Usually, when Xia Li saw her crying, he could not help but comfort her a little more to make her feel at ease.
But this time, the smell on Xia Yu's body was really too smelly.
Holding back the feeling of vomiting, Xia Li watched Xia Yu's tears fall.
On her face, tears passed by, leaving two shallow, dirty, black marks. He did not even have the intention to raise his hand to wipe Xia Yu's tears, not to mention that his lapels had been grabbed by her hand, leaving a dirty mark.
"Alright, let's return to the Honglu temple first. " Xia Li pushed Xia Yu away again.
Xia Yu returned to the Honglu temple and used a total of five buckets of water to wash her body clean.
She changed into a clean dress and sat in front of the Bronze Mirror. Xia Yu stared at the slightly crooked face in the bronze mirror. With a bang, she smashed the bronze mirror and swept everything on the table away.
Her face... ...
Xia Li was also shocked when he saw Xia Yu.
The girl's face was slightly swollen and the corners of her mouth were crooked.
That pair of eyes was bursting with extreme hatred. Xia Yu, who used to be gentle and careful in front of others, had finally shed all pretense of cordiality.
"Brother Xia Li, I want Xia Ling to die! "
No matter what, Xia Li did not want to cause any more trouble in the state of Zhou. His trip to the state of Zhou this time was not going well.
The capital was built like an iron bucket. It was very difficult for him to find an opportunity to make a move.
"Be Good. For now, let's hurry back and let the imperial physician take a look at your face. The key is to see if you can recover. " Xia Li did not want to cause any more trouble. It was not easy for him to get Xia Yu out. The most important thing was to quickly send her back to her successor.
Looking at him, Xia Li could tell that he was estranged.
Xia Yu lowered her face and touched the corner of her mouth.
"Okay, brother Xia Li, I'll listen to you. However, while we are in the capital of the state of Zhou, find me a few doctors to take a look. The State of Zhou is vast and abundant. What if there is a medicine that can cure it? "
"Don't worry, I'll make the arrangements, " Xia Li promised.
He did not see Xia Yu's resentful expression after lowering her head.

Xia Ling went out to look around the shop.
When she returned, large boxes piled up like a small mountain in the courtyard of Yue Xuan.
Li Yu ordered people to register. When the boxes were opened, there were boxes of gold, silver, jewelry, and antiques... ... It was very eye-catching ...
"Madam is back. " When Li Yu saw Xia Ling, she immediately greeted her with a smile.
"What is this for? Why aren't the things in our manor brought into the storeroom to be counted? " Xia Ling asked with some confusion.
She walked closer and looked at the boxes of things.
After a rough look, for some reason, she felt that these things were somewhat familiar.
Li Yu said, "this is an order from his highness. From now on, it will be sent to Madam's private vault. It is a gift from his subordinates. "
Gift?
Xia Ling somehow thought of Xia Li.
Suddenly, she understood where these boxes came from.
"I understand. May I ask chief Li... " Xia Ling's eyes were gentle as she asked Li Yu in a low voice, "I wonder if his highness is currently in the residence? "
Li Yu had the intention to sell Xia Ling a favor. "Yes, we are having a meeting in the front yard. "
Xia Ling nodded and looked to the side.
At this moment, Ying Chun took a purse and stuffed it into Li Yu's hands.
Li Yu pushed her a few times and accepted it.
Xia Ling stewed pigeon winter yin soup over a small fire. The soup was white and she brought Ying Chun to the front yard.
Gu Yan saw Xia Ling's figure from afar and his eyes flashed.
He said indifferently, "that's all for today. You can all leave. We'll report the rest later. "
"Yes. " The strategists answered and left the front hall.
When Xia Ling came, she felt that she came at a good time. It was just after Gu Yan finished his meeting.
She personally carried the bowl of pigeon soup into the front hall.
"Your Highness. " She smiled. Her voice was as sweet as honey. "I've brewed pigeon soup for you. Your Highness has worked hard these days. I feel sorry for Your Highness, so I came to the front yard to take a look. Your Highness, take a rest and drink it while it's hot. "
"Okay, put it down, " Gu Yan said lightly.
He knew that Xia Ling had already received the gift he sent.
Xia Ling's bowl of pigeon soup was a return gift.
So much gold, silver, and jewelry in exchange for this bowl of pigeon soup Wouldn't this pigeon soup be too expensive?
"No, this pigeon soup is personally brewed by me. I must watch the Royal Highness drink it. " Xia Ling still had a smile on her face.
She walked up and personally took care of it.
Using a spoon, she scooped out the milky white pigeon soup, placed it in a small bowl at the side, and blew at it carefully.
Such careful and meticulous behavior was different from her usual docile behavior.
Gu Yan gazed at her deeply, and did not stop her. He just wanted to see what other tricks she could play.
After blowing the pigeon soup to cool down, Xia Ling smiled. She held the small bowl, tilted her body and naturally sat on Gu Yan's leg.
"Your Highness, open your mouth. " Her smile was clear, and her eyes were filled with Gu Yan's figure.
Looking at her, she looked into her eyes.
Gu Yan unconsciously curved her thin lips and revealed a slight smile.
It was just a fleeting moment, but this smile had existed in the end.
Swallowing the pigeon soup.
Gu Yan had received the grace of this beauty.
...
He was originally the superior of ten thousand people, how could anything in this world be in his eyes?
After drinking this bowl of pigeon soup, Gu Yan and Xia Ling returned to Yue Xuan.
In broad daylight, Yue Xuan asked for water three times.
Li Yu and Ying Chun stood guard outside. They had a new view of how Xia Ling should be treated.
The Regent King, Li Yu had followed him for so many years. If he had known earlier that although his temperament was uncertain, the rules were bigger than the sky, and everything was done according to the rules.
Such a man still fell on a woman.
This woman was really amazing!
*
Xia Ling had gotten so much gold, silver, and jewelry, so Gu Yan let her keep it in his private vault.
After the bed, she thanked Gu Yan, but Gu Yan only said that this was the dowry that Xia Kingdom had given her.
Xia Ling leaned against Gu Yan and looked at Gu Yan's side profile. She smiled, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.
This man, he did not know that he had already taken her into his heart and had always been good to her, but everything he did was biased towards her... ...
*
Xia Ling lived a comfortable life in the regent Prince's residence.
On Xia Kingdom's side, Xia Yu smashed all the apparatuses in the palace that could reflect a person's figure.
In the end, her face had been delayed for too long, and there was no turning back.
The drooping half of her face made her look vicious and old. She hated Xia Ling and wished that she could die right away.
Xia Yu endured the entire journey and could no longer hold back her hatred towards Xia Ling.
Xia Yu had a group of secret guards in her hands. They were arranged to stay by her side after she went to the Zhou Kingdom.
In the Zhou Kingdom, she had been locked up in the heavenly prison as soon as she entered Shang Le Workshop. The secret guards would not be able to rescue her from the heavenly prison either, so now was the time to put them to good use.
Xia Yu moved the Xia kingdom's secret chess piece and gave the order to kill Xia Ling at all costs.
The order was carried out, and the good news that Xia Yu had been waiting for did not happen.
A month later, the state of Zhou, Chen Bing, captured the secret guards sent by the Xia Kingdom alive and began to attack the Xia Kingdom in the name of scheming against the State of Zhou.
