”So you are people from the Love Sea. No wonder the people from the witch church had their eyes on you that day.”
When Nangong Xuan was causing trouble for Situ Jie, he immediately ran over to the residences of the two girls that he had rescued.
It was only then that he realized why he had hidden his identity. However, he had been careless and had not discovered it.
Looking at the almost invisible dust on the window, Nangong Xuan muttered softly.
Not giving him time to think any further, he quickly flew towards the fourth floor. When he pushed open the door, he only saw a few figures disappearing into the night, leaving him with a cool silhouette. Lonely and Depression.
”Damn it, I was too late!”
With a slightly angry expression, he kicked the stool in front of him, causing it to fly out of the window. After a long while, he calmed the raging fire in his heart and lazily walked down the stairs.
At the same time, the ancestral manor was also surrounded by a group of soldiers, shocking the entire manor. Everyone's hearts were in a state of panic, and they were completely devoid of sleep.
The old prince angrily walked towards the door, wanting to see who had the guts to disturb Qing Meng.
”Greetings, old prince!”
As he opened the door, a deafening sound rang out.
When he raised his head, he saw Eunuch Lin standing in front of the empress dowager with a flattering look on his face. Looking at this man who was neither a man nor a woman, he waved his hands in disdain, gesturing for them to stand up.
Then, curses came out of his mouth.
”Lin, what are you doing? ”You can't sleep in the middle of the night. If you have nothing to eat, just come to my manor and disturb my sleep.”
Upon hearing this, a trace of anger flashed across Eunuch Lin's tiny eyes. He quickly lowered his head and bowed to him.
”Old Duke, this humble servant is under the orders of the official empress dowager, and I specially invited Prince Mo and Bai Zhixi who is a guest at the Duke's Palace to enter the palace. ”Esteemed Empress Dowager is in critical condition. Right now, they're the only two who can save her.”
Eunuch Lin's asexual voice resounded in the silent night, it was extremely terrifying.
”If you're not feeling well, hurry up and tell Imperial Physician Xuan! ”They're neither imperial physicians nor gangsters, what's the use of proclaiming that they're doctors?”
The old prince's eyes shone brightly as he stared at the palace, deep in thought.
”In reply to the old prince, Esteemed Empress Dowager said that since Prince Mo can restore Miss Bai's looks, there must be many good herbs to help her treat her illness that has been plaguing her for many years.”
Eunuch Lin answered in a soft voice, clearly telling them that if you could cure Bai Zhixi's ugly appearance since he was young, then if you do not agree, then wouldn't you look like a member of the imperial family? To challenge the might of the imperial family, would definitely not be something that could be explained in a few sentences.
When the old prince heard her words, his tiger-like eyes flickered. He didn't know what the empress dowager was planning. But thinking about her methods, she kept her mouth shut, and indicated maidservant to call Jun Mohan and Bai Zhixi.
If he didn't go tonight, it would be hard for him to pass the night in peace.
The door was instantly silent. He could hear the biting cold wind rustling the trees. It was so quiet that he could even hear the sound of leaves falling to the ground.
After a long while, both Bai Zhixi and Jun Mohan who were dressed in blue came out of their residence with sleepy faces. The Old Duke whispered a few words to them and then they were surrounded by the soldiers, and sat in a carriage specially prepared for them.
”Miss Bai, you really have the ability to kill the people from Southern Barbarian. Furthermore, the master behind the Love Sea has really broadened my horizons. ”
The carriage was silent and terrifyingly gloomy.
Jun Mohan's mocking tone broke the silence, he leaned on the window and looked at the calm Bai Zhixi.
When he heard the familiar singing coming from the fourth floor, he knew it was her. He just did not expect her to be the boss behind the Love Sea.
After Bai Zhixi heard his words, she remained silent and did not know how to explain what he meant.
When she sat upstairs and saw that Lan Yi and the others were almost killed by the people from the Southern Barbarian, she felt very agitated.
In the past, she would sometimes be silly, and sometimes she would be awake. But other than her personal maidservant, no one else knew about this matter.
Furthermore, she had photographic memory. She had memorized all the martial arts left behind by her mother and learned them in private. However, she didn't know whether it was the wrong method or the lack of guidance, but a faintly discernible wave of true energy was lingering in her body. This was also the reason for her inexplicable madness.
Ever since she established the Love Sea Restaurant, she had never revealed herself. Everything was managed by Chen Shuang, and many people were extremely curious about her, the boss behind the scenes.
But how did the previous Bai Zhixi know about modern design and the typical food?
This puzzled her.
”Prince Mo, we have arrived at the palace. Please get down from the carriage and proceed towards the Ci Ning Palace.”
Eunuch Lin's voice that sounded like a duck's was heard from outside the carriage, jolting Bai Zhixi awake from her shock. She had been thinking about the original voice the whole time, she didn't expect to arrive so soon.
As they walked on the dark stone road, the cold wind rustling the trees on both sides of the road, along with the slow crying of women, came the sounds of women, thinking about how, in the past, when watching TV, the emperors had not favored women, they would stay in the palace until their hair turned white, or they would go crazy, or they would die with unwillingness, turning into evil spirits floating in the cold and empty palace, lingering in their souls.
Bai Zhixi felt a chill crawl up his spine as a white figure floated past his eyes. ”Ah!”
”Miss Bai, don't be afraid. This is just one of the methods the palace maids used to attract the emperor's attention. There's no need to take it seriously.”
Eunuch Lin turned his head to look at her, trembling with fear as he spoke.
”I really don't know what those girls are thinking. It's such a pity to spend such good youth in such a cold and heartless place.”
Bai Zhixi dragged Jun Mohan and carefully walked forward, his mouth constantly mumbling.
