Yuan Qin nodded slightly. Seeing that Ji Xingzhi's face was not very good, he thought that Ji Ruhua stayed in Shuizhou for Shui Lianche. Considering Ji Xingzhi's face, he did not ask any further.
Ji Xingzhi didn't want to say much about Ji Ruhua. He just hoped that Ji Ruhua could live better in Shuizhou than in Lizhou.
If he had known that such an irreversible tragedy would happen later, Yuan Qin would have definitely asked for the whole story. If he had known that Shui Lianche would treat Ji Ruhua in that way, Ji Xingzhi would have revealed everything.
Unfortunately, that's just if.
They all caused irreparable damage because of a momentary lapse of judgment and underestimated Shui Lianche's viciousness.
——
Selangor.
On the surface, Selangor is as peaceful and tranquil as ever, with its people living and working in peace and contentment. The losses caused by the floods have gradually recovered.
At first glance, it is still the same Xuezhou City covered in ice and snow, quiet and peaceful like a paradise on earth.
But only the important officials of the Xuezhou court knew that the tranquility of Xuezhou was just a pretense. Their emperor was assassinated by a mysterious man a month ago. Years have passed. The emperor was seriously injured and was still in a coma, relying on some precious medicines to keep him alive.
The saint Ling Fei, who was in charge of the overall situation, was poisoned that day in order to save the emperor, and is now lying on the bed dying.
If the situation between the Emperor and the Saint gets out, the consequences will be unimaginable!
Therefore, when the news came that Shuizhou was attacking Lizhou, Xuezhou was also powerless.
At this time, in the Holy Maiden Palace.
In the quaint boudoir, all the furniture is available, and behind the gorgeous screen is a large white soft bed.
Sitting on the bed was a thinly dressed woman. She was pale and looked very weak, her lips were white, and her breath seemed to be almost gone. Even though she looked so haggard, it still couldn't hide her beauty.
Instead, there is an indescribable morbid beauty.
You may not believe it, but this woman who looks half dead is Ling Fei, the Holy Maiden of Selangor who once charmed thousands of boys and girls, and is admired by everyone in Selangor.
In addition to Ling Fei, there was another person sitting beside the bed. He was wearing a white brocade robe embroidered with a pattern of flowing clouds. He exuded an innate nobility, with a handsome face and a gentle temperament.
This person is Bai Xiu. Only in front of Ling Fei, his free and unrestrained nature will disappear, leaving only tenderness.
After transferring spiritual energy to Ling Fei, Bai Xiu looked at her hesitantly, not knowing how to start. He hesitated and only called out Ling Fei's name: "Ling Fei..."
Ling Fei paused, letting Bai Xiu help her lie down. She slowly said, "The Soul-Snatching Flower poison won't be cured in a day. It's useless for you to stay here. Right now, Lizhou needs you more."
"After the five states are pacified, I will take you away from here." Bai Xiu smiled slightly, reached out and touched Ling Fei's head.
Ling Fei nodded slightly and said obediently: "Okay."
On that day, Bai Xiu left some disciples to protect Ling Fei, and took the remaining hundred people to leave Xuezhou and head towards Lizhou.
As soon as Bai Xiu left, Ling Fei forced herself to get up from the bed and handle government affairs. Although Xue Bai used to like women, he did not completely ignore government affairs. At least, Ling Fei did not have to worry about some small matters. But now, she has to take care of all matters, big and small, and her workload has doubled.
Even so, Ling Fei did not fall down. She sat still when she had difficulty moving. Her face was not looking good but she was covered with a veil. Because of Ling Fei's appearance, the rumors about the emperor and the saint lady that were secretly spreading in Xuezhou City were self-defeating.
