Chapter 17 Pretty Sister, Stop Rubbing

In Yandu, the imperial city of Huoli Kingdom, everyone looked up at the rainbow in the sky. Under the rainbow in the sky, Xiao Yu mobilized the spiritual power in his body and turned it into a ray of white light. Pass.

She landed outside the city gate near the northeast of Huoli Country, restraining her aura.

For some reason, she was suddenly curious about what panacea was contained in such an exquisite box, and she had to personally send someone to deliver it to the palace just for such a medicine.So, after looking around, she took out the box, hesitated for a moment, and opened it carefully out of curiosity.

The moment the cloud pattern box was opened, a wisp of icy white smoke came out, directly hitting Xiao Yu's face, which really shocked her.This burst of white smoke was extremely cold. At that moment, Xiao Yu's body seemed to be immersed in icy water, and his whole body shivered.

Especially in the heart, it seemed that a freezing point penetrated through the blood and veins all over her body, broke into the bottom of her heart, and even took root there.Xiao Yu was out of breath, and it took a long time for the cold feeling to fade away.

She glanced into the box, and found that it was just a dark and larger pill, and there was nothing weird about it.Thinking of Aunt Ying's temper, she thought it was the other party's punishment for opening the box at will, so she put the box away without thinking too much.

After that, she followed the flow of people entering the city, and entered the city from the northeast gate of Yandu.

This is the second time Xiao Yu has come to Yandu. She quietly let go of her senses and found the shortest way to the main street.

As expected of the largest country of the human race, the sub-main street where she was located was now lit up with lights, and lights lit up the houses on both sides of the road, and while walking, Xiao Yu suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Right now, there is a huge mansion on her right. There is a plaque hanging on the gate of the mansion, and the plaque reads "Qin Mansion".At this time, a black carriage stopped in front of the Qin Mansion, Xiao Yu's heart suddenly rose, and he stared intently at the people who got on and off the carriage.

It's a pity that the person who got off the carriage was an old man dressed in fine clothes, not the person she expected.Xiao Yu was a little disappointed, and felt that her behavior just now was a little ridiculous, so she smiled bitterly, and turned into the nearest street.

Walking to the end of this street is the most prosperous main street in Yandu.

Just after Xiao Yu's figure disappeared into the corner, another young man came down from the carriage. This man was none other than Qin Lin!It's just that after this period of time, he looked tired, and his eyes were gray and black, as if he hadn't had a good rest for a long time.

Qin Lin, who had just landed from the carriage, suddenly caught a glimpse of a white figure floating around a corner not far away, but the shadow disappeared so quickly that he thought it was his own illusion.I just wondered for a moment, and followed the old man into the Qin residence.

At this time, Xiao Yu was already walking on this familiar yet unfamiliar street. The last time she arrived, she was knocked out and dragged away in a daze. Brought to Baiyue Tower.

But this time it was different. She stopped at a small stall and looked at the unusually bright four-cornered tall building, feeling that everything seemed like yesterday.

There were some exquisite silk handkerchiefs on the stall, and Xiao Yu smiled. Under the eagerly looking eyes of the stall owner, she took out a white plain handkerchief from her bosom, and smiled at the stall owner. With a smile, he covered half of his face with a white veil.

The stall owner shook his head helplessly, and with a bitter face, he bowed back to her, and he also realized that he was a little rude.

This white handkerchief was exactly what Qin Lin used to wrap glutinous rice balls that day.

Xiao Yu paced slowly along the main street, wantonly admiring everything on the street.At this time, the lights of Wanjia are almost fully turned on, which is the busiest moment in Huoli Kingdom.And Xiao Yu is like a woman from an ordinary family, walking freely on the street, sometimes attracting the attention of some young masters.

He came across a small stall selling glutinous rice balls by chance. Those balls were spread on a large tray, covered with crispy glutinous rice grains, and lay there rolling in white. I opened my mouth to ask, but I thought that the stall owner might not be able to find her [-] gold note, so I gave up.

In a blink of an eye, she came to the front of Baiyue Tower, and she stopped involuntarily.At this moment, she saw Mrs. Bai standing at the door, as if she was greeting a distinguished guest. Coincidentally, Mrs. Bai spotted her right away.

But unexpectedly, although the white lady recognized her at a glance, she bowed her hands politely towards her.Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, and returned the salute following Mrs. Bai's example. Then Mrs. Bai smiled and walked into the gate of Baiyue Tower.

It was only then that Xiao Yu realized that even in such a different world, if a former Baiyuelou girl like her could come out alive one day and become alone, she could be treated politely by the stewards here.

Following the impression she saw in the sky, Xiao Yu walked towards the other end of the long street. At that end was the gate of the Huoli Kingdom Palace. Seeing that the sky was going to be completely dark, she stepped up and walked quickly towards the palace. go.

Because she was wearing a veil and her steps were fast, she heard the guards at the palace gate shouting at her when she was a few feet away from the palace gate.

"Who! The gate of the palace is about to be closed by curfew, what are you doing sneaking around with a veil on!"

One of the guards held a big knife in his hand, and looked murderous and majestic under the bright red lanterns at the palace gate.

Xiao Yu was so frightened by the voice that she stopped in her tracks. She looked towards the guards and felt faint spiritual power floating around in her senses. They turned out to be a group of Naxi warriors!
So, Xiao Yu took off the veil on his face, carefully put the clothes in his arms, took out the waist badge, and walked slowly towards the guard who made the sound.When she got to the guard, she exposed the token facing forward.

"I was ordered to enter the palace, please make it easier for my brothers."

Xiao Yu said very politely.He already had the royal badge, and Xiao Yu looked like a fairy, the guards were suddenly trembling, and their original fierce expressions were instantly replaced by a silly smile.

"It turns out to be someone from the Second Highness. Miss, please be polite. Please hurry up. It's almost curfew, so you have to hurry up."

The voice of the person who yelled just now became much more gentle.

Only then did Xiao Yu heave a sigh of relief, but it was the first time she came to the palace, although she had a token, she looked inside, but no one responded, which was a bit different from what she expected, so she walked towards the guard again He saluted and smiled sweetly on purpose.

"Brother, this is my first time entering the palace. My aunt used to come here, so I really don't know where the palace of the Second Highness is. Could you please arrange someone to show me the way?"

Xiao Yu narrowed his throat and said softly.

Seeing this, the guard felt pity in his heart.It's a pity that he can't leave his post without authorization, otherwise he will lose his head, so he quickly arranged for someone to take Xiao Yu into the palace gate.

Inside and outside the palace, a palace wall separated two completely different worlds.When Xiao Yu stepped into the palace, there was an inexplicable discomfort in his soul.

In this imperial palace, the glazed corrugated palace is full of glitz and glamour, but there is a strange smell.

The smell was like damp soil, and also like the sap of leaves broken after the rain. It was really indescribable. This smell was everywhere. Xiao Yu had been walking with the person who led the way for a long time, and the smell was still very strong.

Moreover, when she let go of her senses quietly in the palace, she actually felt a gloomy aura faintly in the palace. It gave her the feeling of standing in front of Dimuhuai for the first time.

These yin air masses are strong or weak, big or small, thick or light, and it is impossible to determine what they are at the moment. The only thing that can be determined is that these are living things, because they are all moving.

In sharp contrast to this gloomy atmosphere, there are several clusters of blazing heat, a palace to the east of the palace, and some places to the south.It was just because he was in a strange place, and the size of the Huoli Kingdom Palace was far beyond Xiao Yu's imagination. After all, what he saw in the sky was a distant view that had shrunk several times.

But the only thing that is certain is that there are many monks in the Huoli Kingdom Palace, the number is so large that she cannot fully detect it with her current ability.She suddenly thought that she might cause trouble if she carried out such reckless investigation, so she hurriedly restrained her breath and stopped leaking a trace of her spiritual power.

A burst of pungent aroma suddenly rushed into his mouth and nose, making Xiao Yu's nose tighten.This fragrance is not a puffing fragrance, but a weak spiritual force that is constantly spreading.Xiao Yu looked around with his sense of smell, and saw the golden arrogance, which must have been extremely luxurious, swaggering past on the spacious corridor in the palace in the distance.

The arrogance was dragged by a hazy cloud of fire, and he could walk steadily with the leader without being lifted.

Xiao Yu followed the sound of people worshiping, and saw a very beautiful young woman sitting in the arrogance. She was wearing a red palace dress, and the hem of her skirt was glittering and translucent, reflecting strange lights with the fluctuation of the arrogance.

"After the fire, quickly lower your head."

Just as she was fascinated, Xiao Yu was pulled back by the guide, signaling her to bow her head, and Xiao Yu also bowed her head very obediently.After a while, Jiao Xun left, and it took a long time for everyone to resume their original pace.

Afterwards, Xiao Yu followed the man, turned around and walked towards the east of the palace, turned into a circular arch, and came to an extremely long corridor.The footsteps of the two of them were very light, but there was a faint sound of heavy footsteps coming from the opposite side.

The voice was approaching from far away, extremely heavy, and with the footsteps, spiritual power leaked, spreading around like micro waves, without restraining at all.

In a blink of an eye, those footsteps came before Xiao Yu and the guides. Xiao Yu looked up, and she gasped at the sight.

The person who led the team wore iron armor on the lower half of his face, and his right sleeve was half empty. He was the leader of the valley trespassers that day!
Xiao Yu remembered that their master called him Yun Lie.She vaguely remembered the broad sword in Yun Lie's hand with a rotten aura. This was a person in the early Yuancheng period who could fight his master a few tricks.

The appearance of Yun Lie made Xiao Yu vigilant, his right hand had gathered spiritual power, ready to call out the sword at any time.And Yun Lie waved his hand behind him, everyone behind him stopped in the distance, only Yun Lie walked slowly towards Xiao Yu.

At this time, Xiao Yu's fingertips had already touched the hilt of the sword in the Broken Realm.But what was strange was that Yun Lie came to her, bent down respectfully, clasped his fists in his hands, and saluted her.

"Master has been waiting for a long time, I am here to pick up the girl."

After finishing speaking, Yun Lie still didn't get up, as if he was waiting for Xiao Yu's reply, more like trying to dispel Xiao Yu's worries deliberately through actions, because he noticed the spiritual power revealed by Xiao Yu's fingertips, and the faint expression in her eyes. murderous.

The guide saw someone approaching from the Second Highness's palace, so he said hello and left.Leaving Xiao Yu alone, he confronted this group of people silently.

"Girl, you don't have to be like this. It was just a misunderstanding that day. Now that you are free, I have also been punished. Besides, my master has some friendship with alchemists. Please let me go to see my master."

As he spoke, he made a "please" gesture.

Even so, Xiao Yu still hesitated.She looked around and saw that this group of monks in the early Yuancheng period was all familiar, and all of them looked at Xiao Yu with strange eyes, evasive, as if they were a little afraid of her.

As for the reason, Xiao Yu suddenly thought of something.So she put away her sword, her eyes slowly swept across the armored monks in front of her, and finally stopped on Yun Lie.

"you go first."

At this moment, Xiao Yu can somewhat understand Hu Taoer's vigilance. She is in a similar situation to Hu Taoer back then, and she has a lot of distrust for these people in front of her.

Xiao Yu's reaction made Yun Lie stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses, turned around and walked behind him.And those people who were following behind him were waiting for Xiao Yu to leave first, but when they raised their heads, they met Xiao Yu's firm eyes of refusal.

Xiao Yu slightly tilted his head towards Yun Lie who was in front, signaling that he would be the last one, so those people quickly understood and quickly followed Yun Lie's footsteps.

So a team dressed in black quickly moved towards the east palace, followed by a woman in white at the end of the team, who was still holding the white sword hilt in Xiangduanjie.

The group of them walked quickly, and in a blink of an eye, they came to a palace on the east side. The residence of His Highness the Second Highness of Huo Li Kingdom was very extravagant, and it was very far inside.

Countless beautiful-looking servants and servants passed by Xiao Yu. All of them had snow-like skin and enchanting figures, and they all had the same shining point, that is, they were very fair and beautiful.Every step she took was like shaking the ground, making her heart jump with joy, and she couldn't help but look at it several times.

Of course, she also looked down at her body, and then sighed.

She was brought to a palace by Yun Lie. On the gate of the palace, there were four large black and gold characters "Hengshun All Beings".

The sky is now completely dark, even with the best palace lanterns in the palace, it can't withstand the ruthless suppression of the night.The grandeur of the palace all the time shows the royal demeanor, and the top of the group building is hidden under the night, which makes these words even more majestic.

She followed the maid to a hall. In front of the hall, there was a three-character plaque with three characters written in gold lacquer on it, "Hesheng Hall".

squeak...

There was a long sound, and the gate of the palace was pushed open from the inside. Two extremely beautiful maids came out twisting their postures.

"Girl, please come inside."

Under the guidance of those two maids, Xiao Yu stepped into the Hall of Hesheng.She followed behind the maids, her eyes were attracted by their plump backs, and the twist of this step was really dazzling.

Xiao Yu couldn't help sighing in his heart, this Huoli Kingdom Palace is really intoxicating, and the Second Highness really knows how to enjoy it.

The lights in the Hall of Hesheng were very bright. As soon as he entered it, Xiao Yu smelled a fresh scent of tea.She followed the smell and looked inside, and there was a glazed bead curtain hanging outside a hall, inside the bead curtain there was the sound of boiling water rolling in the pot, and water vapor occasionally escaped from the gaps in the bead curtain.

Behind the bead curtain, as Xiao Yu had sensed before, was a fiery spiritual power.Now standing in front of that person, she actually felt that the other person was like a darkly burning fire, and she didn't even hide her late Yuancheng cultivation, spreading the hot spiritual power wantonly outside her body.

Obviously the spells practiced by the people behind the curtain must be related to flames.

The maid Xue Baisong lightly grabbed the bead curtain with her fingers, and opened up the world behind it. A dark blue figure emerged from the water vapor, clearly catching her eyes.

This person was wearing a dark blue brocade robe, a purple gold crown on his head, jet-black hair hanging behind his back, his side face was graceful and handsome, with light-colored lips under his slightly pale skin.

He sat cross-legged in front of a tea sea on a small bamboo platform, and his slender fingers exposed under his blue robe were fiddling with the tea set in his hand.In front of him is a suspended flame, on which sits a delicate teapot.

When he noticed Xiao Yu's arrival, he finally turned his face away.

The smile is like the breeze, the eyebrows and eyes are like the stars, I'm afraid this is how to describe such a good-looking person.And this person is the living corpse that Ji Xing said!But Xiao Yu knew very little about living corpses. She only felt that the person in front of her was no different from ordinary people, and even more popular.

This person's name is Li Fusheng, he is the second son of Li Yan, the king of the Huoli Kingdom, and he is also known as the Second Highness by the palace people.

"You are here, come and sit."

Li Fusheng showed a slight smile towards Xiao Yu, his lips lacked some blood color, and against the background of the blue robe on his body, he looked too fair, and it could even be said that he was a little sick.

Xiao Yu hesitated for a moment, the tea smell was really pleasant, and she had to order to hand over the things to the other party herself, so although she hesitated, she still walked towards Li Fusheng.

Coming to the low bamboo table, Xiao Yu knelt and sat down on the soft futon that had already been laid out.While she was sitting down, Li Fusheng picked up the teapot from the floating flame, and carefully poured tea into the cup in front of her.

"Longjing before Ming Dynasty, the best bud and leaf this spring, just arrived this morning, try it."

As he spoke, Li Fusheng picked up the teacup in his hand, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, and nodded repeatedly.He took a small sip, drank the tea in two sips, then put down the cup, and looked up at Xiao Yu again, with a look of expectation in his eyes.

Xiao Yu stared at the tea in front of him, complaining in his heart, and wanted to leave after delivering the things. Obviously, the Second Highness is a hospitable person, and he poured the tea himself.

So, she had no choice but to pick up the tea clumsily, with a good appearance, imitating the way the other party smelled it, and found it quite fragrant, and the temperature was just right for drinking.

She was going to drink it all in one gulp, and finish it quickly.

The so-called wild boars can't eat fine chaff, maybe it's because of her nervousness, she choked on just a sip of tea, and she couldn't hold her hand firmly, and the rest of the tea accidentally spilled on her chest .

The maids behind her also had good eyesight. Seeing her like this, one of them hurried forward and wiped her chest with a soft handkerchief.The maid knelt on the ground, her body was slightly lower than her, and as the maid helped her wipe the water stains on her chest, the maid's chest also trembled.

Looking at the scene in front of her, Xiao Yu suddenly felt shy. Although she is also a woman, who can bear it?What's even more embarrassing is that this maid has some, but she doesn't. If she doesn't have one, then why bother!
In embarrassment, he glanced at Li Fusheng on the opposite side, and the strange thing was that the other party's eyes fell on his own, and he frowned for a moment.She thought she was wrong, but after repeated confirmation, Li Fusheng's eyes were indeed on her, not the low-cut maid.

Xiao Yu was greatly puzzled by this scene.

"That... this beautiful sister, don't wipe it, besides, I really have nothing to wipe, you take a break."

While talking, Xiao Yu gently pushed the maid's hand away.After hearing that, the maid showed a shocked look on her face, and then she seemed to understand what Xiao Yu meant, her face blushed immediately, and she stepped back very shyly.

"You are really interesting, very similar to a friend of mine."

Li Fusheng on the opposite side laughed when he saw this, and the maid behind him was surprised when he saw this, as if it was the first time he heard such words from the master.

Li Fusheng's reaction also made Xiao Yuyun confused, but it's normal to think about it, how could a high-ranking prince in the largest country of the human race invite an ordinary woman from outside to drink tea casually.

It turned out to be the case.

Li Fusheng took a clean teacup and poured her another cup of tea.Xiao Yu found that the other party was very serious about pouring tea every time, not just for fun, but because he loved this matter from the bottom of his heart.

"But there are some differences. She has been dead for a long time."

As soon as she picked up the teacup, the other party's words came out, causing Xiao Yu's hand to stay on the teacup. Whether she put it down or not, she felt a little strange when she picked it up.She raised her head, her eyes were complaining, even slightly angry.

The other party poured tea for herself and said that she looked like a dead person, so Xiao Yu looked at the tea in her hand and wondered whether she should drink it or not.

"Then, is this cup of tea for your dead friend, or for me?"

Xiao Yu took the tea in his hand, thought for a moment, and then asked the other party.

"One period and one meeting, it's not easy to meet each other, please invite the girl to have some tea."

Although Li Fusheng expressed his intentions, in the end, Xiao Yu still didn't drink that cup of tea.

She took out the moiré box that Aunt Ying had given her from the broken world, and put it in front of Li Fusheng.

"This is what Aunt Ying asked me to give to your highness. Now that I have brought it, I am allowed to say goodbye so that your highness will not be delayed from drinking tea and remembering friends."

With that said, Xiao Yu was about to get up and leave.But as soon as she turned around, she saw the face of the maid behind her with a perplexed expression, just wondering, Li Fusheng's voice came from behind her.

"The key to the palace gate has been unlocked. If you open the gate for no reason, I'm afraid it will break the rules. I'll ask someone to clean up a side hall..."

But before Li Fusheng finished speaking, Xiao Yu fell down in front of him.She just hit the ground hard so suddenly, unconscious.

An afterimage of flames was left on the bamboo platform, and Li Fusheng came over in an instant, squatting beside Xiao Yu to see what happened.

He found that the whole body of the person in front of him was frozen stiff, and the exposed skin was covered with a thin layer of ice dust. With her rapid breathing, an extremely cold air flowed out, and even the eyelashes and eyebrows were covered with ice. With hoarfrost.
