Su Changzhao's heart was filled with alarm.

[Li Xing's martial arts skills are not bad, but there is no guarantee that he will be safe. The other three are stationed at key points inside and outside the palace tonight and cannot move rashly. It seems that I have to go there in person to feel at ease.]

When he heard that Su Changzhao was leaving, Yu Jiuchen also wanted to follow, but he knew that Su Changzhao was going to do important business, and he was the main person today and could not leave.

So when Su Chang asked for permission to leave, he had no choice but to agree.

As soon as Su Changzhao left, Tang Jinyue suddenly lost interest in everything and left, saying that he was worried about his younger sister.

·

After Su Changzhao left the birthday banquet, he looked for the marks left by Li Xing nearby.

This is their custom.

Once in danger, they can find each other through the marks.

This was also the reason why she and Yu Jiuchen were stranded outside and were eventually found by Li Xing and others.

now.

Su Changzhao followed the marks left by Li Xing and headed west.

When he saw the surrounding temples, he asked, "Is this... the way to West Third House?"

The three western buildings are the former residence of Empress Dowager Yao, the Ruixiang Palace.

What is different from other places is that Ruixiang Hall is very large. It is the largest palace in the harem except for Ninghe Palace where the queen lives.

It is divided into three parts, east and west, where the princes and princesses grew up in the past.

Including Yu Jiuchen also lived there when he was a child.

But the West Three Houses are where princesses and princesses live.

In recent years, the political situation has been turbulent and most of the royal family members have died. The place has been vacant for many years and no one has paid attention to it.

Even colder than the cold palace.

Why did Li Xing go there?

While thinking.

She has already arrived at the West Third Institute.

Push open the mottled door.

Looking at the desolate garden full of weeds, Su Changzhao was wondering if he had been tricked by someone.

Because anywhere I look, there doesn’t seem to be any human being.

Just at this moment.

Suddenly she heard some rustling noises.

Anyone?

She looked for movement and parted a patch of long grass.

I saw a man lying on the ground with his limbs tied and his mouth gagged.

Following the moonlight, Su Changzhao took a closer look and immediately squatted down.

"Liu Li? Why are you here?"

While speaking, he untied the rope that bound Liu Li's mouth.

“Um… um…” Liu Li suddenly widened her eyes and twisted her body desperately.

Su Changzhao saw clearly that he was looking behind him and immediately realized that there was someone behind him.

The moment he turned around, the folding fan in his hand instantly opened and swung towards the other party.

With a "puchi" sound, a man in black holding a long sword fell to the ground instantly.

However, before the man in black died, he sprinkled a handful of ash on her face.

Su Changzhao was unable to dodge and his eyes were accidentally stained.

At this time, Liu Li behind her had already shaken off the rope on his mouth, and he was able to speak again, and immediately shouted.

"My Lord, are you all right?"

Su Changzhao only felt his eyes were extremely dry and he could not see anything.

"It's okay, I just got some lime in my eyes."

Liu Li: "Lime? You can't rub it! Sir, please untie the ropes on my body first, and I will take you to find oil to wash my eyes."

If lime gets into your eyes, you cannot use water as it will only burn your eyes. At this time, you can only use oil.

Su Changzhao nodded, turned around and untied the rope for him.

But when he was explaining it, Su Changzhao asked, "You haven't told me how you got here."

"I don't know. I was staying in the mansion. I knew that the master might be busy until very late tonight, so I went to bed early. Suddenly, several masked men came into the room, tied me up and took me away.

I originally thought these people were so bold as to kidnap and sell me, but I never expected that they would just leave me here and go away.

It's so dark here, I'm so scared~

Fortunately, you came to save me, otherwise… otherwise I don’t know what to do, wuwuwuwu…”

"..." Su Changzhao really wanted to say, I'm not here to save you, but when he heard a grown man crying while talking, he swallowed the words back.

"Do you know where this place is?" Su Changzhao asked again tentatively.

"I... I don't know this place. At first I saw the weeds and didn't think anything of it. But now it seems that although this place is desolate, the buildings are magnificent. Could it be in the palace?"

From the sound, Liu Li seemed to have stopped crying and looked around before speaking.

Su Changzhao listened to his story and found it to be flawless, so he half believed him.

"That's right. This is West Third House, where the Empress Dowager lived in the past."

"Ah? Where the Queen Mother lives?" Liu Li began to look around again, "Why is it so desolate?"

"Don't talk about this anymore. Take me to find the oil first. We can't stay here for long. Those who want to assassinate me may come again soon."

Upon hearing that there were more assassins coming, Liu Li quickly helped Su Changzhao away.

How could he, a weak man who couldn't take care of himself, be a match for the killer?

Su Changzhao noticed that Liu Li's hand was shaking, and knowing that he was afraid, he patted the back of his hand to comfort him.

"Don't be afraid. Even if I'm blind, I can still protect you."

Taking the opportunity, Su Changzhao also touched Liu Li's wrist and found that his pulse was weak and there was no power in his body. Immediately, he became less wary of him.

It seems I was overthinking it.

Walked for a while.

"Hasn't it arrived yet?"

Although Su Changzhao couldn't see, he knew every corner and crevices of the palace very well.

According to the route she pointed out, they should have already left West Third Institute.

The only places where oil could be found were the small kitchen and the imperial kitchen.

The attack on Su Changzhao could be a big deal or a small one.

So she planned to let Liu Li take her token and get the oil.

She just had to wait in a side hall.

"We're here." Liu Li's surprised voice sounded beside my ears, "Master, please be careful of the doorstep...Master, please sit here first. I will go and get the oil."

Liu Li helped him all the way to sit down beside the bed.

Su Changzhao touched the silky quilt and nodded: "Well, go quickly and come back soon."

"good."

Liu Li's footsteps quickly disappeared outside the door.

Su Changzhao waited in the room for a while.

At some point, a hint of floral scent wafted into the air.

Are there flowers in this room?

Fortunately, they are just ordinary flowers.

She knew some poisons were spread by smell, but not this smell.

But the wait didn't last long.

She clearly felt a heat rising in her body and her limbs became increasingly weak.

"What's going on? Why do you feel like you've been poisoned?"

My breathing started to become uncontrollable.

At this time.

With a squeak.

The door was pushed open.

Someone walked in.

Su Changzhao couldn't see, but she recognized the other person by hearing his footsteps.

"Liu Li, is... is it you?" Still panting.

Who knew that the next second, I felt a weight on my shoulders.

She was pushed to the ground by the other party.

Due to weakness in his limbs, Su Changzhao failed to stand up even after trying several times.

Only Liu Li's voice was heard beside the bed.

"I'm sorry, sir."

"What...what do you want to do?"

"If possible, Liu Li doesn't want to do this either."

"You...you..." Huha~ (panting) Su Changzhao secretly gathered his energy in his dantian, preparing to use his powerful skills to force out the poison.

"It's useless for you to use your power. This medicine needs the powder you just got poisoned with and the fragrance of the water heart flower in this room to take effect. Moreover, the stronger the power, the faster and deeper the poisoning."

"You..." Su Changzhao grabbed the bed sheet: "You are Lu Xianzong's man!"

"Your Excellency is wise."

"Haha." Seeing him admit it so readily, Su Changzhao laughed: "You want to... kill me?"

"No," Liu Li almost blurted out, but her voice soon calmed down: "Liu Li received the order to serve the master."

Su Changzhao's pupils shrank when he heard this.

Do they know I’m a girl?

No, it's impossible! No one knows this secret!

It is impossible for Lu Xianzong to be so kind as to give a man to me.

so……

"What exactly is your purpose?"

Su Changzhao's voice was cold.

As he spoke, Liu Li had already taken off his outer coat.

"At this point, Liu Li will not hide it from you. Someone has already gone to report to His Majesty. I believe His Majesty will be here soon."

"!!" Su Changzhao was a little confused, but she reacted quickly.

Yu Jiuchen just announced his relationship with her some time ago.

Everyone in Longdu knew that she was having an affair with Yu Jiuchen.

So Lu Xianzong wanted to use this dirty method to alienate her and Yu Jiuchen?

"Haha, ridiculous." Su Changzhao laughed immediately: "Do you really think that an emperor would fall in love with a eunuch like me? Hahahaha... Too ridiculous, hahahaha..."

Liu Li looked at the beautiful person who was laughing and was indifferent. He said with a slightly apologetic tone:

"It is really admirable that you have been able to hold on until now. Liu Li advises you not to resist. Liu Li will definitely serve you wholeheartedly. This is the first and last time..."
