One after another, the carrier pigeons lost their way and fell into the barren hills. Even the golden eagles carefully trained by the Qin family could not break through the invisible barrier.

Yongyuan Township.

Jiang Shuo was so busy that he was nowhere to be seen.

Lu Jie once again inspected the empty pigeon cages and, with a gloomy face, gave his subordinates instructions over and over again.

The high priest who always wanted to pass on his mantle to Lu Ningshuang has also disappeared. He took the other three people away mysteriously and was very secretive about the purpose of his departure.

In Jinyang City.

Qin Junxiang raised his arm and caught Jin Jin who had returned empty-handed. He frowned fiercely, and his deep and handsome face revealed a depth that was hard to ignore.

The servants next to him pushed a bird stand made of pure gold together. Qin Junxiang let the dusty Jinjin land on it and turned to go into the house.

When he came out, he had changed into a solemn brocade dress.

The chilly spring air is filled with the smell of an impending storm.

……

"you're awake?"

The bright moon had just hung above the branches, and the eyelashes that had been trembling on her chest for a long time finally lifted up, revealing confused eyes like those covered by morning mist.

But in a flash, the other person's eyes regained clarity, becoming indifferent, calm, and... sarcastic?

But before Liangyi could see clearly, the girl turned sideways, closed her eyes, and turned her back to him, making a tired, hoarse sound from her throat and nose:

"Tell someone to prepare hot water. I want to take a bath."

"now?"

Liangyi spoke subconsciously, and pulled the quilt over his skin that was being swept by the breeze. Without the cold body pressed against him, his skin gradually warmed up and a burning sensation appeared.

Miss Lu's condition is becoming increasingly serious. If we continue to let her go, there will be no way to save her, and the high priest's plan will fail.

Good intentions suppressed the discomfort, and the lowered voice seemed tender and gentle:

"It's easy to catch a cold when bathing at night. Miss, can you bear with it for a while?"

Lu Ningshuang slowly moved the corners of her mouth, and her elongated tone seemed to be covered with a layer of fog in the night, "Don't worry, I won't die that easily."

She whispered, "I can't die before the play is over."

The cold fingertips slid over the scar on the chest and stroked it gently. The blue-purple blood vessels jumped out from under the fingertips, making the skin look too white and transparent.

People who study medicine should like this body very much, because they can easily peel out the organs by following the blood vessels.

She has always firmly believed that she will not fall in love with anyone, and sometimes she is confused about whether she has really treated men with all her heart.

But does it still matter now?

Lu Ningshuang suddenly laughed.

A silent, unbridled laugh, her long snow-white hair scattered all over her body, part of it hanging over the edge of the bed, making her look like a demon that had been suppressed and sealed to the point of madness.

Buckets of hot water were poured into the bathtub, and the bathroom was soon filled with mist.

Liangyi stood at the door, remembering the high priest's instructions before he left, and hesitantly opened his mouth to advise:

"Please call me when you finish your bath, Miss. You can't let your body get cold again."

"OK--"

Lu Ningshuang, who was sitting on a high stool, turned her head, her slender arms hidden under her hips, her jade-white legs gently fiddling with the smooth hem of her skirt, swaying in the air.

Her half-closed eyes concealed a dark light, and she smiled as she looked Liangyi up and down unscrupulously.

"Brother Liangyi, if you really can't let go, why don't you stay with me? It's just the right way to warm my heart and see if it's as cold and indifferent as others say."

Lu Ningshuang's gaze was too explicit and too penetrating. Liangyi's handsome face turned red instantly. He dropped his clean clothes and ran away.

Before closing the door, he turned around and saw the frail and delicate Miss Lu covering her mouth with her hands and laughing so hard that she was bent over.

The hip-length snow-white hair almost covered her frail body, and her beautiful and charming phoenix eyes were affectionately upturned, with a hint of red.

She seemed like a white camellia that had been crushed from the highest branch by the merciless wind and rain.

Soaked in water and covered in mud.

It was also stained with her own blood.

……

The air tonight was inexplicably restless. Even though Lu Jie held the sword at his waist and reminded the team in charge of the guard over and over again, he was still wandering outside the inn, feeling uneasy.

The moon sets through the west window.

When everyone was most tired, the accident happened suddenly.

Sharp sounds of swords and knives were heard from several courtyards where the welcoming team was accommodated.

Soon, they eliminated the secret sentries set up by Lu Jie around the area and rushed towards the inn at the same time.

Lu Jie's eyebrows twitched, and he immediately drew out his sword. He rushed to the gate in three or two steps, and ruthlessly killed the person who tried to rush into the inn.

"Stop!"

"Stop!"

"Stop!"

For Lu Yingxue's sake, Lu Jie growled three times, then raised his thick eyebrows and swung his sword with force, splitting the hundreds of pounds of stone steps in front of him in half with the bloody sword.

Lu Jie sank his energy into his dantian, and spoke word by word:

"Anyone who trespasses will be killed! Without mercy!"

However, the purpose of these people was completely different from what Lu Jie thought. After receiving the warning, they were like thirsty fish that saw a life-saving water source and rushed forward fearlessly.

"Miss! Second Miss!"

"I know you are in there, you can hear what is happening outside! Please be kind and save him for the sake of our relationship with my master!"

"What did my master Lu Yan do wrong? He just missed you too much, so he couldn't help but mistake someone else for you! If there is anything wrong, it's you! It's you who gave him hope again and again, and let him down again and again!"

"Second Miss, you have had so many men, why can't you let him touch you once to eliminate his obsession?"

This group of people, under the guise of pleading for Lu Yan, shouted at the top of their lungs to belittle Lu Ningshuang.

They were heartbroken and spoke harshly, as if Lu Yan couldn't stand the loneliness and found a substitute, and after the matter was exposed, he was imprisoned in the dungeon by Lord Lu, and it was all Lu Ningshuang's fault.

Lu Yan loves you so much that he even burned down the leading intelligence agency because of you.

It was you who ruined such an excellent man. How can you still stay here with a clear conscience?

"Second Miss, please don't go back to Jinyang, okay?"

"You are not a young lady. You have been pampered by everyone since you were a child. You don't know how much hardship she has gone through to achieve what she has today!"

"We, the servants, beg you, can you please consider the eldest lady for once? Just once! The eldest lady will be the first female emperor in history, and she cannot have a sister who is fickle and dissolute by nature!"

Another group of people cried out for Lu Yingxue, as if if Lu Ningshuang were still alive in this world, this female monarch who created the world would be infamous for eternity.

"Shut up! Shut up! All of you, die!"

Lu Jie's eyes bulged out, and he swung his sword wildly, chopping off one rude person after another in half.

Even though he had a strong mentality, he still felt that these words were too hurtful. He didn't dare to imagine what the consequences would be if the sensitive Second Miss heard them.

But the number of people in the welcoming team was nearly three times that of the original guard team!

No matter how fast and ruthlessly Lu Jie led his men to kill, those words, including some things that were deliberately concealed by the master and the mistress, still fell into Lu Ningshuang's ears very clearly.

The first thing to be affected was that Lu Yan found a woman who looked exactly like Lu Ningshuang as a substitute.

The substitute has already entered the Lu Mansion openly.

Duke Lu and his wife were very satisfied with the substitute's good health. They finally didn't have to worry about their daughter's constant illness.

His Majesty was very satisfied because this sister was well-behaved and considerate, and would not always cause trouble for her or cause her any trouble.

"Second Miss, just go with peace of mind. They will live better without you!"

A maidservant laughed loudly and waved her dagger, which hit Lu Jie's blade. Her head rolled down and her mouth opened and closed, making the lingering sound before her vocal cords broke.

"My dear Miss... I will do my best to be loyal to you..."
