During the time when the Alliance Leader's Mansion was preparing for the wedding, Zhao Qingxue stayed in the Snow Courtyard and did not go out.
At night, the clouds and rain stopped.
The man held her in his arms as they lay on the bed, tenderly kissing the tears from the corners of her eyes. Zhao Qingxue let him kiss her, staring blankly at the ceiling of the bed.
"But what's on your mind?" The voice, as soft as broken jade, was exactly the same as Bai Qiuchen's.
Zhao Qingxue's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her watery eyes still contained a hint of charm that had not yet dissipated. She smiled slightly, as if the most gorgeous flower in the world was slowly blooming.
The man's eyes darkened slightly, and he couldn't help but kiss her cheek. Ever since he met her, all his composure and calmness had vanished into thin air, and he became unlike himself.
He really loves her.
"I'm wondering when the leader will bring back the Ice and Fire Silkworm." Zhao Qingxue panted slightly and found a comfortable position in his arms. "I didn't know my eyes could be cured before. I thought it would be like this for the rest of my life. Now... I haven't seen enough of the scenery in this life. There are still many places I haven't visited. I want to go back to my hometown and see my childhood playmates."
She said this with a smile, but the man felt an unknown sadness. He tightened his arms around her waist, and his tall and slender but not rough body wrapped around her, giving her a wonderful sense of security.
He rubbed the top of her head, his warm breath hitting her ear, and said, "We will find the Ice and Fire Silkworm. When your eyes are healed, we will bathe in the misty rain of Jiangnan together, stroll in the misty willows and cloud alleys, and go to the northern frontier to see the three thousand white snows and the Yellow River, and the Gobi and stone forests. The wind blowing through the stone forest is like the cry of ghosts. If you are afraid, hide in my arms, I will protect you."
Zhao Qingxue smiled and replied softly, "Okay."
She seemed to have infinite longings. The man did not sleep all night, looking at Zhao Qingxue's profile, struggling in his heart for a long time, and finally made a decision.
The day before Bai Qiuchen and Liu Yarou got married, Bai Qiuchen came to Xueyuan and told Zhao Qingxue that the ice and fire silkworm had been found.
Before Zhao Qingxue could be happy, she heard Bai Qiuchen say, "Rou'er has been poisoned and needs the Ice and Fire Silkworm. Tomorrow's wedding cannot be delayed."
Zhao Qingxue opened her mouth, but her several questions were suppressed. She sat with her head down, not saying a word.
Bai Qiuchen turned his head away: "I know you're reluctant, but there's no choice in this matter. The date has been set, and the invitations have been sent out. If anything goes wrong, it will be a disgrace to the entire Alliance Leader's Mansion."
It's a disgrace to you.
Zhao Qingxue asked him, "What kind of poison has Liu Yarou been poisoned by? Does it require the Ice and Fire Silkworm to cure it?"
Bai Qiuchen didn't know either.
He had just obtained the Ice and Fire Silkworm when Liu Yarou got into trouble and fell into a coma. The court doctor said that other methods could cure her, but it would take at least three days. The Ice and Fire Silkworm could detoxify the fastest and would not affect tomorrow's process.
He is the leader of the alliance and has no choice. If his prestige is lost, how can he convince the martial arts world in the future?
"You don't believe me?"
It was this sentence again. It was because I believed him last time that I almost died at the hands of a flower thief.
Zhao Qingxue felt a surge of irritation. She raised her head and said stubbornly, "How can I trust you if you don't explain? Didn't you promise me one condition? I'll use this condition in exchange."
Bai Qiuchen looked at her and frowned: "You shouldn't be like this."
"So what do you think I should do?"
Sure enough, the conditions were just a temporary idea. No matter how good they were, the decision was not in her hands. She had no way to do anything if Bai Qiuchen was unwilling.
Their relationship was not equal, and he had never treated her as an equal, so if he didn't keep his promise to her, it wouldn't count.
They had been whispering in each other's ears for a few days, and all the sweet words they said in bed were lies. He only treated her as a toy for entertainment, someone who could be treated casually and discarded at any time.
She once again thought about escaping.
Looking at her slightly red eyes, Bai Qiuchen softened his tone and said, "I promise you that after tomorrow I will go to the polar regions to find the Ice and Fire Silkworms. Your eyes will definitely be cured."
So don't rush.
Zhao Qingxue knew that he had made up his mind and would not change it easily. No matter how much she said, it would be useless. She was just unwilling to give in.
"Since the leader has already made the choice for me, then I will just follow his arrangements. Why bother telling me all this? Biluo, show me off."
She seemed angry.
Bai Qiuchen turned around and told her to calm down first. He would come to apologize to her after he finished all the matters. He would also give her the child.
...dividing line...
On the top floor of the nine-story tower, a man is leaning on the railing to look at the moon.
From the moment he made the decision to give the Ice and Fire Silkworm to Bai Qiuchen, he could no longer possess her openly. When her eyes are healed, she is so beautiful, Bai Qiuchen will definitely take her to his hometown to see her.
Otherwise... he would have to do it himself.
He was a man of no morals. If he hadn't worried that she wouldn't be able to accept it, he would have snatched her away and personally handed the Ice and Fire Silkworm to her.
As for Liu Yarou's matter, his master is dead and cannot be brought back to life. As I said before, he has no morals and is a master killer. It is rare that he can help fulfill the two conditions.
A subordinate reported: "Master, the latest news is that Bai Qiuchen wants to give the Ice and Fire Silkworm to his concubine Liu Yarou to detoxify!"
"What?!" The man was angry. He had already prepared himself to lose Zhao Qingxue, but Bai Qiuchen didn't cherish the beauty and actually did such a thing.
He was so angry.
Relying on his superior martial arts skills, he sneaked into the leader's residence like a ghost, condensed the energy with his fingertips and knocked over the medicine made of ice and fire silkworms in the maid's hand. When Bai Qiuchen was furious, he escaped without a trace with his excellent lightness skills.
The sound startled Zi Yu and Lan Che in the mansion.
"What happened?"
Bai Qiuchen calmed down his anger and explained the whole thing. Lan Che had a complicated expression.
"So you gave the ice and fire silkworms that were originally intended for your wife to treat her eyes to her second wife to detoxify her, and someone knocked them over?"
