Chapter 39 Ninja
Su Fuying peeked out from behind the tree, watching Ying Er's hasty retreat, and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Aren't you being too strict with your subordinates?"
The man lowered his eyes and remained silent. Su Fuying continued, "Ying Er is not bad-looking either. Although he is a bit silly, if you don't like him, I don't mind if you give him to me."
Su Fuying's tone was flippant, even tinged with a hint of teasing, as if she were genuinely discussing a trivial topic with Lu Yanxiu. Her eyes held a cunning and playful glint, making it difficult to discern her true thoughts.
Lu Yanxiu's body stiffened slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes, his gaze deep and sharp, as if it could pierce through one's soul. He stared intently at Su Fuying, seemingly trying to discern something from her expression.
However, Su Fuying remained remarkably calm, a faint smile still playing on her lips. Her gaze met Lu Yanxiu's without flinching, instead conveying an ambiguous meaning.
Just then, Lu Yanxiu suddenly felt the pain in his body lessen somewhat. He couldn't help but frown, looking at Su Fuying with a puzzled expression. He saw her looking at him with a half-smile, her eyes flashing with shrewdness. Lu Yanxiu's heart skipped a beat, realizing that her words just now were not merely a joke, but rather carried a hint of seriousness.
"He's good-looking?"
His voice was deep and magnetic, seemingly able to penetrate one's soul. Each word leaped through the air like a musical note, carrying an irresistible charm. However, in stark contrast, his jet-black eyes exuded a chilling coldness, icy and awe-inspiring.
Su Fuying gazed at him quietly. A thought struck her. She put down the book in her hand, propped her chin up with her hands, leaned forward, and moved closer to the edge of the bed.
The distance between the two instantly closed, with Su Fuying only inches away from his face.
At this moment, Su Fuying had just finished bathing, and her body exuded a fresh fragrance.
This fragrance was completely different from her usual delicate medicinal scent; it was more like the aroma of flowers blooming in spring. It gently drifted in the air, filling the entire room and bringing a pleasant feeling.
Su Fuying looked directly into those eyes and saw her cherry lips part slightly, her soft voice trailing off: "I think you're the most beautiful. How about I give my opinion?"
Warm breath sprayed onto Lu Yanxiu's face. The man's handsome eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a playful tone, "You're just average-looking, but you're dreaming."
"hiss."
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a piercing pain spread throughout his body. The woman in front of him had a sly smile on her face as she slowly withdrew her hand that was flicking the silver needle.
He smiled and said, "Your mouth is poisoned too, I don't mind cleaning it for you."
The room fell silent again. Su Fuying got up and pulled out the silver needles. "Come to my residence and wait for me the night after tomorrow."
After working late into the night, my hair was completely dry, and I slept soundly in bed until noon the next day.
"Miss, ma'am."
Biluo's somewhat anxious voice came from outside. Su Fuying turned over, opened her eyes groggily, looked at the sky outside the window, and realized that it was almost noon. Only then did she reluctantly call her in.
As soon as Biluo entered the room, she lowered her head and stood by the bed with a guilty look on her face. She spoke cautiously, "Miss, I didn't know you were still sleeping."
Biluo knew she had disturbed her sweet dream, and immediately said timidly, "This servant deserves to die. I shouldn't have disturbed Miss's rest. But... last night, this servant heard a commotion coming from Miss's room. When I came to check, I was knocked unconscious by that man in the tree. When I woke up today, I saw that Miss hadn't gotten up yet, and I was worried, so I dared to wake Miss. Please punish me."
Listening to the little girl's chattering, Su Fuying became more sober, but she didn't blame Biluo, after all, she meant well.
Su Fuying waved her hand and comforted her, "I know, you don't need to blame yourself. He didn't hurt you, did he?"
Biluo quickly shook her head: "No, that's not it. She just knocked me unconscious."
Su Fuying nodded and said to Biluo, "Okay, I understand. Go and pack your things. We're going to stay at the Princess's residence tonight."
Biluo responded and then asked, "Miss, can I sleep in the side room from now on? I'm always worried about it."
She wasn't used to having someone next to her while she slept at night, as it affected her sleep, so Bilu pouted and went downstairs to pack her clothes.
After washing up, Su Fuying went to see the old lady as usual and received some news.
Half a month later, it will be the Empress's birthday. All the nobles in the capital will bring their families to attend, so Liu Hui may have left early.
Sigh, another trip to the palace. Whether Liu Hui comes out or not is irrelevant now; as long as she doesn't act foolishly, I'll make sure she dies a horrible death.
After having lunch with the old lady, she rushed to the princess's residence. She hadn't even started on the medicinal herbs yet, and all she had to do was spend the afternoon. What a waste!
As the sun set and twilight gradually enveloped the earth, Su Fuying, having tidied everything up, lay happily in the bathtub. The comfortable water temperature greatly relaxed her body, and she couldn't help but let out a soft sigh: "Ah~ so comfortable!"
However, at that moment, a loud crash was heard, followed by the door being violently kicked open, the once sturdy door frame instantly turning into a pile of broken wooden planks. This sudden turn of events startled Su Fuying, who nearly jumped out of the bathtub.
"Damn it, it's you again." Su Fuying looked closely and realized that the person standing on the rotten wooden door frame was none other than Lu Yanxiu.
This man always seemed to like showing up uninvited, always choosing the most inopportune time. Su Fuying glared at him, her eyes filled with anger.
Why do I have to disturb her sleep every night, even though we made plans for today?
But, "Could you please make a little less noise next time and pay me back?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the straight-backed figure coughed up blood that shot two meters away.
"I rely on."
Su Fuying also sensed something was wrong. This man hadn't moved since he came in. Could it be that he secretly used his internal energy again today?
It seems my days are numbered.
For the sake of her thousand taels of gold, Su Fuying hurriedly wrapped a tube top around herself, not having time to put on a coat, and rushed forward to look at the man on the ground.
Lu Yanxiu was lying on the ground with his eyes closed, and his face was not visible because of the mask he was wearing.
She placed her hand on the man's pulse and carefully checked it several times. Fortunately, the poison had taken effect.
This time, the poisoning was caused by taking a bunch of random medications, making it more severe than ever before. This person probably endured it all the way here, but couldn't hold back any longer.
After all, this feeling was many times stronger than the sensation of ten thousand ants gnawing at one's heart. Even if he endured it, his willpower could hold on, but his body could not withstand it.
Without a second thought, Su Fuying first gave him a few acupuncture needles to suppress the spread of the toxin, and then carefully tried to move him to the bed.
