Chapter 2377 Leak
"My lady, Dongfang Shuo has left with Miss Aqiao!"

"He didn't make a fuss after he found out about the situation?"

"No more noise!"

In the meeting hall of the Huainan Palace, Liu Ling, who was a man of great practice, rarely wore a long fox fur coat.

She wrapped her long clothes tightly, took another sip of the red liquid in the bowl, and then frowned tightly.

"It's good that there's no noise!"

After hearing Li Shang's report, Liu Ling breathed a sigh of relief, with a hint of fear on his face.

The Eight-Step Immortality Pill was sent back to Shouchun City through communication. While the King of Huainan was greatly impressed by it, he also made extremely harsh criticisms of Liu Ling.

If those with great luck could rob people so easily, then we could just become robbers.

Using magic to exploit and seize is different from Zhang Xuezhou's initiative to give it to others. The latter will not cause any trouble, and if there is appropriate feedback, it can also increase the relationship between the two parties, while the former is likely to induce vicious problems.

Liu Ling did not believe this in the past, but this was the fate of Zuo Wu, Mao Bei and others who were lying in hospital with broken bones.

She even suffered the backlash of her charm and had to calm down and adjust for a while.

"Zuo Wu, Mao Bei, Tian You, and Su Fei were injured, and Miss Aqiao, who served you, was also sent away. My lady, our Huainan Palace has never suffered such a humiliating loss. Do you want to..."

Li Shang made a gesture.

Li Shang was not targeting Zhang Xuezhou, his gesture was clearly directed at Zhenyuan Shenjun.

No matter what kind of cultivator he is, no matter how strong his cultivation is, he still needs to rest and sleep. It is difficult for him to resist the continuous attacks by despicable means.

As for the Huainan Palace, they are not short of talents in this area.

As long as the order is given, there will always be someone who can find Zhenyuan Shenjun and subdue him.

If the King of Huainan takes action personally, it may even be possible to see the results quickly.

Li Shang asked in a low voice, which made Liu Ling's face turn slightly red.

"What Mr. Li said makes some sense." Liu Ling coughed and continued, "But Mr. Li, have you ever thought that maybe Dongfang Shuo got lucky again and got the protection of such a master?"

"You mean?"

"If we can become friendly friends with each other, perhaps our Huainan Palace will be able to borrow the help of such a master!"

After Liu Ling finished coughing, she thought about the strange Taoist with a young face but silver hair, and her heart couldn't help but beat violently several times.

The Huainan Palace prides itself on being a gathering place for the best minds in the world, and it also houses many leaders of various schools of thought.

Although the schools these people belonged to were destroyed, each of them was considered to be extremely talented, and some of them were even arrogant because of their talent.

The first-class guest officials are the elites selected from this group of elites. The strength of people like Tian You is not inferior to that of the top officials of the court.

But Tian You and others couldn't withstand a single blow from the opponent, and were simply beaten seriously injured.

Liu Ling had never heard of such a master. She felt that if she could recruit him for her own use, it would undoubtedly be a powerful weapon.

It was inconvenient for her to invite Zhang Xuezhou, but it was easy for her to send someone out to keep an eye on Zhang Xuezhou.

It was a bit of a coincidence, but it was also a coincidence that Liu Ling directly sent his trusted maid out.

Even if she couldn't make friends with Zhenyuan Shenjun, with Aqiao keeping an eye on Zhang Xuezhou, Liu Ling would at least be able to find out when Zhang Xuezhou got lucky again, and it would be convenient for her to ask for it again.

Not to mention anything else, the secret recipe of the Eight-Step Immortality Pill alone is enough to resist all losses.

As long as Tian You and others were not beaten to death, Liu Ling felt that he had won.

"You are good at alchemy, and Dongfang Shuo is also familiar with the alchemy skills of the Yin-Yang School. You should visit his home more often in the future." Liu Ling said, "His illness is a good reason to visit him. You can also bring some elixirs to show your goodwill. It will also be a good thing for you to sit and talk!"

"My lady is right!"

Li Shang nodded, and his words quickly changed according to Liu Ling's instructions. Unlike Li Shang's imagination, Liu Ling seemed to be very open-minded, and even enthusiastically planned to borrow strength, and planted a nail while treating Zhang Xuezhou.

As the eldest maidservant beside Liu Ling, Aqiao experienced the ups and downs of her parents' official career. She gained a new life in despair and was instilled with many ideas. She was as loyal as a death warrior. Not to mention sacrificing her body, it was normal for her to even sacrifice her life for the Huainan Palace.

If Zhang Xuezhou lived longer, the other party would have found a good partner. If Zhang Xuezhou died young, the other party could return to the Huainan Palace in the future.

The Huainan Palace treated Aqiao well, and it was also a powerful royal family of the princes, so it was almost impossible for Aqiao to betray them.

Liu Ling waved his hand, signaling Li Shang to leave.

"By the way, how long do I have to drink bitter water to eliminate the backlash in my body?"

When Li Shang bowed slightly and took his leave, Liu Ling took another sip of the medicine in the bowl, and then asked Li Shang who was leaving.

"This one……"

"If you want to say it, just say it. Why are you hesitating like that?"

Li Shang hesitated slightly, while Liu Ling was somewhat displeased.

"My lady, this solitary yin cannot last long. You have been harmed by this technique. If you don't learn Dongfang Shuo's quick solution, you will probably have to drink Qingxin Soup for a year or so!"

Li Shang responded with gritted teeth. When Liu Ling shouted "get out", he had no choice but to take his leave in disappointment and quickly left the hall.

"If I look for a mediocre man to solve my physical problems, I might as well drink bitter medicine for a year or two!"

After driving Li Shang away, Liu Ling picked up the medicine in the bowl and drank it in one gulp.

It was so bitter that the corners of his eyes trembled repeatedly. After two lines of tears kept flowing down, Liu Ling felt that his heart was shaken for a moment. Suddenly, he felt that it would not be bad to solve the backlash of magic as simply as Zhang Xuezhou did.

Moreover, the one or two years that Li Shang mentioned was probably an underestimation, and the actual medication period was likely to be longer.

"As long as the man is not too bad, let him take advantage of you!"

As a princess, Liu Ling had very high standards for choosing a spouse.

As for using people as medicine to treat diseases, she felt that the conditions could be more relaxed. As long as they were young, handsome, able to write poems and compose essays, and had considerable cultivation strength...

After removing the family background requirement with great difficulty, Liu Ling felt that there were only a few people who met the requirement.

It’s not that there were no such talents in the Han Dynasty, but that such people already had three wives and four concubines, or even a group of wives and concubines, so it was obviously impossible for them to be her lover.

This forced Liu Ling to lower the lower limit again.

"Are all the good men in the world dead?"

After she thought about it, she felt that there were very few people who met her requirements.

"If Dongfang Shuo hadn't had his head cut open, and if we didn't know how long he could live, he would be a good match. Especially since Li Shang said he was still a Yang body, he must have spent all his time practicing in recent years. There are very few men like him in the world..."

The bamboo slips were spread out and Liu Ling wrote a bunch of names.

Some of them are old, some have bad habits, some are ugly with yellow teeth and smelly mouths, but most of them are already married, so it is not convenient for her to hook up with them, let alone get married.

Thinking about Zhang Xuezhou who left the Huainan Palace, Liu Ling also felt that Zhang Xuezhou was equally regrettable.

Compared to many people, Zhang Xuezhou met 90% of Liu Ling's requirements, but his only flaw was unbearable.

"He is such a loophole. Everything is good except the crucial part!"

Just as the King of Huainan said, Zhang Xuezhou had all kinds of good luck, but he just couldn't hold it all in.

Liu Ling felt that Zhang Xuezhou was good in every way, except that his short life span was a fatal flaw. No woman who had the right to choose her own spouse would choose a man like him.

Even if he used the other party as medicine, Liu Ling was afraid that Zhang Xuezhou would die suddenly in his bed.

She thought for more than ten seconds, crossed out Zhang Xuezhou's name written on the bamboo slip, and had to lower her standards again.
