Sun Fanger wanted to leave, but the pottery jar was right under Zi'an's feet, so she couldn't take it back. She could only patiently say, "We don't have any cooperation, so you can go."
"We have it!" Zi'an bent over and picked up the pottery jar, then took out a packet of medicine powder from his sleeve pocket, "If I open the jar, all your treasures will die."
"You..." Sun Fang'er's expression was obviously tense, "Don't be silly, there's nothing in it."
"Of course there are none. They are all your treasures. You brought them here because they need to eat other poisonous things once a year. The back mountain of Baoan Temple is full of poisonous insects and snakes. You have to increase their nutrition, right?" Zi'an sneered.
Before, she thought Sun Fang'er came here to catch poisonous insects, but obviously not, because she was very nervous about the jar and kept moving it back.
So, she guessed that her treasure was in the jar, and she brought her treasure to beg for money.
Sun Fanger said angrily: "Xia Zian, don't go too far. What does Xia Lin's matter have to do with me? If he hadn't told the emperor that his blood could detoxify, the emperor wouldn't have asked for his blood."
"You said he was helping you, right?" Zi'an asked with a gloomy face.
Sun Fanger was furious. "I didn't ask him to help me. He was nosy. He was nosy. He was stupid. He was nosy in the harem. He was seeking death. What can I do if he wants to die? Can I stop him?"
Zi'an asked, "Okay, tell me, why is he so nosy? You can choose not to help me, but I want to know what he did in the palace and what the emperor did to him?"
Sun Fang frowned, "You guessed it, didn't you?"
"Tell me the whole story clearly. The things in this pottery jar are your life-saving things. If you lose these treasures, the emperor will also kill you." Zi'an shook the medicine powder, as if he was going to put it down.
"Put it down!" Sun Fang'er said nervously.
"Will you tell me or not?" Zi'an's eyes were filled with anger. "I already stopped you from helping me. I just wanted to know the whole story. Are you unwilling to tell me? Sun Fang'er, you really failed Rouyao's affection for you, and also failed Huanxi's trust in you."
She put the medicine powder away, took out the white jade Guanyin from her sleeve pocket, and waved it in front of Sun Fanger, "You asked me to return this white jade Guanyin to her, but she refused. She said that you are the only one in the world who deserves this Guanyin, and since she gave it to you, she has no intention of taking it back."
Sun Fang'er looked a little bewildered, "Am I worthy of this? I'm not worthy of this."
"In her opinion, you are worthy of her, but now it seems that you are really not worthy of her." Zi'an raised the Guanyin and was about to throw it away.
Sun Fanger said anxiously: "No, no, give it to me, give it back to me."
Zi'an threw the white jade Guanyin to her. She took it in her hand, took out her handkerchief and wiped it vigorously.
He looked extremely nervous.
Zi'an sighed softly and put down the pottery jar. "Forget it. I won't force you. Just don't say it."
After saying that, she turned around and said, "You can take care of yourself."
"Wait!" Sun Fang'er called out to her.
Zi'an didn't look back, but his eyes were full of brilliance. "Don't worry, I won't hold you back."
Sun Fang'er hid the white jade Guanyin, then picked up the pottery jar and said, "I'm telling you, Da, I have no way to take him out of the palace. I'm just telling you the method."
Zi'an turned around slowly and said sincerely, "Thank you!"
Sun Fanger pointed to a stone nearby and said, "Sit over there and I'll tell you slowly."
After saying that, she went over by herself.
She put the pottery jar on the ground, then took out a white porcelain bottle and sprinkled some white powder on the outside of the stone. The powder gave off a faint fragrance, which was very delicate and penetrated into the nose.
After sprinkling the white powder, she slowly opened the pottery jar. The lid of the pottery jar was very tight and required a lot of effort to twist it open.
After turning it on, she left it where it was, then she and Zi'an retreated to the stone and sat on it.
Zi'an looked at the pottery jar and saw poisonous centipedes crawling out of it.
These centipedes are very sturdy. Each one is as thick as a thumb and twenty centimeters long. They have very long legs and are shiny black all over. The tentacles at the head and tail are very long and sharp.
As soon as they were released, they began to crawl, and their movements were very agile.
Although Zi'an had seen many poisonous snakes, these centipedes still made her feel disgusted and creepy.
"How old is your baby?" Zi'an asked.
"Five years old!" Sun Fanger looked a little sad.
At the age of five, Zi'an knew that the lifespan of a centipede was only five or six years, which meant that in another year, Sun Fang'er's treasures would die.
Sun Fang'er stared at the centipedes in a daze, watching them catch poisonous insects with their nimble and agile bodies.
Zi'an saw two centipedes chasing a green bamboo snake. The green bamboo snake was very poisonous, but these centipedes were not afraid of it at all.
"They have been with me all these years. They only have me, and I only have them." Sun Fang'er murmured.
Zi'an said nothing. He kept poison as a companion. I really don't know whether to say it was pitiful or sad.
"So, actually, I envy you very much. You are not as good as me in everything, but you have a lot more than me. You have family, friends, and a husband. Everyone is devoted to you. What about me? What do I have? My family can't tolerate me, and I have no friends. What about a husband? The emperor? He just wants my blood." Sun Fang'er smiled bitterly.
Zi'an smiled and said, "I am not as good as you in everything. What are these things?"
"Family background, appearance, use of poison, how can you compare to me?" Sun Fang'er asked back.
Zian laughed, "You are really confident, but please don't compare your strengths with my weaknesses, okay?"
"What are your strengths?" Sun Fang'er asked.
Zian thought for a moment and said, "No."
Sun Fang'er said quietly, "Actually, I failed because of the word selfishness. But who isn't selfish? Isn't it normal for people to be selfish?"
"People are definitely selfish, and everyone thinks of themselves first. However, you can't hurt others because of selfishness, right?" Zi'an didn't want to discuss these issues with her, but she was obviously very lonely and wanted to talk to someone.
Sun Fang'er said: "I didn't mean to hurt anyone, I just wanted to make a difference, to let people know that even if you are born out of wedlock, you can be more capable than a legitimate child."
She shook her clothes and shook her head. "Forget it. You won't understand even if I tell you this. I won't say it anymore. If Hu Huanxi were here, maybe she would understand what I'm talking about."
"Then let's talk about Xia Lin." Zi'an finally heard her end the topic, and his spirits suddenly lifted.
Seeing her attitude, Sun Fang'er became unhappy again. "Is it difficult for you to listen to me?"
"No." Zi'an frowned, "It's just that I'm not good at comforting people."
"I don't need your comfort. I just want to find someone to talk to. Can't you just listen?" Sun Fang'er's fair face was full of displeasure, and the loneliness and disappointment in her eyes were evident.
