She has always been generous, Yanzhi has received many rare and good things now, and Peony has received many rewards before, but now she refuses them.

"This is Duke Fu's affection for the eldest princess. How can I get involved in it?"

She declined politely.

Han Rui picked up a pair of jade bracelets with very good water quality and stuffed them into her hands: "Just this one, it matches your skin tone very well."

Then he picked out a lotus jade pendant carved from red jade and gave it to Rouge: "This is for you."

The two of them did not dare to refuse, so they thanked each other and accepted the reward.

"We're not in the palace, so we don't need to be so polite."

Mudan sat back and said, "The Duke Fu said that the Queen Mother and the Emperor are very concerned about the princess and asked the princess to return to Beijing as soon as possible."

"Well, you are tired from the journey, go and rest."

Peony bowed and left, and Yanzhi helped Han Rui into the house. At this moment, the setting sun on the window sill was still lingering and refused to leave.

It was warm in the room, and the servants had already put the contents of several large boxes into the warehouse in the yard.

Han Rui sat in front of the desk and wrote a letter. She had a plan in mind. If she did not return to Beijing, she would have to ask Duke Fu to help her in Beijing.

After writing the letter, she sealed it with wax and gave it to Qingshan. Qingshan appeared in an instant, took the letter, and disappeared in an instant.

In Shacheng in southern Xinjiang, Liu Rumei was riding through the city with Ling Xin. The horse stopped in front of a quaint house. With a whistle, the door opened immediately.

Ling Xin followed Liu Rumei in.

But he didn't expect that it was not a house at all, but a long passage with burning torches on both sides.

He observed his surroundings carefully. There were only the footsteps of a group of people in the passage. The ground was damp, and the green bricks on the ground were covered with greasy moss. It looked like it had been here for some time.

"Who are you?"

He couldn't help but ask.

These days, as Liu Rumei watched the people around her behave, he began to become more and more suspicious.

Everyone only called her master in front of him. He had been holding this question in his mind for a long time.

Liu Rumei chuckled, her laughter echoing back and forth in the dark corridor, "Master Marquis, why don't you take a guess?"

She suddenly turned around, revealing her beautiful face, which seemed like a white lotus that had fallen into the mortal world. It was beautiful but regrettable, and the smile on her face was so cold.

He immediately looked away, "Forget it if you don't say it."

"You will soon know who I am."

Liu Rumei's voice in the passage did not contain any meaning, but Ling Xin could hear a hint of sadness.

After walking for almost two quarters of an hour, there seemed to be a bright light in front of his eyes, and he silently calculated the distance.

However, when we reached the bright light, we found that it was just the light of the torch reflected on a glazed tile.

However, there were three roads here. Following Liu Rumei, he entered the middle road.

After another cup of tea, my eyes gradually became brighter.

There is a different world at the end.

What he saw in front of him amazed him.

No wonder this place is called Sand City, but he didn't see a grain of yellow sand along the way. When he came out of the passage, he realized that he was in the desert. A gust of wind blew and he couldn't open his eyes.

The entrance to the passage behind him turned out to be a big tree.

The two high mountains in front of you are both covered with yellow sand, but there is a curved green lake in front of you. From your own perspective, the lake is green and sparkles in the sunset.

Next to Bihu Lake is a mansion. Follow Liu Rumei into the moon gate and into the hall.

Liu Rumei sat directly on the high seat in the hall.

He stood in the hall and looked at the people in the two seats. There were men and women, all dressed in different clothes, very different from Dazhao.

"I see you, Your Highness the Princess..."

Everyone stood up and knelt on the ground to bow to the woman on the high seat.

Ling Xin was stunned on the spot. He already understood the identity of Xi Zuo who had been lurking beside him for eight years.

"A princess from southern Xinjiang was forced to go to Dazhao to do fine work at a young age. I guess there are many stories here, right?"

He sneered and spoke.

Liu Rumei looked at him with a smile, her eyes full of obsession and madness.

"What the Marquis said is right, so now my revenge plan has begun."

Before Ling Xin had time to react, Liu Rumei made a gesture, and someone immediately came in from the door, "Master Marquis, please."

"Master Marquis, go and rest first. I will come to accompany you as soon as I finish my work."

Liu Rumei still had a smile on her face, and her face showed the joy that she was bound to win.

Ling Xin snorted coldly, turned around and left obediently.

He has left enough clues for the secret guards along the way. He believes that they will definitely find this place. As long as someone comes, they can kill everyone and eliminate this hidden disaster for Dazhao.

Just by looking at the madness in Liu Rumei's eyes, one knew that she must have some crazy plan.

Following the leader, he was taken into the backyard. Two beautiful women stood guard at the door. They pushed the door open and invited him in. When he entered the house, the door slammed shut.

He looked at the house. It was no different from the houses in other places. It was kept fresh and clean. There seemed to be the sound of spring water behind the house.

He walked around the screen wall and saw a hidden door in front of him. When he opened the door, he saw a pool of water filled with white gas. He approached curiously. The white gas seemed to be no different from hot water. Could it be a hot spring?

He approached carefully, but felt a pain in his abdomen, and then his whole body began to twist, as if something was rushing through his body, and even began to bite his own flesh.

His whole body was curled up in pain, and he was covered in sweat. When he stretched out his hand, his hand was covered with blood. He immediately clicked on several key points around his body.

But the pain of being chewed became more and more serious, and he almost fell into the pool.

Suddenly a figure came from the sky, and then he was picked up.

When he returned to the room outside, he felt that the pain in his body had miraculously disappeared.

Sitting in front of him was an old woman with white hair, her skinny hands were as sharp as eagle talons, her old eyes were still clear, as if they were taken from someone else alive, and her face seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

"You won't be so lucky if you get closer to this pool."

She left a warning and disappeared like a gust of wind.

The figure is erratic and looks like a ghost.

Even Ling Xin, who was extremely skilled, couldn't help but admire him. He had been famous for many years and had met many masters, but he had never seen someone with such excellent light skills as this old woman. He also asked himself whether he could do it.

of.

He poured himself a cup of tea and drank it. The pain he felt just now came and disappeared suddenly. He was almost certain that the poison Liu Rumei gave him was related to the things in the pool.

The person who led the way deliberately brought him into this room, but did not say that the pool was not accessible. Was it intentional or unintentional?
