However, Funing Palace was empty. He searched every nook and cranny of the Baiyue Nation, but there was no trace of the Queen of the Baiyue Nation.
"Where is she?" Xiao Luo threw a questioning look at the mute maid beside him.
The mute maid shook her head, took out a piece of paper and a charcoal pencil, and wrote, "The Queen went to see the Grand Master."
Xiao Luo was furious. "If she went to see the Grand Master, then why did you bring me here? To see the decorations of Funing Palace? "
At that moment, he really wanted to slap the mute maid to death. He was looking for the Queen of the Baiyue Nation, not this damned palace.
The mute maid looked innocent and wrote on the paper, "Didn't you ask me to bring you to the Queen's palace?"
I ~! # ¥% …
Xiao Luo cursed in his heart. He felt like he had been fooled by the mute maid. He wanted to leave immediately, not wanting to be entangled with the mute maid.
The mute palace maid pulled on his sleeve and looked at him with a smile on her face.
"Stop bothering me. Let go!"
Xiao Luo was in a bad mood. This time, his tone was extremely cold, and his eyes were extremely frightening.
The mute maid shivered and took two or three steps back. It took her a while to recover. She wrote on the paper with a charcoal pencil, "Why are you looking for the Queen? Maybe I can help you. "
"Tears. I want her tears!" Xiao Luo said coldly.
The mute maid was stunned. She smiled and wrote, "The Queen collects her tears with the Holy Grail every time she cries. The Holy Grail is inside. I will get some for you."
After writing, she turned around and walked into the inner palace.
Huh?
This was beyond Xiao Luo's expectation. His goal was not to find the Queen of the Baiyue Nation, but to get the Queen's tears. Now that the mute maid said there was a stock of the Queen's tears, wouldn't that mean he could get it soon?
Not long after, the mute maid came out of the inner palace with a small and delicate elixir bottle in her hand. She presented it to Xiao Luo with both hands.
"Are these the tears of the Queen of the Baiyue Nation?" Xiao Luo was skeptical.
The mute palace maid smiled and nodded heavily. Then she wrote with a charcoal pencil, "Did you have a friend who accidentally ate the forbidden fruit?"
With the tear of the Queen of the Baiyue Nation in her hands, Xiao Luo's hostility toward her was greatly reduced. "Okay."
"Then hurry up and give it to your friend. If you wait for the fetus in her belly to take shape, she will have to take the abortion pill," the mute palace maid wrote.
Xiao Luo frowned and looked the mute palace maid up and down. He felt that she was not an ordinary palace maid. Otherwise, how could she know so much? He said, "Go and find some silver needles."
The mute palace maid was still half a beat slower. She looked at him in confusion.
"Forget it, I'll just use your hair."
Xiao Luo did not want to waste time looking for silver needles. He pulled out two strands of hair from the mute palace maid's head, broke them into several pieces, and infused them with True Inner Force. The strands of hair became as straight and sharp as silver needles. He then tapped on the acupuncture points on the mute palace maid's body. The mute palace maid stood there motionless, as if she had been petrified.
"You helped me find the tear of the Queen of the Baiyue Nation, and I will help you cure your illness. If I'm not mistaken, you must have had a terrible experience. That's why you can't speak. Now, I will reactivate those nerves that can't listen to the commands of your brain."
As he spoke, the strands of hair turned into silver needles and pierced them into the mute palace maid's white neck.
Silver needles were inserted into the acupuncture points of Renying, Shuitu, Futu, and Qishe. Then, silver needles were inserted into the acupuncture points of Wanguu, Fengchi, Fengfu, Mumen, and Tianzhu on the back of the neck. Each needle was inserted with different depth, and the whole process was done in one go. It took less than five breaths from the insertion of the needles to the removal of the needles.
Xiao Luo tapped gently and unlocked the acupuncture points of the mute palace maid. He said, "You should be able to speak now."
After he finished speaking, he turned into a shadow and left like a gust of wind.
"Wait, you haven't told me your name yet."
The mute palace maid chased after him for two or three steps. The next second, she was stunned. She coughed a few times, and her face was full of disbelief. "I … I can speak now …"
"Thump, thump, thump!"
Noisy footsteps were heard. The soldiers outside Funing Palace heard the commotion and ran in.
"Your Majesty?"
The leader of the group was shocked to see the mute palace maid. "Didn't you go to the Grand Master's place?"
"I did, but I'm back now."
The mute palace maid put her hands behind her back. A noble and elegant aura exuded from her body.
"Your Majesty, you … you can speak now?!"
The leader of the group widened his eyes. Ever since Her Majesty was ten years old, she had lost the ability to speak. After nine years, Her Majesty was suddenly able to speak again. It was unbelievable.
The other soldiers also found it hard to believe and were stunned.
The mute palace maid smiled and said, "I met a benefactor. He cured me. Oh right, call Grand Master Mother over. I have something to discuss with her."
"Your Majesty, I happen to have something to discuss with you too."
At this moment, a puff of green smoke floated in from outside the door. A clear voice sounded. Then, the puff of green smoke transformed into a person in front of the mute palace maid. It was a woman who looked to be in her thirties. She was wearing a white robe that reached the ground. She wore a crown that reached the sky. She had a beautiful face and exuded a charming aura.
When they saw this woman, the other soldiers stood up and took their leave.
"Grand Master Mother." The mute palace maid welcomed her happily.
"Funing, you can speak now?" The Grand Master asked in surprise. She thought she was hallucinating. She didn't expect Funing to really be able to speak.
Funing nodded, her clear eyes filled with joy. "Grand Master Mother, a man cured me."
"A man?"
The Grand Master's face darkened. "I'm here to report to you about a man who broke into the Baiyue Nation. According to General Zuo Meng, the man was transported here from somewhere else. His cultivation level is at least Martial Emperor."
"Martial Emperor?"
Funing recalled the scene of Xiao Luo flying in the air. Her lips curled into a smile. "Looks like it's him."
"Who do you mean by 'him'?"
"He's the man who cured my illness and allowed me to speak again," Funing said.
"He just came here?" The Grand Master was shocked.
Funing nodded.
"He can come and go without a trace in the palace. Even I can't detect him."
The more the Grand Master thought about it, the more terrified she became. "Men, come quickly!"
"Your Majesty, Grand Master." A soldier rushed in.
"Mobilize the troops to guard Funing Palace. Without my orders, not even a fly is allowed to enter," the Grand Master ordered.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The soldier took his leave.
"Grand Master Mother, you don't have to do this, do you?" Funing shook her head and pursed her lips.
