That's what villains are like

Chapter 122 Is Xiangguo Mansion in Trouble?Jiang Ruxian left early, Xiahuang reminded
The long street is still full of people, people come and go, it is extremely lively.

But before the cloud-patterned jade chariot, there was silence, as if no one had noticed the sudden Tathagata here.

Whether it was Commander Linglong or Hu Heng, their minds were full of trembling and fear, as if they were being suppressed by a majestic and vast force, their bodies were icy cold and they could not move at all.

The mysterious woman in white just glanced at them casually, then turned her gaze back.

But that look was very indifferent, as if they were just inconspicuous ants and bugs in his eyes, they could be crushed to death easily.

All kinds of chilling emotions in the hearts of the two of them were churning, and their throats were sweet and sweet. Under the pressure of this breath, the bones in their bodies seemed to be broken, and there was a rattling sound.

Liu Shi also seemed to be completely stunned at this moment, her eyes widened, and she looked at the woman in white who suddenly appeared in front of her, but also did not react.

After a while, she felt that the hazy mist in front of the other party's face seemed to have dissipated a lot, revealing a face that was as perfect as a fairy.

Only then did she come to her senses, and asked with a trembling voice, "Is... Miss Ruxian?"

Although a lot of memories flooded her mind during this period, all of which were very long and vague, how could she not recognize the two most familiar faces among them?

It's just that compared with the smiling and gentle girl in white in my memory, the woman in white in front of me gives people a sense of alienation, lofty and indifferent, like being in another world.

It seems that she is not a mortal, but a banished immortal who is as cold and lonely as jade, standing on the top of the world, overlooking all living beings.

"it's me……"

"Long time no see, wet nurse." The woman in white was Jiang Ruxian, who nodded softly upon hearing this.

Liu Shi stared blankly at her face, as if she couldn't believe it, but at this moment, memories surged out of her mind again, which made her face show a bit of grief.

"Cang...the sky has eyes..."

"Miss Ruxian, you are still alive, you are still alive..."

"It's great, it's great."

Her voice trembled with grief, mixed with some deep grief and sadness.

In fact, Jiang Ruxian's memory of this wet nurse is also very blurred, only the moment when she saw her just now, it began to surge and emerge. Hearing her sad voice now, he still couldn't help feeling a little ups and downs.

She sighed slightly, and then calmly said, "Surviving a catastrophe is a blessing in disguise, so don't be too sad..."

During the time in the Xiangguo Mansion, his wife, Li Qingshu, was often busy practicing, and she took care of Jiang Lan's affairs, so she gave it to the wet nurse Liu Shi.

Therefore, Jiang Ruxian is quite familiar with this wet nurse.

"To survive a catastrophe..."

"At the beginning, I almost thought that you were dead, Miss Ruxian, Madam, she is really... really cruel..."

When Liu Shi spoke, tears appeared in her eyes, and her tone was full of grief and indignation, mixed with some inexplicable and unexplainable fear.

Jiang Ruxian was slightly stunned, feeling sad again.

In the previous life, if I had left the Island of No Return earlier, set foot in Zhongtian State, and met the wet nurse earlier, I think I would have understood the truth of the matter.

It's a pity that everything is too late, when she returns to Zhongtian Prefecture, everything will be too late...

This wet nurse probably did not live to that time either.

"Nurse, why did you offend the supervisor?"

After returning to his thoughts, Jiang Ruxian glanced at Commander Linglong and Hu Heng who could not move, and asked calmly.

"They...they are actually here to protect me and take me to the imperial capital..."

Liu Shi also glanced at the two of them, and then replied.

The strength of these two people is very strong, facing them, she has no room to fight back.

But they couldn't even move in front of Jiang Ruxian.

As a practitioner, she couldn't feel Jiang Ruxian's aura of cultivation at all. If she closed her eyes, she probably wouldn't even know that she was right in front of her.

"Protect you?" Jiang Ruxian was confused.

With some grief and helplessness, Mrs. Liu replied, "Yesterday, as usual, I went to the market to buy the raw materials for engraving talisman seals, and was about to return to my residence, when I met a group of people. The tolerance technique was broken, and then he wanted to kill me, so I ran away desperately..."

"It was the female leader of the Tianjian Division who ran into me and rescued me. According to her investigation, I learned that those who wanted to kill me all came from the Xiangguo Mansion."

"They all come from Xiangguo Mansion?"

Jiang Ruxian was stunned for a moment, and then understood that what happened in the Xiangguo Mansion more than ten years ago, until now, probably hasn't been cleaned up.

As the person who took care of Jiang Lan's meals at that time, how could this wet nurse escape?

Liu's expression was full of bewilderment, "I thought Madam was moved by compassion and let me leave the Xiangguo Mansion safely. I was worried and lived here carefully for more than ten years. I was walking on thin ice. There was never a day when I was safe. , but who knows that in the end, it is still impossible to escape the fate of being cleared and resolved. Rather than worrying about it like this, I might as well die right then and there."

Jiang Ruxian comforted, "Nurse don't have to worry too much. From now on, I will protect your safety and let you have a stable life."

She could feel Liu's worry, grief, fear, fear...

Facing a behemoth like the Xiangguo Mansion, she can only survive for so many years, she can only be said to be lucky.

"If the Xiangguo Mansion wants to get rid of her, it may not choose this time. It is very likely that Jiang Lan's recent changes have aroused Li Qingshu's worries. Just in case, he will always cover up the truth before thinking about it. Clean up the Liu family..."

Jiang Ruxian thought to herself.

She can conclude that Jiang Lan, like her, has been reborn from the future and returned to the present.

But Xiangguo Jiang Lintian and Xiangguo's wife Li Qingshu don't necessarily know about it.

"Miss Ruxian, are you planning to go to the imperial capital?"

After being comforted by Jiang Ruxian, Liu's mood gradually stabilized a lot, and she remembered her sudden appearance in Guangyuan City, which is actually not very far from the imperial capital.

"Yes." Jiang Ruxian nodded, but there was a bit of disappointment in the depths of her eyes.

Liu Shi cautiously asked tentatively, "Are you going to take revenge?"

With Jiang Ruxian's unpredictable and terrifying cultivation base, maybe he can really seek justice for what happened back then.

Jiang Ruxian was startled when he heard this.

revenge?

In fact, since returning to the past from the future, she no longer has the deep obsession and hatred she had at the beginning, not to mention that she had personally killed the enemy in the last life, and had already avenged her once.

To her, this is just a trivial matter.

So, she just thought about it, and then said, "I'm going to meet someone."

"Yes... are you going to see Young Master Jiang Lan?" Liu Shi looked at her and blurted out subconsciously.

Jiang Ruxian wanted to nod her head, but the sense of loss and bewilderment in her heart was even deeper.

"I... still don't know how to face him..."

"But I think, let's take a look at him from a distance first." She shook her head, sighed inwardly, and replied calmly.

Hearing this, Mrs. Liu wiped the tears on her face with her sleeve, then laughed and said, "If Master Jiang Lan knew that Miss Ruxian not only lived a good life, but also had such an unfathomable body You will definitely be very happy with your cultivation..."

"He must really want to see you again."

"yes……"

But Jiang Ruxian felt sour in his heart, he just shook his head and didn't say much to explain.

When mentioning this matter, Mrs. Liu seemed to think of a lot of the past and memories, and bursts of regret and regret appeared on her face, and said, "Yes, do you need to think about it? Young Master Jiang Lan, he must really want to see Miss Ruxian again. , if he knew that you were still alive, you wouldn't be like this all these years..."

"He's not like that at all."

"Although I have been living in seclusion in Guangyuan City, I can often hear those rumors. It is a pity for Young Master Jiang Lan..."

Jiang Ruxian knew what she meant, her long eyelashes trembled, and the emotions in her eyes fluctuated violently, and a fairy mist appeared on her face again, covering her face.

"Nurse, are you willing to go to the imperial capital with me?" She looked at Liu Shi, interrupting her still chattering words of emotion.

Liu knew that Jiang Ruxian probably wanted to protect her own safety by saying this.

She hesitated for a while, then glanced at Commander Linglong and Hu Heng who were unable to move, nodded, and said, "Since Miss Ruxian is going to the imperial capital, then I will accompany you. troublesome."

Jiang Ruxian said, "After arriving in the imperial capital, I want you, wet nurse, to seek refuge in the Xiangguo Mansion. If Jiang Lan knows that you are still alive, he will definitely protect you and prevent Li Qingshu from hurting you."

"What about you, Miss Ruxian?" Although Liu Shi was still a little hesitant about this, she didn't think too much about it.

"You don't have to worry about me. In today's world, no one can hurt me." Jiang Ruxian said calmly.

Commander Linglong and Hu Heng, who had been immobile all the time, heard these words, but there was a huge wave in their hearts, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time.

The mysterious woman's tone was extremely calm, without any disturbance.

But those words were full of extreme self-confidence that looked down on the world and overlooked all living beings.

They didn't even have the thoughts and thoughts to question these words at all.

At this time, Jiang Ruxian seemed to have the intention to look at the two of them. Originally, she planned to kill the two of them directly, but since the other party saved Liu Shi, she let them go.

It's just that they couldn't remember the conversation between her and Liu Shi just now.

With a wave of her sleeves, an inexplicable breath flooded the two of them, and the haze rushed to the brows of the two, immediately making their eyes go dark, and then they fell to the ground with a plop.

At the same time, the corresponding memory in my mind was completely erased.

Mrs. Liu stared blankly at this unimaginable method, and when she came back to her senses, she realized that she and Jiang Ruxian had disappeared outside the other courtyard.

"Nurse, do you have anything else to pack?" Jiang Ruxian asked.

Liu Shi came to her senses, shook her head and said, "There's nothing to clean up, I've lived in seclusion here for many years, and I haven't left anything..."

Jiang Ruxian nodded, and took Liu Shi out of the city.

Her footsteps were not fast, and as she walked, under the skirt that covered her legs, a misty fairy mist seemed to diffuse out, quickly covering the two of them completely, the void was twisted and blurred, and they disappeared in a blink of an eye.

After Jiang Ruxian and Liu Shi completely disappeared.

Commander Linglong and Hu Heng, who were unconscious on the ground outside the other courtyard, woke up one after another.

"what happened?"

The two of them frowned and looked at each other, and they both saw bewilderment and puzzlement in each other's eyes.

Both of them were at a loss and confused about why they appeared here, and their minds were completely blank without any memory.

"Didn't I remember that I was tracking down a lair of the Blood Immortal Cult?"

Commander Linglong looked at the crowded street not far away, and the passing crowd didn't notice the movement on their side.

She frowned and tried hard to remember, but her mind went blank, and she felt like seeing a ghost in broad daylight.

The same is true for Hu Heng at the side, his bewildered eyes are filled with a trace of fear and horror.

"Didn't I just want to set off, come here from the imperial capital, and bring that person back?"

"Hey, who is that person?"

"Why don't I have any memory, what's going on?"

After working for Emperor Xia for many years, it was the first time that Hu Heng encountered such a horrifying and unimaginable thing.

"The two of us should have met a certain expert, and the memories related to him were cut off..."

"This method is terrible, but it didn't hurt the lives of the two of us." Commander Linglong frowned, forced herself to calm down, and began to analyze seriously, recalling the cause and effect, and finally came up with a clue.

"Is there such a terrifying existence in Guangyuan City?" Hu Heng was still full of horror and disbelief.

Commander Linglong's heart was heavy, and then his eyes swept over the surroundings one by one, especially the corners of the other courtyard, the flower beds, and several ponds not far away, and the branches protruding from the high wall.

There was a flash of light in her eyes, and she took a deep breath to calm herself down.

"Although that expert's methods are terrifying, he doesn't know me, he doesn't know that I have the ability to communicate with insects, fish, birds and beasts..."

"This actually left me with a clue that might work."

Commander Linglong thought to herself, she wasn't sure whether the mysterious expert used the domain to suppress them when he attacked her and Hu Heng, or directly sealed off the space here, completely isolating the movement here.

That mysterious master probably wouldn't care about the rest of the living beings in this space.

After all, how intelligent can insects, fish, birds, and beasts be?That weak soul can't stand the probe at all, and will be annihilated in an instant.

But her talent can be brought out under such circumstances.

This is also the most important reason why at such an age, she can firmly sit in the position of Supervisor Tiansi...

The next moment, Commander Linglong's mind was restrained, her lips that didn't have much blood color moved together, and a series of small and weak voices sounded, like some kind of weird syllables, obscure, extremely complicated and profound.

Only those with a strong cultivation base hold their breath and focus all their attention on their ears, can they hear clearly.

The sound was rustling, like young grass breaking through the ground, green branches sprouting, and insects and ants gnawing, it was very strange.

Hu Heng on the side saw this, his eyes froze, and he also slowed down his breathing, not daring to disturb him.

He knew the special talent of this junior sister, known as a rare genius in thousands of years in the Wanshoumen.

Then, on the branches above the high wall, birds flew over, chirping there, and some insects and ants came out from the corners of the walls and flower beds, including geckos, centipedes, etc., making strange noises. the sound of.

In the fish pond not far away, some fish also protruded their mouths from the water surface, constantly opening and closing.

Every time Hu Heng saw this scene, he was amazed.

As a disciple of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, he naturally has the ability to control all beasts, but he has no way to communicate with these insects, ants, birds and beasts.

Because these individuals are too weak to carry the aura of heaven and earth, let alone withstand the scouring of the power of the soul, if you want to control the beasts, you must communicate with them and form a contract imprint.

It is also impossible for them to waste time and energy to cultivate these weak life individuals.

"Is there no relevant picture memory..."

Commander Linglong frowned, with sweat appearing faintly on her face, she looked a little pale.

With her talent, it is not a simple matter to communicate and select effective messages from these voices, and it takes a lot of brainpower and energy.

And just when she was about to give up, a look of shock and disbelief suddenly appeared on her face.

"I see……"

She murmured, with a serious expression on her face, "Xiangguo Mansion, I think we are about to encounter big trouble."

"Junior Sister, what's going on?" Hu Heng asked anxiously on his face.

"The mysterious master who attacked us is a woman, her strength is extremely terrifying, definitely above the eighth realm..."

"This matter must be reported back to the imperial capital as soon as possible." Commander Linglong said with a calm face, but her voice trembled slightly.

In fact, she only learned some vague pictures and sounds, and couldn't completely sort out the context of the whole thing.

But I did get some useful information from it.

Hearing this, Hu Heng's heart was full of shock and disbelief, and at the same time, he was even more horrified.

Above eight realms?

What is this concept.

The strongest person on the bright side of Great Xia today is only at the Eighth Realm Tribulation Bridge Realm.

He didn't dare to have any hesitation, took out the communication jade talisman, and began to report the matter. At the same time, Commander Linglong didn't dare to delay. A mysterious existence suspected to be above the eighth realm appeared in the territory of Daxia. The entire Tianjian Division is on alert for it.

The eight realms are also known as the Tribulation Bridge Realm. There are nine steps in this realm. Once a monk entered this realm in ancient times, he had to go through the baptism of the Heavenly Tribulation.

Every time you take a step forward, your strength will undergo earth-shaking changes.

To put it bluntly, one person in six realms can destroy a city, seven realms can overwhelm a county, and eight realms can deter a country.

……

The imperial capital, Jingyang City.

Inside Chengming Hall.

Emperor Xia was holding a snow-covered white cat in his arms, correcting the memorial. The bright yellow dragon robe was on his body, the crown on his head remained motionless, and the colorful beads falling down would sway gently with her movements.

"what happened?"

"Why didn't you say anything for so long?"

She raised her eyes, glanced at Chunlan in front of her, and saw that she was holding the Jade Talisman of Communication, but she didn't speak for a long time.

"Your Majesty, this is the news from the Dark Flower Pavilion, you should read it yourself."

Chunlan originally wanted to pass it on for Emperor Xia, but after reading the content, she was shocked and didn't know how to speak for a while.

Emperor Xia was a little surprised when he heard this.

"Could it be that the woman in the portrait has a problem? Was it cut off?" she asked.

Chunlan smiled wryly, thinking that His Majesty is really smart, but it is far more than that simple.

She took a few steps forward and respectfully put down the Jade Talisman of Communication.

Emperor Xia picked it up, and swept his consciousness towards it. When he saw the contents clearly, he couldn't help showing a touch of surprise and shock on his face.

"It seems that a mysterious existence above the eighth realm made a move?"

She frowned, and sat upright, not as casual as before.

Chunlan stood aside respectfully.

When she saw the content, she couldn't help being startled.

"At this juncture, a mysterious eight-level existence suddenly appeared, and he has a deep relationship with the Xiangguo Mansion..."

Emperor Xia carefully read all the contents of the jade talisman.

There are three hidden sword celestial beings in Daxia, and each of them is an existence of the eighth realm.

On the bright side, this is also the foundation of Da Xia's ability to deter all parties.

But Emperor Xia knew that Jiang Lintian, the current prime minister, seemed to have stepped into this realm many years ago.

Besides, his wife Li Qingshu's strength is also very unfathomable. Compared with Jiang Lintian, she can only be said to be only stronger than weaker.

But what she cares about now is the news in the communication jade talisman.

That mysterious existence suspected to be in the Eighth Realm might have gone to seek revenge from the Xiangguo Mansion?
Xiahuang rubbed the jade talisman with his white fingertips, lost in thought. The information in the jade talisman was not complete, because even the Dark Flower Pavilion was not able to investigate clearly.

Linglong, the supervisor of Tiansi, only vaguely deduced some useful news.

First, the person who intercepted Hu and rescued the Liu family was a mysterious woman whose strength was suspected to be above the eighth realm, and who would come to the imperial capital to seek revenge from the Xiangguofu.

Second, the Liu family was Jiang Lan's former wet nurse. For some reason, she knew some secrets of the Xiangguo Mansion. It was because of this reason that she was attacked and murdered many years later.

Third, there are indeed some unknown secrets hidden in Jiang Lan's body, and his wet nurse has expressed regret many times, thinking that he will become what he is now, just like what happened in the Xiangguo Mansion more than ten years ago. about that matter.

"What happened to Xiangguo Mansion more than ten years ago?"

"Combined with the information I got before, Jiang Lan has another sister, could it be that mysterious woman?"

"That is to say, the secret that happened in the Xiangguo Mansion more than ten years ago caused Jiang Lan to lose his cultivation and become a famous second-generation patriarch of the Great Xia, so as to cover up that incident?"

"Is this also the reason why he started practicing again later?"

Emperor Xia obviously felt that he had vaguely figured out some general context and clues.

All that's left now are the details.

She tapped on the copy with her jade hand, but her brows became more and more wrinkled. Logically speaking, she should be happy that the Xiangguo Mansion encountered such a powerful enemy.

But now that Nanshou's rehearsal is coming soon, this matter does not make her happy.

If it were normal, she would have been in a happy mood long ago, but now she was worried in her heart whether it would affect the overall situation.

Even she had to admit that the Xiangguo Mansion has contributed a lot to the stability of the Great Xia and the deterrence of the immortal sects of all parties.

If there was no Xiangguo Mansion, she would not be able to lie dormant in the cracks, rely on weapons and drink courage, and continue to develop, let alone let those vassal kings and county kings keep themselves safe and dare not give birth to two hearts.

Before she had complete control over the overall situation and had the strength to overwhelm hundreds of nations and thousands of sects, the Xiangguo Mansion was Daxia's most terrifying sharp-edged minion.

"Although I am very unwilling, but for the sake of the overall situation, I can only endure it..." Xia Huangyu clenched her hands tightly, her face sinking like water.

That night, just after Xu time, the willow twigs were on the moon.

Emperor Xia then changed into casual clothes and dressed up in disguise, but he only brought Chunlan with him, and also let her dress up as a guard, and went to Yuxianfang.

According to what she knew about Jiang Lan, she would definitely meet him there.

Sure enough, when Emperor Xia arrived at Yuxianfang and asked Chunlan to inquire briefly, he found out where Jiang Lan was.

In a secluded hut near the river bank, surrounded by white mist, figures of singers and dancers appear faintly in it, accompanied by melodious voices like orioles.

The golden lanterns are hung on the eaves, very bright, one side faces the river bank, and the other side faces the pond in the garden of the house. When you come late, you can see the moon when you look up, and you can see the moon when you look down. The shadow of the moon shone on the surface of the river, like a river of broken silver.

Emperor Xia also had to admit that this is a good place.

With her hands behind her back, she walked over calmly.

Jiang Lan was leaning on a floppy bed, listening to the music with narrowed eyes, looking very leisurely.

Beside him, there was a girl with delicate features, blue silk like black silk, and white skin like snow, wearing a black tunic dress, rubbing his shoulders and kicking his legs.

From time to time, he stuffed a few peeled grapes into his mouth, and put a contented and happy smile on his picturesque eyebrows, as if he enjoyed this intimate act very much.

Emperor Xia snorted coldly, and said, "Young Master Jiang, you really know how to enjoy it."

As the Lord of Great Xia, she never had such a leisurely and comfortable time, but Jiang Lan enjoyed it like this every night. She even came to see him in person for the affairs of the Xiangguo Mansion.

This made her feel even more upset.

There was dissatisfaction in the first place, but it was almost written directly on his face.

Jiang Lan's half-closed eyes opened now, as if he was surprised that Emperor Xia would appear here.

"Brother Haoxin, why did you come to see me after only seeing me for a day?" He smiled and said.

At the same time, they waved their hands, and all the singers and dancers in the house bowed and retreated in unison.

In fact, Jiang Lan already knew that Emperor Xia would take the initiative to find him, after all, she had already bitten the bait he threw.

As for when to find him, it is only a matter of time.

But he did not expect that Emperor Xia would come to him so soon...

Things went much smoother than he expected.

It's just that there is no news from Song Youwei. She must have something to do and was delayed.

Jiang Lan sat up slightly, motioning for Emperor Xia to sit down.

The furnishings in the room are also simple, in front of him there is a wide bamboo mat on the floor, a few woven silk cushions, and a red bean wood wine table with dark red lacquer, with some spiritual fruits and drinks on it.

Emperor Xia just glanced at him, and didn't intend to sit down. He just said blankly, "I'm here to look for you, of course there is something important. Does Mr. Jiang think that everyone is as busy as you?"

Jiang Lan smiled nonchalantly at her insinuation, "Indeed, I am quite leisurely. After all, I have nothing to do every day. My parents raised me like a useless person, so I don't need to worry about anything."

"Isn't it just a bad day?"

Emperor Xia became more and more upset, and his eyes swept over You'er who was beside Jiang Lan.

She sent someone to investigate Jiang Lan, so she naturally knew that the girl was the slave he rescued in the arena that day.

In the past few days, it was like being born again.

Especially... She noticed the aura on You'er.

"The Huangji Creation Pill I gave you, did you swallow it for her?" Emperor Xia's eyes were obviously a little colder.

She could naturally feel the aura of Huangji Good Fortune Pill, a hard-to-find and extremely precious pill in the outside world, even the disciples of the royal family are extremely rare.

How could he be so reckless and use it on a slave?
"Since you gave it to me, then whoever I want to swallow it, isn't that my business?"

"What, you have to take care of this?" Jiang Lan's expression was still casual.

Emperor Xia snorted coldly, and was not in the mood to bicker with him about these things.

She stretched out her hand expressionlessly, and the clear light flickered, and a rolled up portrait emerged, and she threw it directly in front of Jiang Lan.

"What is this?" Jiang Lan seemed a little surprised.

"Look for yourself." Emperor Xia said flatly.

Jiang Lan unfolded the portrait, and with just a glance, the casual expression on his face subsided, and then put the portrait away without saying a word.

Emperor Xia had already expected his expression.

"How did you get this portrait?" Jiang Lan asked.

Xiahuang remembered his response yesterday, and said lightly, "You don't need to know about this. You just need to know that the Xiangguo Mansion will be in trouble."

"trouble?"

Jiang Lan frowned slightly, he finally raised his eyes and landed on Emperor Xia's face.

Although she was disguised and dressed up, her eyes were very bright and deep, revealing an unspeakable majesty, and she was looking at him very calmly at this moment.

Is Emperor Xia lying to him?Otherwise why do you say that?Could it be that she thinks that knowing that secret, she can use it to threaten the Xiangguo Mansion?

He pondered a little.

Seeing Jiang Lan's expression, Emperor Xia rarely felt joyful in his heart. In front of Jiang Lan yesterday, there was always a feeling of being led by the nose and seen through by him.

She said lightly, "It seems that Mr. Jiang, you still don't know about it."

"I really don't know, but the Xiangguo Mansion is in trouble, and my parents are going to solve it. Why should I worry about it? If you tell me this, I'm afraid I've found the wrong person." Jiang Lan smiled.

"You really don't want to know, what's the trouble?"

Emperor Xia's reaction to Jiang Lan was completely expected, there was no change in tone, and there was a little more interest in it.

"I don't want to." Jiang Lan was sure that she was trying to trick her.

Since the Liu family had already been rescued by Ling Long, the supervisor of Tiansi, at this time, Emperor Xia must have learned of the secret of the Xiangguo Mansion more than ten years ago from Liu's side.

She came to test herself like this, she just wanted to deceive herself, whether she knew about it or not.

"It's really oily and salty. However, at this moment, you are still pretending to be so calm and calm, you are indeed worthy of it."

"You should recognize the person in this portrait, she was your former wet nurse." Xia Huang seemed to laugh.

Jiang Lan looked at her and motioned for her to continue talking.

"Now she was taken away by a mysterious and powerful woman in white..." Emperor Xia kept staring at Jiang Lan's expression.

And when she said this, she finally saw a wave of emotion on Jiang Lan's face.

"Woman in white?"

Jiang Lan looked at her seriously.

Emperor Xia smiled mockingly, and said, "It seems that you can't hold back any longer?"

Many emotions rolled through Jiang Lan's heart, and he was indeed a little surprised and shocked at the moment. Emperor Xia should not be testing himself, but that this is really the case.

After all, in the original plot, Jiang Ruxian was born and ended up later, but in the memory he instilled in Liu Shi, she didn't know that Jiang Ruxian was still alive.

Even if Emperor Xia wanted to test himself, it was impossible to use a person who should have died so stupidly to test himself.

In other words, things changed unexpectedly.

"What do you know?" Jiang Lan quickly recovered and asked calmly.

Jiang Ruxian's early departure completely disrupted all his plans.

With his current strength, he was not enough to deal with Jiang Ruxian. When she appeared in the original plot, she was already invincible in the world.

Even Lin Fan, the original protagonist who was cheating, met her, like a mouse meeting a cat, and could only run away in embarrassment.

Although the hatred between the two originated from his mother Li Qingshu, if he wanted to resolve the misunderstanding, he could just explain the matter thoroughly.

But...the current Jiang Lan is not the original Jiang Lan.

He is just a selfish villain, a person with vested interests.

After merging many original memories and knowing the direction of the original story in the original plot, he actually has no affection for Jiang Ruxian.

The enmity between Yuanchen and Jiang Ruxian had already ended the moment Yuanchen was pierced through her heart by her sword.

If I still owe her anything now, it is the seven-orifice exquisite fairy heart in my body...

The original body's heart was already dead, and after he merged with the original memory, the original body no longer existed.

Jiang Lan is not qualified to forgive Jiang Ruxian for the original body, nor is he qualified to ask Jiang Ruxian to forgive his parents.

Now that Jiang Ruxian is going to kill him, in his eyes, she is an enemy with great luck, a chess piece that can be calculated and used.

That's it.

Jiang Lan wouldn't feel guilty about it.

"All I know is that the mysterious woman wants to take revenge on the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"The Nanshou rehearsal is coming soon, I don't want any accidents to happen." Emperor Xia replied lightly.

She found Jiang Lan herself, and she just wanted to remind the Xiangguo Mansion through him, so that the mysterious woman would not spoil the overall situation.

"Thank you." Jiang Lan's words were not perfunctory. If Emperor Xia hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have known that Jiang Ruxian had left early.

"Thanks, it's free."

"I'm just thinking about the overall situation." Emperor Xia said calmly.

Jiang Lan also had to admit that she was indeed a good emperor, but it was a pity that she was born at an untimely time, and she could not sit firmly on the throne relying on her own strength.

But even though he had such thoughts in his heart, it didn't affect Jiang Lan's plan to continue to squeeze Emperor Xia's luck in the slightest.

"As a thank you, if you encounter trouble in the future, I will help you once." Jiang Lan said.

Emperor Xia just glanced at him, noncommittal.

As the son of Xiangguo's mansion, he helps himself, so what is his position?
"You should know that mysterious woman?" Emperor Xia asked.

"I know." Jiang Lan nodded, not hiding anything.

"I sent someone to inquire about you, so I learned some secrets..." Emperor Xia looked at him and continued.

"When I saw that portrait, I already guessed it. You don't need to explain. I'm not interested in whether you inquire or investigate." Jiang Lan interrupted.

Emperor Xia seemed to have become accustomed to his attitude towards him, and was not angry.

"I'm somewhat interested in what happened to you more than ten years ago." She said with great interest.

Jiang Lan asked casually, "Are you a woman? Are you so curious?"

"..."

Emperor Xia narrowed his eyes, and there was a dangerous aura permeating his body.
