Chapter 201

Xu Qiuyue stood far away.

She looked at Concubine Li's lowered head.

She knew that Concubine Li had passed away.

Xu Qiuyue knew that Miaolian was also proficient in medicine.

If Concubine Li had taken the poison in advance, Miaolian would definitely notice it.

Another thing is that Xu Qiuyue didn't want to secretly poison Concubine Li.

So Xu Qiuyue disguised herself and entered Concubine Li's bedroom, pulled out one of Concubine Li's big teeth, and replaced it with a poison sac.

Concubine Li has been in the palace for decades, how could she not know anything?

All the previous imperial concubines had their property confiscated and their families exterminated.

No exceptions.

And Concubine Li herself felt a little guilty.

She also cheated.

She was worried that Emperor Sheng would find out the truth.

Even though Emperor Sheng was old, she was still afraid.

But she didn't want to die. She felt that if she relied on Emperor Sheng, she didn't know when she would be able to get pregnant.

So Concubine Li chose to take a gamble.

What's more, she was pregnant with the blood of the Xuan family.

If it were in his previous life, Xuan Jiuqing would never have agreed to Concubine Li.

But now, Xuan Jiuqing is at his wits' end.

However, he did not expect that this would cause Concubine Li to die tragically a few years earlier.

Xu Qiuyue closed her eyes and silently mourned for Concubine Li in her heart.

No matter who of the remaining princes ascends the throne, even if it is Xuan Jiuqing.

Her life would not be in immediate danger.

Because those people are still young.

But Emperor Sheng was different. He was already old, and he still had to take elixirs every day. All medicines are poisonous. After taking elixirs for more than 20 years, his body had already collapsed.

It's a miracle to be alive now.

But Xu Qiuyue knew that Emperor Sheng's martial arts skills were extraordinary.

Although he is old, he is not inferior to King Ning'an.

Therefore, the poison Xu Qiuyue used was a strange one that killed people instantly on contact with blood.

The poison is extremely strong, and only in this way can we ensure that it will not lose its effect in Concubine Li's blood.

Xu Qiuyue didn't dare to use chronic poison.

What if Emperor Sheng gets forced into a corner and insists on using her blood for a sacrifice to him?
The best way is to die immediately, die right away, without taking a moment to breathe.

This is also the reason why Xu Qiuyue has been conscientiously refining pills for Emperor Sheng these days.

There is nothing wrong with these pills, and Xu Qiuyue can test them herself with a clear conscience.

Because the real poison is in Concubine Li's body.

Xu Qiuyue must prove her worth. Only in this way can she ensure that Emperor Sheng will not kill her.

She has to live.

The real killer move lies with Concubine Li.

The colorless and odorless poison carefully selected by Xu Qiuyue could not be detected even by a silver needle.

Xu Qiuyue secretly hoped that Miaolian could refine a peerless elixir as soon as possible.

The next scene was even bloodier.

After all of Concubine Li's blood had been shed.

Miaolian opened Concubine Li's belly and took out the child.

They actually used living people to make elixirs. Even though she was far away, Xu Qiuyue felt chilled.

Xu Qiuyue didn't peek at the rest.

Xu Qiuyue returned to the palace where she lived.

Xiangzhuang is in seclusion making elixirs.

The maid knocked on Xu Qiuyue's door. Lu Yuan would visit Xu Qiuyue every day after court.

Xu Qiuyue knew that Lu Yuan had come.

"The prince has taken your parents away. I wanted to help, but he has already let them leave the mansion. I need to take care of them."

"No need to bother them. It's a time of trouble, and I'm afraid there are people around them who care about them.

My parents have long regarded me as the blood witch's child.

Even if they are close, I am afraid they have ulterior motives."

Xu Qiuyue instructed Lu Yuan.

Xu Qiuyue had given Xu's mother three thousand taels of silver before. Xu Qiuyue believed that with this money, they could live a good life in the capital.

Another thing is that having less contact is also for the safety of Xu's father and mother.

"Qiuyue, have you been doing well in the palace these days?"

"Li Guifei is dead. She was bled to death. The baby in her belly was dug out and used to make elixirs. The alchemy talent I have shown these days has made His Majesty quite satisfied with me. He rejected the high priest's wish to make elixirs with Li Guifei together."

Xu Qiuyue said to Lu Yuan indifferently.

But these words made Lu Yuan feel frightened.

This palace is so dangerous.

It was he who personally brought Xu Qiuyue in.

"You don't have to worry. I've been living well in the palace recently, and my life is not in danger for the time being. You should first investigate the matter of your father and mother!

The Blood Witch's past is no longer important."

Xu Qiuyue's calm voice sounded deadly to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan grabbed Xu Qiuyue's hands, took out a book from his arms and handed it to Xu Qiuyue.

"Qiuyue, don't worry, I have already found out what the Blood Witch's Immortal Fountain looks like.

The Blood Witch's Immortal Fountain has a strong smell of blood and is blood red in color. It is said that the younger the blood of the closest relatives used, the better the effect of refining it will be. Combined with sea pearls, it forms a bath soup, and soaking in it can rejuvenate.

In recent years, Your Majesty is not the only one who wants to regain youth.

So I finally found the method of refining it.

What's more, this method was openly spread by the Blood Witch at the banquet.

She wanted everyone at the banquet to be childless.

This refining method is real, and this immortal spring is really effective.

It’s just very difficult to refine it successfully.

But when people are dying, they don’t want to die even more.

Back then, the Blood Witch acted very arrogantly. Although no one was around, many people collected the Blood Witch's refining method. "

There are some things Lu Yuan didn't say.

He felt that Emperor Sheng’s prince might not have been killed by the Crown Prince or the Blood Witch.

In the early days, the Blood Witch made a bold statement and was determined to slaughter the nine clans of Emperor Sheng.

Therefore, no one doubted that the princes died at the hands of the Blood Witch.

Later, the crown prince was afraid that other princes would take his throne, so he killed many of them. Although it was absurd, no one suspected it.

But at the moment.

However, Lu Yuan suspected that these people might have been killed by Emperor Sheng.

Lu Yuan didn't know what Xu Qiuyue was planning at this time.

Xu Qiuyue felt that Emperor Sheng was about to die, so naturally she had no intention of collecting these secret books.

Besides, Xu Qiuyue didn't want to refine such a disgusting pill.

She doesn't want to.

"Qiuyue, don't worry. I will advise His Majesty to let you go home to recuperate. You can make pills at home by then. The Lu Mansion has been rebuilt."

Lu Yuan comforted Xu Qiuyue.

Xu Qiuyue thought about it and felt that staying in the Lu Mansion was better than staying in the Imperial Palace, as the security there was tight.

If something happens, it will be inconvenient to escape. It is better to go back than to stay here.

"Thank you, husband."

"I was thinking, after this matter is over, we will return to Beihai City and never get involved in the disturbances in the capital again."

Lu Yuan said to Xu Qiuyue.
