Qiao Xiang lowered her head and held the queen's small and beautiful feet, wiped them with water, and after they adjusted to the water temperature, she carefully placed the tender feet in her hands into the warm water.
"Tell me what's interesting."
Hearing the question from the beautiful woman who was the mother of the country, Qiao Xiang responded in a low voice:
"Empress, Du Shixuan's trip to Qianlong Island was a failure..."
"what?!"
Queen Mi couldn't believe it and even suspected that she had heard it wrong.
When she saw Qiaoxiang coming back, she was already waiting to hear the good news to comfort herself from the pain of thinking for days. How could she fail?
Qiaoxiang immediately recounted the whole story as she knew it, without missing a single word, and recited the version she had heard exactly.
Queen Mi was stunned when she heard this.
What’s happening…?
Du Shixuan was determined to get the secret under Qianlong Island, but Concubine Yin did not react at all.
But now, the sect leader's true disciple Hua Miaoyin was expelled from the mountain, Du Shixuan gained nothing, and the elder who led the team was captured halfway down the island. Even the sect leader had to go down the mountain himself for this operation.
This can fail?!
Clearly, she had become the Crown Princess of the eunuch prince in order to support the strong status of her sect, so how come she suddenly felt that most of her sect had collapsed overnight?
Shouldn't it be the most popular and unshakable?
Queen Mi pondered over one of the details. The officers and soldiers took the initiative to block the lake, but did not go down to the island to find out what was going on.
This shows that they did not learn about the abnormality there by accident, but were ordered by their superiors to seal off the place and prevent outsiders from entering.
The only person who could give orders to the governor of Ruling County was Concubine Yin. It was definitely not Concubine Yin's style to just block the place without exploring.
Considering that Prince Rong appeared at the foot of Qianlong Island first, it could only mean that Prince Rong obtained the information through his own means and used Concubine Yin to dispatch the Ruling officers and soldiers.
What on earth happened and why did they get so close?
At the beginning, Concubine Yin was extremely wary of him and even asked Princess Yu to deflower him. But now they are hanging out together?
He even trusted Concubine Yin to cooperate with Chu Bushe's actions and send troops to stop Du Shixuan's people.
The case has been solved. Concubine Yin might have left the palace to find a man.
"Qiaoxiang, where is the Sect Leader now?"
"I don't know. My master mentioned that the head of the sect said that they had discovered something about Prince Rong and were following him secretly. She is also thinking about finding a new disciple and will not return to the sect for the time being."
"I see. Is this what the Sect Master said himself?"
"Yes, the head of the sect personally gave instructions and secretly rescued the elders from the control of King Rong and others, and safely left Qianlong Island."
Hearing this, the queen breathed a sigh of relief.
The current leader of Du Shixuan is her biological sister Mi Yuexi.
Since she said herself that she had caught Chu Bushe's tracks and was investigating him personally, there was no need to worry about this matter.
Given time, once Mi Yuexi has investigated the matter thoroughly, maybe she could even help her sister in the palace.
"Following Prince Rong? So, Yuexi is in the capital now. I haven't seen her for many years. She should at least leave an informant to contact her..."
I really want to meet my sister!
No one knew what flaws she had discovered about Prince Rong, and she left without explaining the situation to her master.
......
Inside the bathhouse of the Jishi Medical Clinic, which is about to become the "Chu's Medical Clinic".
"Master Mi, you should just let go and stop holding on to it."
Chu Bu She spoke unhappily to the beautiful woman in the bath towel beside him. There was some impatience in his voice, but more of it was helplessness.
After discussing with Mi Gang and chatting for a long time, the first thing Chu Bu She did when he came back was to take a shower, otherwise he would be smelly and would not be able to rest comfortably.
Then he met the young lady who was about to take a bath, so he asked her to do him a back scrubbing service.
Although Mi Yuexi was reluctant, she still reluctantly agreed to Chu Bushe's rudeness.
But when her soft hands rubbed one of Chu Bu She's thighs from left to right, she froze in embarrassment. She held on for a long time without any movement, so Chu Bu She urged her to let go.
The dignified-looking Sect Leader Mi had a look of a righteous chivalrous woman who was feeling humiliated. She suppressed her emotions, slowly loosened her hands, and didn't know what to say.
The big white snake in Chu Bushe's arms probably couldn't stand the old woman's procrastination, so it rubbed its slender snake body on the slippery soapberry powder and immediately wrapped itself around Chu Bushe's big, thick legs.
The snake's body was flexible and its scales were slippery. She crawled around the base of her legs and scrubbed them.
"I'm soaking in the tub now. Do you want to join me or boil another bucket of water later?"
Chu Bu She stood up holding the white snake, poured a spoonful of clean water on his body, washed off the foam of soapberry powder, and prepared to soak in the bathtub.
The bathhouse in the clinic was actually just a firewood room for boiling water, not a room with a bathtub, which was a facility only available in Prince Yu's mansion.
So if you want to take a bath, you just need to boil water in a bucket and soak in it.
I don't know whether Mi Yuexi didn't want to spend time boiling another bucket of water, or whether she felt that she had already had physical intimacy with Chu Bushe and there was nothing to be afraid of.
She actually squeezed into the same bathtub with Chu Bushe, which could be considered a bath for two.
The two of them sat face to face in the bathtub. The beautiful woman with a stunning figure was soaking in the water. Her beautiful face was shrouded in a bit of worry and uneasiness. She looked at Chu Bushe warily from time to time.
But Chu Bushe just leaned his head back on the edge of the bathtub, Mi Gang's words echoing in his mind and recalling all kinds of information.
But it was just a recollection. He didn't really think about it. He couldn't calm down for the time being.
However, when Chu Bu She thought that the problem fell on Captain Li Ci, he felt that the goal was much clearer.
"Auntie, let me ask you something."
Chu Bu She still kept his head raised, and this address really made Mi Yuexi dissatisfied.
Although she is indeed more than ten years older than Chu Bushe, this only means that Chu Bushe is too young, not that she is old!
"About the Soul Gu? I've already told you almost everything. The most you can do is go to Lingyun Sword Pavilion by yourself."
"The matter of the soul poison is certainly important, but what I want to know now is about the returning team of the Western Expedition Army. The team leader was my aunt named Li Ci. Do you know anything about this?"
"..."
The returning home team was a thing of the past. If those people are still alive, they would at least be old men half buried in the ground.
She is the aunt and I am the old aunt?
Mi Yuexi was feeling depressed, but even if she expressed it, Chu Bushe would most likely ignore her.
She adjusted her mentality and said calmly:
"When I was in the Returning Team, I had not yet left the mountain and was concentrating on practicing martial arts in the sect. By the time I stepped into the martial arts world, the group of people from the Western Regions had been a thing of the past for several years. No one cared about them, and I didn't know much about them."
"Then I heard earlier that this aunt still retains her youthful appearance and has not aged at all. What do you think this is?"
This information made the beautiful lady in charge stunned. The information about eternal youth had a special meaning in this period.
It may mean a mysterious skill leading to a higher realm.
Mi Yuexi threw away all the resentment in her heart, and her expression returned to the capable and decisive look of a headmaster. She asked:
"Has he not aged in recent years, or did he not age when we met more than a decade ago?"
"Of course it's in recent years. If it was the latter, would I still ask you this?"
"...Let me think about it."
In fact, in the past ten years, there have been secret signs leading to the realm of immortals, but most of the people who are capable of obtaining the mysterious skills are old veterans in the martial arts world, and few newcomers are able to grasp such treasures.
It’s a pity that these old monsters have learned other skills and it is difficult for them to practice the mysterious skills to prolong their lives.
Therefore, when it comes to those who can maintain the same appearance for decades, Mi Yuexi is more likely to think of those hermits who have only started to practice the mysterious skills in the past ten years.
They may have practiced martial arts in a Buddhist way in their early years, without delving into kung fu. They only honed the meridians in their limbs, which was a good opportunity for them to start practicing Xuan Gong, and they could practice it without any obstacles.
But it is unlikely that the team will return home, because the people of the Western Expedition have been practicing since they joined the army.
“Apart from the unpredictable adventures, the only thing that can be thought of within the Great Zhou is the Suzaku Fierce Weapon, which is a long spear that appeared briefly during the reign of Empress Tianwu.
Afterwards, there was no trace of them anymore, and it was mostly Xuanwu, Qinglong, and Baihu who went to hunt down the rebellious Jianghu people. "
Mi Yuexi kept half of her words to herself. She knew the whereabouts of the Four Evil Guards so clearly because Du Shixuan had suffered from them in the past.
For this reason, the previous generation of Du Shixuan had summarized methods to deal with it, but they lacked the research on the vicious Suzaku soldiers because they had too little experience in fighting them.
Chu Bu She was very curious and asked again:
"What can the Suzaku fierce soldier do?"
"She doesn't age, her wounds heal very quickly, and she stays a virgin every night."
Ok?
WTF?
There is a story!
Chu Bushe asked with a helpless look on his face:
"Please emphasize the last part. How did you get this information?"
"In those years, the righteous people were dissatisfied with the Empress, and the evil people, having lost their natural enemies, began to act like demons. There was a gang of flower thieves who specialized in hunting virgins, and they were targeted by the Empress.
But the problem was that this group of people were very cautious and would only show up when they set their eyes on a virgin girl. The one who wiped out this gang alone was the first Suzaku Guard under the Empress.
Because her virginity could be restored, the Silver Thieves Gang was hard to defend against. It was not until the Suzaku Guards figured out their whereabouts that they realized they had been tricked, but it was too late.
"The Jianghu is full of tricks..."
Chu Bu She's mouth twitched with emotion.
He could probably guess what would happen to the Suzaku Guards afterwards. They disappeared after they first showed their prowess, and only three other types of fierce guards were still openly serving the empress.
But it goes without saying that the empress must have been privately pondering the magic of the Suzaku evil soldier, but it should have nothing to do with Li Ci.
The timing doesn't match, and the empress can't give the Suzaku weapon to someone else. Can't she use it herself?
"Besides the Suzaku Soldier, is there any other possibility? How about the Heavenly Demon Killing Induction?"
Mi Yuexi knew a lot about this evil skill. She shook her head decisively:
"Difficult! The Demonic Killing Attraction can certainly make a person's strength increase abnormally, but its price is like the inbreeding of cats and dogs, which often give birth to deformed offspring with missing ears and legs, and mental disorder.
This evil skill is too uncontrollable. If it can really make your appearance ageless, it would be a one in a million fluke."
Chu Bu She agreed with this statement. He nodded and remained silent. The beautiful female leader suddenly said:
"I can use my own methods to help you find out about Li Ci."
"Du Shixuan's way?"
"almost."
Mi Yuexi nodded with mixed feelings, but she didn't go back to the sect to ask for help. She didn't have the face to go back to see her master for the time being.
Her most reliable source right now is her elder sister, the Queen, who has good sources of intelligence.
It just so happened that she hadn't seen her sister for many years, and if there was a chance they could catch up.
"You're so kind? No, you want something from me, right?"
Chu Bu She looked at her in surprise, and almost thought that Sect Leader Mi was so enthusiastic that he was so tolerant of this wrongdoer.
Mi Yuexi did not keep the secret. Chu Bushe already knew her difficulties. There was nothing worth hiding. She said:
"Before my meridian injury turns into a chronic disease, lend me your skills to help me heal it. As a reward, I will help you find out about Li Ci."
Chapter 98: Connecting with the Queen
At this moment, the young lady leader’s body can no longer leave Chu Bu She.
If her injuries cannot be healed in time, they will definitely leave a chronic condition that will not only affect her future potential, but will also prevent her from recovering to her previous peak.
Just as Mi Yuexi had mentioned to Chu Bushe before, even the best elixir in the world couldn't cure her.
No matter how hard she tried to heal her wounds, the only effect she could achieve was to stop the losses!
The compromise in strength is something that Mi Yuexi, as a martial artist and the head of Du Shixuan, cannot accept.
