In the Soul-Seeking Gate, a bloody figure dressed in black and wearing a silver mask was sitting on a chair in the room.
Xi Ruming felt Xueying's pulse and said worriedly, "Young Master, the poison in your body is getting stronger and stronger. Let me help you detoxify it!"
Xueying's eyes flickered: "Don't worry, father. This little bit of poison can't affect me!"
At this time, the door was knocked, and a loud voice rang out from outside: "Master, Du Zhong is back!"
Xi Ruming smiled and said, "That silly Du Zhong is back."
Du Zhong walked in carrying a paper bag: "Master, I bought some crispy chicken. Oh, the miracle doctor is here too! Let's eat together!"
Xueying coughed in dissatisfaction and asked, "How is it going?"
Du Zhong chuckled and said, "Master, this time the two thousand gold has been sent to the disaster area in Yuqing by Du Heng."
He pulled off a chicken leg and handed it to Xi Ruming, then held the chicken butt and took a bite.
"Master, you ordered people to rob the Prime Minister's Mansion, why didn't you steal more? I think there's more than a thousand taels of gold there. We should rob him clean! This corrupt official!"
Although Xueying looked at Du Zhong with some disdain, he still explained to him in a good-tempered manner: "This one thousand taels of gold is for the Prime Minister to raise private soldiers for the Crown Prince, so he naturally dared not say a word! You looted the Prime Minister's residence. If this angers Li Mingfu, do you think you can get away with it?"
Du Zhong scratched his head and smiled foolishly, then walked out with the crispy chicken.
When Du Zhong went out, he ran into Shang Lu and Shang Zhi, the brother and sister, who had returned to report. He smiled at Shang Zhi and said, "Xiao Zhi is back. Would you like some crispy chicken?"
Shang Zhi's cold face had no expression at all, and she ignored him and walked into the house.
Shang Lu glanced at him and said, "Are you the reincarnation of a starving ghost? Disgusting!"
Du Zhong curled his lips and said: "People have to eat! Food is the most important thing for people! You..." The sound of the door closing answered him.
Shang Lu walked up to Xueying and said in a deep voice, "Master, five days ago, a woman with a round face entered the Ghost Market. She approached Mu San and asked for your information. Later, she saw the image of the Soul-Catching Token."
Xueying clasped his hands together and asked with a sharp gaze, "Has this person ever existed in the martial arts world?"
Shang Lu shook his head: "I've never heard of it!"
Shang Zhi said: "Master, it is very likely a disguise!"
Shang Lu continued, "Later, she went to Green Willow Lane, and Mu San's Black Hawk Team followed her. We initially suspected she was the Ghost Hand from the Soul-Snatching Pavilion, but our spies said that Mu San's men are also looking for this person. She can't be the Ghost Hand."
Xueying asked doubtfully, "She got the token but didn't go to the Soul-Snatching Pavilion?"
Shang Lu's voice was somewhat serious: "Master, she was able to get the token from you quietly. This person is very dangerous! Do you want us to take people to destroy the Soul-Snatching Pavilion?"
Xueying stood up and said, "Shanglu! The people in the Soul-Snatching Pavilion are all orphans who have lost their parents in the martial arts world. The Soul-Snatching Pavilion does not kill innocent people indiscriminately. We should not interfere too much in the affairs of the martial arts world! But this woman will definitely return to the Soul-Snatching Pavilion. Send someone to keep an eye on Mu San and see what that woman is up to!"
Shang Lu and Shang Zhi took the order and went out.
Xi Ruming asked worriedly, "Young Master, you didn't realize how that woman stole the token from you that night?"
As Xueying walked, he said, "No! I didn't feel anything at all! Father, don't worry. I didn't sense her killing intent. Maybe she's just a simple thief!"
Inside the General's Mansion, Luo Lingyue held the invitation in her hand, a bit dazed. She didn't have many memories of the original owner. The people in the General's Mansion knew that the Crown Prince and Li Jingshu had soul separation syndrome, and they also accepted the theory that Luo Lingyue's memory was damaged.
Luo Lingyue turned to Linglong and asked: "Do I have to go?" In the novel, the original owner and this eighth princess were a pair of fake sisters.
The prince the original owner favored was the full brother of the eighth princess, Chu Caiwei! The original owner was very fond of Chu Caiwei, and since Chu Caiwei was the legitimate princess, she was always overbearing and domineering. She and the original owner had a lot in common.
Linglong said embarrassedly: "Miss, when you went shopping yesterday, many young ladies from aristocratic families saw you. This can't be called an illness!"
Liuli took out a pink peony-embroidered palace dress and said, "Miss, would you like to wear this dress when you go to the palace?"
Luo Lingyue looked disgusted: "Liuli, I went to the palace to appreciate the peach blossoms, and you want me to be the peach blossoms! Change into that moon-white feather gauze skirt."
As they sat in the carriage to the palace, Liuli asked worriedly, "Miss, isn't your makeup too plain? The Eighth Princess has invited young masters from prominent families and talented young men from the capital today. I heard she even invited last year's top two scholars."
Linglong rolled her eyes at Liuli and said, "I think Miss, this is fine."
Luo Lingyue closed her eyes and said nothing, but in her heart she was thinking, isn't this peach blossom viewing just a large-scale blind date event? She was not interested in blind dates at all.
In reality, she was decisive and ruthless, but her judgment of men was terrible. She was also quite a scumbag, otherwise how could she have died so tragically?
Since God has given her a chance to be reborn, she decided to stay away from men. No love, no safety!
At the gate of the imperial palace, a young eunuch took Luo Lingyue to the Yaoguang Palace of the Eighth Princess.
When passing by the Haoxue Palace, Luo Lingyue saw a tall and thin figure in the peach blossom forest.
She remembered the clear eyes like a deer that she saw that day. Although the Eighth Princess was not a good person, she had an excellent eye for men.
When Luo Lingyue thought about the fact that the original owner liked the extremely cunning prince, she felt a chill!
Arriving at Yaoguang Palace, the Eighth Princess complained to Luo Lingyue upon seeing her, "Why are you so late? Look, the Crown Prince has been here for a long time. Don't blame me for not reminding you, that bitch Li Jingshu has been staying with the Crown Prince for quite some time!"
