Strange love across time and space

Su Qing looked at the sky outside the window, sat up and lay in Phantom's arms, saying lazily

"What's wrong? It's not daylight yet."

Phantom lowered her head and kissed Su Qing's forehead, and said softly

"The emperor was so angry that the prince vomited blood. Right now, the palace is in chaos. The prince and the queen are very likely to take action at this time."

Su Qing immediately woke up after hearing this. She came out of Phantom's arms, sat upright, stared at her big eyes and said in surprise.

"What? The emperor vomited blood? Or was he angry with the prince? Isn't the emperor always in good health? How can he still be so angry that he vomits blood?"

"The prefect of Suzhou was corrupt and the emperor wanted to kill him. The prince did not agree and contradicted the emperor."

Su Qing got off the bed, her feet were bare. Seeing this, Phantom sat her down on the bed, knelt down and put on her shoes, then lifted Su Qing up and poured her a glass of water. Su Qing drank the water and sighed, thinking of the kind face of the emperor. Every time he made a contribution, the emperor would praise and reward him. Originally, Su Qing did not intend to get involved in royal affairs, but she always felt that if the prince or King Rui succeeded to the throne, she would not have a good life, so she could only help King Jin.

So, Su Qing looked at Phantom and asked

"Did this matter spread outside the palace?"

Phantom shook his head "Not yet."

Su Qing grinned and put her arms around Phantom's neck.

"Then please Phantom to go to Prince Jin's Mansion."

Phantom stroked Su Qing's hair lovingly

"Okay! I will do whatever Qingqing asks me to do."

In Prince Jin's Mansion, a dark shadow fell on Prince Jin's bedside. Prince Jin had been fighting all year round and was already very vigilant. He immediately opened his eyes, reached under the pillow, and held the dagger tightly.

Phantom snorted coldly.

"As expected of a martial arts practitioner, his vigilance is quite good." After saying that, he waved his hand and the candle on the table lit up. King Jin opened the bed curtain and saw Phantom sitting leisurely on a chair. asked coldly

"Phantom? In the middle of the night, you are not in the Su Mansion. Why do you want to come to my Prince Jin's Mansion?"

Phantom doesn't talk nonsense to him either

"The emperor wants to kill the governor of Suzhou, but the prince does not agree. The emperor is so angry that he vomited blood. Now his life or death is uncertain. Qingqing asked me to tell you that the prince and the queen may usurp the throne at this time, so you can prepare in advance!"

After saying that, before King Jin could speak, he jumped out of the window.

King Jin was stunned for a moment before he reacted. Although he was surprised by the Phantom's martial arts skills, he didn't think too much. He called Qianfeng and gave a few instructions, and Qianfeng quickly left the Jin Palace.

Phantom returned to Su Mansion and saw Su Qing sitting on the bed, and asked worriedly

"Qingqing, why aren't you sleeping?"

Su Qing shook her head, "I can't sleep. I always feel that the emperor is a little strangely ill this time. Although anger hurts the liver, it is a bit abnormal to vomit blood just because his son contradicted him. Phantom, do you think the emperor is sick?" Maybe it was poisoned a long time ago?"

Phantom sat on the bed, hugged Su Qing, stroked her long and silky hair, and said lovingly

"Qingqing can't sleep just because of this?"

Feeling the person in his arms nodding, Phantom smiled helplessly

"It doesn't matter if they are poisoned. We still don't care about the royal affairs. Just let them kill each other. If you want King Jin to inherit the throne, we can help you."

Su Qing raised her head, hesitantly pursed her lips and said half-coquettishly

"However, the emperor is not kind to me, and he is still a wise king. If he is harmed like this, I will always feel a little bit unbearable."

Seeing her like this, the Phantom couldn't help but scratch her nose.

"I don't know anything else. I only know that the emperor is taking an elixir recently. The elixir is said to have been refined by a Taoist priest from Prince Rui and Concubine Shu..."

Having said this, Phantom suddenly paused and murmured

"Taoist? Pill?"

"Phantom, what's wrong? There's something wrong with the Taoist and the elixir?"

Su Qing looked at Phantom with confusion.

Phantom came back to his senses and frowned slightly

"Qingqing, you go to bed first. I have something to go out and I will tell you when I come back."

After saying that, he helped Su Qing onto the pillow and covered her with the quilt. He turned around and disappeared.

There was still chaos in the palace, but a group of black shadows quietly entered the imperial study. The phantom stood in the middle of the imperial study, with its eyes closed, and its body exuded wisps of black energy. Feeling the surrounding atmosphere, after a while, All the black energy gathered on a wall. Phantom walked over and turned the vase on the wall. A small secret compartment was immediately opened on the wall. There was a white porcelain vase in the secret compartment. Phantom took it in his hand, opened the porcelain vase, and poured it out. He took out a few pills, put them under his nose and smelled them. The faint aroma of bamboo leaves made Phantom change his face.

"Maozhu, it is indeed you."

Phantom took one of the elixirs and put it in his sleeve pocket, then put the rest back before disappearing into the royal study.

The next day, the Su Mansion received news that the emperor was seriously ill and unable to attend court early, so the prince Zhao Linye took over the affairs of the court on his behalf. As soon as the news came out, there were various speculations in various palaces in the capital. Some people thought that this was a precursor to the prince's succession to the throne. But the Su family didn't think so. During breakfast, Su Qing told the family the reason why the emperor was seriously ill, and also expressed her speculation that the prince and the queen would take action.

Su Qixuan nodded

"Well, Qingqing's analysis is reasonable. The Queen and the Xiao family have been suppressed too much by the Emperor. If there is no action, it will be difficult to turn around. This time, it is very likely that the person who lets the prince handle the affairs of the court is not the Emperor, but the Queen. One party.”

"Then father, what should we do?" Su Rui asked worriedly.

"Just do your own thing." Su Qixuan said.

"But father, the relationship between the queen and our Su family has always been bad. If the prince succeeds to the throne at this time, it may be detrimental to the Su family." Su Rui asked.

"Brother, don't worry." Su Qing smiled. "I have asked Phantom to tell King Jin about this news. His Highness King Jin will not remain indifferent! Moreover, the reason why the Emperor is seriously ill cannot be hidden. If everyone knows It was the prince who made the emperor angry, and he will definitely not be allowed to succeed to the throne!"

"That's good." Suri felt relieved.

After eating, Su Qing returned to her room, asked everyone to leave, and looked at Phantom worriedly.

"What happened to you last night?"

Phantom sat next to Su Qing, took her hand, put it under her lips and kissed her.

"I went to the palace again last night. I found the elixir used by the emperor." As he said that, Phantom showed Su Qing the elixir he had taken last night.

"Is there something wrong with this elixir?" Su Qing didn't know why.

"Yes!" Phantom nodded, "When I found the elixir last night, I smelled it. It was Mao Zhu who came back! This elixir must have been refined by Mao Zhu and the Taoist priest together, and I studied it carefully There is a kind of poison in this elixir. Excessive consumption will disturb people's minds and also affect their internal organs. So, dear, I suspect that the reason why the emperor is so angry that he vomits blood this time is because of this elixir. It’s about medicine!”
