What bad thoughts could a genius doctor have?

Chapter 199: Each Has His Own Obsession

The messenger crow raised by the ghost doctor has not come to deliver a message to Shi Zhou for ten consecutive days.

Shi Zhou couldn't help but think, did Emperor Jianxing go to see a ghost doctor?
Those two seemed to be the most noble people in their respective worlds. I wonder who would be at a disadvantage if they met.

When it comes to killing people, the ghost doctor is naturally better. After all, she is the best poisoner in the world, and countless people have died from her poison.

If Emperor Jianxing went to the meeting without knowing anything, he would definitely be ambushed.

But Shi Zhou had already reminded Emperor Jianxing in advance. For a shrewd and suspicious person like Emperor Jianxin, he must have been prepared. Otherwise, how could the emperor easily die, especially when he knew that the other party was good at using poison.

Therefore, Shi Zhou vaguely felt that the Ghost Doctor was most likely trapped somewhere by Emperor Jianxing, just like how Emperor Jianxing wanted to imprison him underground in order to force her to create immortality.

Shi Zhou knew the Ghost Doctor very well. After all, she had been living with the Ghost Doctor in Wushan since she was a child, and she knew exactly what kind of temper her master had.

Even for Senior Brother Yu Ze, it was impossible for the Ghost Doctor to not show up for more than ten days in a row, let alone let crows or trusted disciples deliver the message, and he even stopped feeding the poisonous insects with his heart blood.

This is such a rare situation, there is only one possibility that something has happened to the ghost doctor.

The venerable man in the secluded mountains and forests will either capture the most precious emperor in the world or be captured by the other party. It all depends on who comes to him first.

Thinking of this, Shi Zhou couldn't help but chuckle. She was really curious now, which of the two nobles would come to see her first.

Just when Shi Zhou was confused, the third person came to find her.

Mu Xuan appeared in the villa again in the middle of the night.

Shi Zhou was startled. He lowered his voice and asked, "Why are you here again? The emperor has always sent his trusted aides to guard this place. Aren't you afraid of being discovered and having your head chopped off?"

After all, the emperor now attaches great importance to Shizhou Pharmaceutical, and he is afraid that someone will let Shizhou go.

Mu Xuan didn't say anything, he just dragged Shi Zhou into the house, closed the door, and turned off the lights in the house.

Mu Xuan said: "Shi Zhou, I came here to tell you something."

Shi Zhou's heart skipped a beat. He intuitively felt that what Mu Xuan was going to say might be related to the ghost doctor: "Does the emperor want to take a concubine?"

Mu Xuan was stunned. "Who sent you the letter? How did you know? Could it be that... the emperor's plan to take a concubine has something to do with you?"

Shi Zhou glanced at him and asked, "Do you know who the emperor wants to marry? What's her name and where does she live?"

Mu Xuan said: "The emperor hid the woman very well. Even the Empress Dowager had never seen her, let alone other outsiders. However, just like before, he was opposed by the ministers as soon as he proposed it. The emperor was in a heated argument with the ministers."

Shi Zhou: "The emperor is truly the most willful person in the world."

Mu Xuan: "Several major families in the capital have jointly petitioned the emperor to give up the idea of ​​taking a concubine, but it seems that the emperor is more urgent and insistent this time than last time. Do you know why?"

Shi Zhou said: "The emperor imprisoned me here because he believed that I was an immortal from the otherworldly world. The person the emperor wanted to marry was from the same place as me and was very familiar to me. You have even seen her."

When Shi Zhou said this, Mu Xuan's eyebrows jumped suddenly: "Your master! Ghost Doctor Fu Tu!" It goes without saying that the person who can make the emperor ignore the opposition of his ministers and propose an incredible thing must be someone who is related to immortality.

Shi Zhou nodded: "That's right."

Mu Xuan: "How does the emperor know your master's name and where he is? How does he know where he comes from?"

Before he finished speaking, Mu Xuan paused, looked at Shi Zhou and asked, "Could it be you...?"

Shi Zhou admitted: "It was me. Whether it's Master or the Emperor, it would be easy for any of them to kill me. In terms of poison, I can't be more poisonous than the Ghost Doctor. In terms of life and death, I am an ant in the hands of the Emperor. Anyone can take my life."

At this point, Shi Zhou snorted coldly: "But how can I just sit there and wait for death? I always have to think about myself. Fortunately, I still have something valuable to do. I have a pair of poisonous insects in my hand. My master wants them, and the emperor wants them too. In this case, let them fight each other. It would be best if both sides are broken and bloody, and both are injured."

Mu Xuan: "You are quite courageous, aren't you afraid that they will find out and kill you at the same time?"

Shi Zhou chuckled, "How could that be? They can't bear to part with these poisonous insects. The ghost doctor wants to use the poisonous insects to save Senior Brother Yuze, and the emperor wants to use the pair of poisonous insects to prolong his life. They both have their own ulterior motives and obsessions. They won't be willing to kill me. Anyway, we're just sitting here doing nothing, why not have some fun?"

Mu Xuan sighed softly: "I originally wanted to pass on a message to you and take a look at your current situation. I didn't expect to get a lot of information from you."

Shi Zhou: "I don't want to bother you all the time. I'm fine. Don't worry."

Mu Xuan took a step forward, lowering his eyes slightly. His eyes were surprisingly bright in the darkness. "I have spies here. If you are in trouble, put a bunch of grass on the east wall. Someone will see it and tell me, and I will know your situation. Now your master is eyeing you covetously. If you go out, it will be disadvantageous to you. If you stay here first, the emperor will naturally protect you and will not let the ghost doctor hurt you in the slightest."

"The situation is unstable now, and the court officials are furious. It is not the right time yet. When the time is right, I will come to take you out of the palace."

Shi Zhou glanced at him, not understanding what "the time is right" meant. After all, as long as the emperor was alive, he would never let her go unless she died.

However, after Mu Xuan said this, Shi Zhou didn't say much.

She really only believed in herself, but if someone could give her some help, it wouldn't be a bad thing. After all, she didn't want to be trapped in a place like the palace for the rest of her life.

There was a gentle knock on the door, reminding Mu Xuan that the time had come and he should go back.

Before leaving, Mu Xuan suddenly held her hand and said, "I'll go first. I'll come to see you another day. Don't worry. The emperor is in poor health recently and can't do anything. He can't have sex with you. You must protect yourself and don't deliberately provoke the emperor to make him angry..."

Shi Zhou agreed: "I know, don't worry."

Mu Xuan: "Then... I'm leaving."

Shi Zhou: "Go ahead and tell Prince Ning and the princess that I am safe, so they don't have to worry. Just tell them that I am eating and drinking well here, and that I have people to take care of my food and clothing. It is much more carefree than being outside the palace."

Mu Xuan: "...Okay, I'll report back."

As Mu Xuan spoke, he reluctantly let go of Shi Zhou's hand, walked out of the yard, and quickly disappeared into the night.

The door was closed again only after Shi Zhou and others left.

Next, she concentrated on waiting for the next person to come and see her!
