Chapter 362 It doesn’t matter
"..."
Fan Xian was speechless with embarrassment, and his embarrassment was filled with confusion.
Mei Chengan smiled.
"I know everything you said, so... I just wanted to ask how you guessed that I wanted to detoxify Si Li?"
"..."
Do I need to guess your fucking little thoughts?
Fan Xian rolled his eyes and raised his middle finger.
"Depend on!"
After leaning against him, he turned around and left, too lazy to pay attention to this heartless idiot.
Mei Cheng'an stood there with a curled lip corner, quietly looking at his back, and after thinking for a while, he added a sentence.
"Thanks, Tiezi."
Fan Xian paused, then waved his hand suddenly without even turning his head.
"Don't give me that! Who are you trying to embarrass?"
Mei Cheng was happy, and while laughing she suddenly murmured something.
“It’s a bit awkward.”
After thinking for a moment, he shrugged, raised his feet and slowly walked towards Si Lili's carriage, leaving behind a whisper.
"It doesn't matter. As long as I'm not embarrassed, I can love whoever I want!"
……
"Why did you glare at me just now?"
Si Lili was stunned for a moment as he looked at Mei Chengan, who had not been seen for many days and came uninvited and angrily questioned him as soon as he came.
It took her a while to realize that the 'just now' he mentioned happened half an hour ago. She was a little annoyed.
"Why, isn't it clear in your mind, sir?"
"I don't know."
After responding quickly and casually, Mei Chengan came directly to her and sat down right next to her.
Si Lili moved slightly to the side imperceptibly. The distance she moved was very small, but her attitude of keeping a distance from him was very clear.
"Sir, please respect yourself."
Noticing her actions and listening to her cold and distant words, Mei Cheng'an was stunned for a moment and smiled inexplicably.
Si Lili was confused by his reaction. She thought he would frown in anger, and also that he would roughly hold her in his arms, but she didn't expect him to suddenly laugh, although... his laugh was quite pretty.
"Master, what are you laughing at?"
Hearing her angrily questioning, Mei Chengan laughed even more happily.
"Of course I laughed... You, you were once a leader and the head of the secret service, how could you act so childishly?"
After a pause, he added in a low voice with a smile.
"Childish yet cute."
"..."
Si Lili's pretty face turned red, and she cursed herself for being useless. But after being praised so simply, most of the resentment in her heart disappeared.
No! You can't forgive him so easily!
Si Lili coughed lightly, her face stern as she tried to change the subject.
"What do you want to see me for, sir?"
Mei Cheng'an spread his hands and said with a chuckle.
"No hurry. I haven't examined you for a long time. Come here and let me see if my two big treasures have become smaller."
"..."
Si Lili subconsciously wanted to move closer. After all, this kind of thing happened all the time during the first ten days of the journey. She had developed a habit and formed physical memory.
However, halfway through moving her body, she suddenly realized that she was still angry with him. What would become of her if she was so well-behaved and obedient?
When she came to her senses, she was about to shrink back, but Mei Chengan was quick to grab her shoulders and forcefully pulled her into his arms.
"Come here you."
Si Lili screamed, her body being manipulated by him without her control. When she came to her senses, she had already lay obediently in his arms. Her chest first felt cold, then warm, and she had already lost control.
"..."
I don't know whether she accepted it or felt that there was no point in resisting since things had come to this point, but Si Lili didn't struggle.
Not struggling physically doesn't mean not struggling mentally. Si Lili blushed and struggled for a long time, and finally decided... to stay put for now.
After a long silence, Si Lili's voice sounded faintly.
"Sir, you can tell me what you want from me now."
Mei Cheng'an kept moving his hands and hummed softly.
"There is something I have thought about and I think it is necessary to tell you."
Si Lili frowned when she heard that.
"what's up?"
Mei Cheng'an didn't keep anyone in suspense.
"You've been poisoned."
Si Lili was stunned for a moment, her brows suddenly relaxed, a mocking smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she said softly.
Mei Cheng'an expected her reaction, but he still asked a question to keep the conversation going.
"You don't seem surprised."
Si Lili chuckled, with a hint of self-mockery.
"I was able to walk out of the Overwatch Council's dungeon alive, so what else could surprise me?"
After a pause, her tone became inexplicably playful.
"Although the Overwatch Council released me this time, they still had to leave a backup plan to control me, and poisoning is the easiest way. I guessed this a long time ago."
Mei Chengan chuckled and praised her.
"so smart."
Si Lili snorted complacently, a little childish, diluting the amazing charm from top to bottom and from inside to outside. Mei Chengan smiled and said softly.
"But unfortunately, you guessed wrong."
Si Lili was stunned for a moment, and her smile slowly faded.
"What do you mean, Master?"
"That's not a way to control you, but..."
After a pause, Mei Chengan smiled and said.
"A means to deal with the young emperor of Northern Qi."
Si Lili was stunned. Although she was a virgin, she had been a prostitute in a brothel for more than a year and was no stranger to matters between men and women.
After thinking for a moment, she quickly understood what he meant. She could no longer maintain her previous composure. She opened her mouth in surprise and was about to scream subconsciously. Fortunately, she reacted in time and covered her mouth tightly with both hands. After a while, she gently moved her hands away.
"what?"
Due to the angle, Mei Cheng'an couldn't see her face, but he could imagine her surprised look and couldn't help but smile.
"Your reaction is not right. In addition to being surprised, you should also be a little anxious. Aren't you worried at all?"
"..."
This sentence shocked Si Lili no less than before, in fact even more. The incident happened suddenly and she indeed forgot to disguise her emotions, but... this person was too scary. He was so perceptive that he noticed it instantly.
Without time to think about it, Si Lili asked anxiously.
"What did you just say, sir?"
He was feeling uneasy, thinking it was too late to remedy the situation. He shouldn't be able to guess... No, he definitely couldn't guess it, unless he was a god!
Mei Cheng'an smiled and followed her wishes, skipping the topic.
"What this means is that this poison will pass through your body and infect the young emperor of Northern Qi."
Although she had made some guesses, when the guesses were confirmed, Si Lili still felt a chill in her bones.
She remained silent for a long time with an uncertain expression. She inexplicably thought of another point that had confused her for a long time. Her body stiffened for a moment, but soon relaxed again, and a sad smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"So, this is why you and I have done all the things that men and women have done together, but you still don't want me anymore?"
"?"
Mei Cheng'an froze, even stopping the movements of his hands, and his tone was filled with extreme surprise.
"you…"
After a pause, Mei Chengan suddenly laughed out of anger, took out a hand and tapped her little head hard.
"What are you thinking about all day long? Of course it's not because of this. Since I know the poison, I naturally have the antidote. If I want you, I can have you anytime. If this little bit of poison can scare me away, then I might as well quit being a commissioner of the Overwatch Council and go home to sell sweet potatoes. What are you thinking about?"
He nodded again and then put his hand back.
Si Lili, whose head was shaken back and forth like a rattle by the tapping, was stunned. Her self-pitying smile disappeared instantly and her little face turned red. The shame drowned out her joy and her voice was as soft as a mosquito's.
"Then, what's that for?"
Mei Cheng'an grabbed the hostage fiercely and said unhappily.
"Why else? Of course it's because of you."
Si Lili was puzzled, her shame receded a little, and her voice became a little louder.
"Because of me? What do you mean?"
"Because you told me that you are still a virgin. If it weren't for me, I would have taken you a long time ago. It is precisely because you are a virgin that I cannot take you. After all, you will enter the palace and become the emperor in the future..."
Si Lili interrupted him by mumbling something quickly in a very low voice.
"I don't want to go into the palace."
"What did you say?"
Mei Cheng'an actually heard it, but he pretended not to know.
Sure enough, Si Lili, who had come to her senses, waved her hand.
"Nothing, I understand what you mean, sir. I misunderstood you, I'm sorry."
After falling asleep, he stopped talking and looked a little gloomy.
Mei Cheng'an was silent for a moment and reminded her.
"You don't worry..."
Si Lili was silent for a long time, then suddenly smiled and said.
"Thank you for telling me this, sir. I will find a way to detoxify you when we get to the capital."
Mei Cheng calmed down and spoke.
“This poison was specially developed by Fei Jie, one of the few poison masters in the world. It’s not as easy to cure as you think.
The only people who can solve it in the world are... probably some extremely skilled imperial physicians in the palace.
Are you sure... you have a way to detoxify yourself without endangering yourself?"
After a moment of silence, Si Lili asked quietly.
"Does it matter to you, sir, whether it endangers me or not?"
"important!"
Mei Cheng'an answered very quickly and in a decisive tone.
Si Lili was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled, but it was a bitter smile. The sweeter her heart was, the bitterer her smile was. She fell silent again.
Mei Cheng'an frowned. He could feel the sadness in Si Lili's heart. He didn't like her being like this, nor did he like himself not liking her being like this. It was upsetting.
"I know how to detoxify. I'll do it for you later!"
The stiff tone carried a hint of dominance, which forcibly washed away most of the sadness in Si Lili's heart, and she burst into laughter.
“Although I don’t know the name of this plan, based on its intended purpose, I think it should be extremely important to the Supervisory Council and Qing Country.
Sir, please do not anger the Supervisory Council and Qing Kingdom because of me, a…insignificant person, on impulse. I…I am very happy and grateful that you pity me, but please rest assured, I…"
Mei Chengan interrupted her directly.
