A few days later, Hai Ruyue led a group of people from Jinzhou and entered Qingshan County City.
She couldn't avoid getting angry at Shang Chaozong when she didn't see what she wanted. She asked Shang Chaozong to speed up.
Actually, to Hai Ruyue, since her son was cured, the importance of Ying Yang and Wu Lie Graud had decreased. It was just that Ten Thousand Heavenly Grotto Manor was looking forward to it. She found this reason, and Ten Thousand Heavenly Grotto Manor agreed immediately.
Just as Niu Youdao expected, Hai Ruyue didn't see what she wanted to see. The next day, Hai Ruyue's schedule was outside the city.
Early the next morning, Niu Youdao personally welcomed them at the entrance of the valley after washing up.
Hai Ruyue and her group got off their horses. Only Hai Ruyue and her followers were allowed to enter. Everyone else was blocked outside.
"What is Princess Royal looking at?"
As they entered the valley, Niu Youdao noticed that Hai Ruyue kept glancing at the people on his side and asked with a smile.
Hai Ruyue said, "Are you not allowing me to see the scenery here?"
She was looking at people to see if Mr. Ming was here. If there was, all her doubts would naturally be solved.
She believed that if Niu Youdao really did it, he wouldn't just let anyone do it. It must be one of Niu Youdao's trusted men.
"Of course not! Princess Royal, please go ahead. "Niu Youdao laughed. He was obviously looking at people, not the scenery.
When they arrived at Niu Youdao's residence, Hai Ruyue dismissed the others and didn't allow them to follow.
Li Wuhua, who was accompanying the guards, was slightly dissatisfied. However, in front of so many people, he couldn't say anything.
When they reached the cliff halfway up the mountain, they saw a thatched hut. Hai Ruyue was surprised. "You worked so hard for Shang Chaozong, and you're staying in this shabby place?"
Her next sentence was about to be, "Do you want to consider coming to my place?"
Niu Youdao pointed at the top of the mountain diagonally opposite. "There's a good place, but it's still under construction. It won't be completed anytime soon. You probably won't be able to move in this year."
Hai Ruyue looked over and vaguely saw the outlines of pavilions, terraces, and buildings. Craftsmen came and went up and down the mountain. She nodded and did not say anything.
Niu Youdao extended his hand and invited her to take a seat at the stone table outside the thatched hut. Black Peony served tea.
"Let's talk alone." Hai Ruyue glanced at the black peony and said indifferently.
Niu Youdao gestured for Black Peony to leave. He picked up the teapot and poured tea for her. He asked casually, "Is your son well?"
Hai Ruyue's eyelids twitched. She didn't know how to bring up that matter. If it wasn't this guy who did it, then she would be giving herself to him.
She came here precisely to verify that matter. That matter was no small matter, and it made her feel as if a fishbone was stuck in her throat. She tossed and turned restlessly, unable to find peace day and night. If she wasn't confident, she would always be on tenterhooks. Otherwise, she wouldn't have hurried over.
Because of this, she tried her best to get the Ten Thousand Heavenly Cave Manor to help keep this a secret, to keep the fact that her son's terminal illness had been cured a secret.
It was really like what was written on that piece of paper: Do not make a sound, cover up yourself!
This feeling of being led by the nose was not a good feeling.
She slowly picked up the teacup and coldly snorted. "Thanks to you, he's very well!"
Niu Youdao smiled, then sighed. "I'm very sorry about the Scarlet Sun Vermillion Fruit. However, I really tried my best at the Ice and Snow Pavilion. I believe you have heard about the situation. I almost got into trouble and returned in low spirits. I don't have the face to see the Grand Princess."
"Puff … cough cough …" Hai Ruyue choked on the tea and coughed. She still wanted to ask about this matter, but before she could open her mouth, this guy directly denied it.
Niu Youdao was surprised. "Grand Princess, please slow down. If you like this tea, I still have some here. I can ask the Grand Princess to bring it back."
Putting down the teacup, Hai Ruyue took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped her lips. After she calmed down, she stared at him for a long time.
The other party directly denied this matter, which made her even more suspicious. The first thing he did was ask about her son's health, and then he denied the Scarlet Sun Vermillion Fruit. With this connection, it was hard for her not to be suspicious.
Niu Youdao touched his face. "Good looking?"
Hai Ruyue nodded. "Very good looking. Why don't you come with me and be my gigolo?"
Niu Youdao looked at her with a smile. He knew that the other party's words sounded like a joke, but at the same time, it was not a joke.
Later on, when he understood the situation in the palace, he found out that it was common for married princesses to have a gigolo for fun. It was an open secret. It was said that some princesses had more than one gigolo.
Under normal circumstances, there were not many men who could compare to a princess in terms of family background and power. Even her husband had to obey her and did not dare to interfere. In addition, she did not have to worry about food and clothing. She had nothing to do, so it was normal for her to think about sex. There were also many men who wanted to flatter her. Once she teased them, it was normal for them to roll around together.
As long as they did not cause too much of a ruckus, no one would expose them.
Of course, after marrying a husband who held great power, it was a different situation. She definitely had to restrain herself.
Now that she was in charge of the Xiao family, there were no restrictions on her. In addition, she was a widow, so it was not strange for her to say such words.
"I am still young. It is not suitable." Niu Youdao teased.
Hai Ruyue was embarrassed into anger. She thought that she had taken good care of herself, but the other party said that she was too old.
She looked to the side and scoffed. Then, she returned to the main topic. "Thank you for the person you sent to my place a few days ago."
Niu Youdao was stunned. "Sent someone? Who did you send? I didn't send anyone! "
Hai Ruyue clenched her teeth and sneered. "Stop pretending. Who else could it be other than you?"
Niu Youdao was shocked. "Princess Royal, I am getting more and more confused. What is going on?"
Hai Ruyue stared at him coldly. How could she speak? She still had the same words. If this fellow really did not do it, she would just be looking for trouble.
"What are you trying to do?" Hai Ruyue said hatefully.
Niu Youdao was shocked. "I did not do anything. Princess Royal, what are you talking about?"
Hai Ruyue slowly drank her tea. Her eyes flickered. Finally, she put down the teacup and said, "To be honest, come and help me. My influence is not something that Shang Chaozong can compare to. What I can give you, Shang Chaozong cannot give you. Money, goods, or women, I can give them to you. You can set the conditions! "
Regardless of whether it was true or not, she wanted to pull him to her side first.
Niu Youdao shook his head and rejected. "There is no need. I appreciate Princess Royal's kindness."
Hai Ruyue: "What is so good about Shang Chaozong?"
Niu Youdao: "I do not like to pick ready-made peaches. Peaches should be grown by myself. They are sweet."
Hai Ruyue said in a deep voice, "Is there no room for discussion?"
Niu Youdao shook his head. "It is good now. There is no need for discussion."
"Alright!" Hai Ruyue nodded. "It is fine if you do not want to come. Give me someone!"
This time, Niu Youdao was really curious. He asked, "Who do you want?"
Hai Ruyue: "Yuan Gang!"
"…" Niu Youdao was stunned. He realized that this woman had a good eye. She could actually tell that Yuan Gang could help her. He shook his head. "I cannot make the decision for him."
Hai Ruyue: "Isn't he your subordinate?"
Niu Youdao smiled bitterly. "I really cannot make the decision. Let me put it this way. If he is willing to go, I will not stop him. If he does not want to go, I will not force him."
Hai Ruyue looked around and asked, "Where is he? Why do I not see him? Call him over. I will talk to him. "
Niu Youdao stood up and walked to the cliff. He waved his hand and the black peony flew over.
"Call Yuan Gang over." Niu Youdao instructed.
"There is no need. Just bring me to him. I was just looking for someone familiar to see the scenery here." Hai Ruyue also stood up.
Niu Youdao gestured for the black peony to bring her away. He did not think that Yuan Gang would go with her.
Standing on the cliff and watching the woman go down the mountain, Niu Youdao smiled.
He could not admit to that matter. It was enough for the other party to know that Xiao Tianzhen used the Red Sun Vermillion Fruit stolen from the Ice and Snow Pavilion. Otherwise, there was no need to beat around the bush to treat Xiao Tianzhen's illness …
Looking at the beautiful woman beside him, Yuan Gang was a little puzzled. Daoye actually wanted him to accompany her for a walk? He guessed that the black peony would not lie.
He did not dislike Hai Ruyue, nor did he have a good impression of her.
He did not dislike her because he knew that this woman was not easy. He did not have a good impression of her because he did not like her habit of leaning on him.
"Are you really not going to consider it? You do not need to worry about Niu Youdao. He has already agreed. All that is left is for you to agree. "
Walking on the mountain path, Hai Ruyue's beautiful eyes stared at Yuan Gang as she spoke.
"He must be crazy to agree." Yuan Gang said coldly.
Hai Ruyue was stunned for a moment. For him to speak to Niu Youdao like this, it seemed that he was not one of Niu Youdao's subordinates. She tried to persuade him again, "What I can give you, this place cannot give you."
Yuan Gang, "What I want, you cannot give me!"
Hai Ruyue's eyes flickered. "Why don't you tell me."
Yuan Gang shook his head. "If I say you cannot give me, there is no point in saying it." He lowered his head and looked at her dress. "Princess Royal, let's go back. You are not suitable for walking on the mountain path in this dress."
"Alright!" Hai Ruyue smiled and nodded. Just as she turned around, her body suddenly swayed. She let out a cry and could not stand steadily.
Yuan Gang subconsciously helped her up and asked, "What happened?"
"I sprained my ankle." Hai Ruyue looked like she was in pain.
Yuan Gang helped her sit down on a rock. He squatted down and held her sprained ankle, pinching it to check.
"Ouch … ouch …" Hai Ruyue cried out in pain.
Yuan Gang did not find anything wrong with it. He did not know how to cast a spell to check it. Yuan Gang frowned and said, "Wait a moment, I will call someone to help you."
Hai Ruyue looked left and right. "You are just going to leave me here? What if someone bad comes? "
Yuan Gang, "Don't worry, there are cultivators from several sects guarding this place. It will not be easy for outsiders to sneak in."
"What if a wild beast or snake comes? I am afraid to go alone. You should carry me down the mountain! "
"Shh …" Yuan Gang put a finger in his mouth and whistled loudly.
A "swish" sound came from behind. Hai Ruyue almost jumped in fright. She turned around and saw a young man covered in grass suddenly appear. It turned out that there was someone hiding here, but she did not see him when she passed by.
It was not just this one. Three or four similar young men appeared in the surrounding area and all ran over. Hai Ruyue was speechless.
She could not help but rejoice. Fortunately, she resisted the urge to move and did not lean on Yuan Gang. Otherwise, if so many people saw them, it would be embarrassing!
The four messy young men stood in a row in front of Yuan Gang.
Yuan Gang pointed at Hai Ruyue. "Look after her. I will be back soon."
"Yes!" The four young men answered.
Hai Ruyue felt very guilty. If someone came to check and found that she did not sprain her ankle, it would be very embarrassing. She quickly said, "Forget it, I will walk slowly. I should be able to walk." She stood up and tried to walk a few steps. She smiled and said, "It's okay."
