It was almost dusk, and the sky was covered with colorful, muslin like clouds. Looking through the sunset, the Zuo Mansion at the foot of the mountain was surrounded by mountains, like a piece of red jade embedded in a furry green area.

On Zuo Mansion, the grand wedding was still ongoing, the living room after the departure of the Son of Heaven was even more lively. The guests were chatting and raising their cups, like a shadow play, as the warm light shone through the paper windows.

Hey, sit over there.

The man dozing outside the carriage was awakened by a sudden question. Upon seeing who it was, he quickly jumped down from the carriage and hurriedly bowed to the fat man dressed in the official uniform in front of him.

Yours Truly has some matters to take care of. Since you're lacking people, come over here with Yours Truly.

The man was in a bit of a dilemma. However, my master had instructed me that I am not to leave without permission before clearing the place …

The fat man suddenly revealed a vicious expression as he raised his fist and walked forward, roaring in an aggressive manner, If I tell you to come over, then come over! Where did all this nonsense come from! Do you not know my identity? Or do you want me to report it to your master, eh?

The man was so scared that his face turned white. No, no, no. Master, please wait a moment. He quickly ran back to the carriage.

Heh.

The man who was addressed as' Master 'looked at the retreating figure in a panic. He put his hands behind his back as he chuckled. A look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

Steward Feng bade farewell to the guest room where Emperor Xun was resting. He quickly turned around and walked out of the corridor with large strides. The man frowned. He ordered the two of you, split up and look for the Consort Xiao. Once I find out where the Consort Xiao is, report to me immediately.

Yes!

The clouds were high and the sky was tranquil. Steward Feng who was searching for someone in the Zuo Mansion had a grave expression on his face as he walked, stroking his chin while pondering. For some reason, his intuition told him that this Empress was hiding from him. Not only were they not willing to get along with him, they had even intentionally angered the Emperor Xun. Even though they had obviously shown their faces in front of everyone, they still found an excuse to cover their faces with blankets and escape.

If not for the fact that Zuo Yueshang wanted to take this opportunity to investigate Consort Xiao personally, he would have stayed in the palace and continued to manage the affairs of the Inner Palace. The talisman paper that was filled with mysterious symbols that he got from Master Xuanyang was said to have the ability to communicate with spirits. Suddenly, a strange light shone on the night before Zuo Yueshang's big wedding and started to revolve around the room's beams without end. He was shocked, and felt an indescribable unease in his heart.

While walking, a shadow suddenly brushed past him, without even bothering to lower his head, he left hastily. A strange feeling welled up from the bottom of Steward Feng's heart, he immediately stopped and turned back, ordering, those over there, please halt.

It was a plump man, short and plain, dressed in a neat, dark, smoke-colored official uniform and wearing the hat of a seventh rank official. Manager Feng walked over with his hands behind his back. His hawk eyes swept across the man's face. "Where are you from?" Why did you make this tube look so familiar?

The eyes of the man being questioned flickered erratically as he repeatedly nodded his head and bowed. He had just taken up his post and was a County Magistrate of a certain county in Cyan Longevity City … I heard that the Great General of the Left set up a feast with the Son of Heaven present. He was just a country bumpkin, not well-known by the adults, so he wanted to join in on the fun and broaden his horizons.

Steward Feng carefully observed the man's expression. Although he was a bit timid, he was unable to find any words or mistakes, so he took the opportunity to ask a question. Have you seen a woman dressed in luxurious clothing running away with a blanket over her face?

Ah!" This little one has seen it before!

Steward Feng was startled, half believing and half doubting, where did she go?

Master, I just came back from walking in the back garden and saw a woman who looked like you described. She was crying as she walked in the direction of the garden. The fat man added that he was barefoot.

That's it.

The Steward Feng nodded and turned to leave. He did not forget to give a warning, not to reveal anyone, about the contents of my conversation with you today.

The fat man still had that silly look on his face. Yes, yes, this little one will remember that!

Steward Feng hastened his footsteps and walked towards the garden behind Zuo Mansion. As he walked, he suddenly recalled a small detail — this man's clothes were stained with a dark red substance. At first glance, he thought it was blood. Had something happened while walking in the back garden, or had he simply been thinking too much?

The Level 7 County Official stood where he was, watching Steward Feng's figure gradually disappear into the distance, finally disappearing around the corner. The smiling expression on his chubby face disappeared in an instant. He rolled his eyes and spat contemptuously. What a well-thought-out Steward Feng, even if I have to care about it after I turn into a man, I don't need to eat properly!

He touched his chest, feeling that his heartbeat had returned to normal. He then touched his face, which had transformed into a man's skin, which was full of elasticity. He stretched his arms and kicked his legs, feeling the warm flow of human blood through his veins … Xiao He could not help but raise his arms and shout. If I were to meet a Soul Power User, it would be like icing on the cake for me, eating ordinary people to protect my youth, eating Soul Power User … Increase soul power!

continued to act like a fat official as he ambled through the huge backyard of the Zuo Mansion, looking for the 'prey' that was showing signs of his soul power surging.

Isn't that the Third Princess Shang Yue's personal servant?

As he was looking around in boredom, he raised his head and discovered that the window of one of the rooms was open. Standing in the distance, he could see a man with dark skin and a scarf tied around his head walking around the room. Xiao He still vividly remembered that pair of cold, peach blossom eyes. Tsk, tsk, poor fellow. With a smirk on his face, he was eager to give it a try. Sigh, how could I have forgotten … Third Princess Shang Yue's personal servant, was a young Soul Power User with the highest level of Hong Huang Kingdom …

Little darling, since serving the master has worked so hard, let me help you get out of this predicament.

He licked his lips. Just as he was about to stealthily sneak over, the tip of his foot had left the ground. Suddenly, a green light flashed and his body lost all its weight.

He heavily fell to the ground, his vision buzzing —! After a round of dizziness, as the world spun around him, a dazed and soft female voice resounded in his mind … "Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu!"

"Ugh …" How long have I been asleep...

Before Xiao He could react, a strong, howling smell, like an angry iron fist struck on both sides of his head. In that instant, his heart and hands froze, unable to muster any strength. With a plop, he kneeled on the ground and opened his mouth! He spat out a large mouthful of blood.

Xiao He's eyes were wide open as he looked at his own palm in disbelief. Shaw...

Shang Yue who was in the house raised her head and asked the servant who was making the tea, Jin Mo, what was going on outside?

Jin Mo raised his head and looked out of the window. He did not stop what he was doing and returned to his Consort Xiao.

Xiao Zhihe opened her eyes and realized that she was barefoot in an unfamiliar courtyard surrounded by lush greenery. There was a vermilion pathway in front of her, and she lowered her head to pull her clothes to look around. She subconsciously muttered to herself, Peach Blossom Powder … This is the Peach Blossom pink skirt Zi Ling gave me.

Then I should have been at that time...

Consort Xiao has finally found you.

A voice that did not carry any warmth suddenly came out from behind him, scaring Xiao Zhihe out of her wits. Who was it?

Steward Feng stood behind the woman silently with her hands behind her back. Seeing the woman turn around, and seeing her frightened face, the doubt in her heart grew even stronger. "Empress …" Didn't you go to the back garden? Why did he suddenly appear here?

Xiao Zhihe's thoughts were in a mess, she knew that she had been unconscious for a long time this time around, and it might have been more than ten days since the outside world started … No, judging from the fact that she was not in the palace at the moment, it might have been several months!

She smiled up slightly. The back garden...? Ah, well, yes! I went to the back garden to relax, I don't remember the way back... So right now, he should be lost …

The man with the tall gray hat and long black gloves and white boots, with a cold expression, narrowed his eyes. So that was how it was. Then I ask the Empress to come with me. His Majesty was still waiting for you to return, so he asked this lowly official to escort you back.

Just as Xiao Zhihe took a step forward, she felt a stabbing pain in her foot, and when she looked down, she realized that she was not wearing shoes. Her feet were as black as coal. Looking at the well-dressed man in front of him, he felt a little embarrassed as he awkwardly smiled. 'Then, I'll have to trouble you …'

Shang Yue lazily leaned on the window, silently observing the distant Steward Feng and Xiao Zhihe's figures disappearing in the distance. The red-lipped woman with a flirtatious expression frowned, what was going on with this baffling concubine? He actually ran out wearing only a nightgown. Disgraceful!

Who knew what kind of medicine Emperor Xun ate wrong, to actually make that kind of woman his concubine.

A pair of strong arms came up from the woman's back and gently rubbed the thin skin on her neck with rough fingertips. Isn't that perfect?

With his chestnut red short hair, the sky blue exotic silk belt tied to his forehead, the cynical looking man stuck to the tip of his woman's ear and exhaled a breath of air. This showed that Emperor Xun was also starting to lose consciousness. 'Yue Er, isn't this our best chance? '

When I am emperor, I will make you queen.

Yue Er, do you know how much I missed you in the days when I was sent to the Southern Wilderness?

Shang Yue laid quietly on the man's chest, listening to the vigorous heartbeat beside his ears, one after another, warm yet powerful. She spoke hoarsely, her lips parted on the man's body, bewitching. Dabu, you have to keep your promise to me.

Jeddab stroked the woman's head of soft black hair and laughed out loud with her bright white teeth. "Look at you, anxious …" What a spoiled kitten. He thrust his big palm into the woman's half-open chest, ravaging the slippery, knife-carved features with a lustful silence. Didn't I promise you that? You still don't believe me? Rest assured … I will definitely help you take Chaxianyu's life. Because everything I've done, it was all for you.

The woman moaned, instantly arousing the desire in the man's heart. You have to promise me that everything that belongs to you belongs to me. The man rolled onto his back and sat on the woman's waist, breathing heavily as he took off his clothes one by one.

Jin Mo didn't react at all to the lively and fragrant scene before him. Since his master didn't order him to go out, he just stood quietly in the middle of the room and cleaned up the tea set. His pale fingertip was methodical, flowing with standard tea procedures: pouring the tea, cleaning the brush, bringing back the seeds, wiping the teacups. Despite the fact that the woman's delicate breathing and the man's screams gradually reverberated through the entire room, he remained expressionless, as though he was a puppet without sight or hearing.

The youth stood up straight and turned a deaf ear to his words. On her delicate face, her beautiful peach blossom eyes were unfathomably deep, like a pool of stagnant water.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

There were three rapid knocks on the door consecutively, the two people who were just getting excited were disturbed, Shang Yue who had disheveled hair covered by her hands sat up in anger, Jin Mo! Go and see which bastard it is!

Yes, Your Highness.

Jin Mo walked over quickly. He opened the door a crack and asked coldly, "What is it?"

The person was dressed like a servant and was running around with a head full of sweat. His voice was trembling and crying, "Is His Highness Jeddab here?" Coachman... Lord Jeddab's coachman was eaten!
