Lan Yue took the opportunity to increase her pressure. "If you can't do this, you can forget about meeting Suhua."

"Queen, don't force Smoke so much. This matter is indeed difficult, but no matter what, you must do your best. Father believes in you."

Ji Shi'er was speechless. How could they be so despicable?

She had to do everything and reap the rewards. However, based on the situation in front of her, she couldn't refuse anymore.

"With Shang Moxue's powers, if it was just some ordinary poison, he would have easily detected it. The last time you poisoned Su Li, you only had one bottle, so this time we have to use this!"

He gave her another porcelain bottle. "This is Yellow Cloud Grass, colorless, tasteless, and not exactly a poison, but it can paralyze people for an instant, and with Shang Moxue's powers, he will break through within an hour, so he has to hurry. As long as you let him eat this, no matter how strong he is, even if it's an ordinary human that doesn't have mana, they can easily kill him."

Looking at the sinister expression on her face, Ji Xi'er could guess that he had killed quite a few people in this way before.

She knew that if she did not agree, he would also let them do it. If even Shang Moxue was in danger, then their situation would be even more dangerous, so she nodded.

"Yes, royal father, your daughter will definitely not disappoint you. "It's getting late, so I have to go back quickly. Otherwise, the Wolf King will definitely suspect me."

"En, you can leave first!"

Seeing Ji Xi'er's figure disappear at the door, both Yue Wuxiu and Lan Yue revealed a complacent smile.

"I didn't expect that the lowly maid would be so important to her. As long as she is in our hands, she should work properly for us."

In her eyes, Ji Xi Er was just a chess piece. If this chess piece lost its value, it would no longer be necessary for her to use it.

Ji Shi'er initially wanted to curry favor with them today. With her information, she should be able to obtain the whereabouts of her mother. However, she didn't expect that Yue Wushu was more cunning than she had imagined.

She would not miss a chance to squeeze her out, but that was good, and at least she had learned from them of the plot to move on.

She knew Shang Moxue should be nearby, but she could not see him. Thinking of this, she felt a sense of relief. He should have heard what Yue Wuxiu had said just now.

Upon reaching the unimodal bridge, a familiar figure suddenly walked into Zhang Xuan's sight.

Before she could recall who it was, the person on the other side had already enthusiastically called out her name, "Smoke."

This familiar voice reminded her of the voice she had heard last night when she was drunk, hoarse and in excruciating pain.

As they got closer and closer, they soon met in the middle of the bridge.

He was dressed in dark robes and was extraordinarily handsome, yet he didn't have the charming features of a fox. His brows were furrowed with a hint of sadness, but it wasn't as obvious as last night.

Seeing her, Jing Xuan's face was filled with joy and excitement, but he didn't lose control like last night. "Smoke, why are you here?"

"I … I wanted to find my father to find out where my mother was."

Nian Xuan looked at her face. "You must be disappointed."

Ji Xi'er smiled bitterly. "That's right, I'm really useless."

Don't worry, this is also the reason why I came here today. My mother is the eldest princess of the foxes, she knows all the layout of the palace, and she is also close friends with the queen. I begged her for a long time, and she finally agreed to help me ask, today, I accompanied my mother to the palace.

Ji Shi'er looked at him in surprise, "Really? Does your mother really know the answer? "

"Probably, I don't know, and I can't tell my mother the truth, because at the queen's instigation my mother also hated the Princess, so …" He was too embarrassed to continue the rest of the sentence, obviously afraid that she would be sad.

"It's alright. If she can really ask, then you've helped me a lot. Thank you for that."

"Smoke, don't say it like that, do we even need to thank each other?" It's only natural for me to do anything for you. You just have to wait for my news. "

Ji Xi'er lowered her head despondently. "I'm really worried that they might have tortured my mother to death."

"I don't think so. From the queen's character, she should at most be imprisoned in a place where no one can find her. Don't worry."

Seeing that she was still depressed, Qiu Xuan could only continue to comfort her. "Since I was young, I have often come to the palace to play. I'm very familiar with the people there, so I can ask them for help."

Under the suppression of Lan Yue, Lunar Mark didn't have any friends around him. When everyone mentioned her, they all looked at her with disdain, fearing that they might have any relationship with her. That was why she was feeling so vexed.

"Qiu Xuan, no matter what, I still have to thank you."

Her own plan had failed, and she might be able to place her hopes on him.

At this moment, she suddenly thought of a question. She quickly looked around, feeling somewhat apprehensive.

Did Shang Mo Xue leave already? If he saw this scene, would he misunderstand again?

Forget it, she was the one who was thinking too much. She and Qiu Xuan were just standing there chatting, and nothing had happened between them. He wouldn't cause such a ruckus without a reason.

"Smoke, like I said, there's nothing to thank or not about our relationship. Once I help you save the wangfei, I'll take you away from this place and away from all the disputes here."

"Qiu Xuan, I …" She couldn't bear to disappoint him, so she wanted to explain, but as soon as she said it, she was in a hurry to leave.

"For the sake of your reputation, we shouldn't spend too much time together. It would be bad if someone saw us. Chiyan, I'm leaving. Believe me, I'll definitely help you do it." He gave her a quick hug, then hurried past her.

Ji Xi'er did not know whether to laugh or cry. Why was it that he would suddenly attack her every time? The last time was during a kiss, but this time, he was embracing her again …

Moreover, no matter how he listened to it, he felt as if his words were filled with love.

She looked around and saw no one. Perhaps, Shang Moxue had already gone back? It was best not to let him see. She had had enough of his ice face, and it was still better than that humorous and elegant Shang Moxue from before.

After crossing the single bridge, they reached the bamboo forest road in front of them. After crossing the bridge, they would then proceed to her residence.

Suddenly, a gale began to blow in front of her eyes, and the leaves began to rustle. She immediately stopped. How could there be such a gale!

What she didn't know was that a figure had appeared behind her, grabbing her waist, scaring her to the point where she wanted to scream, but he covered her mouth and quickly brought her to the depths of the hidden bamboo forest.

Ji Si`er started to feel scared. Had she been kidnapped? It would be great if Shang Mo Xue was here.

When her feet finally landed on the solid ground, her body also regained its freedom. She turned around and was immediately infuriated. "Shang Moxue, what are you doing?"

He really nearly scared her to death. He suddenly kidnapped her and brought her here, causing her to be completely unprepared. She thought that he was a bad guy.

"What, you were so happy when you were dating your lover, and now you're scaring me like this?" This King really doesn't know that you're so timid. "

Why did he always accuse her, misunderstand her? Ji Xi'er was really angry.

"What lover? I'm only friends with him at most. Shang Moxue, don't spout nonsense, alright?"

"Heh, yesterday you kissed me, then today you hugged me again. Do you think This King's eyes are blind?"

"Then you should have seen him take the initiative. I didn't even have the time to react, okay?"

"Since that's the case, This King will go and kill that man now."

"No, no." Ji Xi'er was startled and quickly stopped him. "What's going on with you? Why do you have to go against Qiu Xuan? Just keep an eye on your peony. You don't need to worry about me."

He actually dared to say that he didn't need to care! Shang Moxue's face was extremely gloomy. Another gust of wind blew and bamboo leaves fell to the ground, as if it was raining.

The girl covered her face with her sleeve. She truly felt that Shang Moxue was hopeless.

"If you fall in love with him, I'll kill the man."

He might have used too much force, causing her to frown in pain, slapping him, "Let go, let go, it hurts."

Seeing that she was in so much pain that she was about to cry, he finally managed to lighten his grip.

She did not understand why Shang Moxue would care so much about this matter. Even if he really did care about Su Li Mei, he would not care so much.

She pushed him away, "You don't have to mind your own business. I told you that the only one I like is Little White, so it's fine if you don't believe me. Also, this is the last time I'll explain it to you."

After saying that, she turned around and ran away, leaving the area.

The hateful Shang Moxue, hmph, to think she was so worried that Yue Wuxiu would do something bad to him, she might as well poison him to death.

It was just that she could not understand the strong reaction of Shang Moxue, leaving her baffled. It seemed like she had to make Peony ask him what exactly Whitey had said to him before he left to make him change his mood so much.
