The man left with his men without any doubt or hesitation.
But he felt that the road was getting more and more wrong. After reaching the old locust tree, it seemed that there were not many houses here. However, he was not familiar with this place after all, so he continued to walk along the road pointed by the woman just now.
but……
This is a desolate land, surrounded by dry trees, their branches twisted and stretched towards the sky like hungry hands.
The leaves have long since fallen and are scattered all over the ground. When the wind blows, the fallen leaves dance in the wind, making a rustling sound, which makes people feel endless desolation.
They stood there, and everywhere they looked was dead silence, with only the whistling of the wind blowing through the branches and the rustling of the leaves rubbing against the ground, intertwined together.
This is not the Yong'an Marquis Mansion at all, it is clearly a charity cemetery, and they came at a very inappropriate time, as two corpses of unknown cause were brought back.
"Master, I'm afraid we've been tricked by that woman. This is clearly a charity cemetery."
The person who was called master was naturally the prince of Qing, Ji Zhi. He had believed in gods and Buddhas since he was a child. This time when he came to Xiali Kingdom, he specially asked a master to tell his fortune for him. The master said that everything would be fine, and only then would he agree to the task arranged for him by his father.
But he felt really uncomfortable when he saw such an unlucky scene just after arriving.
He turned and left, and the people following him hurried to catch up.
"Find out who that woman is. I'm going to make her pay."
"yes!"
Rong Xi smiled when she saw all this on the system interface. She was not worried that they would find out about her.
She often went out these days, wearing the clothes of an ordinary lady. She also deliberately parted a strand of hair down as bangs to cover most of her face. Her face was densely covered with pockmarks, and there were many pockmarks on it. It would be a dream to recognize her.
But it was worth it that she waited here for so long. She was afraid that Qingguo would not come to ask her, so she used her mental power to do some small tricks.
The effect was indeed pleasing to the eye. She was happy to see the gloomy look on the face of the Prince of Qing.
At this moment, she also arrived at the inn where they lived. There were two guards guarding the door. It could be seen that both of them were quite skilled. Rong Xi had thought about knocking them out before she saw them.
But after seeing them, he decided to use his mental power to prepare the drug.
She gradually realized that her mental power did not seem to be as effective as expected for those who possessed powerful martial arts or deep internal strength.
However, things are not absolute. If the opponent is still powerful but has no scheming and no defense, then her mental power can easily invade the opponent's mind.
This was also the result she obtained after having someone conduct an experiment at the Governor's Mansion.
Needless to say, the two men in front of him were very skilled in martial arts and were very vigilant. Although they were guarding the door, they were still observing their surroundings vigilantly.
Rong Xi walked over so brazenly, and as expected, the two men immediately drew their swords and said to her fiercely, "Who are you to leave here?"
"My two brothers, I think you must be tired after standing here for so long. I will bring you some food."
"Take it, we don't need it."
These two men did not think that the woman came simply to bring them food. They did not want to fight, so they naturally hoped to scare her away with their ferocity, which would save a lot of trouble.
"Why are you so fierce? Look..."
Rong Xi flicked her handkerchief, and the drug filled the air. "What food did I bring you?"
The two guards immediately realized that something was wrong and wanted to cover their mouths and noses, but it was too late. In addition, Rong Xi was well prepared and used his mental power as soon as they took the medicine. Their eyes immediately became empty and they could not focus on what they saw.
Rong Xi didn't stay for long, he quickly opened the door and walked inside.
The place was quite tidy. Rong Xi took a look around before being attracted by the scroll in front of his bed.
She recognized the core of this scroll, as she had someone send it to Qing Kingdom two months ago.
When the scroll was opened, the woman inside was as beautiful as a fairy, and her delicate appearance made people feel pity for her.
The person in the painting is naturally the Fifth Princess, the culprit who sent the original owner to Qing Kingdom to marry her instead.
When Rong Xi was painting her portrait, he deliberately ignored her flaws. With such a beauty, it was hard to believe that the Prince of Qing would not be moved.
There were two scrolls inside. Rong Xi picked up one at random and slowly opened the scroll. As expected, it was his own portrait.
Needless to say, this must be the work of the Fifth Princess. I think she sent it out before she married Shen Ze'an. I just don't know what her intention was. If she wanted to marry, why did she paint herself so ugly?
Although she was indeed pale and thin at that time, even now she had only used half of the beauty pills to remove the yellowness from her body, and had not touched anything else.
She exchanged pen and ink from the system and made a lot of changes to the portrait, which was not very good to begin with.
Just a few more strokes on the eyebrows make the originally thin eyebrows become thick and ugly, and a few more strokes on the small lips make them look not only thick but also a little crooked.
With Rong Xi's help, her slender figure became extremely bloated, and even her smooth face was covered with many spots.
"Done."
Rong Xi also opened the last scroll, and found that it contained a portrait of the queen, which she had never expected.
Then who sent this painting to Qing Kingdom and what was the purpose? You must know that Queen Duan married into the palace four years ago, and judging from the ink marks on this portrait, it can only be no more than three months.
Could it be the emperor? But how is that possible? She is his wife.
No wonder it was the Fifth Princess, but Queen Duan also doted on the Fifth Princess, and with her mental strength, there was no reason for her to do this.
Rong Xi couldn't figure it out, so he could only remind the Queen when the time comes. After all, she didn't make things difficult for him when he was in the palace, and she even sent him a lot of things when he just came out of the cold palace.
Shi Xu also added a few strokes to Empress Duan's portrait. Seeing that it was almost time, Rong Xi put the portrait back to its original place and left.
It was not until she walked out of the inn and snapped her fingers that the two guards on the upper floor slowly woke up.
I feel dizzy and like I've forgotten something.
I asked my companion if he had the same problem, but the other person, who was also afraid of something happening, denied it outright, saying that he had been fine all the time and there had been no abnormalities.
The man felt confused. The feeling he had just had seemed very wrong, but he couldn't figure out exactly what was wrong.
Since his companions said there was no problem, he simply didn't think too much about it. Maybe he was just overthinking it.
After finishing his work, Rong Xi returned to the mansion but was punished...
