Xi Shi returned to the Qilin Mountain. Before he could see anyone, the door opened and closed without any wind.
He sat cross-legged on the couch and placed his hands in front of his chest. A cloud of black gas was growing bigger and bigger in his palms.
Silence. The room was dead silent as if no time had passed. It was like a painting. Fortunately, there was smoke coming out of the stove, proving that this was real.
"Stop!" The old divine doctor broke the door and entered. The cold wind blew in and the blanket given by Huarong fell to the ground.
Xi Shi was interrupted and suddenly spat out a few mouthfuls of blood, but he didn't care. He carefully put away the blanket as if it wasn't an ordinary old blanket, but a rare treasure.
"You want to use your ability again? You were seriously injured last time. Do you want to die this time? "The old divine doctor said angrily.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and sat firmly on the couch. "Someone wants to hurt her. I have to know who it is!"
"Didn't you ask Zhao Han-chul to investigate? Just wait for his news. If you use your ability again, you'll die here. Who will take her back then? "
The words fell into Xi Shi's heart. His heart was already turbulent, and he couldn't calm down for a long time. Yes, she still had to go back. Back in Qiong Cang, she was an unattainable goddess, and that place didn't welcome him.
Suddenly, he lowered his head and held the old blanket in his hand. He was originally not good enough for her, so what did he want?
But whether he was good enough or not, she had to say it. Twice. She said that sentence twice — because I like you.
How good would it be if she never went back to Qiong Cang?
Thinking of this, he suddenly covered his chest. How could he have such absurd and despicable thoughts?
Because of the Jiang family, Huarong couldn't go anywhere. She also felt cold and didn't want to move. All the women in the family gathered in Xiangtan Courtyard to talk to the Old Man.
Huarong leaned lazily beside the Old Man and yawned from time to time. She listened to the women's gossip. Whose daughter-in-law was born? Whose daughter was about to get married? It was very complicated and detailed. Huarong didn't like it very much.
She felt sleepy listening to it.
"Anin."
You Clan called her three times. Shuxiu pushed her, and Huarong woke up. She asked urgently, "What's wrong? Is it time to eat? "
"Yes." Madam Wu shook her head. Although her daughter had a marriage proposal, and the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion also came to join in the fun, which gave her a lot of face, her daughter was not very reliable. Who would really marry her in the future?
You Clan ignored her sister-in-law's moans and sighs. She asked curiously, "Anin, why are you okay after drinking that wine?"
"Because Anin is smart." Huarong pretended to be very proud. She looked like she wanted to be praised.
"Auntie is asking you a serious question!" You Clan poked her forehead helplessly. "Speak properly."
"I soaked the handkerchief in the antidote overnight." Huarong had no choice but to tell the truth. "I used a tricky method. No one could smell the medicine at all."
"Oh, I thought it was a new method. So it was the old lady's trick." You Clan immediately lost interest.
Huarong curled her lips. What a fickle woman! She was so excited just now. Was she not smart enough? Really.
"Sister-in-law, do you still expect Anin's bad friends to come up with a trick for her? They are good at fighting on the streets, but I'm afraid they are all fools in the backyard. " Madam Zhou added, "But Anin has a lot of friends. The Jiang family can't do anything even if they want to."
These words made sense. Huarong nodded. The Jiang family was not an ordinary family. An ordinary family could not sit in the position of Governor of the Capital. Huarong refused to settle this matter privately, and the whole city knew about it. The Jiang family wanted to slander Huarong at first, but they did not succeed. Almost all the playboys in Jinling respected Huarong. How could they slander her so easily?
Although playboys were naughty and mischievous, they were all spoiled by their families. If they were not spoiled, they would not dare to be playboys.
"Miss, someone is here to see you." Shuxiu went out for a while and came back to report in a low voice.
Hua Rong looked at her and asked lazily, "Who is it?"
"Young Master Lin and Prince Zhang." Shuxiu said. In the past, she used to call Zhang Xiaotian and Zhang Xiaotian. She had never been polite. After the Jiang family incident, she became more polite.
Huarong yawned again and got up lazily. "Serve tea in the front hall."
When she walked out of the courtyard, the cold wind hit her. She shivered and her sleepiness disappeared instantly. She was so alert that she sniffed.
When she walked to the front hall, she was so cold that she was shivering. "One can't be lazy. You've only been lazy for a few hours, and now you're so cold. What a sin."
"Boss." Zhang Xiaotian saw Huarong and began to hesitate.
Huarong glanced at him. "What are you doing? Colder than me? How did you take care of your underlings in the past? "
"That's right. Be more manly. Look at Boss." Lin Heqing slapped Zhang Xiaotian's arm and said without thinking.
Shuxiu frowned deeply and said in an unfriendly tone, "Who are you calling a man!"
"Old people are so manly …" He stopped abruptly. "Boss, I'm sorry …"
Huarong didn't mind. Men are men. What's wrong with being a man? Besides, she was good-looking. Even if she was a man, she was still a gentleman. She was not worse than Zhao Han-chul.
"Say it. Why did you come here together?" She sat on the main seat lazily and gestured for them to sit down. She drank the hot tea to warm herself up. "I didn't expect that you two would be like fire and water in the past. Why are you wearing the same pair of pants today?"
"Boss, you'll always be the first in my heart!" Lin Heqing expressed his loyalty in a timely manner.
Huarong couldn't be bothered with him and only looked at Zhang Xiaotian.
Zhang Xiaotian didn't dare to look at Huarong and stared blankly at the tip of his feet.
"Forget it if you don't want to say it. You're so shy like a wife." Huarong tugged at his sleeves. His sleeves were too wide, and the cold wind didn't stop at all.
"Boss!" Zhang Xiaotian didn't say anything, but when he did, he knelt in front of Huarong and said, "Boss, I want to find a good grave for Dong San."
"Go ahead. Do you lack money? Shuxiu. "Huarong immediately ordered Shuxiu to get the money.
Zhang Xiaotian hurriedly said, "No, Boss. We can't find his body."
"Maybe he's not dead?" Huarong frowned slightly.
"He's dead. It was done by the people from Four Quarters Embassy." Zhang Xiaotian collapsed. His expression was as ugly as a cabbage under the scorching sun. His eyes were full of self-blame.
"You're saying that only the people from Four Quarters Embassy know where the body is?" Huarong's expression turned serious.
In the past, Four Quarters Embassy was only a relay station for receiving envoys from the neighboring countries. Later on, it gradually evolved into a place where the emperor accepted talents. This organization was directly under the emperor and specialized in doing things that the emperor couldn't do.
They wore the uniform of the imperial guards and were also known as the imperial guards. However, those who were in the know knew that they were different from the imperial guards.
