Chapter 187 (1/2)

Having left the capital, the diplomatic er under the contearrison co the officials of the Overwatch Council, seemed to be more at ease

It was March, and as they headed north, the re scenery became overnreeted them They all knew that the diplomatic mission was headed for Northern Qi, and so no local official dared to slight the the officials of the diplomatic mission was the illustrious Master Fan, so every official who greeted theh they did not dare delay the ood company at every stop, and endless flattery of Fan Xian at the banquet table

It was at this point that Fan Xian finally realized just how far his reputation had spread throughout the Kingdo He could not help but feel elated, and at the start he could not say no to each banquet But as they continued on, he inevitably grew tired of them, and each tier write poetry It was quite troubleso; he found the elegant dancing of the singing girls at the banquets was very entertaining At each stop, the local eht was ecstasy, and the things they got up to far surpassed anything he could have done with his aging wife back in the capital

But these sorts of arrangements did not interest Fan Xian, because the diplomatic mission included one woht of constantly: Si Lili, the radually lost interest in attending the banquets, only stopping to chat with those high officials ere old friends of his father More often he stayed at the diplomatic mission's encampment: he could keep a close watch over Xiao En, and also spend ers, they had left the capital around half a o In that half month on the road, Fan Xian had spentrather tired of spending time with all thewith a beautiful woman?

Si Lili carefully peeled the skin and scraped the pith fro the flesh into Fan Xian's mouth

Fan Xian was the most senior in the diplomatic mission, and the officials of the Overwatch Council followed hier Guards were even more devoted No matter what he did, no one would dare say a word

But as Fan Xian closed his eyes and slowly chewed the orange, he found hi of his sister In the capital, Ruoruo had also often fed hiht of his wife Wan'er, left at hoap in his eyelids, he secretly watched Si Lili as she prepared the oranges He began to feel somewhat uneasy

In truth, on this journey, he and Si Lili had not done anything; they had si hours They rarely even brought up theOf course, occasionally there was theof hands, the watching of scenery outside the

”What are you thinking?” Seeing Fan Xian's dumbfounded look, Si Lili smiled sweetly In these days of contact, all she had seen was Fan Xian's gentle and exquisite face She had faintly forgotten the horrors of being taken advantage of as a feeble wo wo in the carriage Deep in her heart, she secretly wished the trip would never end

”I was thinking, uh you've recuperated pretty well over the past few days Your figure is co back” Fan Xian teased her ”When I touched you once we'd just left the capital it htly ”Then don't touchher wrist and pulling her into his embrace His palms slowly caressed her body ”Don't you like it?” he said quietly

”I was born under an ill-fated star After all, I was bullied by you, drugged by you in the pleasure boat, tore, I cannot escape your clutches” Si Lili said all of this while leaning on Fan Xian's chest The young entle and war her clothing andonto her buttocks Her heart skipped a beat, her crihtly, and she breathed into Fan Xian's ear

Fan Xian's ear turned warht into his pal voice soft as silk, quietly gasping in his ear ”Do you want ”

Soe smile on his face

There was a poison in Si Lili's body, a slow acting drug In the past few days of their close contact, Fan Xian had ascertained this early on It seemed that the Overwatch Council had planted it in advance

The poison was one that Fan Xian had seen in the book Fei Jie had left him, but he had never seen it in practice The poison would slowly spread through the woman's body, and then could be spread by contact with a man All that was needed was for the Emperor of Northern Qi to be intimate with Si Lili, and then he would contract the poison The symptoms would look just like a sexually transmitted disease

No wonder Chen Pingping had been so serious about the matter Operation Red Sleeve was not a copy of Xi shi+'s infiltration of the Kingdo plot

The poison was not untreatable, but it could effectively weaken the target's body and nerves Just think If Si Lili was truly a favorite of the Ehts of passion, perhaps he would very quickly fall ill The factions of the royal court of Northern Qi were gravely opposed to each other If he were to fall gravely ill, perhaps the political situation of Northern Qi would fall into chaos once hed Si Lili knew that there was poison in her body, but she presumed that it was only a way for the Overwatch Council to control her She didn't know that she could transmit it to the men that she liked

He felt so had not told hi his close contact with Si Lili, then he would not have discovered it Of course, even if he had contracted the poison, he could treat it quickly, but this feeling of secrecy was still not good
