Chapter 175 The Truth of the Ten Thousand Snake Pit
With a somewhat nervous expression, Murong You picked up the porcelain bottle on the table, opened the cork, took out some white ointment and applied it on his scar.
It feels cool and comfortable after applying it.
After waiting for a long time and seeing no abnormal reaction, she put the bottle away with confidence.
Then Murong You's expression towards Song Qingwan became much kinder, and Song Qingwan felt helpless.
"Miss Murong, there's no need to be so scared. I'm in Southern Xinjiang and I can't run away. If I really want to hurt you again, you can just catch me and kill me."
"Do you really have a way to make Zhao Yuanshen listen to me and marry only me?"
"Miss Murong, don't forget that I am a doctor. I will naturally find a way to help you control Zhao Yuanshen."
"You said you could use drugs to control him, but you think too simply. It's not that there are no things in Southern Xinjiang that can control people's minds, but Zhao Yuanshen knows everything."
"The girl also said that it was something from southern Xinjiang. I can guarantee that you have never seen the things I have here, and Zhao Yuanshen will always listen to you."
However, Murong You was still skeptical about Song Qingwan's words, and Song Qingwan lost her patience when she saw her like this.
"If Miss Murong really doesn't believe it, you can go and look for it yourself. I wonder if there is a plant called opium poppy in southern Xinjiang."
"Of course I know. It's a drug we often use to relieve pain. It has the effect of refreshing the mind."
"That's right, young lady, you can collect more and then refine it into juice. As long as Zhao Yuanshen eats it, he will listen to you forever."
"It's that simple?"
"Miss Murong, you can try this method yourself, and then you will understand whether I am lying to you or not."
Murong thought about it again and nodded in agreement. She was a saint and naturally understood pharmacology. If she refined it herself, there would definitely not be any uncontrollable ingredients mixed in.
So Murong readily removed the poison from Song Qingwan, and also gave her some medicine to aid her recovery.
Song Qingwan thanked him and put it in her arms, then stood up and was about to leave, when Murong suddenly called her from behind.
"I really want to know what kind of person your husband is that is worth your risking your life for."
Song Qingwan smiled slightly, turned around and answered.
"I never care what he is like in the eyes of others, as long as he is the best in my heart, that's enough."
Song Qingwan admitted that what she was doing in southern Xinjiang had deviated from its original track.
Originally, she just wanted to rescue Chunya, then find a way to detoxify the old emperor and return to the capital.
But now Zhao Yuanshen's behavior and the emperor's ambitions have exceeded expectations. She must find a way to get rid of these people, so as not to become a major concern for Zhao Huaijin in the future.
That’s right, Song Qingwan finally understood what the Emperor of Southern Xinjiang wanted to do. He actually wanted to be the master of the world and also wanted to maintain immortality.
According to the information handed over by the Pei family, Concubine Rou is indeed not an ordinary concubine.
She turned out to be a descendant of the Leng family, the creator of the Ten Thousand Snake Pit more than 20 years ago, and the only survivor of the Leng family.
Later, I don’t know how she managed to get into the harem and become the concubine of the current emperor.
Then, after a long period of inquiry, Song Qingwan finally understood what had happened.
After Concubine Rou entered the palace, she began to encourage the emperor to achieve immortality with him.
The secret of Concubine Rou's youthfulness is actually the forgetfulness poison made from the venom extracted from the poisonous snakes in the Snake Pit.
The so-called forgetfulness poison will gradually make people lose their emotions and love after being poisoned, but their appearance and body will remain youthful.
This Imperial Concubine Rou looked only eighteen or nineteen years old, but she was actually already over thirty.
It was because the emperor was poisoned by this poison that his temperament suddenly changed and he became so indifferent to the queen and his children.
But the poison in him now is not very serious, so he is not as cold as Concubine Rou.
An emperor who dreams of immortality does not just want immortality. He must have other intentions in cooperating with Zhao Yuanshen.
If Song Qingwan's guess was correct, the Emperor of Southern Xinjiang wanted to be the common ruler of the world, and Zhao Yuanshen naturally could not always be under him.
I guess the two of them still have differences in this regard. They both want to kill the other after they succeed and become king themselves.
Therefore, Song Qingwan planned to start from this aspect, making the two of them doubt and mistrust each other from within, and eventually disintegrate the Southern Xinjiang regime.
The first step to do this is to make Murong You and Zhao Yuanshen break up completely. If Zhao Yuanshen loses Murong You, it will be much easier to deal with him.
As for the emperor, Song Qingwan decided to cooperate with the Pei family. He believed that with a man of iron will like Mr. Pei, he would never tolerate the emperor's nonsense.
When Zhao Yuanshen and the emperor are both isolated and helpless, they will naturally fight each other.
The Pei family acted quickly. After learning that the Ten Thousand Snake Pit existed, Mr. Pei immediately sent his eldest son to investigate the matter.
Pei Ziling, the eldest son of the Pei family, was a brave and resourceful general. He waited at the back door of the imperial palace for several days and finally saw a man in black stealthily turn over and jump into the harem.
Pei Ziling didn't dare to alert the enemy. He lay quietly in a corner and observed carefully.
After a while, the man in black climbed out from the harem and flew into the woods nearby.
Pei Ziling didn't have time to think and followed.
Fortunately, the other party was in a hurry to get on the road and did not notice Pei Ling's existence.
Pei Ling was highly alert along the way, observing his surroundings from time to time.
Finally, Pei Ziling followed him all the way to the riverside. The man in black stopped, looked around, took out a bell from his arms and started shaking it.
After a while, a boatman rowed a small boat quickly to the shore, the man in black jumped onto the boat, and the two of them picked up the oars and rowed away quickly.
After the boat went away, Pei Ziling walked out from the darkness, squinting his eyes and looking forward.
There is a deserted island not far away. It is said that there are many wild beasts on it and the fishermen nearby dare not approach it. This island is called Ghost Island.
"I guess there's something fishy going on on this ghost island."
At this point, Pei Ziling did not dare to delay and hurried back to the Pei family to tell his father about his discovery.
Old Master Pei nodded solemnly. He had heard a little about this ghost island.
I heard that some people have climbed up there before, but no one has ever come back. Those who have gone there have never returned.
As time went by, word spread that there was a monster on the island that ate people, and no one dared to go there anymore.
"Get ready to go to the island. I want to see whether the things on the island are human or ghost."
"Father, you don't have to go there in person. My second brother and I are enough."
"I will go with you and wait for you on the shore so that I can take care of you if anything happens."
"Yes, father."
At this time, the people on Ghost Island did not know that this place had been targeted.
Lan Chengen, who had not been seen for a long time, was now sitting in a house in the center of the island having fun.
