Chapter 1191 [The Glory of Tang Dynasty 18]

Shen Zhenzhu watched Li Chu approaching slowly, feeling a little nervous, but she still tried to stay calm and stopped playing the flute. She took a deep breath and said softly, "Your Majesty, I have something to say to you."

However, Li Chu didn't seem to care about Shen Zhenzhu's words. His eyes fell on the flute in Shen Zhenzhu's hand, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly. He said: "As long as you can finish playing this song and impress me, then I will give you time to speak."

Hearing Li Chu's words, Shen Zhenzhu couldn't help but hesitate. She knew that her physical condition was not very good, and it might be a bit difficult for her to play this piece of music, but she didn't want to miss this opportunity to communicate with Li Chu.

When Shen Zhenzhu was hesitant, Cui Caiping couldn't help shaking her head. She couldn't stand Li Chu's attitude towards Shen Zhenzhu and felt that he was blind. Cui Caiping thought, Shen Zhenzhu looked sick and pale as paper, but Li Chu asked her to play the flute. Isn't this taking her lightly?

Cui Caiping then said, "Sister Shen is not feeling well. It is better for her not to go out and get exposed to the wind. Your Majesty, can't you see that? Sister Shen's face is so pale. She is obviously ill. You should call the imperial physician over immediately."

Hearing this, Li Chu looked at Cui Caiping in surprise, as if he was somewhat dissatisfied with her words. But before he could speak, Shen Zhenzhu suddenly felt dizzy and her body began to shake. She tried hard to steady herself, but she couldn't hold on and fainted on the ground.

Li Chu was extremely anxious, and he immediately ordered his people to invite Murong Linzhi to the palace to treat Zhenzhu. Time passed by, and finally, Murong Linzhi hurried to the palace.

Murong Linzhi carefully felt Zhenzhu's pulse, her brows gradually furrowed. After a while, she raised her head and said to Li Chu solemnly, "Your Highness, the poison Zhenzhu was poisoned by is a chronic poison called evening primrose."

Li Chu's face suddenly turned gloomy. He turned to look at Cui Caiping. Seeing this, Cui Caiping quickly explained, "Your Highness, you don't think I poisoned you, do you? I would never do such a shameless thing!"

Li Chu responded calmly: "I did not say that you were the one who poisoned me."

Cui Caiping was relentless, "But Your Majesty, you have been staring at me. Isn't it obvious that you don't trust me?"

Li Chu sighed helplessly and did not argue with Cui Caiping anymore.

At this time, Murong Linzhi had already started to give Zhenzhu acupuncture. She was very skilled, and each needle landed precisely on the acupuncture point. As the silver needles rose and fell, Zhenzhu's complexion gradually improved.

After a while, Murong Linzhi stopped what he was doing and said to Li Chu, "Your Highness, Zhenzhu has already intended to stop taking the medicine. And judging from her current condition, taking a hot spring bath will be very helpful in expelling the toxins from her body as soon as possible."

Hongrui told Li Chu that there was a hot spring near Li Bai's mountain residence. The environment there was quiet and the water temperature was suitable. It was a very good place for recuperation.

After hearing this, Li Chu had an idea. He immediately ordered people to prepare a carriage and decided to take Zhenzhu and Murong Linzhi to Li Bai's mountain residence.

At this time, Cui Caiping was about to get up and leave. Li Chu saw this and said, "You should go with us. After all, you haven't completely cleared your suspicion yet. If you go with us, I can feel more at ease."

Cui Caiping felt a little unhappy after hearing what Li Chu said. She retorted: "Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that I will tamper with Zhenzhu's medicine?"

Li Chu smiled slightly and replied: "I will naturally keep an eye on you and won't give you the chance to do anything."

Murong Linzhi had been giving acupuncture treatment to Zhenzhu these days, and she knew that Zhenzhu needed rest. So she told Hongrui to take good care of Zhenzhu, then she gently closed the door and walked out.

When Murong Linzhi came to the door, she saw Li Chu, Cui Caiping and Li Taibai waiting there. She briefly explained Shen Zhenzhu's situation to them, and then Li Bai went straight into the room to visit Zhenzhu, leaving Murong Linzhi, Cui Caiping and Li Chu looking at each other.

Li Neng shouted to his wife to come over. It turned out that Li Neng missed his wife so much that he came from the capital to this deep mountain.

Cui Caiping had a teasing smile on her face, her eyes wandering between Li Tan and Murong Linzhi, and she said in a sarcastic tone, "Tsk tsk tsk tsk, Third Brother has followed us all the way here."

Li Neng's face turned slightly red. He glanced at Murong Linzhi, then bowed to Cui Caiping and said, "Hello, sister-in-law."

Cui Caiping waved her hands quickly and said coquettishly, "No, no, no, I don't deserve to be called sister-in-law."

At the same time, in the streets of Chang'an, Li Ruo was running away like a frightened rabbit. However, as the saying goes, enemies often meet on narrow roads, she bumped into Zheng Xun, who was having fun in the red-light district, in the bustling crowd.

When Zheng Xun saw Li Ruo, his eyes lit up immediately. He remembered the humiliation of being beaten by Li Ruo that day, and the anger in his heart was instantly ignited. He immediately ordered the servants around him to surround Li Ruo, with a fierce look on his face, and said viciously: "Okay, you little bitch, I'll catch you today!"

Li Ruo was terrified. She struggled desperately, but could not get away from those servants who were as ferocious as wolves and tigers. Seeing this, Zheng Xun became even more complacent. He grinned at Li Ruo and said, "Today I will let you taste my power to avenge you!"

Just when Li Ruo felt desperate, a figure carrying a sword passed by. This person was An Qingxu, who was drinking to drown his sorrows and didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but after hearing Li Ruo's screams for help, he couldn't help but stop.

An Qingxu turned around and saw Zheng Xun trying to make a move on Li Ruo. A flash of anger flashed in his eyes. Without saying a word, he drew his sword and stabbed Zheng Xun like lightning. With a scream, Zheng Xun's chest was pierced and blood splattered.

An Qingxu looked at Zheng Xun lying on the ground expressionlessly, then turned around and prepared to leave. However, the corner of his clothes was tightly grabbed by Li Ruo.

Li Ruo's face was covered with tears. She said to An Qingxu with tears of gratitude: "Thank you very much for saving my life, young master. I have no way to repay you. Please accept my greeting."

An Qingxu ignored her thanks and said indifferently: "No need. I just can't stand the evil man's behavior." After that, he struggled to break free from Li Ruo's hand and continued to move forward.

Li Ruo saw this and hurriedly chased after him, blocking An Qingxu's way, and anxiously said, "My lord, you saved my life, and I must repay you. My...my brother is the Prince of Guangping. If you need anything, just ask, and I will do my best to help you."

Upon hearing this, An Qingxu suddenly stopped and stared at Li Ruo, seeming a little surprised.
