Chapter 116: I Haven't Seen a Man in Hundreds of Years

ngeness in her heart and a beautiful smile appeared on her stunning face. She gently pushed Gu Yueqin towards Su Zixing, “Brother, this Gu Yueqin is for you. I don’t have any internal energy, so this..."Your Highness, please calm yourself. In my humble opinion, Su Qingying's arrival in our Nanjiang territory is most likely for the Golden Cicada Worm within the body of Emperor Dongyue. Why don't we use this to our advantage" Her trusted maidservant, Ling'er, hurriedly stepped forward to pour her a cup of fresh tea to calm her down. Her eyes rolled, and she immediately had a plan. A cunning glint flashed across her otherwise unremarkable face, as venomous as a snake.

With a cold glance, Zhao Ruqing gave Su Qingying a cursory look and nodded with satisfaction. Her eyes narrowed, her gaze turned sharp, and the smile on her lips suddenly took on a sinister and venomous edge. "You're right! Su Qingying, you just want the antidote to Jin Chan Gu, don't you This princess will give it to you!"

Two flowers bloom, each representing a branch.

"Master, are you in there" Xuanyuan Rongfei held a few plates of exquisite food and gently knocked on Su Qingying's door. Seeing no response from inside for a long time, she pushed the door open on her own accord, "I'm coming in."

Su Qingying remained in that pose, huddled in the corner, motionless. She seemed to have not heard a thing, her eyes vacant and terrifyingly so.

"Master, you haven't had a drop of water all day. Come and eat something, at least have a little bit." Having set up the meal, Xuanyuan Rongfei walked to her bedside with concern and gently touched her hand.

Her fingers were very cold, like jade without any warmth. Xuan Yuan Rongfei's nose suddenly ached, and she couldn't help but tighten her grip on her hand.

"Just put it aside, I have no appetite." Her empty eyes twitched slightly, Su Qingying withdrew her hand, her pale lips moved, and her voice was hoarse to the extreme.

With tears swirling in her eyes, Xuanyuan Rongfei took a deep breath, "This can't be right. People are made of iron, and rice is steel. One meal missed…"

Whoosh—

Before she could finish speaking, a faint whooshing sound suddenly shot towards her with fierce speed, lodging itself firmly on Su Qingying's headboard!

"There's an assassin!" Xuan Yuan Rong Fei's voice stuttered, she drew the long whip from her waist and was about to charge out.

"There's no need to chase, the person is already gone." Reaching out, she removed the letter tied to the arrow and unfolded it gently. At a glance, she read every line.

"Master, what does the letter say" Xuan Yuan Rongfei, who had already run to the door with her long whip back at her waist, dashed back in a blink of an eye. Looking at the words on the paper, she read out each character one by one, "Whoever wants the golden cicada antidote, come quickly to the bamboo forest in the west suburbs..."

Taken aback, Xuan Yuan Rong Fei's eyelids twitched violently. She immediately raised her head and looked at Su Qing Ying, a layer of unease clouding her heart. "West suburbs bamboo forest Master, could this be a trap"

Clutching the scroll tightly in her hand, Su Qingying knew all too well the worry etched on her face. This was clearly a trap designed by Zhao Ruzhi to target her!

Just...

"Even if there's a trap, I'm going!" It had been half a month since she arrived in Nanjiang. The poison on her father's body couldn't be delayed any longer; she absolutely had to get the antidote as soon as possible! Even knowing the other party was deceitful, for her father, she had to take the risk!

Xuan Yuan Rong Fei thought about it over and over again, but still felt uneasy. So she stopped in front of her and said: "Master, I don't think this is right, we should wait for Jing Hong and Tian Yu to return…"

"I can't wait any longer, Rong Fei, you stay here, I'll be right back. When Tianyu and the others return, ask them to tell me." After quickly tidying up, Su Qingying went past Xuanyuan Rongfei and was about to leave.

"Wait! Master, if you're really going, take this ancient Moonqin with you. With it, I can rest assured as well." Knowing she couldn't stop her, Xuen Yuan Rongfei helplessly hurried over and held the ancient Moonqin close, handing it to her.

With the ancient moon qin in her hand, she was no longer harmed by those disgusting worms.

"Thank you, Rongfei." Gu Yueqin was placed on her back, and Su Qingying gave her a light hug before quickly preparing a horse to head to the bamboo forest in the west suburbs.

In the western suburbs, bamboo forest, autumn wind howls, countless bamboo leaves rustle and fall, swirling and rolling towards the distance.

"Princess, do you think Su Qingying will come" Glancing at the overcast sky above that seemed like it could rain any moment, Ling'er looked at Zhao Ruocheng in front of her.

"Don't worry, since she came all the way from Dongyue to Nanjiang for Emperor Dongyue, she will definitely come!" Zhao Ruqing scoffed, a smirk playing on her lips, and a hint of mocking coldness flashed in her eyes.

"Charge!" As soon as the words left his mouth, the sound of hooves thundered closer from afar.

Among the autumn wind and falling leaves, Su Qingying wore a flamboyant crimson dress. Her three thousand black hairs were simply tied up in a high ponytail, her eyes radiating vigor and confidence. She was seven parts beautiful and three parts bold, like a fairy stepping out of a painting, her beauty unlike that of ordinary women.

"Look, isn't she here!" Zhao Ruqing's eyes darkened, her snake-like gaze fixed on Su Qingying's stunning and flamboyant face. An uncontrollable wave of jealousy surged in her heart.

She thought her own beauty was unparalleled, but when she saw Su Qingying's face, she couldn't help but be captivated. Compared to Su Qingying, she felt like an ordinary woman in an instant!

A sinister light flashed in Zhao Ruqing's eyes, her face contorted with cruelty. "Hmph, Su Qingying, you dare to ruin my plans Today, this bamboo forest will be your burial ground!"

Besides, such a flawless face absolutely mustn't be seen by Night Brother! She must personally ruin it!

"Huo—" came to a halt in an open space. Su Qingying raised her eyes and slowly scanned the surroundings. She had a feeling that Zhao Ruqing must be watching her from somewhere nearby!

Thinking of this, Su Qingying loosened the reins crisply and sat leisurely on horseback, her voice ringing out: "Zhao Ruqing, I'm here. There's no need to hide anymore, come out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, after a long wait, there wasn't even a glimpse of anyone. Only the sound of the wind and bamboo swaying back and forth echoed around them.

Raising an eyebrow, Su Qingying wasn't annoyed. She calmly crossed her arms, her dark and bright phoenix eyes shining like the moon, captivating and alluring. Her crisp voice sounded like jade falling onto a plate, "What You went to great lengths to lure this princess over, but you don't have the guts to show yourself Tsk, I think you don't need to be called Zhao Ruqing anymore, just rename yourself Zhao Wangba. A coward who only dares to hide in his shell!"

"Su Qingying! You're courting death!" An arrow shot straight towards her, and Zhao Ruohuang walked out from the shadows with a face ashen with fury, her eyes blazing with murderous intent.

Effortlessly dodging the oncoming arrows, Su Qing's crimson lips curled into a playful smirk. Her jet-black eyes, dazzling like jewels, flashed with a mischievous glint as she tilted her head slightly and blinked innocently, "Huh Auntie, who are you I'm looking for the princess of Nanzhang Kingdom. This has nothing to do with you. You better leave quickly so that you won't get hurt later."

"Big Sister! " Zhao Ruqing pointed at Su Qingying on the horse's back, her voice rising in disbelief. Her already sinister face twisted even more, her eyes bloodshot with rage, smoke practically billowing from her nostrils!

“That's right, auntie. You wouldn't believe it, the Southern Border Kingdom's princess is shameless! She's always thinking about other people's men, acting like she hasn't seen a man in centuries. Auntie, I advise you to go home and keep a close eye on your own husband, or who knows, Zhao Ruqing might set her sights on him one day.”

Su Qingying's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, reminding him with kindness and sincerity. Her stunningly beautiful face was full of genuineness, as if she truly cared for him, so innocent and guileless.ddle couplet which was quite challenging, but she found it no problem at all.Su Qingying was trying hard to recall the lower lines of these two couplets when she suddenly heard Jun Liye's low, bewitch...
