The streets of the State of Liu were filled with people, carriages and carriages, rows upon rows of pavilions and stalls lined up along the winding streets. Yu Jing swung her tasseled pendant from her belt and ran around the streets, buying a lot of gadgets. Lu Shaheng quietly followed behind and watched Lin Xuan run back and forth with Yu Jing.
He scanned the street coldly, taking in everything in the world. His eyes were as cold as still water. There was no warmth, only malice. The more power a person had, the more he would despise everything in the world. Lu Shaoheng was such a person. He held the world in his hands, ignored everything else, and was insufferably arrogant.
"So many clay dolls." Yu Jing stopped in front of the mud man stall and admired the mud man on the shelf.
"Give her one." Lu Shaoheng walked over, placed a silver ingot on the shelf, and said to the old man who was pinching the clay figurine, "No need to look for it."
The old man was startled at first, then he happily accepted the silver and started pinching the clay figurine. He was diligent in perfecting every detail. No matter if it was the green smile on Yu Jing's face, or the pearl blossoms in her hair, he always made them look very real.
After a while, the old man handed the clay figurine to Yu Jing. Just as Yu Jing reached out her hand to catch the clay figurine, a horse carriage rushed over. The color in Lu Shaoheng's eyes changed as he grabbed onto Yu Jing's waist and twisted to avoid her attack.
A man in black came out of the car and drew his sword. Lu Shaoheng frowned, then quickly hugged Yu Jing and spun around to avoid it. The sound of silk tearing was heard, accompanied by a scarlet splash into the air.
Lin Xuan was startled and quickly drew his sword. The streets suddenly became chaotic, people screamed and dodged, and the streets were filled with the scent of death. Lin Xuan was distracted by the children on the street and was hit by Liuchuan's palm. He staggered, clutching his chest and coughing up blood.
Then, Lu Shaoheng flew forward and began to fight with Liuchuan with his bare hands.
"Who the hell are you?" Lu Shaheng fell back, and tripped over the hemp rope that suddenly bounced up from the ground.
Lu Chuan seized the opportunity to pursue and attack, retracting his sword and swinging his palm. Lu Shaoheng, who suffered a palm to his chest, instantly coughed up blood, took a few steps back, and then tripped and fell to the ground.
"I am the one who will send you to see the King of Hell!" Flowing River flew forward, his sword aimed at Lu Shaoheng's heart.
A piece of silk flew out of the attic, and a smear of crimson entered his eyes. The sudden appearance of the 100 miles of fragrant snow startled Liu Chuan. He hastily retracted his internal energy and turned his body to another place.
"Let's go!" Fifty miles of fragrant snow grabbed onto Lu Shaoheng's arm, and the two of them flew away on the wind.
When they stopped by the lake, the fragrant snow from a hundred miles away helped Lu Shaoheng walk towards the pavilion. After he sat down, she took out her needle bag and gave it to him.
"What do you want to do?" Sweat trickled down Lu Shaoheng's forehead, but he still forcefully grabbed onto Baili Kuangxue's hand, guarding against her.
"Save you." Kui Xue pushed his hand away and pierced the silver needle into his acupuncture point, "You can't die yet."
The silver needle pierced into the acupoint, Lu Shaoheng only felt that the woman's figure gradually became hazy, and was eventually replaced by darkness.
At dusk, the sweet snow of a hundred li had returned to the Prime Minister's Estate alone. She had just entered the door of the Prime Minister's Estate when she was stopped by Xie Zimo.
He grabbed her by the arms angrily and scolded, "Do you know what you did today? If that assassin's blade does not stop, you will lose your life! "
"The Prime Minister is rather well-informed." "I want to rest," she said. "Prime Minister, let go of me."
Xie Zimo was stunned, the hand holding her arms drooped down powerlessly. He looked at her as she brushed past him, and he felt a little disappointed. He wanted to kill her, but she wanted to save him. Why?
Xie Zimo punched the door, but suddenly coughed out a mouthful of blood. He turned and disappeared behind the door...
By that time, Lin Xuan had already found Lu Shaoheng and brought him back to the palace. By the time the imperial physicians arrived, Lu Shaoheng was already awake. Since there were no major problems, he ordered the imperial physicians to leave.
"Lin Xuan, go get the painter." As Lu Shaoheng spoke, Lin Xuan cupped his hands in a bow and retreated.
After Lin Xuan left his sleeping quarters, he felt unwell, so he first went to the imperial pharmacy to get some medicine to treat his internal injuries. Just as he walked over to the pharmacy, he saw an alchemist playing with a wasp.
"What are you doing?" Lin Xuan walked over and watched the young pharmacist interact with the wasp while frying the medicine.
Xiao Kong was startled and hastily made a gesture to chase the wasp away. He turned his head and said with a smile, "I was oiling the empress dowager's medicine. Just now, a wasp flew in. I was afraid it would sting me, so I didn't dare to move recklessly."
Lin Xuan didn't say anything else. Xiao Kong hurriedly poured the medicine and brought it to the empress dowager's palace.
Normally, when the Empress dowager drank the medicine, Xiao Kong would stand outside the pearl curtain and wait. Today, the sound of porcelain falling came from behind the bead curtain.
Xiao Kong could not help but frown. Lu Zixu told him to add a medicine to the medicinal food, was it poisonous?
"All of you leave, the pharmacist will stay behind." The empress dowager ordered all the palace maids in the palace to withdraw.
The bead curtain was opened, revealing a blue phoenix striped dress. When Xiao Kong raised his head, he saw that the woman in front of him was wearing a phoenix crown. She walked up to him, expectation in her eyes. "Is Zixu okay?" she asked.
Xiao Kong was stunned, not knowing how to reply.
"Zixu once said that if there was an extra herb in the medicine, he would definitely come looking for me." Her Majesty's smile was a little sad. "This is a promise between us. I didn't expect that twenty years would pass in the blink of an eye."
Xiao Kong was confused, confused about the relationship between his master and the empress dowager, as well as the relationship between his master and the people in the palace.
The empress dowager took a deep breath. From Little Kong's reaction, she knew that he knew nothing.
Lu Zixu was so cautious. Still, it was enough that he was still alive.
After a long while, the empress dowager spoke up. "Help me pass on a sentence …"
Xiao Kong walked out of the empress dowager's chamber and summoned a wasp. His lips moved, and after a while, the wasp flew away, flying towards where the sweet snow was.
When she heard the flapping of the wasp's wings, she slowly opened her eyes and tried to open the window sill. But when she opened her eyes, she saw a face very close to her. She suddenly woke up, but before she could even react, Xie Zimo had already forcefully kissed her.
He took his lips and bit them hard, forcing her to open her mouth in pain. When she opened her mouth, a stream of dew flowed through. In order to prevent her vomiting, Xie Zimo pulled his arm around her waist, forcing her to swallow.
"Cough cough, what is it?" Kui Xue coughed a few times, and forcefully pushed Xie Zimo away. Was he a ghost? Anyone who entered would feel as if they had no feet and would not make a sound.
"You dared to save another man yesterday, are you still worried that I fed you anything today?" Xie Zimo licked the beauty's fragrance from the corner of his lips, appreciating the beauty's beauty with great interest. He sneered, hooked his finger under her chin. "How's the poison?"
"You!" Kui Xue fiercely glared at Xie Zimo, and before she could finish her sentence, the dizziness that came from her head had already caused her to fall into Xie Zimo's arms.
Xie Zimo embraced the person in his arms, smiled, and carried her away.
