Chapter 6: Poison

"Give it to me!" Upon hearing Zhou Cang's uncertain words, Liu Xu's voice fell as he took the soup medicine from Zhou Cang's hands

Your Highness

Puff!

Who are you talking about?

The original mother, grandfather, and uncle of the outside have all visited several times, but they were all turned away by Zhou Cang

Let them see hope, fix their gaze on the position of the Crown Prince. Every day in the court, many ministers have proposed to abolish and establish the Crown Prince.

The general will understand

Is ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ?

Liu Xu held off the four maidservants and cast a reassuring glance at Zhou Cang, who was on the verge of losing his patience, before downing the medicinal soup in his hand.

Liu Xu did not respond to the guard kneeling on the ground, but walked towards another guard, drawing the dagger from his waist, his palm moving swiftly

Ding! Congratulations to the host Liu Xu for consuming the spiritual medicine and obtaining 5 evolution points

The infinite evolution system devours everything, and poison is naturally no exception

The taste of the medicinal herbs is truly unpalatable

It is not surprising that they are in a state of panic, as Zhou Cang swiftly subdued Meng Bingyu, Chun Yue, Xia Rou, and Qiu Qin through the use of force.

Liu Xu recalled and remembered who the protector was. When he was the foremost genius of the Han Dynasty, the emperor sent a military general to protect him, who was approximately of second-rate general rank

Zhou Cang will return with me! From now on, he will be your subordinate! Considering this, Liu Xu decided to postpone any actions, as strengthening his own power was of utmost importance

Liu Xu ultimately took the guards away, which was clearly an act of protection, yet it still warmed their hearts

Your Highness! Let it be the autumn moon!

Liu Xu said coldly, after enhancing his strength, the blood of the Eastern Palace was completely cleansed. There are some matters that cannot rely on Zhou Cang's hands. Even though Zhou Cang is powerful, he is merely a commoner in the Han Dynasty.

The consecutive deaths of two individuals have elevated Liu Xu's momentum to its peak. As soon as he finished speaking, the guard who was questioned collapsed to the ground.

Your Highness, I bid you farewell

Zhou Cang's expression turned stern as he sensed that Liu Xu's breath remained unchanged, which reassured him. He also confirmed one thing: there was indeed poison in the medicinal soup.

You all go back! Pass it on, this king will rest for three days!" When he raised his head, the killing intent in Liu Xu's eyes vanished

In a flash, the guard kneeling on the ground had his head severed, and he coldly uttered, "Since you are unwilling to speak, you will no longer need to speak in the future"

Your Highness! This is the nourishing medicine prepared in the kitchen!" Just returned to the chamber, one of the four personal maids, Xia Rou, entered the bedroom holding a bowl of medicinal soup.

Liu Xu began to shut himself off from the outside world, focusing solely on taking bitter medicine

The guard trembled incessantly, his body shaking continuously, yet he never spoke. Sensing Liu Xu's relaxed demeanor, he quickly fled backwards

The four personal maids were taken aback upon seeing Liu Xu bringing the medicine to his mouth, and they hurriedly exclaimed, attempting to snatch the bowl of medicine from Liu Xu's hand

However, with the Grand Tutor and the Empress vigorously obstructing, there has been no success, leading to a stalemate between the two parties

As the medication was swallowed, the system's notification sound continued to ring out. Watching the rapidly increasing evolution value, Liu Xu revealed a cold smile at the corner of his mouth

It seems that the Eastern Palace is about to host a grand feast Liu Xu waved his hand to indicate that there was nothing to worry about Since he dared to take the medicinal soup he naturally had a complete plan

Guard the door and do not allow anyone to enter! Those who intrude will be dealt with ruthlessly

The infinite evolution system is indeed powerful, but it has its drawbacks; it must be consumed in order to be converted into evolution value

Come! Sister Xia Rou! Leave it to me! Meng Bingyu gently took the soup medicine, lightly stirred it with a spoon, and brought it to her mouth to test the temperature

Ding! Congratulations to the host Liu Xu for obtaining 1 evolution point

There is no discovery for the time being, but I am somewhat concerned!" Zhou Cang said steadily upon seeing Liu Xu's gaze, while Meng Bingyu, Chun Yue, Xia Rou, and Qiu Qin let out a sigh of relief

Zhou Cang's actions startled Meng Bingyu, Chun Yue, Xia Rou, Qiu Qin, and others, including Liu Xu, who witnessed Zhou Cang's movements

"My lord?" After Meng Bingyu, Chun Yue, Xia Rou, and Qiu Qin walked out and the door closed, Zhou Cang took a big step to Liu Xu's side, supporting him with one hand, and asked nervously. The killing intent that Liu Xu was exuding was naturally sensed by him, and it was certain that there was an issue with the medicinal soup.

Liu Xu felt a surge of thoughts; could there be poison in the medicinal soup? Meng Bingyu, Chun Yue, Xia Rou, and Qiu Qin were equally affected, their faces instantly turning pale

Liu Xu did not even glance at the blood on the ground, stepping over the blood that had splattered onto the floor, and walked towards another guard, his words unremarkable

It is merely a small amount of evolution points, yet this little soup actually contains five evolution points, truly an excellent soup

Someone stood against him, targeting Zhou Cang, and he was utterly powerless to provide assistance

Your Highness

It seems that Liu Xu, this prince, has been forgotten, as he has not come to visit, and several other princes have also not come.

Ding! Congratulations to the host Liu Xu for obtaining 0.3 evolution points

As he was about to leave, Liu Xu said to Zhou Cang, signaling him to bring the guards along. The higher-ups are clear about rewards and punishments; if the guards were to stay behind, they would surely die at the hands of those they serve.

"It is... it is the revered one!" The guard's mind momentarily faltered, and he spoke with trembling words. After finishing his sentence, his eyes rolled back, and he was actually frightened into unconsciousness.

Liu Xu did not pursue, for he could not escape. Indeed, after running three meters, his head was directly severed by Zhou Cang, with blood spraying out nearly one meter.

Meng Bingyu, Chun Yue, Xia Rou, and Qiu Qin guard the door every day

And wait! Zhou Cang suddenly let out a fierce shout, snatching the medicinal soup with his hand, shaking it while closely scrutinizing it.

Your Highness, allow me to assist you in testing the medicine

No problem

In their hearts, Liu Xudan, whose dantian has been rendered useless and who is unable to cultivate, naturally cannot assume the position of the crown prince. In the end, he may be able to preserve his life, but his followers are destined to perish

You speak! Who has entered the treasury? Without wiping the blood from the blade, Liu Xuqiang endured his discomfort, feeling turmoil within, and walked towards another guard

After waiting for Zhou Cang to leave, Liu Xu sat on the bed and casually took a ginseng root to chew on

The remaining seven guards knelt on the ground, respectfully bidding farewell to Liu Xu as he departed. In the face of an unclear situation, they dared not choose whom to ally with

As the system alert sounded, Liu Xu lowered his head, and a glimmer of intense killing intent flashed in his eyes, holding a pill brought from the Divine Martial Gate.

Every day, several generals recruited by the original owner come to visit, appearing to have ulterior motives, but they are all blocked by Zhou Cang.

The new crown prince cannot tolerate the old crown prince possessing power, and they have also heard that currently only the crown prince and the empress support the crown prince

Ding! Congratulations to the host Liu Xu for obtaining 0.5 evolution points

Ding! Congratulations to the host Liu Xu for obtaining 0.2 evolution points

The matter of poison should not be disclosed, as it would only incite panic

"It is so! Your Highness, this servant bids farewell!" Meng Bingyu, Chun Yue, Xia Rou, and Qiu Qin, seeing that the Crown Prince's expression showed no change, breathed a sigh of relief and, without any suspicion, retreated outside

Out of consideration for Liu Xu's feelings, he did not force his way in, but sent someone to inquire daily, while the current emperor remained indifferent and unconcerned.

At this time, the entire dynasty was bustling with activity, as numerous princes began to form alliances, and the crown prince was deposed
