I was given the contraceptive soup and became the emperor's white moonlight

Inside Linglong Palace, a copper incense burner was quietly placed on a top-grade huanghuali wood table, with wisps of smoke drifting from the incense burner.

A girl who looked no more than fourteen or fifteen years old was kneeling stiffly in front of the table. Next to the table was a pretty woman sitting on a wide pear wood chair.

The woman gently took off her gorgeous coat, revealing a light blue shirt. A faint smile was on her unmade-up face.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Haitang."

"Haitang?" Su Minglang looked at the little girl kneeling on the ground with interest, "This is not a good name."

"This name doesn't suit you."

Haitang stared at Su Minglang blankly, her expression full of confusion: "My lady, do you think that I am not beautiful enough to be worthy of Haitanghua?"

"No!" Su Minglang shook her head, and tapped the table with one slender jade finger. After a long while, she patted the table, "Nanxing, how is Nanxing?"

"How about I call you Nanxing from now on?"

As soon as Su Minglang finished speaking, Haitang knocked her head heavily to the ground, "Thank you, Madam Queen, for giving me a name!"

Su Minglang laughed and shook his head helplessly, "Do you know what Nanxing is?"

"I know!" Nanxing raised her head, revealing a pair of sparkling eyes.

"Oh?" Su Minglang raised her eyebrows. This answer was somewhat unexpected to her. "You know Nanxing? Then tell me what this is."

"It's a poisonous weed!" Nan Xing answered without hesitation, "When I was a child, I heard from adults that someone ate that kind of weed and died, but I have never seen it."

"Not bad!" Su Minglang nodded approvingly, becoming more and more satisfied with Nanxing, "Nanxing is indeed poisonous."

"However, although Nanxing is poisonous, it is a medicinal herb, a medicine for tigers and wolves!" Su Minglang paused, his eyes suddenly sharp, "Nanxing, I hope you can be my good medicine, but I am also worried that you will become a deadly poison that kills me."

"I can't!" Nan Xing suddenly spoke, interrupting Su Minglang's words, and looked straight at her with a pair of eyes, flashing with a firm light.

"Your Highness saved me, so my life belongs to you. Whatever you wish for is what I wish for!"

"Even if I want you to die?"

"Even if you want me to die!"

Su Minglang lowered her eyes and stared at Nanxing, not hiding the suspicion in her eyes. Nanxing did not lower her head either, but just met her scrutinizing gaze straight away. After a long time, Su Minglang finally let out a breath and laughed.

"Get up," Su Minglang took the initiative to extend her hand, and Nanxing stood up with her help, "Have you ever read a book?"

"I know a few words," Nan Xing nodded, and then added as if he remembered something: "My queen."

"Pfft!" Su Minglang couldn't help laughing out loud, "Don't be so reserved, Nanxing, relax a little, I won't blame you even if I don't address you by your name."

"However, this only works when we're alone. We still need to be polite in front of outsiders to avoid being criticized."

"Is it not possible in front of Sister Ye?" Nanxing tilted his head.

"No!" Su Minglang shook his head, "Remember, anyone!"

Nanxing nodded, frowning, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Since you can read, you can't just know a few. From tomorrow on, I will teach you to read. You don't have to do the cleaning work anymore. Come and serve me."

"Nanxing?" Su Minglang said but there was no response for a long time. When he looked up, he saw Nanxing standing there in a daze, with the brows on his young face becoming more and more furrowed.

"South Star!"

"You don't believe her!"

"What?" Su Minglang was a little unhappy, frowning and looking at her in confusion, "What did you say?"

"I said you don't believe her, you don't believe Sister Ye, right?"

"I brought Ye Zi into the palace from my mother's home, so of course I trust her." Su Minglang frowned even tighter, "Did you not listen to a word I said just now?"

"You don't believe her!" Nan Xing replied with a firm look. When he met Su Minglang's unhappy gaze, he remembered to add the second half of the sentence: "I heard that you wanted me to learn to read."

"Tsk!" Su Minglang didn't understand what she was insisting on. "You said I don't believe her, you have to give me a reason, right?"

"You have something to say to me, but you never said it to Sister Ye!" Nan Xing touched his nose, "You scared her today, which means you have never been so, so..." in front of her

"Hmm..." Nan Xing frowned again, "I don't know, it's just, it's, uh, fierce!"

"Yes! You have never been so fierce in front of Sister Ye!"

After Nan Xing finished speaking, she raised her head with pride, looking at Su Minglang with sparkling eyes, as if waiting for praise.

"Do you know why I told you this?" Su Minglang said expressionlessly.

Nanxing shook his head, his face full of confusion.

"Because of your eyes," Su Minglang swallowed a mouthful of tea and pushed the cold tea away with a little disgust, "I noticed your eyes at first sight. Even in such a dark place, your eyes still sparkled."

"I have only seen such light once. It was a trapped wolf. It was huddled in a cage. The cage was very small, so small that it could only curl up inside. But even so, there was still light shining in its eyes."

"Do you know what the first thing it does when it's released?"

Su Minglang didn't wait for Nan Xing to answer and continued, "The first thing it did when it came out was to bite to death the person who let it out."

"Why?" Nan Xing stood up for the man who opened the door with an angry look on his face. "It was that man who gave it freedom, wasn't it? Why did you bite him to death?"

"How do you know that the person who brings it hope is not the one who deprives it of its freedom?"

"I......"

"Do you want to know the fate of this wolf?" Su Minglang said nonchalantly, as if a person's life and death was just a joke after dinner. "Guess?"

"......died?"

"The skin was peeled off and the bones were removed, and the meat was cooked and fed to the dogs."

Nanxing trembled all over, as if the evil wolf was being torn apart and skinned right in front of her.

"My lady..."

"Wolves are very smart animals. You can only tame them if you are stronger than them. But Nanxing, do you know? Once a wolf is tamed, it becomes a dog. Dogs are loyal, but they lose their blood."

"You are a wolf, a wolf that is always lurking, waiting for the right moment, and then kills with one strike. I believe you will not let me down, right?"

"Master!" Nan Xing slowly knelt down, with his upper body straight and his head lowered obediently, "If you want me to be a good medicine to cure diseases, then Nan Xing will be a good medicine to cure diseases. If you want me to be a deadly poison that kills instantly upon contact with blood, then I will be a deadly poison that kills instantly upon contact with blood."

"If you want me to be a loyal dog, Nanxing will be a loyal dog. If you want me to be a hungry wolf, Nanxing will pounce on your enemies without hesitation!"

Su Minglang smiled with satisfaction, leaned down and gently placed his hand on Nanxing's head, "I believe you, Nanxing."

I hope you are worthy of my trust.
