Losing his eyesight is not a difficult thing for him.
With puppetry, anyone can be his eyes - his ministers, servants, or even strangers.
However, the experience in the dark is quite strange.
He grabbed someone at random and acted as his puppet in the inner court.
She is a maid from the first palace.
To him, everyone in this world is the same: irrelevant, they are all chess pieces.
Whether it was a boy or a girl, and Yun Qiao wasn't around, he naturally wouldn't care about it.
He groped in the darkness and sent people to attack the Kraken hiding in the south.
There is a kind of sea monster called "Taurus", which has a golden body, four black hooves, and two horns.
The tears of the golden bull can bring the dead pearl back to life.
Due to the inconvenience of his eyesight, this attack was more difficult, and he even lost one of his most convenient puppet troops.
Even so, he also caught the golden bull.
But there is a rumor in the world: the Emperor's new favorite, Qiyang, is so fond of her that he will take Qiyang away when he sends troops to the East China Sea.
Only then did Xi Lanting realize that the puppet he grabbed casually when he was blind was a beauty given to him by the Qiyang tribe, and she was the daughter of the tribe leader.
There were many such women in the inner court, just like Xiao Wanwan - she was defeated in the war and was given to the Emperor by her father and brother in exchange for the survival of the tribe.
Those who can be offered up are probably the most beautiful ones in the tribe, and the Qiyang family is naturally also good-looking.
Xi Lanting had no impression of her.
Dedicated to him, he cast a puppet curse on her and threw her into the inner court for Yun Qiao to play with. She could be a playmate or a palace maid, and she would follow Yun Qiao.
Yun Qiao has a dull personality. She didn't even like Xiao Wanwan at first, let alone a human woman.
Therefore, Qiyang was just a maid in charge of tea in Yunqiao Palace.
After Yun Qiao left, Xi Lanting still lived in her palace. He grabbed a puppet and brought the Qiyang family to the public.
Qiyang was born into a wealthy family and was beautiful, so people who followed him were naturally eye-catching.
After Xi Lanting regained his consciousness, he heard the rumors and asked people to imprison the Qiyang family and clarify them personally.
But it was too late.
After all, puppets are not as useful as his own eyes, so after he regained his sight, he picked up a bright yellow feather outside Yun Qiao's palace.
It has the aura of the oriole demon.
As for Yun Qiao's symbiosis with the young oriole, she must have come back.
Is she simply reluctant to let him go and wants to come back to have a look, or has she heard about Qiyang's "favor" and given up on coming back?
What did she see again?
When Xi Lanting wanted to explain, something happened with the Divine Witch Clan.
He met Yun Qiao once, but it only deepened the misunderstanding with her, so that Yun Qiao never wanted to see him again.
She no longer just left him, she hated him.
So later when she and the Hundred Thousand Half-Demon tried to imprison him, she didn't leave any way for him to escape. She really wanted to punish him.
Xi Lanting fell asleep on the bed, and Yun Qiao came in with hot milk.
He reached out to take it, and Yun Qiao handed the cup to him.
After taking a sip, he frowned slightly.
Yun Qiao was beside him and was silent for a long time before asking him: "What's wrong with your eyes?"
Xi Lanting: "..."
Yun Qiao took two glasses upstairs, one cup of hot milk and one cup of warm water.
The warm water was used to rinse his mouth after drinking milk.
Without hesitation, he directly took the warm water and paused suddenly after drinking it.
This detail made Yun Qiao understand that he didn't know that what he drank was not hot milk.
"...Is it because of the marks on my back?"
Yun Qiao asked again, "Lanting, I only ask you for the last time.
If you don’t tell me, I won’t ask you again.”
Trust is the most fragile.
This time you don't trust me, and I won't trust you anymore.
"yes."
He finally spoke, with a hint of laughter in his voice, "Where's my milk?"
Yun Qiao handed it to him.
Xi Lanting took a sip, this time it was still warm water.
His eyes really couldn't see clearly.
Yun Qiao's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
Xi Lanting was helpless and asked her: "Madam, please tell me, can I drink milk today?"
