The Evil Emperor's Favorite: The Sickly and Poisonous Concubine Goes Crazy

She spent the whole night reading in the pavilion. She found out that the person who had poisoned Nanji was Princess Yingheng of Nanji. The book said that Princess Yingheng was the most talented person in controlling poison in Nanji. Therefore, she was very favored by the king of Nanji, who even wanted to pass the throne to her.

Princess Yingheng was gentle and kind, but also tenacious and intelligent. At the age of fifteen, she established a girls' school, breaking the tradition that Nanji girls could not read and write, and allowing Nanji girls to go to school. Later, she did not hesitate to offend the Nanji court party and abolished Nanji's bad habit of using slaves to make Gu. Therefore, Princess Yingheng was extremely loved by the people, and there was even a ridiculous saying that the people of Nanji only knew Yingheng and did not recognize their master.

But such a gentle and docile princess who loved her people like her own children would occasionally change her temperament, as if she had become a different person, becoming violent and vicious, killing people without blinking, and even pointing her sword at the King of Nanji. She dyed the Nanji Palace with blood with her own hands overnight. After Princess Yingheng woke up and saw the Nanji Palace flooded with blood, she wept in agony and committed suicide in the Nanji Palace, ending her short life.

The book also records that every time Princess Yingheng killed someone, her veins would turn black and swell, becoming terrifying. Her power was unfathomable and no one could match her.

After her death, she was despised by the people of Nanji. They said that Princess Yingheng turned into a demon by refining the Gu, and she even used her body to refine the Gu. She failed to control the magic Gu and instead let the magic Gu control people, which led to such a big mistake. Those people she had rescued never said a word to defend her.

But they didn't know that the blood poison was planted on Princess Yingheng by the King of Nanji. Princess Yingheng was a once-in-a-millennium talent in Nanji's Gu refining. But the King of Nanji at that time was a mediocre talent. His daughter's brilliance was overshadowing him day by day. He wanted to kill Yingheng, but he didn't want Nanji to lose such a genius. So he asked the national teacher to refine the mind-controlling poison so that Yingheng would only obey him. As a result, the national teacher had evil intentions and replaced the mind-controlling poison with the blood poison Shala that he secretly refined.

Therefore, after Ying Heng was poisoned by the blood-curdling Sala fruit, she became moody, violent and murderous, but she still controlled herself and even locked herself in her mansion, not going out until she found out that the state teacher had gone out to sea to look for the ice crystal Sala fruit used to hatch the blood-curdling fruit. Only then did she realize that the person who poisoned her was actually her beloved father, whom she had wholeheartedly assisted. She collapsed and killed the state teacher who had made the poison in a rage, staining the Nanji Palace with blood, but in the end she could not bring herself to do it. She cried blood in despair in front of the King of Nanji and slashed her own throat with a knife.

After her death, the King of Nanji repented and blamed the Nanji people for the poison that had been practiced for generations. He ordered all the poison books to be destroyed and forbade the people of Nanji to practice the poison technique again.

Su Jingning walked all the way to the medicine house, frowning and thinking. She couldn't help feeling sorry for Princess Yingheng. The person she had tried her best to save was ungrateful, and her father, who loved and assisted her wholeheartedly, was scheming. In the end, her sincerity was rewarded with betrayal and suspicion.

When she arrived at the quiet room, Song Ci'an and Ji Chen were already waiting.

Seeing that her eyes were slightly dark and bloodshot, it was obvious that she had not slept the whole night before.

Song Ci'an remembered what Han Duan said this morning, that she had spent the whole night in Longyin Pavilion reading the History of Nanji State, and there seemed to be something hidden in her beautiful phoenix eyes.

"You didn't sleep all night?" Su Ci'an raised his eyebrows and looked at the dark circles under her eyes.

Ji Chen, who was standing by, saw that she looked a little tired and thought that she had not slept all night because she was feeling unwell after the ice needle injection.

"Xiao Qi, is there any discomfort after the injection?"

Su Jingning shook his head towards Ji Chen: "I'm fine, Senior Brother, please give me the acupuncture first."

Song Ci'an didn't say anything. He just quietly handed the medicine to her and asked her to drink it. Then he slowly gathered his energy and gave her acupuncture.

The pain that penetrated her bones and pierced through her body was even more severe than yesterday. The tearing and chill of the two forces in her hidden veins almost tore her apart.

As the ice needles were injected into her body one by one, a thin layer of frost gradually condensed on her skin, and then slowly melted away. Her pale face returned to normal, and even the fatigue in her eyes faded a little.

Ji Chenwumen had something else to do, so he left after Su Jingning recovered.

Su Jingning was just about to leave with Ji Chen when Song Ci'an called her.

"Xiao Qi, wait a minute, I have something to tell you."

She looked at Song Ci'an with questioning eyes.

"Sit down." Song Ci'an pointed to a chair and asked her to sit down.

"Big Brother, is there anything else?"

Song Ci'an put the medicine in his hand into the medicine drawer, walked to the chair beside her, and sat down lazily while fanning himself: "Are you looking for a solution to the blood poison Sha Luo?"

Su Jingning was startled and asked, "How did you know that, Senior Brother?"

"Master said so." Song Ci'an looked at her. After a pause, he continued:

"Don't look for it. The blood parasite can't be cured."

Su Jingning frowned and looked at Song Ci'an. Her master said it couldn't be solved, and now her senior brother couldn't solve it either, but she found some clues in Longyin Pavilion yesterday.

"Is there really no way? What about the ice crystal sala fruit?"

When Song Ci'an heard the word "Ice Crystal Sala Fruit", a look of surprise flashed across his brows.

But still shook his head:

"The Ice Crystal Sala Fruit is the incubator of the Blood Gu, and it does have the effect of suppressing it. But have you heard about the disaster that occurred in the East China Sea a few decades ago when an island sank and the Eastern Region of the Great Zhou suffered a great disaster? The island that sank was the one with the Ice Crystal Sala Tree, so there are no Ice Crystal Sala Fruits in the world today. Even if there were Ice Crystal Sala Fruits, they can only suppress the Blood Gu, but cannot cure it."

It was rare for Song Ci'an to act like a senior brother in front of Su Jingning. He glared at Su Jingning and said with a hint of warning:

"Go back to the courtyard and rest well before the acupuncture. Your frost seal has not been completely suppressed yet, so don't mess around anymore."

Seeing her silent response, Song Ci'an felt relieved and let her go.

After she left, Song Ci'an stopped being lazy, frowned, and tightened the folding fan in his hand, as if he was hiding something.

In the next few days, Su Jingning did as he promised Song Ci'an. Every day, except for going to the medicine house to give acupuncture, he stayed indoors and did not go out. It seemed that he really would not look for a way to cure the blood poison Shala.

Until the second day after the acupuncture, Su Jingning suddenly disappeared without a sound for a while. Song Ci'an sent people to look for her, but they couldn't find where she had gone.

When she slowly returned to Mo Linyuan again and saw what she took out, Song Ci'an realized that she had never given up on finding a way to cure the blood poison Sha Luo.

Song Ci'an looked at the crystal clear fruit in her hand and was speechless for a moment.

Ye Ling returned to Mo Linyuan with Su Jingning.

As soon as he saw Song Ci'an, he raised his eyebrows and asked him coldly:

"Brother, why did you lie to Xiao Qi that there were no more ice crystal sal fruit in the world, and let her go to sea for nothing?"

Song Ci'an looked at Su Jingning: "You went out to sea?"

Su Jingning nodded.

In fact, the eldest brother did not lie to her. The island with the ice crystal sal tree did sink. She just wanted to go out to sea to look for it, but fortunately she met the survivors of the island. The survivors told her that someone had been to the island and used a secret method to transplant a sal tree seedling. She searched for clues everywhere for more than a month, and finally found out that the people who transplanted the ice crystal sal tree to the island were from the Ten Thousand Poison Valley.

After the Wan Du Valley brought the Ice Crystal Sal tree back, they planted it in the ice stream in the Wan Du Holy Land. They guarded it carefully and took meticulous care of it. Unexpectedly, they managed to keep the Ice Crystal Sal tree alive.

Although the Ice Crystal Sala Fruit is now the sacred object of the Ten Thousand Poison Valley, and it can be used to breed the Gu King, Ye Ling has always given Xiao Qi whatever he wants without blinking an eye.

Su Jingning was just wondering why he hid it from her when he knew clearly that there were Ice Crystal Sala Fruits in the Ten Thousand Poison Valley.
