The villain queen's close minister

The hibiscus tree swayed gently, and a piece of hibiscus branch fell into the hands of the goddess. It carried a mysterious and ancient aura, and looked a bit like a magical treasure.

"It's hard to imagine that this sacred Fusang tree is just a branch of a real Fusang tree."

The goddess exclaimed, and then left the secret realm accompanied by a golden light.

Emperor Qingxian had been waiting outside for a long time. When he saw the branch in the goddess's hand, he finally smiled: "Mengyao, you really didn't let me down."

……

Imperial capital, Lu family.

Compared with before, Lu Chen looked more haggard, and there were even bloodshot in his eyes.

After two days of deep thought, he finally decided to take a radical approach and temporarily join Su An.

Although this path is frustrating and even very dangerous, it is the most likely path to revenge.

"Lu Chen, what's wrong with you?"

When Shi Nian Gu saw Lu Chen again, she was shocked by his appearance.

"It's okay, I've just been thinking about a problem these days." Lu Chen forced himself to cheer up, waved his hand and didn't want to say more.

"You don't take care of your body." Shi Nian Gu reprimanded him dissatisfiedly, and then looked at Lu Chen with some heartache: "You take a rest first, I'll go make you a bowl of spiritual porridge."

Although she has not yet married, she already looks like a virtuous little wife.

Lu Chen lay on the bed with his eyes closed, and a smile finally appeared on his gloomy face.

As long as Nian Gu is here, everything will be fine.

Soon a bowl of steaming spiritual porridge was served.

The spiritual porridge was warm, soft and sweet, and seemed to carry the care from Qingmei, which made Lu Chen feel relieved a little and he drank it in big gulps.

"Hey, drink slowly." Shi Nian Gu said angrily, but there was a hint of sweetness in her heart.

She hesitated for a moment and said, "There will be a lantern festival on East Street in the imperial capital the day after tomorrow. Do you want to go and see it together?"

"Okay!" Lu Chen agreed readily.

"Then we have a deal. You are not allowed to break your promise when the time comes." Shi Nian Gu waved her little fist, her tone hinting at a threat.

Lu Chen agreed immediately and patted his chest: "Even if something big happens, I will definitely go to watch the Lantern Festival with Nian Gu."

After hearing this, Shi Nian Gu left with satisfaction, but she still had some doubts in her heart.

"What on earth is Lu Chen worried about? Could it be that he is worried about Su An?"

She shook her head and didn't think much about it.

The worried Mr. Su had just returned from the palace.

He looked a little disheveled, but the smile on his face was particularly strong.

"I thought it was a surprise, but it turned out to be a birthday party for me."

"The Queen Mother is the same. She even played along with them."

As soon as he entered Taiyuan Palace, his cultivation was sealed, and then he was carried to Cining Palace by Sister Qingling.

Sister Ruoxi even said that he was lucky today and she was willing to condescend to give him a massage.

It's just that the force was quite strong, especially when Sister Ruoxi focused on his face during the massage. After the massage, Su An felt not very well at all.

Then Sister Qingling started teasing him too.

In the end, someone was so brazen as to flick a certain part of his body. It was really abominable. His cultivation was sealed at that time, and he didn't even know who did it.

Fortunately, in this world where morals are declining and people's hearts are no longer as pure as they used to be, Sister Hongshao's Xue Zi can still bring him some warmth.

The fight was really childish and interesting.

"Well, remember next time, you must never let Sister Ruoxi help you with massage again."

Tonight, Su An did not practice the Yin-Yang Dao. Instead, he lazily held Ye Lier and lay quietly all night.

【Host, happy birthday】

The sound of the small system rang out, but Su An had fallen asleep and did not hear it.

……

The next day, Lu Chen, determined, came to the outside of the Marquis' Mansion.

With a heavy heart, he knocked on the door of the marquis's mansion.

"Please inform Lord Su that Lu Chen wants to see you."

Even though he wanted to raze the mansion to the ground, he had to behave like a normal person at this moment.

Soon, he was brought to a hall by a maid. After adjusting his mood, he stood in the hall and waited, thinking about what to say next.

One hour, two hours.

Gradually, Lu Chen became anxious.

What does Su An mean? Is he trying to test him?

He came here with a different purpose, so naturally a small problem could make him worried and see danger everywhere.

However, in his previous life, he had spent decades in hiding while being hunted down, so he soon realized his problem and calmed down.

Whether it is a test or not, just wait.

But I waited until it got dark, but Su An didn't show up.

So he sat in the hall all night.

The sky brightened again, and it was already the next morning. A maid came to tell Lu Chen: "The Marquis is not at home now, and may come back later. If you don't want to wait, you can leave first."

"No need, I'll just wait here for Lord Su." Lu Chen quickly refused.

I have already waited for a day and a night, so I don’t mind waiting a little longer. Besides, this will show that I am sincere.

Upon hearing this, the maid brought some food and left.

The sky gradually darkened again, and Su An, who said he would be back soon, still hadn't come back.

Lu Chen paced back and forth in the hall, and worry arose in his heart again.

The traitor Su An is too terrifying and his personality is difficult to understand. There must be a reason why he did this. Could it be that he has begun to suspect me?

But that shouldn't be the case. If Su An had become suspicious, given his personality, he wouldn't have let himself live that long.

A bright moon rose into the sky, and the cold and lonely moonlight fell outside the hall, making this place especially quiet.

Looking at the moonlight, Lu Chen suddenly remembered something.

"I think I promised to accompany Nian Gu to watch the Lantern Festival!"

Today is the day he and Nian Gu agreed upon.

Thinking of this invitation, he stood up and was about to walk out, but halfway through he suddenly stopped.

He stood there for a long time, then finally sighed and returned to his seat.

He couldn't be careless with Su An and could only be extremely careful. What if Su An came back and he was gone? It would be a waste of time if he angered Su An in advance.

"…Forget it, Nian Gu will understand me."

Chapter 144 You Want to Be My Dog

……

Imperial East Street,

As dusk falls, the streets and alleys are more crowded than usual.

The wide and long street that stretches as far as the eye can see is lined with colorful towers of lights, some of which are hundreds of feet high, and some seem to reach straight into the sky.

Thousands of lights flicker, like a falling galaxy, filling the ground with bright light.

The east wind blows at night, and the trees are full of fireworks.

Despite the beautiful scenery, the girl had no intention of watching. She just looked around from time to time, trying to find the long-awaited figure among the crowd.

Maybe the next moment, that person will suddenly appear in front of you.

After waiting for a long time, the crowd remained and the man did not show up. It was already past the time they had agreed on.

"Is Lu Chen held back by something?" Shi Nian Gu murmured.

Her pretty face looked a little worried under the light, and did not blend in harmoniously with the bustling street scenes around her.

Perhaps she was tired of waiting, so the girl found a stone block to sit on.

His eyes were still searching among the crowd.

The Lantern Festival has officially begun. Painted boats are passing by in the nearby river, and the sounds of singing and dancing add a touch of worldly atmosphere to the scene.

A little kid on the street rushed out holding a bright lantern, and a large group of children chased after him. The sounds of their playfulness were drowned out by the warm atmosphere.

In the noisy lantern festival, the girl seemed to be the only one who seemed particularly lonely.

Lu Chen said that he would come no matter how big the problem was.

But it continued until the early morning, when the lantern festival gradually ended, but the man still hadn't appeared.

The girl's expectant eyes gradually dimmed.

In addition to the loss, there was also a bit of worry on his face, "Could something have happened to Lu Chen?"

She stood up and prepared to go back.

Suddenly, there was a clear sound of footsteps behind me.

She turned her head in surprise.

"Lu Chen you...ah, why is it you!"

Shi Nian Gu took two steps back, a look of vigilance on her face.

She remembered Lu Chen saying that this was a very dangerous person and should not be approached.

"What's wrong? Girl, you seem a little afraid of me?" Su An stood in the shadow with a gentle smile on his face.

"No, no, I should go home." Shi Nian Gu was not fooled by Su An's gentle appearance and turned around to leave.

She was not a person with a strong desire to explore, and she would not use herself to test what kind of person this person was.

Besides, Lu Chen told her not to contact this person.

However, Su An's next words made her stop.

"Lu Chen didn't come to accompany you."

"Are you thinking that something might have happened to him?"

Su An's voice this time had a hint of teasing, and his gentle appearance faded.

Shi Nian Gu turned back suddenly, eyes filled with anger, "What did you do to him?"

Thinking of Lu Chen's recent abnormality, she immediately suspected Su An.

"Hehe, I didn't touch him, he just chose not to come." Su An ignored the girl's glare and walked out of the shadows. With a dangerous light in his eyes, he slowly approached Shi Nian Gu.

"You might as well ask me what I am going to do to you." He said with a smile.

"You, what do you want to do..."

Shi Nian Gu's heart tightened and she wanted to escape, but for some reason, her body became uncontrollable and she couldn't move. She could only watch Su An approaching step by step, feeling terrified.

Su An stopped in front of Shi Nian Gu, the distance between them less than a palm.

That handsome face was completely captured in the girl's eyes, as flawless as a beautiful jade, rare in the world. His pair of pitch-black pupils were like an abyss, sucking people's minds in. The girl couldn't help but be dazed for a while, and then a deep sense of uneasiness arose in her heart.

"This is the imperial capital, don't mess around!" she said in a panic.

The Lantern Festival has ended and there are few people on the streets, but there are still monks from the Imperial City Administration patrolling.

A team of monks wearing the uniforms of the Imperial City Division happened to pass by here. The girl's eyes suddenly showed hope and she shouted for help. The sound instantly attracted the attention of the monks of the Imperial City Division.

"What are you doing?" the leading monk from the Imperial City Division shouted.
