Under the plum tree in full bloom, a woman in a flamboyant red dress and with long eyebrows reaching her temples, is dazzling and eye-catching.
Yuanfu's eyes widened in an instant, and his heart beat uncontrollably.
"Mr. Fu, Mr. Fu!"
The woman's delicate face was right in front of him. Yun Fu blushed and changed his tone: "Wang Ba... why did I bring you here? The wind is strong by the lake, Princess, please come this way." He took her to the guest room.
The boy looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, and the gorgeous fox fur coat made his figure look slender.
He walked very slowly and his face was pale, but his eyes were surprisingly bright when he talked to Xihe, and he talked incessantly. He asked Xihe how she was doing and what she was doing recently. The servant was stunned by what he heard. When did his young master become so talkative?
However, before the servant could come to his senses, he heard his master order: "Wang Ba, go and bring some tea."
The servant named Wang Xiaoer pointed at himself and said, "Sir, you call me little one?"
Yuanfu nodded calmly: "Well, go quickly."
Wang Xiaoer: ...When did he change his name?
The servant walked out of the guest room with a confused look on his face. Xihe couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "The name of the servant in Master Fu's family is... quite unique." When he heard it at first, he thought it was turtle.
Yuan Fu remained calm: "His preferences are different from others."
Suddenly, he paused, and said awkwardly, "Princess, could you please not call me 'Master Fu'..." He cursed the lousy Taoist priest for not being able to come up with a better name. 'Ba, Long, Kui', how impressive!
Xihe was stunned for a moment, then laughed stiflingly: "Okay, Master Yuan."
Yuanfu chuckled: "There's no need to call me Master~"
Xihe was surprised for a moment, but Yuanfu quickly changed the subject. Xihe smiled and took out the candy man he bought.
Yuanfu took it blankly: "Sugar man?"
Xihe nodded, tilted her head slightly, and said with a smile: "I think it's delicious."
When visiting the Yuan Mansion today, the palace maids naturally brought many expensive and rare gifts, but only this sugar man was selected by Xihe herself with her own money.
Yuanfu looked at the lifelike little pig and suddenly couldn't bear to eat it.
The sky outside the window changed from light to dark. Yuan Fu did not want to escape Xihe like the others did. Instead, he praised her from her clothes to the long whip in her hand, his face full of admiration: "It is worthy of being a long whip bestowed by the emperor. The color is bright and the momentum is fierce."
“Is the color bright?”
Xihe shook it, and suddenly there was a sound of breaking through the air, and it was powerful and majestic: "It has just been irrigated with blood."
Yuanfu's laughter stopped abruptly, and the servants in the room shrank their heads, remembering the princess's bad reputation outside, and trembled.
Xihe turned around and smiled: "I was just kidding."
Everyone: “…”
Do we believe you?
Xihe smiled and changed the subject. When the time was almost up, she stood up and said goodbye at the reminder of the palace servant. Yuanfu could only say, "Goodbye, Princess." He stood at the door and watched her back disappear at the end of the corridor for a long time without moving.
Wang Xiaoer's legs were stiff from standing so hard, and he couldn't help but poke his master: "Young Master?"
Yuan Fu was still looking eagerly. "I don't know why, but when I saw the princess today, my heart started beating like crazy. Wang Ba, do you think my illness has gotten worse?"
Wang Xiaoer was startled, and without even bothering to remind himself that his name wasn't 'Wang Ba', he hurriedly said, "I'll go get Doctor Liu right away!"
Doctor Liu was eating when a few servants drove him away without saying a word... After listening to Yuanfu's description of the symptoms, Doctor Liu gasped twice, "Oh my god, this kid really thinks he has a long life and dares to covet the princess!"
"That's right, you are sick. Don't go out recently and stay at home!"
Doctor Liu made a prompt decision.
Princess Jinrong, that bully, even General Gu was beaten to a pulp. You're just looking for death by taking three breaths.
After Gu Ye fainted, the Gu family was scared to death and invited almost all the doctors in the capital. Doctor Liu, as the chief physician of Huichuntang, was naturally among them. When they saw the back of General Gu, they were all shocked. This was too cruel!
When they found out that it was Princess Jinrong who gave the order, they all sighed. It seemed that General Gu could not escape the fate of being beaten by the princess.
When Doctor Liu heard that Yuanfu was actually interested in Princess Jinrong, he was so scared that his hands were shaking.
He quickly told him in detail what happened in the Gu Mansion today, and finally reminded him to cherish his life and stay away from Princess Jinrong.
Yuanfu nodded obediently, and as soon as the others left, he quickly asked Wang Xiaoer to investigate the details of the incident. After hearing that His Majesty agreed to cancel their engagement, his sleepy eyes brightened up.
He stretched out his hand and said, "Quick, bring the medicine to me!"
He wants to take medicine, he wants to get well soon, he wants to go find the princess!
Xihe, still unaware of Yuanfu's actions, returned to the palace before the key to the palace gates was locked. She ordered a servant to bring a basin of water and placed the crimson whip in it. Instantly, blood filled the water, and a faint glow appeared.
The dog tutted his words: "You are very brave. You are not afraid that he will kill you."
Xihe sneered: "Naive! If I behave myself, he won't kill me?" It's just a matter of sooner or later.
She took a look at the thick black-red blood and ordered, "Go find ten strong and loyal guards. Remember, be secretive." Sun Li went out without saying a word and soon returned with ten guards, followed closely by his godfather Sun De.
Sun De stepped forward with a smile: "This old servant pays homage to His Highness."
Xihe motioned him to stand up: "Is the emperor still busy?"
Sun De: "Your Majesty is still in the Imperial Study, discussing government affairs with the Prime Minister."
Xihe nodded. She asked the palace servant to bring a water jar, poured the black blood water in the basin into it, added a handful of herbs, and then gestured for them to drink a bowl each. Sun De raised his eyebrows slightly, but said nothing.
The guards took the bowl, tilted their heads back and drank it in one gulp without any hesitation.
Xihe tapped the gems on the bracelet with his fingers from time to time. Soon, a guard knelt down with a painful look on his face. Then, as if a chain reaction had started, one guard after another could not bear the pain and roared.
Blood oozed from his body, veins bulged, and bones made creaking sounds, which was extremely terrifying.
Xihe's lips curled slightly: "Go find someone else to finish the water."
Everyone: “…”
The yard grew increasingly quiet, with only the guards' painful wails as the sounds came into view.
The whole process lasted for more than an hour. Finally, for fear of disturbing the princess's rest, the guards were carried outside. For a moment, the quiet palace became even more gloomy and terrifying.
Xihe slept soundly and didn't wake up until dawn.
She was served by more than a dozen palace maids, and all she had to do the whole time was stretch her hands and lift her legs. When she changed into a light yellow palace dress and walked to the table to eat porridge, she noticed Sun Li's sparkling eyes.
She finished her meal leisurely, wiped the corner of her mouth, and stood up: "Let's go."
Sun Li immediately responded loudly: "Ai!"
She wanted to see what kind of transformation a mortal would become after drinking the blood of a god. Would he be qualified to become a divine weapon in her hands?
