Pei Ruochen stared at her before taking a step back and saying, "It's too late. The empress dowager should go to bed early. This humble official shall take his leave."

His expression was cold as he turned around and left without saying a word.

Eli stomped her feet in anger. Her eyes turned to the big bronze mirror next to the hall.

In the mirror, the beauty was still the same, but she had fallen into nothingness.

Eli thought of her foolish little sister who was walking the world with the Carefree King. She had become the most respected person in Sky Dynasty, but why did she feel that she wasn't as happy as an idiot?

Ever since Eli had failed to seduce her, Pei Ruochen had become more and more distant from her.

Her Majesty and the Regent issued the order and the siege began.

It was undeniable that the mechanisms set up under Pei Ruochen were all responsive.

On the first day. A secret branch of the First Heaven Pavilion was trapped in a large mansion by the imperial government. Fifteen people were caught, and after the torture failed, those fifteen people were all killed on the street. They were bloodied and had not dried for a long time.

After that, although they were captured daily, it was not as bountiful as the first day. The counterattack from the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets was also astonishing. Every time they sent out commands, they were always assassinated in strange places less than half a month later.

Or a bed, or a brothel, or a lake, or even a teahouse.

At this moment, all the officials who had participated in the encirclement of the First Pavilion of Heaven and Earth felt themselves in danger.

Every time a blood case occurred, Pei Ruochen would personally send people to investigate and find out the ins and outs of the matter.

The deeper the investigation, the more shocked Pei Ruochen was.

It was as if the entire imperial court was filled with people from the First Heaven Pavilion.

Those officials who had been killed and the suspects they had come across were all the most ordinary craftsmen, merchants, servants of their families, or even officials of their colleagues in the imperial court. They even had to deal with that wild prostitute at the corner of the street, or the ordinary soldier guarding the gate.

They all seemed to be involved.

If one were to look at them, one would not be able to tell that they were people from the First Heaven Pavilion, ordinary and unrelated people.

Only now did Pei Ruochen understand why the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets had shocked He Lan Chun so much. Why, five years after He Lan Xue had hidden herself, He Lan Chun was still plotting against her with the intention of controlling him and taking the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets for his own use.

It was also because of this reason that the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets was able to have such great influence throughout the various countries despite rarely showing its face.

The scary thing about it was not how big it was or how capable the people were.

Instead — —

It infiltrates every level of society. The peddlers, the nobles, the brothels, the maidens, you never know. Perhaps the uncle who was smiling just a moment ago became someone else in the blink of an eye.

Pei Ruochen had never been this panicked before.

Walking on the road, he suspected every passerby.

Sitting in the audience chamber, he suspected that every officer in the hall was standing upright and upright.

Pei Ruochen started to investigate the origins and history of each person. Not only did the encirclement and annihilation not stop because they were stopped, it became more and more violent. In the end, there was an uncontrollable scene where 10,000 people had surrounded and annihilated 10 people.

Under such strong pressure, the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets finally calmed down for a while. After it had hidden itself in the market, it suddenly disappeared without a trace.

After that, Pei Ruochen refused to give up.

Every town and town was under investigation. Innocent people were being imprisoned every day, and black-hearted officials were making use of this opportunity to amass wealth, falsely accusing the big families in the territory of being the people of the First Pavilion of Heaven and Earth.

The poor families suffered even more. They would often be released at night, but tomorrow morning, they would be captured again. Because they had no money to get through, they would suffer many injustice.

This continued for a month before Pei Ruochen suddenly issued an order.

Various places reported their political achievements by capturing the number of members of the First Heaven Pavilion.

As soon as this order was given, the officials, in order to show their gratitude to Pei Ruochen, unrestrainedly accused the good people of taking more people as their honor.

For a time, the sky was in chaos.

At this time, He Lan Xue had already come to Sui Yuan with her lover.

Sui Yuan, Helian Chin's residence.

In the middle tent.

Ever since he had returned to Suiyuan, Helan Qin had maintained the military habit of living and eating on the same level as the soldiers — because they had left the imperial court, the imperial court no longer paid them. After the difficult years that they had spent together with the rest of the people, Helan Qin was now self-sufficient. When Helan Xue walked into Suiyuan, she felt that the streets were calm and the people were living in peace, as if they were in a different world from the people of the other places in the imperial court.

"It's like an independent kingdom." Seeing He Lan Qin, He Lan Xue laughed and said, "Second Brother, actually, you're quite talented in politics. In the past, you only led your troops to fight. What a pity."

"It's not a pity. I like fighting. I don't like political games." He Lan Qin laughed and patted He Lan Xue's shoulder.

The two brothers hadn't seen each other for a long time. He Lan Qin hadn't changed much from before. However, there was a hint of happiness in the corner of his eyes.

He Lan Xue looked at Feng Qi, who was standing behind He Lan Qin, and immediately understood.

With a beautiful woman by his side, he naturally should be happy.

He Lan Xue, on the other hand, was a bit thinner. While she was madly taking revenge on Pei Ruochen, He Lan Xue was also suffering.

Her eyes were still unfocused, and though she was optimistic, he could often detect the fear in her subconscious.

After painstakingly managing the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, there were some casualties this time. Furthermore, once the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets took action, Pei Ruochen would not let it go — He Lan Xue was worried that things might get out of hand.

In reality, Pei Ruochen had already made things difficult for him. It was just that at that time, He Lan Xue had already arrived at Suiyuan. As for the details, he had yet to notice them.

"A Xue, didn't you write back to calm me down? Why are you the one who can't hold it in anymore? " After settling down his follower, He Lan Qin couldn't help but ask.

"If anyone offends me, I will definitely become a prisoner." He Lan Xue replied indifferently. Her long thin eyes were so tired that they had dark circles under them. She seemed a bit depressed.

"Where's my lover?" Feng Qi had already learned about the situation of her lover through Feng Jiu's letter, so she naturally changed the topic.

"I'll let her go back to her tent to rest." When she heard the name of her lover, She Lan Xue couldn't help but smile as she said gently, "She's also tired on the way. I'll have her come see you tomorrow."

"Her eyes …" Hearing this, Feng Qi wasn't in a hurry to personally go and see. She only raised her eyebrows and asked curiously.

He Lan Xue's expression darkened. She shook her head and said, "I've visited a lot of famous doctors along the way. Even the hermit living in the deep mountains sincerely asked for it, but he still hasn't gotten any better. "They all said that there was no cure. It was a very rare liquid made from poisonous grass …" However, I won't give up. I heard that there is an ancient method where a person with great skills can see the light of day from the eyes of someone else, and their eyes will be replaced with the eyes of a person whose lover has already been destroyed, isn't that right? Isn't that how willow eyes are cured? "

"It won't work." Feng Qi shook his head. "There must be a donor of eyes in order to perform this operation. Her lover would not want other people's eyes, not to mention, who would be willing to do so? "

Just as He Lan Xue was about to answer, Feng Qi hastily stretched out her hand to stop him. "A Xue, if she wants yours, then she's not my lover. "Don't be kind and do bad things."

"Is there any other way?" He Lan Xue was silent for a while before she acknowledged Feng Qi.

Even if he was willing to give his eyes to his lover, he would be very sad when his lover found out the truth.

That was not the situation he wanted to see.

Besides, he could not afford to lose his eyes. He needed to protect his lover better. Without him, he would not be at ease if he left his lover alone.

"There's one other way." Feng Qi thought about it and suddenly smiled.

"What?" He Lan Xue's face lit up as she hurriedly asked.

"I heard Liu Suifeng say before that his master is an omnipotent person. His medical skills can almost reach the level of a living dead man's bones and flesh. If you can help me enter the Flowing Wind Garden, I will definitely make that kid, Liu Suifeng, beg his teacher to step forward and treat his teacher's eyes. " Feng Qi looked at him slyly and blinked his eyes.

He Lan Xue was about to reply, but He Lan Qin changed the topic: "Did the Chundi come with you?"

"Yes, he was reluctant to eat and refused to cooperate along the way, so Yi Jian should have arranged for him to rest." He Lan Xue replied.

He Lan Qin hesitated for a moment before saying softly, "A Xue, a few days ago, two people from Sui Yuan came."

"Who?"

"You'er and Xiu." He Lan Qin said, "You'er already ran away from home. When she left the capital, she brought Rong Xiu along with her. Do you want to see them? "

"I don't see her anymore. How is she now?"

"It's terrible. They didn't entangle themselves along the way nor did they have any guards guarding them. It was all because of You'er's ruthlessness that they were able to safely arrive at Suiyuan." He Lan Qin shook his head and said with a bit of heartache, "You'er has suffered a lot this time."

A series of sighs suddenly rang out.

In just a year, the world had changed so quickly.

Once a princess queen, but now, despondent wandering, sad.

"Let Helan Chun meet with Soo Soo once. If they are willing, find a secluded place in Sui Yuan and let them live a good life for the rest of their lives." He Lan Xue said indifferently.

He Lan Qin nodded and sent people to arrange it.

He Lan Xue didn't stay any longer. She chatted with He Lan Qin for a bit before returning to her own tent.

Inside the tent, her lover was sitting beside the bed, seriously playing with Little White.

After the two wounds, Whitey looked a little sickly, just matching his lover's rhythm. When his wife touched him, he would sweep the back of her hand with his golden tail, and the two would have a good time.

Her lover's expression was not one of distress. The afterglow shone through, illuminating her face. It was peaceful and tranquil.

With a faint smile, she gently stepped inside.

"Is Little White okay?" he asked softly, coming to her side and leaning against her.

"A Xue, you're back." The woman tilted her head to face him and gave him a clean smile.

"Do you feel any discomfort today?" He Lan Xue probed her forehead and asked with concern.

"Nope." The girl shook her head and obediently leaned on him.

"..." My love, I've found a way to cure your eyes. It won't be long before you see it. " He Lan Xue looked at her big black eyes and asked tentatively.

"Is that so? "Alright." Her lover, without the slightest doubt, smiled gaily and pulled at his arm.

Houlan looked at her smile as if she was staring at her trust.

With this level of trust, he definitely had to break into the flower garden.

He didn't want to let go of any hope.

Her dark eyes were too pure, too clean, and she had an unfathomable feeling.

He Lan Chun was still in a daze.

He had been lost in thought for a very long time.
