Fragrance Hall
"Miss Liu, His Highness invites you."
Su Man stood up calmly, "Where is His Highness?"
"The Hall of Mental Cultivation."
“…”
Just as Xu Yuan said, the Yangxin Palace was heavily guarded both inside and outside.
Su Man looked up at the sky. The sun was high in the sky and it was almost noon.
At the Taoist temple, she had informed Liu Ma that she should pour boy's urine into the well when the Yang energy was at its peak today to break the Yin energy there.
Until then...
"Crash, crash."
The sound of chains dragging on the ground attracted Su Man's attention. Turning around, she saw Qiu Niang.
Qiu Niang's ankles were shackled and she was wearing prisoner clothes. Her pale face was almost transparent in the sunlight.
The moment she approached Suman, she couldn't stand and almost fell.
Su Man supported her and asked, "Are you okay?"
Qiu Niang shook her head, and Su Man lowered her voice and said, "Don't worry, I have thought of a way."
After hearing Su Man's words, Qiu Niang's expression did not become relaxed, but became more solemn.
At the same time, the palace door opened and Eunuch Hong came out. "Ladies, please come in."
...
The Yangxin Palace, usually packed with palace servants, was now completely deserted. They walked straight into the emperor's bedroom, as if entering a deserted area.
After Eunuch Hong brought them there, he left.
Behind the bed curtains, a bright yellow figure was lying there.
Su Man hurried forward, "Your Majesty?"
At this moment, the emperor's face was pale, like a dead tree, and he was breathing out more than he was breathing in.
Su Man blocked her view with her body and quietly held the pill in her hand.
"Your Majesty? Your Majesty, please wake up."
Behind him, Qiu Niang slowly approached, "What are you doing?"
Su Man was alert in her heart, and she covered it up by saying, "I just wanted to see how the emperor was doing."
“…”
Their eyes met in silence, and Su Man realized something.
Before she had time to think about it, Qiu Niang's hand grabbed her neck.
When Su Man was trying to break free, someone behind her grabbed her hands.
A deep voice sounded behind her, "Be obedient and don't move."
It’s Qi Xing.
Qiu Niang still showed mercy, and Su Man was still able to speak, but her voice became hoarse due to the confinement of her neck.
"what you up to."
Qi Xing didn't answer. He looked at Qiu Niang and said coldly, "What are you waiting for?"
Qiu Niang's eyes flashed with pity, "I'm sorry for making you my scapegoat."
Su Man was puzzled.
A scapegoat? Qiu Niang turned into a ghost because of her special fate. How can she be a scapegoat?
Perhaps because his wish was about to be fulfilled, Qi Xing was in the mood to explain to her, "Your birthday is a Yin year and Yin month, but not a Yin day. In fact, the day you were born was a Yin day, but everyone in the Liu Mansion felt it was unlucky, so they postponed it for a day."
Qi Xing grabbed Su Man's wrist tightly, making her lean against his chest. "Otherwise, how could you and Liu Luoyi be switched? If I hadn't set up the formation in Wuyou Village, disrupting the yin and yang of the capital, and if you hadn't been a rare yin life, do you think Qiu Niang had such great ability?"
“…”
So that's how it is. Qiu Niang was just taking advantage of Qi Xing's favor. What was Qi Xing's real purpose...
Su Man turned her gaze to the sick emperor, and a terrible thought emerged in her mind.
"You don't want to switch with the emperor, do you?"
A flash of surprise crossed Qi Xing's face. He looked at Su Man with interest, "I didn't expect Miss Liu to be so smart."
Although she guessed correctly, Su Man was not happy at all. She tried to test him, "You can obviously inherit the throne, why don't you just become the emperor?"
"It's hard to defy God's will."
Qi Xing seemed to sigh, but he didn't say anything more. He said casually, "It's just a shell. There's nothing for me to miss. Anyway, if I want, I can become the emperor in anyone's identity."
Suman is shocked by his words.
It seems that his ambition goes far beyond being the emperor for just one lifetime; he wants to occupy the throne forever.
He could pretend to pass on the throne first, and then replace the crown prince with someone else. In this way, he would be blessed with great fortune.
Su Man suppressed the shock in her heart and pretended to be calm, "Then what do you want me to do?"
"The Emperor is the most yang, so he naturally needs a body of the most yin as a sacrifice."
After saying that, Qi Xing looked at Qiu Niang and said, "It's time for you to take action."
There was a flash of struggle in Qiu Niang's eyes. She closed her eyes slightly, and when she opened them again, as if she had made up her mind, she opened her five fingers and clasped them on Su Man's crown.
The next second, the biting cold, like needles, stimulated Su Man's brain again and again.
Her eyelids felt heavy and her head tilted back uncontrollably. Before she fell, Qi Xing caught her and put his big hands on her shoulders.
Although Su Man's body was unconscious, she could still hear the conversation between Qiu Niang and Qi Xing.
"I have done what you asked me to do. Let Qi Yi go." This was Qiu Niang's voice.
"Don't worry. Although you have transferred most of your Yin energy to her, the real Yin is your soul."
"What are you talking about...uh..."
Su Man heard Qiu Niang's painful groan and guessed that Qi Xing must have done something.
"brute."
Qiu Niang gritted her teeth and cursed.
"This ring is made of your skull. As long as I have it, you will never be able to escape my control."
“…”
Su Man understood. No wonder Qiu Niang had always wanted to get this ring.
As Qiu Niang's screams became more and more shrill, Su Man also became anxious.
