would you still help him""Which eye of the Empress Dowager sees me helping her I simply don't want Concubine Shu to remain here. And, with the Empress Dowager's recent attitude, how can I believe you...Dugu Xiu's words made Bi Suo's hand tremble, his palm sweating, "I just don't want you to die without knowing why. If I kill you, I will also make sure you die with understanding."

Then you do it.

Dugu Xiu roared at her, the sword in his hand made her tremble. He slashed across his neck, blood flowed even more, and Bi Fang's hands trembled even worse. Why didn't she dare to use force As long as she used a little force, Dugu Xiu would be dead.

But she couldn't bring herself to do it. Why

Dugu Xiu reached out and grabbed the hilt of her sword, blood flowing from his palm. His expression was startled. "What are you doing Let go!" he blurted out in panic, trying to pull back his sword.

"Not wanting to kill me Then just do it! I'll even help you."

Dugu Xiu's fierce gaze made Pi Shuang loosen her grip on the sword hilt and retreat repeatedly, shouting at him, "Madman."

After scolding, she ran out of the tent. Dugu Xiu watched the soldiers who were about to chase after her and coldly shouted, "Don't chase, let her go."

"My lord, why are you doing this She's an assassin."

"Let her go, this is what I owe her."

Dugu Xiu painfully closed his eyes, after a while he threw the sword to the ground. The military camp was in disarray, Dugu Xiu's old wounds were aggravated, and the atmosphere in the camp became heavy.

Poison ran out of the tent, sprinting all the way to the edge of the cliff. He knelt on the ground, unable to control his sobs, "Xi'er, I'm sorry. I couldn't avenge you. I couldn't do it. I really couldn't."

"That's because you weren't ruthless enough. Nothing is impossible in this world. If you truly want revenge, I could help you."

A figure stood behind Arsenic, who turned to look at the person before him. Seeing the outstretched hand and frantic eyes, Arsenic...

"Who are you"

"I can help you get revenge, as long as you come with me. I will make sure you have your revenge and get it with your own hands. How about that"

Arsenic looked at him, her eyes hesitant. The man spoke first, "Think of those who sacrificed for you, and those who harmed you but lived well. Don't you want revenge"

Feng Linglong's smile appeared in her mind, Bi Xiang extended his hand, his eyes firm.

"I just want to kill her."

"Come with me."

That man let out a strange smile, and arsenic followed him as he left the land that belonged to the Yuan Dynasty.

In the Prince's Mansion, Huangpu Qingyun guarded Feng Lingxi's bedside for another night. He didn't let go of her hand all night, which had spread throughout the Prince's Mansion. Most importantly, Huangpu Qingyun didn't mean to take her hand away, allowing her to grasp it all night.

He could feel her terror, anxiety, and fear from the grip of her hand. His hand was like her only lifeline, her only support. Huangfu Qingyun frowned. She had been burning with a high fever all night, coming down only to rise again repeatedly until dawn, when it finally stabilized. The entire Prince's Mansion had been busy all night long.

"Your Highness, the young lady's fever has subsided. You should rest as well; you haven't slept all night."

Huángfǔ Qīngyún looked at her clutching his hand and said softly, "Go get a cloak for this palace. This palace needs to rest for a while."

"Your Highness, the Emperor just sent word that he wants you to come to the palace."

Unlike other countries, the Crown Prince's Mansion in the Chao Dynasty during the scorching summer was different. After reaching fifteen years old, at the request of Huangpu Qingyun, a mansion was built outside the palace for him.

"Tell Father I'll be a little late."

Emperor Fei Qingyun tried to pry Feng Lingxi's hand away, but she held on too tightly. It took him a while to finally wrench her hand loose.

"Take good care of her."

Palace of the Summer Emperor.

Huangfu Qingyun paid respects to his parents, and as he looked at the smiles on their faces, a fatigue he couldn't hide showed on his handsome features.

"Another night without sleep"

The Empress took his hand, gently patted it and said, "Your mother intends to go with your father to find the Sacred Lord of the Yao Clan. If she truly is your betrothed princess, we can then finalize this marriage."

Huangfu Qingyun hurriedly said, "Mother Empress, this matter is not urgent. She has not yet awakened. The Yao Clan always dislikes being disturbed. If we go there presumptuously, it might cause unnecessary misunderstandings. The people of Aohua would not agree either."

"This..."

The Emperor and Empress exchanged a glance, looking into the determined gaze of Princess Qingyun. “Yun’er means to wait until she wakes up before asking”

"The son doesn't want her to feel that we saved her for the sake of the Yao Clan and the marriage between Aohua and Xia."

He could feel so much happening to her. If she was frightened again by the betrothal between the Yao Clan and the Arah Summer, he didn't know if she could bear it.

"You're afraid she'd dislike you if she knew about this, aren't you"

Huangpu Qingyun's eyes were a little complicated when his mother said this. He did think that way after all, she had the Zi Xing, and it was very likely that she would be his wife before he took her in as his empress. He didn't want to misunderstand anything between them.

"Your Majesty, let Yun'er handle this. I believe he can manage it well." The Emperor spoke, looking at his silent son. "Yun'er, your father and I have no opinions on the decision we made for you, but I want to remind you, the purple star on this girl may not belong to her. Her background, once she wakes up, you must ask her clearly."

"The son understands."

"Go on."

Having left the palace, Huangfu Qingyun did not return directly to the Prince's Mansion but went to the cliff where he had rescued the young woman. He searched the area but saw no one. He instructed his men to keep an eye out for anyone looking for her and then returned home.

Ye Xi and Xiao Li returned to Linxi County after their fruitless search. Dugu City had already woken up, but he was too weak to travel and was left by General Li in the county to recuperate.

"Lord, here are my subordinates."

Du Gu Cheng saw Ye Xi, and immediately got up from his bed. His pale handsome face had no trace of blood color, and he hurriedly asked, "Ye Xi, do you have any news about Xi'er"

"My lord, it's time to take your medicine."

Dugu Cheng heard the word "medicine," his face changed drastically, "Take it away, this king won't drink any medicine without news of Xi'er."

If Xi'er were to die, he wouldn't want to live either.

Ye Xi took the bowl of medicine and handed it to Dugu City, "Your Majesty, drink the medicine first. If you don't drink the medicine, how can you find your Consort"

Dugu Cheng's eyes lit up, excitedly grabbing Ye Xi's arm, "Do you mean Xi'er is still alive"

Ye Xi nodded, "After drinking the medicine, I slowly told the King about it."

Dugu Cheng finished the medicine in one gulp and immediately asked, "Ye Xi, tell this king, where is Xi'er"

"My subordinates and Xiao Li searched for two days and nights at the bottom of the cliff but could not find the remains of the princess. My subordinates are certain that the princess is still alive and must have been rescued by someone. The area near the cliff belongs to the territory of the Huang Xia Dynasty, where hunters often go up the mountain. My subordinates have sent people to continue searching."

Dugu Cheng let go of Ye Xi's hand, his eyes filled with loss.

"That is to say, you still haven't found Xi'er."

"My Lord, since we haven't found the Queen, it means she is still alive. Does my Lord wish for me to find her body instead"e charges above, each one clearly written, accusing you."Luo Ze looked at Dugu Cheng, his eyes full of confusion."My Lord, this young woman is one of your concubines...""Shut your mouth!
