Chapter 774 Summer Heat

Spring rain moistens everything, moistening everything for three months.

In the end, Helian Tuo's meeting with the woman that night did not attract anyone's attention.

The Prince Li's Mansion remained silent, and the secret guards sent by Helian Yue to monitor it daily did not send back any special news.

On the contrary, there were several families in the clan who had been very active since King Cheng imprisoned them. Helian Yue took the opportunity to punish them and formally put the clan reform on the agenda. Naturally, he was met with opposition. When the opposition was most intense, the queen mother became ill from anger.

Then, the children of several clan relatives who had been sent to amuse the Empress Dowager were forced to stay in the palace to "attend to her illness".

The clan members who were supposed to take their children home every five or six days were unable to do so and were instantly confused. Several clan wives immediately went to the palace to find the empress dowager, saying that the children were not capable of taking care of the sick and that they should find someone else.

The Queen Mother looked gloomy, but nodded when she heard this.

"Well, the child can't do this, so please stay in the palace to accompany me, so that you can take care of the child."

These few words confused the wives of the clan members, but they had no way of refusing.

After going into the palace, not only did he fail to get the child out, but he was also thrown in.

Those clan members were really dumbfounded, but they were not stupid. They knew that the Queen Mother was cooperating with the Emperor, and they regretted their decision to send their own children into the palace to accompany the Queen Mother.

Now that his children and wife were detained in the palace, those clan relatives could only follow the emperor's wishes.

This is often the case. When a group of people unite to resist, no matter how strong the external forces are, they will not be able to break through for a while.

But when one or two people in this group start to defect, it's like a hole in the dam has been broken, and the remaining people can only be destroyed.

The voices against the reform weakened, and Helian Yue took advantage of the situation and became entangled. By the time the reform was finally finalized, it was already July.

…

Inside Yuxiu Palace, Si Linglong was almost leaning against the ice mirror, feeling the chill emanating from it, and she seemed to come alive again.

Next to her is Hua Yan.

Seeing that the two men were almost sticking their bodies to the ice mirror, Shu Hong stepped forward helplessly and pulled them away one by one.

"The cold is harmful to the body, Madam, please don't get so close."

Si Linglong was pulled away, her expression fell, "But I'm hot."

Hua Yan, who was standing by, simply broke away from Shu Hong's hand and hesitantly moved towards the ice mirror again, still saying in a very righteous manner, "I am not a human, I am not afraid of the cold, I can move."

She is a fish and is more afraid of heat than humans.

Shu Hong looked at the two of them and didn't know what to do with them.

Qinglv, who was standing by, was fanning herself gently with a fan in her hand, and her mouth was a little bitter. "It's really hot today. It's only July, but the sun seems to be melting people. It's not so bad in our palace, but the little palace maids running around outside are really suffering."

"Let's ask the kitchen to make some icy green bean soup." Si Linglong said, "Make more so that the palace servants working outside can also have a bowl."

Qinglu smiled when she heard this, "Your Majesty is kind-hearted. I will send someone to give the order."

Si Linglong called her again, "Bring back some more milk, Xue Sha likes milk."

As he said this, he waved his hand as if he had thought of something, "Forget it, she's probably in Baohua Palace again, Yuan Zun will prepare food for her, so just ignore her."

Si Linglong couldn't remember when it started, it seemed like it was during those few days when she was busy saving her brother and setting a trap in Prince Li's Mansion, Xue Sha hadn't shown up in front of her much.

When asked later, I found out that the person had run to Baohua Hall.

I used to go there only every few days, but now I go there every day.

Si Linglong went to look for people several times but came back empty-handed. The rare time she found someone, she saw Xue Sha sitting on the bed with his big tail hanging out behind him. His little face was full of joy as he held his fluffy and plump tail and protected his fur.

Si Linglong found the scene magical and adorable, and realized that Xue Sha could now control his tail and other features with ease.

When it was a fox, it paid great attention to the care of its hair. I didn't expect that after it became a human, it would let out its tail to protect its hair.

And I don’t know if it’s Si Linglong’s illusion, but I always feel that Xueshan’s tail is now more than twice as big as when she was still a fox.

Later, Si Linglong also asked Xue Sha about protecting the fur on the tail. Xue Sha mumbled that all foxes do this. Seeing that she didn't have any other problems, Si Linglong stopped paying attention.

But when she mentioned the snow killing again and looked at the bright sun outside, Si Linglong found it a little unbelievable.

"It's so hot, it's hard for her to have the energy to go out."

Hua Yan, who was standing by, nodded in agreement.

After Hua Yan changed back to her original appearance, she often followed Xue Sha around as a maid, but she had to go out in such hot weather, so Hua Yan couldn't follow her.

Now she just wanted to hold the Empress's ice mirror and stay in this room without moving.

Hearing this, Xixi raised her eyelids. She had just been sleeping lazily on the small couch beside her. Although she was covered in fur, she didn't look like she couldn't stand the heat.

As alien beasts, this kind of weather change actually has little impact on them. The same goes for Xuesha, who is naturally full of energy.

He took another look at the beautiful face that looked like it was about to fade away, and was silent for a moment, silently supplementing himself in his heart.

Well, except for the mermaids.

Seeing that there was no one else in the room, Xiaoxiao simply stood up and walked to Si Linglong, and said, "This year's summer heat is indeed worse than in the past. With this kind of drought, I think some strange beasts must have arrived in Yongjing."

朏朏 said this so suddenly that Si Linglong was stunned for a moment. She almost didn't realize what this weather had to do with the exotic beasts.

The next second, she suddenly understood, and thought of the records of various exotic beasts in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, her eyes widened.

"Are you saying that a monster that can cause drought has come to Yongjing?!"
