The second prince squinted his eyes after hearing this, only thinking that there was something wrong with this young slave.
According to Xi Xi's description, the old lady's attitude towards Xi Xi and Ye Ji was not abnormal before. However, since Ye Ji entered the spirit world, the old lady's attitude has undergone earth-shaking changes. It is obvious that someone is secretly involved. play off.
Recalling that Qing Nu once poisoned Ye Ji and tried to kill her, all signs point to this Qing Nu being the one who stirred up trouble around the old lady.
"It's okay, uncle, I'll take it out on you!" The second prince smiled and touched Ye Xixi's head, a coldness flashing in his eyes.
In the old lady's bedroom.
The saintly girl kept following closely behind her, which annoyed the old lady. She frowned and showed unconcealable disgust on her face.
"Is there nothing else for the Saint clan to do?" The old lady said in a sharp tone, without mercy, "I am tired and need to rest! Please leave!"
These words made the saint's face feel hot, as if she had been slapped in public.
She tried her best to smile awkwardly and explained: "The old lady misunderstood, I came to see Qingnu."
The saint said with a concerned tone: "A few days ago, Qingnu was seriously injured. I used the healing techniques of my saint clan, but I couldn't cure her."
"No, I just got a recovery pill from Yao Lao, which can help her recover."
"I wanted to send it to her, but for some reason, the new palace maid said that there is no such person as Qing Nu."
"Old lady, Qingnu is specifically responsible for serving you. How come there is no such person?"
The old lady's heart trembled after hearing the saint's words.
Qing Nu is injured?
Why didn't she know?
Soon, the old lady announced that Qingnu was coming.
When Qing Nu came to her, she was as pale as a piece of white paper and looked as if she would fall down if the wind blew.
The old lady looked at it, slightly startled, and her tone was full of concern and worry: "What's wrong with you?"
Qingnu glanced at the saint and did not dare to speak.
Seeing this, the saint smiled and said: "I have already delivered the recovery pill. I have other things to do, so I will leave first."
After the saint left, Qingnu couldn't bear it anymore and knelt in front of the old lady with tears streaming down his face: "Old lady, Qingnu is useless. Not only did he fail to kill Ye Ji, he was also seriously injured by Emperor Zun. "
"It's also Qingnu's fault. He shouldn't have gone to the Saint with his seriously injured body, but... But Qingnu has no choice."
Qing Nu was heartbroken and cried so hard that she was heartbroken.
The old lady thought that she was injured like this because she was doing something for him. For a moment, she felt even more guilty. She quickly comforted her, "Good boy, don't cry. It's all my fault!"
If she hadn't ordered Qing Nu to kill Ye Ji, Qing Nu would not have been injured by the emperor.
Emperor Zun took action, and Qing Nu was either dead or disabled. It was no wonder that she would seek help from the Saint. After all, the Holy Clan was famous for its healing skills.
"Take the recovery pill first and take a good rest. After this storm, it won't be too late to come back to me." The old lady's voice was calm. Although there was not much warmth, it was much better than before. few.
Qingnu kowtowed three times with tears of gratitude: "Thank you, old lady."
After Qingnu staggered away, before the door of the dormitory was closed, the voice of the palace maid came from outside: "Old lady, the saint wants to see you."
The old lady was a little surprised when she heard that the saint asked for an audience again.
Didn't she leave?
Thinking that the saint had saved Qingnu, the old lady, who had already changed her mind about the saint, summoned her.
"Send her in." The old lady's tone was still calm, but it no longer had the coldness before.
The saint walked into the dormitory with graceful steps. Compared to her humble appearance just now, she now had a confident smile on her face.
She bowed to the old lady, and then said straight to the point: "Old lady, I am here to express my determination to you."
"Although I have not become your daughter-in-law, I will not give up because of this." The saint's tone was firm and confident: "I will prove to Emperor Zun that I am the most suitable woman for him."
The old lady frowned slightly after hearing this.
Although she doesn't like Ye Ji, it doesn't mean that she likes the saint.
Before Ye Ji, she had always felt that the saint was the best choice for the emperor and empress.
No matter in terms of identity, talent, or strength, the Saint is the best choice.
But the recent events and the attitude of the Saint family made her somewhat dislike the Saint, and she even disliked the Saint family behind the Saint.
Seeing that the old lady didn't say anything, the saint continued: "Ye Ji is just a mortal. She can't help God at all. It's even difficult to practice, let alone compared to me!"
"To be honest, I think comparing Ye Ji with me is simply an insult to me!"
"I will challenge Ye Ji in the competition three months later and defeat her severely."
"When the time comes, I just hope you won't be angry. I was forced to do this. It's not that I don't want to take the royal family's face into consideration, but Emperor Zun forced me to do so!"
The saint's eyes were blazing, and her tone was full of disdain and contempt for Ye Ji.
The saint's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting the old lady's heart suddenly.
The spirit world competition in three months?
How could she forget such an important thing?
The Spirit World Competition is a grand annual event in the spirit world, symbolizing a fair and just arena.
In this arena, regardless of status, regardless of gender, the only criterion is the difference between strong and weak.
Anyone who initiates a challenge, regardless of their status, must accept the challenge, even Emperor Zun is no exception.
The old lady clearly remembers that this competition is not only the most grand event in the spirit world, but also the focus of attention of all people in the spirit world.
If the Saint really defeats Ye Ji in the competition, the consequences...
The old lady was extremely upset. How could Ye Ji, a weak woman with no power to restrain a chicken, defeat the saint?
I'm afraid that I will be beaten black and blue by the saint!
Thinking of this, the old lady couldn't help but panic in her heart.
Soon, she found Emperor Zun and told him about the saint's preparation to challenge Ye Ji.
Knowing that the Saint wanted to challenge Ye Ji, Emperor Zun's hand holding the tea cup froze slightly, but soon he returned to normal, with a calm look on his face: "If she wants to humiliate herself, let her do it to herself." The humiliation is over."
The old lady looked confused after hearing this.
Ye Ji brought humiliation to herself?
Does Emperor Zun mean that he doesn't plan to help Ye Ji?
But doesn't he like Ye Ji very much and regard her as his fate?
The old lady felt that she was a bit confused, so she persuaded her earnestly: "Although Ye Ji is a mortal woman, she is also the biological mother of Si Han and Xi Xi."
"If you are beaten until your nose is bruised and your face is swollen, and you are unable to resist, wouldn't it be a disgrace to our royal family?"
