The Lord who use immortals as food

"…Who are you?!" The girl was startled. She glared at him, but her face had turned a little pale in the dim light.

If this kind of cowardice in a confrontation between the martial arts world is like the blood and energy floating into the nose of a hungry wolf.

Pei Ye lowered his head and stared at her until the twisted anger on his face gradually cooled down and turned into a kind of stubbornness with a hint of fear.

"I, I am Li Cannan, the eighth princess of the Tang Dynasty. Her Royal Highness the Queen is my biological mother... How could a man like you be in the palace? What crime have you been charged with?"

"He's mine." Li Xizhou caught up from behind at this time, lifted her skirt and walked up the stairs.

Li Cannan moved her eyes to take a look, and her face turned pale in an instant. The man in red clothes and golden face looked like a demon fire in the palace. She froze in place, stammering and not knowing what to say.

"Let her go." Li Xizhou said.

Pei Ye let go of his hand, stepped aside, bent down and helped Meng'er up.

"Aren't you polite?" Li Xizhou looked at the girl with a normal tone.

"Your Highness, your minister and your sister greet His Highness Jinyang." Li Cannan quickly lifted her skirt and bowed deeply.

"Why did you beat and scold her?"

"..." Li Cannan bent his body stiffly, like a rabbit under the claws of an eagle, unable to utter a word.

Li Xizhou lowered his eyes and looked at her for a while: "Don't vent your anger in the palace all the time. If your mother hears about it, you will be punished anyway."

"Yes...I will follow your Highness's instructions."

"You are not happy in the palace. A few days ago, the saint gave you a house in the East Square. Isn't it great?" Li Xizhou said, "People are always superior and inferior to each other. You like to compete with others. You will feel more comfortable in Shenjing City than in Daming Palace... Go back."

The woman only said these two sentences in a very calm tone, and there was no sound of scolding or anything else. Li Cannan was stunned and trembled for a moment, then subconsciously raised his head, but the fluttering red dress had already turned to the young man's side.

She glanced at the tall and stern young man again, bowed her head and said goodbye, and left the stone platform without saying a word.

Meng'er had just finished checking his wooden limb and looked up with a relieved smile. It was obviously not broken.

Pei Ye frowned and looked at her: "Why did she hit you?"

"…It's because of Prince Yong Ji's marriage." Meng'er lowered her head and patted the footprints on her body. "Prince Yong has been close to my prince these days, and the eighth prince is very angry."

Pei Ye pursed his lips and looked at her body. There was almost no clean place. Not only were there signs of violence, but there was also a lot of mud on her body, and there were also wet marks from melted snow, as if she had fallen several times and struggled to get up.

His hair was disheveled in several places and there was a red slap mark on his face.

Pei Ye frowned again.

"Then why did she go find Li Youlong and beat you up? Doesn't Li Youlong care?"

"There's no need to tell His Highness..." Meng'er glanced at the boy's angry face and smiled quickly, "Oh, don't be angry, His Highness and I are very close. His Highness does a lot for me, and I'm used to being wronged for His Highness. It's nothing... And, don't blame His Highness the Eighth Prince too much."

The maid lowered her head and brushed off the dirt on her body: "She is not that bad. You know, the one with the weakest blood among all the sons of the unicorn is the Eighth Prince——"

She suddenly stopped talking here and looked at the red-clothed man in the distance with some fear, but the prince did not seem to have any intention of coming over. He just stood there quietly without looking over here.

Meng'er lowered her voice and said, "She doesn't have her own palace in the palace, and she always sits at the end whenever something happens... Anyway, life in the palace is very difficult without Lin blood."

She was a little depressed: "Now that Her Royal Highness the Queen has said something about this marriage to her, and we snatched it away from her, it's reasonable for her to be angry."

She looked up. The night sky was now covered with stars, which reflected in her smiling eyes. "Look at my face. She was so angry, but it only left a red mark. If it was the strength of the housekeeper, it would have turned blue and bled."

"Oh, don't worry about it. Anyway, there might be a result at the banquet tomorrow." Meng'er turned her head away. "At worst, you will know when we get engaged."

Pei Ye was never a tactful person. He frowned at the nervous maid, and suddenly held her arm gently.

"Ah!" Meng'er cried out in pain.

"How many injuries have you suffered from falls like this?" Pei Ye glanced at her hands, which were also swollen with chilblains, obviously medals of hard work in ice-breaking. He was silent for a moment, "Every time you feel so uncomfortable, can you feel happy again by thinking about this?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Meng'er shuddered suddenly, turned her head and looked at him in a daze.

Pei Ye also looked at her speechlessly.

"...Okay." Meng'er twisted her fingers, smiled again, and said hoarsely, "I'll tell you...Don't talk nonsense."

"Um."

"The Queen...will agree to the marriage between Your Highness and Young Master Yong."

"Why?"

"Because, in fact, the Queen Mother does not agree with your Highness's marriage because of the unicorn blood in your Highness's body." Meng'er whispered, as if telling a secret, "But...but I have a way."

"What's the meaning."

"...I'm sorry Pei Ye, I kept it a secret from you before. I didn't look for the secret passage to escape." Meng'er lowered her voice very low, but when she raised her head, her eyes were sparkling. "In fact, the real legend is that the late queen left behind a method to wash away the blood from the prince's body. I think it's in the secret passage."

"...What are you thinking about?" Compared to the fairy tale about the secret passage, these inexplicable words made Pei Ye even more puzzled.

"Really, Master Pei, you are not in the palace, so you don't understand." Meng'er's face turned pale, and she said stubbornly, "They said that the late queen was a very good person. If you are sincere, she will respond to your wish... The wish of your highness and I is just to see the snow in the north."

"Why do you always believe this?"

"It's true!" This gentle maid spoke with force for the first time, her lips trembling slightly, and she looked at the young man with a pair of twinkling eyes, "Master Pei, there is... Really, there must be..."

She fell to the ground, and straightened her back to argue with him, but her lower limbs could only lie diagonally in the melted dirty snow. Her head and face were covered with broken leaves and dirty mud, and the palm print on her face was definitely not as she said, without much force, and it was now hot and red.

Pei Ye pursed her lips and was unable to speak.

All the mud and scars on her body were because of what she insisted on, including the broken leg.
