who said this.
Xiao Tang seriously doubted the veracity of this statement.
The main villain would yell at her to go pick him up? That's utterly illogical.
Yan Shi knocked on the door again. "Your Highness, after all, the Prince cannot lose face as the Regent. The Prince... he really does change when he's drunk."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door suddenly opened.
Xiao Tang walked out of the house, already dressed.
Perhaps it was because Xiao Tang had a very strong aura at the moment, Yan Shi secretly lowered his head.
"Your husband... cough, I mean, he's not a good drinker, is he?"
Yan Shi nodded stiffly.
The quality of this wine is not good; it cannot be simply described as "bad."
He spoke up weakly: "It's not just about his drinking habits. The prince... he kills people when he's drunk. He gets excited when he sees blood."
"Oh my god!" Xiao Tang exclaimed, covering her mouth.
The villain's drinking habits are truly appalling.
Without hesitation, she immediately returned to the house, ready to go to sleep.
"princess!"
Yan Shi reacted quickly and closed the door for her.
He clasped his hands together and said, "Don't be afraid. Although the prince may kill people when he's drunk, he will never do anything to you."
Xiao Tang's lips twitched twice.
She wanted to say to Yan Shi, "You're too naive."
Why do you think that Di Jingling will be the only one who won't kill her?
What's more, when one is drunk and under the influence of alcohol, they become completely oblivious to their own family and friends.
Yan Shi closed the door to her bedchamber and said earnestly, "Your Highness, things are not as bad as you think, and... Master Xuan Yi is also here."
She had intended to make Yan Shi faint with one needle so that she could go back and rest.
But because of the words "Master of Mystic Medicine", she changed her mind.
Let's go.
...
Zuichunlou.
At this hour, the restaurant was bustling with people.
In the private room, Mu Gucheng picked up his cup, took a sip, and said in a low voice, "The Regent's body has become severely poisoned in just a few months. It needs to be dealt with as soon as possible."
"Hmm..." The man opposite him remained calm.
If it weren't for the crimson color gradually appearing in his eyes, no one would have been able to tell that he was drunk.
This wasn't the first time Mu Gucheng had drunk with the Regent.
He always knew that this man... wasn't a very good drinker.
That's how he got the hang of it.
Just before leaving the house...
Xiao Rourou said to him, "Master, please do me a favor."
“I have no other thoughts in this life than… I want to get what I want. If Master is willing to help me with this, I am willing to… I am willing to agree to all of Master’s requests.”
These "all requirements" are very appealing.
Mu Gucheng's heart was greatly shaken.
His gaze lingered on Di Jingling's wine glass.
His eyes shimmered with an unpredictable light.
Although Di Jingling was drunk, he was not so drunk that he was unconscious and unable to distinguish right from wrong.
He raised the wine cup in his hand and asked slowly, "Is there a flower on this wine cup? Why is the master staring at it so intently?"
"Ahem! Not exactly." Mu Gucheng clenched his fist and covered his lips. "The thing is, I actually have a wonderful method to deal with the Regent's poison. I wonder if the Regent is willing to take the risk."
The man raised his handsome eyebrows slightly, revealing a lazy smile that was neither a smile nor a frown.
He became interested.
He nodded slowly: "Since the master has spoken so much, then of course we must listen. How exactly does this adventure unfold?"
Mu Gucheng almost doubted whether the man was really drunk.
How can someone be so sober as to ask these questions while drunk?
"I've heard my fellow disciple mention this method before. It combines two types of Gu poison to achieve the effect of curing Gu."
He deliberately spoke in a profound and mysterious way.
I thought that Di Jingling wouldn't understand what I was saying.
Unfortunately, he underestimated the regent's abilities.
"Hmm? Isn't this just the common saying of fighting poison with poison?"
These words successfully cut off Mu Gucheng's words.
Mu Gucheng was momentarily speechless, his smile freezing on his face. "That's roughly the idea. A woman will cultivate this poisonous gu using her body, and then the two of you..."
"No!"
The one who answered with those two words was not Di Jingling, but Xiao Tang.
Xiao Tang's clear voice easily cut through the noise outside.
Although it was the most luxurious private room, the noise from outside could still be faintly heard inside.
[You charlatan, you're just misleading people.]
Is this method saving lives or harming them?
No wonder the main villain died such a miserable death; you guys used him as a host for your venomous creatures.
[I'm afraid that by then, the main villain will have several types of poisonous insects gnawing at his body.]
Oh my god, this is triggering my trypophobia.
Upon hearing this, Di Jingling frowned deeply.
He looked at Xiao Tang.
Over there, the woman had already taken light steps and arrived at his side.
She put one hand on her hip and picked up the wine on the table with the other, then sniffed it.
It's confirmed that the alcohol is safe.
"The way Master Xuan said that makes it sound like it's none of his business."
She slammed the wine cup heavily on the table.
