C188 (2/2)

Lin Shuxuan looked at the medicinal juice coming closer and closer. Fear was written all over her gentle face as she sat on the ground and retreated step by step.

The next moment, she was captured by a group of palace maids. The bitter and unpleasant medicinal smell instantly filled her entire mouth and nose.

She had seen this type of medicinal juice before, and it was the one Ye Shishuang gave to Empress Xu to drink.

She personally watched Empress Xu live and die three months later, as if she were an old man in her seventies, the skin on her body peeling off bit by bit until only a pile of bones remained.

”Little sister, saying this is hurting my heart. Your madness is getting worse. You're talking nonsense. I have already sent a letter to the marquis, telling him to protect his Xi Liang with peace of mind and that I will definitely heal you. ”

Ye Shixue squatted down, pinched her lower jaw and spoke slowly.

The meaning behind her words was that if Lin Shuxuan did not obediently cooperate with her to capture Jun Mohan, then she would still have her younger brother and father at the border.

Hearing that, fear flashed across Lin Shuxuan's pitch black eyes as she shook her head at Ye Shishuang, her eyes filled with determination as she nodded her head again.

Ye Shishuang had indeed grasped onto my weak spot. Compared to someone who wasn't blood related at all, she naturally didn't want her family members to be harmed.

”Serve esteemed wangfei well and spread the news that she's very ill. It's time for us to put away the net.”

As long as he took the map in his hand, Bai Zhixi would be attracted to it.

After Ye Shishuang left, Lin Shuxuan softly fell to the ground.

She suddenly felt regret. Why did he have to wade in this muddy water, causing Qing Er to leave her side, causing her family to be affected.

She knew that Empress Ye was vicious and merciless, so when that person came last night, he should have handed him over to her instead of handing over the map in her hands to her.

Ten years ago, when Jun Mohan, who was eight years old, first came to the Xi Liang, she was already deeply loved by Qing'er, who was five years old, and ran over to her and vowed to marry him when he grew up.

When she saw Jun Mohan, she only felt that this child had provoked love, so she let them play together.

Unexpectedly, the two children found out about the empress and state advisor, and were chased to the Lotus Pond Pavilion by the state advisor.

When she arrived with the warriors from the Dinghou Estate, the two of them were forced to the edge of the pond. The situation was precarious.

She steeled her heart and ordered the deathsworn to help Jun Mohan block that deadly palm strike, and just like that, her daughter Qing Er was separated from her Yin and Yang.

The map that Jun Mohan had obtained from the state advisor was also handed to her. Jun Mohan told her that this was something that her daughter had obtained with her life on the line, and it should be left in her custody.

This time around, ten years had passed.

In these ten years, Empress Ye and state advisor had openly and secretly searched her chambers and also probed her, attempting to find out the location of the map from her mouth.

Ever since Jun Mohan had been infected by the state advisor, he had not stepped into the State of Xi Liang, and Empress Ye and state advisor had even thought that the map was in their clan's Duke Palace.

Therefore, Jun Mohan had grown up in these past few years under the torture and assassination methods of the insect poison.

Memories of the past replayed in her head again and again. She laughed at herself for being a fool who had lived half a life for others. It was time for her to live again.

”Someone, bring this to High Lord Demon Destroyer. I think he will understand.”

Lin Shuxuan's gentle expression had long since disappeared, and a sinister ruthlessness had replaced it.

She handed the blood-covered handkerchief to the man who emerged from the darkness, and her voice was calm as she commanded him.

Jun Mohan, don't blame me. You are a person who is about to die anyway, so there is no point in leaving the map with you. As for me, the lives of a few hundred people are on me, so I must protect the existence of the House of Northern D.

At the same time, thick candlesticks burned with a ”pfft pfft pfft” within the Southern Frontier palace, brightly lit.

Bai Zhixi sat in front of the table, staring at the stack of memorials that was taller than her, frowning like a small mountain, as though he had nothing to live for.

She must have been the first princess in history, she thought, and the only person in history to have been suppressed by the Prime Minister.

The days in the palace were much more difficult than she had imagined, not only because she was alone in the palace without help, but also because she was tired and haggard in the face of the incisive questions from all the civil and military officials.

No wonder Nangong Xuan had disguised himself to look like a playboy in order to avoid the assassination attempts, as well as the trouble of the officials.

”Miss, Miss Bei is here!”

Bai Zhixi was lying on the table sleeping soundly when he heard Zi Li's voice.

Lifting his head, he saw Nangong Xuan, dressed in a woman's attire, biting her lips, with a standard lady's appearance, quietly standing behind them.
