Murong Xue paused, in the past, people who did a deed of merit were all rewarded according to the Emperor’s preferences . Why was it now that she was the one to make her own demands?
She glanced at Ouyang Shaochen quietly and saw his thick black eyebrows puckering up . It seemed that he did not understand the situation, either .
Murong Xue’s eyes flashing, and she then lightly said to the Emperor, “Thank you for your recognition, Your Majesty . But I lack nothing, so I ask for nothing . . . ”
“I’ve already granted you a right . If I take back my word, I would become the man without credit . ” The Emperor looked down from a height at her, with his eyes flashing .
“Well . . . ” Murong Xue frowned tightly, “I can’t think of any request for now . . . ”
Looking at her embarrassing face, the Emperor’s lips curved with a graceful radian which disappeared instantly, he then raised his voice, “Then you can make a request to me when you think it over . . . any request . ”
He purposely stressed the last two words, which shocked the Empress, concubines, and all civil and military officials present . The Emperor had given Murong Xue a great promise, she could get whatever she wanted, be it gold, silver, jewelries or power and status…

In a flash, all gazes mixed with envy, jealousy, nonrecognition, and anger, fell on Murong Xue . . .
Murong Xue, however, seemed unmoved, just smiled gently, “Thank you, Your Majesty . ”
Her eyes narrowed slightly . The fire she set off did burn many water snakes and saved many civil and military officials and royal families .
However, the Emperor was generally protected by the imperial guards, who were all skilled in martial arts . Even if she had not set the fire, they could have protected the Emperor from leaving here in good condition . Strictly speaking, she was not the biggest contributor . If the Emperor wanted to give her a reward, some petty favors were enough . How could he make such a big promise?
In previous years, when dragon boat races were held on the Dragon Boat Festival, only one or two water snakes could be seen at most . This year, thousands of water snakes poured out all of a sudden, which was also completely incredible .
In particular, having disappearing for many years, those large, thick and long water snakes at least 10 years old showed up again . Why did they appear today and were crazy about pestering and biting people since this year had no big particularity . . .
Were there any hidden facts she did not know?
Suddenly, a shadow seemed passing by the corner of her eye, she looked up and saw a luxurious pleasure boat floating on the lake . A young man was standing at the hatch of the boat . He was dressed in a golden robe and had a handsome and evil appearance . It turned out the man was Prince Qin Haoyan from Mo Bei!

He looked at the high platform with a faint smile and gently put down the bead curtain . In the flash when the bead curtain hanging down, his eyes turned at Murong Xue, beaming with evil and strange lights . Murong Xue narrowed her eyes, Qin Hao Yan must be scheming something!
Murong Xue stood on tiptoe, and was ready to get up and go after him . At this moment, a small pale blue snake suddenly jumped out of the water, pouncing on Murong Xue as fast as lightning . With light fishy smell, the small snake's sharp teeth instantly approached her cheek, she wanted to dodge, but was already too late . . .
“Be careful!” Ouyang Shaochen grabbed the little snake with lightning speed . The little snake instantly turned into muddy flesh in his sudden clasped hands .
He looked down at Murong Xue with full of concern in his eyes, “Are you all right?”
“Yeah, I’m fine . ” Murong Xue shook her head and looked at him with a little nervousness, “How about you?” She worried that Ouyang Shaochen would get hurt by the poisonous snake .
“I’m fine too,” said Ouyang Shaochen faintly, his eyes as deep as a pool .
“Really? Then show me your hand!” Murong Xue said softly, reaching for his sleeve . After he killed the little poisonous snake, his hand was covered by the hanging sleeve .
“Never mind, I’m really fine!” Ouyang Shaochen’s corners of the mouth bent up a shallow smile, he then casually put his arm behind his back .

Murong Xue frowned and was about to speak when the tip of her nose suddenly smelled a faint scent of blood, which was obvious mingled with the faint scent of ink and bamboo .
Her face changed greatly . She then grabbed Ouyang Shaochen’s hand and pulled it to her eyes . There were two deep teeth marks on the back of his jade-like hand, gurgling black blood, “So you call this fine? You were obviously bitten by a snake and get poisoned . ”
At that time, the snake opened its mouth to bite her, but Ouyang Shaochen took it away, so it bit the back of his hand instead . . .
Looking at her angry eyes, Ouyang Shaochen forced a gentle smile and said, “I’ve taken the antidote pill, everything will be fine . . . ”
Before his voice had died away, his lips suddenly turned dark purple, with his corners of the mouth overflowing a wisp of blood and his entire figure slowly falling down . . .
“Ouyang Shaochen!” Murong Xue staggered and reached out to support him . Unexpectedly, Ouyang Shaochen fell on her shoulder, causing her to stumble back several steps before she could keep her feet . The thick blood smell lingered on the tip of her nose . The smell came from the large black and brown blood stain on the white sleeve of Ouyang Shaochen, which was truly shocking .
Tears flashing in Murong Xue’s pitch-black eyes, she bowed her head on the back of his hand, quickly sucked out a mouthful of poisonous blood, and spit it onto the ground, dark brown poisonous blood meandering along the floor gap . Seeing this, the Emperor frowned with a complex gaze . . .
With the snake toxic sucked out from his body, Ouyang Shaochen coughed a bit and slowly opened his eyes . A slim figure was faintly visible in the dim line of sight .
A warm touch came from the wound on the back of his hand . He was stunned, his misty sight was instantly clear . He quickly withdrew his injured hand and hid it behind his back . His pupils were like being filled with strong wind and torrential rain, “This is highly toxic . Stop!”
If he had been awake just now, he would never have let her approach his poisoned wound .
Murong Xue wiped away the poisonous blood from the corners of her mouth and glared at him fiercely, “That snake was extremely poisonous . If I did not suck out the poison, you would have been killed! Although the toxic was drew out mostly, but the residual poison in your body was still risky . . . ”
“Don’t worry, I won’t die!” Ouyang Shaochen’s voice was as beautiful as a harp, his obsidian eyes revealed a faint appalling storm . How could he, the son of Lord Freedom, die of snake venom?
“Then I will use silver needles to drive out the residual poison!” Murong Xue said angrily, took out the silver needle bag . Ouyang Shaochen was very stubborn, and did not want her to approach the wounded hand anymore . No matter what she said, he would resist . So she could only think of other ways .
Ouyang Shaochen hesitated for a moment and nodded, then said “Okay” and slowly stretched out his injured hand .
Murong Xue revealed a strange smile, opened the silver needle bag, took out all the silver needles, and mercilessly pierced them into Ouyang Shaochen’s acupoints . See what else you could do, you stubborn, bullheaded and loftily man…
