“Alright.”

Xiao Zeyu also felt that the woman had deliberately ruined her face. He had just told the old emperor about this and asked him to find an artist to draw that woman’s face.

“I will accompany you to Sky Mountain.”

Xiao Zeyu told Su Qing that this place was a few thousand miles from Sky Mountain. He was worried about Su Qing going alone.

“No, it’ll be faster if I go alone. Take Xiao Ying back to the court first and take

this pill.”

Su Qing held a green pill in her hand. The pill’s surface was smooth and shiny, with a faint fragrance.

“What medicine is this?”

Xiao Zeyu took it and put it into his mouth. He only asked after he finished eating.

“I gave you the love, gu.”

Su Qing looked at him and said seriously. Xiao Zeyu’s entire body froze. Thinking about the black worm that was forced out of Yeluchun’s body, he felt a wave of nausea and hurriedly bent down to dig his throat with his fingers, wanting to spit out the pill.

“It’s useless. The pill melted in your mouth.”

Su Qing said lightly. Xiao Zeyu looked at her angrily.

Tve put the love gu on you, but others can’t. It’s hard to guard against love gu. You might fall for it just by drinking a mouthful of water. Yelii Chun is a living example. The consequences will be unimaginable if someone puts the love gu on you when I’m not by your side.’

Su Qing calmly explained to Xiao Zeyu. After hearing her words, Xiao Zeyu’s anger dissipated, and he felt a lingering fear in his heart.

This kind of love gu was the most terrifying. It could silently poison you, and it was impossible to guard against it.

Su Qing would instead poison him than by a woman with ulterior motives.

Shuisheng, you must be careful while I’m gone.”

Su Qing felt that someone was setting them up. It was a big trap. Perhaps the other party knew their whereabouts when they came out of the capital. Xiao Ying was their chess piece to lure her to Tartan and use Yeluchun to get rid of them.

That woman ruined her face to prevent them from seeing her face so that she could protect a certain someone.

It was very advanced in modern times. Although flying equipment could not fly like planes, it was much faster than climbing mountains.

“This is a very mysterious place. The magnetic field is chaotic, and the flying equipment will malfunction here.”

The system kindly reminded Su Qing that if she died, the system would be removed from the system world, which meant the death of a human.

“Then give me a set of mountaineering equipment!

Since the flying equipment was not good, she could only climb up. Although Su Qing’s martial arts were strong and her skill in lightness was good, she was not an immortal who could fly up to Tianshan.

The road on Tianshan was slippery, and it would be difficult to climb up without special equipment.

“Sure, use skill points to exchange for it.”

The system had no compassion at all. It would not give it to her if there were nothing to exchange.

Su Qing used ten skill points to exchange for a set of equipment. She wanted to fill her stomach before climbing the mountain.

It was already freezing at the foot of Tianshan Mountain. The wind was powerful. Su Qing found a place to eat under the wind. After eating, she put on her climbing equipment and climbed the mountain.

As Su Qing turned, her gaze fell upon a group of strikingly handsome men clad in the traditional attire of the Hui people, making their way up the mountain with swift strides.

The leader of the group, notably tall and with a resolute look in his eyes, had facial features that bore a distinct, almost foreign, three-dimensionality.

Su Qing’s eyes narrowed thoughtfully. She quickly requested her system to identify a shortcut to the mountain’s peak. Her goal was clear: to reach and pick the rare snow lotus before these men could. The system demanded an additional ten skill points for this information, which made Su Qing frown in annoyance. Reluctantly parting with the valuable points, she received the suggested route, only to discover that it coincided with the path the Hui men took.

Realizing the competition, Su Qing steeled herself and quickened her pace. She was determined to outpace the men and reach the summit first.

While Su Qing was fighting with a few Hui men for the Tianshan Snow Lotus, Xiao Zeyu stayed in Tartan for a day, waiting for the artist to draw the woman who had poisoned Yeluchun with the love gu.

Xiao Ying insisted on not seeing Yeluchun, but she had always wanted to hear news about him. She heard from the palace maid that Yeluchun had been unconscious, and she was distraught.

Amidst her fears and anxieties, her most profound concern lay with Li’er. The thought that her sister-in-law might not find Xuelian, the key to her son s cure, tormented her. The possibility of not seeing Li’er again haunted her every moment. Her heart felt like it was being slowly cooked in oil, leaving her restless, unable to find solace in food or sleep.

Xiao Zeyu, witnessing his sister’s distress, offered words of comfort.

“As long as Qing’er is on our side, she will surely find a way to heal Li’er,” he reassured her gently.

Despite her faith in her sister-in-law’s renowned medical expertise, Xiao Ying found little solace in these assurances. As a mother, her heart remained heavy with worry. The uncertainty of her son’s recovery cast a shadow over her, a burden that wouldn’t lift until she could see Li’er safe and healthy once again. Her eyes, often lost in thought, reflected a mother’s deep love and an unyielding hope for her child’s well-being.

“Your Majesty, the artist of Tartan has already drawn that woman..”
