In Xiling.

At this time, Zhan You had put Yang Zijin outside the imperial city to be guarded by others. Then he walked towards the palace.

He had suffered several losses from Shuo Ling. To make extra certain, he went to discuss the next thing with Lan Kuo, the Emperor of Xiling.

Lan Kuo was enjoying flowers with concubines in the garden.

"Your Majesty, look, how beautiful the flowers are!" Said one concubine, pulling Lan Kuo by the sleeve.

Another concubine also said at this time, looking at Lan Kuo with a smile, "That one is not as beautiful as this one. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

"I think so too." Lan Kuo said, holding the concubine's waist.

After listening to this, the previous concubine at one side could not help but pout. She shook Lan Kuo's sleeve and said, "Your Majesty favors elder sister. Obviously, this flower is more beautiful than that one."

"This one is beautiful, too." Lan Kuo said to the concubine with a smile, and held her into his arms.

Then the concubine was satisfied and looked at Lan Kuo with a smile.

At this time, Zhan You walked behind Lan Kuo and saluted Lan Kuo. He said, "Your Majesty."

"You leave first. Let's enjoy the flowers together next time." Seeing Zhan You come here, Lan Kuo said to the two concubines.

After hearing this, the two concubines looked at each other and then said with a smile, "Yes, I'll leave."

After they left, Lan Kuo asked Zhan You, "Did you make it?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I succeeded." Zhan You said.

Hearing this, Lan Kuo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and then asked, "Marquis Shuo..."

"When Marquis Shuo knew that the infanta had been kidnapped by us, he went to Witchcraft City." Naturally, Zhan You knew what Lan Kuo wanted to ask, so he interrupted him and replied directly.

Lan Kuo nodded and then said, "But Marquis Shuo is very cunning. I'm afraid that he will play some tricks."

"Don't worry about it, Your Majesty. The Infanta Qingcheng seems to have been poisoned. In order to save her, they helped her detoxify with the Awakening Worm. If the toxin is removed by the Awakening Worm, the Awakening Worm will threaten her life." Zhan You said to Lan Kuo.

Hearing this, Lan Kuo could not help frowning, "You mean, is there one venomous worm in her body?"

"Yes, and these Awakening Worms are Twin Worms. If I'm right, the other venomous worm should be in the body of Marquis Shuo." Zhan You nodded.

Then he said to Lan Kuo, "If the other venomous worm is in the body of Marquis Shuo, we wouldn't have to be afraid of his tricks. Because the venomous worm in Shuo Ling's body sucks his blood from his heart. After several times, his body will definitely not be as good as before. But in case of emergency, please send me some people who are good at martial arts."

"Okay, I will arrange some people to follow you." After hearing this, Lan Kuo nodded and said to Zhan You.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhan You said. Then he left.

Outside the Xiling Palace, Yang Zijin was put in a remote courtyard away from the imperial city.

Yan Hao and others guarded at the door.

Yang Zijin stayed in the room at this time. But fortunately, these people untied the rope binding her so that she could move, but her hands were still tied.

At this time, Yang Zijin saw a broken vase on one side. She went forward and put her hands on it, putting the rope on the broken part of the vase and rubbing it back and forth.

After a long time, Yang Zijin's wrist was loosened, and the rope that tied her was finally cut off. At this time, Yang Zijin could not help smiling.

At this time, Yang Zijin ran carefully to the door and looked out through the crack of the door. Judging from their clothes, they may not be the people from Dongling.

Thinking of this, Yang Zijin couldn't help frowning. Jiandu was not far from Xiling. Was it someone from Xiling who kidnapped her?

What did Shuo Ling take from these people?

Now there was also a venomous worm in his body. If what Qiao Shu said was true, maybe he would be very dangerous when Shuo Ling came to rescue her.

No, she had to find a way to escape.

Then Yang Zijin inspected the doors and windows in the house and found that they were all nailed up.

Obviously, it was impossible to escape quietly. So, Yang Zijin went to the door and patted the door hard, shouting, "Guard, guard, my stomach hurts."

"Shut up! What's the matter?" Said the guard at the door.

Yang Zijin then continued to pretend to cry, "My stomach hurts. I need to use the restroom. Ouch..."

"Commander, what should I do?" After hearing, the guard outside the door asked Yan Hao who was standing by.

Yan Hao looked at the door and said, "Let her out."

"Yes." The guard responded. He went forward and opened the door.

Yang Zijin quickly covered her stomach and came out of the house, shouting in a low voice.

Then Yang Zijin looked up and asked the guard, "Could you tell me where the washroom is?"

"Over there." After hearing, the guard pointed to one side.

After hearing this, Yang Zijin continued to cover her stomach and walked towards the direction pointed by the guard.

Unexpectedly, when she just took two steps, she heard that Yan Hao said to that guard, "Go with the infanta."

"What? Go with me? That's inappropriate for a man to follow a woman to the washroom." Hearing this, Yang Zijin turned around and said.

Then Yan Hao asked Yang Zijin, "It seems that your stomach doesn't hurt."

"It hurts. Ouch, of course it really hurts. But it's a bit inappropriate, right?" Yang Zijin said, covering her stomach.

Yan Hao couldn't help laughing. "If so, let him wait outside."

"Ah... Ouch, let's go." Yang Zijin felt speechless.

Then she turned around and followed the guard to the toilet.

At this time, Yang Zijin noticed that Yan Hao was staring at her fixedly. It seemed that she could only act according to circumstances.

"Your Highness, this is the toilet. Please go in quickly." At this moment, the guard stopped and pointed to the front, saying.

Then a gust of wind blew, and the smell made Yang Zijin feel a little sick. She nodded and said, "Ah... well, you wait here. I'll come out when I'm OK."

While saying, Yang Zijin walked towards the latrine. After entering, Yang Zijin could not help pinching her nose. It was too smelly. Although it was a latrine, there were only four walls around it. It was no different from the latrine in the open.

However, she had no time to care about these things at the moment. She found a place to stand, climbing the wall with the unversed skill.

She took a lot of effort to climb to the top of the wall, only to see that not only was the yard guarded by people, but also there were full of people outside the yard.

With her skill, there was little chance of escape.

At this time, Yang Zijin saw that Zhan You led a group of people approaching again and scattered them around the courtyard.

Yang Zijin couldn't help feeling speechless. There was no need to have so many people guarding her, right? Or were they all afraid of Shuo Ling?

Thinking of this, Yang Zijin was stunned. In Dongling, people trembled with fear on hearing of Marquis Shuo. Unexpectedly, the people in Xiling were also so afraid of him. How many things did Shuo Ling hide?

After the flood in Jiandu, Chushi Youtian didn't give much relief money, let alone repairing the dam.

However, after they left for a few days, Shuo Ling and Mo Li had the money to buy food. They even invited people to repair the dam. She knew that repairing a dam couldn't be done with a little money.

Just thinking of this, Yang Zijin heard the sound of the guard, "Your Highness, are you okay?"

Hearing his voice, Yang Zijin was shocked. She didn't hold on to the wall, so she fell off the wall heavily.

"Ouch..." Yang Zijin couldn't help shouting.

The guard outside heard the sound and asked, "Are you OK, Your Highness?"

"No problem. It's just that I've been squatting for a long time. My legs are numb. I can't stand firmly. I fell down accidentally." Yang Zijin then put her hands over the buttocks. Enduring the pain, she called out to the outside.

After hearing this, the guard asked, "Could I help you?"

"Ah... No, no, I can do it myself. I'm coming out." Holding the wall, Yang Zijin slowly stood up and limped out.

At this time, Zhan You came here. He heard the voice just now.

As soon as he walked into the yard, he saw Yang Zijin limping over.

Zhan You then asked, "What happened, Your Highness?"

"Nothing, I accidentally fell down just now." Yang Zijin stood up straight and looked at Zhan You.

Zhan You walked up to Yang Zijin with a smile, staring at her and asking, "Really? I warn you that in this yard, you'd better give up the idea of escaping as soon as possible. Even if you escape from this house, you can't escape from this yard."

Then he turned around and looked aside. His eyes were full of profound meaning, "However, you don't need to be anxious. I think it won't be long before Marquis Shuo comes to rescue you. Just wait for him. If you dare to play any tricks again, I will draw the Awakening Worm out of your body."

"Guard, bring infanta Qingcheng back to the house and tie her up." With that, Zhan You ordered others.

The soldiers on one side responded and pushed Yang Zijin into the house, binding her hands and ankles.

Yang Zijin didn't resist because she saw that the eyes of Zhan You were full of hate when he mentioned Shuo Ling, so she would save her breath.

Now it was impossible for her to escape. It seemed that the only way was to wait.

She couldn't help scolding Shuo Ling in her heart. "Shuo Ling, when did you provoke these people? What do they have to do with me?"

"And how many enemies do you have outside? Now I haven't married you. If I marry you later, will I have to worry about these things every day?" She thought.

Thinking of this, Yang Zijin felt that she had fallen into the living hell.

It was getting dark. Yang Zijin, who fell asleep unconsciously, was suddenly awakened by the roar of the horse outside the yard, so she paid attention to the situation outside.

Outside the courtyard.

Shuo Ling got off the horse and went to the door with a sword in his hand.

At this time, Zhan You said with a smile to Shuo Ling, "I didn't expect that you came so soon. It seems that you are very fond of Infanta Qingcheng."

"Where is she?" Shuo Ling didn't pay attention to Zhan You at this time, asking coldly.

Zhan You walked up to Shuo Ling and said, "Shuo Ling, don't worry. I'll return her to you in good condition."

After hearing this, Shuo Ling gave Zhan You the jar containing the seduce of the nightmare.
