followed her gaze, thinking she wanted to be betrothed to Qian Tingxuan. If that was her wish, he would readily agree.The woman bravely asked the Emperor for a golden amulet of immunity from death!"A..."What's wrong You came back frowning. Did that princess say something to you again" Qian Tingxuan caught her hand and looked at her with a smile.

Xiao Yu's song raised her eyes, sizing him up. The owner of those eyes must be a cold and ruthless person, someone who could freeze you with a single glance, let alone one like this with a smile.

But she didn't know that his smile was only for her.

"You told me, the first time you got hurt in that thicket, you were wearing that mask. Where did it come from And why aren't you wearing it now"

Qian Tingxuan pondered for a moment, as if he understood something, and couldn't help but smile faintly: "I thought it was something. Of course I bought that mask. That kind of mask is available everywhere in the market. I was just thinking about wearing it out at night to scare people. But after I got injured that night, blood splattered on the mask, so I threw it away. Anyway, it only needs to cover half my face. There's no need to wear the whole thing."

He thought to himself: Could this little thing be suspicious of something He didn't seem to have given anything away, did he

"What's wrong Why suddenly ask about this" Qian Tingxuan pulled her into his arms.

"It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered and wanted to ask." His explanation made sense, and Xiao Yuge dispelled the doubts in her heart. Perhaps she had overthought it. How could he possibly be that heartless person If he really was that person, he would never have kept it from her for so long.

"Tomorrow things should be almost settled, the day after tomorrow we should be able to set off back home, by then, you can try on your wedding dress and see if it fits."

"Well, it's finally time to go back, great!" Xiao Yuge stretched lazily and looked outside, "It's not too early: "Senior brother probably already started sorting the herbs there. I should go help him."

I can't sleep anyway, so I'll go with you.

"Okay."

"By the way, someone found the bodies of the Five Ghosts of Songshan at the west gate of the village today. I don't know who killed them, but they died horribly."

“They did all kinds of bad things, so naturally they deserved to die. That’s what you get for being evil!” Xiao Yuge smirked, it seemed like Ye Ge’s subordinates were still quite reliable. After returning, she had to thank Ye Ge properly. This time, his men had done her a huge favor. Otherwise, if the Wushan Five Ghosts relentlessly pursued her, who knows what would happen

However, this time we also have to thank the Five Ghosts of Songshan. Without their encouragement, Senior Brother and Ah Yue wouldn't have gotten together so quickly.

In a certain inn.

"Such trash! Didn't they claim to be highly skilled warriors How could they not even kill a Xiao Yu Ge! They wasted their lives for nothing, utterly useless! Idiots!" Xaio Yu Fu, disguised as a man, was so angry that she swept everything off the table onto the floor.

"Miss, please calm down!" An Ling hurriedly knelt on the ground.

"Angry How could I not be angry!" Xiao Yufu's face contorted with rage: "Xiao Yu Ge not only didn't die, but also caused Si Chen gege to get hurt saving her." Thinking about how Si Chen gege was with Xiao Yu Ge right now, she couldn't help but hate her.

"Miss, both the second Miss and she are about to marry the Wang Ye. You'll soon become the Crown Princess. In my humble opinion, it’s best to just let it go. Perhaps the second Miss is fated not to die. When you become Empress, she will only be a Princess Consort. When she sees you, she will have to respectfully address you as Her Majesty the Empress."

To be honest, An Ling's vision surpassed Xiao Yu Fu's.

Xiao Yu Fu listened, and after some thought, she agreed. She gritted her teeth and said, "I can't let them stay together like this every day. I have to find a way to get back to Si Chen Gege."

After she finished speaking, she pondered for a moment and quickly came up with a plan: "Anling, take this to a certain place..." She handed Anling a small token.

"Miss, the Grandmaster instructed that this token should not be used unless absolutely necessary. You now..."

"Bang!"

Before An Ling could finish her words, Xiao Yu Fu slapped her across the face!

"Remember, I am your master!"

"Yes!" Anling clenched the token and respectfully stepped back.

Xiao Yufu kicked the chair in front of her to the ground with one foot, her beautiful face twisted by jealousy: "Xiao Yuge, you wait for me, one day, I will make you disappear forever!"

A sudden gust of wind swept past her, and she instinctively turned around. Standing there was a woman in black, with a black hooded cloak covering her head and a black dress flowing down to her feet. She took an involuntary step back, trying to appear composed as she spoke in a low voice, "Who are you"

“I’m here to help you!” It was definitely a female voice, but it sounded strange, not like a normal person’s.

"Will you help me Why" Xiao Yufu was very suspicious and naturally wouldn't trust anyone easily.

"There's no reason, just...you can't kill Xiao Yuge." The woman in black spoke again, her voice as cold as ever.

"Why couldn't you kill her"

"Because, I feel it's more satisfying to see her lose everything and become utterly nothing." The black-clad woman cackled in a creepy, unsettling voice.

"With so many people protecting her now, how could she possibly lose everything Become completely destitute" Xiao Yufu was still skeptical.

“If I said I had a way, as long as you cooperate with me, we could definitely succeed. Think about it, if you killed her now, the men around her are all in love with her. Wouldn't she then become the unforgettable white moonlight in their hearts forever That way, even if she died, you would still lose. But what if she slowly lets those men down, one by one, until they discard and despise her At that point, without you lifting a finger, it's possible that those men themselves might take action against her. How about that”

Xiao Yu Fu listened, this was indeed something to vent one's anger, but she still had doubts: "That prince doesn't know what kind of spell she cast on him, wanting to drive a wedge between them, it probably wouldn't be that easy."

"That prince has been poisoned, he won't live long. When the prince is gone, Xiao Yuge will need a new patron to survive in the capital. She'll have to cling to either your Xiao family or the crown prince. As long as you can capture the crown prince's heart, leave the rest to me. I guarantee that Xiao Yuge will end up terribly."

The masked woman seemed quite confident.

“Well, whether what you say is true or false, as long as it’s against Xiao Yuge, then you’re my friend. I’ll cooperate with you!” Xiao Yufu didn’t think any more about it. As long as she could make Xiao Yuge end up miserably, she wouldn’t regret it.

"The county lord is indeed decisive!"

Xiao Yufu secretly thought: This person actually knows her true identity, it must be someone from the capital. When she goes back, she'll find someone to investigate and find out who it is.ently guiding Princess Yinyue to a corner. Throughout their two-hour journey, she had stopped several times, citing Princess Yinyue's pain, and each stop lasted for half an hour. " 。Though there was c...
