The queen of the last days became a maid and just wanted to lie down

Xu Yao had everything planned out. She would jump off the cliff and grab onto a vine nearby, so that Pei Shuo could witness her death with his own eyes.

Wait until Pei Shuo leaves, then slowly climb up.

But plans cannot keep up with changes. The unfortunate bandit fell down with her, and fell off the cliff before her and died tragically at the bottom of the cliff.

But Pei Shuo was agile and caught her the moment she fell.

Xu Yao roared in his heart, why are you joining in the fun!

"Don't be afraid, I will rescue you."

Xu Yao looked up at the young man whose face was red from using up all his strength. He was touched by his kindness, yet disgusted by his meddling.

Naughty kid, do you know what it means to mean well but end up with bad results?

"Prince, please let go. I will be a burden to you." Xu Yao struggled desperately, trying to break free. But the naughty boy was very strong and refused to let go. If she struggled a little longer, she might fall down together.

She wanted to run away, not to drag him to death with her.

Pei Shuo tried his best to pull her up, and his arms were shaking from the pain due to excessive force.

Xu Yao noticed that his hand was not normal and it was obvious that he had a muscle strain.

But the young man did not blame Xu Yao, nor did he look down on her because she was a girl. Instead, he asked with concern, "Fire girl, are you okay?"

Xu Yao felt mixed emotions and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this boy was truly a rare good man, except that he sometimes did some stupid things.

At the end of the world, she had seen many men who, for their own selfish reasons, did not hesitate to abandon their wives, children, daughters, and even mothers when they fled.

Of course, I have also seen men who try their best to save their loved ones, their parents and siblings, and even when they cannot save anyone, they would rather die with them than abandon them.

But this was the first time Xu Yao met someone who, despite his noble status, could disregard his status and run to save a fire-making girl.

Xu Yao felt warm in his heart when he saw the kindness in the boy's eyes.

Can the kindness in people's hearts really move people?

Xu Yao felt that he had stayed in the end times for too long, and for a moment he was not used to the aimless kindness of others.

But this did not stop her from continuing to act: "My Lord, why did you come back to save me? I almost dragged you down just now."

Pei Shuo waved his hands, "What nonsense are you talking about? If I hadn't come back to save you, you would have died. How come you can't even say thank you?"

He stood up proudly, his arm hurting a little, and he couldn't help but groan. Xu Yao asked with concern: "Are you okay? Do you want me to help you walk?"

"No, no." Pei Shuo refused. "It's nothing for a grown man to have such a small injury. Let's go back. There may be other bandits around here. Let's leave quickly."

Xu Yao pricked up his ears and listened without reminding him. The bandits around here had already been killed by her. If Pei Shuo was interested in going back and looking for the bandits who besieged her, he would find that those people had basically died from excessive bleeding.

Committing evil and gluttony in the wilderness is their final fate.

Pei Shuo refused Xu Yao's help, and Xu Yao followed him slowly from behind.

They finally reunited with the main force. Xun Yangzi saw the two of them coming back and looked at Xu Yao with a strange expression.

He snorted coldly: "The little girl is very lucky. She won't die even if this happens."

Xu Yao smiled at him. He couldn't let his personality collapse in front of the prince.

Because Pei Shuo was also injured, all three of them got on the carriage.

Pei Shuo once again invited Xun Yangzi to go to the capital with him, but Xun Yangzi still refused.

"No matter how much you talk, I will not go to the capital with you. Even if we go to the palace, I will not talk to you as you wish. I am a monk and have long stopped caring about the secular world. It is useless for you to pester me."

Pei Shuo paused and said, "If the Taoist priest is willing to go to the capital with me, I will give the Zhu Yu grass to the Taoist priest after the matter is completed."

The old Taoist priest still closed his eyes and remained unmoved. "I want the things, but without you, I can always find Zhu Yu grass from other places. Besides, is this thing of yours genuine? I haven't checked it yet. Why don't you let me check it first?"

Pei Shuo didn't dare to give him the thing. This thing was obtained by Xu Yao, and he didn't know what kind of grass it was.

But he saw Xu Yao picking it casually on the roadside, so how could it be the Zhu Yu grass that the Taoist priest was looking for?

He felt a little guilty, but his eyes were very intimidating. He said seriously, "If the Taoist priest is not happy, then I can only send this thing to the palace. Maybe I can use it to exchange for my sister."

"You kid are threatening me?"

Pei Shuo smiled but said nothing. Xun Yangzi was afraid that if he continued to pursue the matter, he would fall into his trap, so he refused to speak.

The carriage went a little further, and Xu Yao suddenly asked, "Does the prince know Yuan Qingzong?"

When Xu Yao asked this question, he clearly felt Xun Yangzi's eyelids twitching slightly, his breathing became a little faster, and his heartbeat became even faster.

She has sensitive ears and can catch these subtle changes as long as she listens carefully.

This means that there is something wrong with this old Taoist.

It’s hard to say why, but from the first time this old Taoist appeared, Xu Yao felt that he was not like an ordinary Taoist priest.

It’s because Bai Lingzhi said that the kind of spice he had on him was from a very unique recipe that only Xun Yangzi knew.

But the person who was chasing him that day also had this fragrance on him, and Honglian also had a similar smell on him.

How could such a coincidence happen in the world?

Xu Yao had his suspicions and couldn't help but test the old Taoist. Could he also be related to Yuan Qingzong?

Pei Shuo was slightly surprised when he heard Yuan Qingzong, "Where did you hear this name?"

"I heard from those bandits, what on earth is this thing?" This was of course a lie. Xu Yao was used to using this kind of lie to get information, and he did it with ease.

"To be honest, when I was being chased by those robbers, I heard them shouting that the Yuan Qing Sect's people were about to enter the capital and that we couldn't cause any trouble. I didn't quite understand, so I wanted to ask you, Prince, what is the Yuan Qing Sect? What impact will their entry into the capital have?"

When Pei Shuo heard her words, his expression suddenly turned cold, "Are you sure they are talking about Yuan Qingzong?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"The Yuanqing Sect is the world's number one assassin organization. If they enter the capital, I'm afraid something big will happen."

Pei Shuo couldn't help but think of the assassination of the third prince some time ago, and the elusive master who saved their lives.

Could it be that Yuan Qingzong's people were manipulating this behind the scenes?

Pei Shuo felt that things were really strange, but he couldn't imagine the connection between these things.

After walking for a long time, they arrived at the capital.

Guard Zhang and others didn't know where to look for the person. When Xu Yao and others left, the other party was not at the post station and did not leave any contact information.

For safety reasons, Pei Shuo and his companions took Mr. Han back to the capital and left a message at the post station.

Pei Shuo originally wanted to send the person to the Liu family in person, but suddenly someone came to deliver a message, saying something to him. He hurriedly took Xun Yangzi away and left two guards to escort him.

As soon as Xu Yao returned to the Liu family, he heard that Zhang had invited the imperial physician in, and it seemed that she was seriously ill.
