Views:

Near noon, the sky was still gloomy, with large swaths of dark clouds gathering in the sky, like a tangible black net covering the entire world, blocking all light.

Zongzheng Wuyou closed his eyes and sat cross-legged by the hot spring pool, with his palms touching and flat, the air around his body surged like smoke. He suddenly opened his eyes, and pushed out his palms, only to hear a bang, the jade stones by the pool shattered and shot out in all directions, the surrounding trees fell in response to the sound, and the water in the pool splashed several lengths high. It really is a miracle! It only took two successes to achieve such an effect. Zongzheng Wuyou stood up and stood with his head held high. He had finally practiced the highest level of the Yi Xin Jing, and it was not in vain for him to spend ten days trying to please a woman. Thinking of that woman, he glanced at Xiao Zhu beside him, and a smile appeared on his thin lips unconsciously.

Manyao was woken up by the thundering noise, opened her eyes, and saw that she was in an elegant but unfamiliar room, she frowned and sat up, feeling sore and weak all over, the frenzied image of last night flashed in her mind instantly, she lowered her head Seeing that she was naked under the silk brocade quilt, she was startled, and her brain immediately became extremely clear. She quickly grabbed the quilt tightly and lay down again, her heart pounding. She really gave herself to him! Close her eyes and try to calm herself down, no matter what, since she fell in love, she has nothing to regret, even... There is still a sweet sense of satisfaction in her heart, mixed with a faint uneasiness. She has not forgotten that in two days it will be the day when she is ordered to marry Fu Tzu! Now, she can no longer marry, and she doesn't want to marry either! No matter what the result is, she must immediately confess her identity to Wuyou. If Wuyou's affection for her is true, he will not allow her to marry someone else, but he will definitely be angry for her concealment, or be angry with her. A misunderstanding arose, and she... was willing to explain it to him. Thinking of this, she immediately put on her clothes and got up. As soon as she put on a single shirt, she heard someone outside shouting: "Seventh brother!"

The Ninth Prince will always be like this, hearing people before they arrive. Man Yao raised her lips and chuckled, walked to the window, gently opened a gap to look out, and saw the Ninth Prince lying on a couch and being carried here. He said in a loud voice: "So you are here, Brother Seven, which made it hard for me to find you! I said, Brother Seven, your body is not suitable for soaking in hot springs. What are you doing here?"

Manyao frowned slightly, Wuyou's body is not suitable for soaking in hot springs? Why? She suddenly remembered that his body was always cold, could it be related to this? She turned her head sideways and opened the gap of the window a little, and the standing figure by the hot spring pool in front of her came into view. It was the man who had been lingering with her all night last night. Women are conservative in thinking, but they have just experienced sexual intercourse, so it is inevitable that they will feel shy.

Zongzheng Wuyou saw that the Ninth Prince was lying on the chair but did not dare to move, he frowned and said: "You are not recovering, why are you running around?"

The Ninth Prince recalled the reason why he came here, and immediately got up excitedly. Unexpectedly, he hurt the wound. He let out an "ouch", his handsome face wrinkled into a ball, but he still couldn't stop laughing and said, "I'm so happy, ouch! It hurts, It hurts me to death..."

Zongzheng Wuyou smiled and said, "Are you happy after receiving a hundred sticks? Let him punish you with another hundred sticks next time!"

"Hey! Don't don't!" The Ninth Prince's mouth twitched, and he quickly waved his hands and said, "Seventh Brother, I'm not happy because of this, but because Princess Rongle of Qiyun Kingdom is going to marry Fu Tzu, so I don't have to marry her , haha... Finally escaped!"

Manyao shook her head and smiled wryly, daring to marry her would be a catastrophe! Zongzheng Wuyou suppressed his smile, twitched his eyes, and asked: "Do you think this marriage... is a good thing?" Emperor Qiyun personally chose him as his son-in-law, but after being rejected by him, he changed the election without anger or anger. Fu Cho returned in triumph. And that princess tried every means to get half a year in the main hall, and now in less than three months, she is willing to choose a husband and marry. I'm afraid this marriage has lost its original intention!

The Ninth Prince was taken aback for a moment, then stopped smiling, rolled his eyes a few times, and said, "Brother Seven means... something strange about this matter? Ah, let me think about it... this battle actually started more than a month ago. It's over, but Fu Tzu used a trick to delay it for so long, could it be..."

With his hands behind his back, Zongzheng Wuyou said in a deep voice, "I don't care about these things. There is still no news about the person I asked you to find?"

The Ninth Prince shook his head and said: "It's been twenty years. When the imperial concubine gave birth, all the people present either disappeared or died of illness..." He paused, his eyes suspicious: "Seventh Brother, are you sure what you are looking for?" The person... is still alive? But, we don't even know whether he is a man or a woman, just relying on a birthmark that is not sure whether he is present or not, this...is it too difficult to find?!"

Zongzheng Wuyou lowered his eyelids, his eyes were calm, his lips were tightly closed, and he did not speak. The Ninth Prince was secretly annoyed at which pot he could not open and which pot to lift, so he hurriedly waved someone to carry him close to Zongzheng Wuyou, propped himself up to pull him, and said apologetically, "Seventh Brother, I was just talking casually... you The person you are looking for must be alive and well!" Zongzheng Wuyou turned his head expressionlessly and glanced at the Ninth Prince holding his hand, his brows furrowed, the Ninth Prince grinned dryly, quickly withdrew his hand, and suddenly Suddenly, he seemed to think of something again, with astonishment flashing in his eyes, he stretched out his hand again to grab Zongzheng Wuyou's arm, and squeezed it a few times, as if confirming something. His eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at his seventh brother in disbelief, his eyes full of astonishment. Zongzheng Wuyou frowned, and unceremoniously slapped his hand away forcefully.

The Ninth Prince didn't care about the pain in his hands, and exclaimed loudly: "Ah?!! Why is it hot? Seventh brother, you, you... why is your body so hot? Could it be that you have achieved great magic skills? No, you said to cultivate The Xiyi Heart Sutra cannot violate the laws of nature, but in order not to touch women, you spend all day soaking in cold pools, causing your meridians to be blocked... Last time you asked me to find a woman for you, but I ended up spending money. People were killed! It took me a lot of trouble to settle..."

Zongzheng Wuyou looked at him sideways, and said indifferently: "Oh? This place of fireworks in the capital, and you, 'Ninth Master', can't make it right?"

The Ninth Prince immediately laughed and said: "That's right! But that woman...it's a pity, but it's true! Cough... It's getting too far, Brother Seven, please tell me, how did you achieve your magical skills? You won't find it by yourself A woman? By the way, on the night when Tea Garden was assassinated, you suddenly asked me to help you find a woman, and you thought the woman I brought was not good enough. Did you really have someone in your heart to choose? Who is it? It can’t be... Liyue, right?" He said at the end, his tone gradually slowed down, and he tilted his head, as if tentatively.

Manyao in the room had been listening to them quietly, and when she heard this, her heart skipped a beat, an unprecedented feeling of uneasiness rose from the bottom of her heart, and many fragmentary messages were pieced together bit by bit. In order to suppress the desire in his body, Zongzheng Wuyou soaked in the cold pool for a long time, causing his body to become cold and his meridians blocked. In order to solve this predicament, he asked the Ninth Prince to help him find a woman, but he killed that woman? ! He avoids women like a snake and scorpion, but why does he treat her differently? Is it because she accidentally fell into his arms that night and never disgusted him? She remembered that when his pupils turned red, he threw her to the ground uncontrollably... Thinking about it now, did that seem to be a sign of madness? ! And... That night, she rejected him and told him that love is the only way...
