After being sent out by the palace servants, Su Zhi held her breath and finally released.
She touched her red and swollen face, her heart feeling very uncomfortable. The more she got outside the hall, the more she stopped.
Her current appearance was definitely extremely ugly. Although Xiao Qian wouldn't care, humans were visual creatures. If it scared him, that would be great.
"What's wrong, I don't dare to meet anyone?" Lu Huan Zhi chased after her, waving his fan as he calmly looked at her.
Su Zhi turned around and nodded slightly. "Thank you for your help, Crown Prince."
It was a small matter, but if you really want to thank me, you can prepare a table for me. When my mood is better, come and have a seat at your table." He winked at Su Zhi with a smile, but his mocking expression was still the same as before.
"A commoner …"
"Ai, wait. If you're really going to treat me like a good meal, then recover your face first. Otherwise, how much of an appetite would I get?"
Su Zhi rolled her eyes at him. The glorious image that she had painstakingly created instantly collapsed. She could no longer be bothered to care about him, saving him from having to eat.
After she turned around to leave, Lu Huan Zhi followed behind her, unwilling to let her go. "Isn't one meal too casual? You'll need at least two."
She did not respond, but rather held onto the veil covering her face, and trembled as she walked out of the hall.
Outside the palace walls, under the shade of greenery, stood a dusty man.
He held the sword in his left hand, his fingers gripping the scabbard, his joints turning white with exertion.
Perhaps it was because he had been rushing all the way here, but before he could take off the heavy armor, his boots were covered in dust.
Even so, he could not hide the aura around him.
When Little De saw Xiao Qian, he immediately smiled apologetically, "Great General Xiao, you've been waiting for a long time!"
Only after hearing the voice did the restless man come back to his senses. His sharp eyes immediately caught sight of the familiar figure.
"Ah Zhi!" What are you doing? "
Even though Su Zhi's face was covered halfway, Xiao Qian still recognized her immediately. She nodded to the young eunuch and then hurriedly ran over.
"What's wrong with your face?"
"Nothing, let's get out of here first."
As she held onto Xiao Qian's arm as they walked out of the palace, the girl's sweet voice sounded from behind her, "Big brother Xiao!"
A hundred meters away, a cousin of his followed after him, loathing each other.
Su Zhi felt a headache coming on, and she was tired and thirsty. She really did not want to waste any more time in the palace.
Xiao Qian saw her impatience and patted her shoulder, comforting her, "Wait for me here. I'll be right back."
With that, he temporarily left Su Zhi and walked towards An Yang.
"Princess, I have something to say."
An Yang smiled complacently, shyly smoothing the hair at his temples as he nodded: "What does Brother Xiao want to say?"
Xiao Qian glanced at Lu Huan Zhi, who snorted disdainfully, but still walked away.
Seeing this, he then looked at An Yang with a cold expression and said, "Princess, I, Xiao Yuan, am not worthy of the princess's love. All along, I have treated you as my sister, without a shred of love between a man and a woman. The woman I want to marry is only Su Zhi. If you are unwilling, just come at me, but don't hurt her. This time, I will not forgive you. If you are willing to call me Big Brother Xiao when we meet in the future, then call me that and let it go. Otherwise, even if I were to cause trouble for the Emperor, I will not let this matter rest! "
His words caused An Yang to feel disheartened. From his initial expectation, to his disappointment, to his anger. For an unclear widow, she did not hesitate to fall out with her!
"Big brother Xiao, how can you treat me like this? I only asked my Royal Grandmother to send her to the palace and didn't do anything to her. I didn't do anything to her face! "
"Regardless, I hope that there won't be a next time. If her face can be good, then I will let bygones be bygones. If it can't be good, then I will exchange whatever she has."
An Yang was so frightened that he quickly retreated. His almond eyes were filled with tears. "You … you actually …!"
"Farewell!"
This was the first time An Yang had experienced a man's determination. In the past, no matter how much trouble she caused, Xiao Gan would at most ignore her. However, today was the first time he threatened her. He even said that if Su Zhi's face couldn't be cured, he would make her do the same …
"How preposterous! She's just a country girl, why can she be compared with this princess! "
The man did not reply, but strode forward to lead Su Zhi out of the palace.
An Yang was so angry that she was crying. However, Lu Huan Zhi smiled without a trace of politeness. He walked over and did not forget to mention something, "See, men are always like this. It's not like you care whether you're happy or not." "Little sister, listen to your brother and forget about him. You should find a good person to marry to."
"Pfft!" Your mouth is so cheap! "
Lu Huan's hands were spread out in front of him, as if he didn't care, "Foolish and useless, it's useless to speak anymore."
After that, he waved his fan and swaggered away.
Su Zhi had heard An Yang's anger from far away. She thought to herself that she had completely offended someone, and she still didn't know how to obstruct her in the future.
Xiao Qian held her hand and carried her onto the carriage as they exited the palace.
As Greenwood was driving in front, Xiao Gan finally had time to check out the wounds on Su Zhi's face.
"How do we do this? It looks very serious. I'll take you to the hospital first."
"Don't, don't, don't. This is allergy. Rest well for a few days and you'll be fine. There's no need to gather so many people."
If An Yang found out about it again, it would be hard to figure out how to deal with it.
Xiao Qian revealed a worried expression as he looked at her in heartache, "Take off your veil, I want to see."
"Goodbye. Maybe there's cassava powder mixed in the honey. I'm allergic to that stuff."
Although she didn't know why there was such a thing in the honey, Su Zhi was very sure it was made from cassava powder.
It didn't matter if she touched anything else, except that it was itchy and painful to touch the tapioca powder, which was the conclusion she had inadvertently discovered while she was tinkering with new products and looking for raw materials in the fields.
Was there such a thing in the incense of the palace? This recipe is not reasonable at all.
"Are you sure? If there's anything uncomfortable, you have to say it. "
Su Zhi shook her head. "I'm really fine. I'll be fine in a few days."
Even if it can't be good, there are drugs in the system, and there are all kinds that can help relieve inflammation and relieve pain, as well as soothe allergies, right?
"Oh right, why did you suddenly appear in the palace? Did someone take over the military camp?"
Xiao Qian started to have a headache when the topic of official business was brought up. The deadline was half a month, and he had to find the three leaders of the rebel army.
The three of them seemed to have disappeared from the world without a trace.
Su Zhi noticed his awkwardness and asked again, "I heard that the three rebel leaders have disappeared?"
He nodded and said earnestly, "The inner court's spy will serve the dark guards. We won't be able to find him even if we dig the ground for three feet."
It was strange that the three of them could not find the Great Wei Empire that had united as one.
"Since you can't find it even with that, you don't need to."
Xiao Qian was slightly startled as he didn't understand what she meant.
"Ah Zhi knows that if these three people are unable to be found, the consequences will be unthinkable." Not to mention what kind of punishment he would receive, if these three people were not eliminated, there would always be a hidden thorn in the side of the Wei River. If not, then there would be a hidden calamity.
Su Zhi nodded in understanding. She naturally knew how powerful it was, but perhaps it was because of this reason that no one wished for him to be able to find it.
"I heard that the military salaries that were swallowed earlier were already raised to the fullest within a short few days."
Xiao Qian nodded in affirmation. "That's right."
"This is a sign of danger."
"What does Ah Zhi mean?"
