Big Boss Block paced in circles on the table “Lots of people died!”
Ning Xiaoyao drank her soup in Supreme Splendor Hall Despite the distance fro in the air Heaven knoXiaoyao thought to herself I shouted myself hoarse and told them to stop, but nobody paid any attention to edy like this?
Big Boss Black perched on the tabletop and said, “Fortunately, you’re alright, Xiaoyao”
“I got stabbed too, ah,” Ning Xiaoyao said “But the Grand Preceptor got off scot-free, so annoying!”
“Then,” Big Boss Black’s eyes spun in his sockets “Shall we go beat him up?”
Ning Xiaoyao replied, “If I can’t beat hiy in the first place?”
Big Boss Black fell silent Meanwhile, Shadowbolt arrived outside the roo Xiaoyao simply waved hion Guards announced, “Your Majesty, the old madame from the Xie Clan’s passed away from illness”
The e Xiaoyao’s hands as she stared at him, dumbfounded “Whaa? Old Madao, she had a chance to see the old madame up and about, and she looked perfectly healthy But only a few days later, she’d sickened and died?
“That’s right, ah, Your Majesty,” Shadowbolt replied “Grand Preceptor’s already left the palace for his estate I’ve heard that they’ve hung up white strea there, too”
Ning Xiaoyao didn’t believe it “For real?”
Ever since co had been at odds with Grand Preceptor Xie Now her suspicions against the old rew She couldn’t accept that Old Madame Xie had died of natural causes Was this another part of Grand Preceptor Xie’s schemes?
Shadowbolt was jolted into suspicions as well “Would the Grand Preceptor even curse his own mother?” Old Madame Xie ell advanced in years If Grand Preceptor Xie had tried to fake his death, wouldn’t that be cursing years from her life in the first place?
“I think he would,” Ning Xiaoyao nodded Faeezer!
At this ui knocked on the open door as he stood outside Ning Xiaoyao waved him in as she said, “Supreme Commander, did you hear about Old Madame Xie?”
Lou Zigui had Shadowbolt withdraw beforeXiaoyao’s side “I have I heard Old Madame Xie died”
“For real?” Ning Xiaoyao asked
“For real,” Lou Zigui bent doanting to check Ning Xiaoyao’s injury again
“Did she really die fro Xiaoyao asked
Lou Zigui’s hand shook in theXiaoyao’s injury “Only the Xie Clan knows for sure”
Ning Xiaoyao slapped the table “Then there’s no need to ask, that old madame’s definitely not dead”
“Why do you say that?” Lou Zigui asked
“I only saw that old wo Xiaoyao explained, “There’s no way she’d be able to hide any signs of illness froet? That day, she even wanted me to marry that little beauty”
Supreet that
“Aiya,” Ning Xiaoyao sighed with feeling “Grand Preceptor Xie, that heartless jerk What’s the use of forcing the old woman to play dead?”
“Does your injury still hurt?” Lou Zigui asked
“Who cares about that now?” Ning Xiaoyao waved her hands “Supre ht?”
“The old madaui said in a low voice
“Ah?” Ning Xiaoyao intoned
“With Old Mada rites for three years as the eldest son,” Lou Zigui explained
“What areXiaoyao asked
“That’s when an official quits his post to keep watch over the old ui believed that Miss Ning would definitely understand if he explained it like that
As expected, Ning Xiaoyao got it ihted “In other words, I don’t have to see Grand Preceptor Xie for three years?” Although she knew this wasn’t being fair to Old Mada into a smile
Lou Zigui shook his head Ning Xiaoyao’s smile stiffened before she stared at him
“The Xie Clan is a public entity in the capital city,” Lou Zigui said, “Xie Wenyuan doesn’t need to leave the capital Moreover, even if he’s not at court, his clansmen and various disciples can act as his eyes and ears to do his bidding”
Ning Xiaoyao deflated like a balloon, clutching her head after a simple ‘oh’
“But tasks done by his hench the job,” Lou Zigui lifted Ning Xiaoyao by the chin “Moreover, he’s required to decline all visitors,his job more difficult”
Ning Xiaoyao blinked a few ti out, “Then Supreme Commander, when your father and elder brother were killed on the battlefield before, did you–did you mourn for three years at home, too?”
Lou Zigui shook his head “Military officers only need to observe a 100-dayperiod I didn’t even spend 10 days at hoht to mourn and reinstated me on pretense of military duties”
Ning Xiaoyao scratched her pal if she’d sound like an idiot if she always told Lou Zigui she didn’t understand what he was talking about
“Back then, the battles hadn’t stopped After my father and brothers died, the Black Frost Cavalry was like a host of dragons without a head,” Lou Zigui said as he lowered his voice “So I couldn’t stay at ho It’s natural and norht to do so ”
Ning Xiaoyao nodded in understanding All of it sounded very sad
“Does your wound still hurt?” Lou Zigui changed the topic back to her again
“Not any Xiaoyao said “I’m a doctor, ah”
