”Did you find out where she was hiding?”
Empress Situ suddenly opened her eyes and asked Bai Zhixi.
Now that she knew that the blood bead was with her, as long as she was captured and tortured, she did not believe that a little girl could endure it.
Now that the destined Queen Shangguan Jingyan and the hundred years old blood bead had disappeared, they would definitely be able to unify the world.
”Prime Minister's Estate, that old bastard, is actually this powerful? He has strangled all of the people we sent, leaving no one alive. Therefore, we still do not know where Bai Zhixi is. ”
Uncle Situ glanced at his little sister, his cold eyes flashing with a trace of fear. He knew that his little sister's ambition wasn't in the Eastern Prefecture, but the world.
He had always been extremely cautious and obedient. Now that he had lost Bai Zhixi, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to escape her wrath!
”What?” He actually died? Are all the people you raise a rice bucket? If you can't even handle a mere old man, when will you finish my big plan? ”
As expected, when Empress Situ heard his words, she angrily flung the ornament on the table onto the ground.
As he looked down at his Uncle Situ Guo lying on the ground, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.
Trash, all trash!
If that person knew about Xi Liang, he would definitely be one step ahead. If she were to dominate the world in the future, would he still be able to survive?
She must get ahead of her!
”Empress, please forgive me. This old subject will definitely think of a way to find Bai Zhixi's whereabouts.”
Uncle Situ kowtowed nonstop, completely forgetting that he was also the empress's older brother. The empress definitely wouldn't kill him.
”Scram!”
Situ Lan flung her sleeves as she tried her best to calm herself down, but she was still unable to stop the raging flames in her heart.
As Uncle Situ heard this, he hurriedly crawled up and fled. Every time he failed, he would experience a roar like this, but he had no choice but to lower his head.
It is said that Jun Mohan has a treasure map in his hands. This treasure cannot be dropped in other countries, otherwise it will be very disadvantageous to us. In the future, we still need this treasure to stabilize our lands. ”
Just as Uncle Situ walked to the door, hearing Situ Lan's words, he seemed to remember that there was such a rumor.
But whether or not it was true, Jun Mohan could not live in this world.
Without him, Dongfang Yao could only marry her own son and marry him. They would be like a family, killing two birds with one stone. Presumably, the empress would agree as well.
Furthermore, the Princess of the Northern Frontier was said to come to the Eastern Prefecture to find a prince consort. Naturally, it was impossible for the Crown Prince.
Other than the Fourth Prince, there was only Jun Mohan. He could not allow the Princess of Northern Frontier's team to join one of them, as it would be disadvantageous to the Crown Prince.
Therefore, only the dead can forever not fight for it, quietly at the mercy of others.
”Yes sir!”
After Uncle Situ said this, he walked out of the Imperial Palace without looking back.
At the same time, within the empress dowager's palace, the empress dowager was sitting on a soft chair, reading a Buddhist scripture. The palace maid carefully handed over a piece of paper wrapped in black cloth.
Immediately after, the empress dowager looked at the contents on the paper and the corners of her lips curled up into a cold smile. She was determined to win.
”Bai Zhixi, you are indeed a chosen one of the ancestors of the Bai Family. Since you have the blood bead on you, then you can only blame your bad luck.
After the Empress Dowager finished speaking, her eyes suddenly grew cold. She walked over to the candlestick and burned the letter to the last drop.
With a wave of her hand towards the palace maid, the palace maid tacitly put on a thin cloak, then carefully walked towards the direction of the Cold Palace with a lantern in hand. In the blink of an eye, she disappeared into the silvery moonlight.
Two days later, in the early morning, the first ray of sunlight passed through the layers of willow trees and shone on the face of the girl curled up on the bed. She seemed unaccustomed to the sunlight as she rubbed her eyes tiredly and walked towards the door with hazy, sleepy eyes.
Bai Zhixi, why are you so useless? Aren't you just a man? What's the big deal? Wasn't this the first time he was dumped by a man?
She stood in the doorway, shielding her eyes from the glare of the sun. She felt as strange to this world as she had when she first arrived here.
Afterwards, she jogged around the courtyard. The past was just a dream. Even if she woke up from the dream, she still had to continue living. She would not allow herself to fall to such a level.
When Lu Tan and Zi Li returned, they saw Bai Zhixi running by himself in the courtyard.
Their young lady was back.
”Zi Li, prepare yourself. Tomorrow, we will depart to the Xi Liang to save Lan Yi.”
After a casual wash, the master and his servant sat around the table as they ate breakfast.
Now that he knew where Lan Yi was imprisoned, he had to rescue her. How was that girl right now? But someone had tortured her.
Zi Li and Lu Tan heard this and their hearts trembled. They looked at Bai Zhixi at the same time and pursed their lips, not saying a word.
”What's wrong?”
Seeing their expressions, with a ”Pa” sound, Bai Zhixi threw the chopsticks on the table. Could it be that Lan Yi had already been torn to shreds?
”Miss, this Ice Shrouding Snow Pavilion is very magical. Zi Li and I have searched for two days, but we still have not found the way out. This place was set up by the old general, and after he brought the food over every day, he disappeared. Zi Li and I chased after him a few times but we didn't succeed. Therefore, it will be very difficult for us to find Lan Yi. ”
As she spoke, her black and white eyes were clear, like those of a deer. They carried a bit of a rogue, but also a bit of anger.
