The front gate of the Southern King's Mansion, which used to be filled with people and birds, had become bustling with noise and excitement. Before Qiu had the chance to turn around, someone handed over a card.
"My respects, Butler Qiu. This humble servant is Vice Minister Li's servant. I have specially come to deliver a greeting letter for my master!"
Hearing that it was Vice Minister Li's greeting letter, Steward Qiu's originally impatient face broke into a smile.
"My prince is at his residence. If the vice minister wishes to see him, I can go inform him immediately!"
"No …" No! Butler has misunderstood. My master wishes to pay his respects to the Grandmaster Destiny! "
Seeing that Butler Qiu had misunderstood, Vice Minister Li's servants quickly expressed their lord's intentions.
"Master Destiny?" But we don't have any Grandmaster Destiny in our house! "
Steward Qiu had been speaking like this all day. He had been the steward of the Southern King's Residence for several years, but he had never heard of any master of heaven's will in the Residence of the Southern King!
"How is that possible? Yesterday, in the Southern Palace, many people saw the Southern King take away the Grandmaster Heavenly Fate. Could it be that the Southern King wants to hide the Grandmaster Heavenly Fate? "
Although the Southern King was the emperor's younger brother, he did not have any real power. Furthermore, his body was weak, so some powerful ministers did not have much respect for him. Even his servants did not have any respect for him.
"I am not sure what happened in the Southern Palace yesterday, but it is true that there is no one like Grandmaster Destiny. Therefore, Sir Minister, you should go back!"
After he finished speaking, Qiu went around the servant and lightly raised his hand towards the nearby Little Jiao.
"You all … This is sure to offend a lot of people! "
Vice Minister Li's servant was very unconvinced. His family's lord could be considered a person with a lot of reputation, but now, not only did he come personally, he even handed over a greeting card. Although the etiquette was so complete, he was still refused at all.
"Hehe, then there's no need for Vice Minister to worry about this. Nine out of ten influential people like Sir Vice Minister, I've offended you today!"
Steward Qiu's face was full of sadness. He, who valued peace, had made a lot of enemies for his prince.
"You …"
"Alright, let's go back to the residence!"
Vice Minister Li's servant still wanted to say something, but the person in the palanquin finally spoke. The family servant immediately shut up, and then jogged all the way to the palanquin.
"My lord, the steward of the Southern King is too arrogant. Are you just going to let him off the hook like that?"
"Hmph, if I don't find trouble with him, it doesn't mean that others won't find trouble with him either. Since the Southern King dares to openly take away the Heaven's Path Grandmaster, it probably won't be that easy for him to own it all!" "I am waiting to add fuel to the fire!"
Hearing the words of his master, the servant at the side revealed a look of schadenfreude. After the sedan chair had left, Qiu Chao could not help but shake his head and sigh.
"Sigh!" Another enemy! Tell me, what does Grandmaster Destiny look like? If she had not appeared, the Southern King's Mansion would have been destroyed by these people! "
As he spoke, he turned around.
"That won't do. Perhaps I should ask His Highness again and let him think it over. Is Grandmaster Destiny really in his mansion?"
"Excuse me, is there a …"
"No!"
Just as Qiu Chao turned around, he heard another question from behind him. Hearing such an unfamiliar question, Qiu Chao turned around and answered without any hesitation.
However, this time, it was not the evil servant of a high official but an especially pretty little girl. It seemed that the firm reply from Qiu Chao scared this little girl quite a bit, who stared at him without replying for a long time.
"Little lady, we really don't have a Grandmaster Heavenly Fate in our residence!"
Facing this lively girl, Qiu Chao could not afford to be angry. He could only patiently explain.
"I am not looking for the Heaven's Destiny master, I am!" The Xue Manor people said that the young lady had married the Southern King's highness, so … "I am here …"
"Ah?" "Are you the girl serving the wangfei?"
As compared to those influential figures who sought out the Heaven's Destiny masters, Qiu Chao was more interested in this girl. After all, this was the truth.
Although he already planned to buy some girls to order from the princess, it was not easy to find girls these days. Besides, the situation in the mansion was quite special, so the girls who served the princess naturally had to find trustworthy people. That was why the Qiu Dynasty was troubled these days.
"Princess? Is the wangfei you're talking about my young mistress? "
The news of the young miss's marriage scared Qing He, and she still couldn't believe it. But no matter what, she had to come and ask about it.
"Hehe! Silly girl, my wangfei is obviously your young miss, unless your young miss isn't Miss Xue Feixue!"
"Yes …" My family's young miss is also called Snowfly! "
Hearing the name of the young miss, Qing He was extremely excited.
"Alright, since that's the case, follow me into the manor!"
Butler Qiu happily led Qing He into the mansion.
Not long after Qing He entered the manor, in a restaurant not far from the Southern King Manor, a grey clothed man who was monitoring the Southern King Manor said to his companion,
"Quickly go and report to the Prince that a lady from the Southern King's Estate has entered!"
Hearing this person's words, the person who received the message quickly left.
Zhao Xiaoxue was completely unaware of what had happened outside the Southern King's Mansion. It was with great difficulty that she opened her eyes and discovered that she had returned to the Warm Jade Pavilion. Seeing that there was no one around, she suddenly felt somewhat disappointed:
"Chu Yufeng, that bastard, left me alone again!"
"What are you talking about?"
Just as Zhao Xiaoxue finished speaking, a purple figure walked in from outside. The person was dressed in a purple robe and was very handsome. It was a figure that would make anyone's heart beat whenever they saw him.
"No …." Nothing! I just want to tell you one thing! "
What happened in the Southern Palace, Zhao Xiaoxue believed it wasn't a dream, she had always wanted to find an elementalist, she hadn't expected that she was actually an elementalist. She didn't know if she had any way to help Chu Yufeng, if it was possible, why would she want to go further?
"What is it? Say it! "
Chu Yufeng's expression was indifferent, but he also had a lot of doubts. Originally, he wanted to ask Bu Li about it, but since that guy had returned to his residence, he seemed to have deliberately avoided his presence.
"I... Maybe he's also an Origin Doctor! "
Zhao Xiaoxue didn't try to hide it. After all, everyone had seen what had happened in the Southern Palace. Even though she had covered her face, Chu Yufeng still knew about it.
"Oh, really? You're not sure yourself? "
Chu Yufeng was not an elemental doctor, so he could not see through her elemental energy. Therefore, it was up to her to decide whether or not she was an elemental doctor.
"There are some uncertainties, but I can give it a try …"
Zhao Xiaoxue pulled Chu Yufeng along as she ran outside. Arriving outside of the Warm Jade Pavilion, Zhao Xiaoxue looked around. There were bamboo everywhere, it was very difficult to find a lotus leaf.
"Are you looking for this?"
Hearing the man's question, Zhao Xiaoxue quickly turned around and saw a lotus leaf appearing out of nowhere in Chu Yufeng's hand.
"That's it! So you were also looking forward to it, right? "
Since Chu Yufeng was able to prepare the lotus leaves in advance, it was evident that he also wanted to know if this woman was an doctor or not.
"I am looking forward to it!"
Chu Yufeng did not want to lie. He wished so much that a woman was a level 6 physician. That way, he would have a chance at survival.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely …" "Huh?"
Zhao Xiaoxue originally wanted to say something comforting, but when she stretched out her hands, she realized that the water vapor that should have appeared did not appear.
"Strange? Is the gesture wrong? "
Thinking of this, Zhao Xiaoxue stood in front of the lotus leaf, seriously changing hand gestures. However, just like before, the steam didn't appear.
The process was repeated many times, but no matter how Zhao Xiaoxue changed, the water vapor seemed to have never existed before. It never appeared before Zhao Xiaoxue's line of sight.
"What exactly is going on? "Why is it that it doesn't appear?"
Zhao Xiaoxue looked at her fingers and felt like flipping them over.
"Forget it, what happened yesterday might just be a coincidence!"
Hearing the man's words, Zhao Xiaoxue turned around dejectedly. She didn't know why, but her steam had disappeared. The person Zhao Xiaoxue felt the most sorry for was the man beside her.
"I'm sorry, I'm really useless. I thought I was an elementalist, but I didn't expect that the fake name was the fake name. How can it become real!"
"Alright, that's alright. Maybe it's the will of heaven!"
Chu Yufeng comforted the woman.
"But that feeling is so real. I wish I could feel it again!"
Zhao Xiaoxue was looking forward to the kind of energy that was full of life. It would give people unlimited confidence, as if it could cure everyone.
"Your highness, wangfei, there's a maidservant of Lady Qing He who claims to be the wangfei. She wishes to request to see the wangfei, I don't know …"
Outside the yard, Butler Qiu's voice was heard.
"Qing He!"
Hearing the name 'Qing He', Zhao Xiaoxue quickly rushed over. Seeing this, Qiu Chao stopped talking. It seemed that Qing He and this wangfei really had a good relationship.
"Qing He, you're here!"
Zhao Xiaoxue ran out of the Warm Jade Pavilion and saw Qing He's figure. She had not had the chance to reminisce about the past, but now that she saw Qing He, she no longer had to worry about anything else.
"Miss, this servant has finally met you. This servant will never part with you again. This servant will serve you for the rest of my life!"
In Qing He's eyes, the little miss was everything because she hadn't forgotten that a few years ago, if she hadn't been saved by the little miss, she would have become a ghost by now.
At that time, Miss was wise and brave, but within two days of her entry, Miss suffered from seven days of amnesia. It was really disheartening. How could such a good person be affected by such a disease?
"Qing He, I don't want to separate from you either!"
Zhao Xiaoxue believed that Qing He truly treated her well. Zhao Xiaoxue was truly reluctant to see such a good Qing He.
"But Miss, why did you marry the Southern King? The Southern King is a ghost with a short lifespan. Not only will he not live long, his body will not be able to handle it! "
Although they had just met, Qing He couldn't understand why her young mistress was married to a sickly King, so she couldn't help but ask.
"Eh, this is a long story! I'll explain it to you in the future! "
Zhao Xiaoxue knew that Qing He was concerned about her, but Chu Yufeng was in the yard. If she was heard by him, he would definitely be angry.
"Sigh!" Young miss, you should be careful, the Southern King has made too many enemies, and there are many people who are looking for trouble with the Southern King. We better stay far away from the Southern King and wait for him to die, young miss … "
"Qing He, come take a look. This is the Warm Jade Pavilion that I live in. The courtyard is not bad and you will be living here from now on!"
As Qing He's words became more and more outrageous, Zhao Xiaoxue had no choice but to divert her words.
"Miss lives in the Warm Jade Pavilion? Could Miss and the Southern King have … Sigh! Young Miss' fate is really bitter. Although the Southern King's body is obviously not strong, he actually treated young miss like this … Aiya, the Southern King is such a harming person! "
Zhao Xiaoxue finally changed the topic and wanted to bring Qing He into the yard to have a look, but she didn't expect this girl to start spouting nonsense again.
"Qing He, it's not like what you know. The Southern King is actually very good. Moreover, I truly like him!"
Previously, she was worried that Chu Yufeng would be angered, but now that she heard Qing He's words, Zhao Xiaoxue realized that she wasn't happy either.
"Miss, are you serious? You really like His Highness the Southern King? "
Qing He swallowed his saliva. Just then, the little miss was a little scary. She had been nagging in the little miss's ears for a long time, and the little miss always had a weak look.
"Of course I like him. Moreover, I am also willing to live and die with him. So, Qing He, don't speak bad about him anymore!"
Zhao Xiaoxue had always been very grateful towards Qing He, but apart from this, she didn't know much about Qing He. Originally, she didn't plan to hide the matter between her and the Southern King from Qing He, but now it seemed that there were some things that she couldn't tell Qing He.
"Mm …" Fine! Since young miss has already said so, the Qing He shall naturally obey! "
After hearing the young lady's words, Qing He secretly made up her mind. When the Southern King really drove the crane to the west, she would definitely think of a way to protect the young lady.
However, the young miss was now completely befuddled by the Southern King's appearance, so she had to find an opportunity in the future to cut off the young miss's infatuation.
Hearing Qing He's reply, Zhao Xiaoxue nodded slightly. Chu Yufeng was still in the courtyard. As long as Qing He didn't speak carelessly, she would dare to bring him in front of her.
"Qing He, actually the Southern King …"
The young miss wanted to speak but stopped. Qing He was confused.
"What happened to the Southern King?"
When the two of them arrived at the courtyard, Qing He found that the courtyard was not small at all. Although the surroundings were filled with bamboo, the scenery was very pleasing.
"En..." "Where is he?"
Zhao Xiaoxue looked into the yard. When she ran out of the yard earlier, Chu Yufeng was clearly in the yard. Why was he nowhere to be seen?
"Miss, who is it? This courtyard is so big, but I don't think I saw anyone! "
Qing He began to familiarize herself with the courtyard. After all, this was the environment she would be living in from now on.
"That's right!" The courtyard is huge, but there aren't many people here! "
Chu Yufeng left without a word. Zhao Xiaoxue was a bit confused. Could it be because of Qing He's words, or because she was disappointed that she was unable to bring out the full strength of her doctor?
While Zhao Xiaoxue was lost in her thoughts, Qiu stood outside the yard again.
"Could esteemed wangfei please prepare a bit? Esteemed empress dowager invited you!"
