As soon as he finished speaking, a figure appeared in the room out of nowhere.

Hua Shu looked at the slightly shaking window and smiled sweetly at the person standing a few steps away from her.

"It turns out that Your Highness likes to eavesdrop."

Chu Hengzhi glanced at her exposed shoulders, frowned slightly, looked away and was about to speak, but before he could say anything, he suddenly vomited a mouthful of black blood.

Seeing him covering his left hand with a look of pain on his face, Hua Shu sighed, stood up, walked to his side, grabbed his hand and took his pulse.

Feeling his pulse was tight and rapid, Hua Shu frowned: "Are you poisoned?"

Chu Hengzhi looked at her and said in a low voice: "Do you have a solution?"

Hua Shu did not answer him. She withdrew her hand and walked to the table and poured herself a cup of tea. She took a sip, put down the cup, and leaned on the table to look at him.

"Your Highness, the first time I saw you, you were drugged, and the second time I saw you, you were poisoned. This shows how many people want to kill you. I regret cooperating with you now."

Her voice was so charming and seductive, coupled with the expression on her face, that no man could bear it. But Chu Hengzhi was in too much pain to care about that.

"Hua Shu, I'm not in the mood to talk to you about this. Can you help me detoxify?"

Hua Shu stretched out her hand to gather her hair and smiled charmingly: "Of course I can untie it, but what should I do if I don't really want to do it."

Before she finished her words, Chu Hengzhi rushed to her and grabbed her neck with his hands. His eyes were like sharp swords and his voice was chilling.

"Do you really want to die?"

His hands tightened little by little, and Hua Shu's face turned pale due to suffocation, but she was not afraid. Instead, she showed a hint of sneer and grabbed Chu Hengzhi's pulse point on his hand that was pinching her neck.

Chu Hengzhi only felt a sharp pain in his heart. He pulled back his hand abruptly and looked at her coldly, as if he wanted to cut her into pieces.

Hua Shu rubbed her neck and looked at him coldly, but her voice was as gentle as ever: "Chu Hengzhi, do you really think I can't kill you?"

Looking at the murderous intent in her eyes, Chu Hengzhi knew that it would be easy for her to kill him at this time, so he finally compromised.

He softened his voice and said, "How can you help me detoxify?"

"This is the attitude of asking for help." Hua Shu walked up to him and reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. She did not withdraw her hand in a hurry, but gently stroked his lips with her fingertips.

Chu Hengzhi couldn't bear it any longer and grabbed her hand. His voice became a little hoarse because of the pain: "Hua Shu, my patience is limited."

Hua Shu moved closer to him, so close that their lips almost touched each other. She curled her lips and said, "Then just kill me."

"You!" Chu Hengzhi was so angry that black blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth again.

Seeing him like this, Hua Shu no longer wanted to tease him. She pulled her hand back and took a step back to look him in the eye: "I can help you detoxify, but the condition is that I use all the secret lines and intelligence networks in your palace."

Chu Hengzhi frowned after hearing this. He looked at Hua Shu for a long time before saying, "Okay, I'll give it to you."

After hearing the answer she wanted, Hua Shu asked him to sit on the chaise longue beside her and take off his shirt.

She took out a box from under the bed, opened it, took out a medicine bottle and a set of silver needles, and walked to his side.

She opened the bottle, poured out a pill and put it into his mouth, then took out a silver needle and pierced several of his acupuncture points.

She had originally wanted to wait until the seventh day of next month when Chu Heng's poison broke out and he would come to her, and then ask him to use his secret lines and intelligence network in the palace. However, she didn't expect that he would come to her today, which saved her a lot of time.

After a cup of tea, Chu Hengzhi's face regained some color. Hua Shu took out the silver needle from his body, pricked his wound, and sat directly on his lap, grabbing his hand and playing with his fingers.

"Your Highness was injured in the Prime Minister's Residence, right?"

Chu Hengzhi frowned slightly: "How do you know?"

Hua Shu looked at him with a smile on her face: "The poison you were poisoned with is a secret of my master Cheng Feng that he never passed on to anyone."

Hearing this, Chu Hengzhi's eyes turned cold. Hua Huaiyuan sent a daughter with peerless beauty and medical skills into the palace. It was definitely not just to gain a foothold in the court.

He reached out and lifted Hua Shu's chin, rubbing her skin back and forth with his fingertips, just like she had just done.

"Your father asked you to enter the palace because he wanted you to help the prince remove the stumbling blocks, right?"

Hua Shu smiled and looked at him: "If I say yes, will you strangle me to death?"

The corners of Chu Hengzhi's lips slightly curled up and he suddenly moved closer to her. Hua Shu instinctively wanted to step back, but he grabbed the back of her head and kissed her directly.

A smile flashed in Hua Shu's eyes, and she put her arms around his neck, but soon her brows frowned.

Chu Hengzhi's kiss was urgent, even to the point of being forced.

Hua wanted to push him away, but no matter how hard she tried, even biting his lips, he didn't let her go.

Feeling that she was about to suffocate, Hua Shu pressed hard on the wound on his arm, and Chu Hengzhi let her go.

Hua Shu stood up and took a few deep breaths of fresh air before she recovered. She glared at Chu Hengzhi fiercely: "I didn't know that Your Highness likes to move his mouth when talking to others."

Chu Hengzhi stretched out his thumb to wipe the blood from his lips, then stood up and slowly walked towards her.

Hua Shu was afraid that he would go crazy again, so she subconsciously took a step back: "What are you going to do?"

Chu Heng took a step forward, picked her up by the waist and walked towards the bed: "Isn't this why you lit the aphrodisiac incense?"

Hua Shu then remembered that she didn't want to serve the emperor, so she specially ordered an aphrodisiac incense that would make people fall asleep quickly and feel tired the next day.

After the emperor left, she originally wanted to kill him, but she suddenly smelled the scent of medicine on Chu Hengzhi and forgot about it for a moment.

Chu Hengzhi had already put her on the bed and kissed her again, not giving Hua Shu any chance to react.

Hua Shu's hand subconsciously reached for the silver needle under the pillow, but she quickly withdrew her hand and wrapped it around Chu Hengzhi's neck, responding to him with great enthusiasm.

She didn't want to sleep with the emperor because the emperor was old and might not be able to make her pregnant. Another reason was that before she entered the palace, Hua Huaiyuan asked Cheng Feng to give her a contraceptive drug.

Even if she served him in the emperor's bedchamber, she would not be able to get pregnant no matter how favored she was, so she did not want to serve an old man who could be her father.

But Chu Hengzhi is different. He is younger than the emperor, so maybe he can make her pregnant.

If she was pregnant, she would be one step closer to the position of empress or even emperor, so she wanted to take a chance.

Chu Hengzhi's idea was similar to hers. He wanted Hua Shu to work for him, not to cooperate with him but to work for him wholeheartedly.

Feeling that his kissing skills were very unfamiliar, Hua Shu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Chu Hengzhi frowned, breathing a little hurriedly: "What are you laughing at?"

"You are a bad kisser." Hua Shu smiled charmingly: "Let me teach you."

As she spoke, Hua Shu changed positions with him. Just as she kissed Chu Hengzhi's lips, Caiyue's somewhat anxious voice was heard outside the door.

"Beauty, Eunuch He is here."
