Zhutian: My skills are not serious

Chapter 389 Let's get an injection, the kind that cures all diseases
Chen Pingping continued, "I went west this time and did a detailed investigation. There is no tribe called 'Zhu Hua' on the grassland, and the Western Hu masters have never heard of the deeds of Grandmaster Bai Feng, so I doubt whether Chu Pingsheng's Grandmaster Master really exists."

This was the cause of his conflict with Emperor Qing, and also the key to his failure.

In his opinion, how could Emperor Qing, a useless man whose meridians were completely destroyed after practicing the domineering true qi, confirm Bai Feng's identity as a grandmaster? What if he was a fake? Based on the previous situation, the white ape was only at the ninth rank, and had its own shadow entangled him. Chu Pingsheng, who was at most at the eighth rank, Yan Ruohai and the deputy commander of the Black Cavalry, Jing Ge, took action. Are they afraid that they can't control the situation?
Of course, more importantly, he had to do this to protect Fan Xian. Once Si Lili was obtained by Chu Pingsheng, it was possible that the secret that Fan Xian knew the truth about the Niulan Street assassination would be revealed, and he would lose Lin Wan'er's love.

God knows what happened to Shadow. He was killed by the white ape in the street even though he had the same fighting power as him. The situation was beyond his control.

"Humph, the grassland tribes don't have any, but what about the northern barbarians?"

Emperor Qing glanced at Chen Pingping without comment. With his instigation, everyone now believed that the assassination of the empress dowager was done by the Northern Qi grandmaster Ku He who pretended to be Si Gu Jian of Dongyi. After all, the Qi-protecting body skill that blocked Yan Xiaoyi's sharp arrow was Ku He's specialty, and the sword energy that cut through the high wall was Si Gu Jian's unique move.

Even Chen Pingping thinks so.

But the actual situation is that it was Bai Feng who did it. Whether Bai Feng is a grandmaster or not, how could he, who is also a grandmaster, not know?
But the problem is that Chen Pingping doesn't know that he is a grandmaster.

"Northern barbarians..."

Chen Pingping said: "I will dispatch new personnel to investigate."

After saying this, he said goodbye and turned his wheelchair to leave.

"and many more."

"His Majesty."

"You...didn't do anything to Si Lili?"

Chen Pingping's expression froze.

"The Third Department of the Overwatch Council put poison in the food and water of the Protocol Court at that time, which would only cause diarrhea. Even if the imperial physician went, he would only say that it was due to acclimatization, right?"

"His Majesty!"

"Want to test his weaknesses? That's Yan Ruohai's trick."

"Your Majesty, I will send someone to deliver the antidote right away."

"Humph!"

Li Yunqian said: "Don't think that I am helping him. I... am saving your lives. This boy is more dangerous than you think."

Chen Pingping narrowed his eyes like a venomous snake, bowed and took his leave.

Coming out of the imperial study, he noticed that Crown Prince Li Chengqian was still kneeling under the eaves, with two eunuchs serving him carefully beside him. Looking at the sweat on his forehead and his body leaning to one side, it seemed that he could hardly kneel any longer.

In fact, in this matter, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is more wronged than anyone else.

……

The next day, two orioles stood on the branches, chirping crisply. A plain black cat approached from the south wall on tiptoe. Suddenly, it leaped up and pounced on the oriole that was closest to it, which had yellow fur all over its body and only a few black feathers on its wings.

Whoosh.

Something shot out from the window of the west wing and hit the black cat's paw.

Ouch.

The cat somersaulted in the air and landed steadily on the ground, its neck fur fluttering as it whined at the window of the west wing, but the oriole on the branch had already flown away.

Uh...

Uh...

"Get out of here! If you dare to scold me again, I will let Lanling Wang tear you to pieces."

The black cat glared at the face on the other side of the window, then slowly lowered its bent body, turned its head, swept its tail left and right on the ground, and walked away with cat steps.

Si Lili pushed the gauze curtain covering the bed open a little and looked at the shirtless man wearing only a pair of trousers with a dazed look on his face.

It is for the beautiful night last night, and also for the Shura scene in front of the Supervisory Council yesterday evening.

It is hard to imagine that this man who can save birds and argue with black cats is the man who is so cold-blooded that he allowed the white ape to kill more than a hundred black knights in one breath.

"Get up when you wake up, don't lie in bed."

Si Lili blushed and quickly withdrew her hand from pushing aside the veil: "You...you bring my clothes over."

"Last night we saw everything we should have seen, touched everything we should have touched, and kissed everything we should have kissed. Why be so reserved?"

"You...why are you like this!"

Si Lili turned her head inward and bit her lower lip, wanting to say that you forced me, but what should she do if he asked her why she didn't resist in the morning this time?
"so troublesome."

Chu Pingsheng picked up the clothes that he had thrown on the ground, lifted the gauze curtain, and put them on the quilt.

Si Lili leaned sideways to grab it, but was forced to stand still by him with brute force. She was met with a pair of half-smiling eyes and a face that was slowly approaching.

"You... want more?"

"Forget it. I'll let you off this time." Chu Pingsheng pinched her chin just like he did last night, scratched her smooth red lips with his thumb, and turned away from the bedside.

"I'm very curious about how you, a chaste Northern Qi spy, managed to gain a foothold in Kyoto and gather information."

"I am... selling my art but not my body."

"what about now?"

Si Lili said: "Do you think what happened last night... was a deal?"

Chu Pingsheng turned around and looked at her with sharp eyes: "Is that what you think?"

Si Lili's delicate body trembled slightly.

That's what she thought.

From what happened yesterday, we can see that Chu Pingsheng’s background is so powerful that he doesn’t even take the Supervisory Council and the prime minister of the current dynasty into consideration, and he can also cure the poison in her body - she was involved in the Niulan Street assassination case, and of course she knew that some people wanted her to live and some people wanted her to die. It was normal for the Supervisory Council to poison her body to control her.

So if she wants to survive, she must compromise with this powerful and mysterious man, and her body is the capital of this transaction.

"You rescued me from the Overwatch Council... What exactly do you want to do?" "What do you want to do? That depends on how you define your relationship with me. If you think this is a life-saving deal, then I'm a businessman pursuing the ultimate return. If you don't think so, then I will naturally treat you as a female relative."

This sentence reminded the manager of Yuan Hongdao's miserable situation.

"I……"

"What you say is not important, what you do is important. There will be a time in the future when you can express your inner choice through actions."

stomping on...

The sound of quick footsteps interrupted the conversation between the two people. Not long after, Xin Qiwu's voice came from the yard: "Master Chu, Master Chu..."

"I'm in the west wing."

Chu Pingsheng answered to the outside and went forward to open the door. He saw Xin Qiwu holding up the hem of his long gown and walking over with two servants. Before he could force out his signature smile on that timid and funny face, he saw Si Lili hurriedly tying her belt in front of the bed with her back to them. He was stunned and felt his head buzzing.

Chu Pingsheng was still shirtless, and Si Lili was lying at the head of the bed with her clothes in disarray. Even a fool would know what they had done.

You know, he just brought the person back from the dungeon yesterday. Shouldn't he let him rest for a few days? This... is indeed a barbarian from Xihu. He has never seen a beautiful woman before, so he is too impatient.

"Master Chu... I didn't see anything. I suddenly remembered that I still have some things to do in the government office... This... hehe..."

He turned around and tried to leave, but was held back by Chu Pingsheng.

"Master Xin, what brings you here so early?"

Xin Qiwu couldn't get away, so he could only smile awkwardly: "Today, the governor of Huizhou presented a batch of lychees. Your Majesty asked the eunuchs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to carry some to the Honglu Temple and distribute them to the foreign envoys who have not yet left. I picked some from them and gave them to Lord Chu to taste."

"Master Xin is thoughtful. Bring it in."

“Here…here…”

Xin Qiwu looked at the main house in the north, and then at the girl living in the west wing. His eyebrows were arched, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and his eyes were charming: "Lord Chu is a man who knows how to cherish women."

Chu Pingsheng watched as two servants walked into the room carrying a gift box of lychees, and said calmly, "Xin Shaoqing, there is nothing added to these lychees, right?"

"Add ingredients? What ingredients?" Xin Qiwu looked confused.

Chu Pingsheng ignored him and looked at the two servants who was carrying the plate with steady hands and smooth movements.

Sure enough, after saying this, the man hesitated for half a breath.

Half a breath...

A lot can be seen from a person like Chu Pingsheng.

"Thank you, Lord Xin, for remembering me. I'll see you at the Honglu Temple later."

Chu Pingsheng naturally would not make things difficult for a small character like Xin Qiwu, so he thanked him and sent him off.

"Then... Lord Chu and Miss Lili are eating. I will leave first."

Xin Qiwu bowed slightly, held up the hem of his official robe and walked away.

Chu Pingsheng was the Junior Secretary of the Honglu Temple, and his official position was the same as his, but he enjoyed the rank and treatment of a Chaofeng Doctor.

The Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple was of the fifth rank, and the Chaofeng Daifu was of the fifth rank, so Chu Pingsheng's rank was half a level higher than his.

"Why didn't you wait for me to get dressed before opening the door?" Si Lili said with a tone of reproach as she watched the three people disappear.

Chu Pingsheng smiled slightly and did not answer the question.

"you do this delibrately?"

She herself was shocked by this speculation.

“Eat lychees.”

Chu Pingsheng picked up a bright lychee. The shell was hard and slightly cool to the touch. In this weather, a lot of ice must have been wasted transporting it from the south to the north.

Having power... is good.

"Didn't you say there was something added to it?"

"Yes, I added the antidote for the chronic poison you were infected with. Although it is no longer needed, it is an attitude."

Si Lili looked surprised.

"It's very simple. Emperor Qing knows my methods better than Chen Pingping. If this thing had been delivered half a day later, hehe..."

He didn't say the rest, but thinking about the scene in front of the Supervisory Council yesterday, Si Lili got goosebumps all over her body.

He handed over the lychee in his hand.

Si Lili took it with both hands, pinched the fruit inwards with her fingernails, and broke it apart to reveal the snow-white flesh. She put it to her lips and sucked it. It was smooth, sweet and juicy.

"Is it sweet?"

"sweet."

"Eat more sweet food."

After saying this, Chu Shaoqing, who had finished his work, walked outside.

"you……"

"I'll go to the Honglu Temple to take a look. Don't worry, with Lanling Wang here, no one will dare to cause trouble in the Protocol Courtyard."

After watching Chu Pingsheng's back disappear, Si Lili lowered her head and looked at the ten nails without any bruises at all, and was stunned for a moment.

This is the abnormality I discovered when I was peeling the lychee shell and eating the flesh just now.

Before leaving the Control Yuan yesterday, there were bruises at the base of the nails on my right index finger and thumb, and my left little finger and ring finger. How come they all healed in just one night?
