Yao Xiaoyan threw her phone to the side and shivered while hugging her blanket.
It was obvious that Ou Yifan also knew that she had been tied to Bibi's crotch, which meant that her invitation to this century's wedding was all part of the plan!
After her fear was anger, Yao Xiaoyan quickly got up and found her clothes. After putting them on, she quickly left the hotel.
Sitting in the taxi, the first person Yao Xiaoyan could think of was Dugu Ling. Although Dugu Ling had embarrassed her with his words, he no longer had the courage to care about those matters! Before he had the courage, Yao Xiaoyan thought it was more important to keep his life!
Yao Xiaoyan gave Dugu Ling a call, and the call was quickly picked up.
"Where are you?" Yao Xiaoyan asked in a low voice.
Dugu Ling glanced at the car that had crashed into Ou Yifan, and curled his lips lazily. With the same cold voice, he asked, "Watching TV at home, is there anything you need?"
Yao Xiaoyan gripped her phone tightly. Although the man's words were cold, they sounded like heavenly music to her, "I have something to tell you. Can I go find you?"
Dugu Ling's voice was as cold as ever, without any fluctuations in it, "Up to you!"
Holding the phone in her hand, Yao Xiaoyan bit her lips and finally gave the driver an address.
Although it was the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, the weather was still very hot. The park on both sides of the road was filled with people enjoying the cool weather, but Yao Xiaoyan felt chills running down her spine.
She didn't know how she managed to get rid of Bibi, but right now, she really wanted to see Dugu Ling!
Dugu Ling hung up the phone and looked at the name card in his hand. His eyes suddenly turned red.
This name card was found in Ou Yifan's wallet, there were three words written on it: Li Tiancheng!
In the Li family's villa, Dugu Ling was invited into Li Tian Cheng's study.
As soon as he entered the room, Dugu Ling saw a large rosewood desk with Xin'an Ink, Chengzhou Muddlestone, Taizhou-Purple Hair, mica sprinkled with gold. Behind the desk was a row of rosewood cuttings, bottles, gall, guqin, chess pieces, and a volume of blue-black, lint-wrapped books, neatly arranged on the partition. There was also a pile of bamboo slips inside the separation wall that released waves of ink.
In the corner of the room, stood a half-human tall bronze immortal crane neck-drawing censer. Strands of delicate fragrance wafted out from the immortal crane's mouth.
As soon as Dugu Ling entered the room, he could smell that fragrance. It was the fragrance of heavy water, the most suitable for burning in the hot summer, the fragrance that was ice-cold and refreshing.
At this moment, Li Tian Cheng was sitting beside a small round purple sandalwood table in the middle of the room. His white hands were holding onto a green secret porcelain teapot and he slowly poured himself a cup of tea, "I am honored to have the presence of the Emperor Dugu, my humble home truly brings light to my humble home!"
Dugu Ling looked at the face that was identical to Li Zu'e's, and could not help but frown.
Gao Yang had two important women in his life: one was Yao Ling'er, and the other was Li Zu'e!
Gao Yang's elder brother, who was born to be a dragon and a phoenix among men, was intelligent and intelligent since young. Yan Ming had a broad understanding of the situation, had political talent, and was loved by Gao Huanhuan. Once his father, Gao Huan, had asked them to untangle a bunch of hemp. Gao Yang despised trouble and chopped off the intertwined hemp with a few slashes, but he didn't expect Gao Huan to recognize him. He praised, "This child is aware of me."
Furthermore, Gao Yang had realized then that there was something wrong with him and that he couldn't beg for his life, so he could only pretend to be a fool. He had lived his life in chaos, never expecting that Li Zu'e would abandon his arrogance and choose him as her husband.
Li Zu'e was someone who encouraged Gao Yang to walk out of his predicament. It was recorded in history that Gao Yang had been deranged and cruel, but he was extremely respectful to his wife, Li Zu'e.
Gao Yang did not love Li Zu'e, but admired Li Zu'e.
After Yao Ling'er's death, Gao Yang became dispirited and abandoned the throne, while Li Zu E was taken by his younger brother Gao Xian.
In his heart, Gao Yang actually felt guilty towards Li Zu'e.
"Emperor Dugu, how about you sit down and have a cup of tea?" This tea is unobtainable outside of the market. It's the tea stir-frying technique passed down in my family! " Li Tian Cheng laughed and pushed the autumn porcelain teacup in front of Dugu Ling.
In ancient times, when Gao Yang came back from a war, he saw Li Zu'e stir-frying tea, his tears dripping onto the pot.
"What happened?" Gao Yang asked Li Zu'e's maid.
The maid was about to answer when she was heard by Li Zu'e. She put down the spatula and smiled, "What happened? My tears are the secret recipe for making tea. You'll know when you taste it later!"
The tea leaves that Li Zu'e made were sweet and long, but at the end, there was a hint of bitterness in them, making people think about it.
Only after Gao Yang asked the maid about it later did he find out that his big brother, Gao Feng, had come to his mansion today to tease Li Zu'e.
At that time, Gao Yang had just accepted the fact that he was no longer a human. Compared to his big brother Gao Cheng, the difference in power was too great. Li Zu'e was afraid that he wouldn't be able to hold back, so she purposely said that teary was the Li family's secret recipe for stir-frying tea.
Gao Yang had only tasted that pot of tea once and had never tasted it again!
Later on, when he ascended to the throne of the Emperor, he made people stronger than their original owner, making it so that they could take revenge for Li Zu'e.
To Gao Yang, Li Zu'e was his best friend!
However, fifteen hundred years later, Dugu Ling, who had regained his human personality, once again tasted the tea that he had fifteen hundred years ago. The fragrance was long and sweet, and in the end, there was a hint of bitterness.
Dugu Ling put down his teacup, not wanting to continue beating around the bush with Li Tian Cheng, "What is your relationship with Li Zu E?"
Li Tian Cheng was startled and asked: "How did the Emperor Dugu know that my ancestor was Empress Li Bei Qi?"
"You are a descendant of Li Zu'e?" Dugu Ling frowned. No wonder Li Tian Cheng looked exactly like Li Zu'e. Li Tian Cheng was a descendant of Li Zu'e and Gao Shen!
I also have a portrait of my ancestors. My parents said that Emperor Wen Xuan personally painted it for Empress Li!" As he said that, Li Tian Cheng got up and walked over to the row of rosewood carvings on the wall. He took out a yellow scroll and opened it to reveal an ancient painting of a lady, the woman in the drawing had a straight nose bridge, but it did not look heroic at all, causing people to feel that her entire profile line was very gentle, her eyes and the corners of her mouth had a perfect curve, her eyes seemed very focused, just like a fairy standing in the clouds, looking like a weak and frail flower that could be revealed at any time.
Gao Yang's private seal was at the bottom of the painting. The words "Wen Xuan" were written in smooth and elegant handwriting.
With a single glance, Dugu Ling was able to tell that this was indeed his painting. It was painted by Li Zu Er when he first entered the palace.
Li Tiancheng placed the portrait of Li Zu'e beside his face and winked mischievously at Dugu Ling, "Emperor Dugu, am I similar to Empress Wen Xuan?"
Dugu Ling let out a deep breath, "Indeed, they are very similar!"
Li Tian Cheng accepted the painting and invited Dugu Ling to sit down again, "My parents also said so, so I'm very interested in the Northern Qi Cultural Relics. I have a feeling that I might be the reincarnation of Empress Wen Xuan!"
Dugu Ling's eyes darkened.
"Oh yeah, it can't be that Emperor Dugu has come to see me so late to hear about the history of my ancestors, right?" Li Tian Cheng smiled and asked, "Are you willing to agree to my proposal and become the spokesperson for my Li family's precious treasure?"
Dugu Ling's eyes slowly turned cold, "I've said that I won't be your spokesperson. This time, I've come for the Soul Reversal Aroma of Ou Yifan!"
Li Tian Cheng was stunned, "How did you know about the Soul-Returning Incense? Half a month ago, Ou Yifan really did buy the Soul-Returning Incense from me, and he said that his new wife was seriously ill! "
"Is that so?" He moved forward and fiercely grabbed Li Tian Cheng's neck, "Li Tian Cheng, listen carefully, I don't care who you are. As long as you dare to have any improper thoughts, I will still not show mercy!"
Li Tian Cheng's face flushed red. She almost couldn't breathe as she turned her head to look at Dugu Ling, begging, "Emperor Dugu … What are you doing? "I …"
"This is my last warning to you, remember!" Dugu Ling said coldly as he let go of Li Tian Cheng.
She looked at Dugu Ling, completely confused and wronged, "Dugu Xingfeng, I do not know what you mean by those words. I am a fan of yours, I like your movies very much, and towards you, I only have respect and admiration for you, what other thoughts can I have?"
Dugu Ling stared at Li Tian Cheng's face. He was sure that Li Tian Cheng was human now, it couldn't be Li Zu'e, but he felt that there was something hiding beneath that familiar face, making him unable to see it clearly.
Dugu Ling slowly straightened his back and said solemnly, "It's best if you do that! Do not forget my warning! "
Dugu Ling walked out of the mansion coldly.
A'Yi entered the room and saw Li Tian Cheng slumped on the ground. He hurried over and asked, "Miss, are you alright?"
At this time, Li Tian Cheng could no longer control his anger, and suddenly threw the scroll in his hand onto the ground.
"Gao Yang, Gao Yang, how can you be so ungrateful? Even this painting can't bring back a hint of your feelings? Why? "Why?" Li Tian Cheng sat down on the ground slowly, then suddenly burst out laughing, "Li Zu E, if he had feelings for you back then, he wouldn't have left you behind, leaving you in that dangerous palace being abused by those people. In his heart, there was only that woman, only that woman!"
Li Tian Cheng slowly stood up, his face filled with ruthlessness, "Gao Yang, if you let me down, I'll let you have a taste of being disappointed. You risked your life to protect me, but I still want to destroy you!"
Li Tiancheng stepped forward and passed a contract to Yi. "Give this contract to Yao Xiaoyan!"
Yi nodded.
When Yao Xiaoyan rushed into Dugu Ling's villa, Dugu Ling was actually watching TV. It looked like an anti-Japanese movie. On the TV, a woman in red was hugging a man with blood all over her face, "Little devils want to touch my crotch, can I let them touch me?"
"…" All the fear in Yao Xiaoyan's heart disappeared when she saw Dugu Ling and heard this line.
"That place belongs to you alone, touch …" The woman took the man's hand and put it under her clothes.
Yao Xiaoyan shivered.
"Silver sister, you know me the best …" Then a man and a woman kissed on the screen.
Dugu Ling tried his best to maintain a calm and relaxed posture. His slender legs were crossed over the tea table, while his heart was filled with all sorts of thoughts.
He left Li Tiansheng's villa, but it was already too late. He could only teleport back in time and switch on the television. Yao Xiaoyan came in as soon as it was switched on. No one expected the anti-Japanese drama to be so chaotic!
Yao Xiao Yan stood there, not knowing what to say.
Finally, Dugu Ling raised his eyes as his long eyelashes blinked. He glanced at Yao Xiaoyan and asked with an indifferent tone, "Is there something you need?"
Yao Xiaoyan hesitated for a moment before she shook her head, "It's nothing …" Look at your TV, I won't disturb you anymore. I'll go up and take a rest! "
Yao Xiaoyan headed upstairs as she kept telling herself that she had gotten her certificate from Dugu Ling and that she could live in this house. She was going home, and there was no harm in her self-esteem!
Dugu Ling was stunned. He stared at the back view of Yao Xiaoyan as he opened his mouth, but no sound came out from it in the end.
Yao Xiaoyan walked to the front of the room and heard the sound of men kissing. She hesitated for a moment before she turned around and asked, "Emperor Dugu, when will your underwear be advertised?"
Dugu Ling was stunned, and the corner of his lips twitched uncontrollably. Underwear advertisement?
Yao Xiaoyan stared at Dugu Ling as he glanced at the television screen.
"Now I'm really comfortable …" From the TV came the sound of a man sighing with satisfaction...
Yao Xiaoyan shivered once more.
Dugu Ling lowered his voice and said, "The auction will start in a few days." Then he decisively turned off the television.
Yao Xiaoyan then pushed open the door and entered the room. She lay on the bed and covered herself with the blanket. When she thought of Dugu Ling downstairs, she finally felt at ease.
Her phone rang. Yao Xiaoyan hesitated for a moment as she was afraid that it would be Ou Yifan again. After hesitating for a long while, she took a look and saw that it was Bai Xiaobai.
"Lil 'White, where did you go?" "Why are you …" Yao Xiaoyan quickly answered the phone. Before she finished her sentence, she heard Bai Xiaobai's sobbing voice, "Yanyan, don't fire me. I really can't bear to part with you …"
"Lil 'White, when am I going to fire you?" Yao Xiaoyan blanked out for a moment.
"Didn't you give me three months' severance pay and let me go?" The sound of Bai Xiaobai blowing his nose came from the phone.
Yao Xiaoyan paused for a moment before realizing something. She hurriedly said, "Little White, I'm sorry. I was in a bad mood …"
Bai Xiaobai could not believe it and asked, "Yan Yan Yan, you really don't want to fire me?"
Yao Xiaoyan quickly comforted Bai Xiaobai, "Lil 'White, I won't fire you. Don't worry!"
Bai Xiaobai was stunned for a moment and then began to cry. "Yao Xiaoyan, in the future, don't say such words even if you're in a bad mood. Do you know that I'm really sad!?"
Yao Xiaoyan whispered an apology, "I'm really sorry, Lil 'White, don't be sad!"
"Where are you?" Still at the Hanlin Hotel? " Bai Xiaobai blew his nose again, and his voice slowly returned to normal. "Just now, Shadow Emperor Dugu called me, and I told him the address. Did he go to the hotel to find you?"
Yao Xiaoyan was stunned, "You said Dugu Ling called you?"
"That's right, it seems to be in a hurry. I hung up before finishing my call!" The sound of Bai Xiao Bai eating potato chips came from the phone.
"I'm at Dugu Ling's villa!" Yao Xiaoyan whispered, knowing that Bai Xiaobai was fine.
"Oh, Emperor Dugu has brought you back? Did you get into an argument with the Dugu shadow emperor? " Bai Xiaobai asked again.
"No, Lil 'White, don't ask!" As Yao Xiaoyan thought about what Dugu Ling had said to Zhao Xiao Ya, his expression darkened.
But she still shamelessly came back!
Oh yeah, Yan Yan, did you know? That Bibi is dead. That police car we saw when we got out was probably for this. Do you think it's strange …?" "AHH!" Suddenly, Bai Lil 'White cried out. Yao Xiaoyan was shocked by her devilish voice.
"Yan Yan, quickly watch the news, say that you've caught a car at a suburban reservoir, and it could be Sky King Ou Yifan!" Bai Xiaobai was shouting loudly over there.
Yao Xiaoyan quickly turned off the phone and went online. The moment she opened the page, she saw the news of the Heavenly King's Giant Star, Ou Yifan, breaking the railings in a car accident and falling into a reservoir.
Yao Xiaoyan tried her best to calm herself down as she clicked on it with trembling hands. The first photo was of a fireman piloting a small boat to salvage a car. The news kept updating.
"According to a witness at the scene, he saw this car driving along the road beside the reservoir as if it was hiding something. The car suddenly went out of control and drove towards the reservoir. With a 'dong' sound, it plunged into the water!"
"The nearby residents are running towards the reservoir, but the car is sinking lower and lower. Someone saw a male driver inside the car. It's Sky King Ou Yifan!"
"Some residents called the police. When the police arrived, the cars could no longer be seen in the water. Several villagers spontaneously paddled the boats to help search for them."
Half an hour later, Yao Xiaoyan finally got the latest news.
"After the car was pulled ashore, the fireman forced the door open and took the driver out to the hospital. According to the firefighters, the driver had no sign of life. "According to the police, the driver is the Celestial King Giant Star, Ou Yifan. A few hours ago, his wife, Heavenly King Sister-in-Law Bibi, passed away with a heart attack. Some people suspect that the Celestial King Giant Star, Ou Yifan, committed suicide because he could not bear the loss of his wife. However, the real cause of the accident is still under investigation!"
Yao Xiao Yan stared blankly at the news on her phone, unable to react for a long time. Ou Yifan is dead? Looking at the time, it should have been an accident right after he called her. She remembered Ou Yifan shouting loudly, it seemed to be Dugu? Bai Bai Bai said that Dugu Ling had looked for her. Did that Dugu Ling go to the Hanlin Hotel? Was it because of Dugu Ling that she was able to get rid of Bibi?
Yao Xiaoyan recalled the scene where Dugu Ling saved her at the edge of the lake. If it wasn't for Dugu Ling, how did she get rid of Bibi?
The more Yao Xiaoyan thought about it, the more she felt that Dugu Ling was mysterious.
Previously, she was afraid of Dugu Ling, so she didn't dare to question him in detail. Now that she thought about it, everything seemed to be a little strange.
There was also that time at the studio when she was haunted by Lin Nian and the extras' mother-in-law. She also seemed to have seen Dugu Ling, although Dugu Ling had tried his best to deny it afterwards.
Yao Xiaoyan stood up and opened the door.
Dugu Ling was no longer in the hall downstairs. She quietly walked towards his room and pressed his ear against the door, listening for any sounds from inside.
Silence!
Yao Xiaoyan knocked on the door.
"Come in!" Dugu Ling's indifferent voice sounded.
Yao Xiaoyan pushed the door open and entered.
In the room, Dugu Ling seemed to have just finished his bath. He was wearing a pair of white silk pajamas with pink roses embroidered on the bottom. Looking at the roses, Yao Xiaoyan suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.
"Empress, what are you embroidering?" Fu'er put her face close to Yao Ling'er's. "It looks like a kind of flower. It looks familiar, but I can't recall it!"
Yao Ling'er chewed on the needle and thread in her mouth, "It's Rose, it's everywhere in the garden!"
"Aiya, look at my brain. I see it every day, so why can't I see it?" Fu'er chuckled.
Yao Ling'er glanced at him and asked, "Is it because I didn't embroider the same thing?"
"No, the empress's embroidery is very similar!" Fu'er smiled. "Your Imperial Majesty will like whatever the Empress embroidery is!"
Yao Ling'er couldn't help but smile. She asked in a low voice, "Fu'er, do you know what the words of a rose are?"
Fu'er shook his head. "What do you mean by flowery speech?"
"Just like flowers represent love, red roses are passionate love, white roses are pure love, crimson roses only want to be together with you, pink roses … …" Yao Ling'er slowly caressed that pink rose, not saying a word.
"Empress, what does pink rose represent?" Fu'er couldn't help but urge.
Yao Ling'er raised her eyes and smiled. "I won't tell you. You think about it yourself!"
"The vow of love, the hand of the mastermind, to live together till the end …" Yao Xiaoyan muttered.
"What did you say?" Dugu Ling was stunned.
Yao Xiaoyan immediately snapped back to reality. What did she say just now?
"You said that the vow of love, the one who takes the lead, will be with your son until you are old!" Dugu Ling repeated Yao Xiaoyan's words word by word as he slowly approached his.
Yao Xiaoyan was stunned for a moment. Did she say that? It seems like …
Yao Xiaoyan lifted her head and Dugu Ling was already standing in front of her. His pair of deep green eyes were staring intently at Yao Xiaoyan's eyes.
Yao Xiaoyan couldn't help but to swallow her saliva. She didn't like Dugu Ling's gaze and couldn't help but look away. However, Dugu Ling stretched out his hand and pinned her face to the ground.
Yao Xiaoyan couldn't help but look Dugu Ling in the eye.
"About that, I said that I just saw a movie called 'Oath of Love'. Do you want to watch it?" Yao Xiaoyan hurriedly said.
A hint of disappointment could be seen in Dugu Ling's eyes. He slowly put down his hand and quickly turned around to lie on the bed, his slender legs crossed as he said, "I don't want to watch a movie today. I don't need you to bring me a tablet, you can go rest!"
Yao Xiaoyan hesitated for a moment before asking, "Little White said you called to find me. Did you go to Han Lin Hotel?"
Dugu Ling paused as he raised his eyes, "Why would I go to the Hanlin Hotel? I came to find you because I was afraid you would say something that would harm the crew. As you know, there's been an incident between Shi Jiayin and Xiao Bo, and many unfavorable comments were made to our crew from the outside. You, including your assistant, have always talked and acted without thinking! "
Yao Xiaoyan's eyes were blazing with anger. Dugu Ling had initially told Zhao Xiaoya that she could not hold on, but he had anxiously looked for her afterwards, afraid that she would spout nonsense. Since he didn't trust her so much, why did he want her to be his girlfriend?
"Emperor Dugu, don't worry. Bai Xiaobai and I will definitely not meet with any problems. I'll definitely record this movie well!" Yao Xiaoyan turned around and left the room in a huff.
Dugu Ling slowly loosened his fingers.
The Oath of Love? Dugu Ling picked up the bed plate, opened it, searched, and found that there really was a movie called "Oath of Love". Dugu Ling flipped through the movie review.
"But you and I both know in our hearts that the power to keep a vow forever is not from words." Dugu Ling could not help but smile bitterly. This movie was quite compatible with his current mood!
As soon as he entered the room, Dugu Ling saw a large rosewood desk with Xin'an Ink, Chengzhou Muddlestone, Taizhou-Purple Hair, mica sprinkled with gold. Behind the desk was a row of rosewood cuttings, bottles, gall, guqin, chess pieces, and a volume of blue-black, lint-wrapped books, neatly arranged on the partition. There was also a pile of bamboo slips inside the separation wall that released waves of ink.
"Alright, movie emperor, look over here!" At this moment in the studio, Dugu Ling was expressionless and cold to the end. Beside him were three half-blooded beauties in underwear that would make one's heart beat wildly, constantly showing off their beauty.
"Shadow Emperor Dugu, you should at least cooperate with me a bit. At the very least, can't you make an expression?" The photographer helplessly looked at Dugu Ling.
Dugu Ling completely ignored them. He raised his arm to look at his watch and said expressionlessly, "Five more minutes!"
"Alright, alright. Hurry up and do the filming. It's already a great thing that the film empress can take on this advertisement. Don't ask for such a high price!" Furthermore, I feel that this style is the usual style of the Shadow Emperor! " The head of the underwear company hurried the photographer.
The photographer could only clap rapidly.
One of the models hesitated for a long time before finally making up his mind. He placed his hand on Dugu Ling's shoulder.
The expression on Dugu Ling's face did not change, but his words pierced the hearts of everyone present, "Take off your claws!"
The model's face turned red and he quickly put his hands down.
"Chi!" The other model sneered. His face was filled with schadenfreude. However, he was thinking, luckily, she didn't do anything.
"Good, very good!" The cameraman quickly took pictures of the scene. With the time needed to change his underwear, five minutes quickly passed.
Looking at the time, Dugu Ling walked down.
Hu Zi helped Dugu Ling remove his makeup and change his clothes.
"Master, why did you accept this advertisement!?" Actually, Hu Zi's subtext was, since he accepted this kind of advertisement, why would he put on such a loyal face? Aren't you trying to be a b * tch and establish a memorial archway!?
If not for the fact that there were other staff members present, Dugu Ling really wanted to tear off Hu Zi's head.
Why would Hu Zi still have the face to make such an advertisement for him? He would rather make this advertisement than let Yao Xiaoyan think that he was a perverted demon!
Master... Master, what did I do wrong? " "Hu Zi's face was full of tears and sobs. Recently, he had been very obedient. He had only left one cup for himself while he had to return the rest!
Dugu Ling changed into a new set of clothes and walked out of the studio with a cold expression.
"Master, I have received some news!" In the end, Huzi decided to atone for his actions, although he didn't know what kind of fork came up this time.
"That Lee family treasure is planning to use Miss Yao as their company's spokesperson. I heard that she is already planning to sign a contract with Yao Xiaoyan's agency!" Hu Zi said.
Dugu Ling stopped in his tracks.
Bingo, he knew that his master was related to Yao Xiaoyan the most! Hu Zi raised his eyebrows proudly.
