Just when Shura was rushing to the border at full speed.

Hengyue Dynasty, Shangjing City, the forbidden area behind the Regent's Palace, the Tonghua Terrace, and the Zhuhong Xiaozhu.

The snow has just begun to fall, the sun is breaking through the clouds, and the red plum blossoms in the courtyard are in full bloom, their red color is better than the cinnabar on the forehead of a beautiful woman.

"Baby be good...baby be good...sleep...sleep..." In a low-key luxurious interior as warm as spring, Cinnabar had a motherly look on her face, smiling lightly and holding a light yellow swaddling clothes in her arms.

Walking around the screen window, softly coaxing the pink-carved baby in her arms to sleep, while admiring the blooming red plums in the courtyard from time to time.

The pink little bun in her arms was about to cry. Under her soft coaxing, her big black jade-like eyes filled with watery tears soon became misty, and she spat out a saliva bubble, which was so sweet.

fell asleep.

Zhusha breathed a sigh of relief and smiled and handed the little man to the wet nurse whom he found from the clan. This little ancestor was not easy to take care of. Every time he woke up and had a full meal, if he didn't see her, he would

Open your mouth and cry "Wow wow", the sound is quite amazing.

Even Zhusha himself never expected that this pink little bun would be so attached to him.

Perhaps, this is the so-called... bloodline nature?

Although she is not his biological mother, she is still from the same direct lineage of the Helian royal family...

"Take good care of the young prince, and don't be careless just because the weather in the capital has warmed up recently." Zhu Sha lightly ordered the wet nurse, but a cold and cold light flashed in her dreamy eyes.

"Yes, Holy Emperor... uh, Miss Cinnabar." The young and delicate wet nurse was so frightened that she almost blurted out the true identity hidden by Cinnabar, but luckily she was not such a tactful person and spoke quickly.

It was turned around.

But Cinnabar's watery eyes suddenly narrowed, and a bone-chilling murderous intent flashed through them!

"Be careful what you say, be careful that walls have ears. If you let anything slip next time, you won't have to live in this world anymore. I, Zhu Sha, am looking for a nanny, and there are many people!"

She smiled lightly, her voice was very soft, like a soft whisper between lovers, but the meaning revealed in it was so dangerous, cruel and cruel that it made people shudder.

"Yes...yes, I know my crime. There will never be a next time."

The wet nurse's body trembled again, her delicate face was pale and bloodless, and she was busy showing her loyalty.

"Well, you go down."

Cinnabar glanced at her lightly again, then turned around, taking his time to admire the Shenghuo blooming in the courtyard, which was even more beautiful than the cinnabar-shaped red plums on the woman's eyebrows.

"Yes." The wet nurse remained silent, not daring to neglect at all, and quickly retreated with the baby in her arms.

"Ling'er..." Zhu Sha admired the red plum blossoms on the twisting and freehand branches, and softly called Ling'er, the quiet confidant who was accompanying her.

As for Xiu'er, another confidant maid, she didn't know what she was sending out to do.

"Yes, Master, what are your orders?" Ling'er, who was kneeling in front of the soft couch with a fruit plate and snacks, immediately came forward obediently after hearing the sound.

"Has Zuo Shi's injury healed?" Zhu Sha asked softly with a faint smile.

"Back to Master, Ling'er returned to the room to visit Mr. Zuo Shi half an hour ago. Although Mr. Zuo Shi's injuries are not completely healed, they are mostly healed. It will take a short period of time to fully recover. After all,

Master Zuo has been suppressing this internal injury for a long time."

"Um...that's it..." Zhu Sha frowned slightly dissatisfied, but she also knew that what Ling'er said was the truth. Zuo Shi had been injured for too long, and he didn't get treatment at the first time. Even if he gets it now,

Although there are elixirs that can heal and recover, complete recovery cannot be achieved without a long period of time.

"Master, do you have something to ask Mr. Zuo to do?"

Ling'er is very clever and intelligent, and he immediately sensed Zhu Sha's meaning from Zhu Sha's words, "If Ling'er can do it, Ling'er is willing to share the burden with his master..."

"Forget it, your cultivation is not enough." Zhu Sha interrupted her lightly. What she wanted to instruct Zuo Shi to do was to go to the border where Huangfu Ye was fighting and send a message to the Anqi of the Helian clan among the three dynasties there.

, start and preside over the next plan, the time must be fast, Ling'er's cultivation and speed can never catch up, and Ling'er's strength is not enough to convince the crowd——

Although those people were loyal to their clan, they were all extremely arrogant men. They were also generals with great military achievements in the border areas and held heavy troops. They just obeyed orders from a woman of noble status like her.

They absolutely cannot bear the humiliation of a lowly little maid.

"Since Zuo Shi's injury is so serious, just let him continue to recover peacefully." She groaned for a while, then ordered, but murmured to herself, "Ye's battle should not end so soon.

, it should take more than a year... there is still plenty of time."

——Zhusha would never have thought at this moment that just because of this thought, she would be completely defeated and all her plans would be destroyed in one day.

"Yes, Master. Master, today Ling'er asked the kitchen to prepare your favorite crystal honey cake for you. Would you like to try it now?" Ling'er was slightly taken aback, and immediately asked with a smile that was kind and flattering.

"Well, okay." Zhusha suddenly became more interested, turned around slightly, and suddenly caught an incredible sight in the corner of his eye——

A few palm-sized small black and white shadows danced on the branches of the red plum trees in full bloom!

That’s—a butterfly!?

Cinnabar's face suddenly changed, and she suddenly turned around. A pair of snow-white jade hands covered with bright red cinnamon suddenly grabbed the window lattice, half of her body leaned out, and a pair of watery eyes that changed color stared at the red plum trees.

!

Why do butterflies appear at this time of year?

A fierce uneasiness suddenly gripped Zhusha's heart.

If something goes wrong, there must be a monster!

She half-squinted her eerie and twinkling eyes, staring intently at the graceful and beautiful palm-sized butterflies dancing on the red plum blossoms on the snow.

Where do these butterflies come from? Why are they still active after the cold winter? Are they wild, or... domesticated?

The former doesn't matter, it can only be said to be a mutated special butterfly, relatively rare, and it's just a coincidence that it appears here to collect nectar.

But if it’s the latter…this matter is serious!

Thinking of this, Zhu Sha's face couldn't help showing a hint of horror. She grabbed the wooden window lattice with her delicate hands, and her beautiful bright red nails almost dug into the wood with such force.

"Huh? The butterfly is here again..." Cinnabar's change of color and strangeness caught Ling'er's attention. She stood up and took a look, and immediately shouted in a low voice in surprise.

And...? In other words, these butterflies did not appear accidentally, but have appeared for a while? Is this a second guess? Cinnabar's eyes changed slightly again.

Her heart suddenly fell into the ice water.

"Ling'er, have you seen these butterflies? When?" She asked with a calm side face.

But her pair of snow-white jade hands, which tightly grasped the wooden window lattice with white knuckles, revealed the truth.

"Ah... Master, have you never noticed? From the day we returned to the Prince Regent's Palace, these butterflies were already there... No, these butterflies should have been there before we returned to the Prince Regent's Palace. Ling'er

The first time I saw them was in His Highness's greenhouse garden. I had just returned to the Prince Regent's Palace at that time. Didn't you say you wanted them?

Why don't you fold some magnolia flowers to take a bath? Ling'er went to the greenhouse garden built by His Highness to pick them for you, and saw them... However, for some reason, these butterflies have escaped these days. Ling'er has been there

I've seen them in this yard many times, have you never noticed them?" Ling'er was slightly stunned and quickly told everything he knew.

At the same time, Ling'er himself was also wondering, what kind of butterflies are these, and they are not afraid of the cold?

What's even more strange is that the master himself has unreasonable doubts about what these harmless and fragile things are doing.

——Shura never imagined that the huge risk of being discovered by Zhusha would be eliminated by Ling'er's few words. This was Huangfuye's luck, but it was also Zhusha's misfortune.

Who would have known that when people from Tianhun let their precious Spirit Butterflies out every day, Ling'er would accidentally hit them and see them?

Ling'er misunderstood, and Cinnabar was in tragedy...

All of this is as if there is a hidden hand in the dark, controlling everything, making everything happen according to a specific setting...

That’s it! Zhusha suddenly understood.

It's just that he didn't show up specifically after she came back. It seemed like everything was a coincidence.

She couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and then she was shocked to realize that her back was a little wet, and she was actually breaking out in a cold sweat because of the guess she just made.

Really, why didn’t Ling’er tell me that this butterfly had already existed? I was almost scared to death...

A hint of embarrassment flashed across her eyes, Zhu Sha's expression calmed down, she smiled faintly, retracted her fingers that were tightly gripping the window lattice, Shi Shiran turned around and walked away, "Ling'er, I'll eat snacks later, I want to take a bath first

.”

"Yes, Ling'er will go and prepare immediately. Master, which kind of flower petal bath do you want to take today?"

Ling'er was still well-behaved and answered the question in an obedient manner.

"Just the same as last night."

"Yes. By the way, Master, the clan has sent a cold balm today. Do you want to try it when you take a bath?"

"Oh, this year's cold balm has been made. Well, okay, my skin just doesn't feel smooth enough recently. Let's try it."

"Yes, Master..."

The master and the servant talked softly and walked all the way to the inner room.

So they didn't see those beautiful but fragile butterflies at all. After their master and servant left, they seemed to have received some signal and flew in the same direction in unison!

That speed and the slow and graceful form are two extremes. They are so fast that they disappear outside the courtyard wall like small sharp swords!

If Zhu Sha sees this scene, everything will change drastically, and everything will end up with different results.

It's a pity that there are all kinds of miracles in this world, but there are no ifs.
