Arriving at the palace, Li Nanke learned that the eldest princess had gone to Wuji Hall.
Because he was not sure when the other party would come back, Li Nanke did not want to waste time waiting, so he simply went to the residence of the Empress Dowager first.
"You haven't come to see me in the past few days. I thought you ran away with your family."
Seeing Li Nanke arriving, Huo Yingying mocked.
Women still live a very nourishing life.
Wearing expensive Xiufeng robes and eating delicacies, Li Nanke even felt that this woman was fatter than before.
"I got the stuff."
Li Nanke took out the fake bone whistle.
Huo Yingying's beautiful eyes lit up and she reached out to take it, but the man retracted his arm.
"Master Li, do you want to regret it?" Huo Yingying raised her eyebrows, her face darkened, and her tone was sarcastic, "Are you planning to threaten me with this bone whistle?"
"Are you sure you can meet the conditions of our previous transaction?"
Li Nanke asked.
Huo Yingying said: "Of course it can be done. As long as you find Ye Yaoyao, or find a master who can deal with the seven Tiangang Earth Demons, I will have a way to help you rob the man imprisoned in the underground palace."
"What if you lied to me?"
"Haha, I will act with you when the time comes. It will do me no good to lie to you."
"You also want the man from the underground palace?"
"I'm not interested in that person." Huo Yingying leaned lazily on the cushions, her robe slightly opened, revealing her exquisite body in tight underwear, "Anyway, it depends on whether you, Mr. Li, have the courage to trust me.
Or, you can threaten me with a bone whistle."
"There's no need to use this against you."
Li Nanke thought for a while and threw the bone whistle in his hand to the woman.
Huo Yingying quickly caught the bone whistle, her face filled with excitement and joy.
But the next second, her expression changed.
"This bone whistle is fake!"
"Fake?"
Li Nanke pretended to be surprised.
Huo Yingying stared closely at Li Nanke's expression, her sharp phoenix eyes seeming to see through the man's mind.
After a long time, she withdrew her gaze and asked, "Are you sure you got this bone whistle from that old man?"
"I am absolutely certain."
"Where are the others?"
"I buried him." Li Nanke said it lightly.
Huo Yingying's pupils moved, she looked down at the fake bone whistle in her hand, and fell into thought.
After a long time, Huo Yingying suddenly smiled and said to Li Nanke: "This bone whistle has the special mark of the underworld on it. You can't forge it. Only they can forge it."
"But why would they fake it?"
Li Nanke continued to act stupid.
Huo Yingying smiled brightly, raised a slender finger and said: "There is only one explanation. They didn't control my bone whistle, so they made a fake one to try to deceive me."
"Did they really lose the bone whistle?"
"It doesn't matter now. As long as the underworld can't control me, I'm free."
Huo Yingying rubbed her fingers together and turned the fake bone whistle into powder.
She turned around and looked at Li Nanke with a smile as bright as a flower: "Although the bone whistle is fake, the deal is still done. I will fulfill my promise on New Year's Eve."
"It's the best."
Li Nanke didn't plan to stay here too long and was going to see if Bai Ruyue was back.
"Li Nanke, do you think the underworld is powerful?"
Huo Yingying asked suddenly.
Li Nanke paused and said calmly: "It doesn't matter to me whether you are powerful or not. Anyway, in the apocalypse, we are all ants. If you can survive, you are really powerful."
"You, sometimes you think of things too complicated, and sometimes you think of things too simple."
Huo Yingying's face looked a little melancholy, "The underworld does not exist in the human world. Anyone who appears in the human world is just a little brat."
Ghost error?
Li Nanke was thoughtful.
…
After leaving the residence of the Empress Dowager, Li Nanke came to the eldest princess's palace again.
Fortunately, Bai Ruyue has returned from Wuji Palace.
But when Li Nanke was brought into the bedroom by the maid, Bai Ruyue acted very coldly.
"Is something wrong?"
The woman is sitting at the desk writing something, her beautiful voice contains no emotion.
Li Nanke frowned, feeling unhappy.
From Nie Ying's mouth, he learned that Bai Ruyue had not visited him during the ten days when he was in coma.
This made Li Nanke feel very uncomfortable.
Although the two had a lot of quarrels, they were entangled with each other in a hazy relationship. They were not a couple, they were once a couple. They were not a couple, but more like a couple.
Now that the other party didn't even look at him, he couldn't help but feel complicated.
"Sun Xiaoyuan can be eliminated."
Li Nanke said expressionlessly.
"Okay, I understand. Is there anything else?" Bai Ruyue gave the order to expel the guests without raising her head.
Li Nanke felt a little cold-hearted. He said "No more" and turned around to leave.
"Why don't you come see me?"
Just when the man was about to step out of the door, the woman's suppressed grievance and disappointment came out in a slightly choked voice.
"What?"
Li Nanke frowned and turned to look at the woman.
The woman was still sitting at the desk, but her hand holding the pen trembled slightly, while the teeth she bit her lips were extremely hard, forcibly suppressing her inner emotions.
"Why don't you come to see me these days?"
Bai Ruyue finally raised her head, her eyes filled with mist.
Li Nanke only felt that the other party was inexplicable.
Distraught, he said angrily: "Why don't I come to see you? You don't know why?"
Hearing this, Bai Ruyue's pretty face turned pale instantly.
She sat stiffly as if she had lost her soul and murmured to herself: "So... was it me who was being sentimental from beginning to end?"
The woman smiled sadly and threw the pen in her hand at Li Nanke, "Get out!!"
Li Nanke stood still.
The woman's abnormal behavior made him realize that something was wrong. He hesitated and took the initiative to explain: "I disappeared in the earthquake ten days ago. Since I came back, I have been in a coma and only woke up today. In the meantime... I died once."
As he said that, he opened his clothes and revealed the bloody bandage.
Bai Ruyue, who was originally sad and angry, suddenly froze in place.
She slightly opened her red lips and her voice trembled, "You...you were in a coma for ten days? But...but why didn't Sister Luo and the others tell me? I thought..."
Seeing this situation, Li Nanke understood.
The eldest princess had no idea what had happened to him these days.
But it's strange.
There is only one person who can inform the eldest princess, and that is Nie Ying.
It means Nie Ying didn't tell the eldest princess.
But why didn't she say it?
After all, Nie Ying knew that he had an affair with the eldest princess.
Because of jealousy?
Because of jealousy?
Or did you accidentally forget it?
No!
This is not Nie Ying's character.
There is only one possibility, that is, someone specifically told Nie Ying not to tell her to Bai Ruyue.
This person...should be Mrs. Luo Qianqiu.
Although the misunderstanding was resolved, Li Nanke was still very dissatisfied, "Even if Madam and the others didn't tell you, you didn't plan to come and visit me? You don't care if I was injured after the earthquake?"
"I've been paralyzed for ten days, how can I visit you?"
