Imperial Palace
Leng Ao Tian's eyes were as sharp as knives. When he looked down at the black clothed man, his eyebrows were raised and his eyes were wide open!
"Chu Jian!" Say that again! " His violent right hand clenched into a fist as it issued out gurgling sounds. The ruthlessness in her eyes seemed to want to devour everything!
Chu Jian was the head of the inner circle of spies. Whether it was in terms of martial arts or strategy, she far surpassed the other eleven people. In Leng Ao Tian's memories, all the orders that he had given were accurate!
"In reply to your majesty, Xiao Yu Feng did indeed have traces of staying at Jing De Palace before he went missing. This is the jade token he carried, it was discovered by a subordinate under the Jing De Palace case! This proves that Xiao Yu Feng is closely related to the tragedy at Jing De Palace! " Below the stage, the man in black kneeled down respectfully. The bright lights in the hall illuminated his forehead like a sword, and his pair of eyes were like a cold night river as they glimmered with light. Even if only half of his face was revealed, it would still be difficult to hide his valiant and valiant demeanor.
"Where is Xiao Yu Feng!" In the depths of his eyes, the chilliness grew even more intense. When he had brought Xu Bixuan back from the cold palace to the Leaning Feather Pavilion, he had summoned Chu Jian Chen and had handed over the blood matter from Jing De Palace to him. He had originally thought that he did not care about the bloody mess in the cradle, but in reality, he had never forgotten.
"Subordinate has searched the entire capital for any trace of Xiao Yufeng. I believe that he has already left the capital. Therefore, this subordinate requests that you leave the capital for three months and bring Xiao Yufeng to death!" There was no warmth in his eyes, only coldness. In his heart, there was only arrogance, only the Great Zhu Country, only a secret order, only a case of ruthlessness, no love, no desire, no desire! When such a person encounters love, would it be a kind of sorrow?
"Yes!" But remember! I want to see Xiao Yu Feng within three months! If he's alive, I want to see him! If he's dead, I want to see his corpse! "Step down!" Coldly staring at Chu Feng as he retreated from the palace, Leng Ao Tian's hand gripped the jade token tightly. Suddenly, sand like powder began to sprinkle down from his hand!
"Xue Yuan, Xue Yuan …" She called out again and again, her clear and cold voice repeatedly echoing within the Imperial Hall, accompanied by a strong sense of grief. For the sake of his daughter, whom he had never seen before, he finally understood just how deep Xu Bixuan's hatred was!
The cold wind howled, and the snow covered the sky. Snowflakes danced about on the vast earth, bobbing up and down. The entire Great Shu Palace welcomed the first snowstorm in a hundred years.
Every palace was tightly shut by the Zhu Clan. No one was willing to go out and walk in such cold weather. The originally noisy harem became abnormally quiet. No one knew what would happen after a moment of peace …
The door was pushed open with a 'squeak'. An Zi shook off the snow all over her body and rushed inside.
"Big Sister Bluelily, I'm back!" These are the things you want! " Xu Bixuan took two quick steps forward and gave Dong'er a look!
"Did anyone see it on the way?" Xu Bixuan's eyes shone with a strange light. It was like the cold and clear moonlight blooming in the ice and snow on a cold peak.
"No one has seen such a heavy snowfall. Even if someone had seen this snowfall, they would not be able to recognize me!" "Don't worry!" Before Little An could finish his words, the palace door was pushed open again, and a wave of hurried footsteps could be heard walking in. When Dong'er saw this, she hurriedly went forward and took the items from Senior Servant Feng.
"What a big snow! I have never seen such a snowstorm ever since I entered the palace! " When Feng mama looked up and saw An Zi, she changed the topic of conversation …
"You weren't seen, were you?"
"No!" When I came back, I didn't see a single soul! " Little An scratched his head, wondering why everyone was asking him the same question. Could it be that sleeping in private matters really made people worry?
"It's good that you didn't. When I came back, esteemed wangfei had to hide in the darkness for a long time before she dared to come out!" Afraid that she will find out! " Feng mama lowered her head and brushed away the remaining snow on her body.
"Did you meet Suman He? Where would she go under such heavy snow? " Xu Bixuan's eyes flickered with an uncertain light. It seemed that even if the sky was covered in snow, she wouldn't be able to cut off the desires of others. She was, Su Manhe was. All the women in this harem were like this!
"From the looks of it, they should be heading to the Mystical Jade Palace!" Furthermore, Little Peach Red seems to be holding something in her hands! "
"Ointment!" This was the only thing Xia Yaner could use right now! Senior Feng, I want to send a message to Zhen Fei, but I don't want you guys to appear. I wonder if there is a better way? " Xu Bixuan's red lips parted, a trace of hope in her eyes.
Senior Servant Feng thought for a moment before raising her eyes and nodding at Xu Bixuan!
In the royal study, she had lost to Su Manhe's underlings. This time, she was going to make a comeback!
Xu Bixuan turned around and walked in front of Dong'er. She took out a piece of black paper from the offering she held in her arms and tore it into two pieces. She then walked over to the writing table and wrote a few words on it before slowly folding it and placing it in Senior Servant Feng's hands.
"No matter what, this piece of paper must be delivered to the Jade Moon Restaurant before tonight! Tomorrow will be the day of the empress dowager's Hundred Day Sacrifice. Her hands were tightly holding onto Senior Servant Feng, her expression grave. Whether she could turn around or not depended on whether she could take this step out!
"Bi Xuan, don't worry. I can do it!" The firmness between Senior Servant Feng's brows caused Xu Bixuan to slowly lower her hand.
"I believe you!" Watching Senior Feng leave the Feather Leaning Pavilion, Xu Bixuan's expression softened as she revealed a faint smile. She believed that Senior Feng had the ability to do so!
"Big sister Bluelily, what are we going to do next?" Dong'er hugged a large pile of offerings, looking at Xu Bixuan at a loss for words!
"Put these in a concealed place in the inner room, and …" Bring that white robe over here, I want to make a trip outside! "
"En!" Under the hem of her skirt, her limp was still obvious. Xu Bixuan let out a long breath. Once everything was over, she would give Dong'er a good home. In the end, this palace didn't suit her!
"Big Sister Bluelily, where are you going?" "Can your body support such a heavy snowfall?" Little An's eyes were filled with nervousness.
"My wound has already healed. It's fine. Little An Zi, go to the forest behind the Cold Palace and sweep open a clearing! If the snow continues to fall like this, it will be too thick for us to clean up tomorrow! " She could not afford to lose this battle again. Therefore, even if it was just a minor detail, Xu Bixuan would still keep it in her heart!
"En!" Little An knew in his heart that his master was planning something big. Although he couldn't figure it out, he was certain that it was his wish to avenge the little princess and Senior Servant Gui.
When Dong'er came out, Little An Zi had already left the Feather Leaning Pavilion.
"Big Sister Bluelily, I'll accompany you!" Dong'er draped a white robe over Xu Bixuan. She also draped one over herself, and with her small hands, she supported Xu Bixuan as they walked towards the door.
Walking to the door, Xu Bixuan pulled Dong'er's small hand away, her eyes filled with love.
"Dong'er, there can't be no one at the Leaning Feather Pavilion. You stay, remember, take care of the brazier, you can't let it go out! Do you know? "
"But …" But it's snowing so heavily outside, I can't be at ease with you alone! The brazier won't be extinguished, so I added a lot of charcoal inside! " She was worried that it was true, but there was still a trace of fear in her eyes. Xu Bixuan discovered that Dong'er had somehow changed in the past few days, and her reliance on her had grown deeper and deeper, to the point that she would panic if they parted for even a moment. This was not a good thing, she needed Dong'er to learn to stand on her own two feet, because she had to leave this place, to leave her!
"Listen to me!" I will be back soon! " Xu Bixuan walked out of the pavilion and closed the door behind her. As the cracks in the door became smaller and smaller, that look of alarm slowly disappeared from Xu Bixuan's eyes …
A cold wind blew. The cold outside was even more unbearable than what she had imagined. Facing the large snowflakes, Xu Bixuan struggled to walk towards the direction of Jing De Palace. Behind her, the even and powerful footprints were covered in pure white snow without a trace.
Jade Xuan Palace
"Xia Yaner greets esteemed wangfei!" "I thank the Empress for saving my life that day!" It seemed that I had also imitated Xu Bixuan and had become more obscure. Unfortunately, she was not Xu Bixuan after all, and the gratitude in her eyes was a little too heavy. On the contrary, it was very fake.
"Elder sister, there is no need to be like this. I naturally have the reason to save you, I believe elder sister should be clear on this, right?" Su Manhe's eyes lit up as she stared at Xia Yaner.
"This... "May the Empress enlighten me!" From start to finish, Xia Yaner's eyes never once met Su Manhe's, and her humble attitude actually pulled the two of them a distance apart.
Su Manhe's expression froze for a moment. His bright eyes slightly narrowed as a trace of light flashed through them. Then, she smiled …
"Nothing! Little Peach Red, bring the ointment over! " Su Manhe took the ointment from Little Peach Blossom with one hand and lightly carried Xia Yan'er to the bedside with the other …
"This... Let Yan'er handle this herself! "I really don't dare trouble esteemed wangfei!" There was a hint of fear in Xia Yaner's eyes, but her heart was as calm as the surface of a lake. She was not surprised by Su Manhe's arrival!
Su Manhe did not insist and let Xia Yaner take the ointment herself. The ruthlessness in her heart filled every nerve, she never thought that Xia Yaner would actually want to unload and kill a donkey, and learn to sit on the sidelines and watch a battle! She wanted to do it alone, hmph! That would depend on whether she had the ability!
"Big sister's strength is not light. Looking at this wound, I'm afraid it'll take a while for it to recover. It really makes little sister's heart ache. I never thought that Xu Bixuan's actions would be so extreme!" Su Manhe watched as Xia Yan'er slowly rubbed the ointment on her red forehead. Tears welled up in her eyes, and the light in her eyes was like smoke!
"If it were not for the words' the Empress threw her life on the ground and lived on, 'I believe Yan'er would already be a pile of bones. How could she have survived until now? "Yan Er does not blame her …" Her gentle voice carried some indifference as Xia Yan'er placed the medicinal paste on top of it, before carefully handing it over to Ying'er.
"This is esteemed wangfei's beautiful intentions, take good care of them!" As she turned her eyes, she smiled sweetly and looked magnanimously at Su Man He.
Elder sister is truly a righteous person, it seems that she really is a despicable person!" Originally, there was a great opportunity for Big Sister to vent her anger. But now, it seems like … "It's fine if you don't want to say it!" Her light blue skirt fluttered along the bed curtain as she shot a glance at Xia Yan'er from the corner of her eyes. Her heart, at this moment, had finally stopped beating. Xia Yan'er was Xia Yan'er. She would never be able to make a second Xu Bixuan, because … She didn't have the ability!
"The wind and snow are in a hurry outside, Esteemed Concubine Xin, take care!" Seeing Su Man He stand up, Xia Yan'er did not have any intention of stopping him.
"Elder sister is injured, please forgive your manners! However, big sister must go to the Hundred Day Sacrifice of the Empress Dowager tomorrow, ah! That's right, it also seemed to be the Little Princess' Hundred Day Graveyard! But the Emperor didn't mention it, so be it! "It's better to have less trouble than less. The harem, there's always someone who speaks!" With that said and shut, Su Manhe's eyes only indifferently swept over Xia Yan'er's eyes. She turned around and placed her hand on Little Peach Blossom's wrist …
"Little Peach Blossom, let's go!" When I go back to inspect, I'll have to be careful with the matter of the sacrifice tomorrow. This palace is not like the people's; there are many rules! " Su Man He's seemingly insignificant words before she left caused a huge uproar!
