Suddenly, the woman in black opened her eyes in shock and said in disbelief: "Does the Lord want Prince Jin to think that Shu Yaofang gave this poison?"
The man said indifferently: "That's right."
The woman in black took a breath and was shocked, "But Prince Jin won't believe it."
The man said nonchalantly: "I don't need him to believe me."
Hearing this, the woman in black immediately understood the meaning of the man's words, "Does the Lord want to arouse the anger of all the soldiers in the military camp towards Shu Yao?"
"In this way, King Jin will be forced by all his soldiers, and King Jin cannot punish the soldiers. As the saying goes, the law does not punish everyone, Shu Yao will be forced to death by King Jin's soldiers?"
The man in black stood with his hands behind his back and looked at the woman in front of him coldly, "I didn't expect that after staying with that girl for a long time, she actually became a lot smarter."
"Lord?!" The woman in black opened her almond-shaped eyes, staring at the man in front of her in disbelief, and said: "Lord, do you want her to die?"
The woman in black's question displeased the man. Before she could finish her words, he blocked her with a sharp gaze like a blade, "No, she can't die..."
"Because, I will appear at the right time and rescue her. In this way, that girl can only belong to me." As he spoke, the sinister aura in the man suddenly became frightening.
The woman in black reluctantly held the corner of her mouth, lowered her head helplessly, and said with difficulty: "Yes, I obey."
The man opened his big hand, and a black pill suddenly appeared in his palm. He said coldly: "Take it, complete the task within three days, and come to me to get the antidote."
He paused and said in a cold tone, "If you can't finish it, you will die of poison. You have to think about it."
The woman in black's eyes trembled, and in the next second, she picked up the pill from the man's hand without hesitation and swallowed it in one gulp.
The man smiled with satisfaction, "Go back! I'll wait for your news."
"Yes, I obey." The woman in black bowed her hands, turned around and disappeared into the vast night.
In the forest as black as paint, a man suddenly walked out from behind a big tree not far away...
The man's boundless murderous intent increased sharply, his handsome eyebrows were slightly furrowed, his moderately thick red lips pursed slightly, and his slender, sharp black eyes were like an eagle in the dark night.
His ice-sharp gaze stared directly at the direction in which the two disappeared, as if just one look could kill someone, "I didn't expect that she turned out to be from the Netherworld Palace. After lurking for so long, she finally showed her fox tail.
.”
The next day, as soon as Pearl stepped into the camp, she saw Gong Yun'ao having breakfast with Shu Yao. She slowly leaned forward and saluted: "Blessings, King Jin."
Gong Yun'ao's cold eyes glanced at the bright red patch in Pearl's arms, and asked in a cold voice: "What is that in your arms?"
"Back to King Jin, these are wild fruits picked by my slave on the mountain. They taste very sweet. Miss, try them to see if they taste good. If they taste good, my slaves will pick them again." After Pearl finished speaking, she put the fruits she had collected.
On the dining table.
Shu Yao looked at the red fruit on the table. It was so bright red that she couldn't help but reach out to take it, but Prince Jin stopped her. Then, she scolded him softly: "You dare to eat anything, aren't you afraid of poison?"
After saying that, she glanced at Pearl with sharp eyes, which frightened her heart. She quickly explained: "Prince Jin, Miss, I have tasted this fruit. It is very sweet and not poisonous."
Seeing the aggrieved look on Pearl's face, Shu Yao hurriedly slapped Gong Yun'ao's big hand away and said angrily: "Third brother, you scared her, how can there be so much poison? Pearl finally picked it back, and she has eaten it.
, it’s not poisonous. Besides, have you forgotten that I also know some poison techniques? Don’t worry!”
"I'll give it a try."
After saying this, Shu Yao picked up the largest fruit and bit into it. After this bite, the thin peel was crunchy and the inside was sweet and juicy, which immediately left a fragrant taste in her mouth.
Shu Yao's eyes lit up, "Yeah! It's crispy, sweet, and juicy."
Seeing Shu Yao's happy face after eating, Pearl was very happy and said excitedly: "If Miss likes to eat, when we go back, I will pick some more for Miss to eat on the way."
Shu Yao held the pulp in her mouth and muttered: "Okay, Pearl is interested, thank you."
Pearl was moved in her heart, "Miss, you and the slave are still so polite. This is what a slave should do."
Gong Yunao took a sip of tea and gently slid his slender fingers along the edge of the cup, seemingly casually, but in fact he was observing secretly.
This woman has been lurking next to Sister Yao with ulterior motives, but Sister Yao didn't notice it at all. It seems that this woman is pretty good at pretending.
At night, Pearl came to Shu Yao's tent and saw that she was getting ready to go to bed. She hurriedly stepped forward to tuck her into bed and said in a warm voice, "When do you plan to go home?"
Shu Yao slowly lay down and asked, "What? Are you homesick?"
Pearl looked listless, and she replied lonely, "No, I was just asking casually."
Shu Yao said: "Third brother wants me to go back with his army. The lost territory of Jiumen has basically been recovered, except for the important pass of Xiangjun. However, I believe we can win it in one fell swoop in the next few days. Third brother has arranged everything
alright."
Pearl responded almost inaudibly: "Oh!"
Seeing her distracted look, Shu Yao asked with concern, "What's wrong with you? Are you sleepy? Then go to bed quickly, I don't need to take care of you anymore."
"I'm not sleepy, I just want to talk to the lady." Pearl tucked herself up and sat on the edge of the bed, smiling at her, her crescent-like eyes narrowed into slits, very cute.
Shu Yao looked at her in confusion, held her hand, and asked with concern: "You are very strange today! Did Feng Chen bully you again?"
Pearl shook her head and quickly denied, "No, Feng Chen is very good to me. He has rescued the slave from the assassins of Netherworld Palace several times, and the slave has no time to thank him!"
Since the last attack, Shu Yao has been practicing martial arts from dawn to dusk every day. Over the past few months, it has been quite effective. Her current body skills are indeed much sharper than before.
Shu Yao looked at her steadily. Something must have happened to this girl. She lifted up the quilt and said, "Come, let's sleep together tonight and chat all night."
When Pearl heard this, she looked surprised. How could it make sense for a master and a slave to sleep on the same bed? She waved her hands hurriedly, "No, miss, this is against the rules."
Shu Yao ignored her refusal and said to herself: "I am my own rules, how can I have so many scruples? Come here quickly."
Shu Yao gave in again and said kindly, "Come on! You know, I regard you as my good sister and best friend. Tell me what's on your mind."
Touched instantly, Pearl's eyes turned red and she murmured: "Miss?!"
Shu Yao lifted the quilt, looked at her and said dissatisfiedly: "Come on, my hands are tired from lifting."
Pearl smiled with tears in her eyes. She no longer hesitated, took off her shoes and coat, and slowly got into the comfortable bed, "Miss, your bed is so warm."
"Is it warm? I'm not a stove." Shu Yao looked at her little face and teased: "If I were a man, why would you say this bed is warm?"
Upon hearing this, Pearl blushed and scolded: "Miss, you are so bold."
"There's something even bolder!" After saying that, Shu Yao smiled slyly and started to tickle Pearl's armpits, "Wrap yourself up like a rice dumpling. Take off your clothes quickly and let me see."
"Ah?" Pearl screamed in fright.
Pearl was tickled all over her body, causing her to giggle non-stop. Their lady was so kind and knew that she was reserved and couldn't let go, so she eased her mood in this way.
"Zhenzhu, be careful, my dragon claw hand is coming..." Shu Yao said playfully, blowing on her hand twice, and then went straight to Zhenzhu's ticklish flesh.
Pearl's interest was aroused by Shu Yao, and she let go. She started to fight back against Shu Yao, tickling her back and forth. A bed war began, "Miss, I want to scratch your itch too."
"Giggle..." Shu Yao giggled because she was tickled.
The two of them got into a fuss, but they were afraid of being heard by the soldiers at the door, so they hid under the quilt until their faces turned red from holding it in, before they got out of the quilt to get some air.
Pearl's flushed face looked at Shu Yao. She adjusted her breathing and said, "Miss, it's so nice to meet you! Being the slave of Miss is a blessing that I have cultivated over many lifetimes."
Shu Yao calmed down her breathing and said: "Oh, you have to change. You are always the slave of the slave. It sounds weird. Can you tell me?"
Pearl chuckled, "You have to get used to this slowly."
Shu Yao smiled helplessly, "You!"
"Miss?"
"Um?"
Pearl turned her head sideways, with a little reluctance in her eyes, and hesitated: "Miss, if... I mean if..."
Shu Yao also turned around at this time, and the two faced each other. Pearl said: "If one day, this slave leaves you, will you be sad?"
Shu Yao simply thought that she was just being sentimental and asked this question.
Therefore, Shu Yao didn't think too much and said without hesitation: "Of course, you are my pearl, a very precious pearl. Of course I will be sad."
After saying that, he did not forget to pinch her nose punitively. Then, after thinking about it, he realized that it was wrong and said hurriedly: "But, Pearl, am I not treating you well? Why are you leaving? Where are you going?"
Are you willing to let me go?"
The series of questions made Pearl feel warm in her heart, and she hurriedly replied: "This slave is just asking casually, and the lady does not need to take it seriously. How can I be willing to leave the lady? Can I find a master as good as the lady in this world?"
Shu Yao took a breath and pretended to be surprised and said: "Ah? Do you still want to find a new master? I'll tell you!"
"Zhuzhu is my lady's son in life, and my lady's ghost in death. From now on, I will find you a good husband!"
The most precious pearl moved her to tears. She had never thought that she would meet such a good person in her life.
The master treated her so sincerely, truly treating her as a person, treating her as a sister and family member, respecting her, taking care of her, and allowing her to live so wantonly.
Pearl stared into Shuyao's sleepy eyes and murmured to herself, "A person born as a lady will die as a lady's ghost."
"Okay! Life is a human being, death is a ghost." Shu Yao fell into sleep in a daze, so much so that she didn't hear a word of what Pearl said next, but she could still hear the incomprehensible dream language.
Seeing Shu Yao sleeping deeply, Pearl whispered hoarsely: "Miss, tomorrow, I will no longer be able to help you wash your clothes, nor will I be able to accompany you all the time. From now on, you will never see my slave again."
"Miss, you must be happy! I will pray for you. I wish you everything goes well, and you are safe and happy."
"I am very happy to meet the young lady in this life, and I will die without regrets..."
