Ever since listening to the conversation between the Queen and Mei Xichen that day, Shangguan Qing has been tossing and turning. On the one hand, he hopes that Mei Xichen can take this opportunity to become stronger, but on the other hand, he is worried about whether he can face everything alone because he is weak.

A month and a half had passed in the blink of an eye, and Shangguan Qing couldn't help but think that she had agreed with her mother to cure Mei Xichen's illness before returning to Luoling Mountain, but now that the situation was going on, she might have to help Mei Xichen.

Mei Xichen is aware of the darkness in the officialdom, but what if someone uses evil magic to harm him again?

After pondering for a long time, Shangguan Qing made up her mind. If her mother came to urge her to return to the mountain to practice, she would express her feelings to her mother, hoping to get her mother's consent and continue to stay with Mei Xichen until he matured.

While he was thinking, Mei Xichen came from outside the house.

"Is Qing'er worried?" Mei Xichen asked with a smile.

"No, I was just thinking about what the Queen said to you that day." Shangguan Qing's expression stiffened and he deliberately pretended to be calm.

"By the way, Qing'er, when I came back from the dinner that day, I saw that you were a little tired, and I really couldn't bear to ask you again. When we got married, you hesitated to talk to me, as if you knew who poisoned me. Can you tell me now?" Mei Xichen looked at Shangguan Qing with pleading eyes and asked.

"Are you asking this?" Shangguan Qing hesitated.

Looking at Mei Xichen's longing eyes, Shangguan Qing couldn't refuse, so he confided the truth to Mei Xichen.

"After you rescued me in Luoling Mountain, although I didn't see you, I heard them call you Mei Xichen. After I was brought home by the maid, after I was cured of my illness, I went to the bottom of the mountain to find you. I wanted to thank you in person. But I didn’t expect that. After seeing you from a distance, I met Yagong’s national advisor, Satuo Mosha, outside the tent. This man is proficient in sorcery and has done many evil things. Even Yagong’s The king of the country is afraid of him, so I was a little scared and didn't go to see you."

"So I thought about it and went back. However, if my guess is correct, the fact that you were poisoned by insects must have something to do with him. This kind of evil magic cannot be controlled by ordinary people." Shangguan Qing finished the story in one breath. .

"That's what happened. Where is this Imperial Master now?" Mei Xichen asked hurriedly.

"He comes and goes without a trace, but even if you meet him, there is no guarantee that he will not harm you again. This is why I don't want to explain it to you. I am afraid that you will be brutally murdered again. There are some things you should never do. If you act too hastily, take your time. One day the truth will come to light." Shangguan Qing looked at Mei Xichen with firm eyes and said.

"I know that I am weak now, so don't worry, Qing'er. In the past, I might have gone to settle the score with this national master, but now that you are by my side, I will restrain myself and eradicate him when the time is right. It can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people." As she said that, Mei Xichen looked at Shangguan Qing's loving eyes and kissed her.

In fact, Mei Xichen still had some things that he didn't know, and it couldn't be said that Shangguanqing deliberately concealed them from him. It was just that it would be better not to say more about many things.

Shangguan Qing was right. She had indeed gone to the military camp that day to see Mei Xichen, and she had indeed seen the Satuo Demon Temple in the army. The backlash has not fully recovered. When the body is still weak, it is undoubtedly a sheep entering the tiger's mouth.

At that time, Shangguan Qing could barely maintain his human form and had already tried his best. Wasn't he asking for trouble when he met the imperial master?

This Imperial Master originally studied the world's evil arts. Naturally, he was good at absorbing the best materials for his own use around some immortals, deviants, or poisonous insects. He couldn't find them. Is this all? Delivered to your door?

So she thought about it and gave up the idea. Later, when I heard that Mei Xichen had been poisoned by insects, Shangguan Qing first thought of the relationship with the imperial master, and wanted to ask his mother to let her go down the mountain to save Mei Xichen.

Her mother agreed, but on one condition. Her mother transformed into a doctor and went to see Mei Xichen when the imperial master was away to maintain his life and ensure that Mei Xichen would not die of poison within ten years.

As for ten years later, if Shangguan Qing can practice hard, plus the effect of the essence fruit, and I will help you, then your Taoism can reach a thousand years, I will allow you to go down the mountain to save him, but you have to let her think about how to save him. What Mei Xichen lost was the inner elixir he had cultivated through so much hard work. If your cultivation level cannot be reached within ten years, then don't blame Mei Xichen for his short life.

This is the outline of what happened when Mei Xichen was poisoned by insects.

While Shangguan Qing recalled the scene at that time, he was thinking of ways to make Mei Xichen believe what he said.

Although there are some deviations in the plot, they are also well-intentioned.

Early the next morning, there was a noise in the front hall.

The emperor's steward, Eunuch Wei, visited and announced the emperor's imperial edict.

I saw everyone in the palace kneeling down to receive the order.

It turned out that after the conversation between the Queen and Mei Xichen ended that day, the Queen went to the Emperor the next day, meaning to ask the Emperor to arrange a suitable position for Mei Xichen in the court. Since Mei Xichen's body has gradually recovered, it should be timely which allowed him to exercise.

In fact, the emperor was not completely incompetent. Although he favored Concubine Xue, it was only a delaying tactic, because the court at this time was controlled by King Kang (that is, Xue Kang's father), and he had no choice but to make this move.

When the emperor heard the queen talk about Mei Xichen's recent situation, he was very happy, because in this way he could gradually balance the various forces in the court, so that his throne could be secure and he could sit back and relax. Therefore, the emperor drafted an imperial edict overnight, allowing Mei Xichen to serve as the commander of the Jinyi Guards, and demoted the original commander to a fellow commander to assist Mei Xichen.

It stands to reason that Mei Xichen is also a prince, but having a title but no real power is not what Mei Xichen wants. This time the queen's arrangement can be regarded as meeting his wishes.

After Eunuch Wei announced the decree, he quickly congratulated Mei Xichen and said: "I have finished reading the emperor's decree. I hope that the prince will not disappoint His Majesty's painstaking efforts. If there is nothing else, I will retire first." Eunuch Wei quickly took a few steps back and turned to leave.

"Eunuch Wei, let's go slowly." After saying that, Mei Xichen got up and walked him out the door.

After a short time, the prince and his father-in-law beside the queen also came and brought a letter to Mei Xichen. The general content of the letter was:

Chen'er, now I have reported to the Emperor that I strongly recommend you to serve as the commander of the Imperial Guards. This is not just an opportunity for you to practice. The position of commander is very important. He has the right to investigate officials at all levels and even relatives of the emperor. I hope you can find the right opportunity, continue to expand your connections, and on this basis, find out the true cause of your father's death.

After Mei Xichen read the letter, he burned the letter and the envelope together.
