C11 Snowflake Epiphyllum

"Your Majesty, these are the jade pendants that we found in the corner of the Dali Temple." Lin Xiaotian handed over the jade pendant with both hands and lowered his eyes.

The Emperor took the jade pendant from Eunuch Zhu and looked at it. He slammed the table and said, "Where is Jun Liye now?"

After a while, Jun Liye stepped into the Imperial Reading Room and saw Lin Xiaotian kneeling in the room. He paused for a moment and then looked away as if nothing had happened.

He restrained his expression and flung his skirt. He knelt beside Lin Xiaotian and said, "Greetings, Father. I don't know why you are looking for me. What do you want?"

The Emperor snorted and said, "Since you found this item today, do you know who it belongs to?" He raised the jade pendant in his hand and asked sternly.

"There are many jade pendants in this world. How can I know who owns this jade pendant?" Jun Liye raised his eyes and looked at the jade pendant. His heart skipped a beat, but he replied calmly.

"Don't try to cover up for this poisonous woman with ulterior motives. Quickly capture her and interrogate her. We must find out the purpose of the Miaojiang and her relatives." The Emperor was furious when he heard Jun Liye's refusal.

Jun Liye squinted his eyes and straightened his back. He looked straight into the Emperor's eyes and said, "This item alone cannot determine that the owner of the jade pendant is the Saintess. I want to see who dares to frame the Saintess."

The officials hiding behind the curtain shivered and lowered their heads.

"You!"

The Emperor stretched out his trembling finger and pointed at Jun Liye, covering his chest.

If it wasn't for the fact that Jun Liye had made a name for himself in the war and held the power of the army, he would have ordered the arrest of the man.

"If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first." Jun Liye ignored the Emperor's gloomy expression and left.

The Empress was dressed in a flowing phoenix robe. Her hair was neatly combed and she wore exquisite and luxurious golden hairpins and golden armor. She was wearing thick makeup and her entire body exuded dignity and dignity.

Passing by the courtiers kneeling outside the hall, she walked into the Imperial Reading Room without looking at them. The light behind her gradually dimmed.

"Emperor, please calm down. Pay attention to the dragon body."

Under the Empress's hand gesture, the Emperor gradually calmed down and roared, "This Jun Liye is getting more and more lawless. Does he think that I can't deal with him?"

"Emperor, you are the ruler of a country. The Southern Pacifying King has always been obedient. This time, I am worried that the Saintess has used a method to confuse the hearts of the people. She is still alive and is still trying to lure the Southern Pacifying King to speak up for her. I'm afraid that the Saintess is plotting to take the throne."

The Empress's face was filled with worry, but she was secretly pleased in her heart.

This meant that the Emperor would have some dissatisfaction with the Southern Pacifying King for usurping the throne.

Ever since Jun Liye had killed the Princess, the Emperor was more at ease with him. The other princes below him were not allowed to speak up. Now that there was a breakthrough point, how could he let go of this opportunity!

Hearing that, the Emperor looked in the direction Jun Liye had left.

Jun Liye strode into the study and sensed that there was someone in the room. He unsheathed his sword and turned around, placing the sword on Shuangyao's neck.

He looked at Shuangyao and was stunned for a moment. After a while, he reacted and said coldly, "Who allowed you to come in? Get out!"

"I heard that you fought with the Confucians for me today. Should I thank you for protecting me?" Shuangyao ignored the sword on Jun Liye's neck and mocked him.

Then, she stared at Jun Liye with mockery in her eyes. She gently pushed away the edge of the sword with her finger. "I didn't expect you to be so loyal to the Princess. How did the Princess die?"

Jun Liye's hand, which was hanging low, trembled slightly when he heard that.

He slowly turned his eyes and sheathed his sword. His cold voice slipped out of the corner of his mouth. "It has nothing to do with you! What did you want to do when you barged into the Dali Court?" He stared at Shuangyao with a probing gaze.

"I can't tell you." Shuangyao moved her feet lightly and her fingers swept across the paintings on the bookshelves. Her eyes swirled. "Reviving the Princess requires a rare medicinal herb. I wonder if you have..."

Before Shuangyao could finish her words, Jun Liye pulled her shoulder and she felt the world spin around her. She wanted to scold him.

He interrupted her again. "What medicinal herb? Tell me, I'll go find it."

Jun Liye seemed to not notice her cold eyes. He grabbed Shuangyao's shoulders with both hands and lowered his head as he stared at her nervously.

This kind of concentrated gaze caused Shuangyao to be startled. The corner of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a mocking and cold expression.

"It's really touching. This medicinal herb is said to grow in the snow all year round, and it can be considered as a Snowflake Epiphyllum. Everyone knows that the Snowflake Epiphyllum only appears once in a lifetime. Only by completely plucking the flower in this moment will it have its medicinal effect."

Jun Liye's eyes widened as a ray of light flashed across his eyes. He smiled in pleasant surprise, like a peach blossom that bloomed in the night, beautiful to the point of moving people.

Shuangyao looked at his pretentious appearance and snorted coldly. She could not bear to see him happy, "Do you know where the Snowflake Epiphyllum is? Do you know when the Snowflake Epiphyllum blooms?"

Jun Liye, who had turned around and left, froze. He fiercely pulled out his sword and fiercely pressed it against Shuangyao's neck. He gritted his teeth and said, "Don't think that I don't dare to kill you."

"Up to you."

Shuangyao was sure that Jun Liye would not dare to touch her. Her provocative gaze landed on his eyes, and the curve of her lips deepened. She ignored the sword that had caused blood to flow out of her neck.

Jun Liye fiercely flung away the sword and grabbed Shuangyao's neck with both hands. "Where is the Snowflake Epiphyllum?"

Shuangyao's face flushed red. Her red lips parted slightly as she slowly spat out a place. She looked at Jun Liye coldly and left the Southern Pacifying King's Mansion without looking back.

"Stupid!" The Snowflake Epiphyllum did not exist at all. She had only purposely sent him away.

When Yue Qing and Lateral Consort Lo found out that Shuangyao was being protected by Jun Liye, they swept away the things on the dressing table and were even more jealous of Shuangyao.

A bright moon hung in the sky. The cold breeze whistled through the air. Shuangyao once again came to the roof of the Dali Court and found Lin Dong's room. She opened the tiles and gently threw a stone onto Lin Dong's body.

Shuangyao blinked and hooked her finger. She turned around and left the roof.

"Why are you here?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Dong suddenly felt pain in his stomach. It gradually spread throughout his entire body. He knelt on the ground in agony, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead. He bit his lips and groaned in pain.

Shuangyao squatted down with a smile and admired Lin Dong's painful posture. "I heard that you gave my jade pendant to my Emperor today. Have you ever thought about the pain of midnight?"

"What do you want to do?"

Lin Dong spat out the words with difficulty. He clenched his fists tightly on the ground and glared at Shuangyao with red eyes.

Shuangyao chuckled and opened her thin lips. Her voice was like the spring water of an iceberg.

"Tomorrow night, take the roster of the men of the Southern Pacifying King's Mansion and meet in the forest outside the mansion. If you play any tricks this time, you won't know what the consequences will be."
