What's going on? She hasn't even started to make up... Oh no, she's still explaining.
"Luo Xue... Is she okay?" Concubine Min looked straight at Luo Xue, but unlike the scrutiny she had just given her, she was filled with some kind of emotion that was difficult to suppress. "Did she send you here to take me away?"
"... ..."
Luo Xue was silent for a while. She didn't expect that Concubine Min would change so quickly.
Since she had no idea what Concubine Min was thinking, she could only remain silent for the time being to avoid making any mistakes.
At this time, Dugu Xue was still looking at Xue Ling, wondering why Xue Ling suddenly took action. Could it be that she had gained consciousness
But I have never heard of any ancient puppet ever having any conscious mind...
"It was just a misunderstanding just now. I apologize to you."
Concubine Min thought that Luo Xue was so angry about what had just happened that she didn't want to talk. She stood up with the help of the bed and bowed deeply to Luo Xue.
Luo Xue's face showed surprise. One had to know that the status of the Emperor's Concubine was very high. Even if she was banished to the cold palace, she didn't need to pay respects to anyone except the Emperor, Empress and the Immortal Emperor, let alone such a grand gift.
It can be seen that Concubine Min was indeed apologizing to Luo Xue.
But, why
"My Lady, please get up first." Seeing that Concubine Min was staggering, Luo Xue hurried over to help her up and said, "I'm just wondering why you suddenly believed me..."
"... Don't you know?"
This time it was Concubine Min's turn to be stunned. She stared at Luo Xue's face and stretched out her hand to touch her.
"It's this face..."
"... Um?"
Luo Xue frowned slightly.
What's wrong with this face
"It seems that you really don't know," Concubine Min smiled suddenly, "I guess you are the owner of this face. When Luo Xue and I first met, she used your current appearance."
"... .ah?"
Hearing this, Luo Xue opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but no words came out.
She couldn't count how many times she had been messy today.
She suddenly realized something terrible.
"Many people know Luo Xue, but not many have seen her like this, so... I believe you." Concubine Min's eyes flashed with nostalgia and sadness, "Little girl, can you tell me, what is your name?"
Luo Xue hesitated for a while, looked at Dugu Xue, and said,
"My name is Li Guijiao, Madam, you can just call me Guijiao."
Luo Xue is now more than 80% sure that this so-called "Luo Xue" is probably her most beloved Li Ghost Jiao Li Senior Sister...
If we only use her appearance, Luo Xue still thinks there will be other possibilities.
But if even the ghost girl appearance she is using now is there... To be honest, the remaining 20% is just Luo Xue's caution.
After all, Ghost Girl is Senior Sister Li’s classic suit, and Luo Xue only uses it more frequently in the post-apocalyptic world because she can’t meet Senior Sister Li there.
However, Luo Xue didn't have much resentment towards Senior Sister Li using her appearance.
After all, she herself has used...
The two people are of the same quality and it is difficult for either to say anything.
"It's a strange name." Concubine Min's face turned pale. She was weak and hadn't used magic for a long time. She was a little tired for a moment. "Did Luo Xue ask you to take me away? Or..."
Concubine Min looked at Dugu Xue, and Luo Xue also looked over.
At this time, Dugu Xue still looked confused.
She had no idea why her mother and Sister Luo had just started fighting and why they were reconciled now for no apparent reason.
Sister Luo seems to have been hiding her identity, changing her name and face...
How strange.
Dugu Xue, who was confused about the situation, could only blink innocently and shrink back when being stared at by the two people.
"Mother, you two can chat..."
"If you want to take me away, forget it." A bitter look appeared on the corners of Min Difei's mouth. "This is my own choice. I can't blame others."
"Excuse me, what is your relationship with... Luo Xue?"
Luo Xue couldn't help but be curious and asked.
Dugu Xue also pricked up her ears, wanting to hear what kind of relationship Sister Luo herself couldn't figure out.
"There's nothing to hide," Concubine Min said softly, "She was my... savior, but it seems that she didn't want to save me at the time, she just made a mistake."
"... ..."
Luo Xue looked at Concubine Min's long snow-white hair and suddenly realized something.
"In any case, don't worry about me." Concubine Min smiled bitterly, stretched out her hand to rub Dugu Xue's hair, and said, "If possible, take her away from this bottomless and terrible vortex. This is all I wish for, as a price..."
Concubine Min took out a small snow-white dagger from somewhere and handed it to Luo Xue.
"This is my life-originated spiritual weapon. It is useless to me now, or to the Imperial Clan... I will not burden you if I take it away."
"this... "
Luo Xue looked at the snow-white dagger and for a moment she didn't know whether she should take it or not.
She didn't want to take Dugu Xue away at first. Now the disappearance of "Princess Snow" had added more trouble to the chaotic situation in the Imperial Palace. If Dugu Xue came forward, the situation could be stabilized a little.
If Luo Xue takes Du Gu Xue away again, she will really be missing...
By then, the entire Great Qin Dynasty... will be her enemy.
Luo Xue raised her head and looked at Dugu Xue.
At this time, Dugu Xue also slightly raised her head and looked at Luo Xue in a slightly silly way.
When her eyes met Luo Xue's, Dugu Xue couldn't help but smile.
"Xiao Dugu, are you willing to leave with me?" Luo Xue asked softly, "After this trip, I'm afraid... it will be difficult to return to the Imperial Palace."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Xue's expression froze slightly. She moved her gaze slightly away and looked at her mother beside her with a little sadness and reluctance.
But after a moment, Dugu Xue's eyes became firm again.
"I do." Dugu Xue replied seriously, looking directly into Luo Xue's eyes, "It's not because of mother, nor because of you, but because I do."
Dugu Xue was not ignorant. She knew that her father loved her very much, but this kind of love would only bring her pain and bondage.
Before the last moment of her life, Dugu Xue didn't want to regret anything.
She can be her mother's Xue'er, sister Luo's little Dugu, and her own Dugu Xue, but she doesn't want to be Princess Snow, and doesn't want to be the little princess of the Great Qin Dynasty.
Concubine Min looked at her daughter. Although there was some reluctance in her eyes, there was also a flash of relief.
Staying in the bottomless vortex of the Imperial Palace will only harm Xueer.
Whether it is His Majesty the Immortal Emperor or the Empress, they are all chess players.
And Concubine Min and Princess Xue are just chess pieces on the chessboard.
The fate of the chess pieces is never controlled by oneself.
Even if you have a temporary preference, it doesn't mean you will never give it up.
"In that case, I will accompany you."
A faint smile appeared on Luo Xue's pale face. She stretched out her hand, took over the natal spiritual weapon of Concubine Min, and also took over Dugu Xue's responsibility.
As soon as she picked up the snow-white dagger, a chill that went straight to the bone penetrated into Luo Xue's whole body.
However, this coldness did not cause any harm, but was quite comfortable. Luo Xue could feel that her soul was being cleansed in some way.
Not only that, Luo Xue could also feel the emotions of the spiritual weapon in her hand, which was filled with a hint of sadness.
"What's it called?"
Luo Xue asked.
Unlike magic weapons, all spiritual weapons have spirits that can grow gradually through nurturing, and can also fight on their own based on instinct to a certain extent.
The natal magic weapon of Concubine Min is about the eighth level. Generally, magic weapons of this level must be above the Nascent Soul stage to be used, but the spiritual weapon is different.
No matter how strong the master is, the spiritual weapon can adjust itself, lower the corresponding usage threshold, and allow the master to exert the strongest combat power as much as possible.
An eighth-rank spiritual weapon is enough to be used in the Yuhua realm, or even above the Jiexian realm.
"It's called Snow Blade," Concubine Min said slowly, "It and her... I leave them to you, Miss Guijiao."
Concubine Min took Luo Xue's hand, then took Dugu Xue's little hand and placed it on top, patting it gently.
At this moment, Dugu Xue seemed to realize something, her face suddenly turned red, and she turned her head away shyly.
Luo Xue raised her eyebrows, feeling that this scene was a bit weird...
Is this really entrusting an orphan to someone else
Why does it feel a bit like...
"Also, I have one last thing to trouble you with," Concubine Min lowered her eyes, her voice a little weaker, "Please tell Luo Xue a message for me.
"Just say that Min'er is not going back."
Chapter 172: The Power of Restriction, Escape from the Imperial Palace
At the same time, inside the princess's bedroom.
When Wei came hurriedly with two guards, there were already many guards on alert around, and some were monitoring the interior of the bedroom.
"What's the situation now?" Wei asked in a low voice.
"Please forgive me, sir. Now..." The guard guarding the princess's bedroom hesitated for a moment and continued, "We still can't find any trace of the little princess. There is not even a clue."
Wei's face darkened slightly, and he said,
"Take me in and have a look."
"This way, my lord."
The guard quickly led Wei to the room where the little princess was resting.
The other two guards from the Jiexian Realm were responsible for standing guard nearby to prevent any accidents.
On the way, Wei asked the guards some more questions, but he couldn't get any answers.
There was no sign of intrusion in the princess' bedroom, as if the little princess had suddenly disappeared out of thin air.
Wei's expression was very solemn. He ignored the guards who kept apologizing beside him and took a step forward and entered the little princess' room.
As soon as he stepped into the room, Wei sensed the residual breath of the explosion.
The entire room was almost unrecognizable, especially the princess' bed, which was in tatters, as if someone had deliberately erased all traces.
Wei took a few steps and squatted down on the bed that had been blown to pieces.
"What on earth is this... Why does it look a bit like a formation?"
Wei frowned, since there was no real formation in the world, he was not sure.
But if it was a formation, with the weak formation foundation of the universe, how could it be possible to make the little princess disappear out of thin air
Being able to arrange a formation at the foundation-building level does not mean that one can arrange any formation at the foundation-building level. In fact, the formation structure in the universe is quite simple, similar to explosions and spirit gatherings.
More complex array structures cannot be constructed.
In the entire princess' room, the only traces that Wei could see were those of the explosion array, and he couldn't figure out anything else.
"My Lord, what did you see?"
The guard next to him asked cautiously. Now the entire imperial palace was worried about the whereabouts of the little princess. They all wanted to get the news as soon as possible to avoid angering the Immortal Emperor.
"I'm not sure." Wei exhaled, thinking in his heart, "It's a pity... Only those who are above the Crossing the Sea Realm can forcibly break through the restrictions in the Imperial Palace and trace back."
In fact, Wei's strength is not at the Crossing the Sea realm as rumored by the outside world, but halfway into Crossing the Sea, stuck between the Tribulation Immortal and Crossing the Sea.
Ordinary peak-level Tribulation Immortals are no match for Wei, but if he were to face a true Crossing the Sea Realm, Wei would be equally helpless.
