Hou Ye's palm heart is a black lotus

Chapter 752 Interception (First Update)
The servant panicked and hurriedly defended himself, "Your Highness, please understand! I have absolutely no selfish motives! It's just... it's just that her status is special. If this matter causes a rift between her and Your Highness, then... then..."

Xiao Chenglin's gaze was like a cold sword hanging over his head, making him tremble with fear.

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Chenglin finally withdrew his gaze and spoke calmly.

"I understand. Then I will go and tell her that the situation is tense and it is not advisable to take any action. In a few days, I will find an opportunity to let the Southern Hu delegation meet before they leave the capital and remove the life-and-death curse from her body."

The servant finally relaxed, letting out a long sigh of relief. "Yes! I'll take care of it right away!"

Xiao Chenglin waved his hand, and he didn't dare to linger any longer. He got up and respectfully withdrew.

squeak-

The door closed, and the room returned to its usual silence.

Xiao Chenglin raised his hand and gently pressed a spot under the table.

The wall beside them suddenly flipped up, revealing a dark entrance to a secret passage.

At the same time, a thin man wearing a mask appeared in the shadows.

What are your orders?

Xiao Chenglin said calmly, "A dog that doesn't recognize its master doesn't need to be kept any longer."

The masked man didn't ask any further questions, clearly knowing what he meant, and simply bowed his head respectfully in agreement.

"My subordinate understands."

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure quickly disappeared from the spot.

The wall was restored to its original state, showing no signs of abnormality.

……

After leaving the Prince Jing's residence, the servant headed south of the city.

After walking through bustling streets and making several turns, he finally stopped in front of an inconspicuous pharmacy.

The pharmacy had a small, old storefront that looked like it had been around for many years, and there weren't many customers at the moment.

He went inside.

A middle-aged man was standing in front of the medicine cabinet, sorting through the medicinal herbs that were about to get moldy.

Hearing the noise, he casually asked, "Here to get medicine?"

The servant called out his name, "Boss Ba."

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Bashar finally turned around, a look of surprise flashing across his face.

"How come it's happened so quickly again—"

As he was speaking, he suddenly paused and glanced warily towards the door a few times.

"Don't worry, no one saw me come here," the attendant said. "His Highness has something to tell her."

Bashar immediately understood, but still cautiously walked over, locked the door of the pharmacy from the inside, and then turned around and said, "The person is in the backyard, you can go directly there."

The servant nodded and went inside.

The pharmacy was small, but it was connected to a courtyard at the back.

To an outsider, it would be extremely difficult to notice.

At the same moment, the woman who was lying in the house pretending to be asleep heard the noise in the yard, immediately opened her eyes, got up and went to the window.

The doors and windows here are all locked from the outside, so she can't get out on her own. At most, she can see a little bit of the scenery outside through the cracks in the windows.

She pressed both hands tightly against the window, wishing she could see more clearly. Her face was thin and pale, and faint veins were visible on her hands.

Even in this state, which can be described as emaciated, her beauty was still undeniable.

Tormented by the Gu poison within her body for so long, her physical condition had deteriorated to an extreme degree. Her cheeks were so thin that they were slightly sunken, making her faintly blue eyes appear even larger.

At first glance, it looks exactly like a beautiful skeletal female ghost that only appears in fantasy novels.

If this person is not Xiao Lanxi, who faked her death and escaped from the palace, then who is she?
She was no longer the same as she used to be, but a beauty is still a beauty, and even after so much suffering, she still retained a touch of glamour.

Especially when she shows a pitiful expression, it is even more captivating.

When she saw who it was, a look of disappointment flashed across her anxious face, but the next second, she put on an expectant and longing expression, and her eyes even overflowed with joy.

The servant clearly saw her too, and immediately quickened his pace to the window.

—Only Bashar has the key, and the door won't be opened easily when messages are being exchanged.

Xiao Lanxi's voice was weak and hoarse, clearly as thin as a spider's thread yet carrying an indescribable softness, gently hooking people like a feather.

"How did he say?"

Xiao Lanxi tried her best to control her emotions, but her slightly forward-leaning body still betrayed her eagerness.
"Would he allow me to meet with that person?"

She was utterly fed up with the gloomy, hopeless life here!
Even if she can't get out for a while, it would be good for her to rest and recover!

Otherwise, if they stay here all day, what's the difference between them and prisoners?
"I'm afraid that's not possible now." As soon as the servant spoke, the light in Xiao Lanxi's eyes instantly went out.

"Why? It's just one meeting, it won't take long! I, I—"

Her health can't continue like this!
The attendant quickly reassured him, "Please don't worry. His Highness said that things are tense lately, and it's indeed not the right time. In a few days, when the Southern Hu delegation is about to leave, he will find a way to arrange a meeting between you to remove the poison from your body."

Xiao Lanxi's eyes lit up, "Really?"

The attendant nodded, "It's true! That's why I came all this way—" relaying the good news.

Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly realized something was wrong and turned around abruptly!
The door leading to the front hall of the pharmacy was opened again, but the person who appeared was not Bashar, but a man wearing a black robe and a black mask!
Upon seeing that person, Chang Sui's pupils constricted sharply!
An indescribable, profound fear welled up inside him, even causing his body to tremble slightly.

"You...how did you get here..."

laugh--!
Before he could finish speaking, a piercing sound of something cutting through the air rang out!

Chang Sui suddenly felt a cool sensation in his throat.

He slowly raised his hand and touched his neck.

It is cold in texture and sharp.

It was a Mitsubishi dart.

He had seen it before, but only on other people; he never expected it to happen to him today.

The red silk cloth at the end fluttered gently in the wind, brushing against his neck and tickling him a little.

Then it becomes sticky.

Blood gushed from his throat, quickly soaking the triangular dart and even making the silk cloth on it heavy.

Tick.

Blood drips.

His body slowly fell backward.

boom--!
