Chapter 250: Little Girl, Are You Trying to Force My Hand?
Sister wiped sweat until she was exhausted.Upon hearing this, a certain woman stroked her chin and pondered seriously for a moment before opening her mouth to say, “At least ten thousand taels!”Upon..."Little girl, how is Black Heart Night doing" Glancing at her unsightly face, Shangguan Jinghong vaguely guessed a few things. For some reason, an unprecedented fear and heartache arose in his heart, something he had never experienced before.
Su Qingying's voice trembled slightly, "The situation is very bad, the toxins in his body have started to rampage. With my current internal strength, I can't suppress it at all. We have to hurry to the Prince Regent's Mansion."
"Alright, then we'll rush to the Duke of State's residence tonight!" They had already entered the borders of Beiling Kingdom. It would only take a day's journey to reach the Duke of State's residence.
After a day and night of travel, Su Qingying and the others finally arrived safely at Jun Liye's Prince Regent's Mansion.
"Little girl, how is the toxin in your body from last night" It was too much to bear for Su Qingying to be disturbed while she treated Jun Liye with acupuncture. She didn't stop until she removed the last silver needle from him, only then did Shangguan Jinghong dare to speak up and ask.
“No, Ari’s toxins become increasingly difficult to control with each outburst. Zhao Ruoqing’s heart-controlling Gu last time managed to suppress them, but I can’t do that again this time. I absolutely have to find the antidote to the toxins in his body!” Su Qingying put away her silver needles, her heart heavy.
The father emperor is gone, Xi'er is gone, and the child she hadn't yet given birth to is also gone. If even Ari were to leave her, she truly couldn't imagine what she would become.
Maybe she'll go mad, maybe she'll lose the courage to live on...
"Master, is there really no other way" Xuen Yuan Rong Fei asked.
"No, I can only barely suppress it now. Time is short, and once it erupts again, even a great celestial being would be powerless to help." Su Qingying shook her head wearily, that feeling of helplessness was truly frustrating for her.
"Shangguan Sai Bao, you and Ari are like brothers. You must know who poisoned him. Tell me, this is the last hope to save him." Su Qingying seemed to have grasped the last straw, her eyes blazing with a desperate plea.
Hearing this, Shangguan Jinghong's eyes flickered slightly. Facing her gaze, he couldn't bring himself to lie to her. He turned his head slightly and whispered, "It... it was my father."
"It's him again!" As soon as these words left her mouth, Su Qingying couldn't help but clench her fists, a raging fire of anger burning in her heart.
For the first time, she felt such a strong desire to kill someone!
This Bei Ling Huang is really tiredlessly challenging her bottom line!
Since he was tired of living and wanted to die, she didn't mind helping him out and sending him to hell with her own hands!
However, there was one thing he had to make sure of first!
"Shangguan Sai Bao, let me ask you, were the people who ambushed us that day from the Northern Palace His target was Ari, wasn't it" Su Qingying didn't miss any subtle expression on his face, she calmly observed his every move.
Not daring to underestimate her intelligence and sharpness, upon hearing her words, Shangguan was immediately aware that she had long known the truth. He couldn't help but chuckle wryly, "Little girl, you're so smart, you probably already have the answer in your heart. Why bother asking me again"
"Including this assassination as well" Her gaze turned cold, Su Qingying continued to ask.
"Hmm." She had already guessed that even if he tried to hide it now, it would be futile. He couldn't fool her.
“Very well!” Su Qingying laughed angrily, her smile spreading to her eyes, reflecting a chillingly fierce killing intent that made people shudder. “A-Li’s poison, Xi’er’s death, and the loss of my child… old grudges and new hatreds! I will never let him off easily, Shangguan Jinghong. I won’t spare him just because you are my friend!”
"I know, none of you will help me, after all, even if he's not a good father, he is still my biological father." Caught in the middle, Shangguan Jinghong's pain was no less than hers. Being able to do this was already his biggest concession.
Upon hearing this, Su Qingying's expression softened slightly. The look in her eyes toward him no longer held the chill and hostility of before. After a moment, she asked, "Do you know where he hid the antidote for Arli"
“This method, Blackheart Night and I tried it a long time ago, it didn't work.” Shangguan Jinghong shook his head and smiled wryly. “Don't look at me, although I was named the crown prince by my father, in fact, my father doesn't really like me. Since I was young, my father's eyes have always looked at me coldly, and sometimes I even feel a hint of disgust in his gaze, so I envy that fellow Tianyu.”
He believed that his father definitely had an antidote for Jun Li's night poison, but he had never given him the slightest bit of trust. Besides himself, no one knew where the antidote was.
It's laughable, really. They are father and son, yet they act more like enemies.
"Jing Hong, now that you have me, I will never leave you!" Xuan Yuan Rong Fei's heart ached at his distraction, and she moved with emotion to rush into his embrace.
Her acquaintance with Shangguan Jinghong had always been of a casual and unrestrained nature; she never expected him to have such an unknown side.
"Mm." The gloom in his eyes faded a little. Shangguan Jinghong reached out to embrace her slender waist, and the icy chill in his heart gradually warmed under her touch.
Anyway, heaven finally treated him kindly and gave him a wife to love and spend his life with.
"Since that's the case, Shangguan, can you take me into Bei Ling Imperial Palace The poison was ordered by the Emperor of Bei Ling, so the antidote must be on him." Jun Liye's poison was imminent, Su Qingying wouldn't give up no matter what.
Since she didn't know where the antidote was hidden, she would turn the entire Beiling Imperial Palace upside down! She wouldn't believe that she still couldn't find the antidote!
"No! Bei Ling is not like other countries, it's too dangerous. I can't watch you take such a risk!" The moment she spoke, Shangguan Jing Hong immediately and without hesitation refused.
His father emperor was naturally suspicious and vigilant. He had elite guards surrounding him, not to mention that he was extremely strict with palace inspections. Even as the Crown Prince, if he wanted to bring her in, he would have to put in a lot of effort, and it would definitely arouse his suspicion.
"For Ali, I'll go even if it's dangerous!" Su Qingying's eyes blazed with determination, radiating an undeniable aura of power. "If you won't take me, then I'll just go myself."
"Little girl, you're pushing me to my limits." Shangguan Jinghong said solemnly.
Her gaze fell on Jun Liye's incomparably beautiful face, Su Qingying couldn't help reaching out to gently trace his features. The phoenix eyes, deep and soft, glittered with a startling resolve and fearlessness, "I didn't force you. If Ari is gone, I wouldn't have any reason to live either. I said I would be with him for eternity. Since we can't grow old together in life, then becoming ghost husband and wife in the underworld isn't bad either."
"You've really got me there, I can't just leave you behind, can I" She had put it so plainly, how could he possibly refuse He dared not!
Looking at the helpless Shangguan Jinghong, Su Qingying nodded slightly and smiled faintly, as if she had let out a breath. "This is about right, Rong Fei, I entrust Ah Li to you. Before I come back, be sure to keep an eye on him."
After making up her mind, she got to her feet. She considered that the Ancient Moon Lute was too large and conspicuous to carry easily. After much deliberation, Su Qingying decided to leave it at the Regent Prince's Mansion, taking only some small weapons for self-defense.
"Well, rest assured, Master. I will never let anyone hurt my master. If they want to harm him, they'll have to go over my dead body!" In order to ease her worries, Xuan Yuan Rong Fei patted her chest and vowed solemnly.
"Alright, then we're leaving." After changing into their nightwear, Su Qingying and Shangguan Jinghong wasted no time and immediately set off for the Bei Ling Imperial Palace.
After all, the longer it drags on, the more danger Jun Liye is in!e emperor and Emperor Dongyue, she wouldn't have enough heads to chop off. Who knows, they might even raze her entire family!"East Mountain's Fifth Princess, be careful with your words. Please choose...
