Chapter 4 This Was My Prince's Residence

Xiaojiang panicked and said, "Your Highness, I thought the Princess couldn't hold on any longer, so the soup hasn't been delivered yet..."

After a pause, he felt a little guilty and said, ”It has been a long time now, so I'm afraid it won't have much effect if I send it over.“

"Then increase the dosage, she doesn't deserve to have my child."

"But if the dosage is too strong. maybe the Princess will..."

"So what?"

Nan Muze's tone was icy cold, "It's all her own fault."

Within the Desolate Palace.

After giving Xiao Tang an injection, Liu Shengsheng repeatedly told her not to tell anyone what she saw.

Then she sat in the yard and made snake wine.

She put a lot of wine in her pharmacy, which was used to soak poisonous creatures. Making poison and processing medicine were her greatest pleasures, especially this kind of poisonous snake that was rarely seen in modern times. Not only did she have to brew wine, but she also had to study the venom of this snake.

As a result...

When Xiaojiang walked in with the soup, he saw such a scene...

A beautiful woman dressed in plain clothes was holding a snake as thick as an arm with bloody hands. She was currently cutting it open, removing its organs, head, and tail, and extracting its venomous fangs.

The corner of his mouth twitched.

That was, Princess?

Hearing footsteps, Liu Shengsheng looked up, which startled Xiaojiang once again.

Those facial features are indeed those of Princess, but that smooth skin...

Has the face of the Princess recovered?

"What are you doing here?"

Liu Shengsheng recognized him as a follower of Nan Muze, and her tone was not friendly.

Xiaojiang looked calm on the surface, but he was already shocked by these scenes. He stepped forward with a bowl of soup.

"This was specially brewed for you by the prince. Please drink it as soon as possible, Your Grace."

Liu Shengsheng got up and washed her hands. Her first reaction was that Nan Muze wanted to poison her to death.

She sniffed the bowl and was speechless, "Such a heavy dosage, you are not only afraid of me getting pregnant this time but also want to make me never get pregnant for the rest of my life, aren't you?"

Xiaojiang was shocked again. How come she had known...

"I won't drink it. Go back and tell the prince that I have my own contraceptive pills. I don't need your soup that can make me infertile."

Xiaojiang's eyelid twitched. Did these strange words really come out of the mouth of the princess?

He didn't want to think too much and said seriously, "This is the Princess' order. Please..."

"I told you, I don't want to drink."

Liu Shengsheng gradually became agitated. Just as she was about to push him out, there was a sudden noise outside.

Assassin! Protect the prince quickly!

Assassin?

Liu Shengsheng frowned.

As soon as he heard that there was an assassin, Xiaojiang rushed out, regardless of the bowl of soup...

There were more and more footsteps outside the door.

"The assassins are heading for the prince. Go after them!"

"There's more than one assassin. Surround them!"

“…”

Listening to the continuous shouting, Liu Shengsheng just stood calmly in place and casually spilled the soup in her hand onto the ground.

Then he walked to the door and closed it.

She had nothing to do with the assassination attempt, nor did she care about the life and death of King Cang. She just wanted to be busy with her own business.

Ignoring the sounds of fighting outside, Liu Shengsheng brewed the wine and prepared the medicine. Her stomach had been rumbling for a long time. Only then did she remember that she had not had a good meal for several days.

Although Xiao Tang could freely enter and exit the Desolate Palace, it was difficult for her to get a bowl of porridge every day with her identity, not to mention that she had been suffering snake venom...

It seemed that she could only rely on herself to find food.

Liu Shengsheng thought that no one would find her sneaking out since there were assassins outside, so she put on the clothes of Xiao Tang, quietly climbed over the wall, and went to the kitchen.

In order to avoid attracting attention, she also deliberately changed her hairstyle and smeared a handful of ash on her face...

Unexpectedly, after taking a few steps, she bumped into a man in black.

Her eyelids twitched.

Masked, wearing black clothes, this is... an assassin?

She quietly took two steps back.

"Uh, I support you in assassinating King Cang, but you can't hurt the innocent. Why don't you escape now? I'll pretend that I didn't see it..."

The man in black frowned. The familiar face made Liu Shengsheng absent-minded for a moment. She felt that she had seen this man somewhere before...

Seeing that the man didn't move, Liu Shengsheng took another step back. "This place is remote, and there probably won't be any pursuers. You'd better run..."

The man in black coughed twice as if he was furious. He covered his chest and was about to crouch down.

He was injured.

Liu Shengsheng carefully examined him for a few moments. It seemed that the only injury he had was a small cut on his arm, but the blood flowing out was clearly dark red.

It was obvious that he had been poisoned...

There came a rush of footsteps in her ears. Someone was coming!

No one knew what Liu Shengsheng was thinking. She pulled the man in black to a corner.

"Logically speaking, I shouldn't have cared about you, but you're here to assassinate King Cang after all. I hate arrogant and cold-blooded people like him, so I'll save your life. I wish you success and kill that bastard!"

The man in black's eyebrows twitched, and his cold eyes seemed to want to skin her alive...

Liu Shengsheng completely ignored him. She tore off his clothes and treated his wound hastily. Then, she reached out to tear off the black veil on his face.

Seeing the man glaring at her fiercely, Liu Shengsheng closed her eyes.

I know the rules. If I look at the faces of you assassins, I'll be killed, right? Don't worry, I won't look. I happen to have an antidote for this poison. After you eat it, just cover your face.

At the same time, two men in black rushed over from the side.

"Motherfucker! Nan Muze is too treacherous. Who would have imagined that he would actually change into our clothes as well? We were almost tricked and gave him information about our leader earlier!"

"Humph, so what if he changed his clothes? I recognized him as soon as he opened his mouth. Although we can't defeat him, we scratched him. Now he must have been poisoned. Without the antidote, he can't survive tonight. Let's retreat first!"

“…”

The two of them walked quickly, but before they could go far, Xiaojiang had already caught up with them with a large group of people!

As soon as they met, the two sides fought again. The sound of the fight was different, which made Liu Shengsheng very nervous in the corner.

She was afraid that these people would suddenly find her in the corner while fighting...

After all, she had sneaked out.

Moreover, there was an assassin next to him.

If this scene was seen by others, the consequences would be unimaginable...

"Bro, have you taken the antidote? If you do, leave now."

Liu Shengsheng said nervously.

After saying that, she felt a breath on her face, as if the man in black was very close to him.

Why is he still staring at me at this time?

How could he see through her with her face covered in dust?

"Hurry up and withdraw. Stop wasting time..."

"Retreat?"

The man finally spoke.

But why does this voice sound a little familiar?

Liu Shengsheng had been covering her eyes. She didn't want to make trouble for herself.

"What else can we do? It'll be too late if we don't retreat now."

"This is my Prince's Residence. Where do you want me to go?"

“…”
