Chapter Fifty-Five

Chapter 55

"Eunuch Fu, you are polite." The reception official almost knelt on the ground, his respectful attitude surprised Xianxue.

The person who walked in was an old man in scarlet clothes. He ignored the reception officials who greeted him at the door and walked straight to Xianxue.

At first glance, he looked like a distinguished person, Xianxue thought to herself.

"President Baili, please."

Xianxue followed closely behind the old man, and saw that he was walking as fast as flying, and his skills were vigorous. He was not like an ordinary person at all. It seemed that he should be someone close to Zongzheng Qishuo. This was the effect she wanted. What happened in Soochow was just a

As a guise, give her a reason to oppose Zongzheng Qishuo. As long as she wants to harm the three of them, mother and son, she will not let anyone go!

Following Eunuch Fu, he walked around the walkway in the front yard and walked into a small courtyard. A towering tree in the courtyard blocked most of the sunlight and seemed a bit depressing. Xianxue was a little surprised. What is the origin of this big tree?

Why weren't they replaced by those hibiscus flowers?

The dark night gradually drew the curtain, and the whole Jinlan Garden was brightly lit. I don't know why there are so many lights here, almost one lantern for every step. The fiery red candlelight reminded Xianxue of the hibiscus flowers on the corner of Zongzheng Qishuo's clothes. When she thought of this,

In Zongzheng Qishuo's territory, Xianxue felt that the candlelight above her head looked extremely gorgeous.

Xianxue saw that there was no one else except the two maids responsible for serving. Xianxue looked around and walked towards the arch of Jinlan Garden.

"President Baili, I'm unfamiliar with life, so don't wander around. If you want to visit Fuso's palace, Zajia will accompany you to go shopping tomorrow morning." The high-pitched voice came again, and Xianxue stopped.

Step down.

"Thank you, father-in-law." Xianxue responded lightly and stepped back.

"The Zajia would like to remind President Baili that if you hear any noise at night, you must ignore it, lest your curiosity kills you."

Threat, naked threat! As expected, the people around Shura were all yin and yang! Xianxue withdrew her gaze and said nothing. She was lying on the bed with her clothes on. There was a rustling sound outside the window, and Xianxue stood up.

Opening the window, Ying Yi's figure jumped into the house nimbly.

"Master, Zongzheng Qishuo has left the palace." Ying said in a low voice.

"Where have you gone?" Xianxue's face darkened and she looked at the sky. What was the purpose of leaving the palace at this time? But her every move was under his control. It was obviously the reception official who was responsible for receiving her, but

Later, I came here and was stared at by that sinister eunuch.

"I don't know. I was discovered after I followed him outside the imperial city, so I had to give up." Ying Yi thought that he was very good at tracking, but he didn't expect that Zongzheng Qishuo was so alert.

"Pay attention to safety." Xianxue whispered. Once Zongzheng Qishuo discovered it, Yingyi and the others had to be even more careful.

Ying nodded and quickly jumped out of Jinlanyuan. Fortunately, his Qinggong and hiding skills were good enough, otherwise it would be difficult to walk in such a bright night!

Tonight, Zongzheng Qishuo was nowhere to be seen, and Xianxue was even more surprised. Didn't he always want his own life? How could he be so calm?

Xianxue stood in front of the window and looked at it for a while. Not only here, but the entire palace was like this. It was bright everywhere. Zongzheng Qishuo's schizophrenia was already terminally ill! Suddenly, Xianxue's eyes were fixed on one place.

, I just casually glanced at that place when I was about to look back. Compared with the bright candlelight everywhere, the darkness there seemed so abrupt. Is there a blind spot for schizophrenia? The entire palace was lit up with lanterns as if it were daytime.

, it’s not worth the money for the lanterns in that small area!

Although curious, Xianxue closed the window and returned to the bed. Just as she was about to lie down, she heard a cry. The sound was extremely cruel, and the voice was that of a child. Xianxue's heart suddenly tightened. She knew that the voice was definitely not that of a child.

Gold and silver treasures, but when she heard the child's cry, she always felt uncomfortable in her heart. How could there be a child in the palace?

Emperor Fusang, Zongzheng Wuyou, is only seven years old. Is this voice coming from him? Even other young eunuchs would not dare to cry so loudly in this palace even if they were severely beaten. Therefore, this cry

It must belong to the little emperor. It is inevitable for children to be naughty, and the emperor is naturally more arrogant. After a while, the crying still did not stop, and became more and more miserable, as if he had been frightened in some way. Xianxue paid attention

The cry seemed to come from that dark place, and my heart that had just calmed down suddenly started to rise again.

Was the sound that the eccentric father-in-law mentioned referring to the crying? Things were definitely not as simple as she imagined. The crying didn't stop, but became more serious. Xianxue couldn't help but stand up and open the window. Although the whole palace was bright everywhere

The light was on, but the silence was terrifying. Only the cries came one after another, which made people feel heartbroken.

Xianxue has never been a nosy person, but as soon as she heard this childish cry, she could no longer sit still. She flashed and quickly walked towards the dark place.

The doors to the small courtyard were all sealed, and apart from that cry, there was no one else in the courtyard. Xianxue fell lightly into the courtyard, and at this time, only soft sobs remained among the high-pitched cries.

"No, no!" Suddenly, the cry mixed with helpless shouts came again, with infinite terror.

Xianxue broke through the door and saw a long black snake spitting out a message and gently approaching the little boy who huddled up. Without thinking, Xianxue turned her hand over, a flash of silver light flashed, and the black snake was cut into pieces.

Count cuts.

"Don't be afraid." Xianxue said softly.

"Mother!" A small figure who had just reached Xianxue's waist immediately threw herself into Xianxue's arms and hugged Xianxue's waist so tightly that she couldn't break her apart.

Xianxue didn't move and held the little boy in her arms. This mother's call seemed to temporarily fill the void in Xianxue. Through the lights from other places, Xianxue saw the bright yellow robe on the little boy's body and the top of his head.

The dragon crown is none other than Fusang Emperor Zongzheng Wuyou! Xianxue couldn't understand why he stayed here alone.

"Let's get out of here, okay?" Xianxue said softly.

Zongzheng Wuyou immediately nodded sharply, his beautiful big eyes filled with tears, and he pulled Xianxue tightly, for fear that she would abandon him.

After leaving the small courtyard, Xianxue picked up Zongzheng Wuyou and flew up. She hooked up a lantern with her feet and shot it straight into the dark courtyard. After a while, the entire courtyard was filled with flames.

The originally silent palace immediately became lively, and the sound of putting out fires sounded everywhere. Xianxue looked at the small courtyard with flames soaring into the sky and smiled lightly.

"Sister, sister." Zongzheng Wuyou saw Xianxue's appearance clearly and immediately changed his words. At a young age, he was bewitched by Xianxue's smile and immediately stopped sobbing.

"Why are you there?" Xianxue asked softly when she saw that he was no longer afraid.

"Every night, I was kept there by the emperor's uncle. The black snake was raised by the emperor's uncle. I am most afraid of snakes! But every night, I have to be with it! Although he will not hurt me, I am

I'm afraid, I'm so afraid, it's cold, hovering around my body, strangling me tightly, and the words in my mouth are rubbing against my face, I'm afraid, I'm really afraid!" Zong Zheng

Wuyou couldn't help but tremble when he mentioned the word "uncle emperor." When he thought of the black snake, Zongzheng Wuyou's face suddenly turned pale.

Zongzheng Qishuo, how could he treat a child like this! Xianxue could imagine that in the dark night, she was with the thing she was most afraid of, with nowhere to hide and nowhere to escape, and her heart was pounding.

What an inhuman torture every night is for a seven-year-old child!

"Sister, if you kill that snake, the emperor will definitely not let you go!" Zongzheng Wuyou suddenly said in horror. This sister not only killed the snake, but also set fire to the small courtyard. The emperor will definitely

will kill her.

"Sister, please leave quickly! Leave me alone and leave here quickly." Zongzheng Wuyou said anxiously. He didn't want this sister to die in front of him one by one like those who cared about him in the past.

"The imperial uncle you are talking about is Zongzheng Qishuo?" Xianxue wanted to confirm.

Zongzheng Wuyou nodded. Although he told Xianxue to leave quickly, he couldn't bear to leave her at all. Her embrace was so warm, just like a mother's.

"Don't worry, he can't do anything to my sister." Xianxue comforted her with a smile.

"Sister, can you take me away? I never want to come back here again." Zongzheng Wuyou begged in a low voice. He was not sure whether Xianxue would agree, and he didn't know Xianxue's identity, but

He knew that if Xianxue wanted to take him away, she would definitely be able to take him away!

"Have you thought about it?" Xianxue asked lightly. After the fire is extinguished, everyone will come back to their senses and look for the little emperor. If no body is found, they will search everywhere. Of course she cannot hide him here.

.

"Yes!" Zongzheng Wuyou nodded heavily, fearing that Xianxue would regret it.

"Okay, I'll take you away now." Xianxue picked up a cloak and wrapped Zongzheng Wuyou into her arms. She flashed and quickly jumped to the big tree, only to see the figure of Eunuch Fu.

Not far from Jinlan Garden, there are guards patrolling everywhere. The panic there seems to have no impact on this place at all. Sure enough, I guessed right. Eunuch Fu has been monitoring me, but no matter how closely he stares,

He couldn't imagine that she was right under his nose, coming and going freely!

After a stick of incense,,,

"President Baili, President Baili! Are you inside?" Eunuch Fu's voice sounded outside the door.

"President Baili, something is missing in the palace. The Zajia family has been ordered to search. If President Baili doesn't agree, we will break in!" Eunuch Fu's face darkened. Seeing that there was still no reaction inside, he lightly

With a slight wave of his hand, the guards behind him were immediately ready to break down the door and enter.

"What's the fuss about in the middle of the night?" Xianxue pushed open the door, and the two waiters who were about to kick the door missed and almost jumped into the room.

When Eunuch Fu saw Xianxue casually put a coat on her body, her hair spread out, as if she had just woken up, his eyes became more searching, and he glanced around the room, trying to find some unusual signs.

"It's so noisy outside, it's hard for President Baibai to still sleep." Eunuch Fu's sinister voice came slowly.

"Didn't my father-in-law tell me not to pay attention to any noise, so I had no choice but to sleep." Xianxue pulled her coat and looked at the battle in front of her.

"Really?" Eunuch Fu responded with a smile, not sure whether he believed Xianxue's words or not.

"At midnight, why did Eunuch Fu lose something and you are so worried?" Xianxue asked, still looking indifferent and indifferent to herself.

"It's an insignificant thing, but I still want to disturb President Baili. You guys can go in and search it." Eunuch Fu did not answer Xianxue, but gave instructions with a side face.

Xianxue turned aside to make room for the guards to come in. An insignificant thing? The dignified emperor of Fusang was just a thing in their eyes! It seemed that she was right to send Xiao Wuyou away!

The guards came out and reported back to Eunuch Fu. Eunuch Fu's expression remained unchanged. It was unclear whether he was happy or angry. He waved his hand and the guards immediately dispersed.

"President Baili, please rest early." After saying that, he turned and left. Suddenly, when he reached the towering tree, he paused. Xianxue looked at Eunuch Fu's back and closed the door.

Eunuch Fu really did what he said. He accompanied Xianxue almost all over Fusang's palace all day long. Zongzheng Qishuo still had no news. Eunuch Fu had already discovered the big tree where he could hide last night and had already doubted himself. Today's shadow

I'm afraid it would be difficult for someone to come in unnoticed. It seems that she is going out tonight.

Xianxue stood in the yard, looking at this plant except the hibiscus. She didn't know why, this Jinlan Garden unusually planted such a towering tree. Even though it was snowing, it still had luxuriant branches and leaves. This was not surprising at all.

It was like Zongzheng Qishuo's style. Everything was quiet, and occasionally there was the sound of wind blowing leaves and rustling. After looking around, Xianxue flew up and went straight to the direction closest to the palace without any pause.

, so fast that it disappeared in just the blink of an eye.

Not long after Xianxue left, Eunuch Fu came to Jinlan Garden. When he saw that there was no one inside, he looked stern and immediately turned around and left.

Ying Yi anxiously waited outside the palace. The guards seemed to be more densely packed today. He tried several times but couldn't get in.

"Ying Yi." Xianxue landed lightly and saw Ying Yi pacing back and forth anxiously.

"Master, someone sent a large number of killers to surround Zongzheng Qishuo!" Yingyi saw Xianxue one by one and immediately told Xianxue the news they had just discovered.

"Where is Zongzheng Qishuo now?" Xianxue asked lightly. A trace of doubt flashed in her heart. The siege was a result of several killer groups using all their strength to kill one person. Who did Zongzheng Qishuo offend?

!

"In the woods ten miles away from the imperial city."

"Notify all the shadows to quickly go to the Shilipo Grove." After Xianxue finished speaking, she flew up. She wanted to see how capable Zongzheng Qishuo was!

As soon as she arrived at the grove, Xianxue could feel a strong chilling air. The sound of the wind was mixed with the sound of weapons clashing. She tapped her toes and leapt towards the source of the sound, stopping at a tree.

Above the fork, the fight below can be seen clearly.

The killers who caught the eye were all wearing black clothes. At this time, it was no longer possible to tell which ones were in the same group. They all mixed together and attacked Zongzheng Qishuo together. It seemed that they had only one purpose, and that was to kill Zongzheng.

Qishuo's life! I saw the corners of clothes fluttering with silver light in the black, and a hibiscus flower blooming beautifully in the dark night. Suddenly, the small golden bow on Zongzheng Qishuo's waist attracted all Xianxue's attention.

With a flip of his hand, a branch shot straight towards Zongzheng Qishuo's back.

Zongzheng Qishuo felt something strange behind him, and immediately turned around, holding the branch tightly with his slender fingers. Silver could not see any of his expressions. The branch did not break as he imagined, but instead carried strong power.

After taking three steps back, he stabilized his body, stretched out his hands, and looked at the intact branches. His eyes continued to search around him.

Even the killers all stopped and looked around, wondering who this ###### recruit was and how powerful he was!

This man is definitely not the same as these killers! Throwing away the branch in his hand, Zongzheng Qishuo pulled out a short bamboo flute from his waist. A high-pitched sound sounded, and the killers immediately covered their ears. The flute sounded again,

There is no rhythm at all, but it gives people a splitting headache. Countless figures suddenly appear in front of them, and each one is the target of their assassination!

Looking at everyone's reactions, Xianxue only felt that the sound of the flute was a little weird, and she felt a tightness in her chest. She raised her zhenqi to suppress the discomfort, and her whole body immediately relaxed as usual. When she listened to the sound of the flute again, suddenly the sound of the flute suddenly turned sharply lower, and

There was no other uncomfortable feeling, it was just that the sound made me feel very uncomfortable, as if someone who couldn't play the piano was hitting the keys hard, or someone who couldn't play the violin was trying to make some noise. Xianxue frowned slightly.

I saw the killers who were covering their heads in pain just now, suddenly raised their weapons and started killing each other. The scene was chaotic. These people seemed to have lost their minds and seemed to be completely unable to control themselves. The legendary man used music as a sword and music as a sword.

To kill! If it is powerful enough, this kind of sound can control the minds of people and even animals, making them act according to the player's thoughts and completely lose themselves. In modern times, she has only heard about it. She never thought that she would be able to see it with her own eyes today.

.

No wonder, that cold-blooded black snake would be at the mercy of the obedient Ren Zongzheng Qishuo.
