Chapter 228: Routine Fusang Gu, Fusang Appears

Prince's Mansion, Study.

Chu Lingxiu sat in the main seat, listening to the report of his confidant with a serious face-

The Thousand Poison Sect was wiped out. Although a small number of people escaped, their foundation for many years was gone.

After hearing this, Chu Lingxi's originally frowned brows became more twisted, and he was puzzled. Who could have uprooted the Thousand Poison Sect quietly?

Just then, there was a knock on the door: "Your Highness, the Crown Princess is here."

Chu Lingxiu waved his hand to let his confidant leave, and then said to the outside: "Let her in."

Not long after the voice fell, the door of the study was opened from the outside, and Jiang Li, dressed in a gorgeous palace dress, walked in from the outside. It seemed that she had just returned from the palace.

Chu Lingxiu motioned her to sit down. Jiang Li understood and walked to the chair in front of Chu Lingxiu and sat down. She first poured a cup of tea for Chu Lingxiu before saying, "Your Highness, Li'er has just entered the palace. My mother said that she has agreed with my father on the day of praying for blessings, which is the 20th of this month."

Chu Qingyi's princess mansion has been almost built. She only needs to choose an auspicious day and go to the temple to pray for blessings before she can officially move to the palace.

"You have been running around for this matter these days. Thank you for your hard work." Chu Lingxiu's eyebrows condensed into a smile, and his eyes were full of tenderness when he looked at Jiang Li.

With Jiang Li around, he can relax a lot of things.

Jiang Li smiled gently, "It is Li'er's blessing to be able to share the worries of His Highness."

Chu Lingxiu raised his hand and put his hands on her soft hands again, "The fifth prince's life and death is still unknown, and my father is very worried about this matter. Today's morning court just handed over the autumn hunting to me, so I am afraid that I will be busy again in the next period of time. Going to Chenglu Temple to pray for blessings will be prepared by you and my mother."

Jiang Li nodded, "Your Highness, just focus on your own affairs. Li'er can handle my mother and the princess."

"I will have dinner at your place tonight." Chu Lingxiu pinched Jiang Li's palm, and the meaning of his words was obvious.

Jiang Li, however, showed hesitation, "Your Highness, when Li'er came back just now, she saw Concubine Mu alone in the back garden, and her face was not very good. Why don't you go see her tonight?"

Hearing that Mu Xueliu was ill, Chu Lingxiu's eyes suddenly flashed with worry, and his eyes looking at Jiang Li also had a little more guilt, "Then I'll let Li'er go first. When Xueliu is fine, I'll go see you again."

Jiang Li was still smiling, and there was no jealousy on her bright face, "Your Highness, don't feel wronged Li'er. Concubine Mu is pregnant with your first child, and Li'er also hopes that she can give birth to your eldest grandson safely."

Hearing this, Chu Lingxiu's smile became even more intense, "I know that Li'er is the most virtuous and generous."

After speaking, Chu Lingxiu had already stood up and strode towards the door.

Looking at Chu Lingxi's anxious back, Jiang Li pursed the corners of her lips slightly.

No woman would willingly push her husband to another woman. Jiang Li did this simply because she knew that Mu Xueliu not only got pregnant with Chu Lingxiu's child before her, but also won Chu Lingxiu's heart before her. So if she wanted to do big things, she had to plan for the long term.

However, one thing that was certain was that the child in Mu Xueliu's belly could be kept, but Mu Xueliu must die.

Yangling Marquis's Mansion had become a useless chess piece, so the value of Mu Xueliu's existence was not great.

Among the princes of the current emperor, only Chu Lingxiu had married. Once he could give birth to the eldest grandson first, the emperor would be very happy, and Chu Lingxiu's position as the crown prince would be more stable.

As for the annoying child, it would not be too late to get rid of it after Jiang Li had her own child.

…

When Shen Qing and Lu Yan returned to Jing'an Palace, it was just the end of the Wei hour. After not seeing Shen Qing for a few days, Tuanzi became even more clingy and never left Shen Qing's arms all the way.

This made Lu Yan doubt again. How did Mo Wuchen train the cat? Wasn't this little thing quite fierce at the beginning? How did it become like this?

The most important thing is that it took his place!

Shen Qing got up, and Tuanzi, who had been sleeping all the way, was awakened. He opened his sleepy eyes slightly and met Lu Yan's slightly jealous eyes.

He swung his tail at him provocatively, and then Tuanzi went back to sleep.

Lu Yan's fist hardened, but his extremely weak body prevented him from swinging his fist. Instead, he leaned slightly on Shen Qing's shoulder, "Jiaojiao, I'm so tired, can you help me?"

Shen Qing gently pushed him, "Don't make trouble, there are so many people here."

Lu Yan leaned close to Shen Qing's ear and lowered his voice to the lowest level, but Shen Qing still clearly heard the grievance in it, "Jiaojiao, what I said is true. How have you treated me these days? Have you forgotten?"

After being reminded by Lu Yan, Shen Qing remembered the three consecutive ridiculous nights after their marriage. Even a healthy person like her could not bear it. Lu Yan's weak body might not be able to bear it even more, right?

So Shen Qing turned around and apologized, "It's my fault, but you can rest assured. Doctor Rong has prescribed me a prescription for clearing heat and relieving fire. I will never touch you tonight. If you are worried, I can sleep in the side room."

Lu Yan was completely confused. No, why did this sound so wrong?

What does it mean that he can rest assured? What does it mean that I will never touch him tonight? Also, what does it mean to go to the side room? Is Shen Qing going to sleep in a separate room from me?

One after another, doubts emerged in his mind. When Lu Yan reacted, Shen Qing had already walked a long way away and was explaining something to Chan Yi.

Lu Yan's intuition told him that Shen Qing was most likely explaining Chan Yi's move, so he hurried over and happened to hear some of the content.

Fortunately, it was just about decocting medicine, not sleeping in separate rooms.

Seeing Lu Yan coming over, Shen Qing said again: "By the way, I just asked the genius doctor Rong Heng to prescribe a prescription for you to replenish qi and blood. Let's boil cicada shells together. You should be able to get better after drinking it for a few days."

A sense of crisis suddenly hit his heart, and Lu Yan tentatively said: "Jiaojiao, do you dislike me?"

After saying that, without waiting for Shen Qing to speak, he quickly explained: "Jiaojiao, I really have nothing to do. We can continue to have sex tonight.

By the way, Jiaojiao, in fact, my body is still quite good, but it's just that those toxins are dragging me down. When I get rid of the toxins, I should be very powerful.

No, not should, it must."

Listening to Lu Yan's increasingly outrageous words, Shen Qing's already ruddy face instantly turned red, and he suppressed the strange anger in his heart and said: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Seeing that this topic could not be explained for a while, Shen Qing simply took two quick steps and returned to Qingzhu Garden first.

When Lu Yan came back, the redness on Shen Qing's face had faded, but he didn't mention what happened just now.

Lu Yan coughed lightly and talked about business, "Jiaojiao, I guessed before that Fusang Gu didn't spit out saliva because spitting out saliva might consume its vitality that had not been restored, so I thought, can I scare it with Tuanzi? In case it gets scared and spit out saliva subconsciously, the problem will be solved."

Shen Qing felt that Lu Yan's guess made some sense, but he hesitated and said, "But you have deceived Fusang Gu twice before, will it be fooled this time?"

Since breaking out of the cocoon and recognizing Lu Yan as its host, Fusang Gu has shown its head twice, and every time it showed its head, it met Tuanzi, which made it terrified.

"This thing is not smart, it should not have any memory, you hide Tuanzi first, I will try to communicate with it."

Shen Qing covered Tuanzi with his sleeve, and Lu Yan summoned Fusang Gu out.

As Shen Qing thought, Fusang Gu was very resistant, but couldn't stand Lu Yan's strong will, so after a long time, it finally popped up slightly on Lu Yan's fingertips.

Lu Yan stretched out his other hand to it, and Fusang Gu thought he wanted to get close to him, and rubbed his other finger affectionately with its tentacles, but unexpectedly, Lu Yan suddenly made a move and pulled it out very rudely.

Before Fusang Gu could react and go back in, it was thrown in front of Shen Qing by Lu Yan. Tuanzi under his sleeves opened his eyes immediately and slapped Fusang Gu's round body with one claw.

Fusang Gu's heart was finally completely dead. It came out for the third time, and it still met Tuanzi, the deadly nemesis!

It couldn't escape, and maybe it would be slapped to death by Tuanzi's claws, so Fusang Gu could only lie there obediently, praying that Tuanzi would let it go like the previous two times, or that the unscrupulous host would find conscience and save it.

Seeing that Fusang Gu was motionless, Tuanzi stood up and elegantly turned around twice in front of it, fiddling with its body from time to time as if teasing a toy.

Lu Yan felt Fusang Gu's call for help, but Lu Yan ignored it and conveyed his intention: unless Fusang Gu spit out saliva, he would let Tuanzi slap it to death.

As for whether Fusang Gu could understand what he meant, Lu Yan himself didn't know.

The situation began to stalemate, and Lu Yan had guessed that Fusang Gu was most likely still unable to understand such a complicated command.

After thinking for a while, Lu Yan took a sip of water, grabbed one of Tuanzi's claws and slapped it on his head. The next moment, Lu Yan spit out the water without caring about his image.

Shen Qing understood and removed Tuanzi's claws that were forced to press on Lu Yan's head, and Lu Yan regained his freedom.

The tentacles on the top of Fusang Gu's head trembled, but there was still no reaction.

Shen Qing continued to grab one of Tuanzi's claws and slapped Fusang Gu. The force was not strong, but it still knocked Fusang Gu, who dared not resist at all, to the ground.

Fusang Gu trembled and stood up. After a moment, a drop of bright red liquid condensed on its tentacles, which looked a bit like blood and a bit like the setting sun.

Lu Yan's body shook. If his guess was correct, this drop of liquid was -

Fusang Yin!
