n the ground, there was a large pool of blood, glaring in the dim light, and no servants had come to clean it up. 。 。He was taken aback by the sight, and immediately walked forward, crouching down to...The carriage stopped in front of Ye Hongzhuang's dressing table. The young man who was playing the flute also put down his instrument, tilted his head and looked at her for a while, his gaze falling on the dagger she had stuck in her chest, then let out a soft "huh" and said: “What a strange person, someone with a knife stabbed in their chest can still live this long. I see that you've been bleeding all over for several hours now, aren't you going to die" Ye Hongzhuang didn't know why she hadn't died herself, but she attributed it to her good fortune, so she replied: "Perhaps Heaven pitied me and let me live." 。Please save my life, I will be eternally grateful and repay your kindness tenfold. 。“ We don't need oxen and horses. You'll soil our carriages with all that blood. We can't save” 。The carriage was about to move forward, and Ye Hongzhuang panicked—"Let me do anything, be a slave or a maid, I just want to live! You're not from Northern Qi, are you I don't care what your reason is for heading towards Lin'an, but I am from Lin'an's inner city, I know it very well. I can lead the way for you, and tell you about Lin'an City. Even if you want to know about the palace, I can tell you." 。"Believe me, I am a young lady from an official family. This misfortune is what has led me to this state. As long as you save me, I will belong to you from now on. Even if you rebel against the Northern Qi, I will help you open the gates of Lin'an!" A carriage that had just begun to move again stopped. A voice came from inside the carriage, a woman speaking: "My mistress said, 'Save!'" At the sound of "save," two young men in white robes didn't hesitate and immediately dismounted to help Ye Hongzhuang. 。One of them shoved something into Ye Hong's mouth, it seemed to be a pill, slightly bitter and dissolved instantly. 。Yehongzhuang didn't ask him what he was feeding her, anyway, the person was already like this, a dying man, what was there to be afraid ofThe man in white saw that she offered no resistance, silently nodded, sent her into the carriage, and reminded her: "Be careful of the blood on your body, don't stain our carriage." 。If you make the master disgusted, we will immediately throw you down again. 。The carriage moved again, slowly rolling forward. 。After all that commotion, Ye Hongzhuang was in so much pain she almost couldn't breathe, and felt like she might just pass out right there. 。When she finally came to, the first thing she saw was a man in a pale gold robe sitting across from her, staring at her. 。She was startled because the man's hair was completely white, but he looked only about twenty years old. 。This is a very androgynous face, with a pair of long, narrow single phoenix eyes that slant upwards slightly at the corners, coupled with his slightly upturned lips, giving off a rather alluring feeling. 。This person's lips are also thin. Remembering the rouge she put on, she recalled someone once saying that people with thin lips are the most heartless. When girls choose their husbands, if they encounter such a face, they will generally consider it more carefully. 。She had seen people who looked like boys but were girls, Night Flying Boat was one such person. 。But even though Ye Fei Zhou resembled a woman, he was incredibly handsome. Both his features and his stature were perfectly proportioned. 。This person was different, he was a little like a fairy. Ye Hongzhuang evaluated him this way in her heart. 。Such an appearance paired with such white hair, it's like a fairy or a ghost. 。This would normally be someone she'd avoid, but now she can't run away, nor does she want to. 。Because he was her only hope for survival, she had to cling to him desperately. 。Then she opened her mouth and said to the white-haired man before her, “I don't know who you are, where you came from to Lin'an City.” 。Your Majesty, there is no need to speak. I would not dare ask. All I beg is for Your Majesty to save my life. As long as I can live, I will do anything for you. 。"
The man in golden robes finally reacted, a smile spreading across his face as he leaned forward. He asked Ye Hongzhuang, "Are you truly capable of doing anything"
"Yes" 。The night's crimson makeup was applied with difficulty, the wounds on her body becoming increasingly agonizing. 。 “good” 。The man in gold robes nodded, "I saved your life, but from now on, your life belongs to me." 。You do whatever I tell you to do, and you eat whatever I tell you to eat. You cannot disobey me or refuse me. 。" 。"Ye Hongzhuang bit her lip, "But I have one request..." 。“ " 。" Kill Ye Wenyan!" "Ye Wenyan" he questioned, "Who is that" In the carriage, a woman leaned forward and whispered a few words in the golden-robed man's ear. 。The woman looked to be a few years older than the man, around thirty, and unlike the man's gold robe, she wore a skirt woven from silver thread, which was very eye-catching. 。Two people, one in gold and the other in silver, leaning against each other actually had a certain aesthetic appeal. Of course, you'd have to ignore the woman's aged appearance and those eyes like poisonous scorpions. 。"The person whom Shi Li's heart belongs to!" The man in golden robes nodded after hearing the silver-skirted woman's words, "I didn't expect that this prince would save such a great..." 。Then I'll have to think about it more. For you, to offend Shi Lifeng, is it worth it 。“
In the carriage, another person spoke up. It was an elderly man who looked very old, and it seemed his lifespan wasn't long. 。Only then did he say to the man in gold, “Your Highness, the Emperor of Beizhou is the only cultivator in this world. His abilities far surpass those of ordinary people. He can make an ordinary person vanish in the blink of an eye.” 。After finishing his words, he looked at Ye Hongzhuang again. “Who exactly are you And what are your intentions To actually mislead my son, the Crown Prince of Suyuan, to become an enemy of the Emperor!”
Ye Hongzhuang suddenly realized, "Su Yuan's Crown Prince, so it's no wonder this carriage looks so strange..."
Suyuan Kingdom, located in the northwest of Northern Qi, was the last country beyond the Gobi Desert. 。The city was built beside the water. The entire Suyuan nation had only six cities. 。But these six cities were very wealthy, producing not only spices and precious stones but also a special wax-dyeing technique. The dyed fabrics were incredibly beautiful, good enough to be made into clothing or even hung on the walls as artwork. 。Many merchants from Northern Qi would travel to the Suyuan Kingdom to trade. They would exchange goods from their own country for wax-resist dyed fabrics, and then bring them back to sell at a high price to people in their own country. 。But they all knew that the Suyuan Kingdom could only offer inferior dyed cloth in exchange. The finest dyed cloth, the Suyuan people would never sell to other countries. Only a small amount would be taken out as gifts during festivals and holidays. 。She had heard tales from before, of how palace concubines had fought over a piece of Suyuan dyed cloth, one even losing her life as a result. 。It can be seen that Suyuan dyed fabrics are very precious. 。She never expected that she would be robbed and saved by the prince of Suyuan, this is fate! Ye Hongzhuang was a little happy because she had been thinking, if the one who saved her was just an ordinary merchant or someone she had never met, she wouldn't know how to explain her identity. 。The third young miss of the General's Mansion, even if someone couldn't recognize her, they definitely would have heard of her. 。Then, not only will I be unable to save her, I might even send her back to General's Mansion to be sold. Ye Wen said this alone as a favor. 。But once she fell into Su Yuan's hands, she was no longer afraid. Su Yuan was neither a vassal state nor an ally of Northern Qi, at most it was just a neighbor who didn't fight. 。She fell into Su Yuan's hands, and Su Yuan had no reason to give her to Ye Wenyan. 。On the other hand, if she could provide useful information to Su Yuanren, she might even become a trusted advisor to this prince. 。In just a short moment, Ye Hongzhuang thought of many things, and even began to imagine the scene of Su Yuan taking over Be Qi in her mind. 。She smiled and looked at the man in the golden robe, saying, "I'm unaware of who you are. Could it be that you're Prince Suyuan" 。I have no intention of harming your majesty. I merely have a deep-seated grudge that must be avenged. 。"If His Royal Highness is afraid of that Imperial Sovereign, then please let me go. Let's just pretend we never met! I don't want to drag Your Highness into conflict with the Imperial Sovereign either. As the old man said, he is a celestial being." 。"
Night Red Makeup lowered her head and looked again at the dagger embedded in her heart
I don't know why, but ever since she ate what the young man in white gave her, the wound didn't hurt as much and she felt more energetic than before. 。She knew at once that it must be medicine. Even if it couldn't save her life, at least it could keep her going for a while longer. 。As soon as she thought of this, Yè Hóngzhuāng's mind was set. 。The country of Suyuan has always been shrouded in mystery. There are many legends about Suyuan in the Northern Qi Dynasty, including that the country worshipped a high priest and had sorcerers who could bring people back from death even after their flesh and bones turned white. 。Even some say they gained magical power from the desert, and they might even stand a chance against the Emperor of Northern Qi. 。She didn't know if those legends were true or false, but she did know that the witch doctor of Suyuan Country was powerful. 。Because the regent had once mentioned that it wasn't impossible to heal Sixth Palace Lord's injury, as long as Suyuan Witch Doctor was willing to lend a hand, even severed limbs could grow back. 。She saw hope for life. As long as Su Yuan was there, even if this knife truly pierced her heart, it would surely be healed. 。“His Royal Highness” 。"Yèhóngzhuāng started to fight for herself, “Do you want to know about the Northern Qi Dynasty I can tell you about the common people, the court, the imperial harem, and even the Yanhua Palace..." 。Would you like to know about these things If the Crown Prince wants to know, I can tell you. 。"Silence! Who are you, a demoness to be so bold" The elder was agitated. "Your Highness, do not listen to her lies. Our Suyuan Kingdom has always been stable and prosperous, there is no need to get involved with Beiji's affairs, let alone go against the one in Yanhuagong!" 。" Father 。The woman in the silver skirt also spoke, calling the old man "father". 。She said, "If we were truly content to stay put, we wouldn't have set foot on the lands of Northern Qi, nor would we be rushing towards Lin'an City." 。The old man frowned, sighed, and said no more. 。The woman in the silver skirt then asked Ye Hongzhuang, "Since you're talking about terms, why don't you state your family background and tell us who you are"Ye Hongzhuang didn't conceal anything. She immediately replied, "I am the third young lady of a first-rank general's mansion in Be Qi. I stole Ye Wenyan's marriage to one of the six princes, and she holds a grudge against me." 。Now she flatters the heavens, relying on her status as the future Empress to avenge my past humiliation for stealing her marriage. She not only stabbed me but also killed my parents. 。His Royal Highness fears the Emperor, and dares not avenge me. He could only let her throw our family into the wilderness. 。If Your Highness doesn't believe me, you can return the way you came. Just keep walking downhill from where you find me, and you'll see my parents' bodies. 。But when I crawled out, there were already wild dogs gnawing on it. I don't know how much will be left now. 。" >nd he also feels sorry for his own flesh and blood. 。Seeing that you only care for your second son and mistreat the first son's family, he, being away fighting wars, has no time to look after his home...
