Dugu Shuming's heart kept sinking .
Once you exit the Grandmaster's Mansion, there is a bustling street outside.
Outside the Grandmaster's Mansion gate, Su Ru, Zhao Changde, Xiao Meiying and Xiao Miaoxue were standing at the bottom of the steps, surrounded by ten blue-clothed guards.
"Princess!" Xiao Miaoxue came over and looked at Li Chengkong, whose eyes were tightly closed: "Why did he come out?"
"Your Highness, let me do this." Zhao Changde stepped forward to catch Li Chengkong and carried him on his back.
Dugu Shuming let him take it, and with a serious face, he took out a magic pill, touched Li Chengkong's cheek teeth with his jade finger, Li Chengkong opened his mouth, and stuffed the magic pill into his mouth.
Xiao Meiying whispered, "Princess, is he injured?"
"Dead!" Dugu Shuming said coldly: "Go back home!"
Before she left, she turned her head to take a deep look at the Grandmaster's Mansion, then rode away on her horse.
The guards led the way in front, as if they were walking on a river with water-repellent beads in their hands. They pushed through the crowd and hurried back to the princess's mansion.
Princess Qingming's Mansion is grand, spacious and magnificent, and the purple tiles sparkle in the sun, giving off an aura of wealth.
Zhao Changde quickly asked the servants of the princess's mansion to build a mourning hall in the side courtyard, and placed Li Chengkong's body in the mourning hall.
The mourning hall had just been built when the imperial edict arrived, requiring the princess not to leave the house within half a year and to stay in the princess's mansion obediently.
Dugu Shuming received the imperial edict with an expressionless face, and then stayed at home without going out.
Three days later, a huge fire broke out in the princess's mansion, and the flames illuminated the sky above the mansion red. It was said that Li Chengkong's body was cremated.
That morning, Xiao Meiying and Xiao Miaoxue came to the back garden lightly, bathed in the bright sunshine.
As soon as you step into the back garden, you can hear the continuous sound of "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh".
The two walked forward and saw Dugu Shuming swinging his sword as fast as lightning on a small martial arts training ground covered with red mud in the middle of a flower bed full of blooming flowers.
She was dressed in a white tight-fitting outfit, with white steam rising above her head. She was wrapped in a cold light, and the sound of her long sword cutting through the void continued.
The two girls walked lightly and waved to the dozen or so maids who were huddled by the woods, in a corner of a flower bed, or leaning against a rockery.
The maids, as if pardoned, hurriedly and cautiously withdrew.
Xiao Meiying and Xiao Miaoxue walked past the martial arts training ground and stepped into the winding corridor on the lake. They walked along the corridor to a waterside pavilion, unlocked the door and went in. Li Chengkong was lying on the couch with a rosy face and a lifelike look as if he was fast asleep.
This is already the sixteenth day.
"What's going on?" Xiao Miaoxue sighed.
The two of them didn't understand why they pretended to cremate Li Chengkong instead of actually cremating him.
If you don't want to be cremated, then just don't cremate it. Why pretend to be cremated to deceive others?
But Dugu Shuming refused to say a word, and only the four of them knew that Li Chengkong had not been cremated.
Therefore, the task of taking care of Li Chengkong's health has to be done by the two of them personally.
As the princess's personal maids, they are usually only responsible for serving the princess, and all other trivial matters are left to ordinary maids.
Li Chengkong is now treated like a princess.
Xiao Meiying said softly: "Didn't the princess say that she would tell us when the time comes?"
"Alas..." Xiao Miaoxue said, "He's already dead, what's the point of keeping his body?"
Xiao Meiying said: "The princess is in a bad mood, don't say anything."
The entire princess's mansion was in a state of depression and tension, which became increasingly serious, and the princess's temper became worse and worse.
If the maids or eunuchs made the slightest mistake, Dugu Shuming would behave uncharacteristically. Instead of losing his temper like before, he would just glare at them coldly.
Due to his accumulated power, this cold look was enough to frighten the maids.
Footsteps sounded, and Zhao Changde came in quietly with a silver basin in his hand, and smiled at the two of them: "Let me do it."
Xiao Meiying and Xiao Miaoxue smiled sweetly, as if relieved from a heavy burden: "Thank you, Eunuch Zhao."
They didn't want to serve Li Chengkong, it would be better if someone could do it for them.
"It's my duty." Zhao Changde smiled like a chrysanthemum.
There was water and a towel in the silver basin. He squeezed the towel dry and gently wiped Li Chengkong's face, arms, and feet.
Xiao Miaoxue smiled and said, "Eunuch Zhao is personally serving me. Even though Li Chengkong is dead, it is really an honor."
"He saved Concubine Yu, which means he saved the princess. I am willing to serve him." Zhao Changde said with a smile.
"Princess!" Xiao Meiying said softly.
The two turned their heads and saw Dugu Shuming had come in silently, staring at Li Chengkong.
She waved her hand.
"Yes." The three of them stepped back and were about to leave the pavilion.
"Guard the back garden." Dugu Shuming said coldly: "No one is allowed to approach the back garden today!"
"Yes." The three of them quietly stepped out.
"Alas..." After leaving the pavilion, the three of them sighed.
They all thought that Dugu Shuming was possessed by a demon.
But there was nothing he could do. He couldn't leave the house, couldn't relax, and was trapped in the house without being able to see Concubine Yu.
It's no wonder that the princess is irritable. Although the princess's mansion is large, it is too stuffy for the princess who is used to running to Mingyu Palace.
…
Dugu Shuming sat in front of the couch, staring at Li Chengkong's face, then touching his chest, his brows furrowed, his face becoming increasingly gloomy.
The life-saving elixir is useless, and the heart is still broken. I'm afraid that this time the fake death will turn into real death.
Yan Kuan, old thief!
She gritted her teeth, but she was helpless against Yan Kuan.
Yan Kuan is my father's absolute confidant. His words are more effective in front of my father than mine, so it is useless to complain to him.
This Yan Kuan relies on his position as the master of the Grandmaster's Mansion and doesn't take himself seriously at all, otherwise why doesn't he just turn a blind eye.
If it were any other royal brother, I'm afraid it wouldn't be like this!
No matter who sits on the throne in the future, it will never be the turn of a princess like her, so the old villain Yan Kuan is fearless, knowing that he can do nothing to him!
She took a deep breath and realized that she was wrong! She couldn't continue like this!
You still have to fight for what you need to fight for. Without power, you will still be bullied just by virtue of your status as a princess!
If he had enough power, Yan Kuan would not be so unscrupulous!
Looking at Li Chengkong's calm face, guilt gnawed at her heart like an ant.
If Li Chengkong had not been given the Nine-Turn Flying Immortal Technique, he would not have used this risky move. Even though Li Chengkong could not leave the Sect Master's Mansion, he could still survive.
"Hmm..." A soft moan interrupted her thoughts.
Li Chengkong covered his chest and slowly sat up, while opening his eyes and looking around.
"You..." She was overjoyed.
Li Chengkong covered his chest: "I am..."
"Quick!" Dugu Shuming hurriedly stuffed a magic pill into his mouth and said quickly, "The old thief Yan Kuan was afraid that you were faking your death, so he hit you in the chest. Let's see if you can be cured."
Li Chengkong nodded and practiced the Nine-Turn Flying Immortal Technique.
The elixir turned into a fragrance, flowing down the throat and directly into the heart, instantly dispelling the coldness around the body.
Dugu Shuming stared at him intently.
Watching his pale face turn rosy little by little, white steam was rising above his head, and his momentum was rising little by little.
It was as if a mountain was rising from the ground, getting higher and higher.
She breathed a long sigh of relief. She was finally alive and could not die!
I have never heard of anyone being able to survive with a broken heart, but the Nine Revolutions Flying to Immortality Technique is so magical that it can bring someone back to life even after death, let alone a broken heart.
A smile appeared on her face.
"Huh?!" Her smile froze.
Li Chengkong's face was turning pale at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it went from rosy to pale in just a few breaths.
His breath also weakened rapidly, like a towering mountain quickly sinking into the ground and disappearing without a trace.
He was completely without energy or sound.
Her delicate hands trembled as she slowly approached and stopped in front of his nose, not moving.
Her eyes quickly dimmed, Li Chengkong had already died!
