Throughout the entire process, Tie Xiong remained calm and composed. He watched as Minister Li and the Li family woman were taken away without the slightest disturbance in his heart. He knew it was simply his duty, and he had successfully avenged Xu Yuehuai.
Qi Ziang watched all this from the shadows, and finally a relieved smile appeared on his lips.
With the capture of Minister Li and the Li family's daughter, the true culprit was finally brought to justice. The skies over the capital returned to tranquility and peace, as if nothing had ever happened.
But Tie Xiong, Qi Ziang, and the others knew that the story behind it was far more complex than it seemed. They would continue their investigation until they uncovered the whole truth.
Inside the palace, sunlight streamed through the exquisite window frames, casting dappled shadows on the opulent floor.
Xu Yuehuai stood in front of a window, her eyes filled with deep concern and determination.
Xiaolian sat on an exquisite wooden chair, her face pale, but she tried her best to remain calm.
Xu Yuehuai turned around and gently took Xiaolian's hand. Her voice was gentle yet firm: "Don't worry, if the Ghost Doctor comes to Da Zhou, he will definitely be able to cleanse the toxins from your body." Her eyes shone with trust and hope, as if the Ghost Doctor's arrival was just around the corner.
Xiao Lian looked at Xu Yuehuai gratefully, a tear glistening in her eyes: "Thank you so much, Your Highness, for taking care of everything for me." Her voice was weak, but full of gratitude.
Just then, Qi Zi'ang rushed into the palace, his face beaming with excitement: "Mother, sister-in-law, the person who hurt you has been caught! It was Minister Li and his daughter who did it! Of course, there may be other culprits behind this, and I will never let them go."
His voice revealed a resolute determination, a resolve to seek justice for Xu Yuehuai and Xiaolian.
Upon hearing the news, Xu Yuehuai smiled with relief: "Okay! Thank you so much this time!" Her eyes shone with admiration and gratitude for Qi Ziang.
Qi Zi'ang smiled, his face radiating an indescribable sense of pride and satisfaction. He knew that being able to contribute to his mother and sister-in-law was a great honor and happiness.
Next, Xu Yuehuai, Xiaolian, and Qi Ziang sat together to discuss their next plan, their faces filled with seriousness and sharpness.
The atmosphere inside the palace gradually became warm and harmonious. Sunlight streamed through the windows, illuminating their resolute figures. No matter what storms the future held, they would work together to protect each other's safety and happiness.
...
In the darkness of the border town, the Ghost Doctor's residence is hidden deep within an ancient bamboo forest, quiet and mysterious.
Moonlight filtered through the bamboo leaves, dappling his study. The Ghost Doctor, a legendary figure renowned for his exceptional medical skills, sat alone at his desk, studying a yellowed ancient book.
His eyes were deep and focused, as if they could see through all mysteries.
Suddenly, a soft knock on the door broke the silence of the night. The Ghost Doctor frowned slightly, put down the ancient book in his hand, and got up to open the door.
A man dressed in black stood outside the door, his face veiled in mystery, revealing only a pair of eyes that gleamed with a cold light. The man in black handed the Ghost Doctor a letter, then swiftly disappeared into the night.
The Ghost Doctor unfolded the letter and scanned its contents. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and his brows furrowed, as if he were pondering something important.
The letter was a secret message sent by Xu Yuehuai, requesting him to go to the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty to relieve Xiaolian's suffering.
Although the overall situation of the four kingdoms is the most important thing right now, the Ghost Doctor knows that Xu Yuehuai and Xiaolian's experiences are equally important to him.
He felt a strong sense of responsibility welling up inside him and decided to go to the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty in person.
The Ghost Doctor quickly packed his bags, putting some essential medicinal herbs and tools into an exquisite cloth bag.
He took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and stepped out of his dwelling. In the darkness, his figure quickly disappeared into the bamboo forest, leaving only a faint scent of medicine lingering in the air.
At the same time, Qi Guze's bodyguards noticed the Ghost Doctor's unusual behavior and quickly informed Qi Guze of the situation.
Qi Guze frowned slightly, pondering to himself, "Could the Ghost Doctor's departure from the border town at this time be related to Yue Huai?"
He immediately ordered his men to secretly follow the Ghost Doctor and find out his whereabouts and purpose.
However, when Qi Guze and his guards secretly followed the Ghost Doctor to a dense forest, they were suddenly stopped by a woman in a pink dress.
The woman had a beautiful face, but her eyes were unusually sharp. She held a long sword and moved with agility, clearly a master with superb skills.
"Who dares to block my way?" Qi Guze stopped and stared coldly at the woman in the pink dress.
"If you wish to travel to the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, you must first obtain the permission of the sword in my hand," the woman in the pink dress said coldly, her eyes revealing an unwavering determination.
Qi Guze stood in the night, moonlight shining on his face, adding a touch of mystery and depth to his handsome features. He smiled slightly, a smile that seemed to carry an innate arrogance, while a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.
He spoke calmly, his voice deep and powerful: "Why should I need anyone else's permission to act? If you want to stop me, then try your swordsmanship first."
The woman in the pink dress stood opposite Qi Guze. She had a beautiful face, but a hint of anger flashed in her eyes at this moment.
Without another word, she flashed forward, transforming into a pink afterimage as she attacked Qi Guze. Her swordsmanship was incredibly fast, the tip of her sword carrying a chilling light that seemed capable of slicing through the night sky.
"Whoosh—!"
Seeing this, Qi Guze swayed and skillfully dodged her attack. His movements were light and elegant, like a graceful butterfly dancing among the flowers.
"Clang clang!"
However, the woman in the pink dress was exceptionally skilled with her swordsmanship. Her figure appeared light and graceful in the moonlight, and each of her sword strikes carried a strong killing intent, creating a stark contrast with her appearance and making her a force to be reckoned with.
Her swordsmanship also contains a unique rhythm and tempo, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes light, sometimes heavy, making it difficult to grasp.
"If you want to harm our master, you'll have to ask for our permission first!"
"Let's all charge!"
"Capture her!"
Upon seeing this, the guards immediately rushed forward to attack. They were agile and their attacks were swift, but each attack was skillfully deflected by the woman in the pink dress.
Her swordsmanship seemed to possess a certain magic, making it impossible for the guards to predict her movements. Each clash of swords produced a crisp sound that echoed through the night sky.
The battle reached its climax. The woman in the pink dress moved erratically, sometimes as light as willow catkins, sometimes as fierce as a storm. Her swordsmanship grew faster and more ferocious, as if she wanted to envelop the entire world in her sword light.
Although the guards were brave, they gradually became overwhelmed by her attacks.
