Chapter 567 I will not reconcile with those who have hurt me
Xiao Mengxi looked at her expression and saw that she didn't seem to be faking it, so she couldn't help but frown.
"The Wolf King, he said that you saved his life... so he came to me to ask for the antidote on your behalf!"
Shen Shuyi was really stunned this time.
Wolf King?
Apart from the last time he saved her in the hunting ground and she gave him a wooden hairpin in return, when had they ever met before?
What's more, that is the notorious and elusive Wolf King.
How could she possibly have saved his life?
"Princess...are you also suffering from hysteria?" Shen Shuyi asked seriously with a solemn expression.
Xiao Mengxi: "..."
Are these two people playing a trick on her?
She suppressed her anger and pushed a box in front of her, her voice hoarse.
"Here are two East China Sea Jade Qilins. I really don't have an antidote for the poison you've been poisoned with. Bauhinia flowers are inconspicuous and even harder to find when they bloom, so I plan to use Red Luan flowers as your antidote. However, Red Luan flowers are also toxic. Long-term use will cause your body to decay and toxins to accumulate..."
"But if you use these two jade unicorn beads as medicine, they can offset the toxicity of the red phoenix flower, which will be enough to keep you going for another year or two until you find the antidote for the redbud flower."
Although Shen Shuyi was listening to her, his eyes were on her hands.
Did the Wolf King really send someone to chop him down?
Tsk, what a cruel man he is. He even dares to attack royal relatives and nobles. No wonder he has such a fierce reputation.
"I am giving this pill to the county lady as a token of my sincerity."
After saying that, Xiao Mengxi didn't say anything else, but paid attention to Shen Shuyi's expression.
However, the young girl in front of her did not show any joy at all, as if she did not care about her life or death at all. As for the antidote for the Ten Day Half Step Madness, she did not even mention it at all...
Seeing that she had no intention of speaking, Xiao Mengxi could only test her and ask, "What about the antidote for the Ten Day Half Step Epilepsy?"
Hearing this, Shen Shuyi withdrew his thoughts and looked at the woman in front of him who looked much more haggard with a smile.
"It seems that the princess didn't intend to leave me alive that day."
If she was sensible and obedient, and was truly on the same page with Xiao Rui, she might spare her life.
But since there is no antidote for the Blood Shadow Powder, I think she just wants to delay until she gives birth to the child, and then leave her life and death to fate.
Xiao Mengxi looked embarrassed, but things had come to this point and she had no way out.
Shen Shuyi's eyes were clear and cold: "It's fine to give the antidote to the Ten Day Half Step Madness to the princess, but I want to know why Empress Xiang stayed indoors all those years ago? And why does His Majesty hate the late Second Prince so deeply?"
"Shen Shuyi, I know that you were ordered by the Queen Mother to investigate the secrets of that year, but I don't know the inside story." Xiao Mengxi said in a deep voice.
Shen Shuyi smiled: "Really don't know? Then maybe this is the princess' fate."
Xiao Mengxi's lips were dry, wrinkles appeared at the corners of her eyes, and there were a few strands of white hair among her hair.
"I really don't know. I only know that year, the Ninth Prince's Mansion held a banquet, but Concubine Xiang did not show up. Your Majesty had a deep relationship with her, so he went to look for her in person."
"But later..."
But later, His Majesty became very angry and killed all the servants in the courtyard.
Shen Shuyi narrowed his eyes: "What about Concubine Xiang?"
"I don't know. I only know that since that incident, Concubine Xiang has stayed at the Ninth Prince's residence and rarely shows up. My brother also rarely goes to see her."
"I originally thought that she was disliked by my royal brother, but after he ascended the throne, he still planned to make her the queen. It was she who insisted on not doing so, and the ministers opposed it because of her insufficient family background. That's why Your Majesty named her Xiang Fei." Xiao Mengxi spoke softly.
"So, Your Majesty is deeply in love with this Concubine Xiang?" Shen Shuyi asked.
"I don't know the details, but after the banquet that day, I happened to see my brother and my second brother sparring with each other. The tension between the two was particularly intense, especially the ninth brother who almost wanted to kill the second brother. The second brother tried to avoid it, so he was still hit by the sword in the chest."
Xiao Mengxi recalled the events of the past and felt a little dazed. Until this moment, she suddenly felt that she was really old.
Shen Shuyi keenly noticed something.
Perhaps, His Majesty's hatred for the late Second Prince is related to the entanglement between these people, and among them, the most critical people, apart from His Majesty, are only Concubine Xiang and Concubine Rou...
Shen Shu thought that he should find an opportunity to meet Xiang Fei.
"That's all I know." Xiao Mengxi was beginning to lose her patience.
Shen Shuyi raised her lips and said, "Thank you, Princess, for clearing up my confusion."
"The antidote..."
Shen Shuyi looked at Yuping, who nodded and took out a porcelain bottle from the medicine box and handed it to Shen Shuyi.
Xiao Mengxi's expression lit up with joy. If she was still immersed in the grief of Xiao Rui's death in the first two days, in the past two days, she just wanted to live a good life.
Shen Shuyi poured out a black pill from the porcelain bottle, and Xiao Mengxi's throat tightened.
"From now on, the county lady and I have settled all grievances and owe each other nothing..."
Unfortunately, before Xiao Mengxi could finish her words, Shen Shuyi threw the pill in his hand into the brazier.
"Shen Shuyi!!!" Xiao Mengxi stood up suddenly, looking shocked and angry.
Bihe on the side quickly ran to the brazier and tried to pick out the pills regardless of the scorching charcoal fire.
But in just a few moments, the pill had been burned more than half, leaving only a small black piece, perhaps with a small amount left.
"Princess..." Bihe's eyes were wet, and her hands were covered with burns, especially her fingers.
Seeing the medicine being destroyed in front of her, Xiao Mengxi stood up, shaking with anger.
"Shen Shuyi, what do you mean!"
Shen Shuyi didn't even move his posture, looking tired, and met Xiao Mengxi's gaze, saying without hesitation: "I will not reconcile with those who have hurt me."
Forgiving someone who has hurt you is the greatest disrespect for the harm she has suffered.
"Are you really not afraid of death?" Xiao Mengxi stared at her coldly.
"So what if I'm afraid? So what if I'm not afraid?" Shen Shuyi said with a sneer.
After a pause, she smiled and said, "Besides, the princess gave me the Qilin Pearl from the East China Sea. I believe that it shouldn't be a problem for me to live a few more years."
Xiao Mengxi stretched out her hand to grab the thing back, but Qin Xin drew her sword and knocked the box away.
The next moment, the box fell steadily into Qin Xin's hands.
Shen Shuyi raised the corners of his lips: "There is no reason to take back what has been given away. Since the princess is here, she must leave something behind."
Xiao Mengxi looked pale and was very angry.
She originally wanted to shake hands with Shen Shuyi and make peace with them, offset their grievances, and then ask her to mediate with the Wolf King.
But unexpectedly, she remained unmoved and was so bold!
"Shen Shuyi, you are so young and yet you are already ungrateful. You are so cruel and vindictive. You will get your retribution!" Xiao Mengxi was a little crazy.
Shen Shuyi said indifferently: "I am grateful for your good words, and I hope you live a long life. Wait and see the retribution of this minister."
Xiao Mengxi stared at her intently, and Shen Shuyi smiled lazily at her: "Farewell, Princess."
