For the next few days, Gong Yueyue lay in the cave in a daze, with water and rice not touching her teeth, and her whole body quickly lost weight.
"Hey, why do you torture yourself like this?"
A voice full of ridicule suddenly sounded: "A beautiful woman like a flower has turned into such a look. Even I can't bear to see her."
Gong Yueyue reluctantly opened her eyes and then closed them, but she heard the man's instructions: "Hurry up and take her down to eat and take a bath. She will have to meet guests soon. How can this be done?"
Two people came over, picked her up and walked out.
It wasn't until she felt warm water surrounding her that she felt more comfortable. When she opened her eyes, she saw the room was filled with mist, and several young women were holding flower petals and scattering them on her body.
"Who are you? What are you going to do?" Gong Yueyue said with a weak breath and some difficulty.
The women turned a deaf ear and just did what they were doing in an orderly manner.
Soon, her body took on a new look and she became refreshed. The maids helped her up, put her into clean clothes, and brought her to a square table filled with exquisite meals. Gong Yue
Yue picked up the bowl and chopsticks and ate slowly. She looked around at the women from the corner of her eyes, hoping to find some flaws. Unfortunately, she failed. Their expressions were extremely calm, like a pool of stagnant water.
.
Gong Yueyue was extremely disappointed - it was obvious that the people here had undergone long and harsh training and could not find out anything at all.
It wasn't until she was full that the maids took her outside. Gong Yueyue was surprised to find that the place she was just now was actually a luxurious palace that was as luxurious as the palace.
A soft sedan came slowly, and the white gauze hanging around it was blown by the wind and fluttered like clouds.
The maids surrounded her and boarded the soft sedan, which immediately floated lightly and headed diagonally forward, winding and twisting along the way. After about half an hour, it stopped outside another palace.
Gong Yueyue got off the sedan and stood on the ground, only to see sixteen handsome young men standing on the porch in front of them, all wearing the same clothes, with cold faces, like statues.
"Come in quickly, everyone inside is waiting impatiently." A sweet voice suddenly came. When Gong Yueyue looked up, she saw that it was the man who used the illusion in front of her that day.
Is this about to begin?
Gong Yueyue bit her lip and moved closer. He raised his hand and she was led into the hall by him as if there was a rope tied to her body.
The main hall was very large and magnificent. Directly in front of it was a high platform with a statue erected on it. However, these were the impressions she had swept away. Gong Yueyue's eyes then fell on the man standing at the foot of the steps, almost
He exclaimed, but felt a numbness in his back, and his whole body immediately froze, unable to move.
"Your Highness, the person you want has been brought to you. Take a good look to see if there is a hair missing."
Slowly, the man turned his head. The moment he saw her, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then disappeared.
"Did you do something to her?"
"No, she is the prince's sweetheart, how could we do anything to her?"
"Then why, when she saw me, she had such a strange expression and couldn't even say a word?"
"It's not easy to get her to talk." The strange man smiled faintly: "It's just that I don't want her to affect the deal between us, so that's why she becomes like this."
"But how can I trust you?"
"Okay." The strange man had no choice but to raise his hand again. Gong Yueyue immediately felt that his blood was flowing smoothly, and he immediately shouted: "Ah Chen! Little -"
After saying only three words, his body was frozen again.
"His Royal Highness, do you believe now that she is the one you miss deeply? If not, how could she warn her?"
"Okay." Ah Chen nodded: "Now let's talk about our deal."
"Very good." The man nodded: "Did you bring the things?"
"The things are not with me, but are in the hands of the king."
"Oh?" The man raised his eyebrows, but he was not surprised: "You have the right to enter and leave the palace now, can't you get it?"
"That thing is no longer in the palace, but went south with the king?"
"What did you say?!" The man was obviously surprised: "Did King Dongyuan take it away?"
"yes."
"So." The man's eyes turned cold: "I'm sorry, you can't take Gong Yueyue away from here."
"I came today and didn't want to take her away." Ah Chen said with a calm face, "I just want to tell you something."
"What's up?"
Ah Chen didn't say anything, he just raised his hand and threw a booklet over. The booklet made an arc and fell to the ground with a "pop".
The man was startled for a moment, then bent down to pick up the book, opened it and only glanced at it. His expression changed slightly, but then became calm: "Although these things you have mastered are important, they are not enough for our Tianting Palace."
A deadly threat."
"Yes." Ah Chen nodded without hesitation: "But similarly, you can't get the whole world with just one handed down jade seal!"
"Really?" The man seemed to disagree: "So, His Royal Highness does not intend to cooperate with us?"
Ah Chen didn't say anything, he just looked at Gong Yueyue steadily, as if asking for her opinion.
"Your Highness, you have to think about it." The man said coldly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Gong Yueyue felt a throbbing pain in her internal organs, and then she collapsed to the ground, moaning softly in her throat.
Ah Chen rushed forward and helped her up, but looked at the man with anger: "You, what on earth did you do to her?"
But the man spread his hands and looked innocent: "I didn't do this, but she asked for it - she was walking around in the palace, fell into the Burning Heart Pond, and was bitten by Lie Lin.
The poison is so severe that the jade dew I gave her can only relieve the pain temporarily. To completely remove the poison from her body, she needs to find three more things. Otherwise, she will have to struggle in a sea of fire every day in her life.
, it’s unspeakably painful.”
Ah Chen's drooping hands suddenly clenched tightly, and his face turned pale: "What three things are they?"
"Why should I tell you?" The man crossed his arms and said, "Your Highness, you rejected us first, so we didn't accompany you. Now you can take her away."
"You——" Achen gritted his teeth, almost spitting out fire.
"Achen." I raised my hand and held his arm: "You don't have to do this, I, I can..."
Before she finished speaking, Gong Yueyue collapsed on the ground again, her fingers digging into the ground, but she still couldn't hold back the intense pain all over her body.
"Okay, I will cooperate with you." Achen gritted his teeth: "Give me a month, and I will get the handed down jade seal, but before that, you have to guarantee that she will not suffer any pain!"
"That's right." A slight smile appeared on the man's face: "Your Highness, those who understand the current affairs are heroes. In fact, what's wrong with cooperating with our Tianting Palace? At least what we do is big business.
, you said, right?"
Ah Chen snorted coldly, bent down to help Gong Yueyue up, and said softly: "Can I still leave now?"
"Yes." Gong Yueyue stood up and followed him outside step by step.
It took about two hours before they walked out of the door. The four swordsmen were waiting outside, and they immediately greeted them when they saw them.
"Your Highness."
"Go back home." Achen's face was cold, and he personally put her into the carriage, and then he gave the order to set off.
As soon as she got on the carriage, Gong Yueyue lay down and fell asleep. She felt a soft cloak covering her body in a daze.
When he woke up again, he felt a soft light. Ah Chen was standing by the table with a thoughtful look on his face.
Gong Yueyue forced herself to sit up slowly.
"Are you feeling better now?" He walked over and looked at her steadily.
"Much better." Gong Yueyue raised her head and looked at him steadily: "Achen, what happened to that handed down jade seal?"
"This has nothing to do with you." He rejected her without hesitation: "You just need to take good care of yourself."
Jin'er stepped away, leaving Gong Yueyue sitting there blankly.
"What's wrong?" A voice suddenly sounded: "Why are you sitting here without saying a word? Who made you unhappy?"
Hearing this voice, Gong Yueyue's heart skipped a beat, and then she raised her head.
"Zhao Changyuan?" Gong Yueyue couldn't help but call out softly.
"You -" Zhao Changyuan looked at her thoughtfully: "Who seems to have offended you?"
"No." Gong Yueyue quickly shook her head: "I just feel a little uncomfortable."
"Really?" Zhao Changyuan sat down opposite her: "There is always a reason why a person is unhappy. Why didn't you say it?"
"No." Gong Yueyue said coldly.
He looked at her suspiciously: "Is it true?"
"of course it's true."
"Okay then." Zhao Changyuan stood up: "It seems that I am very unpopular here. Since that is the case, I will take the first step to save you from seeing me unhappy."
"Okay." Gong Yueyue was indifferent - in fact, at this time, she just wanted to be alone and ignore anyone.
Zhao Changyuan left, but he only reached the door and couldn't help turning his head to look at her.
Later, she often recalled that episode and understood the bondage and reluctance in his heart at that moment, but she did not hold back. Some things cannot be solved by two people together.
"Madam." I don't know how long it took, Jin'er walked to Gong Yueyue and lowered her voice: "Madam, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Jin'er goes and calls the doctor for you."
"No." Gong Yueyue waved her hands and said with a pale face: "Maybe I'm just being pretentious. It will be fine after a while."
Seeing that it was almost noon, Gong Yueyue stood up, supported Jin'er and slowly returned to the bedroom, where she saw Ah Chen already standing there.
Gong Yueyue looked at him without saying a word.
"Still angry with me?" His voice was low.
"How dare I." Gong Yueyue turned her head to the side. (To be continued)
