"Senior sister, do you know what business Her Highness the Princess has with me?"
Following Huang Sisi, Ye Qing has become very accustomed to his identity, and his every word and deed reveals one word...coward.
However, there is nothing that can be done. At this stage, even if Ye Qing fights to the death, he cannot be Huang Sisi's opponent. If he accepts his fate, Ye Qing has no choice.
"How do I know? I'm not familiar with her? No! I'm not familiar with the entire royal family of the Qingfeng Empire!"
Huang Sisi snorted angrily, and just as Ye Qing was about to ask, she pinched the flesh around his waist and twisted it hard, and said fiercely: "Don't ask me about the royal family of the Qingfeng Empire in the future! Do you hear me?"
"I understand, senior sister."
Ye Qing hurriedly returned to the imperial capital with doubts. He originally wanted to tell Mo Yao, but thinking that he might have to leave at any time, he could only give up the idea.
"Senior sister, I want to go back to the Alchemy Guild, do you want to come with me?"
"I'm not going! I finally managed to sneak out, and of course I want to have a good meal! Oh, by the way, I'll lend you some money from my senior sister and I'll pay you back later."
"Will you really pay it back?"
Ye Qing muttered a few words, and after seeing Huang Sisi's increasingly dangerous expression, he decisively took out the money.
"Junior brother, you are so good! I will pick you up tomorrow morning!"
With the help of Farewell Phoenix Sisi, Ye Qing returned all the way to the Alchemy Guild, but before he had gone very far, he bumped into a masked man in black. Looking at the hideous wound on his abdomen and the simple knife in his hand, Ye Qing frowned.
frowned.
"Get away!"
The man threatened fiercely and swung the simple knife in his hand towards Ye Qing. However, facing this overwhelming attack, Ye Qing froze on the spot until the cold blade was less than an inch away from Ye Qing's neck.
He quickly reached out his hand and firmly grasped the blade of the simple knife.
"How many heads do you need to kill someone in the imperial capital?"
"court death!"
The thief couldn't break free from the Pu Dao, so he suddenly felt nervous, took out more than ten willow-leaf flying knives from his waist and threw them at Ye Qing. At the same time, he threw out three talismans, and three streams of light shot at Ye Qing from different directions!
"town!"
Almost in an instant, the magic circle of the Human Emperor's Seal enveloped the two of them, and those flying willow leaves and flying knives seemed to be trapped in a quagmire, unable to move under the pressure of the Human Emperor's Seal!
Noticing the belated arrival of the Imperial Guards not far away, Ye Qing pointed out, and the glazed pure spiritual fire spurted out, melting the willow leaf flying knife into a pool of molten iron. He immediately put away the Human Emperor's Seal. It seemed like a light attack, but it was
After blasting the thief away and smashing a shop, he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
Seeing this situation, the imperial guards would naturally not let Ye Qing go, but soon the captain recognized him as the person who caused the commotion in Shenwu Academy some time ago, so he restrained his men and quickly came to Ye Qing's place.
before.
"Thanks for the help."
"With a little effort, is Her Royal Highness the Princess in the Alchemy Guild?"
"That's right, Her Royal Highness the Princess is waiting for you at the Alchemy Guild."
Looking at the thief arrested by the Imperial Guards, Ye Qing wondered: "What's going on?"
The captain of the Imperial Guard did not want to tell Ye Qing the truth at first, but when he thought that Ye Qing and Her Highness the Princess seemed to have a good personal relationship, he decided not to hide it.
"Suppose this thief went on a rampage in the imperial capital and tried to assassinate Her Royal Highness the Princess. After the attempt failed, he escaped under the cover of his accomplices. If you hadn't taken action, it would have been difficult to catch him."
"Assassinating the princess?"
Ye Qing narrowed his eyes and detected a hint of conspiracy.
After all, this matter was not Ye Qing's responsibility. After chatting with the captain of the Imperial Guard for a while, he rushed back to the Alchemy Guild.
As soon as he entered the door, Ye Qing saw Qin Mengxue sitting on a chair with a frosty face, and couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth.
"Your Highness Princess, are you looking for me?"
"How was your practice in Zhaixing Pavilion?"
Qin Mengxue looked Ye Qing up and down and found that there was no obvious change. She couldn't help but sneered and said: "It seems that the Star Reaching Pavilion is nothing more than that."
"There are still merits."
Ye Qing walked quickly towards Qin Mengxue, stretched out his hand to touch Qin Mengxue's cheek. At first, Qin Mengxue blushed at Ye Qing's bold move, but her heart skipped a beat when Ye Qing's hand was less than an inch away from her.
, the body moved subconsciously.
Of course, Ye Qing did not take action at the critical moment. He took a few steps back and said with a smile: "How is it?"
"Hey, that's all."
Qin Mengxue turned her head away, unable to conceal the shock in her eyes.
It is no exaggeration to say that even she may not be able to put down the attack that Ye Qing just made unscathed. How long has it been since then? It has only been a month!
From a monk in the acquired realm to one who can compete head-on with a strong master in the master realm?
"I came to you today for another matter. You have to come with me to the palace tomorrow."
"Into the palace? Into the palace?" Ye Qing frowned and asked slightly confused: "What's the matter?"
"Yesterday, my father learned from the head of the Ouyang family that your alchemy skills far surpassed Zhang Taishan's, but Concubine Qing was unwell today, so he asked me to ask you to make elixirs for Concubine Qing to cure her illness."
"This...can I refuse?"
Ye Qing really didn't want to get involved in the palace affairs. With so many imperial doctors in the palace, why did he still need a wild fox like himself?
Besides, Master clearly told Ye Qing to return to the sect before noon tomorrow, and Ye Qing didn't want to get into trouble.
"Don't worry, I'm just refining a seventh-grade elixir. It won't be too difficult for you. Besides, the reward is generous and I won't treat you badly."
"Where is the imperial doctor? Looking at the entire imperial capital, I am not the only one who can refine seventh-grade pills, right? Why do we have to find..."
Before Ye Qing could finish speaking, Qin Mengxue impatiently punched Ye Qing, but it was not forceful, and it was still more of a coquettish tone.
"I'm just asking you for a favor, why are you talking so much? Will you help me or not?"
"You come to me in person, how can I refuse?"
Hearing this, Qin Mengxue blushed and lowered her voice: "Keep your voice down!"
"But you have to give me a reason, right? What else is going on here?"
"I know I can't hide it from you. Everything is inside. Remember, don't let the second person see it."
Qin Mengxue said, taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, she quickly stuffed a jade talisman into Ye Qing's palm, and then coughed twice to cover up her embarrassment.
"In this case, I will rest at the Alchemy Guild today and return to the palace early tomorrow morning."
"Your Highness, walk slowly."
Ye Qing lowered his head, stamped his feet calmly, then turned around, grabbed Zhang Taishan outside the door, and asked: "Uncle Zhang, do you know about the assassination of the princess?"
"My dear nephew, do you think I will know about it? When I think about this, I am still scared. If something happens to the princess at the Alchemy Guild, how can I afford it?"
"Okay, Uncle Zhang, you don't have to worry about this matter, I will take care of it."
