What do you mean by you have to kneel down as well? I'm guarding against you!
With your character, if I really let you go, who knows what kind of nonsense you'll say and what kind of trouble you'll cause.
Naturally, the intercepting cultivators refused. No matter how much Hao Qingqing yelled, they would not let them pass. How could Hao Qingqing be willing? Previously, she had no choice because of her Imperial Father's decree. Now that she saw a way to save her brother, she would naturally go over no matter what.
"Capture them and bring them away!" The leading cultivator waved his hand and ordered.
Thus, Hao Qingqing was captured on the spot and taken away.
The people that Hao Qingqing had brought could only watch on helplessly. Firstly, there was the Emperor's decree. Secondly, the three major sects had personally come to arrest them. Who would dare to stop them?
"Hu Yanwei, help me! Hu Yanwei, hurry up and help me. "Hao Qingqing, who was being taken away, could only shout at Hu Yanwei.
Hu Yanwei shrank back and pretended not to hear anything. He waved his hand and called his subordinates, "Come, let's go back!"
Since things had already come to this, there was no way he would listen to Hao Qingqing and defy the decree.
"Hu Yanwei, you bastard, are you still a man? Hu Yanwei, do you still want me to bear you a son? "
Hu Yan Wei led his men away dejectedly. He didn't even turn his head as he muttered, "It's up to you whether you want to give birth or not. There are so many women in the world, and there are plenty of women who can give birth to children for me. It's good that you don't want to give birth. I can't possibly end my lineage, right? If I take in concubines to continue my lineage, even His Majesty wouldn't be able to say anything. Eh … "
As he muttered to himself, he suddenly became spirited. In an instant, he had convinced himself. Yes, in this case, he didn't need to guard this shrew anymore. He had a reason to look for the other beautiful women outside. It was good that this shrew didn't give birth to children for him!
Once he understood this, it was as if he had been injected with chicken blood. His eyes began to shine, and he no longer hid his head and pretended not to hear anything. Instead, he raised his head and puffed out his chest, waved his hand, and said, "Let's go!"
Full of vigor, he led a group of subordinates to whip their horses and gallop away.
To him, Hao Qingqing's beauty was nothing. To him, marrying a woman like Hao Qingqing was a disaster in his life. She was unruly, domineering, and even dared to hit her husband. How could she compare to the wild flowers outside? However, because of her identity as a princess, he didn't dare to go out to seek pleasure. His days were too painful.
Unfortunately, the other party was the Emperor's beloved Eldest Princess. She did not dare to do anything to Hao Qingqing, and the military stick at home would not allow it.
"Hu Yanwei, if you dare to try and leave, I will definitely not let you off. Hu Yanwei, you bastard … "Hao Qingqing, who was on the verge of despair, was about to go mad with rage. She cursed loudly.
Shao Liu-er was very cautious as she entered the Ghost Doctor's disciple's courtyard. Before she even saw that Mister Wu Xin, she was already choosing her words carefully, afraid that she would make him unhappy.
The environment of the house was simple and elegant, and the fragrance of medicine wafted in the air. It was obvious that this was the residence of a doctor.
After passing through the front yard and entering the backyard, he saw a thin man dressed in a green robe standing quietly with his back to him. Beside him was a beautiful woman dressed in simple and crude clothing. She seemed to be looking at him curiously.
As the man's back was facing her, Shao Liuer couldn't see his face. She subconsciously looked at Guo Man, who kept turning around to lead the way, and revealed a questioning look.
Guo Man smiled and nodded, indicating that she had guessed correctly. That was indeed Mister Wu Xin.
When they arrived, Shao Liu-er stood a distance away and respectfully bowed. "This lowly concubine Shao Liu-er greets Mister Wu Xin."
She was humble and had abandoned her noble status as a princess.
After waiting for a while, Shao Liu-er did not receive any polite words like "you may rise". She raised her head slightly and saw that the man was silent and motionless. He did not respond at all.
Yan Baoru and Guo Man looked at each other, their gazes shifting back and forth.
Shao Liu-er could not see it, but the two people standing on either side of Wu Xin could see his reaction. His eyes were closed and his face was taut. He clasped his hands together so tightly that his knuckles had turned white. He seemed to be doing his best to control his emotions.
"This lowly concubine Shao Liu-er greets Mister Wu Xin." Shao Liu-er bowed once again.
Wu Xin took a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes. He slowly placed his hands behind his back and slowly turned around.
Shao Liu-er, who had lowered her head to greet Wu Xin, lifted her eyes again and happened to see Wu Xin turn around.
With just one glance, Shao Liu-er's eyes widened and her face filled with disbelief. It was as if she had been struck by lightning. She stood rooted to the ground in shock, thinking that she was dreaming!
Yan Baoru and Guo Man quickly exchanged glances. Previously, the two of them had felt that Mister Wu Xin and the princess had some sort of relationship. It was only after seeing Shao Liu-er's reaction that they were certain that the princess had known Mister Wu Xin in the past.
However, the two of them felt that it was a little strange. Since she knew Mister Wu Xin, why did she have to go through so much trouble?
Wu Xin thought that he would be very excited and had been trying hard to control his emotions. However, the moment he saw Shao Liu-er's face, he became strangely calm. His gaze was cold as he stared at Shao Liu-er.
The current Shao Liu-er had long since lost the temperament of a girl waiting to be married off. Her figure was much more well-rounded, and she exuded a graceful and wealthy air. Her temperament was even better, and her skin was even fairer than before. With one glance, one could tell that she was a woman from a rich and powerful family.
It was just that she appeared to be in a slightly sorry state. Due to her kowtowing and kneeling, her hair style and accessories were a little messy. Her clothes were also not as neat as before, and there were bloodstains on her neck caused by the blade of a sword.
After recovering from her shock, Shao Liu-er's expression became somewhat flustered. She wanted to say something, but was hesitant.
Compared to Wu Xin's current coldness, there was a contrast between the temperament of the two of them.
"You … you …" Shao Liu-er began to speak, but she couldn't complete her sentence.
Wu Xin, on the other hand, calmly said, "You are Wang Haozhen's princess?"
Shao Liu-er felt extremely guilty. Her eyes were filled with panic as she replied, "Yes … yes … yes."
She recalled some past events. She still remembered the coldness of the river water. Occasionally, she would dream of being trapped in a pig cage in the icy river water. She would be trapped in the pig cage with a man, struggling in panic, causing her to wake up from her nightmares.
In her early years, she would often have those nightmares. Now, her mentality had gradually calmed down. With her husband and son watching over her, she had become more relaxed and rarely had those nightmares.
The person in front of her reminded her of those nightmares. The person in front of her looked exactly the same as the man who was trapped in the pig cage with her in her nightmares.
Of course, it was only their appearances that were similar. Their temperaments were completely different. With her current mature eyes, the man in the pig cage was nothing more than a pedantic, ignorant, and naive scholar. However, the person in front of her had a restrained aura. Moreover, his aura was calm and steady. It was an aura that disregarded everything. It was an aura that didn't even place a noble like her in his eyes. This kind of aura was something that the scholar couldn't compare to.
She clearly remembered that in order to prevent her from dying with him, the scholar had agreed to separate from her.
She clearly remembered that the scholar and her older brother, Shao Pingbo, had made a promise of three years. No matter what profession the scholar was in, as long as he could achieve something within three years, her older brother would grant them their wish and allow her to marry the scholar.
She clearly remembered the scene of the scholar wailing loudly as he staggered away, feeling that he was useless. Although she had somewhat forgotten that sorrowful figure as he left with the passage of time, she would never be able to completely forget it for the rest of her life.
In today's life, even she herself was a little unclear as to whether her older brother's actions were right or wrong. After coming into contact with more reality, she didn't know if she was as ignorant as a young girl back then. At the very least, with her current level of thinking, she realized that her thoughts and actions back then were indeed a little unrealistic.
She had already become a mother and replaced herself in her older brother's position back then. If her daughter wanted to be like that scholar, would she, the Princess who was immersed in the turbulence of the Qi Capital, be able to agree?
The reason why she felt guilty when she saw this man was because of the promise of three years. The scholar had strenuously told her to wait for him for three years!
However, before the time of the promise, she had married someone else!
Even though there were other reasons, such as knowing that the scholar was already dead, she still didn't keep to the promise.
Wu Xin calmly said, "Why does Princess look so flustered? Did I scare Princess?"
"No, no, no." Shao Liu 'er hurriedly waved her hands to deny it. "It's only because Mister looks like an old friend of mine. I lost my composure for a moment. Mister, please don't blame me."
Guo Man and Yan Baoru glanced at each other again.
Wu Xin made an 'oh' sound and said, "To be able to make Princess misjudge him, he must really look like me. If there's a chance, why don't you bring him here and let me meet him?"
Shao Liu 'er forced a look and said, "Mister, you're making things difficult for me. That old friend of mine has already passed away …" She paused for a moment, then cautiously asked, "I've long heard of Mister's great name. Mister's medical skills are superb. I presume you've been studying medicine for many years?"
Wu Xin made an 'en' sound and said, "I've been studying medicine by my master's side since I was young."
Shao Liu 'er made an' oh 'sound and her worried heart relaxed. She knew that Wu Xin's appearance and the scholar's disappearance weren't that long apart. How could he have learned such superb medical skills in such a short period of time? He must have been studying medicine for a long time. Moreover, that scholar didn't know anything about medicine before.
From this, it could be seen that the two of them just happened to look alike. It was impossible for them to be the same person.
However, she couldn't help but admit that the two of them really looked too similar.
Wu Xin continued, "Princess, did you come here to inquire about my medical experience?"
"No, no, no!" Shao Liu 'er hurriedly denied. "This lowly concubine came here to earnestly ask Mister to be merciful. My husband has been poisoned …"
Hearing her mention her husband, Wu Xin interrupted her somewhat impatiently, "Bu Xun came looking for me. Bu Xun has already told me everything that needs to be said. I know what happened, so there's no need to be long-winded."
Shao Liu 'er immediately cupped her hands and pleaded, "I beg Mister to be merciful!"
Wu Xin expressionlessly looked at her for a while, then suddenly said word by word, "You … want me … to save your husband?"
She didn't know if the speaker had said it intentionally or if the listener had said it intentionally, but after hearing these words, Shao Liu 'er couldn't help but carefully examine Wu Xin's appearance again. She didn't know if it was just her misperception, but she felt that Wu Xin's words had a deeper meaning.
Wu Xin's gaze seemed to have turned even colder!
This matter was urgent. Shao Liu 'er got rid of the distracting thoughts in her mind. She lifted her dress with both hands and knelt down once again. She pleaded, "Mister, this lowly concubine begs you!"
Wu Xin, "Why should I save your husband?"
Shao Liu 'er immediately said, "What does Mister want? As long as it's within our ability, we will do our best to satisfy Mister. "After she finished speaking, she repeatedly kowtowed. This time, she kowtowed loudly.
Wu Xin looked down at her from above. A pained expression flashed through his eyes, and his cheeks tightened. "It seems that you and your husband have a very deep relationship."
These words caused Shao Liu 'er, who was kowtowing, to stiffen.
Wu Xin, "You can't give me what I want! I don't want anything. "
Thinking that Wu Xin had refused to save her, Shao Liu 'er immediately raised her head and said in a panic, "Mister, please state your conditions."
