The Poisonous Consort, the Regent's Beloved

Su Fuying looked into his eyes and waited quietly for him to continue.

The man's lips twitched a few times, and he muttered in disbelief, "It shouldn't be him."

"Who?"

"Shadow One."

The man called out, and a man in black appeared in the doorway, dressed the same as the guard who had accompanied him last time, but more composed.

"Your honor."

"Give me the medicine."

The man named Yingyi respectfully handed over a porcelain bottle. He took the bottle, poured out a dark brown pill, and handed it to Su Fuying. Su Fuying held the pill to her nose and sniffed it for a moment. Then, as if unsure, she crushed the pill and smelled it again.

"Where did this medicine come from?"

The man didn't answer her, but instead asked, "Is there a problem?"

"Yes, this medicine clashes with the toxins in your body. Long-term use will accelerate the onset of these toxins."

As soon as Su Fuying finished speaking, the expressions of the two men present changed simultaneously. "Your Majesty."

Yingyi was a little anxious. How could that be? He'd been eating it for so many years and nothing had happened.

"You just said they're different, are you referring to different medicines?"

Su Fuying asked, the man's breathing was somewhat heavy, he looked up at Ying Yi, Ying Yi understood, and took out another porcelain bottle from his body.

Su Fuying took it and smelled it in the same way. "This medicine is fine. It can suppress the toxicity, but it won't be very effective against the toxicity in your body right now."

"Miss, our master's medicines have all been tested several times, and everyone said there was no problem. Why would they be harmful?"

Yingyi couldn't help but ask, "Even if the medicine was given by someone you trust, Your Majesty would still check it."

Seeing that Yingyi's attitude was respectful and her tone was not questioning but rather puzzled, Su Fuying patiently explained: "The poison your master was poisoned with was rare. Many doctors do not recognize this kind of poison, so they naturally do not know that there is a medicinal herb called Mingyangzi in it. This herb is very nourishing, but when mixed with a large amount of poison, the poisoned person will feel their blood and qi surging, their heart beating fast, and their blood running wild in their body, thus causing unbearable pain."

At this point, Su Fuying glanced at the masked man with some admiration. He had been silently enduring it all these years; he was truly impressive.

He then continued, "This pill contains a Tian Shan purple sunflower, which is a miraculous detoxifying agent and a powerful tonic."

"These two herbs are incompatible. If an ordinary person takes them together, they will explode and die. Because you have too many toxins in your body, the medicinal properties of this Tianshan Purple Sunflower have been diluted a little. However, these two herbs will cause the toxins in your body to erupt more frequently, and each time will be more painful than the last."

"You will die within three months due to reversed meridian flow."

Su Fuying finished speaking in one breath, feeling a bit thirsty. She sat down next to the man, picked up the cup on the table, filled it with tea, and drank it all in one gulp.

Uh......

This tea had a faint aroma and left a sweet taste as it went down her throat; it was a hundred times better than the tea she had that day.

No wonder this stinky man said his tea was inedible.

"Miss, Miss."

Yingyi's stammering voice came through, and following his horrified gaze, we saw the white-glazed porcelain cup with petal patterns in her hand. It was a fine tea set, and it looked even more lustrous between her fair fingers.

"What, I can't drink it?"

Su Fuying raised an eyebrow and asked.

"No, no, no, it's just that this is His Excellency's...cup."

Su Fuying was taken aback and looked at the table. There was a matching teapot, but there was only one cup on the entire table. The man who had just come in was still drinking from it.

......

Turning his head, he saw a cold gaze fixed on the woman's pink lips beneath the mask. Su Fuying immediately stood up and took two steps back. Was he going to cut off her lips after drinking from his cup?

The man said, "Shadow One, get down."

Ying Yixin finished speaking. With such severe mysophobia, if anyone touched his things, he would definitely kill them and throw the things away.

Pity.

After the man left, Su Fuying still watched him warily. The man chuckled and said, "What are you afraid of?"

His voice was already pleasant to hear, and his usual cold tone made people not pay attention to it. But this soft laugh made Su Fu pause for a moment.

"come over."

Damn it, why is this man's tone so strange today?

"I've already shown you the medicine, now it's time to take me to see the person."

The man, with his dark eyes, said slowly and deliberately, "I know you have a way to suppress the toxins in my body."

Thinking back to the last time I was poisoned, I heard Ying Er say that she woke up without taking the life-saving medicine, no matter what method she used.

He felt completely relaxed when he woke up that time. In the past, after each attack of the poison, he would wake up with no internal energy left and a splitting headache. So, he knew that she would definitely have a way.

Su Fuying's eyes flickered, a layer of coldness settling over her dark gaze. "Are you going back on your word?"

The man looked at her meaningfully for a few seconds before saying, "The person is the condition from last time, which I will naturally give you. This time, it's a different price."

Su Fuying's brows relaxed, and her tone carried a hint of flippancy, "I wonder how much the life of the Shadowless Palace Master is worth?"

"priceless."

The woman's eyes lit up. "I don't have anything to do right now. How about you grant me three conditions, and I'll come back to you to redeem them later?"

The man rested his chin on his hand, pondered for a moment, and said, "If you want me to marry you, wouldn't I have to sell myself to you?"

Su Fuying's face darkened. "What nonsense is this? Who wants you to marry me?"

"That's fine."

Seeing that the man agreed, Su Fuying didn't waste any more words, "I can only suppress the toxin outbreak for you, but I can't cure it."

"Ah."

"Come see me at the beginning of each month."

"it is good."

After saying that, the man got up and led Su Fuying towards the basement.

After walking through a cold, damp passage, the pungent smell of blood mixed with the stench of decay made Su Fuying frown.

They walked up to a cell where a ragged old man was sitting, muttering to himself, but they couldn't make out what he was saying.

Su Fuying stepped forward and looked at the old man in front of her. His cloudy eyes were devoid of any light, and he indeed looked like a madman.

"I need to take his pulse."

"Hmm, it's dirty here. I'll have someone bring it up to him."

The two returned to the room together, where several guards carried a wooden bucket. "Your Majesty, it's ready."

"Well, let's go down."

Su Fuying looked at him, not understanding what he was going to do. The man walked to the screen and began to take off his clothes.

"what are you doing."

Su Fuying was startled; why did this man like to take off his clothes on the spot?

"Why aren't you leaving yet? Do you want to bathe with me?"

Upon hearing this, the man turned his head and looked at her suspiciously.

Uh......

He went outside and saw Yingyi waiting at the door. "Didn't he look like he had just finished taking a bath? Why is he taking another one?"

Yingyi hesitated before speaking, "His Majesty dislikes the smell of the dungeon and always takes a bath after returning from there."

"This dog has obsessive-compulsive disorder about cleanliness?"

Yingyi was shocked upon hearing this, "Miss, what are you saying?"

"It's okay, he can't hear."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a man's voice came from inside the room, "I'm not deaf."

"Haha, alright, I was just joking with you, little guard."

He chuckled twice, then turned and hurried away.
