Not knowing how much time had passed, Bai Zhi’er walked out from the hall.
A ruo happened to be watering the Xiangsi Tree.
Seeing this, she hurriedly gathered around: "Emperor, have you seen Your Majesty? Is Your Majesty looking well?"
Bai Zhi’er nodded: "Sister A Ruo must have been diligently guarding every day, so my mother’s complexion is rosy. I’m much more at ease."
A ruo immediately smiled joyfully.
Then, she looked around. Due to Jing Jia’s slumber, the immortal palace was enveloped in ice and snow all year round.
She sighed: "As long as Your Majesty can wake up, I’m willing to endure any hardship."
Bai Zhi’er hesitated to speak, but in the end, she said nothing.
She just nodded and smiled: "Sister A Ruo is diligent. I’m at ease leaving it to you."
"I’m preparing to return to the Mortal World. There are a few things I’d like to ask Sister A Ruo to do for me, can you?"
A ruo immediately put down the water bucket: "Of course! Just give the orders, Emperor."
"Firstly, there’s no need to go in every day to feed my mother the immortal water. I just checked, my mother’s Primordial Spirit is quite calm." freёweɓnovel.com
"Secondly, you need to guard the door. No matter what status the person coming to visit has, you must refuse them."
"Thirdly, and most importantly, do not believe anything anyone says to you." freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
After Bai Zhi’er mentioned these three points, A ruo showed a puzzled expression.
Even though she is Shitou, she sensed something amiss despite her dullness.
"Emperor, has something happened?" She scratched her head: "Why... so suddenly serious?"
Bai Zhi’er smiled sweetly: "No, I’m just casually reminding you."
A ruo followed up: "Rest assured, Emperor, I will definitely pay attention in the future. I’ve committed all your instructions to heart!"
Bai Zhi’er nodded, summoned a cloud, and then left.
Watching her figure, A ruo scratched her head, pondering on her own—
"Not to trust anyone... so, does Immortal Lord Lu Wang count?"
By the time she woke up from bed, it was already broad daylight.
However, the light seemed somewhat dim, appearing gray and murky.
Bai Zhi’er propped herself up and sat, calling Qingmei to inquire.
Qingmei smiled: "A heavy snowfall fell outside. Oh, Princess, I just heard that the second prince brought back that Miss Mu, who was struck by lightning and died!"
Bai Zhi’er’s movement of getting off the bed halted: "When did this happen?"
"On the night you fainted, a neighbor saw her running out of the house like a madwoman, screaming and claiming that there was thunder following her, as if possessed."
"Unexpectedly, when she ran into the street, thunder really started in the sky. The passersby all said that the thunder seemed to have eyes, striking directly at her!"
"Hmph, if you ask me, that Mu Xi turned the truth upside down, instigated and provoked. She deserved to be struck by lightning. It seems even the Heavens have opened their eyes!"
In her heart, Bai Zhi’er was full of doubts.
Such a coincidence?
She blocked the Heavenly Tribulation for Xiao Li, and Mu Xi was suddenly struck. Could there be some connection?
At this moment, a tall figure gradually approached the door. Qingmei turned her head and snickered, "Princess, the Marquis has arrived."
As she spoke, she discreetly excused herself, "Marquis, be well. I’ll go prepare some pastries."
Feng Fuce raised an eyebrow, giving Qingmei a brief glance.
He walked into the inner hall, still carrying the chill of the snowy day. Bai Zhi’er wanted to rush over and embrace him, but he blocked her with a palm.
"I’m cold, wait a moment before you hug me."
Unable to succeed, Bai Zhi’er stuck out her tongue: "Who said I wanted to hug you? I was just walking over, is that not okay?"
Feng Fuce chuckled.
It’s his fault; how could he expose the Little Demon Pet’s thoughts?
