Only when Shangguan Wan had repeatedly assured him that it wasn't a matter of life and death, but the urgent need for blood, did she finally let go of her hand with a dubious heart. From this, it could be seen that she was deeply in love with him.
After that, Shangguan Wan took out a small bottle filled with blood and a brush, "drawing blood" everywhere.
Qiao Xin followed behind, feeling depressed. She wanted to ask for the reason, but her master had told her that a good servant would not talk too much.
Shangguan Wan busied herself for four hours, but she couldn't even find a trace of the Salt Spring Wood, which made her a bit discouraged.
"Ah, the palace is so big, and there is so much wood. How long will it take for me to find it? "I'm afraid that even if the Salty Spring Wood was not found, I would have already died from all the blood that I had shed. Awhoo..."
Shangguan Wan hastily got up from the steps, looking at the yellow-robed Nangong Yu, she said in an unfriendly tone, "What tornado did it bring your majesty here?"
She was so exquisite that even the maids present spat out blood when they heard her words. With the Empress's attitude, it would be very difficult for her to obtain a Holy Pet.
Nangong Yu had never seen a woman who didn't know how to please him. It had to be known that ever since he was born, the people around him had always been flattering him, regardless of gender or age.
Only she was an exception. Nangong Yu couldn't help but suspect that she wasn't human.
"What happened to your hand?" Nangong Yu stepped forward and pinched her wrist, his long and slender eyes staring at the bandage on her hand.
In the end, the emperor was still worried about the Empress. This was a good omen.
"I'm fine." Shangguan Wan tried to break free from his restraints, but she was a woman after all. Her strength was not as strong as a man's, and it was futile.
Nangong Yu laughed in disdain, "Don't tell me you want to commit suicide because you can't get my favor?"
Shangguan Wan's pretty face was filled with despair. She had seen shameless people before, but this was the first time she had seen someone as shameless as him.
"Your Majesty, as the Empress, chenqie has deep doubts regarding your intelligence." The so-called newborn calf was not afraid of tigers. A wild fox that did not understand the complicated rules of the palace.
Nangong Yu almost fainted from anger. Was this woman really the princess of Nan Yan? He didn't have any manners at all, but he was more like a shrew.
"Quick, dress yourself and follow me to see the empress dowager." Nangong Yu changed the topic and let go of her wrist, disgust written all over his face.
He would still have a long life ahead of him. As a man, he wouldn't be so quick to show off.
Shangguan Wan wore a phoenix coronet and ceremonial robes as she left the palace along with Nangong Yu.
On the way, the two of them were speechless.
A certain woman couldn't help but complain in her heart. It wasn't that she was complaining about the emperor beside her, but rather that the cute girl was actually putting on such clothes that prevented her from walking. Every step she took, she would step on the dress in front of her.
Nangong Yu despised this clumsy and clumsy girl, so he was even more certain that this woman was definitely not Shangguan Wan, a dignified princess. How come he couldn't even control his proper clothes like this?
The clothes were too long, Shangguan Wan really wanted to use some magic to make her skirt shorter, but wouldn't this tell the emperor that she was a demoness? She couldn't reveal her identity until she found the Arrowhead tree.
Endure, continue to endure. In this world, success was not an easy task.
Endure a knife on the head, this, will have to face the emperor's tit for tat.
"Shangguan Wan, your skill at seducing people isn't much." Nangong Yu supported Shangguan Wan as he coldly spoke, his eyes drooping to conceal his displeasure.
She quickly withdrew from his embrace and steadied herself before opening her mouth leisurely, "It's just that I accidentally stepped on a rock that caused me to fall."
"Arguing." Nangong Yu held his hands behind his back as he walked forwards, saying, "When we arrive at the Thousand Longevity Palace, say what you need to say, and don't say what you shouldn't. Remember this well."
His tone was arrogant and did not put others in his eyes. This was the attitude of a sovereign.
Shangguan Wan curled her lips and replied contemptuously, "Please forgive chenqie's stupidity. Chenqie really doesn't know what to say and what not to say. Please explain, Your Majesty."
Pretending to be obedient was an essential ability of a fox spirit. It was just that her current level was not high enough, so she was lacking something.
Nangong Yu turned his head, only to see her looking at him with bright eyes and white teeth as he opened his mouth and laughed.
"If the Empress asked you where the wound in your hand came from, how would you answer?"
"Of course I'm answering truthfully." Shangguan Wan did not hesitate.
"Honest? "Which is the truth?" "Say, you don't want to be lonely and only wish to die?"
"Your majesty, I'm really not asking to die. I swear to the heavens!"
Just as he finished speaking, there was a sudden clap of thunder in the sky.
"Look, a woman who lies, even the heavens can't bear to see it." Nangong Yu even had the qualifications to be proud. His judgement had never been wrong before.
Shangguan Wan felt that it was even more injustice than Dou Er, why did the thunder suddenly appear out of nowhere? Could it be that he was really enduring the anger by borrowing the corpse?
Calm, unperturbed. In his entire life, he had never heard of a fox spirit being struck to death by lightning.
After a loud commotion along the way, the pair of enemies arrived at the entrance of the Longevity Palace.
The empress dowager's personal maid, Senior Servant Jing, invited the empress and empress in.
"Your majesty, esteemed empress dowager, the empress dowager's changing, she'll be out soon."
"Yes." Nangong Yu grabbed Shangguan Wan's hand and calmly stepped into the main hall.
It was necessary to pretend, even if the woman was reluctant.
