Chapter 389 Congratulations, Host, on dealing with the scheming female lead!
Xiao Tang was unaware of how she was eventually lifted onto the bed.
A cool breeze blew in.
The candlelight flickered eerily before going out instantly.
The firelight outside the tent shone brightly.
Xiao Tang felt dizzy and disoriented.
When they woke up the next day, all that was left on the ground outside the tent, where it had burned all night, was a pile of black ash.
Xiao Tang stood outside the tent curtain, staring at the pile of black ash, speechless.
Ruyi came over: "Your Highness, I had nightmares all night last night, sob sob sob."
That really scared her.
Xiao Tang patted her little head and gently comforted her: "It's okay, you coward, such a small setback has scared you into this state."
Ruyi shrank her neck. Although she knew Xiao Tang was disgusted by her timidity, she still felt that the princess's hands had magic.
I touched it like this.
Surprisingly, I'm not as anxious or panicked anymore?
How amazing!
Xiao Tang turned and went back into the tent.
Their gaze fell on the man in the distance who was already dressed.
His dark attire couldn't conceal the hormones emanating from him.
It's just a pity...
That super fragrant pill has failed.
Di Jingling no longer smelled of milk.
She pouted her little lips.
God knows how she and he could be so affectionate and lovey-dovey in such a terrifying atmosphere last night.
If Xiao Rou Rou were to transform into a vengeful ghost, she would be so enraged that she would vanish into thin air.
Thinking about this...
She suddenly remembered something, went out quickly to get a vermilion brush, dipped it in dog blood, and began drawing talismans on the black and gray snow.
It's probably a bit too late to do these things now.
Yan Shi and Ru Yi came over, but didn't dare to ask for a moment.
Because they rarely saw the princess so solemn and dignified.
At this moment, Qi Chen walked over and bowed to Xiao Tang, who was struggling to draw talismans. "Your Highness, as you instructed, I have already given the orders, but some medicinal herbs are still missing..."
Before he could finish speaking, a packet of medicine was suddenly thrown at him.
He was dumbfounded.
It's unbelievable how Xiao Tang could manage to toss him a packet of medicinal herbs while busy drawing talismans.
What's most puzzling is how Xiao Tang managed to carry such a large bag of medicinal herbs without anyone noticing?
Seeing his confusion, Xiao Tang said, "Yes, Hao Xian gave it to me. He sent people to bring the medicinal herbs over last night."
In order not to arouse suspicion, she had to lie through her teeth for this reason.
Just then, Di Jingling came out.
Qi Chen: "Uh..."
Because he saw the teeth marks on the regent's neck.
These must be the spoils of last night's battle; they don't seem like the medicinal herbs that the Regent was sent to prepare last night.
but……
Qi Chen wasn't stupid; he knew what he should ask and what he shouldn't.
He nodded calmly, "I'll go and have someone prepare the medicine right away."
As he left, he glanced at the bloodstains on the ground.
Don't say it.
The symbols drawn on the bloodstains, at first glance, seem like scribbles, but upon closer inspection, one can see that the bloodstains emit an eerie golden glow under the sunlight.
After several days of snow, the sun finally came out.
Xiao Tang put down the vermilion brush and said to Di Jingling, "Let's get back to the capital as soon as this is resolved."
[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have defeated the scheming female lead and received 100,000 points!]
She paused for a moment.
【凸(艹皿艹), is this innocent female lead really worth that many points?】
Yes, host!
[Damn it, why didn't you say so sooner? If you had, I would have grabbed my hundred-meter-long sword and killed this idiot right now!]
[Host, host, we still need to proceed step by step, right?]
That's a piece of yarn.
If she had known earlier that these two were so valuable, she would have killed them instead of curing the villain's poison.
By then, with all those accumulated points, we won't be led by the nose by this damn system.
The more I think about it, the angrier I get.
The system chose to remain silent.
There was no sound.
Xiao Tang excitedly grabbed Di Jingling's black sleeve, "Brother Hao Xian, we need to get back to the capital as soon as possible."
He then emphasized it again.
These words alone are enough to show how overjoyed she was.
She needs to go back immediately to deal with the male lead, so she can get double the points.
However……
She didn't see the man frowning.
After all, he was wearing a mask.
Even if she wanted to see, she couldn't.
Di Jingling calmly withdrew his sleeve, then carefully took her small hand in his, and whispered, "Okay, we'll go back once things are settled."
...
Inside the palace.
The news reached the palace two days later.
When the Empress Dowager heard that Xiao Tang was not dead and had even burned Xiao Rourou to death, she was truly shocked.
The old woman said, "But the princess has been in Beixiao City for quite some time now, and the regent has not gone with her. According to our informants, the regent's residence is empty."
So……
Where is the Regent?
Don't you even care about your own wife?
The Empress Dowager shook her head.
Her face looked rather pale.
After all, she knew that Di Yanhen's wife was Xiao Rourou, so it's easy to imagine how much she cared about Xiao Rourou.
But now Xiao Rourou has been burned to death by Xiao Tang?
She really had to look at Xiao Tang in a new light.
This woman is ruthless.
When he gets ruthless, even she, the Empress Dowager, is afraid of him.
"Mother! Mother!" The young emperor also heard the news and excitedly ran into Cihe Palace. "Mother, did you hear that? Ninth Princess has dealt with the bad guy!"
