Even if he is as smart as the sky, he cannot guess the purpose of Shangguan City.
There was a knock on the door, and housekeeper Liu came in with a discreet step, carrying two spiritual meals. Before leaving, Luo Li called the man to stop.
"Uncle Butler, may I ask you something?"
Butler Liu glanced at Luo Li and frowned, "Young Master, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Luo Li stopped Butler Liu and said, "If Uncle Butler doesn't cooperate, don't blame us for being rude."
Butler Liu had naturally seen everything in the world, and he could tell at a glance that Luo Li's words were intended to scare him.
"What do you want to ask, young master?"
"Why do all the concubines in Shangguan City die after getting married?"
Butler Liu thought about it again and again, "Young Master, if I tell you something, please don't tell anyone."
Luo Li knew there was something behind his words, "Okay, please tell me clearly."
"The wife of the Eighteenth House before we went to the government did not die, but was secretly sent away."
"Where to send it?"
"The place of freedom they long for."
Luo Li sneered, "What the housekeeper said is really cryptic."
"What the old slave said is true. I have been in Shangguan Mansion all my life, and this is the first time I have seen a 'different bride' in these years.
In the past, brides would be sent away secretly on their wedding night. "
Just today, I saw someone who was so alive and dared to threaten his master.
The butler seemed to have started talking, "Actually, the missing brides my husband married are all dying women from all over the world."
Luo Li: "..."
"My master is a good man! He is not a bully as rumored by the outside world.
The outside world says that he is greedy for beauty, but this is not the case.
Many years ago, the master had a real wife, who was the only woman he held in his heart and loved deeply.
But that year, my wife passed away.
The lady was kind-hearted and an alchemist. During her lifetime, she helped many desperate people.
Her thoughts are different from others. Madam believes that even a woman should be independent.
She believes that the responsibility of the so-called strong is to protect the weak, not to bully them.
At first, the master saved many people according to his wife's last wish.
But those who were let go could not escape the fate of being strangled once they left the protection of Shangguan Mansion.
Later, the master came up with a way.
marriage.
Protect them in the name of 'Mrs. Shangguan' for the rest of your life.
After all, no one dares to mess with the master’s position in the Suzaku Empire. Others would not dare to go to the government easily.
This is also the reason why it is rumored that the master often gets married.
As time goes by, the rumors from the outside world become more and more unbearable.
Even if he is infamy for thousands of years, as long as he has a clear conscience, he doesn't care.
He was just secretly fulfilling the last wish left by his wife. "
Luo Li didn't expect the answer he got would be like this.
In this world, there are some people who appear to be good people but secretly do all kinds of evil.
Some people are bullies on the surface, but they are good people secretly.
"Young master, I came here with the master and never told anyone else about it.
The young master and I confessed this matter so that we would not be enemies of the master.
He has never done anything wrong to others, and he deserves a good death. "
The only thing that Butler Liu is afraid of is Yun Jiuxiao.
This person has extraordinary nobility and unfathomable strength. If he is an enemy of the master, I am afraid that the master will be in trouble.
He would rather confess the matter than protect his master's safety.
Luo Li naturally understood Butler Liu's good intentions, but she was still confused, "Yun Jiuxiao is a man, does your master usually treat men like this?"
"No, your young master is the only person I truly care about."
Luo Li: "..."
Yun Jiuxiao raised his eyes: "Huh?"
Butler Liu lowered his head and said sarcastically: "My wife also passed away during the process of cultivation. At that time, I was protecting her in the room, but because I didn't know what to do at that time, I wasted the time to treat my wife.
This has always been a problem for the master.
Later, every time I met someone who was in danger due to cultivation, I would rescue them.
Over time, the master became very good at this aspect of treatment.
But it's a pity that he can never save the person who is close to his heart. "
Luo Li looked at Yun Jiuxiao, and it turned out that it was because of this.
No wonder Xifang is a place with rich spiritual energy and suitable for healing. It turned out that Shangguancheng had already thought of it.
The night is silent.
Shangguancheng was lost in the room. He heard the movement and saw Luo Li standing at the door. He was a little surprised, "Why are you here? Aren't you afraid that I will do something to you secretly?"
"Senior has no intention of dealing with us, so why should he pretend to be so vicious?"
Shangguan Cheng frowned, listening to Luo Li's tone, which was obviously different from the previous tit-for-tat confrontation.
"Old Liu must be talking nonsense to you again."
Luo Li smiled.
Shangguan Cheng looked away, "Now that you all know, I won't hide it anymore. Indeed, my saving the beauty was not planned, but an accident."
Luo Li looked at him intently, "Then why did senior send someone to follow us at the inn? As soon as we entered Fengcheng, we felt the person you sent."
Shangguancheng chuckled and said, "I just saw you and Di Sheng entering Fengcheng together."
"Dorsheng recruited five people, but the senior only followed me. Why is that?"
Shangguancheng chuckled, and a flash of deepness flashed in his eyes, "Do you have spiritual bones in your body?"
Luo Li didn't expect that Shangguancheng would ask this, so he nodded immediately, "Yes."
"Just think that I covet spiritual bones."
Luo Li raised his eyebrows, knowing that Shangguancheng must have found a random reason.
If Shangguancheng didn't say anything, Luo Li knew that he couldn't find out no matter how he asked.
Luo Li was about to leave, but Shangguancheng suddenly stopped her, "By the way, are you going to enter the Imperial Tomb the day after tomorrow?"
Luo Li blinked and nodded, "Yeah."
Shangguan Cheng lowered his eyes, "But the beauty beside you is too seriously injured. Even if you take the elixir to hide her aura, I'm afraid I won't be able to deceive Di Sheng."
Luo Li thought about this problem tonight, "Since senior values him so much, why not let him temporarily recover from his injuries in Shangguan Mansion?"
"It's not what you asked for. However, I still want to solemnly advise you not to enter the ancient tomb of the imperial mausoleum."
"how?"
"That place is very dangerous. Although you have special powers, you are only a green spirit. If Di Sheng discovers that you are faking your strength, it will be very dangerous."
Dorsett's strength is comparable to him.
It's easy to deal with a green spirit.
"I must enter the Imperial Tomb."
She must get the key to the ancient battlefield!
Shangguan Cheng opened his mouth and hesitated to speak, but seeing Luo Li's determined look, he stopped talking.
After Luo Li left, Shangguancheng looked at a painting hanging on the wall.
That is a true picture of beauty.
There is a pretty woman dancing with a sword on it!
Covering the veil lightly, wearing a snow coat.
And around the woman's waist, there was a spiritual bone hanging.
