She didn't think that Xuanyuan Zhi's senses were so sensitive. She was only standing in the dark and leaked a trace of killing intent when Xuanyuan Zhi discovered her. After waiting for three years, she would not lose her reason the moment she saw her enemy, so she did not want to make a move today.

Xuanyuan Zhi leaped into the air, his cold eyes sweeping the surroundings, he did not feel wrong, there was definitely someone here just now. The killing intent in the air was so obvious, this person must be his enemy.

He snorted, and said unhappily when he saw the eunuch standing outside the door with the imperial edict in his hand, "Why aren't you leaving yet? Do you need This King to send you? "

The eunuch raised his head and clearly saw the fierce look in the young man's eyes. He panicked and climbed onto the carriage, afraid that he would lose his life if he was late.

Within the palace, in the royal study.

There were many memorials on the imperial desk, but the emperor's thoughts were not on it. From the eunuch who was going to pass down the decree to the roasting king, he was just waiting for the results! Back then, when he had bestowed Chu Qingyao to the roasting king, if he had accepted it, he wouldn't have dared to disobey the decree even if it were Xu Meixiang.

While his mind was still in a state of unrest, an imperial eunuch came in from outside in grief. His hand was still holding the imperial edict he had personally written. "Your Majesty … The roasting king refused to accept the decree and even chased the servant back. "

His face sank, the roasting king actually dared to disobey the decree?

With two hands pushing against the imperial report, he pulled the imperial report to the ground. The eunuch was so frightened that he didn't even dare to raise his head. He didn't even dare to avoid the imperial report as he kneeled down while trembling.

After a while, he asked, "What did he say?"

"Reporting to the Emperor, roasting king said that he already has an imperial concubine, Prince Zhi's Mansion will definitely not add anyone else." The eunuch did not try to exaggerate, but only spoke the truth.

"Didn't Chu Qingyao go missing? Where did the princess come from? " The Emperor was furious. This roasting king actually dared to give him face.

"The eunuch lowered his head in silence, afraid that the more he spoke, the angrier the Emperor would be." "Useless thing!" The emperor picked up the inkstone and threw it at him, causing him to stumble and sit down.

"Go, pass down the order to summon the roasting king into the palace."

When the eunuch left to deliver the decree, the emperor's face was still filled with rage. roasting king, today I will let you understand who exactly is in charge of what Tian Qiong says. His mother had helped him select ten women to enter the palace. After personally looking over, he only left six, and chose one of them to send to the Prince Zhi's Mansion.

Xuanyuan Zhi knew that the Emperor would not let this go so easily and quickly entered the palace.

"Chendi greets Your Majesty." After entering, he knelt on the ground to greet them.

The emperor held a pen in his hand and didn't even raise his head, clearly making it difficult for him. Suddenly, the sound of wind came from above his head. The brush that was in the emperor's hands a moment ago flew over to him now, and with a turn of his head, the pen dropped to the ground.

"roasting king, you dare to disobey the decree?" The emperor slapped the armrest.

"The Chendi already has an imperial concubine, did Imperial Brother forget that you gave Chu Qingyao to the Chendi?" Xuanyuan Zhi spoke calmly.

"But she's missing. That means the Prince Zhi's Mansion no longer has a mistress." The Emperor used Chu Qingyao's disappearance as an excuse and insisted on coming to his side.

"This King will find her. This King did not let go, so she will definitely come back." A tinge of anger appeared on Xuanyuan Zhi's forehead. Chu Qingyao, if he wanted to see her alive, he wanted to see her dead body. Furthermore, he had found the Guwu Men.

In these three years, he had scoured the entire Tian Qiong, but there had not been a single news. Fortunately, a traitor had appeared in the Atractylodes chinensis Schneid, allowing him to easily investigate Hua Ximo.

"What if we must marry Xu Meixiang to you?" The Emperor had a domineering expression.

He smiled cruelly, "The Chendi's residence is lacking a warm bed concubine. If Miss Xu agrees, I'll go back and have the butler open the back door and bring the person in."

When the Emperor heard this, his face turned ashen, and he felt that his own dignity had been greatly provoked. Not to mention that he was still a high and mighty emperor.

"roasting king, you dare to disobey the decree?" He pointed furiously at the man on the ground.

Xuanyuan Zhi's gaze was indifferent. "Chendi doesn't dare, Chendi already has an imperial concubine in his residence."

The Emperor laughed sinisterly, "Then let Xu Meixiang become lateral consort." Don't you have a Chief Consort? But lateral consort didn't.

Xuanyuan Zhi's face was filled with disdain. When she thought about that woman who had disappeared for three years, the Han family had such a huge change in expression that she still did not return, was she really that heartless?

"Then let her enter the manor in three days. The Chendi has been busy recently, so everything in the manor should go according to plan." One sentence, clearly told the emperor that he would not arrange for the lateral consort to enter the palace.

Seeing that he had given in, the Emperor did not ask anymore. As long as he had the title of lateral consort, he could just let people enter the palace. Three days later, the steward of the manor opened a side door and welcomed the young man into the manor.

Xu Meixiang already knew that the Prince Zhi's Mansion did not have any women, and the last time the Emperor sent Chu Qingyao in, she had already disappeared. I wish she were dead, but even if she wasn't, she wasn't afraid. She was confident that with her beauty, she would be able to firmly grasp roasting king's heart before she returned.

She had thought that she would be sent to Celestial Pavilion, but who would have thought that she would see an independent small courtyard. Her smile froze for a moment as she looked at the butler.

The Steward Zhao stepped forward and bowed, "lateral consort, the Prince has personally helped you choose this courtyard." He had long anticipated that Xu Meixiang would be dissatisfied, so he decided to directly bring the Duke out the moment he opened his mouth.

What else could Xu Meixiang say? "This courtyard is quiet and clean. This wangfei really likes it." The butler wanted her to say exactly what she wanted to say.

The servant girl was not very happy, "Miss, what's going on with the Prince's Mansion? Why didn't any servants come to welcome the consort after she entered the estate? "

"Xiao Lv, don't be rude." Xu Meixiang reprimanded him, but a look of praise flashed past his eyes.

Although she was just a lateral consort, she was still betrothed to the Emperor through his own mouth, so in the future, he would have to give her a jade letter.

She looked at the butler for an explanation. The butler spoke to the people outside, "Why aren't you guys coming over to see lateral consort?"

As he said that, twenty to thirty servants walked in from outside the courtyard. When they came in, they had already lined up, and all of them knelt at Xu Meixiang's feet, "This servant (servant) greets the lateral consort's Empress, the lateral consort's Ten Thousand Blessings."

Xu Meixiang raised his head with satisfaction and felt a sense of exaltation, as if she had already become the real mistress of the Duke Palace. He helped her up and said, "Rise and go back to your duties after you've dispersed."

Watching Xiao Lv walk her into the main house, the butler went to report to the prince. Xuanyuan Zhi snorted, "You really think you're a master."

The steward was stunned. 'Your Highness, you mean …'

Not long later, Qi Sha came in from the outside, "Your Highness, Qing Yi hasn't had any contact with anyone lately."

Ever since they returned from Guwu Men, Xuanyuan Zhi had been sending people to monitor Qing Yi. If Chu Qingyao had come back, she would have gone to find her.

"Continue watching. Those customers who enter the Atractylodes chinensis Schneid to buy accessories also need to pay more attention."

"I understand." Qi Sha went out.

Unparalleled Young Noble felt that it was inconvenient to stay at the inn, so he told Chu Qingyao that he had a property in the capital, so he might as well stay there.

"Thank you Unparalleled Young Noble for your good intentions, but Chu You still has important matters to attend to, why don't we part here."

"That mansion is nearby. If you live there, there won't be any inconvenience. You can leave at any time." Unparalleled Young Noble said sincerely, "On this journey, I have long since recognized you as my friend."

His eyes were clear as he looked at her naturally. Chu Qingyao wanted to reject him again, but he continued, "Although I am not from Beijing, I still have some connections here. If A You needs help, please don't be courteous to me."

With just A You, the gap between the two of them was shortened.

Chu Qingyao thought about it and decided to stay at the Unparalleled Young Noble. Only she went out every night and came back in the middle of the night. Regarding her actions, Unparalleled Young Noble never asked.

Tonight, she was dressed in black, and using a black cloth to cover her face, she hid not far away from Prince Zhi's Mansion. Recently, she had seen Xuanyuan Zhi return to the house at this time every night. The sound of the horse's hooves echoed through the empty night. She narrowed her cold eyes and leaned against the roof, focusing all of her attention on the man riding the horse.

He wore black brocade robes and rode a tall horse. His eyes were cold as he approached from afar. He was the only one left tonight, so he didn't know where he had run off to. She could see that he was taking advantage of the opportunity. He flew down from the roof like a ghost, his silver longsword glowing with a cold light in the dark. The tip of his sword was aimed at the back of his back.

Xuanyuan Zhi, I will definitely kill you personally to avenge the Han Family.

The sound of something tearing through the air still alarmed Xuanyuan Zhi. He quickly pulled out his sword and turned around to block, immediately resolving the danger that had come from behind him. At the same time, he had already jumped up from the horse's back, and his sword qi was like a rainbow as it linked together to attack.

Chu Qingyao's moves were full of hatred, every single one of them wanted nothing more than to kill him. Xuanyuan Zhi's gaze turned cold, he could already tell that the person facing him was a woman, and from her appearance, it seemed that she had deep and irreconcilable hatred for him.

"Who are you?" he asked.

Chu Qingyao did not even want to say a word to this man, the moves in her hands were even faster, but no matter how fast she was, she had only trained in martial arts for three years, how could she be a match for Xuanyuan Zhi.

She had been at a disadvantage after missing the blow, so she could only defend and had no strength to fight back. Xuanyuan Zhi's gaze was cold, his sword was releasing Spirit Qi as it pierced towards her wrist. In a moment of desperation, she had no choice but to release an arrow from her sleeve to block his attack. He let out a cold laugh as his long sword knocked away the concealed weapon that was directly approaching him.

Chu Qingyao's figure stopped and her weapon was taken away by him. She flew into the air and tried to escape, but he stabbed her in the calf and she said cruelly, "Did I let you go? "Get down."

Ah!" With a miserable scream, her body plummeted to the ground.

Xuanyuan Zhi landed on the ground first and asked in disdain, "You think you can assassinate this king with your little ability?"

Chu Qingyao's eyes were filled with rage, "Xuanyuan Zhi, you're a cruel vile character, I can't kill you while I'm alive, I won't let you off even if I become a ghost."

Xuanyuan Zhi squinted his eyes dangerously. Who exactly is this woman? In order to protect the mountains and rivers of Tian Qiong, he had covered his hands in blood and killed countless people. There were too many people who sought revenge on him and they were unable to guess her identity.

Just when he was waiting to see the miserable state the woman would be in when she fell down, a man jumped out from the shadows, held the woman by her waist, and ran away with her.

He got up and was about to give chase when he heard the shouts from behind him. "Quick, put out the fire. The Celestial Pavilion is on fire."
