Late at night, King Yan's Mansion.

In Rong Chengyao's bedroom, Rong Chengjiao sat in front of the bed, looking at the housekeeper kneeling on the ground in front of him and did not speak, but the housekeeper was already in a cold sweat, and beads of sweat flowed along the wrinkles on his face to the beard on his chin, but he didn't reach out to wipe it, but just said a little nervously: "Lord Wang, it's the villain's protector who is not good, please punish the prince." ”

"What the hell is going on, didn't we send a signal? Why didn't anyone come? Han Feng, the attendant who was Rong Chengjiao on the side, couldn't help but ask.

"Cold wind!" Han Shuo, who was standing on the side, stared at him with a dark face.

"I know, I've overpassed, but I'm not looking at him in a hurry, ask for the prince." Cold Wind argued.

"Lord Wang, let's worry about my body first, although this poison is not difficult to solve, it is not easy either, it is better for us to detoxify it first." Su Jin'an interrupted their conversation, she didn't want to hear any secrets that she shouldn't hear, it was better to help him detoxify and leave as soon as possible.

"Didn't the prince take the antidote?" Cold Wind wondered.

Su Jinan glanced at Han Feng with idiot eyes, didn't bother to explain, just turned his gaze to Rong Chengxuan, waiting for his answer. She just said that the medicine could be relieved, when did she say that it was the antidote, and besides, those people spent so much effort to deal with Rong Chengjiao, how could they use some poison that could be solved casually, she seriously doubted this person's IQ.

"Okay—" Rong Chengjiao agreed.

"Okay, let's start now, and the idlers can go out." Su Jinan stood up from the table.

Looking at the few people who did not move, Rong Chengzhen waved his hand, and the people in the room retreated.

"By the way, I need to do it alone." Su Jinan said loudly as he watched the butler about to exit the door.

"I'll stay." Han Shuo spoke coldly.

"No, change it." Su Jin'an refused without thinking about it, in exchange for Han Shuo's knife eye, but Su Jin'an was unmoved.

"Well, I'll stay." Han Feng looked at the tense atmosphere between the two and said weakly.

"You are both wounded, I don't need to take advantage of it, and replace it with a normal person." Su Jin'an glanced at the wounds on Han Feng's left shoulder and waist, which were still oozing blood although they had been simply bandaged, and said lightly.

"Tell Li Yao something." Rong Chengjiao made a decision directly.

"Yes, at the girl's orders." Steward Li hurriedly saluted Su Jin'an.

Su Jinan took a good look at the housekeeper who was kneeling on the ground just now, not fat or thin, about fifty years old, he was bowing his head to salute her, he couldn't see his expression, he could only see a mustache on his chin.

"Well, you go and prepare some things first: wine, porcelain bowls, daggers, and be careful that the stronger the wine, the better." Su Jinan unceremoniously and directly said his needs, anyway, these things are for his master.

"Okay, let's go, villain." Steward Li took the order and left.

The two of them also retreated, but they didn't go far, just outside the door. At this moment, only Su Jinan and Rong Chengjiao were left in the room.

"You're a good doctor." Rong Chengyan's words made Su Jin'an pause as he walked towards the candlestick.

"It's okay." Su Jinan moved the candlestick to the small machine next to Rong Chengyan and took the lampshade.

"How sure are you about detoxification?" Rong Chengjiao then asked.

"This poison is called Drunken Soul Incense, and the poisoned person will have a faint aroma around him, and his face will be red when he is poisoned, as if he is drunk, and it is not the first time I have encountered it, so there are nine points." Su Jinan replied casually, but Rong Chengyan's eyes deepened when he looked at her.

Su Jinan took off a hairpin on his head, twisted the beads on the top and removed it, it turned out that the hairpin was hollow, and there were more than ten silver needles in it.

At this time, Steward Li also brought in the things that Su Jin'an wanted, Su Jinan got up and took it, and said to Rong Cheng'an: "Take off your clothes." ”

Then he walked to the table outside and wrote the prescription, Rong Chengjiao just glanced at Su Jin'an and started to untie his robe. The corners of Steward Li's mouth twitched a little, he had never seen anyone dare to talk to his master like this, and he still said such fierce words.

"Butler-" Su Jin'an's voice sounded, Steward Li immediately put away his messy thoughts and walked to Su Jin'an's side, Su Jinan handed the prescription written in his hand to Steward Li: "Take the medicine on this prescription according to the dose, fry it on high heat for half an hour, pour it into a wooden barrel and prepare it, and your prince will use it for a medicinal bath in a while." ”

"Yes, the villain will go." Steward Li bowed his head and led the order again.

When Su Jinan returned, Rong Chengjiao had already taken off his shirt and sat naked on the edge of the bed, his perfect body lines exuding a mysterious and charming aura in the dancing candlelight. Su Jinan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw this scene: he is worthy of being a master of martial arts, this figure is simply a sculpture in a museum, the wheat-colored skin is slightly yellowed under the candlelight, the strong and well-proportioned muscles are regularly set on the perfect body, and the absolute clothing looks thin and undressed.

"Have you seen enough?" Rong Chengjiao was a little awkward to see Su Jin'an's face not red and her heart was not beating, shouldn't ordinary women be docile and shy, the person in front of him completely subverted his previous cognition, there was neither shyness nor greed in her eyes, and her frank and clear eyes made him a little uncomfortable.

Hearing Rong Cheng's words, Su Jinan didn't answer, just raised his eyebrows and withdrew his gaze and walked to him, took out the silver needles in the hairpin just now, and placed them on the table according to their thickness and length.

While Su Jinan was making preparations in his hands, he opened his mouth and said to Rong Chengjiao: "Your 'Drunken Soul Incense' is a chronic poison, so detoxification is also more troublesome, and there are many things to pay attention to in the future, I will tell your housekeeper about these later." Now, I'm going to force the toxin into your right arm with a silver needle to let the blood drain out of the wound on your palm, and the process will be a little uncomfortable, are you ready? ”

"Hmm." Rong Chengjiao nodded.

After getting Rong Chengjiao's answer, Su Jin'an didn't say much, and directly picked up the silver needle on the table, soaked it in a bowl full of wine for a few seconds, and then dried it with the flame of the candle, and then pierced the silver needle into Rong Cheng's body.

Rong Chengjiao couldn't help but be a little shocked when she looked at Su Jin'an's skillful acupuncture: her medical skills were extraordinary at a young age, and she looked at her confidently and steadily, as if the needle was not pierced on a person but on a piece of wood.

After a few stitches, Rong Chengjiao felt that the blood in his whole body seemed to be concentrated on his right arm, as if it was about to explode in the next second, which was also mixed with bursts of tingling, and he felt that his right hand was no longer his own. Despite this, Rong Chengyan's face did not fluctuate in the slightest, and he didn't even blink his eyes more, Su Jin'an saw that he didn't react, and silently admired his endurance in his heart.

About half a pillar of incense passed, Rong Chengjiao was already sweating like rain, Su Jinan disinfected the dagger and cut a small incision in the vein of Rong Chengjiao's wrist, dark red blood gushed out instantly, at the same time, a strange fragrance spread in the room with Rong Chengjiao as the center, as the more blood gushed out, the stronger the fragrance, which had completely covered the smell of blood.

When Steward Li came in again, Su Jinan had already bandaged Rong Cheng'an's wounds, and he was resting on the head of the bed in a white undershirt.

Su Jinan was disinfecting the used silver needles one by one and putting them back into the hairpin, when he saw the housekeeper coming in, he asked aloud, "Are the things for the medicinal bath ready?" ”

"Yes, the villain is ready according to the girl's instructions."

"Well, there is also a prescription here, take it internally, twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening, with the medicinal bath, the residual poison can be drained after half a month, and then you can be cured by taking some tonics." Su Jinan handed the prescription to Steward Li.

"Yes, the villain wrote it down." Steward Li respectfully took it.

"Lord Wang, your body is fine, as long as you take the medicine and take a bath on time, you will be fine, if there is nothing else, then the courtier will leave." Su Jinan turned to Rong Chengyi and said.

Rong Chengjiao still leaned on the head of the bed and did not respond, as if he had not heard her words.

"Go out-" Just when Su Jin'an thought he wouldn't answer, Rong Chengyan suddenly spoke, making her stunned for a moment, and when she came back to her senses, the housekeeper had already retreated in a witty manner, and there were only the two of them left in the room again.

The smell of drunken incense in the room had not yet dissipated, and the wisps were entwined between the two, creating a somewhat strange atmosphere, and neither of them spoke, and the room fell silent for a while.

Su Jinan imagined countless intentions of Rong Chengan to leave him behind, and even considered killing people, but Rong Chengan still didn't speak, Su Jinan's feet were numb, and she wondered if Rong Chengyan had fallen asleep, so she secretly raised her eyes to see what he was doing, but she didn't want to meet his red eyes all at once, Su Jinan quickly moved her gaze to the side with some weakness, and coughed lightly to hide her embarrassment.

"That, I don't know what else the prince has to order, if you ......" Su Jinan spoke with some hesitation, but was interrupted by Rong Chengjiao before he finished speaking.

"Aren't you afraid?" Rong Chengjiao asked the question he had been asking all along.

"Huh?" Su Jin'an was stunned for a moment in the face of the sudden question, but then reacted: "Naturally, I am afraid, but the courtier's daughter has lived with her parents at the border since she was a child, and she has seen a lot of scenes of fighting and killing, so she can still ...... in the face of this situation" Su Jin'an's words were interrupted again before he finished speaking.

"I'm talking about the king." Rong Chengyan's impatient voice stopped Su Jinan from continuing.

"Huh?" Su Jin'an was a little inexplicable.

Rong Chengjiao didn't speak again, but stared at the person in front of him, not letting go of a trace of her expression.

Su Jin'an was under a lot of pressure to be looked at by Rong Cheng, this person, can't she ask properly, she has to make people guess, how does she know what he wants to hear? However, Su Jinan also knew that it must not be a wise move to offend him, so she thought that maybe Rong Chengyan might want to ask her if she was afraid of him.

"Lord Wang...... You are a prince, and you ...... and across the battlefield, the courtiers are naturally ...... ...... in awe" Su Jin'an spoke tentatively, carefully observing Rong Chengyi's reaction, ready to be interrupted again.

However, Rong Chengjiao did not interrupt her this time, but still looked at her deeply, and only after she finished speaking did he get up and walked towards her and said coldly: "Do you know that this king can regard you as an assassin's comrade, or a fine work sent from somewhere. Rong Chengjiao stood still in front of her, "Killing people is a simple matter for this king, if you don't want to die, just answer this king's question well." ”

"No matter how you say that I saved the prince is a fact, the prince has to say that I am an assassin, I have nothing to say, but I have ...... the words of the prince" Su Jinan was also a little angry when he heard Rong Chengyao's words, but as he spoke, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and some rumors about the "red-eyed Hades King" flashed in his mind, and a ridiculous thought suddenly appeared when he looked at the red pupils of the person in front of him: "The prince doesn't want to ask me if I am afraid of the eyes of the prince, right?" Su Jinan suddenly realized that what Rong Chengjiao really wanted to ask might be this, she almost forgot that this was ancient times, a closed and conservative era, and they lacked a rational understanding of the unknown, so she had heard some rumors that King Yan's red eyes were ominous, and there were some things she didn't remember, but people were afraid of his eyes for sure.

As soon as Su Jinan finished speaking, she felt an invisible cold on Rong Chengjiao's body pressing towards her, colder than the winter night outside, locked by Rong Chengyan's ice-like eyes, Su Jinan put away her exaggerated expression, tried her best to remain serious and said euphemistically: "Lord, this appearance is not something that you can decide, I think, it's normal for everyone to be a little different." ”

"So what?" Rong Chengjiao is unrelenting, and he must hear a clear answer.

"So, I think your eyes are very good-looking, not terrible." After Su Jinan finished speaking, he felt that Rong Chengyan's terrifying coercion had decreased, and he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, but this person was really difficult to figure out, and it was uncertain.

"You can go." Rong Chengjiao sat back on the collapse as if he said casually, but his clenched fists betrayed his heart that was not calm at the moment.

"Yes, the courtiers are retired." Su Jin'an blessed her body and turned around and walked out, but after a few steps, Su Jin'an seemed to think of something, turned around and added to Rong Chengyan: "Tonight's affairs will be treated as if it never happened, and they will be tight-lipped." "So you are the same, Su Jinan didn't say the second half of the sentence, but she believed that Rong Chengyan must have understood what she meant.

Seeing that Rong Chengjiao didn't mean to answer her, Su Jinan left with interest, but she believed that no matter what the reason, Rong Chengyan would not let today's incident get out.

After Su Jin'an left, Rong Chengjiao leaned on the head of the bed and slowly closed his eyes, he was not sure if Su Jin'an's words were true, although it was the second time he saw her today, he didn't understand why there were no waves in her eyes, like a pool of stagnant water, silent and deep. In the face of his eyes, although she tried her best to suppress but still showed a little excitement, in the face of the killing in the night, she not only had no fear, but also raised her hand to take people's lives, and more importantly, she could also relieve the "drunken soul incense", as far as he knew, this poison could not be solved by ordinary people, it can be seen that she is also proficient in the art of healing poison, his intuition told him that this woman is by no means an ordinary person, she seems to be respectful and humble, but she does things without leakage, so that people can't find faults, but he knows that this is just the appearance of her disguise. But the strange thing is that he doesn't have a little disgust with her, and his heart is a little inexplicably irritable, he doesn't like this feeling.

"Hidden, go check." Rong Chengjiao spoke faintly at the empty room, and after the words fell, a figure wrapped in black appeared, bowed to Rong Chengjiao and disappeared again.

If Su Jinan is still there, he will be surprised: this is the legendary "secret guard", the secret guard is different from the guard, the guard is like an entourage by the master's side, protecting the master's integrity. The Dark Guards are different, first of all, they must have extremely high martial arts; secondly, they must be orphans, alone, without concern; In the end, there must be absolute loyalty, so the dark guards are generally specially trained from an early age. Because of these harsh conditions, it is determined that the secret guard is definitely not something that ordinary people can have. The reason why the secret guards are called secret guards is because they generally do not appear in front of people, and even if they appear, they must have a false identity to disguise, their work is much more complicated than that of the guards, they not only have to protect the safety of the master, but also help the master deal with some important affairs.

When Su Jin'an returned to Su Mansion, it was almost dawn, Su Jin'an didn't alarm others, went straight back to his house, and fell down on his bed, everything last night was like a dream, the killing machine in the woods, the healing of King Yan's Mansion, everything last night appeared in front of him like a movie, Su Jin'an didn't know when he fell asleep, and when he woke up again, he was woken up by Xia Qu.

"Miss, Miss, it's time to get up."

"Hmm-" Su Jin'an squinted at Xia Qu with sleepy eyes.

"Miss, today is the second day of junior high school, and I want to pay a New Year's greeting." Xia Qu said as he dragged Su Jinan up.

"Didn't you worship yesterday?" Su Jinan felt that she was woken up just by closing her eyes, and she didn't want to leave her warm bed at all.

"It's too late this year, miss, it's too late to be up."

"Got it, I'm up—up—" said and fell again.

When Xia Qu finally dug up Su Jin'an, it was already past the time for breakfast, Su Jin'an simply cleaned up and went to ask for peace, Su Jin'an remembered that yesterday's mother said that today was going back to Meifu to pay New Year's greetings, but before leaving, I still have to report to Mrs. Su, Meifu is the mansion of Su Mu's father-in-law Mei Xiumiao, the Mei family is a special existence in the capital, the reason why it is special is because there is neither anyone in Meifu nor business, it can be said that there is no power and no money, but no one wants to offend the Mei family.

The Mei family, is a typical century-old family, is one of the few noble families in the capital, compared with other big clans, the Mei family can be called thin, but the Mei family has been from the literature for generations, almost every generation of the Mei family children are scholars who have exported chapters, when they were in their heyday, people once said that "literature is a way, everyone can peek at it, but the essence of the person who can get it, there are very few corners, only the Mei family is a lineage, and it can be done", the Mei family can be said to be the mainstay of the literary stream, the Mei family was the teacher of the three emperors, and the princes and grandsons worship their disciples countless, In addition, there have been two queens and seven concubines, which means that although the Mei family has a small population, all of them are boutiques, and the current head of the Mei family, Mei Xiumiao, is the teacher of today's saint. Although with the passage of time and the deliberate low-key Mei Mansion is not as dazzling as before, who in the entire capital wants to offend such a family, not to mention that the Mei family is a sage in the hearts of all literati and scholars, and the emperor alone is enough to deter everyone.

Su Mu's wife Mei Ru is the young lady of today's Mei Mansion, the Mei family has always been thin, Mei Xiumiao and his wife Sun have a son and a daughter, the eldest son Mei Xu and the second daughter Mei Ru. If you want to say why the head of the Mei family married his baby daughter to a boy from the Su family who was still unsuccessful, it was a sensational event back then. Although the Su family does not have the Mei family's hundreds of years of accumulation, it is also a famous hairpin family, and the two families can be said to be the right family, but the Su family has been civil officials for generations, and the children of the family are all responsible for obtaining fame and glory lintel, and people think that the head of the Mei family will find a talented son-in-law, but unfortunately no one expected that he chose the third son of the Su family, Su Mu, the only one in the Su family who does not love poetry, books and martial arts. When the head of the Mei family chose Su Mu, it really shocked many people. However, soon after, Su Mu was appreciated by the emperor during a hunting, and then slowly gained a place among the generals, and soon after marrying Mei Ru, he was released as a local guard.

Although people think that it is really tyrannical for the Mei family to marry a knowledgeable, gentle and virtuous daughter to a martial artist, time will always show some things that people can't see. Since Su Mu returned to Beijing a few years ago, Mei Ru has become the envy of all Beijing ladies, all say that the head of the Mei family knows people, the reason why she says this is entirely because Su Mu returned to Beijing is a family member, only Mei Ru and four children, not even a room, under this polygamous system, a man like Su Mu can be said to be a rare and endangered creature, plus Mei Ru's three sons and one daughter under her knees really make the women in Beijing envious.
