Chapter 461 Twins from Miao Territory
Xie Mingzhu bit her lip and said, "I received news that Lai Xiao will be executed this autumn. He helped me a lot in the past, and I think..."
"Can you save his life?"
Xie Mingzhu looked up at Luo Hanfeng.
It turned out to be this.
If he wants those remnants of the previous dynasty to completely believe him, Lai Xiao must be rescued. Even if Xie Mingzhu doesn't say it, Luo Hanfeng will have to call for him.
Luo Hanfeng's lips curled slightly: "Since this is what you want, I will help you rescue him, so don't worry."
"Really?!" Xie Mingzhu exclaimed with delight.
Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Luo Hanfeng, then she buried her face in his chest.
Luo Hanfeng frowned.
Before he could say anything, Xie Mingzhu, overjoyed, stood on tiptoe and tried to kiss Luo Hanfeng.
Her eyes sparkled, and her gaze towards Luo Hanfeng was both affectionate and shy.
Just as they were about to kiss, Luo Hanfeng suddenly pulled Xie Mingzhu out of his arms and distracted her with something important: "By the way, Mingzhu, I came here today to talk to you about something."
Xie Mingzhu was stunned when she missed her target. Before she could react, she heard Luo Hanfeng's voice.
She tilted her head in confusion, looking at Luo Hanfeng: "What is it?"
Luo Hanfeng said, "The emperor has been poisoned by me, and he is currently experiencing the effects of the poison. He is panicking and has been secretly seeking out renowned doctors, but they still cannot cure his injuries."
"Then I told him about the holy son of Miao territory."
The Holy Son of Miao Jiang is the boy Xie Mingzhu rescued on a rainy night some time ago.
The boy was only twelve or thirteen years old. After being rescued by Xie Mingzhu, he fell in love with her at first sight and insisted on following her no matter what.
Xie Mingzhu didn't say anything about being liked by such a young child; she just found it amusing and took the child with her.
I only found out his identity by accidentally seeing the Gu he was raising, and that's when I realized he was the long-lost holy son of Miao territory.
Xie Mingzhu didn't agree immediately, but hesitated and said, "But Ye Tai, he..."
"His injuries haven't fully healed, and he's only a twelve or thirteen-year-old child. How could he possibly handle the emperor?"
Luo Hanfeng was no longer the indifferent and heartless person he had been just now.
He lowered his head, his light brown eyes gazing affectionately at Xie Mingzhu. He reached out and touched her cheek, his tone slightly indulgent as he said, "Silly sister, he is the holy son of Miao territory, so his Gu techniques are naturally superb."
"As for his injuries," Luo Hanfeng chuckled, "they've long since healed. They were just an excuse to stay by your side."
"Is that so?" Xie Mingzhu asked, half believing and half doubting.
She bit her lip and glanced at Luo Hanfeng.
She felt a little dissatisfied with Luo Hanfeng's indifference.
Luo Hanfeng had seen the Miao holy son's covetousness towards her. He had been appearing and disappearing mysteriously lately, and he was always getting injured at some point. But did he not care at all about Ye Tai's covetousness towards her?
Thinking this, Xie Mingzhu pursed her lips.
"Mingzhu?" Luo Hanfeng looked down at Xie Mingzhu.
Xie Mingzhu's eyes darkened, and after a long while she spoke, "In that case, I'll go and call him here."
As she spoke, Xie Mingzhu went to call Ye Tai over.
Although Ye Tai and Qi Yu are twins and look exactly alike, their temperaments are completely different.
If Qi Yu is a bit stubborn and inflexible, with a wary look in his eyes like a wolf cub poised to pounce, then Ye Tai is like a venomous snake in a ditch, with a gloomy and somber look in his eyes.
Perhaps because he spent too much time with poisonous insects, he also developed a creepy, insidious, and vicious nature.
However, all of this turns into the simple and kind-hearted child when facing Xie Mingzhu.
Ye Tai looked at Xie Mingzhu beside him, a bright smile on his face, and asked, "Sister, did you call me here for something?"
Xie Mingzhu glanced at Luo Hanfeng.
Luo Hanfeng sat there, his gaze fixed on Ye Tai.
He tapped his finger on the table and said, "You are the Holy Son of Miao territory. Miao territory is sending people everywhere to look for you. Are you aware of that?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Tai's smile gradually faded.
He gave Luo Hanfeng a sinister look. "What's it to you?"
Luo Hanfeng cut to the chase: "This prince has something he needs you to do."
Ye Tai was pampered and spoiled in Miao territory, so he wouldn't tolerate such a temper. Hearing this, he snorted coldly: "What are you? Do you think you're worthy of my help?"
After saying that, Xie Mingzhu gently tugged at Ye Tai's sleeve: "Ye Tai, don't talk to him like that."
Ye Tai's anger faltered for a moment, and because of Xie Mingzhu, he could only suppress it temporarily.
Luo Hanfeng spoke up: "Your Miao region's Gu techniques are currently very popular. Do you know of any Gu that can temporarily make someone younger, only to hasten their death afterward?"
Ye Tai chuckled: "Of course I know. I, the Holy Son, possess this kind of Gu."
"I will take you into the palace. At that time, all you need to do is cast this spell on the emperor. You won't have to do anything else."
Just as Ye Tai was about to retort, he saw Xie Mingzhu's pleading eyes: "Ye Tai, please help me, for the sake of me saving you."
Ye Tai was taken aback, then reluctantly agreed.
Being just a child, and with Xie Mingzhu offering some benefits, Ye Tai willingly agreed.
And at the same time——
"Love Poison?" Xie Xing and Hua An exclaimed in unison.
The two of them looked at Qi Yu across from them.
"Why did you make this Gu? Do you have a beloved woman in your life?" Xie Xing asked with a complicated expression.
Qi Yu blushed and became somewhat embarrassed.
He glanced shyly at Xie Xing, then turned to Shou in a voice barely audible, "Yes, yes... I... I like Miss, and I wanted to prepare this for her."
Xie Xing didn't hear clearly: "Who do you like?"
"That won't do!" Hua An heard him clearly, and his expression changed drastically. He quickly said, "Fifth Miss is going to be our Prince's Princess Consort in the future!"
"You little brat, go back to where you came from!"
Qi Yu was indignant. He slammed his hand on the table and retorted, "So what? I can be a concubine!"
Hua An's eyes widened in shock, his pupils dilating in disbelief.
He seemed to hear a sentence that distorted his worldview, and he asked, trembling and incredulous, "What are you doing?"
Qi Yu blushed and became shy, saying, "I...I'm willing to be Miss's concubine!"
Xie Xing: "..."
She gasped.
Hua An: "..."
Both of them were silent.
Having Luo Hanfeng is already a headache enough; she really doesn't want another one like Qi Yu, who wants to use a love potion on her.
Xie Xing sighed, "Stop messing around. How old are you? Do you even know what 'like' means?"
"How could I not understand?" Qi Yu retorted.
He said, "Ever since that day when Miss told me to cherish my life more, Qi Yu has secretly vowed in his heart to value Miss's life more than his own."
"The love potion I planted can make my life pay for yours, Miss."
Xie Xing: "..."
Xie Xing looked at Qi Yu with a complicated expression.
"So you didn't take in a single word I said?"
She meant to value one's own life, not hers.
Xie Xing was exhausted. She pushed Qi Yu's love potion away, saying, "Keep your life for now, I don't want it."
