This time, Li Xiuyuan did not immediately answer Asuna's request, but asked her to find a room to rest in No. 46, next to Qingyu.
The two little guys spent the whole morning shopping, and were also taken by Xiao Hei to complete their daily tasks of reading and writing.
The old shopkeeper and Li Xiuyuan quietly finished the beef noodles brought back by Xiao Hei, and then started chatting.
The prime minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty had been removed by Emperor Wu, and there were no previous hidden dangers in the palace.
From Li Xiuyuan's point of view, whether to help Li or not is just a trivial matter.
The difference is that he is considering whether Asuna or Xiao Hei will come forward.
When he mentioned this problem to the old shopkeeper, the old shopkeeper smiled and said, "Of course it's Xiao Hei. Ashina is Qingyu's junior sister. It's not appropriate for her to come forward."
Li Xiuyuan nodded and replied: "That's right, let Xiao Hei go to the palace to end the cause and effect with the Zhou Dynasty."
After making the decision, Li Xiuyuan was relieved.
Shuzi and Xiaohu were practicing in the snow-capped mountains. He was not in a hurry to let them come back. Qingyu's injury still required some rest, so he decided to let the two little guys herd the sheep for a few days.
When Shuzi comes back, I'm afraid Xiaohei will have to send the two little guys to school in a few days.
Being free for one day will give them one more day of freedom.
Qingyu took the elixir prepared by Li Xiuyuan internally and externally, and woke up at midnight that day.
Looking at Xiao Hei who came after hearing the news, he murmured: "Am I too stupid to make you laugh again?"
Xiao Hei shook his head, looked at her and said seriously: "You are the most powerful in the entire Zhou Dynasty, how can I dare to laugh at you?"
Qingyu's eyes lit up, she looked at him and asked blankly, "Are you serious?"
"Of course I'm serious."
Xiao Hei squeezed her hand, explored it, and said with a smile: "I don't know medicine, so I can tell you what I can do, come and see my brother."
Qingyu sighed and said quietly: "In this way, it can be regarded as fulfilling the wish buried in my heart for my sister."
Xiao Hei thought for a while, then put down her hand and said, "Since you have practiced with the old Taoist priest and fulfilled your wish for the Queen, from now on you must devote yourself to following the old Taoist priest..."
In Xiao Hei's opinion, if Qingyu keeps following the Li family, he will at best become the Imperial Master of Zhou Dynasty, just like the guy from Northern Qi Dynasty.
If that's the case, it's better not to take that elixir in the first place.
Qingyu understood this truth, looked at Xiaohei and said: "Master said, take your time, spend three to five years, completely settle with the palace, and then leave the imperial city."
Xiao Hei then said with peace of mind: "That's good. You can rest here and rest in peace. I will accompany Asuna back to the palace to meet the empress tomorrow. She made a request to her brother..."
】
Qingyu didn't expect that Ashina's arrival would make her empress become competitive.
Thinking about it carefully, since she met Xiao Hei, she has been looking forward to becoming stronger day by day. In this way, she can understand the empress's difficulties.
"Go ahead, I'll take your two sisters to the palace to have some fun."
Qingyu sighed: "When I recover, I will take them shopping and have a good time."
While they were talking, Ashina walked in with a bowl of white porridge, looked at Xiao Hei and smiled: "You go out to play for a while, and I will have a conversation with my senior sister."
Xiao Hei chuckled, looked at her and replied, "Tomorrow, I will accompany you back to the palace to see the empress."
Ashina was shocked when she heard this and asked, "What about Senior Sister?"
Xiao Hei smiled: "What is she afraid of if she rests here? My brother and the old shopkeeper are here, and my sister Shuzi will be back from the snowy mountains in a few days."
Above the snowy mountains.
Shuzi looked at Xiaohu in front of her and said: "Xiaohu, your brother Xiaohei should be back. My eyelids have been twitching in the past two days."
Xiaohu chuckled: "That's not easy. We'll go back tomorrow. I miss you too, sir."
While they were talking, Gao Yue'er ran in from outside, looked at the two of them and asked, "Want to go down the mountain? I'll go too."
Shuzi took her hand and sat down next to her, and smiled: "I feel that my brother must have returned from Beiqi. By the way, I have two little sisters. I have to take them to the school to study."
Gao Yue'er became even more anxious when she heard this. She scratched her long hair and said, "Xiao Hei is back. I have to go back. He has a lot of treasures on him."
Shuzi couldn't help laughing when she heard this: "I didn't expect that my brother went to Northern Qi and accumulated some treasures. By the way, what treasures does Northern Qi have?"
Xiaohu shook his head, thought for a moment and said, "I have to ask Brother Xiaohei about this."
Shuzi sighed and said, "Fortunately, my brother decorated No. 46 early in the morning. Otherwise, there would be no place to live if there were so many people coming here all of a sudden."
Gao Yue'er clapped her hands: "I really like those two little guys. It's really fun to come back now."
Shuzi thought for a while, looked at her and said, "If you go down the mountain, you have to call your master up to see if Xiao Hei has brought any elixir."
Shuzi knew that even if Xiaohei had the elixir, it would have no effect on herself and Xiaohu.
On the other hand, Gao Yue'er and the old Taoist priest might be able to achieve a breakthrough with Xiao Hei's help.
Upon hearing this, Gao Yue'er nodded: "You can't leave the master alone on the mountain. He knows he will curse."
…
Early the next morning, Xiao Hei and Asuna took their two younger sisters to the palace.
Asuna was still dizzy until she got on the carriage.
Last night, Xiao Hei just dried the meat of the big snake he killed in the small temple where he met Bai Ling, made soup and gave her two bowls of it. Unexpectedly, Asuna built the foundation overnight.
She was so frightened that she looked at Qingyu nervously and asked Xiaohei who the god was.
Qingyu chuckled and said, "Be nice to him, and there will be surprises in the future."
Sitting on the carriage, Ashina looked at Qingqing and asked: "Sister Qingqing, what is your current level of cultivation? Where is Yan'er?"
When Qingqing heard this, she immediately turned her head and looked at Xiao Hei without saying anything.
Regarding her and her sister's cultivation, her brother and grandfather did not allow them to tell anyone.
Xiaohei looked at Qingqing's nervous look and smiled: "It's okay. Qingqing and Yanran are both at the Golden Core realm. Don't compare with them. It's meaningless."
Xiao Hei understood that he still had two elixirs left for the old Taoist priest and Gao Yue'er.
Unless the old Taoist priest gives this elixir to his youngest disciple Ashina, Ashina may not be able to break through to a realm above the Nascent Soul in her lifetime.
Asuna looked at him and smiled angrily: "Fortunately, Qingyu is my senior sister, and I have a master, otherwise I would really be in a hurry with you."
Yan'er looked at the two of them and shook her head, clapped her little hands and said with a smile: "Brother, we have arrived at the palace."
When Asuna, the empress, walked into Weiyang Palace with Xiao Hei's two little girls, Mrs. Li couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.
He looked at Xiao Hei and said quietly: "Xiao Hei, you are so heartless."
After that, he waved to Qingqing and Yan'er and asked, "Which of you is Qingqing and who is Yan'er?"
"I'm Yan'er!" Yan'er raised her little hand without waiting for her brother to speak.
Xiao Hei curled his lips, pulled his two younger sisters to meet Li, and then replied: "Mother, you are not making sense. Xiao Hei's legs were broken when he was in Beiqi..."
When Qingqing heard this, she immediately remembered the inconvenience of her brother's broken leg, and couldn't help but hugged Xiao Hei's arm tightly.
Yan'er nodded, looked at Mrs. Li and said, "Yan'er also remembers that her brother was sitting in a wheelchair at that time..."
Li's eyes turned red, she looked at Xiao Hei and said quietly: "You and Qingyu have helped me a lot, but the emperor and I owe you a lot of favors."
Ashina was thinking about Li's thoughts about Xiao Hei, so she couldn't say anything more here.
Then she looked at Xiao Hei and said, "I'll take the two little guys to my place to play for a while, and I'll have a drink with you in the evening." Li waved her hand and said, "Well, please trouble the Queen."
As soon as Yan'er heard that she was going to play, she turned to look at Xiao Hei and asked, "Brother, can Yan'er go play with Sister Queen?"
Xiao Hei let go of their hands and smiled: "Remember not to run around, don't talk to strangers, and remember to come back to me later."
Qingqing burst into laughter upon hearing this, holding her sister's hand with one hand and Asuna's hand with the other, and the three of them walked out.
It wasn't until the three of them left Weiyang Palace that Li said, "Let's go and see the place where you lived."
There were some things she didn't want to say in Weiyang Palace, but she could go to the small courtyard where Xiao Hei lived and ask Xiao Hei.
Xiao Heixin said, Aren’t you just going to break through? I give you.
The two walked one behind the other, followed by the two maids, and walked out of Weiyang Palace. After walking around for a while, they came to the small courtyard where Xiao Hei lived.
When I walked into the living room, it looked like it had just been cleaned.
The maid went to fetch water, light a fire, and boil the water.
Xiao Hei went around the house where he lived, walked out, looked at Mrs. Li and shook his head: "Mother, Xiao Hei can't come back."
He also knew that Mrs. Li was really good to him.
But for him and his brother Yu Dazhou, they were just passers-by.
Li was shocked when she heard this, looked at him and asked, "Why is this? Where are you going?"
??????????????? Xiao Hei shook his head and replied softly: "It's not about where I'm going, it's about how long I can stay in this world."
Xiao Hei said as he took out the spiritual tea.
While washing the pot and pouring in the spirit tea, he said to the two maids: "Please go prepare some ingredients. Your Majesty will have dinner here tonight."
Mrs. Li waved her hand and said, "Go and ask the imperial kitchen to prepare some ingredients and send them over."
The two girls followed the order and exited the living room, and hurried to the imperial dining room. The empress wanted to change places to have dinner, which was a big deal.
When the water boiled and the tea became fragrant, Xiao Hei poured a cup of spiritual tea for Mr. Li.
Then he said quietly: "This cup of spiritual tea is a reward for the empress. Whether it can go as you wish depends on God's will."
Li did not immediately pick up the spiritual tea in front of her, but frowned and asked, "Where is Qingyu? How is she doing now?"
"As long as my brother is here, she will be fine. It's just that she was seriously injured and has to rest outside for a few days before she can return to the palace. Don't worry about her."
Xiao Hei picked up the spirit tea and took a breath: "Drink the tea while it's hot."
Upon hearing that Qingyu was fine, Mrs. Li breathed a sigh of relief.
He picked up the spiritual tea in front of him and blew in. After taking a brief sip, he felt the urge to spit it out.
"Don't vomit, drink it slowly."
Xiao Hei said quietly: "This tea can only be used for the first time. If you drink it from now on, it will be just tea."
Li silently swallowed a sip of the spiritual tea like a sip of concoction, because he saw that Xiao Hei really drank tea like water and had no reaction at all.
Until a strong bitterness gradually turned into a slightly sweet aftertaste that filled the mouth.
What she was thinking about at this moment was not what Xiao Hei looked like when she entered the palace.
It was not the situation when she first met Emperor Wu, but the moment when she had unintentionally worshiped her master and gained strength after practicing hard.
The situation changed, and the master of the year had disappeared, and she finally made it through with Emperor Wu.
A cup of spiritual tea instantly brought her back to her youthful days.
Like a bolt of lightning flashed through his mind one by one, and he couldn't help but murmured: "Yesterday, did it really seem like a dream?"
Xiao Hei waited for her to finish drinking a cup of spiritual tea, and then added more to her cup.
He said quietly: "Xiao Hei thought the same way. I remember when I met my brother..."
Li didn't reply to his words, but quietly drank the second cup of spiritual tea like a fine wine, one sip after another.
Gradually, Mr. Li fell into his own memories.
He sighed softly and murmured: "Master, I miss you..."
