"Didn't I know she was the emperor then? I'll be more careful next time."
Seeing Si Chengfeng looking at her with an expression of relief that she had escaped death, Hua Qingcheng's lips twitched slightly. One thought could lead to heaven, another to hell. She wasn't stupid, so she naturally understood what this ancient emperor meant. But since the other party was just being kind and concerned about her, she would just accept it.
"By the way, Chengfeng, do you know why Shan Zuo wanted to assassinate the emperor?" When mentioning the emperor, Hua Qingcheng thought of Shan Zuo who had just wanted to kill the emperor.
"This is a long story, and it's related to my uncle, whom I've never met. Shan Zuo's mother, Shan Wushuang, was the former Minister of the Imperial Household. Two years ago, Shan Wushuang accidentally discovered that there was something fishy about her uncle's fall from a cliff. To find out the truth about her uncle's fall, she wrote a memorial to the Emperor and went to the palace to present it overnight."
"However, things did not go as planned. Not only did the memorial not reach the emperor, but the next day, Shan Wushuang was falsely accused of accepting bribes and sentenced to exile to the frontier for dereliction of duty. He died on the way there. His entire family was reduced to slavery. Shan Zuo's father also died of grief, leaving behind the two brothers."
"So it's because of Feng Lingyan. No wonder you suddenly changed your attitude towards the Shan Zuo brothers and urged me to keep them." Hua Qingcheng nodded in understanding.
"But he regards the emperor as his enemy and just now he wanted to kill the emperor. He almost caused you to lose your life. Don't you plan to hold him accountable?" Si Chengfeng narrowed his eyes dangerously, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.
"Chengfeng, I'm fine." Hua Qingcheng took out a white porcelain bottle from her arms, poured out a brown pill from it, and put it directly into her mouth and swallowed it.
"Qingcheng, what are you doing..." Si Chengfeng looked at Hua Qingcheng with a questioning look. When he undressed her just now, she clearly didn't have this thing in her arms...
"This is the Qi-boosting Pill that Sanlang gave me. It's a holy medicine for treating internal injuries, especially those caused by the internal energy of a martial arts master. It can even save your life at a critical moment."
Upon hearing this, Si Chengfeng looked at Hua Qingcheng curiously, and sure enough, he saw that her complexion was getting better at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it was even slightly rosy.
"Brother Han is indeed worthy of being the Young Master of Xuanyi Valley. With him protecting you, Qingcheng, you can rest assured."
"Of course. You're not bad either!"
Hua Qingcheng looked at Si Chengfeng with amusement, who was speaking with a sour tone and sarcasm, and then she stepped forward and kissed him on the lips.
"Let's go, Chengfeng. Let's go check on Shan Zuo and make sure he doesn't get killed by the emperor."
After Hua Qingcheng kissed Si Chengfeng, she got up from the bed and prepared to pull up Si Chengfeng, who was blushing and heartbeating because of her teasing, but the other party sat there and refused to get up.
"Qing...Qingcheng, my...my legs are numb. Shan Zuo is imprisoned in the east wing of Qingrong Courtyard. Go over there and check on him first. I'll be right back."
"Are you... okay?" Hua Qingcheng glanced at Si Chengfeng suspiciously.
"It's okay, I'll be fine after a while. You should hurry over, or Dan Zuo might get beheaded if you're any later."
"Okay, then Chengfeng, you take a break first."
After Hua Qingcheng finished her instructions, she walked out of the room and hurried to Qingrongyuan next door.
Looking at Hua Qingcheng's graceful and elegant back as she gradually walked away, Si Chengfeng finally breathed a sigh of relief. He lifted the hem of his shirt and looked at his pants, which were bulging like an open umbrella, and smiled bitterly.
She is a heartless woman who only lights fires but is not responsible for putting them out...
