The room was quiet for a moment.
Luo Qingzhou quickly stood up, wiped the water stains on his face with his sleeve, and explained: "Your Highness, I was just washing my face."
Nangong Huoyue raised her eyebrows and said, "Why are you feeling guilty? Could it be that I thought you were drinking my bath water?"
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
Nangong Huoyue glanced at his newly changed clothes, then looked at his ordinary face, and said calmly: "It is snowing heavily outside. In the evening, I will go out of the palace to Prince Duan's Mansion. When the time comes, you can sit in my sedan chair and go out."
Hearing this, Luo Qingzhou cupped his hands and asked, "Will this cause trouble for Your Highness?"
Nangong Huoyue said in a cold and dignified voice: "Don't worry, no one dares to check my sedan. But maybe someone will follow us, so my sedan will go into Prince Duan's Mansion. When the time comes, you can find a chance to drill into the ground. There shouldn't be anyone guarding underground there."
Luo Qingzhou bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."
After a pause, he asked curiously, "Your Highness, may I ask why you went to Prince Duan's Mansion in the evening? If you go out at this time, I'm afraid it will arouse suspicion."
Nangong Huoyue's eyes turned cold, and she said, "So what if it arouses suspicion? Who can do anything to me?"
Then she explained in a gentle voice, "There is a Xuantian Jade Girl Tree in Prince Duan's Mansion. I need its morning dew to refine something. I have already told the Queen Mother about this a few days ago, so I have a legitimate reason to go out today. You don't have to worry."
Luo Qingzhou's heart moved, and he asked: "Your Highness, I have also heard of the Xuantian Jade Maiden Tree. It is said that it is a spiritual tree of heaven and earth, and its body is full of treasures. How could the Prince Duan's Mansion have it?"
Nangong Huoyue walked to the table and sat down. She picked up the wine pot on the table, poured some wine and said, "The Xuantian Jade Girl Tree cannot be called a spiritual tree of heaven and earth, but it is indeed a precious tree. Its morning dew is very precious and can be used to refine many rare medicinal materials. As for where Uncle Duan got it, I don't know. I only know that this precious tree existed when the late emperor was alive."
She picked up the wine glass and was about to drink when she suddenly stopped and looked at him and said, "Have you used this wine glass before?"
Luo Qingzhou quickly said: "No, I haven't touched anything here."
After listening to this, Nangong Huoyue raised her head slightly, drank it all in one gulp, then looked at him and said, "That may not be the case. You have touched the water and flower petals that I use for bathing."
Luo Qingzhou paused and changed the subject: "According to what Your Highness said, the Xuantian Jade Maiden Tree in Prince Duan's Mansion is so old, it should have grown very tall, right?"
Nangong Huoyue put down the wine glass and said, "It's not tall, only half a person tall. The book records that this tree grows very slowly and does not grow tall. In ancient times, it was used as a potted landscape."
Luo Qingzhou said secretly in his heart: So that's how it is.
In this case, if we want to take the Xuantian Jade Girl Tree away, it should be easy to do so. However, what do we need to exchange with Princess Xiaoxin
Nangong Huoyue narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at him and said, "You seem to be very interested in that Xuantian Jade Girl Tree. Are you planning to steal it?"
Luo Qingzhou quickly said: "Of course not, I am not the kind of person who steals other people's things casually."
Nangong Huoyue asked: "Oh? What about the Tongtian Ding of Zijin Temple?"
Luo Qingzhou was puzzled and asked: "What tripod? I don't quite understand what you mean."
Nangong Huoyue snorted coldly and did not continue the topic. She stroked the wine glass with her jade hand and frowned slightly, as if she was thinking about something.
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her, but didn't dare to disturb her and remained quiet.
After a moment.
Nangong Huoyue stood up and said calmly, "Stay here and don't go out casually. I have to go to the Queen Mother. I will come to see you in the evening."
Luo Qingzhou said: "Yes, Your Highness."
Nangong Huoyue just walked to the door, and suddenly stopped, turned around and stared at him sternly, "I heard from Yuewu that you flirted with Yueying last night? Is that true?"
Luo Qingzhou froze, bowed his head and said, "Your Highness, if I say this is a misunderstanding, will you believe it?"
Nangong Huoyue did not answer and left with a cold expression.
Hearing the footsteps gradually fading away, Luo Qingzhou secretly broke into a sweat.
This woman's pressure and aura were too strong. When being stared at by her eyes, I always felt my heart tighten, my whole body tense, and I dared not breathe deeply.
It's already like this now, if she gets on the seat later...
Never mind. It has nothing to do with him.
After he repays the favor this time, he probably won’t appear in front of her as Chu Feiyang again.
As for Luo Qingzhou's identity, that is another matter.
He thought about it for a while, returned to the corner, took out the azure spiritual liquid, and dripped two drops on his palm.
The soul has already advanced to the middle stage of the Spirit Severing Realm, and the physical body must also be advanced as soon as possible.
Only by breaking through to the Grandmaster level will one have the opportunity to come and go freely in this palace.
His physical body now shows signs of breaking through. Of course, he still needs to practice to the late stage of great perfection.
Generally speaking, the promotion of a great martial artist to the later stage is to break through to the realm of a grandmaster, but in fact there is also a small realm, which is the late stage of great perfection.
He should be close, otherwise there would be no sign of advancement.
Of course, just absorbing spiritual fluids and practicing internal skills is far from enough. After going out tonight, he will have to use external force for stimulation.
Both boxing and stick techniques involve external stimulation.
It would naturally be better if there was another warrior to confront fiercely.
The first person he thought of was naturally Uncle Linghu.
Uncle-Master Linghu is at the late stage of Great Perfection of the Great Martial Master realm, and is only one step away from becoming a Grandmaster. Moreover, he is practicing both the soul and the body. This kind of talent can be said to be very strong, otherwise it would be impossible for him to become the master of a peak of the Lingxiao Sect at such a young age.
However, she is the master of Jianfeng Peak, and he is the master of her peak.
When the time comes, use her to stimulate her severely!
Luo Qingzhou thought for a while, closed his eyes, felt the rising of the spiritual liquid energy in his body, and began to practice his internal energy.
At noon, the door opened gently.
Yuewu brought the food over, but seeing that he was practicing, she did not disturb him. After putting the food down, she quietly left.
A day passed quietly.
In the evening.
While Luo Qingzhou was still immersed in the state of cultivation, the door opened and Nangong Huoyue walked in wearing a fiery red dress, bringing a hint of cold air from outside.
But soon, her whole body began to feel hot.
The temperature in the room gradually rose.
Luo Qingzhou woke up from his training, put away his skills, and quickly stood up and said, "Your Highness, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."
Nangong Huoyue looked at him deeply, turned and walked towards the door and said, "Follow me."
Luo Qingzhou's heart moved, and he hurriedly followed behind.
Passing through the corridor, there was a luxuriously decorated sedan chair parked in the courtyard, with two rows of female guards standing around the sedan chair.
Yueying was wearing a black dress, holding a sword in her hand, standing conspicuously at the front.
Yuewu went over and opened the curtain of the sedan chair.
Nangong Huoyue, wearing a loose red skirt, got on the sedan chair, then turned to look at him and said, "Although there is enough space for two people in here, you'd better hide under my soft couch and wrap yourself with my skirt. When you pass through the palace gate later, someone should use a magic weapon to detect it. With the detection of the magic weapon, everything in this sedan chair can be seen."
At this point, she paused, and gently moved her red skirt that was hanging down softly with her jade hands. She said with a dignified and cold expression: "But if you hide under my skirt, no one can see you."
Then he said calmly: "It's your choice whether to hide or not."
