Qiu Ruoruo didn't expect to meet these two people in Baiweiju.
But on second thought, this is nothing surprising. Everyone in Kyoto knows that the princess and the crown prince of that palace often come to Baiweiju to eat and drink.
That carriage was the carriage of Prince Chu's palace.
And these two people were none other than Chu Princess Jiang Xiyue and Chu King's eldest son Xiang Jinghao.
Qiu Ruoruo thought to herself that she might not be in a good mood today.
So, she thought about pretending not to see the two of them, turned around and left.
At this moment, Xiang Jinghao's voice came from behind Qiu Ruoruo.
"But Miss Qiu from Qiu Mansion?"
Qiu Ruoruo is the only one in Kyoto who can be called such by Xiang Jinghao.
Seeing that she couldn't hide, Qiu Ruoruo turned around and saluted: "I have met the princess, the prince."
Qiu Ruoruo and Xiang Jinghao had contact when they received the mission, but the two did not have a good feeling about each other directly.
Xiang Jinghao's domineering and publicity disgusted Qiu Ruoruo, especially Xiang Jinghao's contemptuous attitude towards Yu Zhi.
Today, Xiang Jinghao was surprisingly enthusiastic about Qiu Ruoruo and said, "Miss Qiu, why don't we have some snacks together? Baiweiju's Mingqian Longjing is good. It's the best time to drink it."
A few days ago, Xiao Jingyu mentioned Qiu Mansion to Xiang Jinghao, and even mentioned Qiu Ruoruo.
In the battle for the throne, Qiu Mansion plays an important role.
Xiao Jingyu visited Qiu Mansion from time to time, and it was clear that Xiao Jingyu attached great importance to Qiu Mansion.
Xiao Jingyu's attention naturally attracted Xiang Jinghao's attention. The marriage between the prince and Li Chuchen is almost a foregone conclusion, and Prime Minister Li's Mansion will definitely support the prince. Therefore, Xiao Jingyu also had to win over his supporters among civil servants.
Qiu Mansion is undoubtedly the best choice.
Qiu Ruoruo was just about to refuse when she heard Jiang Xiyue say softly: "Miss Qiu has a reputation for talent in Kyoto, and I often hear about it. We meet today, why don't we have a meal together, okay?"
Jiang Xiyue's voice was soft, and it contained a power that was hard to refuse.
Only then did Qiu Ruoruo take a look at the most mysterious princess in Kyoto.
Wearing plain clothes and light make-up, with a little bit of powder and makeup, and no accessories. The only jade item on her body is the sapphire bracelet on her wrist. She exudes a fresh and elegant temperament all over her body.
The person lives up to his name, and his face is as beautiful as the mountain stream or the bright moon beside the clouds.
Just standing there would attract others' attention and curiosity.
Qiu Ruoruo thought to herself: Is this Princess Chu?
If Qiu Ruoruo didn't know Yu Zhi's life experience, she would have a calm mood and respect the nobles in the palace, but now there is only a feeling of disgust in her heart.
This vicious woman!
Qiu Ruoruo thought for a while, nodded and said, "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."
In the private room on the third floor of Baiweiju, the three of them were sitting by the window. To the east was the huge Weiming Lake, with its sparkling waves and beautiful mountains and clear waters.
Qiu Ruoruo was eating cakes and looked up at Jiang Xiyue from time to time. She knew it was rude, but she couldn't help her curiosity.
Jiang Xiyue, what kind of person is this princess?
"Miss Qiu, this tea is good, give it a try." Xiang Jinghao made a cup of tea for Qiu Ruoruo.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qiu Ruoruo said.
Then Xiang Jinghao said: "What does Miss Qiu think of the current situation?"
Xiang Jinghao has always been direct, or people in the military have always been direct. He is like this, and so is Xiao Jingyu. Everything is said quickly.
But acting like this seems to be without any intention, but it is full of calculations, and it also reveals his own powerful background.
If you don't have a strong foundation, how can you dare to speak out without fear of disaster?
Here it comes, it turns out that there is no good tea... Qiu Ruoruo took a sip of tea and said calmly: "Under your Majesty's rule, the Haiyan River is clear, the threat of the Prairie Wolf Court has been resolved in the north, and talented people from the southern clans have emerged. , the people live and work in peace and contentment, and it can be called a prosperous age."
This can only be said in a nice way.
Xiang Jinghao shook his head and said with a smile: "You are talking about the world, not the situation of the court that I am asking about."
Qiu Ruoruo also knew the difference, but she just didn't fall into Xiang Jinghao's trap.
Xiang Jinghao was not only referring to the confrontation between civil servants and generals in the court, but also the battle for the throne.
Xiang Jinghao continued: "I might as well speak clearly. How does Qiu Mansion view the third prince, and who does he stand behind?"
The temperature in the box was a little lower, and a chill couldn't help but surge into Qiu Ruoruo's heart.
Jing Hao is really bold this time, and he is not afraid of being heard by others... Qiu Ruoruo thought to herself.
Jiang Xiyue glanced at Xiang Jinghao casually. She felt that these words were abrupt and revealed Xiang Jinghao's stupidity.
The atmosphere was dull, like a thick accumulation of dust that was difficult to wipe away.
Jiang Xiyue wanted to open her mouth to smooth things over, but she heard Qiu Ruoruo say calmly: "Qiu Fu... is your Majesty's minister, standing behind your Majesty."
Qiu Ruoruo looked at Xiang Jinghao without any fear.
Qiu Ruoruo's answer cleverly avoided the problem of the third prince.
At this time, who among the ministers in Kyoto dared to openly support the third prince.
Jiang Xiyue looked sideways at Qiu Ruoruo. Miss Qiufu's talent is well-deserved, and she is so smart that she really deserves to be the granddaughter of that old man.
After a moment of silence, Xiang Jinghao suddenly laughed.
"You and I are His Majesty's ministers, so naturally we stand behind His Majesty."
Qiu Ruoruo smiled lightly, continued to drink tea, and turned her gaze to the beautiful Weiming Lake.
At this time, the servant knocked on the door and whispered something in Xiang Jinghao's ear.
Xiang Jinghao said to Jiang Xiyue and Qiu Ruoruo: "Mother, Miss Qiu, you have a meal."
After saying that, Xiang Jinghao left the box.
Seeing this, Qiu Ruoruo also took the opportunity to say goodbye: "Princess, the little girl also said goodbye."
Jiang Xiyue said: "Ruoruo..."
Qiu Ruoruo was startled, she didn't expect Jiang Xiyue to call her like this.
Jiang Xiyue smiled gently, which was different from Xiang Jinghao's flamboyant strength. At first glance, they don't look like mother and son.
"When I was young, your grandfather and I met several times. We always called her Miss Qiu, but we were a bit different from each other. Ruoruo, do you mind if I call you like this?"
Qiu Ruoruo nodded.
Jiang Xiyue looked at Qiu Ruoruo as if she were looking at herself back then, but she didn't know that many, many years had passed.
"My maid is more than thirteen years old, and the cardamom leaves are in early February." Jiang Xiyue sighed leisurely, "Ruoruo, you just looked at me a lot."
Qiu Ruoruo said bluntly: "When I first met the princess, I felt curious. I was rude."
Jiang Xiyue smiled and looked at the scenery outside the window.
The wind blew her blue hair, and Qiu Ruoruo was stunned by her delicate profile. She couldn't help but wonder, could such a beautiful woman really be so vicious?
"Ruoruo, you lied. The way you lied is not clever." Jiang Xiyue said suddenly.
Qiu Ruoruo also followed Jiang Xiyue's gaze.
The scenery outside the window is as peaceful and gentle as the woman in front of me.
"Ruoruo, your eyes tell me what you want to know from me." Jiang Xiyue said so many words for the first time, perhaps because of her inexplicable affection for the girl in the yellow dress.
Qiu Ruoruo sighed in her heart and her eyes became particularly firm.
"Princess, do you remember the baby you gave birth to nineteen years ago?"
Some words are unpleasant to say!
...
On the meteor cliff, the third gentleman finished telling Yu Zhi's life experience in very brief words.
Li Wantong was sitting on a stone. Her legs could not support standing for a long time.
Or perhaps the life experience described by Mr. San was too tragic, which made Li Wantong feel sad.
"Yu Zhi...is his mother still alive?" Li Wantong asked.
Mr. Third said indifferently: "She is still alive and well. However, this woman was able to abandon her biological son nineteen years ago. To Yu Zhi, what does it matter whether he is alive or not?"
Li Wantong looked at Mr. Third angrily and said, "You killed Yu Zhi's father, and now you want to kill Yu Zhi. Do you really want to kill them all like this?"
The third gentleman snorted coldly, "Revenge for killing my father. With that boy's character, if he knew about this, would he let me go? It's not about killing everyone and attacking first. It's all for self-protection." "
"That kid's birth was a mistake. Or even if he died in that war, he wouldn't need to be tortured by the seven insects and seven flower poisons."
Li Wantong stared at Mr. Three, even more angry.
"Is it you who caused Yu Zhi's hidden disease?"
Mr. Third smiled noncommittally, with a hint of cruelty and treachery in that smile.
He looked towards the meteorite forest on the mountainside, and a thick smoke drifted out from it.
Immediately, Mr. Third frowned, with green flames in his eyes.
All this proves one thing - Yu Zhi is still alive.
Li Wantong also looked at the meteorite forest, praying in his heart that Yu Zhi could survive.
...
Yu Zhi hid behind a meteorite to cover his body.
Blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, there was another deep wound on his abdomen, and there were three claw marks on his right chest.
In half an hour, Yu Zhi used these injuries to exchange the lives of the other four killers.
No matter what, it's worth it.
There are three more... Yu Zhi's eyes flashed with a sharp cold light.
The remaining three were the killers who survived that night in the alley. Since the fight just now, these three people have been hiding whenever they can, trying their best to avoid a direct confrontation with Yu Zhi.
They knew the power of Biluo Qingyan better than others, so they treated Yu Zhi more cautiously.
The killer wants to live, not burn to death.
"What to do? There are only three of us left!"
"This kid is really cruel. He would trade his injuries for his life. Are he really not afraid of killing himself?"
"Whether he will play himself to death, I dare not say. I only know that if we don't fight hard, the three of us will die here!"
"Let's fight hard. If we don't kill him, we will die too."
The three of them discussed and acted together. Previously, they all hoped that other killers could kill Yu Zhi. After all, Yu Zhi only had one life. Whoever killed Yu Zhi would get the antidote.
Unfortunately, there are only three of them left.
The three of them looked at each other and surrounded Yu Zhi from three directions.
At this moment, the three of them had an incomparable tacit understanding, working together step by step, their true energy surging, and they showed off their special skills.
In terms of assassination skills and combat experience, Yu Zhi is far inferior to the three.
But Yu Zhi has many tricks.
In addition to Biluo Qingyan, he also has other trump cards.
Yu Zhi secretly smiled, took out a talisman from his arms, and held it in his hand.
If you look closely, the runes on the talisman are not yet completed, only one-third of them.
Come on, let me show you how powerful the Red Fire Talisman is!
