That night, with the cold moon hanging high in the sky, in Xiu Niang's room, Huai Mo Ran and others were sitting upright, quietly waiting for the news.
On the bed, Xiu Niang looked out the window from time to time, and from time to time she looked back with disappointment.
It has been four days since the news was released. During these four days, Huai Mo Ran stayed in the room on the pretext of "fulfilling his filial piety" in order to detect Leng Ao's aura as quickly as possible. Baili Ye Heng told
After passing her, with her current internal strength, she was already slightly better than Leng Ao, so she had been quietly waiting for the arrival of her "prey".
It's a pity that Leng Ao is completely different from his previous fiery personality. He has been silent for four days without any news. Looking at the disappointed Xiu Niang, Huai Moran's heart is full of regrets. If she hadn't come up with this idea, Xiu Niang would be dead now.
She wouldn't be so disappointed. After all, Leng Ao knew that she was seriously ill but refused to come to the palace. This would be a very sad thing for her.
Time passed minute by minute, and soon, under Huai Moran's order, everyone dispersed in twos and threes, and in the end only Huai Moran and Baili Yeheng were left.
At this time, Baili Yeheng had already put on the silver mask made for him by Huai Moran. The mask slanted down from the end of his left eye, covering a quarter of his right cheek. When he first saw this mask
I liked it very much, so when I didn't need to wear it, I would always wear it without taking it off.
Huai Moran was originally feeling a little depressed, but when she turned her face and saw Baili Yeheng's mask, her mood suddenly improved. She knew that Xiu Niang was already very sad, and she could no longer convey her lost emotions to Xiu Niang.
, then she got up and came to the couch, and while arranging the quilt for Xiu Niang, she comforted her softly: "Mom, I think A'ao is so smart, he must be suspecting that there is something fishy in this. From our point of view, we can only be patient.
I’ll have to wait a little longer.”
Xiu Niang nodded slightly. She knew that Leng Ao was heartbroken at first. Not to mention that he didn't come to the palace to see her because he knew she was fine. Even if he really didn't want to see her and didn't care about her godmother's life or death, she didn't.
There is nothing to complain about, because in her eyes, it was she who was the mother who failed this good son.
"Mo Ran, mother is fine, you don't need to comfort mother." Xiu Niang said softly, then turned her gaze to Baili Yeheng aside, and said calmly: "Okay, you two go down and have a rest. I heard that Yi'er has been doing this for a few days.
He will stick to you soon, don't let him wait too long." After saying that, she pushed Huai Moran out and continued: "Go to bed quickly."
Huai Moran stubbornly shook her head and said, "No, maybe he will come tonight? Yi'er is with Ye Heng. It'll be fine. Don't worry." After saying that, she turned to Baili Ye Heng and said:
"Ye Heng, you go and rest."
Baili Yeheng's long eyebrows frowned slightly under his mask, and a flash of hesitation flashed in his eyes. The next moment, he softly said "hmm" and stood up to leave.
Huai Moran and Xiu Niang waited for another night, but unfortunately, they still found nothing. Just when Huai Mo Ran was about to give up, someone suddenly came to report, saying that a reward of 10,000 taels was offered for Xiu Niang to find a miracle doctor. The imperial list was revealed.
Down!
When Huai Moran heard the news, her face was full of excitement, because she believed that only Leng Ao dared to reveal this imperial list!
So, everyone "were in their places" early in the morning, waiting for Leng Ao to return to the palace. Especially those people in Chongzi Villa had already begun grinding their teeth, hoping that when they saw Leng Ao, they would go up together to knock him down and beat him.
He was looking for teeth all over the floor, let him know the consequences of leaving without saying goodbye!
Time passed by, and when everyone's emotions became more and more tense, even Baili Yeheng couldn't restrain his emotions, and when he was walking around, the legendary man finally came in with the guards, but what everyone didn't expect was that
Yes, the person who came was not Leng Ao at all, or even a man at all! Instead, he was a petite woman in red.
According to the hidden guard who hurriedly came to report, the woman in red looked a little weird, her eyes were emitting a faint blue light, and her mount turned out to be a wolf.
Huai Moran frowned, this woman... was really weird. Just when she was about to ask everyone to investigate, she suddenly noticed something was wrong with Baili Yeheng's face.
"Ye Heng, what's wrong?" Huai Moran frowned, and at this moment, everyone focused their attention on Baili Ye Heng, only to realize that the lips outside his mask were pressed tightly together, and the exposed
There was also a layer of fine sweat on his forehead, and his whole body was tense. It could be seen that he was extremely nervous at this time.
An ominous premonition arose in Huai Moran's heart, her tone suddenly became serious, and she said coldly: "Do you know this woman?"
Baili Yeheng stared at Huai Moran with a solemn expression, pursed his lips, and murmured: "Well... he is a dangerous person."
Huai Moran frowned slightly: "What do you mean?"
Baili Yeheng said nothing, just turned around and prepared to leave.
However, Huai Moran pulled his sleeve reluctantly and continued to ask: "Tell me, why don't you tell me?"
Baili Yeheng turned to look at her, then scratched his hair a little irritably, and said seriously: "Okay, let me tell you, she is a woman just like you..."
After saying that, he hurriedly left while everyone was stunned, looking like he was going to take refuge.
What does the unhappiness on Huai Mo Ran's face mean? A woman like her? What kind? Appearance? Impossible! In his eyes, what does she look like inside? Vicious, charming, or annoying?
"Brother Ruhua! Where are you going?" Suddenly, a clear voice, accompanied by a gust of cold wind, reached everyone's ears. Everyone in the room felt that the windows seemed to be shaken by the gust of wind, and
Before they could recover, they heard a howl, which was actually the howl of a wolf.
It seems...the person who came here is evil!
Huai Moran frowned, and there was a dangerous glimmer in her eyes, like a flower...brother? Humph, who dared to call her man so affectionately? Did she not want to live anymore? But she also understood a little bit, what he did just now
The meaning of the sentence.
However, I wonder if Baili Yeheng looked "at a loss" and "naive" this time? If so... Her face turned cold and she quickly walked out of the room.
Everyone looked at each other, feeling suppressed by Huai Moran's aura just now. It wasn't until she left that they realized that the empress was angry. It seemed that this matter... wouldn't be that easy. But...
"Ruhua...whose name is it?"
"Could it be...the emperor's?"
The corners of everyone's mouths twitched. If it weren't for the fact that the atmosphere at this time was really not suitable for laughing, they would have laughed unethically.
…
When Huai Mo Ran came outside the door, he saw a woman in red with a smile as bright as a flower, running towards Baili Yeheng excitedly, but Baili Yeheng stood there with a tense face since her name was called.
It seemed that he had no intention of leaving again. Huai Moran couldn't help but frown in displeasure. How could this woman make him stop for her?
The woman in red quickly came to the two of them. She had discovered the existence of Huai Moran early. Ignoring the reminders of the guards on the side, she raised her chin and said arrogantly: "You are the very powerful Tianyou in the legend.
Queen?"
Everyone couldn't help but dropped their jaws in shock. This man was so arrogant. He dared to be so rude to the empress.
Compared to everyone's astonishment, Huai Moran herself seemed much calmer. She looked at the petite girl in front of her and needed to look up to her because she was standing under the corridor. The corners of her lips were slightly raised, with a touch of arrogance in her tone: "Not bad.
, it is me, but...who are you?"
The girl slowly walked up the steps. The wolf next to her was looking at Huai Moran with eager eyes, as if looking at the prey about to enter. Those eyes with cold light made people tremble in fear.
Huai Moran just glanced at the wolf contemptuously, and the wolf shrank back and took a few steps back.
The girl didn't know that the wolf behind her had changed like this. She just stood in front of Huai Moran, trying hard to look at her level, but found that she was a head taller than her. The girl couldn't help but said angrily: "Humph! Foxy.
Woman! You are indeed the kind of woman my imperial sister said, with big breasts and no brains, and can only rely on her face to seduce men!"
Everyone's faces instantly turned livid, Baili Yeheng also frowned slightly, and there was a coldness flashing in his narrow phoenix eyes under the mask.
Huai Moran was not angry, but asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Is it because your imperial sister is like you, so short, with such a bad figure, and no man likes her, so she would say such a thing?"
"You dare to insult my imperial sister? Do you know who she is?" When the girl heard what Huai Moran said, her face was full of displeasure and she immediately put her hands on her hips and said.
Huai Moran raised her eyebrows, she naturally wanted to know, but if she said she wanted to, what would this girl say? It seems that this girl looks very imposing, but she is actually an embroidered pillow, a stupid little dwarf?
While playing with his nails, Huai Moran said casually: "I don't want to know. God bless me, and I am the greatest. Your imperial sister is just a handful of loess in front of me, and can't stir up any waves."
The girl's eyes widened in anger and she said coldly: "Fart! My imperial sister is the most powerful woman in the world and the first queen of my demon kingdom. If she wants you to die today, you will not survive tomorrow. Do you understand?"
Demon Country? Huai Moran raised his eyebrows again and turned his gaze to Baili Yeheng, who was looking more and more angry. He just didn't know whether this guy was angry because the girl told her the secret or because he said such ugly words.
Huai Mo Ran still looked lazy, but Qi Shuang and the others couldn't bear it anymore. Qi Shuang took the lead to rush out with his sword and said coldly: "What an arrogant little girl, you don't know how high the sky is!"
Huai Moran waved his hand and signaled her to retreat, but the girl said inhumanely: "Huh, who are you? You have no right to talk to me."
"you!"
"Qi Shuang, step back."
Qishuang glanced at Huai Moran reluctantly, and then retreated depressedly.
The girl raised her chin proudly and said, "Humph, you're just a dog, and you dare to scream in front of this princess."
Huai Mo Ran frowned lightly, and a coldness suddenly appeared in her eyes. She looked at the girl with a sneer and said: "I have never heard of a 'demon country'. I only know that since you have revealed the emperor's list, you have nothing to say.
The key is to be able to cure my mother's illness. If you can't cure my mother, then I can only say 'you're welcome'. It is clearly written on the imperial list that anyone who dares to covet those ten thousand taels of gold
Those who are rewarded and exposed on the imperial list will be killed without mercy!"
No matter how arrogant the girl was, she still felt a little frightened when she saw Huai Moran with a cold face. She pursed her lips and snorted: "Who said I was greedy for gold to reveal the imperial list? I just wanted to come and bring it to light.
Leave my brother Ruhua, that’s all!”
Huai Moran's eyes turned cold, but his face was extremely angry and he smiled and said: "Say it again."
