Chapter 12
Lady Mingzhu left.
Su Xuan did not stop her from leaving. He estimated that the first thing she would do after returning was to try to detoxify, but some poisons are not so easy to detoxify, especially when she is not poisoned at all, wanting to find the corresponding antidote is an impossible thing to achieve.
That's right, Lady Mingzhu was never poisoned from the beginning.
The so-called pill was just a nourishing medicine.
And the pain of Thousand Insects Devouring the Heart she felt was essentially just Su Xuan using internal energy to catalyze it, giving Lady Mingzhu the illusion that she was poisoned.
However, this incident also served as a reminder to Su Xuan.
The Tide Enchantress's attack meant that Ji Wuye had already noticed him.
This is not surprising.
Ji Wuye, as the Lord of the Night, claims to be the master of the night in the State of Han. Once night falls, the entire State of Han will no longer belong to the King of Han, but to him... Such a person with a strong desire for control will be wary of anyone who might threaten him.
But fortunately, the one who came was the Tide Enchantress, and the other party was indeed a bit reckless this time.
Without investigating the origin of the enemy clearly, she rashly came alone.
This means that even if she suffered a loss, she could only hold it in her heart and not tell anyone about it, at least, she dared not tell the King of Han about this.
After all, the King of Han is not a fool. If he knew that the concubine he favored not only possessed martial arts but was also proficient in illusion techniques, he would inevitably have many thoughts.
After the Tide Enchantress's attack, two more days passed.
Su Xuan felt that the time was almost up, so he decisively chose to come out of seclusion.
The news of his coming out of seclusion was soon learned by the King of Han.
The King of Han immediately sent someone to invite Su Xuan to meet in the Imperial Garden.
When Su Xuan brought a bottle of pills to the Wang Gong Imperial Garden, he saw that the King of Han and a beautiful girl were enjoying the flowers here.
Earlier, with the long drought and no rain, even though the flowers in the Imperial Garden were taken care of by special people and watered every day, they still appeared to have no vitality. Fortunately, a heavy rain came later, and after the rain, these flowers regained their vitality, and compared to earlier, they were much more beautiful.
"Pay respects to Your Majesty!"
Su Xuan's tone was calm, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Mr. Su, you are here!" The King of Han heard Su Xuan's voice, and a faint smile curled up at the corner of his mouth. "You must have gained a lot from coming out of seclusion this time!"
"I did not fail Your Majesty's expectations. After closing seclusion for several days, I have already refined a furnace of pills!" Su Xuan said, while taking a medicine bottle from his sleeve and handing it to the King of Han. "This pill is called Nourishing Spirit Pill. After Your Majesty takes it, it can resolve your illness!"
Su Xuan did not say what illness the King of Han had.
The King of Han himself clearly could not say it either.
However, seeing Su Xuan so confident, he could not bear to strike this expert who could summon wind and rain, so he took it, and then, in front of Su Xuan, opened the medicine bottle. A clear fragrance hit him. Just by sniffing it once, the King of Han concluded that this pill was extraordinary.
Can it not be extraordinary? After all, it came from the hands of an expert who could summon wind and rain.
However, he did not take it directly here. He prepared to take a look after returning. After all, as a King, he should have the vigilance he should have. Before taking the pill, he had to let someone test the medicine, and only after confirming there was no problem would he take it.
Just after Su Xuan and the King of Han finished talking.
The girl who had been standing beside the King of Han spoke abruptly. "I heard you can summon wind and rain? I really want to see it. Can you perform it for me?"
The girl's words carried a bit of arrogance, and at the same time, she was also a bit curious.
Upon hearing this, the King of Han's expression changed. "Honglian, how dare you be so presumptuous!"
He could not help but feel somewhat angry.
Today is a rare parent-child time.
So he did not go to handle government affairs, nor did he go to accompany those favorite concubines, but accompanied his precious daughter to enjoy the flowers in this Imperial Garden. As a result, he did not expect his daughter to be so ignorant.
Even if an expert can summon wind and rain.
But is this kind of thing a juggling act for people to watch?
What if you offend the expert?
You must know that he spent a lot of effort to win the expert's favor. From the expert taking the initiative to refine pills for him, it is enough to see that the expert already has a certain degree of favor for him.
This was all exchanged for the ten thousand gold he spent.
Thinking of that ten thousand gold, the King of Han could not help but feel a bit of heart-ache.
After reprimanding Honglian, the King of Han said to Su Xuan with an apologetic face, "Sir, don't blame her. My daughter has grown up in the palace since she was a child and does not understand the ways of the world, so she was abrupt to you!"
A smile appeared at the corner of Su Xuan's mouth. "It doesn't matter. Princess Honglian said this just because of her innocent nature and curiosity. I naturally won't be angry with the Princess!"
Listening to the father and the man named Su Xuan talking to each other, as if she had really done something wrong, Honglian could not help but bite her lip and felt somewhat depressed.
Immediately, she heard Su Xuan say to her, "Things like summoning rain are clearly impossible to perform for the Princess to see!"
"However, I can borrow a gust of wind to let the Princess witness the scene of the wind blowing through the flowers!"
Honglian's eyes could not help but light up. "Is it really possible?"
The King of Han also looked at Su Xuan with some expectation.
He did not expect Su Xuan to say this, which meant, could he see the expert's means again?
"Wind, come!"
Su Xuan said lightly. In an instant, between the originally calm heaven and earth, a gust of wind was born.
