People in the Qin Dynasty sought good fortune and avoided misfortune.

Chapter 251, The Antidote and the Trade
Looking at the fierce Yan Lingji, Bai Yifei, hidden behind a black mask, merely smiled contemptuously and said with his hands behind his back.
"You are beautiful, but that is not a blessing, but a curse."

"Then do you want to taste the power of the fires of revenge?"

Yan Lingji's magnetic voice was filled with killing intent. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Bai Yifei, her black hair fluttered, and her inner energy condensed into a phantom of flames behind her.

"Revenge? If you have the ability, it's called revenge; if you don't, it's called self-destruction."

Bai Yifei chuckled lightly, turned around and walked towards the outside of the Crown Prince's residence.

Many people are now eyeing the Crown Prince's residence. If he makes a move and exposes his identity, it will cause him a lot of trouble.

Having achieved their goal of putting Tianze in his place tonight, they naturally wouldn't let a few words of provocation ruin the overall situation.

Bai Yifei's figure was like a ghost, covering several meters in a single step, instantly closing the layers of doors that had been open.

The loud sound of the door slamming shut echoed within the Crown Prince's residence, and Bai Yifei soon disappeared from Tianze and the others' sight.
As Bai Yifei left, the chill that filled the surroundings instantly dissipated, and the oppressive aura vanished without a trace.

The frost on the bluestone floor melted away, and the frozen pool of blood began to flow again.

But Tianze and the others still looked terrible.

Yan Lingji, the Corpse-Driving Demon, and the Hundred Poison King silently looked at Tianze, awaiting his next command.

"Go and bring that miracle doctor from Xinzheng."

Tianze held the antidote in his hand, his voice hoarse and cold.

It's not pleasant to have your life and death in someone else's hands. If he can't break free from Bai Yifei's control, he will never be able to take revenge, let alone fulfill his grand plan to restore his country.

Even though he still harbored distrust towards the people of the Central Plains, Tianze had no other choice but to trust Xu Qing's medical skills.

The King of Poisons glanced at Tianze with his cloudy eyes and then lowered his head. As one of the top poison doctors in Baiyue, he was proficient in all kinds of poisons and various Gu insects, but now his master needed to ask the people of the Central Plains for help, which made him feel ashamed.

"Master, this man is the Imperial Physician of Korea. Can he really be trusted?" the Corpse-Driving Demon asked with some concern.

If Xu Qing were just a person from the Central Plains, that would be fine. The key is that he is the Imperial Physician of the State of Han, who is favored by the King of Han. In the eyes of the Corpse-Driving Demons, it would be difficult for such a person to genuinely cooperate with them and help Tianze detoxify.

Yan Lingji glanced sideways at the Corpse-Driving Demon. Although Xu Qing did not reveal his identity to her, the people from the Hidden Dragon Hall also kept quiet.

But Xu Qing's reputation was so great that it was easy to find out with just a little inquiry.

"He is no loyal subject; his hands are stained with the blood of the Korean royal family."

Yan Lingji spoke softly, a playful smile on her pretty face.

"It doesn't matter, as long as he can help me break free from my shackles, it doesn't matter if he's from the Central Plains or someone else. We have the bargaining chips they all need, and even that useless Crown Prince Han isn't entirely worthless."

Tianze looked at the Corpse-Driving Demon and Yan Lingji, and said with a sneer.

Now that things have come to this, he no longer cares about Xu Qing's identity. As long as he can get rid of the Gu poison in his body, he is willing to make some deals with Xu Qing.

For example, the Crown Prince Han in his possession.

Xu Qing was the Imperial Physician of Han and a supporter of Han Fei. If the Crown Prince of Han was used as a bargaining chip, he felt that Xu Qing had no reason to refuse.

Moreover, he had Yan Lingji by his side, and Yan Lingji's fire charm technique had never disappointed him.

Yan Lingji nodded slightly, turned around and walked towards the outside of the Crown Prince's residence, her figure gradually disappearing into the darkness.

The Corpse-Driving Demon brandished his cane and followed Tianze toward the secret chamber of the Crown Prince's residence.

Seeing this, the Poison King and the Peerless Ghost could only return to their posts and guard the two main gates of the Crown Prince's residence.

On the other side, Xu Qing had already returned to her home from the Han King's Palace, dressed neatly.

"What a great white shark, it really loves biting people." Xu Qing looked at his shoulder and thought to himself with a helpless sigh.

Beneath the thin clothing, Xu Qing had a neat bite mark on her shoulder.

As a master of time management, Xu Qing always pays close attention to her body's traces and scent, fearing that one day these small details might lead to someone discovering something.

While rubbing his shoulder, he began to practice the Evergreen Technique to heal the wound on his shoulder.

As soon as Xu Qing opened the door, she saw the unexpected guests in her yard.

In the dimly lit courtyard, a stunning figure stood beneath the pavilion. The faint moonlight shone upon her, mirroring her dreamlike, icy blue eyes, giving her an ethereal and unreal beauty.

Yan Lingji wore a fiery red dress adorned with black patterns, which accentuated her enchanting and dreamlike figure. Her black hair swayed in the wind, and her gentle, watery eyes shone with a thousand charms, stirring Xu Qing's senses.

Why is this little devil here? Could it be that Tianze can't withstand the control of the Withering Gu?
Xu Qing muttered to himself and walked into the courtyard, closing the gate behind him to prevent others from noticing Yan Lingji's presence.

"Why are you here? Didn't you insist on leaving with your master?" Xu Qing said indifferently.

A sly smile flashed in Yan Lingji's icy blue eyes. She flipped over and jumped down from the pavilion, running to Xu Qing's side in just a few steps.

"I just missed you, so I came to see you. Are you still jealous?" Yan Lingji wrapped one arm around Xu Qing's arm, her slender waist sinking slightly. She tilted her head back, her beautiful eyes blinking gently. Her soft voice carried a hint of soothingness and laughter, possessing a magical power that made it hard to be angry.

As she spoke, she gently shook Xu Qing's arm, her ample breasts brushing against it almost imperceptibly, as if she were being coquettish.

This delicate and coquettish demeanor has a magical power that captivates all men.

Although Yan Lingji is very beautiful and captivating, Xu Qing could even block her fire charm, let alone this little vixen's torment.

"Come on, you left without a second thought back then. It can't be anything good for you to come looking for me now."

Xu Qing glanced at Yan Lingji, pulled his arm away, and walked into the house.

He was now absolutely certain that Yan Lingji was looking for him because Tianze couldn't withstand the Hua Ku Gu anymore.

The initiative was in his hands. This little wench dared to tease him in the council hall earlier, and he was determined to get revenge.

If you sneak into someone's house in the dead of night and fail, you'll be tortured by the Imperial Physician Xu Qing!

Watching Xu Qing leave with a heart of stone, Yan Lingji remained standing there, slightly stunned, her charming eyes filled with doubt.

When she left Qianlong Hall earlier, wasn't this scoundrel very reluctant to part with her? Why has he suddenly become so indifferent? Is this still the lecherous man she knows?

Xu Qing's sudden change left Yan Lingji's little mind bewildered.

Seeing that Xu Qing hadn't closed the door after entering the room, Yan Lingji couldn't help but laugh.

"What a hypocritical and despicable man~ How interesting."

After muttering something to herself, Yan Lingji strode into the room with her long, beautiful legs. She looked around and glanced at the furnishings before spotting Xu Qing sitting at the table.

Yan Lingji walked to the table, sat down on it with her full, round buttocks, her two long, beautiful legs intertwined, her fiery red skirt falling to one side, revealing her fair and firm thighs, and her black panties were faintly visible.

"I did come to you with something, but it's something that will benefit you and cause no harm."

As she spoke, Yan Lingji leaned slightly closer to Xu Qing, her captivatingly beautiful face gradually approaching him, her tender eyes fixed on him, her rosy lips moving slightly.

A delicate fragrance wafted onto Xu Qing's chin, stirring her heartstrings. Those alluring little lips seemed to beckon her to taste.

"Come on, you've stormed the Crown Prince's residence and become the most wanted criminal in Korea. I don't have the guts to make a deal with you," Xu Qing said, yawning.

"Listen to what they have to say first. You called me a thug before, which hurt me for a long time."

Yan Lingji rolled her eyes at Xu Qing, gave a soft snort, and gently slid her slender fingers along Xu Qing's clothes.

Seeing Yan Lingji offering him a way out, Xu Qing knew he couldn't keep her hanging on any longer, or the deal might fall through.

"Really? Then tell me your conditions first."

Xu Qing grabbed Yan Lingji's small hand with one hand and pinched her pretty little face with the other.

Her skin was as white as snow, delicate and smooth; with a little force, her fingers slid down.

“I know you are the Imperial Physician of Han and support the Ninth Prince Han Fei. Now the Crown Prince of Han has been captured by us.”

"If you agree to our conditions, we can hand over Crown Prince Han to you, allowing you and Han Fei to achieve a great merit. How about that? Are you tempted?"

Yan Lingji let Xu Qing hold her hand, tilted her head slightly, and spoke in a seductive voice.

Having failed to use her Fire Charm Technique on Xu Qing twice, Yan Lingji learned her lesson and stopped trying to seduce him. Instead, she seriously negotiated and made a deal.

"Heh~ Since you all know that I support Han Fei, wouldn't it be more advantageous for me if Crown Prince Han died?" Xu Qing said with a light laugh.

He thought Tianze could offer some conditions, but he wasn't Ji Wuye or Bai Yifei. He was going to flee to Qin in a few days, so why would he care about the life or death of the Crown Prince of Han?
"I heard that King An of Han ordered Han Fei to be in charge of rescuing the Crown Prince of Han. If something happens to the Crown Prince of Han, Han Fei will also be held responsible."

Yan Lingji withdrew her hands, wrapped them around her breasts, and bulged out her ample breasts, creating a deep abyss that was clearly displayed in front of Xu Qing.

"So what? Crown Prince Han is dead, and Fourth Prince Han Yu is a cripple. Unless he takes Han Fei's life, the future of Han will ultimately belong to him."

Xu Qing said in a calm voice, his eyes filled with indifference as he looked at Yan Lingji, clearly not caring much about the condition.

Yan Lingji carefully examined Xu Qing. She was certain that this scoundrel truly didn't care about the life or death of Crown Prince Han, which was completely different from the rumors of his loyalty to the country.

"You're a stinking man too, all you think about is power and you're a hypocrite." Yan Lingji sneered and turned her head away from Xu Qing.

"We're talking business, not romance. Nobody can get something for nothing from me."

Xu Qing showed no intention of backing down. He wasn't like Liu Yi, a dragon turtle, and he wouldn't back down just because Yan Lingji got a little angry.

"If you're not convinced, then fight; if you are, then forget it." This is Xu Qing's motto in life.
