The woman took off her scarf, revealing a beautiful face that looked to be 28 or 29 years old.
Bai Lan was startled and said to the woman, "Big sister, I don't think I've seen you before."
Bai Lan's remark made the woman giggle. After a long while, she finally said, "This child's mouth is really sweet. Big sister should be the big sister. I'm Mu Zixin's master, Mei Ru Immortal."
Bai Lan was astonished. Mei Ru was already close to fifty, he didn't expect her to be so young. Since he was an elder, he couldn't be rude. He bowed and said, "So it's Master, why don't I let Master have a cup of wine?"
Mei Ru smiled, "You can call me Big Sis. But you have to call me Master."
Bai Lan faintly smiled. This Mei Ru Immortal's personality was somewhat similar to Mu Zixin. Could it be that Mu Zixin had already surpassed Lan Yu?
"Alright, let's call it Big Sis. Then, can Big Sis give this little brother some face, and have a drink at the Drunken Immortal Tavern?" Bai Lan said straightforwardly.
Seeing how straightforward Bai Lan was, Mei Ru Immortal agreed, "Alright, let's go."
As a result, a handsome man and a beautiful woman walked side by side towards Drunken Immortal Tavern. Along the way, many people raised their eyebrows, but what they saw was the Immortal Mei Ru's attire; they were like robbers, and they couldn't help but hold their wallets tightly.
When they arrived at the Drunken Immortal Tavern, Bai Lan ordered a table full of good dishes. Mei Ru did not leave the restaurant and continued to eat and drink. The children of the martial arts world did not hold back on small matters. However … With such a master, it was no wonder he had such a disciple. Climbing the wall in the middle of the night to escape from marriage was not something that a lady from a noble family could do.
Bai Lan and Immortal Mei Ru exchanged a few pleasantries, and as soon as she opened her chatterbox, she immediately burst out in a torrent of conversation, causing Bai Lan to flee in panic.
However, he understood more about Mu Zixin's character from the words of the Fairy Mei Ru, being kind and generous (following her master to help the poor), often helping others (often doing the opposite), being a top-notch martial artist (only escaping, not a lightness skill, but a kind of wonderful footwork that makes one unable to grasp its edge), being the second most beautiful person in the world (the Fairy Mei Ru considered herself the first).
This meal lasted from the end of noon until the end of the Shen Jingbin. Bai Lan's ears had been tormented for four whole hours. He swore to himself that from now on, he would never drink with the Celestial Maiden Mei Ru.
After exiting the Drunken Immortal Inn, Bai Lan felt as if he had been revived. He didn't dare to linger, afraid that she would drag him along and talk for three days and three nights out of curiosity. Therefore, he cupped his hands and said, "Big Sis, I still have some matters to attend to at home, so I will take my leave first."
Mei Ru stared at Bai Lan and laughed, "Go on, I know you want to prepare the marriage. I originally thought you were a playboy and wanted to teach you a lesson. "Since you are Hao Yue Manor's master that everyone praises in the martial arts world, I am relieved. It is normal for men to have three wives and four concubines, but …" A cold light flashed in her eyes as she continued, "Unless my disciple is going to divorce you, you absolutely cannot take in a concubine."
Bai Lan suddenly had an illusion. A moment ago, he was looking at a beautiful woman, but she had suddenly realized that her original form had turned into a vicious viper. He quickly said, "Bai Lan swears to the heavens that as long as she is married to Mu Zixin, she will never take in a concubine. Otherwise, it would be a thunderstorm and she would die a horrible death.
"Mm, that's right. Go on." The Celestial Maiden Mei Ru became a beautiful lady once more.
Hearing this, Bai Lan immediately turned around and walked away as if he received an order for forgiveness. He didn't expect that he could walk so fast without using his movement technique.
After returning to the Bai residence, Bai Lan was immediately taken away by Madame Bai to measure her size and make her clothes, causing him to get bigger. However, at this moment, he was also troubled by a person who had the same headache as him. That person was the Emperor.
Dongfang Haotian had promised Bai Lan that he would think of a way to get Leng Qiyue out of the prison, but Die Fei had never admitted that she had framed Leng Qiyue, and insisted that Leng Qiyue had used a knife to stab her.
Leng Qiyue had eaten well and lived well these past few days. She still saw Mu Fei and her son everyday, so she really didn't want to go out.
At this time, Mu Fei was sitting opposite Leng Qiyue. With a worried expression, she said, "How much longer do you want to wait?"
Leng Qiyue was startled and asked, "How long do you want to wait?"
Mu Fei came back to her senses and covered it up, "It's nothing. I'm talking about how long you're going to stay here."
Leng Qiyue said indifferently, "Who cares? I don't want to go out. "
"No, what if my royal brother doesn't want to go out? …" Mu Fei covered her mouth as her eyes rolled around.
Leng Qiyue was suspicious, and asked, "What does it have to do with your imperial brother if I go out? Besides, didn't he go back to the country? "
Mu Fei's eyes darted around before she finally stopped and said smilingly, "When I sent the message to my royal brother, he said that you wanted to leave the palace, but there was no plan. So my royal brother wanted to help you out of the palace, and now that you are in the Heaven Prison, could it be that he will come to rescue you? "
"Oh?" Leng Qiyue was doubting Mu Fei's words.
Mu Feifei continued, "The Emperor promised me that if I didn't give birth for a year, he would make me return home, so I don't feel any attachment to this place. you don't have to be on guard either, I really am doing this for your own good. "
Leng Qiyue thought for a moment. Mu Fei's attitude towards Dongfang Haotian was as distant as ever, neither cold nor hot. "It looks like Mu Fei already had a lover. I'll just wait a year before returning to my country to find him." If that's the case, it looks like we really have to think of a way out.
Mu Fei said, "As long as you leave the Sky Prison, everything will be fine. Don't think too much about it, hurry up and think of a way to leave this damned place. I don't want to come here every day. How unlucky."
Leng Qiyue faintly smiled and said, "I understand. I will think of a way, but tomorrow, you have to bring me something."
"Fine, say it. As long as it's not the moon in the sky and the shadows on the ground, I can give it to you."
Leng Qiyue smiled and said, "It's not that difficult. I just want you to help me find some madora powder and sandalwood. I want to make some incense."
"Fragrance?" Mu Fei's rare calm expression showed excitement, as though she was a curious child staring at her.
Leng Qiyue nodded, "But I still have something I need your help with. I'll tell you about that later, bring the thing I need first."
Mu Fei nodded and took the little prince, leaving the Sky Prison.
Leng Qiyue lay on her bed and thought about her plan. After it was completed, she thought of a few other ways to deal with it. If everything went well, she would be able to leave the Sky Prison.
As she thought about it, Leng Qiyue decided to head off to meet with official Zhou. However, she didn't know who it was that had stood beside her bed for four hours before finally leaving …
The next day, Mu Fei came earlier than usual. She usually only came after noon, but had already arrived at the right time today. She didn't bring her little prince and brought many bottles and jars with her.
"Aiya, there's only this madora powder in the palace. Do you think that's enough? And there's also the sandalwood, do you think that this piece is enough? If it's not enough, I'll look for it again. "Oh, that's right. I didn't hug Niu Jun when he fell asleep. My trusted aide was watching over him. It's fine." Mu Fei used a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off her forehead.
The corner of Leng Qiyue's mouth twitched. Mu Fei had actually brought the madora powder from the palace, which was more than enough to make a cart full of incense. Looking at that piece of sandalwood, it was a foot long and half a foot thick.
Leng Qiyue used one hand to hold her forehead while inspecting the pollen with the other. These pollen weren't collected in the same year. She found the last year's pollen and asked Mu Fei to bring the rest back.
Mu Fei wasn't in a hurry to leave. She was completely different from her usual composed self. She acted like a curious baby as she watched Leng Qiyue's every move.
Seeing her obediently not move, Leng Qiyue let her just watch. A studious baby was really lovable, but she knew that Mu Fei definitely wouldn't be able to learn it, because there was one thing Mu Fei definitely didn't have: her own blood.
Leng Qiyue had the jailer bring a small saw and cut bits of wood from the sandalwood. Then he mixed the sawdust with the pollen and put them together in the blood he had collected the day before. For some reason, her blood couldn't congeal, and her wound wasn't bleeding like hemophilia. It healed very quickly, without even a scar.
Mu Fei looked at it with relish. Although she didn't know what the bowl of red liquid was, she didn't ask. What a good student it was. Two hours later, Leng Qiyue called out happily, "It's done."
