C88 (2/2)
Although he was reluctant, he had already spoken, so he could only resentfully let go of her hand.
Leaving the warmth of her hand, his palm was empty, once again cold.
”We will slowly walk back to the capital and enter the palace.”
The two left the East Mountain at a leisurely pace, heading for the city gate.
”This King has a secret. Regarding you, if you have something you can exchange with, This King can reluctantly tell you.”
Upon hearing the word secret, Su Li subconsciously refused!
However, this secret was related to her. Her curiosity was piqued.
However, the only things she could take out were the autopsy and acupuncture!
She couldn't give him a promise. If one day he got a GG, would she try to be gentle when she examined his corpse?
”My acupuncture is not bad, detoxifying and recuperating …”
”This King seems like someone who needs to rest?”
”I remember that you said that you were severely injured and your inner force retreated. I have a prescription that can help you heal your internal injuries, repair your meridians, and recover your inner force.”
”How long will it take?”
”Give me a needle every three days, seven times in a row.”
Mo Lianjin's gaze turned deep. He was just worrying that he could not find the right time to make it back to his peak, so Su Li's words came at the right time.
”Deal.”
”What is my secret?”
”The tail behind you, should be a spy from the palace …” Mo Lianjin did not make his words too clear.
”That person followed me into the palace?” Su Li understood immediately, ”It's someone from the Emperor An?”
But why did the Emperor An send someone to follow her?
With regards to the Precious Moon House, aside from showing that she had the ability to examine corpses, what else would be worthy of Emperor An's suspicion?
Could it be …
Su Li's pupils contracted, the word Jiu Du surfaced in her mind.
That day, Su Lincheng punished her with a punishment from the family, and the rod was tainted with Dove Poison.
She was still alive and well. As the one in charge of the Emperor An, she would definitely think that there was something wrong with her.
That bitter poison, apart from threatening her to do things properly, had also concealed a deeper meaning to probe her.
Such ruthlessness!
However, this was not the main point!
Su Li stopped in his tracks, and looked around cautiously, ”Since you know that the tail is from the Emperor An, why did you only remind me now?”
If the Emperor An could not wait for the appointed time and the people from the Emperor An were to search for Tang Rufeng first, would she still want her little life?
Mo Lianjin grabbed her by the collar and pulled her back.
”When I went to the butcher's in the west of the city, I left him behind.”
Su Li: ”...”
After a moment of silence, Su Li then sent him a sentence filled with grievance, ”Don't think that I will forgive you for dragging me into this.”
The corner of Mo Lianjin's mouth twitched. He was the one who set this up, but the person who pulled her in was obviously Emperor An …
The two of them entered the city. The inside of the city was empty. All the citizens had rushed to the entrance of the palace.
Su Li stepped forward and followed Mo Lianjin into the Imperial Study.
Soon, the time limit for the tick mark would be reached.
Su Li lowered his eyes, and bowed with an anxious expression.
”This subject's daughter pays her respects to the emperor!”
”This son greets father.”
Emperor An sat on the throne, his expression solemn and his eyes glaring.
What a great Su Li, what a great Mo Lianjin …
The two of them shook off the Shadow Guard and entered the palace while the bitter poison was in effect.
Su Li maintained the posture of bowing and the intense pain in his chest began to spread.
The time for the poison to break out has finally arrived …
