The sound of the door opening echoed through the courtyard.
"Your Highness."
When the princess saw her coming out, the dancing curtains and dancing veils bowed.
The dancing curtains and veils are quite unexpected.
Under normal circumstances, it takes a lot of time to digest an immortal elixir.
Especially the current state of His Highness.
They thought it would take at least a month for His Highness to come out.
It turned out that it was less than half a day.
Indeed, you are worthy of being Your Highness!
The sisters Wulian and Wusha saw that Her Royal Highness's skin was fairer, but their princess was still wearing a veil.
Is it possible that the elixir had no effect? Your Highness has not regained his appearance?
"Your Highness Princess, it doesn't matter." Wu Lian thought she had failed and quickly comforted her, "We have many capable people in Qi State! It just failed once. I believe you gentlemen will help your Highness Princess regain her appearance."
Qinglian shook her head: "No, in fact, my appearance has recovered."
"Then your highness the princess is still wearing a veil?" Wusha asked puzzledly.
His appearance has been restored, shouldn't he take off the veil from his face?
"I still wear a veil because of my own reasons. Thank you two sisters for caring." Qinglian thanked her, not wanting to continue this topic.
"Your Highness, please don't be so polite. Both of us sisters are the princess's maids."
Dancing the Curtain salutes in fear.
Although Wu Liang doesn't know why the princess is still wearing a veil since her appearance has been restored.
But Her Highness the Princess doesn’t want to say it, so naturally I can’t let Her Highness the Princess explain.
It's just a pity.
I also want to see the face of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
She felt that Her Highness the Princess must be very beautiful now! So beautiful that it’s unbelievable!
Qinglian said nothing more and turned back to the courtyard to clean the room.
After taking that pill, Qinglian's state reached the cave mansion state.
Because the body tempering and appearance restoration in the cave realm were carried out at the same time, the room today is very dirty and full of dirt.
But the two sisters Wu Liang and Wu Sha insisted on helping Qing Lian and were unwilling to let Qing Lian clean it herself.
Qing Lian really couldn't resist the sisters, so she had no choice but to agree.
In fact, for Qinglian, this feeling of being served by others is really strange.
Watching the two sisters Wu Liang and Wu Sha helping her, Qing Lian always felt itchy in her heart. She was not used to it and wanted to help and do something together.
But the dance curtains and veils refused to let them go.
As if this is their bottom line.
Ten days later, Zhang Zheng found Qing Lian again and said that he had found Chen Lu's whereabouts and had made various preparations. Now he could ask Qing Lian to meet Chen Lu.
However, Zhang Zhengxian said that Qing Lian could not talk to Chen Lu. At most, he could only meet once and then leave.
Qinglian agreed.
"In that case, Your Highness, let's set off. We have to hurry up. We will be back in ten days. Otherwise, over time, someone will become suspicious."
"good."
Zhang Zheng and Qing Lian left Miao territory and headed towards the ghost domain.
According to Zhang Zheng, Chen Lu had almost arrived at the Imperial Capital of the Ghost Realm, but before entering the Ghost Realm Capital, Chen Lu needed to pass through a mountain range.
Zhang Zheng would set up a stall there, and Qing Lian would be the waitress at the wine stall. When Chen Lu came over, she would buy wine for Chen Lu.
After meeting like this, he left.
As for whether Chen Lu would recognize Qing Lian, Zhang Zheng didn't know.
Zhang Zheng feels that the possibility is not that great.
Although Zhang Zheng has never seen His Highness look like after his appearance has been restored.
But the scars on His Highness's face were too extensive, and his appearance was basically ruined. Only the part above the bridge of the nose was intact.
Now that his appearance has been restored, the chance of being recognized is very low.
Zhang Zheng led Qing Lian through the void and came to a small wine stall on a mountain road.
Zhang Zheng had already spent some money to buy this wine stall.
"If nothing else happens, Mr. Chen will pass by here this afternoon, and there are no villages or shops in this area. Pedestrians usually stop for a while and have a few cups of tea and wine before leaving.
At that time, Her Royal Highness the Princess can come out as a servant.
As for what to do next, it all depends on you, Princess."
"Thank you, Uncle Zhang." Qinglian bowed.
"Your Highness, you're welcome."
Zhang Zheng turned sideways to avoid the gift.
"There is one thing that I would like to tell Her Royal Highness the Princess right now. Her Royal Highness the Princess must not thank others at will or salute to others. To a certain extent, Her Royal Highness the Princess, you are already the empress of Qi Kingdom.
You are Qi Guo, and the emperor does not need to bow to anyone."
"Qinglian knows."
"Your Highness Princess, please go and rest first. I will handle the matter here. If Mr. Chen comes, I will call Your Highness the Princess."
"good."
Ye Qinglian nodded and walked to the back of the wine stall.
Halfway up the mountain in front of the wine stall.
A man was walking on the mountain road carrying a luggage.
Chen Lu wiped his sweat and his whole body felt bad.
Originally, Chen Lu came by flying boat, and the journey was smooth and comfortable.
However, because they were close to Fengdu, the imperial capital of the ghost realm, a no-flying circle was set up within a radius of 500 miles. Everyone could only use the walking ones, and even the ghosts could only float close to the ground.
So there was no other way, Chen Lu had to rely on his feet.
It can only be said that Chen Lu is a monk and can run very fast.
Otherwise, I don’t know how long it will take to travel these five hundred miles.
But this also made Chen Lu very tired! He also finished the drinks he brought with him.
Although Chen Lu does not need to drink water or eat.
But Chen Lu still wanted to drink.
Finally, when Chen Lu climbed over this big mountain, on the way down, Chen Lu saw a wine stall.
The wine stall owner is an old man who is approaching old age.
This old man has white hair on his temples and even has a refined feeling.
This uncle has a shadow and is a human being.
In the ghost realm, there are both humans and ghosts.
Ghosts look like people, and people look like ghosts.
Moreover, most ghosts can condense into entities after coming to the ghost realm.
If you want to judge, you can only rely on the shadow, or listen to the sound of footsteps as he walks.
Perhaps it was because it was so early in the morning that pedestrians had not yet had time to rush on their way. This wine stall had just opened, so the entire wine shop was by itself.
"Uncle, bring me two jugs of your best wine, and fill this jug for me by the way."
Chen Lu shouted to this uncle.
"What kind of meat do you have here?"
"Come back, sir, we have soy sauce beef and soy sauce pork knuckle, which one do you want?" Zhang Zheng, who was wearing linen clothes, said with a smile.
"Two pounds of soy sauce beef, and two pork knuckles, wrapped in oil paper, to eat on the road." Chen Lu, who hadn't eaten for a long time, swallowed.
"Okay, here we go."
Zhang Zheng stepped forward, wiped the table with the rag on his shoulder, and poured Chen Lu a cup of tea first.
Then he turned his head and shouted to the kitchen behind the wine stall: "Stop dawdling, first serve this guest two pots of drunken rice wine and two kilograms of soy sauce beef, and do it quickly."
After shouting, Zhang Zheng turned his head and smiled angrily at Chen Lu Shijing: "My guest, please wait a moment. I will serve you the food right away."
"Yeah." Chen Lu nodded, "There's no rush."
"Hey, objectively, please sit down."
Zhang Zheng retreated, leaving Chen Lu alone to sit on the long bench.
At this time, it was drizzling outside the wine stall.
This is what the ghost land is like, it rains a lot.
In fact, when Chen Lu was in a hurry, he often didn't realize that he was walking in a ghost land.
Originally, Chen Lu thought that the ghost realm was dark and gloomy, with a heavy yin energy, graves everywhere, dead bones and the like.
But no.
Walking in the ghost land, Chen Lu even felt like he was walking in the misty Jiangnan
Looking at the drizzle outside the wine stall, the drizzle wetted the leaves, and the raindrops slid gently down from the spiky grass.
A light breeze blew by.
The breeze carries the smell of moist earth and a faint fragrance of grass.
The gentle rustle of the drizzle on the leaves is not only not noisy at all, but also somewhat pleasant.
Chen Lu even felt a little sleepy while listening.
Unknowingly, the figure of a woman once again appeared in Chen Lu's mind.
"If she hadn't left, she would have been very upset when she saw this rainy day, right? After all, she hates rainy days the most. The clothes she hangs to dry never dry."
Chen Lu couldn't help but smile when he thought of the girl who complained about the rain all day long because her clothes couldn't be dried.
I used to feel a little annoyed listening to her complaints.
Now, even if I want to listen to her complaints, it has become a luxury.
"Sir, you want the soy sauce beef and drunken flower stuffing."
And just when Chen Lu was looking at the drizzle outside the wine stall, a soft female voice came.
"Thanks."
Chen Lu came to his senses and turned his head.
And when Chen Lu's eyes fell on the woman in front of him, Chen Lu was stunned.
Chen Lu looked at the woman in front of him in shock.
The woman in front of her is wearing a white cloth face, a common cloth, and a very proud figure, but this is not the point.
"Qinglian."
Subconsciously, Chen Lu blurted out.
Listening to Chen Lu's call, Qinglian, who used her spiritual power to change her voice, was slightly startled, then raised her eyes and looked at the man in front of her.
Looking directly into these eyes, Chen Lu was even more sure!
This is Qinglian, these eyes are exactly the same as Qinglian’s!
Chen Lu subconsciously grabbed Qinglian's wrist, as if he was afraid that she would leave again.
"Hey, young master, please respect yourself, and please let go, you are hurting the little girl."
Qing Lian tried hard to free her hand from Chen Lu's big hand.
And while I was struggling non-stop.
Suddenly, Chen Lu saw the white cloth tied around his face loosened, and the white cloth covering the woman's face quietly fell.
When Chen Lu saw this woman's face, he was even more surprised and didn't know what to say.
This woman is so beautiful, so beautiful that it is beyond words.
A pair of long eyelashes are like butterfly wings.
The delicate skin is white and moist, as if you can squeeze out water with just a pinch.
Under the straight nose, the pair of cherry lips are shallow and red. When you lick them gently, you seem to want to sip the whole piece of autumn water.
Her facial features are perfect, and these perfect facial features make up this flawless face.
In Chen Lu's view, the woman in front of him was like a fairy who fell from heaven into the mortal world. She should only exist in heaven and should not be in the human world.
"Young Master, why are you arresting my daughter? Please let go quickly!
If you don’t send it away, I will report you to the official!”
Zhang Zheng ran over quickly and kept patting the back of Chen Lu's hand with a wooden board, trying to make Chen Lu let go.
"Sorry"
Chen Lu let go of the woman in front of him.
It seems that I really admitted my mistake.
The reason why the other party wears a white cloth is because his appearance is too outstanding.
In a place like this, having too outstanding appearance will cause a lot of trouble.
But Chen Lu had an idea in his mind.
That is, could the other party really be Qinglian?
It's just that Qinglian took the Moment of Rejuvenation Pill, and Qinglian returned to her original appearance.
But soon, Chen Lu gave up this idea.
This shouldn't be possible.
Qinglian is now at Qiguo's base camp, and countless pairs of eyes are staring at Qinglian. It is impossible for Qinglian to leave, let alone appear here.
Not to mention, even if Lei Yun helped him deliver the Huanyan Pill, it would definitely not be so fast for this Huanyan Pill to be handed over to Qinglian.
Moreover, Huanyan Dan is an elixir, so it takes a long time for its effects to be absorbed.
Putting all the conditions together, it is impossible for Qing Lian to appear in this place.
The time doesn't match up.
He must have admitted his mistake
"I'm so sorry."
Chen Lu stood up and apologized.
"This girl looks too much like a friend of mine. I admit my mistake and was a bit rude. Please forgive me."
“It’s okay”
Qinglian held her sore wrist, picked up the white cloth that fell on the ground, got up and ran away.
"Sir, please leave as soon as you're done."
Zhang Zheng also turned away angrily and ignored Chen Lu.
But Chen Lu saw some vigilance in his eyes.
But it's true.
Men and women are not close to each other, but if I hold someone else's daughter's wrist like that, who can not be angry?
However, Chen Lu ate slowly on purpose, wanting to take another look at that woman.
But that woman never came out again. Even if guests came one after another, it was this uncle who would pick them up.
Chen Lu knew that the other party probably wouldn't come out.
After giving some extra spiritual stones and throwing them on the table, Chen Lu took the pickled pig knuckles and left.
Chen Lu walked down the mountain step by step.
But Chen Lu's mind was filled with the appearance of that woman.
The more I think about that woman, the more I can't let go.
"no!"
The more Chen Lu thought about it, the more he realized something was definitely wrong. However, when Chen Lu rushed back to the small wine stall, there was no one there and the wine stall had been closed.
Chen Lu stood in front of this wine stall for a long time, but no one came again.
"Uncle Zhang, we can go."
Standing on the top of the mountain, Qing Lian took a deep look at Chen Lu.
"Your Highness, is this all right?" Zhang Zheng asked.
Looking at Chen Lu who had stood in front of the wine stall for a long time and finally had to leave, Qing Lian nodded:
