After the emperor returned to the palace, the first thing he did was to order people to find out where Qin Xuezhen had been moving around during this period and who was around her.
During the day, Tangxi Cheng mingled with the crowd, waiting to see how Qin Xuezhen's affairs would develop.
As a result, this stupid woman actually killed herself. Tang Xichen didn't want to pay any attention to her and turned around to go back.
As soon as he arrived at his residence, he found that officers and soldiers were searching.
At this moment, Tang Xicheng thought that he had been implicated by Qin Xuezhen, and the emperor was most likely looking for her accomplices.
So he was too scared to go back. If he was caught, his trip to Wengcheng would be delayed.
At the same time, as the sky gradually darkened, Qin Xuezhen's physical condition recovered a little and the system also recovered.
【Host, are you okay? 】
Qin Xuezhen was lying there, breathing slightly. The people guarding her were sitting around her, gathering in groups of three or four to rest.
Fortunately, no one noticed her, which gave Qin Xuezhen a chance.
"How dare you say that? You actually abandoned me at the critical moment. What the hell is this thing you gave me? Why did I get an electric shock when his blood was splashed on me?"
[Host, please use your intelligence. This invisible cloak carries electricity. Water and blood are both conductive.]
[Stop giving me scientific advice and get me out of here!]
[Since the host has now reunited with the male protagonist, I can provide you with a prop, the incense. Please use it with caution.]
As soon as the system finished speaking, a piece of yellow incense appeared in Qin Xuezhen's hand. The incense had been lit and emitted a faint white smoke.
All the soldiers who smelled the white smoke fell directly to the ground, and Qin Xuezhen left in such a dignified manner.
But what he didn't know was that all this was seen by the emperor's personal guards.
The emperor knew that it might not be so easy for him to capture Tangxi City, so he ordered people to secretly keep an eye on Qin Xuezhen.
He felt that this woman must have a way to escape, and would definitely go to Tangxi City, thus trapping them together.
Although he couldn't kill the male and female protagonists, he could use them to exchange for things to make up for the Chixiao Kingdom's hostility towards him in the past two years.
The emperor's guess was correct. Qin Xuezhen had indeed escaped and immediately asked the system to help him find Tangxi City.
At this time, Tangxicheng was packing up his things and planning to go to Wengcheng overnight. As a result, Qin Xuezhen suddenly broke in and scared him.
"Acheng! I escaped."
Poor Qin Xuezhen didn't even find a bronze mirror to see what she looked like after she escaped.
After the electric shock, her whole body turned black and her hair was messy. Now when she smiled, she showed her big white teeth. If someone who didn't know her thought she saw a ghost, they would think she had seen a ghost.
There was also dog blood on her body, which had been marinated for a whole day, and she smelled extremely bad.
So when she reached out to hug Tang Xicheng, Tang Xicheng jumped three feet high in fear and ran away.
"Don't come over here! How did you escape without being caught up?"
Seeing him like this, Qin Xuezhen felt a little aggrieved. If she hadn't helped him achieve his great ambitions, how could she have become like this? And yet he still despised her.
"No one is following me. Why are you hiding from me, Ah Cheng?"
Tang Xicheng couldn't help but sigh. After feeling a bronze mirror in his arms, he threw it to Qin Xuezhen.
"Look at what you look like now!"
Qin Xuezhen hadn't reacted yet and started looking at herself in the bronze mirror. Just one look scared her so much that she screamed and the neighbor's dog started barking.
"Ah! How could I be like this?"
Qin Xuezhen was collapsing on this side, but the system over there was extremely happy.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the relic of the male protagonist's mother. This is an important prop, please keep it safe.]
Qin Xuezhen looked at the bronze mirror that she had thrown on the ground, still feeling a little unbelievable.
"Are you sure? He just gave me something so important?"
What Qin Xue really didn't know was that in the original plot, the male protagonist gave her this bronze mirror in exchange for her wholeheartedly helping him achieve his goal.
As to whether it is really the relic of his deceased mother, perhaps only the male protagonist himself knows.
"Acheng, are you going to give this mirror to me?"
Tang Xicheng then noticed that the mirror he had just given away was something he had always carried with him and usually used as a heart-protecting mirror.
Such a bronze mirror can save your life at a critical moment, and it will not arouse suspicion when taken out. If someone asks, just say it is a relic of your deceased mother. It is convenient when you go out.
However, Qin Xue really didn't know and put the mirror away carefully.
"Thank you, Ah Cheng. I will treasure this precious gift."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tangxi City suddenly heard some strange sounds coming from outside.
"Shh, don't make any noise. Are you sure no one is following you?"
Qin Xuezhen shook her head in confusion. There should have been no one following her when she came here.
However, before she could finish her words, several men in black suddenly landed in the yard. Tang Xicheng was quite skilled in martial arts, so he reacted instantly and hurriedly blew out the lights in the house.
He knew that this woman must not be allowed to stay, so he ignored the disgust and grabbed her under his armpits and rushed out through the window.
Seeing this, the men in black outside immediately attacked.
Perhaps it was because the male and female protagonists were too powerful together, and these people either chopped their swords off-center or their hidden weapons missed the target.
In short, I just watched them both escape.
But after they escaped from the courtyard, someone still refused to give up and shot an arrow at Tangxi City.
I don’t know if it was because the plot was too powerful, but Tang Xicheng actually carried Qin Xuezhen on his back at this time and successfully blocked an arrow for himself.
"Ah! I was hit by an arrow."
Tang Xicheng didn't expect that this woman would become his shield at the critical moment.
"Just bear with it for a while. I'll heal your wounds after we escape."
How could Qin Xuezhen hold it in any longer? She immediately started calling the system.
[System, where the hell have you been? I've been shot, help me heal!]
[Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the mission of shielding the male protagonist from arrows and warming up their relationship. Reward: a human skin mask.]
【What!】
The people sent by the emperor had no choice but to return and report to the emperor because they failed to capture Qin Xuezhen and Tang Xicheng.
"Forget it. It's normal that you can't catch it. You can go down."
This made the emperor's close confidants a little depressed. What did they mean by "it's normal that they can't be caught"? Are they so weak in the emperor's heart?
Yao Guangyue didn't know all this at the time. After dealing with the goddess' affairs in the imperial city, it was time for her to move on to other places.
[System, we are leaving the palace! ]
