Ever since his De's Shop had been sealed by poison, Jin Xiaotao's flesh had been beaten until it split open. He laid on the ground in the tavern, unconscious.

If not for Luo'er who was following him, Jin Xiaotao felt that even if she died in the inn, no one would know.

Especially He Guangkun who had no conscience, when he was in the De's Shop, he ate and drank from. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared without a trace.

Jin Xiaotao spat, and waved for Luo'er to bring him a cup of tea.

He took a sip of hot tea and dispelled the fatigue from his limbs and bones. Only then did his spirit rise again.

He raised his head and asked the person beside him, "How is Liu-Li and Linlang?"

"The Linlang Workshop is as usual." She was afraid that the shopkeeper would be angered, but she could not speak the truth. "Liuli Workshop... The Liuli Workshop is even more fervent now, it's four in three tonight. Right now, it's not even noon yet, and Golden Appendage Lane has already been blocked to the point where not even a drop of water can trickle through … "

Jin Xiaotao shook her head, she did not want to speak anymore.

He really didn't know how this Jin Xiaolou's brain grew, to think that there were so many fresh and strange ideas coming out one after another.

In the past, she had always been silly, but she had never thought that the older she grew, the smarter she would become …

After resting for a while, Jin Xiaotao spoke again: "Come, let's go watch the Star Forging Competition tonight!"

"But …" However, Shopkeeper, your body has not fully recovered. " Luo'er was apprehensive. Her shopkeeper couldn't even get down to the ground yesterday, so he had to leave today. If anything happened, what would she do?

"Why do you have so much to say!?" Jin Xiaotao was not happy, she did not like people talking too much.

Previously, she had looked down upon Jin Xiaolou too much, and thought that she was still the little sister that she could control as she pleased.

But after suffering such a huge loss, Jin Xiaotao had finally recognized Jin Xiaolou's true ability from the bottom of her heart.

Jin Xiaotao had a lot of schemes up her sleeves. In the past, she could endure humiliation for more than ten years, so she could be considered to have trained her patience and calmness. She had been underestimating her opponent before, and because her path had been smooth sailing, her suppressed temper had been released and she had been reckless and insolent in her actions.

At this moment, she had retracted her impetuous attitude and once again viewed Jin Xiaolou as a formidable opponent.

To deal with an enemy, the most important thing was to understand his strength.

Jin Xiaotao ignored the wounds on her body that were not completely healed yet, and still insisted on going to take a look at the Liuli Workshop, because hearing things through was better than seeing it with one's eyes, and only by understanding the opponent's methods would he be able to learn from his elders, and attack their weaknesses.

She did not want to go back to Xin Ning with a dejected face. As long as she still had a breath, she would struggle and stand out in the capital.

"Innkeeper, there's a message from Hong Ling." Lv Yun's voice trembled a little, "Your Majesty … "The emperor passed away …"

Hong Ling was one of the twelve girls in Liuli Workshop, and was eliminated at seven to six o'clock. Jiang Ergong, from the Jiang manor was her number one fan, and she spent a lot of money to get to the top of the Golden Ranking.

Hong Ling immediately fell for her father, the handsome and elegant Second Young Master Jiang, and followed him back to the mansion.

Jiang was one of the five close attendants who knelt outside the door of the chamber when the emperor died.

The moment he returned to the manor, Hong Ling found out about this news and quickly transmitted the news back to the Liuli Workshop.

Jin Xiaolou was currently holding onto Lin'er's golden carp to feed it. As she looked at the lotus leaves, she saw that the red and yellow fish were shuttling back and forth, and frowned: "Go to Liuli Workshop to open the gate, the competition will begin immediately, and send the girls out before the orders from the palace comes out. Otherwise, the funeral will begin, and no entertainment will be allowed for twenty-seven months.

Lv Yun's face became ugly, "Innkeeper, I... I haven't finished. "

"Why?" Jin Xiaolou's heart jumped.

"Hong Ling said …" The emperor bestowed the Fifth Prince as the Prince Xian, bestowed it with … confer the title of Prince Yao on our Seventh Prince, and order him to head for Jiang Huai. After the Twelfth Prince ascends the throne, the Empress will hold court from behind the screen. "

This emperor was really muddle-headed.

She was wary of Gao Lang, naturally, Jin Xiaolou did not blame him, but he actually called him the imperial harem Qian Zheng, she really hated the fact that his Great Zhou was too long!

Jin Xiaolou lightly patted Lv Yun's arm: "You go to Liuli Workshop first, do not worry about anything else.

Although Lv Yun was still worried, she nodded obediently and went straight towards the Liuli Workshop.

"Jiang Fu …" Jin Xiaolou muttered. She wasn't worried about going too far, because she believed in Gao Lang, and she also believed in herself. Even if they went to the ends of the earth, there would still come a day where they would return.

Seeing the Lin'er at the side of the pool laughing happily, Jin Xiaolou reached out and stroked her flat stomach.

For the children, staying away from the Imperial City was perhaps more free and enjoyable.

"Lin'er, come, come to mother's place." Jin Xiaolou patted her knees, and the little Lin'er ran towards her while laughing merrily.

With a snort, she threw herself into Jin Xiaolou's embrace.

Jin Xiaolou loved the moment when the Lin'er hugged him the most. She felt that this little ball in her arms was brighter than the entire universe.

"Does Lin'er want to see the desert?" Jin Xiaolou pinched his chubby little face, "There's no end of golden sand in sight, just like the sea!"

"Yes!" Lin'er blinked his big eyes and nodded with all his might.

When Jin Xiaolou had told Lin'er her bedtime story, she had already described the appearance of the ocean.

However, this was the first time he had heard of the desert.

"Are mother and father going?" Lin'er hurriedly asked, "Wherever mother and father go, Lin'er will go!"

"Alright, then we'll go see the desert together!" Jin Xiaolou vigorously kissed her son's face.

The competition for the Liuli Workshop had finished, and other than the champion Hua Kui and Jin Wen Su who wanted to stay and stay behind to create their Liuli Workshop, the other three people had all went to the residences of the famous figures in the capital.

Jin Wen Su was petite, but she was proficient in calligraphy and calligraphy, and was even more breathtaking when it came to singing and dancing.

In the past, Jin Wan Su was a woman who didn't even know her own biological parents, who had followed her boss to sell her skills in the martial arts world. From when she was young until now, she didn't have a single proper name, but after being called a little girl, Jin Xiaolou had to buy her home before giving her the name of Jin Wan Su.

He never imagined that she would be the victor after so many trials and tribulations, winning all the way to the end.

After this round of matches, everyone in the capital knew of the name of Jinwan Su. The fans were also willing to throw away their money just for the sake of beauties and beauties.

Amidst the commotion, Jin Xiaotao led Luo'er and silently left. She had already memorized all the details of the Star Creation Competition, and wanted to return to the tavern to carefully study it. She would use her savings to purchase a shop, and then, she would be able to imitate the details.

It was just like when he was studying Mountain Note back then.

As soon as he reached the door, he heard the ringing sound of bells coming from all directions, one after another.

"What's going on?" Jin Xiaotao had never seen such a formation before, she only felt the long and resounding sound of the bell ringing in her chest, causing her to feel stuffy.

"I'm afraid … I'm afraid the emperor has passed away!" As soon as she finished speaking, the people on the street all fell to their knees.

Her legs gave out and she fell to the ground. Jin Xiaotao's face became even more pale. The Emperor passed away, and the funeral needed three years. A party was not allowed within three years.

Shouts and wails instantly filled the entire capital.

After the emperor's funeral, the catalpa palace was set up in the Palace of Dry and Clear, and all the important officials in the capital had changed into mourning clothes and gathered at the gate to fast at noon. Every day they would pay their respects to the Emperor.

However, on the second day, the posthumous edict of the Emperor was promulgated.

Naturally, there were those who were happy and those who were sad.

Only when the emperor's catalpa palace had been moved to the funeral palace and performed the "offering ceremony" did the imperial overseer check the good times and offer sacrifices to the heaven and earth, to the Supreme Temple, and from the funeral palace to the mausoleum and underground palace. Then, the heir emperor Zhao Yu carried the coffin and placed it on the bed.

The new emperor and the civil and military officials made a 'formal gift' on the sacrificial altar. Only then did the late emperor's funeral finally come to an end.

It had been half a month since the death of the Emperor.

During this half a month, Gao Lang, along with everyone else, had not once regained their Rainbow Garden.

When Jin Xiaolou saw Gao Lang again, the outline of his face seemed to have grown deeper.

"Is it because of Jiang Fu?" Jin Xiaolou stood up and hugged Gao Lang who had just entered the garden.

Gao Lang heaved a sigh of relief, leaned on Jin Xiaolou and shook her head lightly: "I do regret not being able to see him one last time."

Gao Lang closed his eyes. He hated the emperor, but because he was the emperor, he had no choice but to save him.

Towards the feelings of this Royal Father, Gao Lang was conflicted.

No matter what, he needed to see the emperor's final moments. He wanted to personally ask the emperor why, why he wanted to harm his mother, and why he wanted to be so cruel.

He wanted a truth.

It was a pity that he would never be able to ask, nor would he be able to hear the answer.

Jin Xiaolou understood everything, but she was completely powerless. She could only support Gao Lang's back that was starting to tremble slightly, and use all of his strength to hug him.

In the Hall of Clear Brilliance, the empress had just ordered someone to bring the Twelfth Prince to bed.

He turned his head and with a cold expression, he looked at Sui Gu and said: "Noble Yang thinks of the late emperor, so she cannot be at ease at night. Before I ascend the throne, send her to Tzu En Temple to eat and recite Buddhist scriptures, and recite them for the late emperor every day."

Sui Gu raised her head and looked at the Empress.

The Queen nodded her head, causing Sui Gu's face to droop, before nodding his head and answering, "Yes."

"There's also Zhao Yao." The empress clenched her hands. "We'll set out on schedule. Find some good men and get ready. Don't let things go wrong this time."

Sui Gu quickly replied: "Empress, don't worry. This servant heard that the capital is only through the leopard forest, and that it is filled with wealthy wolves, tigers, and leopards. There are also many bandits, so I'm sure it is called Seventh Prince."

"Yes." The Empress snorted, "This difficult bone has finally been broken and he's been bitten off. Right now, only Zhao Jin is left."

"Prince Xian has always been obedient." Sui Gu comforted her, "Empress, you are nothing to be afraid of."

The empress just laughed coldly, "Are you going to just stay put or hide? This Prince Xian that never takes over will either die or leave, the capital is too small, it will not be able to hold back so many of our royal grandchildren! "
