Madam, please listen to my explanation.

Chapter 1 Let's Bet Our Lives

"I am a bluffing idiot"

"I could tell right away, my mouth dropped open."

"what?"

"Yes, that's it. Keep your teeth together."

Jiangzhou.

Changshengtang.

There are crowds of people outside the door, but the house is full of charm.

The light was dim and the candlelight flickered.

Xu Jinhuan approached the girl with a serious look on his face, his eyes occasionally sweeping across her delicate lips, coaxing her gently.

"Do you want to take my pulse first?"

The girl's pretty face flushed, she squeezed her legs together, and her mind went blank.

"Stop talking nonsense and do as I say."

Xu Jinhuan looked at the other person coldly and reached out to scratch the beard on his face.

A little itchy.

Seeing the girl reluctantly open her cherry lips, he put the object in his hand into her mouth without giving her any chance to regret.

"Ugh! What a smell!"

It all happened so fast.

She almost thought it was an illusion.

"Hmph! Good medicine tastes bitter."

Xu Jinhuan put away the medicine bottle and looked at the girl seriously:

"Bai Hu Li Yan's body is rare in the world!

Such a strong and masculine aura was born in a weak woman like you. I don't know how you managed to survive until today."

"Thank you, Dr. Cai, for the medicine."

Despite the bitter taste in her mouth, she still politely bowed and expressed her gratitude.

The smell in here is terrible.

If it weren't for the advice of the Imperial Master that this Miraculous Doctor Cai could possibly cure her chronic illness, she would never have come to such a place.

The old doctor opposite stroked his shiny white beard, nodded with a smile, and went back to sit behind the counter.

"It doesn't matter. Who in the three provinces of Jiangzhou doesn't know the name of my Changsheng Thatched Cottage?
By the way, you just said, who recommended you here?"

The old doctor's voice sounded as gentle as jade, and his temperament was extraordinary.

This is the method of medicine
A bit shameful!
However, in the past 19 years, I have seen too many strange and bizarre "miracle doctors" and have become numb to them.

'I don't know if it's useful.'

Just as I was about to respond, I vaguely saw the slightly patinated table shaking unnaturally.

As the old doctor sat down, his right leg rose and fell unnaturally.

After a muffled sound, the whole table returned to silence.

Zhao Ruoxi was suspicious.

There is something under the table.

She has had excellent eyesight since she was young and will never make a mistake.

As he was frowning and thinking, he saw something sliding out from the bottom corner of the table.
She looked intently.

It turned out to be a human leg!
been played!

Recalling what happened when she 'swallowed the medicine' just now, Zhao Ruoxi raised her head and glared at the 'old doctor' who was still talking nonstop.

boom!
With a slap of his palm, the square table broke into pieces, revealing a white-haired old man lying underneath, dying.

The corner of Zhao Ruoxi's eye twitched: "Miracle doctor."

"what?"

"Your beard fell off."

As soon as these words were spoken, the temperature in the pharmacy suddenly dropped to freezing point.

The man opposite was completely unmoved and still looked calm and composed.

"It does not matter.

Feel it carefully, don't you notice that the injuries in your body have improved?"

Zhao Ruoxi was stunned when she heard this, and then she realized it belatedly.

Yes.

He raised his palm in anger, clearly mobilizing his internal energy.

There was no discomfort in the body.

Not only that, the burning sensation that had been bothering me like a maggot on my tarsal bone also receded like the tide.

As soon as I thought of this, I looked at the two people in front of me and suddenly they became pleasing to the eye.

Immediately his attitude changed, he saluted and said:
"Thank you! Dr. Cai!

Let's just say goodbye. "

Get up and leave your seat.

As for what happened here.
What's with me?

Seeing that he had been exposed, Xu Jinhuan simply tore off the beard stuck on his mouth and said calmly:
"You've come all the way from the capital, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

"Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess."

bass!
A cold light suddenly appeared in the dim pharmacy!

A sharp blade was pressed against Xu Jinhuan's neck with lightning speed. If it was just an inch closer, he would have taken off his head.

"Who are you?"

The woman opposite had a cold tone, without a trace of emotion.

Xu Jinhuan did not dodge, but continued:
"To be honest, I arrived less than a quarter of an hour earlier than Your Highness.

And the doctor Cai you mentioned was already unconscious when I came in.

Look at that.'

He pointed to the side.

Five stones scattered.

Zhao Ruoxi is naturally a person who knows what's good.

No wonder there has been a pungent smell in the house since the beginning.

“I advise you to put it away.

If you want to take my life, your little tricks are not enough.

Well, even the guard outside the store won't do it."

Zhao Ruoxi had to admit that the other party's overly confident look was indeed quite confusing.

At least after the beard was gone
Well, it looks kind of nice.

She looked at the other person with interest, her sword-holding hand as steady as a rock.

"Give me a reason not to kill you."

Xu Jinhuan spread his hands and said, "The Seventh Princess of Dayan is such an ungrateful person.

Is this how you treat your savior?"

Zhao Ruoxi sneered and sheathed the sword.

Boring. He reached into his pocket, pulled out a bag of silver, and threw it down.

"No matter who you are, I advise you to take care of yourself.

Now that I have accepted your kindness in curing my illness, I will let go of my rude remarks just now.

Take this bag of silver, and we'll be even."

After saying that, she turned and walked out of the shop.

No matter whose son he is or the heir of a certain sect, does he want to get close to me in this way?

She had seen many similar tricks.

"Don't be so anxious to leave. Your Highness, are you really not curious about how I knew your identity and why I waited here in advance?"

Zhao Ruoxi paused slightly, and the man's voice sounded again behind her:

“What I just asked was, who recommended you to come here?

If I were you, I would give this matter some thought.”

Inside the small pharmacy, it suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

"You are so ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth. I am showing mercy and will spare your life.
Stop spreading lies to confuse the public!"

Who does he think he is, daring to challenge the emperor's majesty again and again!

Feeling the gradually decreasing temperature in the shop, Xu Jinhuan answered the question irrelevantly:

“You can leave if you want, but in order to cure your special constitution, I used the cold marrow poison to neutralize the scorching sun energy in your body.

At present, the two are checking and balancing each other, which may alleviate your discomfort, but it is ultimately like drinking poison to quench thirst.

If you leave this shop today, you will die within an hour."

"you wanna die!"

Zhao Ruoxi turned around abruptly and was about to draw the sword again, but she found that the hilt in her hand was as heavy as a thousand pounds, and she couldn't pull it out at all no matter what!
Only then did she suddenly realize that the other party was probably not bluffing.

"Girls, don't draw your sword so easily.
Sit down and talk to me."

Zhao Ruoxi had a gloomy face and turned around and sat down as he said.

It’s not that I was really intimidated by the other party.

Rather, it was the opponent's move that prevented her from drawing her sword that successfully caught her attention.

interesting.

All under heaven belongs to the king, and the other party doesn't look like a fool.

She wanted to take back what she had said before.

This mysterious man really caught her attention.

"Your Highness, if both His Majesty and the Crown Prince died suddenly, who among the remaining princes would be able to ascend the throne?"

If you don’t say anything shocking, you will die!
The veins on Zhao Ruoxi's right hand were exposed, and her eyes gradually turned cold:

"Do you know what you are talking about?"

There is no doubt that the other party is a lunatic!
Xu Jinhuan chuckled:
"Your Majesty is a man of great military strategy, and the Crown Prince is both virtuous and talented. But the rest of the princes are really not that good.

Your Highness thinks so too, doesn't he?"

After saying that, without waiting for the other party to answer, he stood up, put his hands behind his back and looked out the window:
"During the Zhou Dynasty, Empress Wu was a powerful figure. Although she reigned for only fifteen years, she was a woman who diligently governed the country and created the prosperous Zhaoyuan Era."

"To be honest, Your Highness, I had a dream."

Xu Jinhuan turned around and looked straight at the Seventh Princess who had a suspicious look on her face:
"In my dream, Your Highness once sat on this chair just like today.

And in the near future
Dominate the world! "

Really loud.

Zhao Ruoxi had to admit that the other party was a good storyteller.

She curled the corners of her mouth and leaned back slightly.

Although he was sitting in this shabby thatched cottage, he had an air of looking down on the world:

"Okay, if I ascend the throne and become emperor, I will definitely make you the..."

"The first concubine!"

"how?"

Xu Jinhuan didn't take it as an offense at all.

Very good, he really likes the other person's current rebellious look.

"Of course, it's too early to say this now. After all, dreams are so real and unreal that even I can't tell the difference."

"Let's make a bet."

Zhao Ruoxi became even more interested.

"What are you gambling?"

"Bet your body."

“Don’t get excited.

In my dream, there will soon be a fight in the street."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Ruoxi clearly heard a quarrel coming from the street across the door.

Without giving her any chance to think further, Xu Jinhuan continued:

“And the defeated party will be hit by a palm and break into the house.

It hit the chair that Your Highness is currently sitting on."

"If all this had not happened, I would not only detoxify you but also leave you at His Highness' disposal."

"If everything is as I said, you come with me.

Don't worry, it won't take you long."

absurd!

Zhao Ruoxi was about to retort, but immediately turned around and looked outside the door.

One of the parties in the dispute.
It was clearly the voice of his own guard!

"three."

Behind him, the man whispered several times.

"two."

His voice was soft, as if he had everything planned out.

"one!"

'boom--! ’

The wooden door shattered.

A figure came flying like the wind.

Just as Zhao Ruoxi was about to dodge, she realized that her legs were so weak that she had no strength at all.

Seeing the figure getting closer and closer to her, she gritted her teeth and had to cross her arms in front of her chest to protect it.

The next moment, a feeling of weightlessness came.

With a loud bang, the chair he was sitting on shattered into pieces.

And I, like a poultry, was grabbed by the back of the neck by the other party with one arm and lifted into the air!
The voice ringing in her ears was still warm and pleasant, but it sent a chill down her spine.

Like the whispers of a devil.

"It seems that the dream did not deceive me."

"You lose, Princess."
