Yue Li had a tired look on her face and was covering her face while yawning. She just stepped over the threshold and raised her eyes to see Bai Ying, dressed in white, sitting in front of the stone table in the courtyard, looking at her with a complicated expression on her face. This yawn

Halfway through the beating, Shengsheng was forced to swallow by these eyes, but he still had to pretend to be nonchalant and stepped forward: "So early?"

"Going out? Didn't come back all night!"

She felt guilty and didn't dare to look into those eyes. She could only lower her head and pinch her neck, looking at him: "I just turned sixteen yesterday, but I didn't come home all night. Is it worth treating him as a rare thing?" When she lowered her head, she saw Shi Shi.

On the table was a set of dresses, rouge and gouache, and a set of silver tassel headdress. Just by looking at it, one could tell it was expensive, so he stretched out his hand to explore it.

"I have prepared a birthday gift for you, but I have been very busy these days."

Yue Li nodded: "Excuse me for your trouble. So you are waiting for me?" As she said that, she stretched out her hand to shake off the moon-white dress. The floor-length robe was made of silver thread and tapestry, which was faintly reflected in the bright place.

nice one!

Hearing this, Bai Ying turned his face away from her and stopped looking at her, with a slight nasal sound in his nose: "No, I just woke up early today." After saying that, he got up and left.

Yue Li raised her head, watched the figure disappear from sight, and fell into deep thought. Something seemed to flash through her mind, and she wanted to catch it but couldn't.

The maid came out of the side room and said, "Girl, the young master sat in the courtyard waiting for you all night last night."

Yue Li came back to her senses, lowered her head and looked at the dress in her hand, with a sudden realization on her face, but also it was true: "Really?"

"Not only last night, every time you go out, the young master will sit in the Li Feng Hall. The slaves advise him to go back and rest. He always says that he is afraid that no one will answer you when you hand over the task."

She smiled coquettishly: "He understands me!" After that, the maid said something else, but she didn't hear a word.

Yue Li slowly raised her head and looked at the maid's mouth moving, but she seemed to see that white figure, sitting alone in the courtyard waiting. It is more or less clear how many affairs Li Fengtang has, and whether he needs to stay up all night with a candle in his hand.

.

Think about it carefully, every time you come back to hand in a task, the first person you see will always be him.

She put the robe on her arms, entered the room and closed the door alone with a sad expression. Finally, she fell on the bed, carefully hugged the robe, slowly closed her eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

Between them, that embrace was the only time he transgressed.

Not long ago, Yue Li went to Dongliu under the "Edict of Yama" to protect the Emperor Ji of Dongliu. Even though she kept urging her horse forward day and night, it was only half a month less than the original one-month journey.

The country of Dongliu Woman is an extremely cold place with snow all year round. The leader of Dongliu Kingdom spent three months inquiring about the ghost gate. It was not until a month ago that he received the edict of Yama to protect the ghost gate.

Her daughter died. Just half a month ago, the leader of Dongliu Kingdom died.

The little Emperor Ji, who is only ten years old, is the orthodox emperor, but in the treacherous court, there is still a figure who covers the sky with one hand.

In the Bixiao Palace, there was a "pop" sound, and then the cry of a girl came.

Yue Li's left foot landed on the ground, and the white palace skirt brushed across the threshold, bypassing the sharp shards of porcelain at her feet, and quickly stepped into the palace: "Yue Li of the Ghost Gate, I have seen the Emperor Ji." He said, holding up a piece of black iron.

, the token is half the size of a palm, with the dark green word "Edict" in the middle, which is quite eye-catching.

Ten steps away, the little girl with a slightly immature appearance stopped crying, with tears still hanging on her face. She was the Empress of Dongliu Kingdom.

The Lord of Dongliu Kingdom had a son and a daughter. The prince died young and the only princess was only ten years old.

Soon, a maid next to Di Ji came up and whispered in a low voice. Di Ji suddenly understood what she heard and looked at Yue Li again: "Bring it quickly!"

The maid went and came back, took out another token and handed it over.

Yue Li put the two tokens together, and the token made a "click" sound, and a bamboo mailbox the size of a knuckle fell out. When she opened it and glanced at it, "The orders have been combined. Yue Li has been ordered to start three days from today."

Within a month, Bao Diji will be safe and sound." As he spoke, he stuffed the token into his waist.

"Yue Li! You are so brave. I have heard that the Ghost Sect can only take back the token after the mission is over. How dare you take it back without authorization before the deadline of three months?"

There are two Yama Edicts. One order is held by the client and the killer respectively. Each Yama Edict has a special internal structure and must be completely matched between the killer token and the client. After the deed is completed, the other half of the token is brought back to the ghost gate to complete the task.

Considered complete.

"Emperor Ji, you can rest assured. From the moment I step into Bixiao Palace, my mission has been accomplished."

"What a loud tone! Do you know how many people want to kill me?"

Yue Li put her hands behind her back and nodded: "Of course!" As soon as she finished speaking, there was the sound of three heavy objects falling to the ground one after another outside the hall.

Di Ji: "What's the noise?"

At this moment, a scream came from the palace maid guarding outside the palace door.

Di Ji frowned and walked out of the palace: "How impudent! How inappropriate is it to yell and scream..." After finishing speaking, Di Ji met the maid who fell in front of the palace door, with blood dripping from her mouth and nose.

He immediately looked at Yue Li with a horrified look on his face, "What did you do?"

"Didn't Di Ji ask just now how many people want to kill you? Yue Li naturally has to let Di Ji see the ghost sect's abilities."

"What evidence do you have?"

"If Di Ji doesn't believe it, you can search her body."

Hearing this, a eunuch stepped forward and groped each of the three palace maids who fell to the ground for a while. Finally, he found a small bag of folded items from one of them's waist, and quickly handed it to the emperor.

Di Ji hesitated for a moment and subconsciously stretched out her hand.

"Wait a minute!" Yue Li turned around and walked behind her, taking the thing first and opening it, then picked up the eunuch's back collar.

The eunuch was suddenly frightened, and just when he opened his mouth and said "Ah...", a packet of powder was poured into his mouth. He had to hold his neck and cough until his face turned red, and he fell to the ground rolling around.

"Within one stick of incense, if there is no antidote, you will die."

"Help...help, Emperor, Emperor Ji, help..." As he said that, blood flowed from the corner of the eunuch's mouth.

Emperor Ji was shocked and shouted at Yue Li: "This slave is the eunuch who watched me grow up. How dare you feed him poison? Bring me the antidote!"

Yue Li lowered her eyes and looked at Di Ji who was kept in the dark. Her voice was a little cold: "Because of this, I did not kill him immediately, but gave him enough time. The only one who can save him right now is himself.

"

Di Ji was stunned: "What did you say?"

At this moment, the eunuch's face was distorted with pain. He struggled to crawl to the feet of the emperor, holding the hem of her skirt with both hands and begging hard: "Slave... I am guilty..."

Hearing this, the Emperor Ji took two steps back and turned pale: "Impossible!"

Yue Li knelt down, spread her palms and handed over a pill the size of a soybean. Seeing the man take the pill and throw it into his mouth eagerly, his expression was a little complicated.

It is easy to save one's life, but it is very difficult to survive. The task at hand is not as simple as just protecting people. The instruction given to her by Guimen is to ensure that Emperor Ji has no worries at all costs.

Three months does not mean personal protection. It means that within three months, she will not have to be in the whirlpool, and she will not have to live in fear in the future.

That night, Emperor Ji's fever persisted. The entire Bixiao Palace was so busy that they couldn't even touch the floor.

Yue Li stood quietly in front of the bed, watching the waves of imperial doctors coming in and out. She had already given the medicine to Di Ji, but Di Ji had been frightened and shocked before. She raised her head and looked at

I glanced out the window and thought thoughtfully: Soon, things will change in Dongliu!

The princess of Dongliu Kingdom, the sister of the late leader of Dongliu Kingdom, and the biological aunt of Xiao Di Ji, has the power in the court that can cover the sky with one hand.

It's difficult to ascend the throne! If you don't ascend the throne, you will die, and the situation is in a dilemma. The two paths of Emperor Ji's life and death are blocked. Even the late Lord of Dongliu Kingdom can't defeat the princess, a ten-year-old child with no power and strength.

What would happen without my mother?

late at night.

With a crisp ringtone, Yue Li stepped on the soft snow under her feet and appeared in the garden of Bixiao Palace. Her face was a little stern, looking for something in the deserted garden. When she heard the movement, she turned around,

Looking at the back of a figure wearing a hooded white fox fur from a distance, he was slightly surprised, and walked forward slowly: "Bai Ying, shouldn't you go to Beiwu?"

Bai Ying's peach blossom eyes are as tender as water, her eyes are blurred and she still wants to speak, the corners of her lips are half-smiling, and she opens her mouth with tenderness: "I stopped by to see you."

"On the way?" She didn't believe it. Beiwu was sandwiched between Dongliu and Dayuan. He didn't go to Beiwu and went straight to her. Based on this speed, wouldn't it mean that he had left the Dayuan with his front foot and he had chased him with his back foot?

Coming? "Well, I happened to pass by Beiwu. It was quite smooth!"

Seeing that she had exposed him, Bai Ying looked at her with scorching eyes and was not upset. He looked at her from head to toe and saw that she was wearing thin clothes, so he took off his white fox fur and threw it on her.

On her shoulder: "I'm used to seeing you in smart clothes, but I rarely see you wearing a skirt and a hairpin. It's very nice."

Yue Li lowered her head and stretched out her hand to grab the cloak that carried his body temperature, which instantly dispelled Dong Liu's coldness. She couldn't help but feel warm in her heart: "Thank you." She was in a hurry to chase after the thing and didn't even bother to find some clothes.

Get rid of it.

Bai Ying: "How is Emperor Ji?"

Yue Li frowned: "It's a bit troublesome, but I can manage it. The biggest problem right now is her aunt who wants to usurp the throne. I haven't figured out how to settle the emperor."

"That day, my adoptive father said: Only you can do this task, and only you can complete it! I still don't understand what he meant, but from this point of view, this is the real reason for sending you to Dongliu Kingdom."

Yue Li seemed to understand but not understand the matters between the courts, and Dongliu was a woman in charge of the country, so it was really not appropriate to send other killers: "Do you know why the leader of Dongliu came to the ghost gate?" She is alive to this day.

, it was the first time I heard that court officials were seeking help from Jianghu people, so I just looked for it, and actually found the legendary evil devil.

Bai Ying's expression was a little complicated: "She's not looking for a ghost, she's here for you!"

Yue Li said: "Looking for me? Then how did she know about me?"

Bai Ying: "Xuanji Palace claims to be a well-known and upright family, and claims to be "all-knowing and omniscient."

"..."

Yue Li was speechless: That's great! A decent person gave the leader of a country an idea to find a crooked way? It's hard to say, the good and evil factions were fighting in full swing. Since when did he actually help the ghost sect to attract business?

really interesting!

Bai Ying: "When the leader of the Dongliu Kingdom came to visit, I thought the same thing as you. It wasn't until I asked her what she wanted that I realized that Xuanji Palace could do this because it was a last resort."

Yue Li was stunned: "What did she ask?"

"She asked who saved the person who disappeared in Feng Chao three years ago."
