Chapter 147 Plan
When she arrived at the door, Rong Sudu heard that there were at least two people in Shen Peiqing's room.
But when he opened the door, he saw no one except him.
Just as she was looking inside suspiciously, Shen Peiqing walked a few steps closer. He seemed to be somewhat happy and was looking at her.
"What do you want to see me for?"
Rong Su found it a little hard to adapt to such a cheerful expression.
She looked away, unable to bear his overly scorching gaze, and raised the medicine box in her hand.
"Let me take your pulse and check the status of your meridian repair."
Only then did Shen Peiqing notice the box in her hand. He quickly reached out and put the box on the table for her, then narrowed his eyes and looked at her.
"You finally care about me and care about checking my meridians?"
This sounded a bit strange, but Rong Su didn't really do it just to check his pulse. Of course, she hadn't checked his pulse since the quarrel with him that day.
At least this is one of her tasks, and she needs to do her best and not get too angry about certain things and ruin things.
She straightened her face and said to him seriously, "Sit down."
Shen Peiqing sat down immediately, straightened his upper body, put his hands on the table obediently, rolled up his sleeves, and then looked at her seriously.
Seeing how cooperative he was, Rong Su naturally had nothing to say. She sat down as well and placed two fingers on his pulse.
After a while, Rong Su felt that his meridians were indeed recovering step by step, and the biggest damage was actually improved because of the Snow Seven Grass.
The effect of the Sophora flavescens is only to speed up his recovery.
He took out a pen and paper from the medicine box and wrote a prescription on it.
"Give this recipe to Shitou and have him prescribe it for you. Then take it for about half a month."
After hearing this, Shen Peiqing didn't want to ask, but then he remembered that he should only need Baikushen to be completely cured now, so why did he need to take other medicines.
"Isn't it enough to just find the Hundred Sophora Flavescentis?"
Rong Su glanced at him sideways, then cleared the things on the table and put them in the medicine box. She said slowly, "Take some more proper care. You seem to have a bit of dry heat in you lately. This is for you to treat that dry heat."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Peiqing seemed to be choked by something, and he kept coughing with his fist to his lips.
Seeing him coughing so violently, Rong Su frowned: "No, I just took your pulse and you should not have any hidden dangers of throat disease."
As he said this, he was about to reach out to grab his hand and take his pulse.
Seeing that she was about to pull his hand again, Shen Peiqing seemed to be stimulated by something and instinctively dodged, then his eyes dodged.
"I choked when I accidentally swallowed."
She looked at him suspiciously, and he avoided her gaze a little unnaturally. Rong Sulue was a little speechless, but since he said it was okay, then it was okay. Anyway, she really didn't find any big problems.
After collecting the things, Rong Su felt that he could explain the specific purpose of his visit this time, and said seriously, "I know you sent Shi Tou to find out the news about King Jin'an last night."
The topic suddenly turned to King Jin'an. Shen Peiqing was stunned for a moment, and then his expression became obviously cold.
Seeing that he remained silent, Rong Su continued, "I know you want to develop your power in the Dongzhou region. I also know that some of the power you developed in Zhongdu seems to be being suppressed by Shen Fengyu."
Shen Peiqing was not surprised that Rong Su knew all this. After all, she had a spy expert like Aku, so it was no problem for her to find out any information she wanted.
He was silent for a moment, then sighed slightly: "So you also want to win over Prince Jin'an."
Seeing that Shen Peiqing understood everything immediately, it was indeed comfortable to talk to smart people.
"Yes, I'm here to cooperate with you." Rong Su nodded seriously and immediately put forward his idea.
But Shen Peiqing looked at her with a deep and impenetrable look. He leaned his upper body slightly towards her, a little closer to her. It was this feeling that made her unable to grasp it, and she frowned and wanted to step back.
Shen Peiqing seemed to notice her reaction. When he saw her stand up and take a step back, he took a step forward until he forced her into a corner.
At this time, Rong Su saw that she had nowhere to retreat, so she looked straight at Shen Peiqing and stretched out her hands to push him away a little, but he suddenly grabbed her hands.
"I'm fine with cooperation, but I don't want to call you Rong Su anymore."
What does that mean? This sudden change of topic left her unable to catch up with his thoughts.
He lowered his head, his dark eyes firmly grasping her gaze, and said in a low voice: "I want to call you, Xiao Su, can I?"
Rong Su was in a daze for a moment, unable to understand why this man was so obsessed with a name at this moment, and she frowned.
"You can call me whatever you want, so you agree to cooperate, right?"
Unexpectedly, she was so straightforward. His somewhat anxious heart was relieved. After a moment of hesitation, he asked again in a tone that sounded like a request:
"I also hope you won't call me by my first name anymore. I want you to call me Qing. Is that okay?"
What's wrong with calling him by his first name? Isn't that what we always do?
Rong Su looked at him and couldn't understand what he wanted, but she was not the kind of person who cared about this. It was just a name.
However, she stared at him and asked, "Do you mind being called by my first name?"
Actually, not really, Shen Peiqing thought so in his heart, it was just that Gu Yun called her so intimately, and he wanted to be closer to her than Gu Yun.
He couldn't reveal this selfish motive to her for the time being, so he could only selectively change his words: "I am the former Crown Prince of Beizhou."
After hearing what he said, Rong Su understood that it was his self-feeling of noble status that was driving him.
After understanding it, Rong Su no longer had any doubts. After all, she had been the apple of everyone's eye in the past, but now that she was down and out, she still had to maintain some dignity and face.
"Alright. Enough of the nonsense, let's talk about how to save Prince Jin'an."
"Also, can you move away a little?" She looked at the distance between them and saw that they were too close, so she frowned and reminded him.
Knowing that she agreed to his proposal, Shen Peiqing felt as sweet as if it were coated with the finest honey, and he was so happy that he forgot his attitude for a moment.
Upon hearing that, he quickly let go, then stepped back, keeping a suitable distance from her.
"The reason why Prince Jin'an was detained and imprisoned was ultimately because of the defense map." Shen Peiqing began to express his seriousness and analyze carefully.
Rong Su agreed with his statement and nodded, then asked, "I know that. So we need to find the defense map? But Ying'er's whereabouts are mysterious, even a little strange."
Shen Peiqing sent people to investigate this issue as soon as he knew that Prince Jin'an was detained.
After the departure of Ying'er, the woman who pretended to be Lianxin, everyone seemed to only remember her name, but no one could remember what she looked like.
In this sense, this person is dangerous and very strange.
"I've sent Shitou to inquire among the Jianghu community to see if there are any sorcerers or special talents who can disguise themselves, use psychedelics, or use some kind of object to manipulate people."
Hearing that Shen Peiqing had sent Shitou to investigate Ying'er, Rong Su did not ask any more questions. Shen Peiqing was at least the big villain in this world, and she still believed in his ability.
"Besides investigating the lost defense map, what other plans do you have? I still don't have a clue, but I got some information from Akuna."
"What information?" Shen Peiqing's eyes narrowed slightly.
Rong Su did not hide anything: "The royal family of Dongdu bought the first-grade Jiuhong from the Poison Sect. The first-grade Jiuhong is a new poison I developed a few days ago. I gave the recipe to Aku to handle the production and sale."
"I just didn't expect that in just one month, so many people have already bought the first-grade Jiuhong, and some of them even include members of the Dongdu royal family."
Shen Peiqing said solemnly, "We need to find out which member of the Dongdu royal family bought the poison. This will be our best chance to get close to the Emperor of Dongdu."
Seeing that Shen Peiqing had the same idea as herself, Rong Su nodded and said, "I've asked Aku to do his best to investigate. The person who bought the poison was very cautious and didn't seem to have sent anyone close to him to buy it."
"We in the Poison Sect also have clear regulations. The poisons we sell cannot be used to harm members of the Three Continents' royal family. And once sold, whatever the buyer does with the poison has nothing to do with the Poison Sect or the Hundred Sects."
Shen Peiqing glanced at her and understood that she had her own plan for managing the sect, but he didn't expect that the management was so well organized. He couldn't help but have some expectations of her.
"What if someone breaks the sect's rules?" Shen Peiqing asked the question directly.
Rong Su suddenly sneered, "The Bai Tiao Sect and the Poison Sect will no longer entertain this person's three generations of direct descendants, and the main purchaser will be severely punished, not to mention being poisoned for a year and some other punishments."
"These are the specific rules that the Poison Sect will release before they cooperate with it. If they are violated, they will be severely punished without mercy and no leniency!"
She seemed to be still as cold and cruel as before, but he might have disliked this side of her in the past, but he didn't feel that way now.
He even felt fortunate, thinking that she was protecting herself by having such a character.
After finishing her words, Rong Su glanced at the silent Shen Peiqing, only to find that he was staring at her intently, with an indescribable look in his eyes.
It’s like a loving elder’s satisfaction at the good work of his juniors, and perhaps a little bit of doting on the little ones.
Pamper?
Shen Peiqing dotes on her?
Several question marks floated over her head. Rong Su immediately denied this idea and looked at him again. His eyes remained unchanged, so she turned her eyes away instantly.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I'll have Aku find out who purchased the first-grade Jiuhong as soon as possible. So what other ways do we have to get close to the Emperor of Dongzhou?"
When Shen Peiqing saw that she suddenly didn't look directly at him, he felt a little confused. Was it because he stared at her too much and she was shy?
When he thought that she felt shy because of him, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise a little.
"The Emperor of Dongzhou will be holding a banquet for his fiftieth birthday soon. He will invite people from three continents and one city. When the time comes, the three continents and one city will send people to attend the banquet."
Shen Peiqing shared the information he knew with Rong Su.
After hearing this information, Rong Su fell into deep thought and couldn't help but ask, "So you plan to sneak into the palace through the birthday banquet, and then take the opportunity to meet with the Emperor of Dongzhou?"
Seeing Shen Peiqing shook his head, he didn't seem to have such intentions.
"So what's going on? What are your plans? Don't keep me in suspense." Rong Su was a little anxious and wanted to know Shen Peiqing's specific thoughts. The situation in the three continents was already very chaotic. Even though she had the memories of her previous life and the help of a reader.
But now, because she has completed a lot of side quests, these butterflies have quietly made everything different and changed.
For example, regarding the epidemic, when she sent the message to Aku, she actually asked him to investigate the matter.
Although the epidemic has spread, it seems to have been controlled near Ancheng in the northwest.
There is no sign of spreading outward for the time being, which is completely different from the previous life.
In the previous life, it spread to three continents in just a few months.
The more I think divergently, the more I feel that it is difficult for me to use my memories of my past life to control the situation.
Shen Peiqing had no idea that Rong Su had thought of many things in just a few seconds. He just saw that she seemed to become a little solemn and uneasy.
This made him worried, so he no longer hid it from her and told her part of his plan.
"The Emperor of Dongzhou is extremely devoted to God and always offers sacrifices to the heavens and asks for his destiny during his birthday banquet."
Sacrifice to heaven and ask for destiny?
She didn't ask Aku to investigate this, so she really didn't understand it.
Looking at Shen Peiqing, he felt that the former Crown Prince of Beizhou should not be underestimated. After all, when he was the Crown Prince, he must have been involved in many important government affairs, and he should have some understanding of the current situation and the emperors of various continents.
"Are you planning to use this to get close to the Emperor of Dongzhou?" Rong Su had already guessed what he was thinking.
Seeing that Rong Su seemed to understand his thoughts, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth slightly, but quickly returned to his calm expression.
"Yes. I will then act as the Heavenly Master's follower. Once the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony is over, while the Emperor of Dongzhou is bathing and burning incense, I will have the opportunity to sneak in and find a chance to meet him."
After listening to his plan, I felt it was feasible. After all, the Heavenly Master appointed by the Emperor of Dongzhou would definitely not bring only one follower. It was a good idea to enter without being noticed by others, accompanied by many followers.
"Okay. If you need my help, tell me. Since we have the same goal, I also need to add some credit." Rong Su bluntly expressed his need to accept the favor of King Jin'an.
Shen Peiqing didn't think there was anything wrong with it. On the contrary, her unconcealed thoughts made him feel more comfortable.
"Then I will give you a task."
Have a mission?
When Rong Su heard about the mission, she became quite enthusiastic and her expression became serious: "So what is the mission?"
Seeing her eyes open with round eyes, she looked like a cute little rabbit, so cute and adorable that he couldn't help but want to reach out and pinch her soft and delicate cheeks like peach blossoms.
But in the end he still restrained himself, fearing that this action would scare her, and also fearing that it would make her angry like before. Now he finally waited until she was willing to pay attention to him again.
"Stay here and wait for my news."
After saying that, before he left, he raised his hand and gently stroked her head, then left quickly.
Rong Su just reacted and turned around, but he disappeared.
After digesting that sentence, she suddenly became furious: "Shen Peiqing!"
Is this being underestimated?
asshole!
The next day, when she didn't find Shen Peiqing, she decided to practice darts like crazy to calm her inner unhappiness.
But after practicing for a while, Shi Tou came to her and even gave her a book.
I saw it written on it: Floating on water.
Just as she was about to ask, Shitou answered her doubts: "This is the Qinggong picture book that the master asked me to bring you. Miss Rong, go and take a look at the contents first. The master said that after this matter is resolved, he will teach you personally."
