His blood poured into the water, and the water waves hit Rao Tu's embroidered shoes, leaving a faint red trace.

Rao Tu closed her eyes gently, her heart was clearly surging, but she pretended to be nonchalant, "If Princess Xunyang does something to me, how will your people protect me?"

He looked at her and said softly, "Sister Pei is still here, and Xun Yang won't do anything. Besides, Xun Yang's plan with you is clear to Shen Zhu.

Rao Tu frowned and said nothing.

He said, "Look at the blood on my back, does it turn from black to red?"

Rao Tu looked under the light of the lantern, "It's already red."

Hearing this, he took out a medicine bottle and a needle with silver thread from his arms, "Help me apply medicine."

Rao Tu was a little hesitant, he vainly for a long time, and seeing that she didn't move, he unplugged the bottle by himself, sprinkled the powder on the wound with his backhand, and then pierced the cut flesh with a fine needle between his two fingers.

Just randomly penetrated by feeling, without blinking an eye.

Rao Tu held his hand, "I'll do it." She pinched a thin needle and threaded it against the wound.

There was a smile on the corner of Xiao Yanning's mouth, and he put his hand on his knee and said slowly: "In that uninhabited mountain stream, the clothes you sewed for him are really unsightly. If I remember correctly, your embroiderer is excellent. ."

"How does the lord know?"

With clear eyes, he said, "Many years ago, I spent eight copper coins in front of a small vendor in Qingzhou to buy a purse."

Rao Tu's hand trembled, and he said leisurely, "Be serious!"

Rao Tu smiled helplessly: "So, I was targeted by the lord so early?"

He said, "Make this king look better."

"My lord, haven't you seen the wound on your back? It's irreparable." She quickly wore it a few times, sewed up the wound, and bit off the silver thread.

Xiao Yanning felt her face close, her breath sprayed onto his skin, and it was a little itchy. He smiled and said: "What? Take the initiative to flatter?"

Rao Tu said lightly: "The little girl is wrong, she should just cut the silver wire and twist the flesh together." Then she presented the embroidery needle in front of him.

Xiao Yanning did not take it, but said generously: "You put it away first, this king thinks you have served very well, and next time you will help this king sew." His tone was arrogant, and he looked at her with a look of charity.

Rao Tu's brows twitched, and with a snort, she put the embroidery needle in his hand, "Who would like to see that ugly scar?"

He suddenly held her hand, "Is it really ugly?"

Rao Tu pulled out her hand, "It's just generally ugly."

He laughed, "Let's talk, this king will probably fall in love with you."

Rao Tu saw that he put the needle in his arms at will, and reminded: "Be careful to pierce the flesh and string into the tendons."

He didn't care, got up and looked at the vast lake and sighed, "I want to chat with Shen Zhu."

"What are you talking about?"

"Talk about where I should go."

"He won't help you."

"Oh?"

Rao Tu was startled suddenly, "You...you're going to threaten him with peach blossom dew?"

He shook his head, "Don't worry, Shen Zhu is a gentleman, how can this king act like a villain?"

Rao Tu sneered, "What am I worried about, besides, the lord has done too much of the villain's behavior, what are you talking about now?"

"I will give you the antidote of the peach blossom dew. I will not interfere if you save it or not."

"Rao Tu doesn't quite understand what the lord means."

"I think I've made it clear enough."

Rao Tu shook his head and said, "I don't want the antidote, don't give it to me."

"why?"

"Do not want."

He laughed a few times, staring at her eyes to play with taste: "I really can't talk to you, otherwise this king may really be a villain."

Rao Tu's temples twitched a few times, "Your Highness, please."

Xiao Yanning made a sound of "um", and the raft rowed back to the river to bring Ratu ashore. She stood on the shore, watching a raft floating on the lake by itself, and was quickly annihilated by the fog.

She has a feeling that this country, no matter whether this person can take over or not, will have huge turmoil because of him.

In the early morning of the second day, two decrees came from the palace and landed on Shen Zhu's Huangmen Mansion.

The first decree was to promote Sheng Shen Zhu as the servant of the Ministry of Rites and the right sacrificial wine of the Imperial College.

The second decree was to seal Shen Zhuru's wife, Rao Tu, as the ruler of Liupin County, and bestow the name Wanyi.

Especially the second imperial decree caused a thousand waves in the capital. Wanyi Junjun, how can the demon girl, what virtue, what kind, and what line, can she be worthy of the word Wanyi?

Dozens of Confucian scholars from the Guozijian gathered in front of Shen Zhu's mansion, shouting that the demon girl will harm the country, she must take off her hairpin and plead guilty and get out of the capital. It is a big joke that a girl in Goulan can become a sixth-grade county prince!

Standing on the high pavilion, Shen Zhu looked at the Confucian scholars who were making troubles on the street outside the house through the window. He whispered: "The most upright is the scholar, and the most pedantic is the scholar. He is played around by people who manipulate power, but he doesn't know it."

Rao Tu looked at the vermilion seal on the golden silk edict and remained silent. Sure enough, there were conspiracies everywhere in the capital, and she wasn't so stupid that she couldn't tell whether the emperor rewarded them with sweet dates or sticks.

As the old Confucian Guozijian said, how could He De, a notorious Goulan woman, get this honor? This award from Jun Wanyi just pushed her to the forefront and made her the laughing stock of the entire capital.

Furthermore, when Pei Shi died, was afraid that the emperor would smash another will and order Shen Zhu to marry Princess Xunyang. What can she say to Mrs. Ru, who has just been named the sixth-rank Wanyi Junjun?

She didn't mind whether Shen Zhu married the princess or not, but she was just being manipulated for no reason, and she was really heartbroken.

Shen Zhu looked at her frowning brows, "Your Majesty is not targeting you."

Rao Tu gave an "um", "Of course it's not against me, it's to warn you, but it's my life."

"Since he is being targeted, there will be no escape for a while. Unless the old emperor dies and the new emperor ascends the throne." He looked at Rao Tu's expression and said slowly.

"You said that after half a year, your life is mine, so I'm not in a hurry." Rao Tu got up, gave him a little blessing, and turned to go downstairs.

"What are you going to do?"

"I couldn't stand the noise, so I went back to the dock."

"Princess Xunyang sent a few dead men."

"My lord is really considerate. Those people are here to help me, so that Rao Tu will not accidentally suffer a disaster."

"Are you really stupid or just pretending?"

She finally put the gaze she hadn't cast on his face for a long time, looking at his faintly worried expression, she smiled: "Sir, if I die, I can save you a lot of trouble. I'm just a hooker woman, Why do you have to be so pretentious?"

He walked to her side, looked down at the stubbornness on her face, and asked, "Why has the fragrance of peach blossoms on your body faded?"

She lowered her eyes, turned away without looking at him again.

In the afternoon, Rao Tu and the mountain ghost were walking in the Plum Blossomwood Forest, and the mountain ghost said: "Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter are back, Princess Xunyang has sent a few dead men here, their martial arts should not be low, if they really If I want to attack the girl, I'm afraid I can't stop it by myself."

"Where's Yang Qian?"

"Also on the island."

"With the temper of the princess, she will make sure that Pei Shi is dead first, and then do anything to me."

"Then... what does that girl mean?"

"I'm going to see her."

"Miss Pei? Why? Why go to see that damn bitch!"

"The old accounts should also be calculated clearly. She died inexplicably, and I feel uneasy. Besides, how can my life and death be placed on her? I will personally send her off. By the way, I will tell Xun Princess Yang, she wants to marry Shen Zhu, she can do everything she can, but she wants to kill me, but it is not as simple as sending a few dead men."

In the evening, Rao Tu came to Fangcui Garden with a jade vase of plum blossoms. The little girl Yinhu knew that her master had lost power, and now that Mrs. Rao was named Wanyi Junjun again, she naturally did not dare to stop her and invited her to Pei's bedroom.

Going in, there was a smell of medicine, Rao Tu placed the plum blossom bottle on the table, Pei Qingwei slowly opened her eyes, saw her figure in the haze, and said hoarsely, "Are you here?"

Rao Tu fiddled with the plum blossom branch, "Does the plum blossom look good, Madam?"

Pei Qingwei looked up at the plum blossoms on the table with difficulty. She smiled and said lightly, "Plum blossoms are cold, but they are afraid of the warmth."

"Yeah, after a few days in this warm room, the flowers will start to wither one by one. When the plum blossoms are all gone, I wonder if my sister will still be able to see them."

"You used to call me Sister Pei, but I never thought that a woman who was weak and indifferent and only knew how to cry in the dark would be as vicious as she is today."

"Yeah, I didn't expect it either. Isn't all this thanks to my sister?"

She sat down on the embroidered pier and was separated from her by a distance of ten meters. "My sister is really lucky compared to Ah Heng back then. The dozens of sticks that my elder sister gave to Ah Heng back then not only killed the child in Ah Heng's belly, but also almost killed her. Lu is still dying, and even if my sister is dying, she is still embroidering a bed in a warm pavilion."

"You don't have to be complacent...cough...even if he knows who you are, what can he do? He is destined to have no results with you in this life."

"Really? Can my sister help me out?"

"You can't ask for anything after all..."

Rao Tu sighed slightly: "I don't care about his love anymore. I can get his life at my fingertips. Please rest assured, my sister. After you die, I will definitely crush your bones into ashes, turn you into mud, and give them to Chunhua."

"Hehe, I, Pei Qingwei, only care about what happened in the past and what happened after death. It's your concern, and it has nothing to do with me." She slowly pulled out the silver hairpin, and said tearfully, "This hairpin was given to him by his mother. Mine. Xu Heng, I met Yan Bing when I was ten years old. Do you think I really met him for the first time in the dust? If it comes to this, I should have been his wife."

Rao Tu stared at the hairpin, which had grooves to hide venom. Mrs Pei sighed deeply, "I wanted to return this hairpin to him, but after waiting for a long time, he still won't come."

"He won't come."

Pei sneered, grabbed the hairpin tightly, and stabbed it hard at the heart.

Rao Tu closed her eyes, her heart suddenly became empty, Pei Shi's silent death did not bring her the slightest sense of revenge.

Dull, too dull to breathe.

She supported the wall and walked out of Fangcui Garden. The desolate sunset was exhausting its last rays.

In the jujube forest, green jujubes are tired and lovely, bending the branches.

She reached out and picked a date, bit it in her mouth, overflowing with sweet juice.

Green jujube is extremely sweet, and tears are extremely bitter.

A figure turned into the forest, and said with a clear voice: "Take your life!"

Rao Tu was standing under the jujube tree and saw Pei's girl Yinhu flying towards her with an Emei steel thorn in her hand. Rao Tu didn't move.

"Yo! Qing Gong is good!"

The mountain ghost flew lightly from an oblique direction, stepped on the waist and abdomen of Yinhu, and slammed her into the jujube tree.

Yinhu spat out a mouthful of blood, got up and held up the steel thorns and continued to press towards Rao Tu.

Five men in black came from all around, entangling the mountain ghost among them.

Rao Tu was a little surprised. She thought that Yinhu was killing her to be loyal to Pei, but now it seems that the owner of Yinhu is not Pei but Princess Xunyang.

Those dead soldiers in Xunyang would not kill her, only the little girl Yinhu would be reasonable to kill her. Even if Shen Zhu suspected it, there would be no substantive evidence.

A figure slid down from the tree and landed in front of Rao Tu, blocking a fatal thorn for her, and by the way, kicked the silver pot away.

The silver pot fell to the ground, his mouth moved slightly, it seemed that he swallowed a few mouthfuls of blood, and he raised the steel thorn at Rao Tu again.

The masked man standing in front of Rao sneered, raised his hand and twisted it in the air, used a mysterious technique to go around the wrist of the silver pot, and instantly snatched her steel thorns. Aim at Yinhu's eyebrows and shoot.

Rao Tu grabbed the man's hand and shouted, "Don't hurt her life!"

The man glanced at Rao Tu with a pair of eyes, a little surprised, he bent his fingers, and nailed the steel thorn into the heart of a dead soldier who was entangled in a mountain ghost.

The silver pot was slapped on the forehead by his palm, staggered back a few steps, hit a tree and fainted.

Outside the forest, Yang Qian came with dozens of guards. The man in black in front of Rao Tu didn't care about those guards, but looked at a Taoist robe floating farther away. There was a smile in the eyes of the man in black, he hugged Rao Tu's waist and stepped back a few steps, walked through the forest, and soon reached the north bank of the lake, jumped over the high wall, jumped over the narrow alley, and fell into another high wall.

Taoist Lu Zhiming chased after the wall, stopped, then turned around and left, but did not chase anymore.

Rao Tu was in the arms of the man in black, stretched out his hand and tore off his face towel, and said coldly, "What does the fifth prince mean?"

"I saved your life, you are so grateful to me?" he asked with a smile.

Rao Tu struggled a few times, but he hugged him even tighter, "You really don't know how to sing Bodhisattva Man?" He narrowed his eyes and said slowly.

Rao Tu was stunned for a moment, then became very annoyed, and did not dare to move at the moment, for fear that he would go wild for a while, and how could he be able to resist his strength.

This man is a lunatic!

"Any story?" she asked in a low voice.

He hehe sneered a few times, "Bodhisattva is a savage song."

Rao Tu was stunned again, "A song of murder?" She couldn't help repeating it.

Xiao Yanning didn't speak anymore, he plunged into a dark forest at a very fast speed, and walked back and forth for a few steps, only to see an inconspicuous house appear in front of him, and a faint light radiated from the window.

Like a haunted house.

He put Rao Tu down, Rao Tu looked at the small house, and then looked back at Lin Zi, "This is the Qimen Dunjia technique, why are you hiding me here?"

Xiao Yanning said with a smile: "Hide you here, you sing Bodhisattva Man every night for me, anyway, it's hidden here, even if you shout out of your throat, no one will hear it."

Rao Tu panicked slightly, and forced a smile, "You're not so boring, right?"

"This king is not boring, it's clearly fun." As he said that, he forced Rao Tu into the house.

As soon as Rao Tu stepped over the threshold, she immediately smelled a faint fragrance. She was secretly startled, turned her head and was about to run, but Xiao Yanning grabbed her.

"What are you running for? This king doesn't look like someone who Lianxiangxiyu?"

Rao Tu held her breath, even if she suffocated to death, she would not want to be drugged and humiliated by this scoundrel.

Xiao Yanning said, "Hey!" He looked at Rao up and down, and said thoughtfully, "This king has to look at it with admiration. It turns out that Lady Rao is also a first-class virtuous woman in the world."

Rao Tu glared at him fiercely, blushing and refusing to breathe.

Xiao Yanning had no choice but to threaten: "Are you looking at this king to help you relieve your anger? Alright! This king is extremely happy." He squeezed her chin and pressed close to her red lips.

Rao Tu looked at the beautiful face that was so close at hand. She couldn't move her hand. In a hurry, she raised her leg and slammed her knee, hitting him somewhere under his stomach.

Xiao Yanning groaned, bent over in pain, pointed at Rao Tu and was speechless.

Raotu turned around and ran away, the woods outside the house were dark, and there seemed to be a strange sound, reminding her of the howling of the wild wolf she heard in that mass grave many years ago. But she only hesitated for a moment, and then she ran towards the woods.

It was pitch black and no fingers were seen. She ran in one direction for an unknown amount of time, but she never ran out of the woods. There seemed to be countless flying insects in the air, buzzing, and she knew she was being surrounded. The Qimen Dunjia is extremely mysterious. If you don't know the exact location, it is easy to fall into a strange circle and never get out.

But Rao Tu felt at ease for the time being, even if he couldn't get out, Xiao Yanning couldn't catch up for a while. If she was taken back to be abused by that lunatic, she would rather never get out.

After walking for a while, she suddenly felt a tingling on the exposed skin of her neck. She reached out to touch it, and felt a thump in her heart. She did not know when a large lump appeared in her pulse.

She exclaimed, the big bag was especially soft, and there was no feeling when touched, only a slight pain at the root. In an instant, she had realized that the big bag was not on her skin at all, but something lying on her veins drinking blood.

In a hurry, she couldn't think about it, she slapped it on the thing, only to hear the sound of a blood bag splitting, her hands were sticky, and she didn't know if it was her own blood or the disgusting serum of the blood-sucking bug.

Rao Tu slowed down at this moment, and her scalp felt numb for a while, because she found that it was not only her neck, but also her arms, behind her ears, and even her chest.

She was so frightened that her legs went weak. She knew that she would cause a lot of trouble. She was not afraid of death, but she was most afraid of these bugs. At that time, in the thatched hut in the deserted village, Shen Zhu wanted to do something with her, but she disagreed, because she was really afraid of bugs on the ground, not a hard-to-play method.

Just when she was in a panic and didn't know what to do, she bumped into a wall of flesh, and a faint scent of sandalwood made her feel at ease for no reason. Two words "Aheng" were called in his ear.

Rao Tu was awakened by pain, and in the dim light of the fire, she saw Shen Zhu raised his head from her neck, and there was blood on the corner of her mouth.

She moved slightly, and he held her down and said, "There is a poisonous insect's head that you can't pull out of the flesh and blood, so I will suck it out for you."

Rao Tu's heart trembled when he said that, and now he didn't care about any grudges, and just hoped that he would quickly suck out the disgusting things.

He took several more sips, and finally smeared cold ointment on the wound when there was no black scum in the vomited blood.

Rao Tu sat up reluctantly, and when she looked down, she saw many red spots on her arms and chest, all of which had been smeared with cooling ointment. She almost cried and asked, "Is there any more?"

Shen Zhu shook his head, his face very gloomy.

Rao Tu saw that her clothes had been changed from coats to small ones, and now she was only wearing Shen Zhu's middle coat, "What is it?"

Shen Zhu drank and rinsed his mouth, but did not answer.

A gentle voice came from outside: "It's a grass tick that likes to stick its head under the skin to suck blood, and it can be forced out with saline."

It was Lu Zhiming's voice.

Shen Zhu said: "Except for the one on your neck that was smashed by you, the rest have been cleaned up."

Another voice sighed: "It really took Sir Shen a lot of effort."

Rao Tu heard that voice and wanted to stab the man to death with a sword, who else could it be, the fifth king Xiao Yanning.

Shen Zhu snorted coldly, opened the curtain and went out, "The fifth prince, Duan Duan, doesn't seem to be asking for something from Shen!"

Xiao Yanning smiled and said, "Could it be that I have to kneel down and ask for completeness, crying for my father and mother?"

"You kidnapped my person, is this what you look like to beg someone?" Shen Zhu said coldly.

Xiao Yanning sighed: "Master Shen, keep yourself clean, if not, how could you come here to meet me? Let alone meeting, it's hard to say a word, right?"

Rao Tu hated her so much that she finally knew why Xiao Yanning wanted to save her and why she wanted to find Shen Zhu for revenge. He saw that Shen Zhu had no weakness, and he had to plant a weakness in him in order to contain him.

She didn't care how Xiao Yanning designed Shen Zhu, she only hated herself being played as a pawn.

Under the dim light, she looked down at the countless red dots on her body, and then saw the pot of sake that Shen Zhu used to rinse her mouth.

Lu Zhiming asked warmly outside, "What do the five kings care about? Why don't you talk about it first and listen."

Xiao Yanning said, "I definitely can't stay in Jinling."

Shen Zhu sneered: "Since you know you will die if you stay in Jinling, if you don't pack your things, you can escape from the rivers and lakes while you are running away."

"This king will never run."

"You want too much."

"How much?" He laughed at himself, "My surname is Xiao too."

Shen Zhu said bluntly: "If you are a vassal in four places, you will definitely not have a place. You don't have to think about it. Even if the ministers die, the emperor will not agree."

Xiao Yanning responded lazily: "I know this, I want to find a place, and please ask Lord Shen to help me."

"You want the throat of Shu, Xiangyang City?"

"Sir Shen knows what I mean."

"Unless there is turmoil in the north, it is impossible."

"There will be action in the north."

"Does the fifth prince want to provoke chaos in the northern border and put the people of the northern border in the chaos of war for the sake of seeking power?" Shen Zhu's voice was slightly angry.

"I'm a cripple, how can I have that ability? The northern border will definitely be in chaos, and the envoy's departure from the capital is a signal, and it has nothing to do with me. This is just the reliable news I got."

Shen Zhu pondered for a moment, "This matter... let me think about it."

"Well, yes, Lord Shen can think about it here. By the way, I have a long talk with the beauty, so I won't bother you for now. Mr. Lu, do you want to stay?"

Of course Lu Zhiming would not stay, and walked out of the room with Xiao Yanning. For a while, the house was quiet, and Shen Zhu sat outside the curtain. Rao Tu could only see his dark figure falling on the curtain.

He is drinking.
