Chapter 38 – Sri Sri’s Secret
“Want to live well?”
Si Li Li was stunned, looking at the uninvited Fan Xian, who she had not seen for many days, she didn’t know what to think in her heart, and listening to this sudden question, she was even more puzzled, and said with a slight smile, “Gryllotalpa still fights for its life, not to mention my slave.”
Fan Xian does not like to hear her call herself a slave, she preferred to call herself a slave today, it is still a young girl’s heart doing something, after all, she is not a real old female spy.
The carriage moved forward again, and with a slight bump, he sat down next to Si Li Li. Si Li Li imperceptibly moved to the side, seemingly to keep her distance from him. Fan Xian frowned and said directly, “There is poison in your body, and I’m sure you don’t realize this yourself.”
Si Li Li’s eyes were clear and bright as she stared into Fan Xian’s eyes, and after a long period of silence, she said quietly, “Is that true?”
“I see that you don’t seem to be very surprised.”
“I was able to get out of jail alive this time, so what else could I be surprised about?” With a slight hint of self-deprecation, Si Li Li sighed, a sigh that was very provocative, “Little Lord Fan is skilled in the use of poisons, since you said that there is poison in my body, it is naturally true, the Qing State Supervisory Court always has means of controlling me, and I have long guessed this.”
Fan Xian looked at this woman’s beautiful face and did not speak for a long time. In fact, since he entered the capital, if he really wanted to say the word “charming and colorful”, none of the women he saw around him were as good as Sili.
“This is not a means to control you.” Fan Xian explained with a smile, “It is a means used to deal with the Emperor of Northern Qi.”
Si Li Li could no longer pretend to be calm, and covered her lips with her hands in surprise before saying anxiously after a long time, “What does that mean?”
Fan Xian looked at her reaction, and for some reason, his heart was vaguely uncomfortable, although he had guessed the other party’s reaction, once he realized that that young emperor’s majesty still had a certain importance in Si Li Li’s heart,…… he smiled faintly and returned to his calmness and said, “This kind of poison will pass through your body that infects the Emperor of Northern Qi.”
Si Li Li stared at his eyes and suddenly bit her lip and said in a hateful voice, “Why are you telling me this?”
“Because I know that you want to change this matter, before you even accomplish your goal.” Fan Xian smiled gently, “That’s why I want you to tell me exactly what method Chen Pingping used to control you.”
Si Li Li fell silent and didn’t answer his question, instead, she smiled like a flower and said, “Strike that, since Lord Fan has already told my slave, and my slave went to Shangjing, I naturally have the antidote to the poison, so I really have to thank you.”
Fan Xian slightly scoffed, “This poison is not strong, but besides me, under the sky, probably only those imperial doctors in the palace have the means to cure the poison, could you tell the Emperor of Northern Qi that you carry this poison in your private parts? If you really do so, no matter how much love the Emperor of Northern Qi has for you, I’m afraid you won’t be able to enter the palace in this lifetime.”
Si Li Li stubbornly said, “So what if I don’t enter the palace? The big deal is that your inspectorate’s Red Sleeve Recruitment program is bankrupt, so what does it have to do with my slave.”
Fan Xian finally became angry and chided, “I told you, I don’t like to hear the word slave.”
For some reason, Si Li Li’s eyes reddened as she looked at Fan Xian and said fiercely through clenched teeth, “But am I not even worse than a slave in your honor’s heart?”
Fan Xian looked at this red herdsman’s clear cheeks, his brows furrowing tighter and tighter, trying to determine what the other party was thinking deep down, and only after a long time did he quietly say, “I think Miss Si should understand the current situation, and that your life, at least for the time being, seems to be one that is impossible for you to fully control on your own. …… As for how the future will be, it’s a matter of the future. And I think, girl you have not thought about those very …… nonsensical things.”
“Nonsensical things?” Si Li Li looked at him with a hint of cold smile, “Good, indeed very nonsensical, adults and I, just a pair of men and women who occasionally meet on the road of life, use each other, always warm than each other to come to some real, reliable.”
“This official is happy that the girl understands this.” Fan Xian replied calmly.
“Why are you so curious about the agreement between Chen Pingping and I?” Si Li Li secretly turned around and quietly wiped the corners of her eyes with the corner of her coat, then returned to her calmness, smiling like a first flower as she said softly, “You are the Lord Titus of the Supervisory Court, so you should know the details of the Red Sleeve Recruitment very well.”
Fan Xian said in a self-deprecating manner, “I’m well aware of the plans of the White Sleeve Trick, and at the moment, I’m just not sure how Lord President Chen convinced you.” He paused and added, “Since the girl knows that she is just a pathetic pawn used by Chen Pingping to pass on the poison, why don’t you tell me all the original details of this matter?”
“What would I gain by telling you?”
Si Li Li forced herself to be calm, looking at this young handsome sunny face in front of her, her heart itched with hatred, for some reason, during this short journey, she was gradually enamored with the innocent smile that this face occasionally revealed, but as soon as she thought of this son’s previous words of absolute indifference, she hated it from the bottom of her heart, and said coldly, “What Chen Pingping was able to give to me, could it be that you are able to give it to me? ”
“Chen Pingping is old, I am still young.”
After saying this sentence, Fan Xian and Si Li Li felt wrong at the same time, this was a very serious interest negotiation, but it seemed to bring a hint of ambiguous flirting color for no reason.
What Chen Pingping can give me, can you give me?
Chen Pingping is old, I am still young.
A faint smell of mast flowers filled the carriage, Fan Xian coughed twice, and the blush on the face of Si Li Li flickered away. This pair of men and women actually have ghosts in their hearts, otherwise they would not have been embarrassed into such a state because of these two ordinary conversations, Si Li Li’s eyes rolled, and she seemed to have figured out this reasoning, it seems that Fan Xian is still a gentleman for himself, and he could not help but blossom the corners of his lips, revealing a proud and shy smile.
Fan Xian coughed twice more and explained, “Actually, I can guess a little bit, what the girl is scheming will be big, but after all, Chen Pingping is already old and may die in a couple of years, so if the girl is willing to cooperate with me, I think that the number of successes may be a little bigger.”
Si Li Li felt slightly rancorous, but still forced to suppress her anger, and after a few moments of thought said, “Lord Fan has not yet told me what benefits I can have.”
“I will detoxify the poison in your body, and once I am able to take charge of the Supervisory Court in the future, I will definitely use the power of the Northern Region to fully assist the girl in climbing upwards in the Northern Qi Imperial Palace.”
Si Li Li shook her head and laughed coldly, “The countries are separated by borders, although Qing is powerful, and although the secret agents of the Supervisory Court are powerful, they are unable to extend their hands inside the palace of Northern Qi, and who told you that all I want is a seat in the palace of Northern Qi?”
Fan Xian was speechless for a moment.
Si Li Li suddenly turned a clear light in her eyes and beckoned her hand, like calling a pet, and smiled charmingly, “Adults come closer, this matter must not be passed on to the ears of bystanders.”
Fan Xian laughed bitterly, knowing that this woman was trying to get out of her own grievances of being left out these days, he smiled and moved his ear over, and before he could smell the sound, he felt a slightly hot breath spraying on his earlobe. His heart warmed up, smelling the gust of light and ethereal body fragrance coming from his nose, but he was immediately shocked by what came next.
After a long time, the young pair separated, and Si Li Li looked at Fan Xian with a smile on her face, saying softly, “I have taken the odd risk of telling Lord Fan about this agreement, and I dare to ask Your Excellency if you can help me complete it?”
Fan Xian’s brow furrowed into a mountainous frown, not yet shaken out of his shock, shaking his head, he said, “I don’t believe it, who is Chen Pingping, even if he had this idea, he wouldn’t tell you.”
Si Li Li said with a slight sneer, “Even you don’t believe it, he naturally isn’t afraid of me saying it everywhere, anyway, no one under the sky will believe that that old cripple’s heart even holds that kind of thought.”
Fan Xian, after a little pondering, realized what was going on and said with a smile, “So that’s how it is.” He looked at Si Li Li, suddenly said, “In the early years of the capital, there have been rumors that the Si girl is the surviving grandson of a certain royal family at the beginning of the founding of the country, originally the people of Kyoto just thought that this was a means for the girl to raise her own stature, but nowadays it seems …… as if it’s true.”
Si Li Li slowly closed her eyes for a long time before she said softly, “My real name is Li Li Si.”
Fan Xian smiled as he looked at her smooth jaw, and couldn’t help but gently rub his fingers together, and said with a sigh, “No wonder the Emperor of Beiqi won’t care about your identity, and no wonder you’ll be willing to be utilized by Ah Pingping, it’s just that I’ll have to advise you a little bit, you’re a bit of a girl, and you’re too young compared to those grim old vipers, so be careful, and if you can settle down in the Beiqi Imperial Palace, and first put the release the plan with Chen Pingping and ignore him.”
Si Li Li looked at his eyes, slightly surprised and slightly warmed, she smiled sweetly and said, “Thank you for your concern, it’s just that I’ve already told you what the agreement is, I don’t know when your honor will detoxify me.”
Fan Xian smiled and said, “From tomorrow, I need to prepare some materials, the other thing is that …… after this mission, I will find a way to take over …… that brother of the girl from the courtyard, accurately speaking, it should be that the world’s son’s Safety issue, please rest assured girl, under my hands, there will not be another occurrence of the Shizi sneaking from Northern Qi to Qing Guo.”
Si Li Li was silent as she stood up in the narrow carriage, and with great difficulty, she gave a blessing to Fan Xian.
In the middle of the previous carriage, Sean’s full head of white hair was bound tightly like steel thorns, and the old man sat silently in his chair, his hands hiked into a very strange stance like a lotus flower about to bloom, and the tail finger of his left hand was slightly curled up against the rim of the faintly smelly toilet bowl.
Sean’s body of macro thick true qi slowly run up, a faint fishy smell masked the odor of the carriage, a drop of thick black sticky liquid, from his gradually repaired meridians forced out, along the front of the tail nail, slowly flow into the toilet bowl.
