"You know about Nine-eyed Heaven Bead? On you? " The Prime Minister asked excitedly as he held onto Xue Moyun's chin so tightly that his nails almost dug into her flesh.
But Xue Moyun did not speak anymore.
"Search!" the Prime Minister ordered, taking two steps back.
Right after he finished speaking, Bai Zhang immediately walked forward and touched all over Xue Moyun's body. Not a single corner was left unscathed. Xue Moyun held his breath and withdrew his lower abdomen as much as he could, afraid that Bai Zhang would notice anything amiss.
"Master, no." Bai Zhang carefully searched through Xue Moyun's body from top to bottom, but he still did not find the so-called Nine-eyed Heaven Bead.
Hearing Bai Zhang's reply, the Prime Minister was immediately enraged, and a sense of shame from being teased filled her heart. He walked up and gave Xue Moyun another two tight slaps across his face, directly smacking him in the face. Xue Moyun suddenly felt dizzy, he could not even see her clearly.
She was humiliated, and suddenly let out an "ah" sound and struggled. She wanted to resist, but she was firmly suppressed by more than ten guards. If Xue Moyun used all his strength, he would definitely be able to struggle free. However, with such strength, the child inside would definitely be injured. Xue Moyun didn't know how long she could stay in this world, but she had to ensure that this child was born safe and sound.
Moreover, there were strict security inside, and there was still a long way to go to escape from the bamboo forest. Xue Moyun was afraid that if he attacked with martial arts, he would harm his children, so he had to endure and allow them to insult him.
In the distance, a figure couldn't bear to see Xue Moyun like that, so he quickly went to report.
"How dare you tease me like that? I'll send you to see your mother right now."
The Prime Minister was absolutely furious.
"Although that Nine-eyed Heaven Bead is a pearl, it is jade-like yet jade-like. It looks like it is not made of stone, but it is also as tough as steel. Warm and gentle, seemingly transparent, the actual color changes with the light, showing a variety of colors in a single day. There is a dragon pattern on it and nine pearls on it, so it is called the Nine-eyed Heaven Bead. "
Seeing the Prime Minister coming over with a blade, Xue Moyun was not afraid at all as he slowly spoke these words.
The Prime Minister's footsteps slowed down once again. After pondering for a moment, he was worried that he would be toyed with by Xue Moyun again, so he laughed loudly and said, "Your mother has seen the Sky Pearl before. It wouldn't be strange if she could tell you the shape. It does not mean that you have a Heavenly Jewel. "
"The Heavenly Jewels are sacred objects used as sacrifices during the ancient era, and they are used to calcinate the ancestor every year. As such, the true Heavenly Jewels are actually imperfect, and because of the frequent calcination, they crack when placed under the sun." Xue Moyun sneered, and continued speaking.
This time, the Prime Minister was totally stunned. Only someone who had seen the characteristics of the Heavenly Jewels would be able to understand it so well.
Although Xue Moyun's mother had possessed the Heavenly Jewel and claimed that it was her father who had given her the dowry, in reality, it was she who had stolen it from her father. So if you look at the pattern on the surface of the shape of these things may be clear. However, if one were to mention the minute characteristics of this Heavenly Jewel, she might not even know it.
"How do you know so much?" The Prime Minister asked as he gestured for the guards to let go of Xue Moyun and squatted down.
It had been so many years, and there was not a single day when he had not dreamed of being able to take back his Heavenly Jewels.
This was also the reason why he insisted on supporting Mu Lingfeng and wanted to pull the Emperor down from his dragon throne. He wanted to regain control of the world, to gather all the power and wealth in his possession of the world's most precious treasure.
After Xue Moyun was let go, he coughed out a few mouthfuls of blood. She elegantly took out a brocade handkerchief from her sleeve, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and calmly sat down. Although his face was red and swollen, with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth and a pale complexion, the stubbornness in his eyes and the calmness that seeped out from the depths of his bones caused others to have no choice but to admire him.
"Naturally, it is because I am the owner of this Heavenly Jewel. That day, the Emperor returned the pearl to Mother. After Mother passed away, my father took care of it, then he was demoted and gave the pearl to me. " Xue Moyun said indifferently.
"Quickly hand over the Heavenly Jewels!" the Prime Minister pressed her.
"My fame was like the clouds in the sky. Originally, I did not have much excessive expectations for status and authority, so I handed the pearl over to Mu Ying and had him keep it for me. That day when you mentioned it, I thought that it might be able to save my life. " Xue Moyun said indifferently as he fiddled with his fingernails.
"You!" The Prime Minister was so angry that he couldn't speak after being mocked by her.
"Since this item is no longer with you, how can I guarantee your safety?" The Prime Minister glared fiercely at Xue Moyun.
"When I told him to keep it, I already made an agreement with him: If anyone other than me wanted to take the bead away, they wouldn't be able to. The bead could only be given to me, and then I would take care of it myself." Xue Moyun lied.
"You all know Mu Ying's capabilities and position. Forget about you guys not catching him at all, even if you did, with Mu Ying's unyielding personality, he definitely wouldn't have broken our promise back then. Furthermore, if you kill me, you will never be able to catch a single glimpse of the Nine-eyed Heaven Bead in your life. "
Xue Moyun stood up after fiddling with his nails, stretching lazily as if he was about to rest.
"Hmph, I'll kill you first, then capture Mu Ying and force him to reveal the whereabouts of the Heavenly Jewel." The Prime Minister threatened.
"Sure, it's up to you." In any case, only Mu Ying knew where the pearl was, and only I could get it from him. If you don't believe me, you can give it a try. "
Seeing Xue Moyun being so arrogant, the Prime Minister did not know what to do with her, but he was toying with her, so the Prime Minister could not take this lying down.
He looked at him in the eyes, and Bai Zhang immediately walked forward and kicked him in the back. Unexpectedly, Xue Moyun fell forward from this kick and crashed to the ground.
Just as she was about to crawl back up, Bai Zhang took a few steps forward and fiercely stepped on Xue Moyun's back. She had been jealous of Xue Moyun being taken care of for a long time now. This time, she would take this opportunity to properly teach Xue Moyun a lesson.
"It's true that I can't kill you right now, but I can slowly torture you until I catch Mu Ying and obtain the Heavenly Jewels before sending you to heaven." The Prime Minister laughed and walked away.
The remaining matters were naturally left to Bai Zhang to handle, and after fiercely kicking Xue Moyun for a long time, she finally vented her anger. In order to protect the baby inside the palace, Xue Moyun had been curling his body tightly all this time, trying his best to not let the child get hurt. Finally, she couldn't take it anymore and fainted.
"Hmph, since the Prime Minister has handed you over to me to deal with, I'll make a fool of you now and see how you'll seduce Lord Min Han in the future." Bai Zhang took out his blade with a sinister smile, and started to draw on Xue Moyun's face.
"You didn't have much ability in the first place, but you relied on your face to make the lord pay so much attention to you." You are also handsome and elegant, so how could you ordinary people be worthy of you? Only I, am qualified to stand with you, Sir, and only I am fit to be his woman! "
Bai Zhang shouted crazily and suddenly raised his short blade.
"Stop!" Just then, Minhan Changyang suddenly rushed over and shouted for her to stop him.
Bai Zhang lifted her head and saw Minhan Changyang; she had come, and knew that he would definitely save Xue Moyun, so she pretended not to hear it. He steeled his heart and suddenly stabbed at Xue Moyun's face.
Seeing that the situation was bad, Minhan Changyang suddenly threw out the fan in his hand with all his might. When the blade was just a hair's breadth away from Xue Moyun's face, Bai Zhang's hand was broken in half.
Being struck so fiercely, Bai Zhang's wrist was in pain and the blade he was holding onto dropped.
After that, Minhan Changyang leaped, and came to Xue Moyun's side, and hugged Xue Moyun painfully. Bai Zhang wanted to step forward again, but the man beside Minhan Changyang stopped him.
Bai Zhang knew that it was no longer possible to hurt Xue Moyun and didn't dare to move forward.
"How are you, Lin Yun, Lin Yun?!" Wake up. " Minhan Changyang hugged Xue Moyun, his heart aching as he looked at her bruised body, his heart broken.
"It's all my fault. I was late. I said that I would protect you well, but I caused you to become like this." Minhan Changyang blamed himself, he carefully wiped the blood off the corner of her mouth and carried her to the bed to lie down.
"Quick, call the imperial physician!" Minhan Changyang growled angrily in a low voice, as he tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart.
"My lord, the Prime Minister said that she is a prisoner right now. It might not be appropriate for the imperial physician to treat her." Bai Zhang immediately went forward to stop him.
"Pah!" With a loud and clear sound, Bai Zhang was fiercely thrown out. It rolled into the courtyard before stopping.
She covered her face in disbelief. She never thought that Minhan Changyang would be so angry at her, and so angry at her.
Just as she was about to react, Minhan Changyang had leapt out and appeared in front of her.
"Is he concerned about himself?" At this time, Bai Zhang was still delusional enough to think that Minhan Changyang had feelings for her.
But in the next second, she woke up, because Minhan Changyang had already grabbed her neck and pressed her head down hard onto the ground. Bai Zhang had never seen him with such a sinister expression, it truly made people afraid.
"You are only a lowly slave who dares to block me time and time again. I have already tolerated it on behalf of my grandfather." But now, you actually dare to have such a heavy hand on Xue Moyun. If there's nothing wrong with her today, and something happens to her, I will use everything I have learned to torture you to death! "
Minhan Changyang said abnormal.
"Hurry up and get me a doctor!" Minhan Changyang flung Bai Zhang fiercely out, and berated the servants.
Everyone originally wanted to hesitate, but after seeing Bai Zhang's result, they quickly retreated and called for him.
"Lin Yun, Lin Yun, hold on! The imperial physician will be here soon. You must be alright. " Minhan Changyang walked over to the bedside and held Xue Moyun's hand tightly at his mouth, continuously puffing in hope of being able to give her warmth. His voice trembled as he looked at Xue Moyun uncontrollably, and from time to time, he would get up, ruthlessly smashing everything in the room to pieces to vent the displeasure in his heart.
