Chapter 36: Temptation

Bai Luo was frightened by this sudden situation, and she quickly leaned over to help the old woman up.

"Old man, you get up and talk first, but kneeling like this will torment me! Since someone is sick, he naturally needs to be saved, so I will go with you to take a look. ”

"Good good ......"

The old woman wiped away her tears and quickly stretched out her hand to point to the road ahead.

"I live in that Lotus Village not far ahead!"

As soon as her voice fell, she rubbed her hands together in some embarrassment, and snorted: "But you see the old woman, I am poor, and I can't give you two taels of silver, I ......."

"Old man, don't worry, I have all the commonly used medicinal materials in the car, and those are all brought out from the Valley of the Medicine King and don't cost money!

The old woman really didn't know what to say when she heard this, so she could only thank Bai Luo three times in succession.

"Old man, you are too polite, I see that your body is not very convenient, it is better to take a carriage with us, and the patient can be diagnosed and treated faster." ”

The old woman turned her head and thanked Zhao Wuwu again, and she was so excited that tears rolled in her eyes again.

"Thank you so much today, it's really a bodhisattva who has appeared, let me meet so many kind-hearted people, my old man is finally saved!"

Xin'er came over and helped the old woman into the carriage, Bai Luo followed, smiled politely at Zhao Wuwu and Shen Yan and nodded, and then got into the carriage and went away.

Obviously, the car had already gone away, and Shen Yan's heart seemed to have the crisp sound of a bell in his heart, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"People are beautiful and kind-hearted, this is the gap!"

He sighed to himself, and when he turned around, he found that Zhao Wuwu and Shen Cong'an had already gone a long way, and hurriedly accelerated to catch up.

In the courtyard of Chuxiu Palace, the flowers are in full bloom, and occasionally butterflies fly up after staying in the delicate flowers.

It was almost noon, and the sun was scorching.

However, no one was upset by the scorching sun, and now dozens of girls waiting for the draft were standing in this courtyard, waiting for the emperor's personal selection.

But all the girls who have a little posture can't wait to raise their heads higher than the sky, where they are afraid of any sunshine as usual, but they are afraid that if their heads are lowered a little, it will be difficult for the emperor to see their beautiful posture.

However, Li Yunxiao's attention was focused on a woman, different from those who wore flowery warblers and Yanyan, she was wearing an extremely elegant plain Luo skirt, and she was still standing in the most inconspicuous corner of the last row.

He has always hated the flattery of others, and always felt that these women were all meticulous works sent by those officials in the court.

Although this Shangguan family is no exception, but others are holding their heads high, she lowers her eyebrows for fear of being seen by others.

Li Yunxiao stepped forward and stared at Shangguan Xi through the crowd.

This appearance is also a bit of a posture, but he only feels that this appearance is a little familiar, and the more he looks at it, the more he feels like he has seen it somewhere, but after recalling it carefully, he can't remember anything.

And Shangguan Xi, who was standing behind, could obviously feel the burning gaze thrown at her, and her palms were dyed with a thin layer of fine sweat due to excessive tension.

"That's it. ”

As soon as Li Yunxiao's voice fell, he heard Zhou Gonggong, the commander of Chuxiu Palace, pick up the sign in front of him and shout: "The daughter of the servant of the Ministry of Officials - Shangguan Ran!"

Shangguan Xi's heart sank when he heard this name, obviously as long as he persisted until tonight, but at this time......

After Gonggong Zhou smiled and leaned over to watch Li Yunxiao leave, he turned around and asked someone to take the Shangguan dyed brand, and a few palace maids took her away.

All the show girls standing on the side looked at Shangguan Xi's distant back with envious eyes, and they rushed to Gonggong Zhou and scrambled to ask.

"Father-in-law Zhou, why didn't the emperor come for a long time, and he didn't give us a reward when he came, but only picked one person to go?"

"Father-in-law Zhou, will the emperor come tomorrow?"

"Grandpa Zhou, when will we be chosen, won't we just die alone here?"

Everyone surrounded Zhou Gonggong one after another, and only a few women stood on the side and watched coldly.

Either they disdained such unruly inquiries, or they had other plans in their hearts, and some of them just looked at Shangguan Xi who was far away, and their anger rose from the bottom of their hearts.

This person is Lin Jiuge, the daughter of Lin Yuan, the prime minister of the left, she grabbed the very delicate flowers that bloomed on the side, threw them to the ground and trampled them with her feet.

She looked at the corner of the Hongwen Hall in the distance, her eyes widened, she gritted her teeth and said: "No one can walk in front of me, wait for me, I will take everything that belongs to me sooner or later!"

This whole day was extraordinarily long for Shangguan Xi, she was served to bathe and change clothes all the way down, and she was soaked from head to toe in the fragrant pool water.

She had already thought about it, if this dog emperor dared to do anything wrong to her, she would use the hairpin hidden under the pillow to pierce his chest.

She sat on the edge of the bed and didn't hear movement outside until she was near.

Li Yunxiao walked in and sent all the palace maids to the bed alone.

Shangguan Xi sat there quietly at this time, lowering his eyebrows and pretending to be shy, and anyone who saw it couldn't help but be moved.

He slowly approached and sat beside her, his hands gradually caressing her face.

The next second, a dagger stretched out from his hand and pressed it against her neck.

Li Yunxiao's previous eyes full of evil suddenly disappeared, and even his voice began to become cold.

"Tell me, did the Shangguan family send you?"

However, the direction in which he was sitting happened to block the pillow on the bed, Shangguan Xi lowered his eyes and acted innocent, and his body shrank back.

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about, little girl...... I don't understand. ”

The dagger that Li Yunxiao was holding quickly caught up, and the strength was unconsciously tightened by three points, and the sharp knife edge instantly added a trace of red marks to her snow-white skin.

He ripped off her undershirt and lifted her hair to look sideways.

Unexpectedly, there were no knife marks on the back, only the white and flawless skin, which looked seductive in the dim light.

It was just an ordinary temptation, but there was neither murderous intent nor fear in her eyes.

This is not the courage that an ordinary woman should have, but an ordinary person would have been scared to cry when she encountered this situation.
