Chapter 327: Si Nan’s Hate

As soon as Si Nan arrived at the Palace, he took Lou Mu Yan to a remote but quiet and gorgeous palace.

Lou Mu Yan also hoped to get rid of the poison as soon as possible and go back, so she let him hurry.

When walking into a bedroom of the palace, they happened to meet a middle-aged man wearing a bright yellow dragon robe walking out with a look of excitement and exhaustion on his face.

When he saw Si Nan, he paused, then his eyes burst with excitement and he shouted cautiously: “Nan’er, you’re back!”

He had just heard that his son had entered the top ten of the Tian’ling Continental Tournament for Hegemony and he couldn’t help but be excited.

When Si Nan saw the man, he returned to his heartless cynicism. He took out a gold foil folding fan and fanned it, and his androgynous handsome face was filled with sarcasm, “Aiya, what kind of wind is blowing today! It actually blew Emperor Father who has a host of problems everyday over here.”

He called him ‘Emperor Father’, but there was sarcasm in his expression and eyes, and there wasn’t much respect in his tone.

Lou Mu Yan stood beside Si Nan without speaking or greeting. She could see that Si Nan had a kind of disdainful hatred for this Emperor. Maybe it was a hatred that rose after the respect and love he once had, so it was so strong that even she could feel his resentment.

As a friend, even if the other party was the Emperor of a superpower kingdom, she would still definitely be on Si Nan’s side.

Moreover, looking at the current situation, Si Nan’s Concubine Mother’s poison was definitely inextricable from the Emperor. Lou Mu Yan was more disgusted with scumbags—even her uncle wasn’t pleasing to her eye.

If it weren’t to help her aunt live a more pleasant life and let her aunt learn how to be self-reliant, otherwise she would’ve cleaned up the so-called Emperor of Yan’zhou Kingdom who supposedly had been ‘forced’ to do as he did.

On one hand, these men said that they loved a certain woman deeply, but on the other hand, they had to constantly accept other women. They also claimed that in order to balance the power in the palace, they were just pretending to express their affection, even if the woman that they loved was hurt by it. But for what?

Si’tu Yi, the Emperor of Rui’an Kingdom heard the sarcasm in Si Nan’s voice, but his expression didn’t change, as if he had known it would happen. He sighed and said: “Whether you believe it or not, your Concubine Mother being poisoned is the last thing I want to see.”

“Then go and kill that mother and son pair to vent your anger for my Concubine Mother.” Si Nan immediately put away his smile and said coldly.

Si’tu Yi’s eyes constricted, furrowed his brows, and said: “There’s still no evidence for whether Concubine Xian really poisoned her or not. If you kill her just based on your speculation, how can you convince the public? Besides, Yu’er is your own biological elder brother. I don’t expect you brothers to be friendly with each other, but I don’t want to see you kill each other.”

Seeing Si Nan’s face getting colder, Si’tu Yi immediately added: “If your mother can wake up or you can find enough evidence, zhen will punish Concubine Xian as you wish.”

“Humph, in the end, you just can’t let go of that mother and son. Even if they are murderers, you’ll still protect them, hypocrite!” Si Nan snorted coldly, grabbed Lou Mu Yan’s arm, and quickly entered the imperial bedroom.

How obvious was the evidence back then? Concubine Xian, that woman, just cried and knelt outside of the hall for a few days, then that man really believed her innocence. It truly was disgusting him.

Si’tu Yi’s face sank. The woman he loved the most had been in a coma for a decade. If they couldn’t find a cure, then she would slowly lose her vitality, while his most beloved son regarded him as a beast. His heart was as if it were being cut with a knife.

Concubine Xian had been with him for so many years. Even if he didn’t love her, there were still feelings. Most importantly, the evidence wasn’t enough right now, so how could she be convicted?

The Second Prince was also one of his favourite sons. Although he wasn’t as good as Si Nan, but he had still been pampered by him for so many years, so how could he go and kill them with his own hands?

He closed his eyes in pain. Then he suddenly remembered something and asked the leader of the secret guard behind him: “Who was the woman who entered the palace bedroom with Nan’er earlier?”

Although his son was frivolous with a poisonous tongue on the surface, but he knew that it was just a way to hide himself. This was the first time he saw his son bring a woman here, so he couldn’t help but be curious.

“Reporting to Emperor. That woman is called Lou Mu Yan, a person from the small kingdom of Yan’zhou in the Eastern Region.” The leader of the secret guard saw Si’tu Yi furrow his brows and continued: “But this time, she amazed everyone. She not only has become the black horse of this session’s Tian’ling Continental Tournament for Hegemony, but also won the first place.”

As early as when Si Nan led her here, did he already find out the details of Lou Mu Yan.

“First place?” The shock on Si’tu Yi’s eyes replaced his gloom, then asked after a bit: “What did Nan’er bring her here for?”

“Reporting to Emperor, this has not been found yet.”

“Forget it, he can do whatever he wants to do recently. In three more months, he will go to Heavenly Secret Palace to report. It will be difficult for me to meet him again.” Si’tu Yi sighed, turned to look at the two figures that had already disappeared, then turned around and walked out of the palace.

Since that woman could win the first place in the Tournament for Hegemony, then she must have her own abilities. As long as she wasn’t a woman of unknown origin, then he wouldn’t interfere with his son’s developments.

After entering the bedroom, Lou Mu Yan saw that there was a millennium-old warm jade bed at the very innermost corner, on which a stunning woman who was pale and bloodless laid, but was still exceptionally beautiful.

“She is my Concubine Mother.” Si Nan looked at the woman on the bed, his cold eyes melted away with warmth.

Lou Mu Yan nodded: “I’ll take a look first.”

After speaking, she went straight to the big bed and sat down, picked up the woman’s wrist and began to feel her pulse.

After a while, her willow brows furrowed slightly, and she changed the hand and felt the pulse again. She breathed a sigh of relief after a bit and said: “Fortunately, the poison hasn’t entered the heart veins, otherwise even celestial immortals would have difficulty saving her.”

Si Nan loosened his tightly clenched fists and asked excitedly: “Is there any help for my Concubine Mother?”

“Did someone protect her heart with a Seal before?” Lou Mu Yan asked without answering.

“Yes. The Enshrined Chief Physician of the Imperial Family used a Secret Skill to seal the heart of Concubine Mother a decade ago when she was poisoned. It’s a pity that he’s been studying for ten years but still can’t solve the Water Illusion Nether Dream.” Si Nan sighed.

Lou Mu Yan’s eyes revealed a trace of understanding, “It’s also thanks to his Seal that your Concubine Mother has survived until now. I can cure the poison, but I need to prepare some Spiritual Herbs to refine a pill, and I don’t have time to study this seal to break it. So ask that enshrined Physician to break it.”

The Seal placed by that person used a special secret technique. Although she could break it, but it would take several days. She didn’t want to waste it on this kind of thing. She still had to rush back to Yan’zhou Kingdom.

“No problem. If the enshrined Physician heard you can cure the poison, he would definitely come find you personally.” Hearing that Lou Mu Yan could detoxify it, Si Nan’s emotions that were affected by Si’tu Yi also felt better.

“Help me pay attention to any news from Yan’zhou Kingdom. I’ve been feeling a little uneasy recently.” Lou Mu Yan said after thinking for a bit.

She just had a bad premonition and after a little predicting, figured that something might happen at home in the near future. However, they would be safe within a month, so she asked Si Nan to investigate first.

“Alright, I’ll arrange for someone to find out what’s going on in Yan’zhou Kingdom recently.” Si Nan nodded in agreement with a serious expression.

“By the way, do you want to live in this palace or find somewhere else?” Si Nan asked.

Lou Mu Yan said without hesitation: “Just stay here. In the next three days, I’ll open up a few acupuncture points for your Concubine Mother for the ease of the coming treatments.”

“Alright, I’ll get someone to prepare a room for you.”

“Go collect the Spiritual Herbs I want as soon as possible. I want to use it to refine the elixir for the Water Illusion Nether Dream. These Spiritual Herbs must be delivered to me within five days at most.” Lou Mu Yan handed a written list to Si Nan.

Si Nan took it over and looked at it with a solemn expression, “Alright, I’ll definitely find a way to get them and deliver it within five days.”
