Li Sisi nodded: "Okay."
At night, a crescent moon hangs in the sky, and the early autumn wind makes the branches and leaves tremble.
In the princess's mansion, Wen Luoxin fell into a nightmare.
His long eyelashes trembled in the darkness, his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and his increasingly rapid breathing sounded in the house in the dark night.
Suddenly, her eyes shot open and she sat up in bed like a frightened bird.
She gasped for breath, her pupils constricted as she observed her surroundings.
It was just a dream...
The scene in the dream replayed in her mind. She held the cup tightly with both hands. Fear, resentment and unwillingness filled her chest, and her nerves were like a taut string.
She thought about the dead end in the dream that she could not escape no matter what, and thought about someone silently telling her in the dream.
She was originally the heroine in a book. She possessed absolute luck in this world and was born to be a phoenix.
However, everything was destroyed by the uninvited guests who broke into this world. Now those two people from another world are trying to kill her and steal her luck!
Wen Luoxin immediately thought of the two ladies of the Xiao Mansion.
Completely different temperament and unusual means.
Take the pills Yun Qiuwu gave her last time, for example. Some of the medicinal ingredients in them only exist in legends.
The efficacy of the pills is even more amazing.
At that time, she met Sima Shaoyu who was seriously injured in northern Jiangsu. She did not have any suitable medicinal materials, so she took out the pills Li Nian gave her and fed them to Sima Shaoyu.
To be honest, although she accepted the medicine from Yun Qiuwu, she did not believe that Yun Qiuwu really gave it to her.
Sima Shaoyu's appearance was just the right opportunity for her to verify the effectiveness of the medicine.
Unexpectedly, the pill was like a magic elixir, working instantly. The dying person took the medicine and instantly recovered.
Regardless of whether the dream was true or false, she must not let those two women go!
The East Street of Beijing is the busiest time in the early morning, with all kinds of talking and shouting coming one after another.
The streets are lined with all kinds of breakfast delicacies, and the air is filled with the smell of various foods. The hot steam from the steamer mixed with the aroma of meat buns makes passers-by salivate.
Wen Luoxin was no longer confined to the courtyard like before, unable to go anywhere. On the contrary, she now had the princess's trust and could come and go freely in the princess's mansion.
She was wearing a plain cloak with the brim of her hat slightly lowered, covering half of her face. She walked hurriedly through the crowd and turned into a dark alley.
The alley was damp and cold, a stark contrast to the bustling streets. She paused, her fingertips gently stroking the secret letter in her sleeve, waiting for someone to arrive.
Soon, a slender figure appeared at the entrance of the alley, its outline blurred against the morning light.
The man approached slowly, his clothes were simple and plain, but his aura made people know that he was extraordinary.
Wen Luoxin stared at him, and the scene of their first meeting unconsciously emerged in her mind.
Every time they met after that, the strong and deep aura of this person became stronger, but she knew very well how powerful his ability to endure and disguise was.
And he is only just 20 years old.
Sima Shaoyu stood in front of her, his eyes dark, his voice low and cold: "Madam Wen, you are quite courageous. You dare to meet the prince of the enemy country alone in a place like this."
Wen Luoxin raised her eyes, the corners of her lips slightly raised, but there was no smile in her eyes: "Isn't the Third Prince here too? It seems that the prince is not completely uninterested in my proposal."
Sima Shaoyu said sarcastically, "You said you would help me seize the throne of Xiyuan and sign a trade agreement between our two countries? Ha, why should I believe you?"
"In the entire Anyang royal family today, my son is the only heir to the throne." Wen Luoxin said calmly, as if she didn't think what she said was ridiculous.
Sima Shaoyu's expression changed, and his eyes changed from casual to inquiring.
After a long pause, he sneered, "Let's not talk about whether what you said is true or not. Even if it is true, the emperor has countless concubines in his harem, and it's only a matter of time before she becomes pregnant with a dragon seed."
Hearing this, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in Wen Luoxin's eyes, but her tone remained steady: "That's why I need your Highness's help to push the emperor's situation... a little further."
Sima Shaoyu stared at her gravely: "You want to..."
"I want him to have no chance of giving birth to a dragon heir." She smiled faintly, but her eyes were like a cold pond. "When the time is right, I will help Your Highness ascend the throne. The two countries will trade with each other and each will benefit from what they need. And Your Highness, you only need to take advantage of this opportunity when the envoys come to seek peace..."
Sima Shaoyu was silent for a moment, his eagle-like eyes seemed to be able to see into the other person's heart.
He said in a low voice: "You are more cruel than I thought, but how can you be sure that the emperor will agree?"
Wen Luoxin raised her eyes and looked him straight in the eye: "If I'm not ruthless, how can I achieve my goal? As for your concerns, don't worry, I have a way to make him agree."
Sima Shaoyu chuckled softly and replied, "Okay, I promise you. After all... when we were in northern Jiangsu, Madam saved me again, and I've always been grateful for what I've received."
If it weren't for the pill Wen Luoxin gave him, he wouldn't have known that Xiao Yunyu's wife actually had such a magical medicine in her hands.
Whether it's a magic medicine that saves lives or a poison that makes people lose their memory, it's all very interesting.
As the morning light grew brighter, the voices outside the alley were still noisy, while inside the alley, the two figures went their separate ways.
Wen Luoxin put on the hood of her cloak again and hurriedly left the morning market on East Street.
At the corner, the two men in black looked at each other and continued to follow closely.
At the Xiao Mansion, Xiao Yunchen, who usually goes out early and comes back late, took a rare day off today. After breakfast, he came to Shuixie Residence to find Xiao Yunyu.
After Xiao Yunyu returned to the capital, he safely handed over the Xiyuan envoys to other officials in the capital, and then he had completely free time.
