At the end of April, the birthday of Suncheon Hou was held as scheduled.

The entire Hou Mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, which wiped away the dejection of the deceased mother and wife. There were a lot of guests, playing drums, harps and shengs.

Subai hated talking to stupid people. In previous years, when he held banquets, they were divided into two seats: an inner seat and an inner seat where he drank with his confidants, while the outer seat was where he entertained foreign guests, such as members of the royal family.

"I am here alone to congratulate Marquis Shuntian on his birthday."

Su Wanqing raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Su Bai knew that Su Wanqing couldn't drink wine, so he specially changed all the drinks at the banquet to peach wine sent as tribute from the Western Regions. The wine had a strong aroma and was as red as blood. It was more suitable for Su Wanqing than the hot Yunguo wine.

"I thank the prince."

Subai raised his glass, wearing his favorite crimson round-collared robe, a bun on his head, and flowers in his ears. He looked like a beautiful bearded man in a painting, brave and mighty. He smiled lightly, and his murderous and violent aura faded away.

Su Wanqing picked up another glass of wine from Shu Yu's hand, with a bright smile, like the scorching sun, which instantly caught the eyes of many nobles who looked at her son-in-law.

"I would like to offer you a drink again, Lord Marquis."

She raised her head, poured out the cup, and smacked her lips. Her mouth was filled with sweet fruit wine. The attendant of the East Palace took out the birthday gift and placed it in front of the ceremony table.

"What kind of gift has His Royal Highness prepared for me?"

Su Bai rarely smiled. Lu Ting on the other side gave Lu Ling, who was standing far away, a cold look. The relationship between the Lu family's father and daughter had always been bad. They were like enemies. They always beat and scolded each other when they met.

Wang Fei was so dazzling when he was young that he attracted countless ladies to throw flowers. When he got old, he was still as handsome as ever. Standing next to Su Bai and Lu Ting, they were all three men with beautiful beards.

"The Marquis is really anxious, but I also really want to see the birthday gift prepared by His Highness the Crown Prince."

Wang Fei's eyes were crooked and he looked friendly. Wang Can, who was drinking beside him, said nothing and pretended to be transparent.

Su Wanqing was naturally a smiling tiger when dealing with these old foxes.

"I heard that the Marquis loved purple. I happened to read in an ancient book that purple beads ground into powder and mixed with wine can strengthen the body and prolong life. I sent people to the East China Sea to search for it, and finally found it."

She opened the treasure box herself, and a wisp of pearly light slowly emerged from a purple pearl the size of a lychee, with a thin white glow and a mist-like white air.

It looks fairy-like, not like an ordinary thing.

Subai had seen a lot of good things, but he himself was dispensable. When he saw his precious daughter specially preparing gifts for him, the old father was ecstatic and grinned behind his ears.

"This pearl is really beautiful. I don't want to use it to soak it in wine. I will have it mounted on the handle of a knife someday, so I can show off this treasure to others from time to time."

Su Bai spoke exaggeratedly, and some people despised his arrogance, but they had to say good things. Seeing Su Wanqing, he admired everyone's acting skills in his heart.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is nominally the husband-in-law of the legitimate daughter of Marquis Shuntian. Apart from her, Lu Ting and Wang Fei, the two generals here spread their hands and showed Su Bai two sleeves of Qingfeng as in previous years.

"For more than ten years, brother, I have built up a mountain to give you something you like. Now that we are almost 50 years old, we don't like this anymore."

Wang Fei has a nice smile, and although Lu Ting looks serious and doesn't like to laugh, he is also a cool and humorous person.

Su Bai shook his head with a smile and looked at the birthday gifts sent by others. The gifts showed the attitude towards the recipient to a certain extent. Birthday gifts can be inhumane, but they must not be given away.

Su Bai enjoys the process of driving people crazy, especially the royal family with the surname Xiao. According to the ranking, the head of Mu Wang Xiao Jin is definitely the one.

"I used to call Prince Mu my brother-in-law. Now that Su Qu is gone, I have to change my tune and still call you Prince Mu."

Su Bai's smile continued, but Su Wanqing felt a trace of murderous intent beside him.

King Mu has been worried these days that his behind-the-scenes manipulation of the underground casino will be exposed, and he is in panic all day long. With great difficulty, he worked hard with the advice of his staff, but was suddenly defeated by Subai.

"...What the Marquis said...made it difficult for me to answer..."

If it weren't for the support of his staff, Xiao Jin would have been frightened by Su Bai and collapsed.

Su Bai was still smiling, perhaps because he wore a pretty flower in his ear, which made him particularly easy-going. Many of the disciples present were coveting Su San, who had not yet appeared.

But no one took the initiative to mention it.

"I am curious about what gift the prince will give this year. Not long ago you sent a Guanyin to the prince. Today, will you also give me a jade Buddha?"

Su Bai walked over with a smile and personally opened the treasure box in Xiao Jin's hand. It was an emerald-carved dice with a ruby ​​inlaid in the middle for counting. It was small and exquisite, a little smaller than a lychee, but also expensive.

"This makes the Marquis laugh. I thought that since the Marquis has seen so many rare treasures, I might as well find a new way to please you with small objects."

Xiao Jin is actually only three years younger than Su Bai.

However, he is far less powerful than Su Bai.

He even stood on tiptoe to look up at Suba, who was three years younger than him.

Men fight for power with all possible means, vicious and vicious, killing with a knife. Su Wanqing watched Su Bai point Xiao Jin and snickered in his heart.

The relationship between Su Qu and Su Bai was not good, but with Su Wanqing in the fight, Xiao Jin was immediately sent to Su Bai's minefield.

Subai was an orphan, with a cold temperament, and had no special feelings for his blood relatives. Only his aunt and concubines in his backyard could make him look at them more.

However, Xiao Jin was a reckless man, and he hit Su Bai seven inches as soon as he made a move.

"The dice are well made. Life is like a big gamble. You will win or lose in one bet. Winning at the beginning is nothing. Losing at the front means there is no chance for you to make a comeback."

Subai picked up the emerald and ruby ​​dice, threw it into the air, covered it with both hands, and threw out a one.

Xiao Jin glanced at Su Wanqing, wiped his sweat, and said with a smile that he had learned a lot.

Leaving aside the royal family surnamed Xiao, the family members give gifts, which can be said to be rich and noble. The gifts are antiques from the previous dynasty, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, porcelain ornaments, everything is available.

Su Wanqing secretly observed the generals giving gifts, and his eyes fell on the man wearing Nanxiang style not far away.

He was eight feet tall, had a dark face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and walked briskly. He walked forward with a wooden box in his arms.

As a fiefdom awarded to a king with a different surname, Nanxiang is equivalent to a small country in itself. The king of Nanxiang enjoys certain rights to appoint and remove officials. However, the Yun Kingdom will send a military general there every three years.

It's called assistant, but it's actually surveillance.

"Zang Fu pays homage to the Marquis, His Highness the Crown Prince."

Zang Fu was the general who presented the tortoise's back. He was worshiped as General Annan of the third rank, and his military achievements should not be underestimated.

Su Wanqing has been coveting the turtle's back for a long time, and the villain in his heart is gearing up, rehearsing the scene of snatching the turtle's back countless times.

"General Zang Fu, please get up quickly. It's a long way from Nanxiang to Yunchuan. If we take the waterway, it will take five days and five nights. It's really hard for you. Please take a seat with me."

It turns out that Su Bai opened the gifts one by one and had the intention of waiting for Zang Fu.

Zang Fu spoke with a Nanxiang accent. Su Wanqing looked at his files and found that he was indeed not a local in Yunchuan City. He was originally from Nanxiang and moved to Yunchuan in his early years with his mother who fled.

Su Wanqing mingled with a group of men, and when her ears were warm from the wine, Shu Yu stepped forward and handed a ball of paper to Su Wanqing.

Su Wanqing patted the back of Shuyu's hand and told him to be careful with his eyes, and Shuyu ran away in a hurry.

On the table, the music continued to be played, and countless beautiful dancers danced the owl dance. Their gorgeous figures were like vigorous birds, dancing gracefully, looking at the clusters of flowers, it was so beautiful.

However, Su Wanqing felt uninterested. She felt that beautiful men were still worth seeing.

Although the chat room that Pei Xianyu took her to was in a smoky atmosphere, the aristocratic families present here were all very aesthetically pleasing, and they were all handsome, and no one was ugly.

When Wang Fei was young, he was lively and informal, but he had two faces in front of others and behind him. Therefore, Su Wanqing was confused when she heard him ask her if she had a favorite dancer.

"Your Highness, there is no need to panic. The general is just joking. I don't think the Marquis will take it seriously. After all, it is common for a man to have three wives and four concubines. What's more, Your Highness is still the crown prince. It is really inappropriate to have the warm fragrance of soft jade around you." sense."

Wang Fei knew that Su Wanqing had been secretly replaced. He made fun of Su Wanqing and hinted that Su Wanqing must be surrounded by beautiful women in order to be a normal man.

"Master Hou, what do you think?"

Su Wanqing didn't want to break up with Wang Fei too early, but she knew that Wang Fei was retaliating for her rejection of Wang Can and openly made fun of her. After laughing, she pretended to be concerned and asked. It doesn't matter. Kidding.

Test her, size her up, and constantly measure where Su Wanqing's bottom line is. Once you've measured it accurately, step on it again to lower the bottom line.

Su Wanqing still had Wang Fei's tail in the underground casino in her hands. No wonder Wang Fei was making things difficult for her.

"I think it's good to have two people for the rest of our lives, but there are always disasters in the world, so we can't stop this good idea."

Su Bo was full of majesty, and his generals were all fine people. He immediately flattered His Highness the Crown Prince for his noble character, longing for his old friend, and never forgetting Su Er. He was a good prince.

Su Wanqing looked at Wang Fei's frustration. He didn't understand Su Bai's attitude towards Su Wanqing.

Lu Ting didn't like to talk, and he didn't say a word when he was drinking in the upper position. He was separated in the middle. Lu Ling and Wei Changfeng, who were right next to each other, were drinking with each other. Looking behind them, they saw many female generals.

All of them have tiger backs and wolf waists, broad shoulders and narrow waists, and are very powerful.

Su Wanqing quickly compared the names and portraits in the file with those of the female generals to confirm their identities one by one.

"Gu Ye has the same idea as the Marquis, but Gu is not yet in the crown. Having the Crown Princess alone is enough. As for the rest, we will discuss it later."

Su Wanqing knew the nature of men. They would never be satisfied while eating from the bowl and looking at the pot, just like their desire for power would never stop.

Wang Fei is a lecherous person with a very thick skin, "His Royal Highness is so affectionate, it really makes me ashamed, and I will punish myself with three cups of wine!"

After three rounds of drinking, a bunch of people were drunk and staggering around. The female general ignored them and just talked to Wei Changfeng and Lu Ling, creating a lively scene of its own.

……

After noon, the birthday banquet came to an end for the time being. Su Bai stood up and left the banquet. The person accompanying him was not Wang and Lu, but Zang Fu from Nanxiang.

Su Wanqing was thinking about the turtle's back and watched everyone leave the table together. He took advantage of the crowd and followed Su Bai.

Su Bai has a water prison where some shady enemies are imprisoned. No one can usually go in. Only Su Bai has the key to that place.

Su Wanqing witnessed with his own eyes Su Bai and Zang Fu entering the secret passage where the water prison was located.

She hesitated again and again, but still didn't dare to go in.

Su Bai's temper seems to be stable, but it is just stable and violent. Others' bad tempers are written on their faces, but Su Bai's bad temper kills people with a straight face.

She rolled her eyes and walked into the bright courtyard where she originally lived, which was Su Er's boudoir in everyone's minds.

A charcoal basin in the bedroom contains crushed ashes and burned letters that no longer exist.

Xiao Zi was imprisoned in a glass cover by Su Wanqing. It was only because Su San had the ability to capture Xiao Zi with this cover.

Su Wanqing followed suit and temporarily locked up Xiao Zi.

In her hand, she held the paper bag given by Shuyu, which was a ball of purple medicinal powder. The second blood wash was made from purple moss, and this powder was made from grinding the seeds of purple moss.

The quiet fragrance is the same as that of jasmine. It is a God-given opportunity. It is the Subai National Birthday before the Dragon Boat Festival. Everyone wears sachets around their waists to avoid poisonous insects.

Su Wanqing pulled open the tie of the sachet at her waist, pushed aside the jasmine flowers inside, and stuffed the purple moss seed powder into it.

Purple flower moss is very poisonous, and there are often various poisonous creatures around it who want to eat its seeds. Among them, there is a kind of poisonous lizard with a keen sense of smell. Every year during the breeding season, it will eat the purple flower moss to increase its own toxicity.

If male lizards are not poisonous enough, they will be eaten by female lizards as nutrients needed for reproduction. Therefore, male lizards will look for purple moss during the breeding season.

Su Wanqing learned from Kang Hu's secret letter that he specially took Shu Yu to search Su Bai's private treasury and obtained the seeds of Zihua Moss.

As for the male lizard, he was already in Shuyu's hands. He was asked by Su Wanqing to attend to other important matters.

Su Wanqing looked at his old clothes with mixed feelings in his heart. After all, he was the person who had raised him for ten years. It was impossible to cut off the relationship between mother and daughter with a knife.

She tossed and turned at night, imagining countless times that she would kill everyone who had harmed her, and in the end, only Wu Tu Yue was left.

She didn't want to kill her, but Wu Tuyue and Wu Xingtian wanted to make her into a blood bag.

Su Wanqing didn't want to die. She thought about it and decided to compromise.

Kang Hu's secret letter happened to be giving her advice. He knew her dilemma and came up with a clever plan to solve Su Wanqing's urgent need.

There was the last banquet in the evening. Su Wanqing meditated alone in the bedroom to open up the poisonous veins in her body. She was even worried that the blood was not poisonous enough, so she washed the blood for a third time.

She drew the poisonous juice from the tip of Xiao Zi's tail, and used silver needles to prick various large acupuncture points outside her body. She was completely desperate, and the poison was planted in her body.

A burst of jasmine flowers drifted past her nose, and Kang Hu slowly walked out from behind a peony screen. He looked like a lonely jade mountain, tall and beautiful. Under his fox mask, he had a calculating face, but his eyes were like a child's.

Simple and innocent.

"Now that we're all here, stop watching on the sidelines and come over and help me."

This was the first time Kanghu met Su Wanqing after selling him out.

Su Wanqing did not intend to be polite to Kang Hu. She knew that Kang Hu would come to protect her.

Three hours later, blood flowed all over Su Wanqing's body, and strange bulges appeared in his blood vessels. Every once in a while, there were Gu insects struggling to break out of his body.

The lovesickness Gu planted before was also forced to the center of the eyebrows by the scorpion poison, converging into an inconspicuous red dot.

Kang Hu raised his hand and injected three lines of zhenqi into Su Wanqing's back, temporarily blocking the extra internal energy in Su Wanqing's body.

The third blood washing was barely successful. Su Wanqing looked at the second poisonous lines on her wrists without smiling with joy.

"You have to wash the blood one after another. Your physique is too suitable for cultivating the poison path and you can't bear it. I will use my true energy to seal 30% of your internal power. If necessary, you can use all your internal power by breaking through these three seals."

Kang Hu handed her three poison needles.

That is the key to breaking the seal.

Su Wanqing nodded, "Success or failure depends on this. I'll go to Su Bai first and ask for the turtle's back. You can just follow Wu Xingtian from a distance."

The two separated. As soon as Su Wanqing went out, she saw Aunt Chen coming to look for her.

"Madam is looking for an orphan. What do you mean?"

Bai Ru had faked his death, and Su Bai had seen Aunt Chen raise her as his wife. These days, she was the one organizing the banquet.

Su Wanqing saw that she was haggard and looked a little lonely. She must have been because her most beloved daughter was not around. Seeing the mother and daughter in pairs at the banquet table, Su Wanqing felt sad.

Chen Mengyu bowed to her, but she didn't know that the person in front of her was Su Wanqing, who was pretending to be dead.

"Your Highness, the Marquis asked you to go to his study for important matters."

Su Wanqing said goodbye to her and went to look for Su Bai.
