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

The two smiled at each other, with a similar tacit understanding in their eyes.

The two stood in the corridor and talked, looking towards the palace in the distance.

Su Jingning saw that the mark between his eyebrows had deepened a little, and remembered the rumors he had heard about the You family of Nanyue.

The You family of Nanyue had been the national teachers of Nanyue for generations, assisting the imperial family. Even though the royal family of Nanyue had changed people and surnames, the national teacher was still a member of the You family.

The You family is very good at divination and can see through the will of heaven. The predictions made by each imperial master are never wrong. This is also the reason why the You family has only one successor, and each imperial master does not live past 30. It is said that if the color of the holy seal on the forehead of a You family member fades one day, it means that his life span will also end.

Su Jingning was lost in thought and didn't hear clearly what the person next to her said. When she turned around to ask, the person smiled and shook his head:

"nothing."

You Baishu seemed to have thought of something, and whispered to her, "By the way, Mo Xiaoqi, I saw the tree you mentioned. Do you think it will survive if I plant one in South Vietnam?"

Tree? Su Jingning was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that he was talking about the Luan tree that was unique to Dijing. He always mentioned it to Mo Linyuan when he missed home.

"The Koelreuteria paniculata prefers warm and cool weather, so it should be able to grow in Nanyue. If you like it, I'll give you two later."

"Then I'll thank you in advance."

Su Jingning patted his shoulder and said nonchalantly: "You're even more polite to me!"

Looking at the figure standing not far away, Su Jingning paused after retracting his hand, with a smile in his eyes: "No more talking, I'll talk to you again when I'm free."

After saying that, he walked towards Gu Yan'an.

The person behind her called her again: "Mo Xiaoqi, wait."

He took out a wooden box from his sleeve and handed it over: "Wedding gift."

Su Jingning took a look at the wooden box and took it without hesitation: "Thank you!"

"I'll be leaving first then? See you later."

"Ah."

Su Jingning took the wooden box and walked a few steps towards the man standing with his hands behind his back not far away. When You Baishu looked over, he happened to be looking at him.

The man's eyes were dark, and he did not try to hide his coldness. He silently pressed towards You Baishu. When the woman came closer, he slowly restrained himself and lowered his head to look at her with a smile.

Su Jingning naturally took his arm and looked up at him: "Didn't you say you were waiting for me in the outer palace? Why did you come in?"

Gu Yan'an glanced at the wooden box in her hand and said, "I came in because I was afraid you might get impatient.

"Let's go, let's get out of the palace."

"Okay." Gu Yan'an glanced at the person who was still standing behind her, and led her out.

As soon as they left, Wen Lan'er, who had been out looking for her master since he had gone out, arrived.

"Master!"

She saw You Baishu with his face uncovered and walked quickly to his side.

"Master, why are you..." She looked puzzled and was about to ask.

You Baishu retracted his gaze, and his eyes returned to their indifferent calmness. He reached out and covered his face again.

"Nothing, go back."

Wen Lan'er looked curiously in the direction he had just been staring at, but not finding anything, she turned around and followed him.

She vaguely felt that her master had been acting a little strange these days.

Outside the palace, in the carriage.

Gu Yan'an glanced at the wooden box she was still holding in her hand, and felt violent and uncomfortable in his heart, with a nameless fire of jealousy burning in his heart.

He looked at his released hand again and sat on the other side in silence.

Su Jingning did not notice his abnormality and lowered his head to open the wooden box.

When he saw what was inside, there was a flash of amazement in his eyes.

A transparent ice crystal stone lay quietly in the middle. What surprised her most was what was inside the ice crystal stone: a silver-blue ice butterfly was sealed in the middle, gorgeous and psychedelic.

"It's the Ice Butterfly! What a beautiful stone." Su Jingning couldn't help but praise.

The person next to him had a darker look in his eyes.

"Like?" he asked calmly.

"It's quite beautiful, Ayan, don't you think? This ice butterfly also has..." Su Jingning did not look up, but lowered his eyes to study the stone in his hand.

"It doesn't look good."

A low and somewhat angry voice sounded in her ears.

Su Jingning realized something was wrong. He put down the thing in his hand and looked up at Gu Yan'an, who had a dark face, closed his eyes and was emitting cold air.

Are you angry?

Su Jingning leaned towards him: "Are you angry?"

He opened his eyes, drooped his brows slightly, ignored her, stared at the Bodhi Buddhist beads on his wrist, and said nothing.

Su Jingning smiled, his eyes were a little naughty, and he leaned close to his ear and whispered softly, "Hey! Pretty Ah Yan, don't be angry."

The girl's soft and flattering voice rang in his ears, and he instantly lost his temper.

He raised his eyes to look at her, his voice carrying a bit of grievance, as if his most beloved treasure was touched by someone: "He touched you, and I don't like it."

Su Jingning was slightly stunned, as if she reached out and patted Bai Zhu.

"Then I will never let anyone get close to my clothes from now on, okay?" Su Jingning couldn't stand seeing his enchantingly handsome face look a little aggrieved, so he immediately coaxed him.

"Yeah." Gu Yan'an nodded with satisfaction, and stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms. The corners of his mouth curled up with a somewhat sinister smile:

"If you call me husband again, I will lose all my energy."

Su Jingning raised his head and gave him a coquettish look, then opened his hand and ignored him, only explaining his relationship with You Baishu in a low voice:

"Bai Shu was the first friend I met in Mo Linyuan. When I first arrived in Mo Linyuan, my master and fellow students often sent me to Yanshan for training. He was a disciple of the Outer Sect's Academy of Literature, but he always loved to go to Yanshan for martial arts. There were all kinds of deadly formations in Yanshan, so I often ran into him and saved him a few times. He also helped me a lot, and after a few interactions, we became friends."

"He was very smart. When he left Yuan, he and Wusheng went through Yanshan together. Then he returned to Nanyue to take over as the national teacher. We haven't seen each other since then."

Gu Yan'an lowered his eyes and looked at her, his eyes dimmed. The girl in his arms talked about her friends with a pure look. But today he saw that the Nanyue State Master's eyes looking at her were not like those of an ordinary friend.

Looking at the unaware girl, he sighed slightly and wanted to hold her tighter and tighter, not wanting others to covet her.

There was always a voice in his heart that wanted to control him, telling himself to hide her, not let anyone see her, and not let her see anyone else. Then she would belong to him alone forever, and no one could take her away from him.

Gu Yan'an suppressed the evil and violence in his heart. He knew that the blood poison was tempting him again and trying to control him. He could hear such voices every day since he was born, and he could not rest even at night. In his dreams, he killed everyone in his palace overnight. He stood in front of the corpses of the queen and the emperor with blood on his hands, and even the old man died under his knife. His men were dead and bloody, and countless souls died. He was like a demon who only knew how to kill. People spit on him and cursed him with the most vicious words.

Sometimes he was so tortured by that voice that even he hated himself, as if everything in the dream had happened and he was supposed to be the person in the dream.

"Ayan, Ayan?"

"What's the matter?" Su Jingning told him about An Xia and the others going to Yaozhou, but he didn't respond for a long time. He looked up at him and found that she was in a trance.

"It's okay. Yaozhou should send back news tomorrow, don't worry." He came back to his senses and comforted her in a gentle voice.

Su Jingning looked at him, and seeing that he looked fine, he nodded, and the worry in his eyes gradually disappeared.

In three days it will be the full moon, and the blood parasite in his body is about to break out. She has been worried these days, fearing that something might happen to him.

.........

Prince Chen's Palace.

Shen Feng came back from outside and went straight into Prince Chen's study.

"Your Majesty, there is a response to the matter you asked someone to investigate."

Prince Chen looked at Shen Feng with excitement in his eyes: "How is it?"

"People in the Northern Frontier sent back news that the Beiyang Palace in the Northern Frontier would strengthen its defenses every few months. Although it is common for the palace to change guards and strengthen its defenses, the day for strengthening defenses is always around the 16th of that month."

"After returning to the Imperial Capital, he also left the capital during these two days. There is a record of him leaving the city at the city gate."

The corners of Prince Chen's mouth slightly raised. He would be sixteen in three days. He would know if it was him after a trip to Prince Beiyang's Palace in three days.

"Oh, I see."
