As Xiao Xun approached, Zhu Yan Xin couldn't help but hold his breath. Only then did he remember that Xiao Xun was a man.
This was the first time an unfamiliar man had come so close to her.
This made her a little uncomfortable.
The Empress Dowager took a sip of tea and swept her gaze over Xiao Xun and Zhu Yan Xin. A smile appeared on her face.
She had already learned about what happened last night from Zhu Houzhao.
This made her even more satisfied with her savior.
He pondered for a long time.
She felt that the Emperor had already rewarded Xiao Xun with everything he could.
It just so happened that Jiu 'er came to see her today. Thinking that Jiu' er was already in her prime, she suddenly had the idea of matchmaking him.
In this world's Great Ming Dynasty, the princess would not go through a marriage alliance.
Most of the people that the princess married were from good families, and the number of marriages with the relatives of the civil and military officials could be counted on one hand.
Xiao Xun saved the Empress Dowager's life.
In this period of time, in the Empress Dowager's heart, Xiao Xun could be said to be perfect.
Especially since Xiao Xun had made a great contribution last night, stopping the fake Princess Li Xiu's plot.
It could even be said that he had helped the entire palace resolve a huge hidden danger.
Because of this, the Empress Dowager was more and more satisfied with Xiao Xun!
Xiao Xun stretched out his hand and took out the big white cat from Zhu Yan Xin's arms.
He placed his Invincible Vajra True Qi in his palm and silently felt the big white cat's pulse.
After a while.
"It must have eaten something difficult to digest by mistake.”Xiao Xun muttered. He could faintly sense that there was something special in the big white cat's stomach.
"Then can you cure it?" Zhu Yan Xin looked at Xiao Xun eagerly.
Xiao Xun thought for a moment and said,"We can try, but it's best to change places."”
"Change to where?" Zhu Yan Xin asked curiously.
"Gongfang." Xiao Xun said concisely.
Zhu Yan Xin's pretty face instantly turned red as she secretly glared at Xiao Xun.
Xiao Xun's expression was calm, but his heart could not help but ripple.
"Women will only affect the speed at which I draw my saber.”
Arriving at the guest room, Xiao Xun shook his head to dispel the ripples in his heart and focused all his attention on the big white cat.
He gently stroked the white cat's back with his right hand, and wisps of Genuine Qi seeped into it.
"Meow ~"
The big white cat immediately meowed.
“……”
A moment later.
A small mermaid pearl about the size of a longan fell to the ground.
A thought flashed through Xiao Xun's mind as he stared at the luminous pearl with bright eyes.
Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom!
The Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom disguised as the mermaid's Little Pearl.
In World's Best, the third Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom was swallowed by a cat in the palace.
"Is it Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom?"
Xiao Xun squatted down and examined the mermaid pearl, unable to confirm.
"Regardless of whether it's true or not, I'll put it away first.”
Xiao Xun stretched out his right hand and pressed down lightly. A wisp of true energy instantly permeated the mermaid's pearl, and the 'filth' on the pearl instantly scattered to the ground.
He picked up the clean mermaid pearl and took out a small medicine bottle from his pocket. He opened the bottle cap and put the mermaid pearl inside.
On the label of this bottle, it was labeled as Ten Fragrance Tendon Softening Powder.
After putting away the medicine bottle, Xiao Xun carried the cat out of the room and returned to the main hall.
"It swallowed a small stone and I shattered it.”Xiao Xun said as he handed the big white cat back to Zhu Yan.
"Is it okay?" Zhu Yan Xin asked.
"It should be fine. If Your Highness is still worried, you can go to Celestial Marquis Zhuge or Celestial Marquis Iron-guts to take a look…" Xiao Xun muttered.
"Oh." Zhu Yanhao gave a soft " oh " and sized up the cat with his big eyes. He found that the cat's eyes seemed to be much brighter than before.
"This widow has called you here for another matter.”The empress dowager put down her teacup and said.
Xiao Xun and Zhu Yan looked at the Empress Dowager.
"The night this widow was kidnapped, a fire broke out in Saint Origin Pavilion. You should know about this, right?”The empress dowager asked softly.
Xiao Xun nodded. That fire had burned half the sky red, and there was no one in the capital who did not know about it.
"Saint Origin Pavilion has a rich collection of books.”The Empress Dowager sighed." Who knows how many scrolls were destroyed in that fire?"”
Xiao Xun didn't say anything, but he already had a guess in his heart.
"Netherworld Fire Monk probably stole an extremely important scripture.”
This scripture was very likely related to the Ming royal family.
Otherwise, there was no need for the Empress Dowager to mention it to him.
"What this widow wants you to do is to capture the Nether Fire Monk and retrieve the scripture he stole.”The empress dowager looked at Xiao Xun and slowly said.
"I'll definitely do my best.”
"If you can't retrieve the scripture, then think of a way to destroy it.”The Empress Dowager's expression became more dignified, and her voice also contained a murderous intent." And kill everyone who might have read the scriptures.”
Xiao Xun's eyes narrowed slightly. He nodded and said,"I understand."
Zhu Yan Xin held her breath. This was the first time she had seen her mother like this.
The Empress Dowager took a sip of tea and smiled again.""You don't have to be too nervous. The Guarding Dragon Mountain Villa, Six Fan School, East Hall, and others are also doing their best to hunt down Netherworld Fire Monk.
No matter who caught him, it would be the same.”
"Oh."
" Oh," Xiao Xun softly said. He was even more certain that the scripture must be very important.
After that.
The empress dowager didn't say anything more about this matter. Instead, she asked about what happened last night.
Xiao Xun explained briefly and found that the Empress Dowager and Zhu Yan Xin were both interested in how to find out Princess Li Xiu's gender.
After staying in the Empress Dowager's bedroom for about two hours, Xiao Xun and Zhu Yan Xin left together.
The cat in Zhu Yanqi's arms had already run away.
" The Empress Dowager asked the Ninth Princess to leave with me…"
Xiao Xun narrowed his eyes. He felt that the Empress Dowager was looking at him strangely today.
