Chapter 49 The Accidental Encounter with the Crimson Blade

Su Liluo arrived empty-handed but left laden with belongings, eventually leaving the princess's residence with several large boxes of goods, together with Xiao Ye.

As for Princess Changning, when she learned that her mother not only did not punish Su Liluo, but also gave her many rewards, she was so angry that she smashed a lot of things in her room.

In the end, it was the eldest princess who comforted her, saying that everything was for Su Liluo to be able to make a connection with the itinerant doctor when she met him, so she endured it.

As night fell, it was pitch black all around.

After Su Liluo and the others returned to the Crown Prince's residence, they each went back to their own rooms.

She sorted through the things she had taken from the Princess's residence and suddenly discovered a gleaming silver dagger with a lustrous ruby ​​inlaid on it.

"Huh, why does this look like the Crimson Mystic Blade?"

She murmured her doubts, then took out the dagger and examined it closely.

The Crimson Profound Blade was in Xiao Churen's hands in his previous life.

This knife may appear blunt, but it can actually cut through iron like mud. What's amazing is that it can be infused with the user's internal energy.

If internal energy is injected, this knife can pierce through the heart from a hundred miles away.

In his previous life, Xiao Churen used this very knife to take the life of an enemy general during a battle against an enemy nation.

It's actually here now. Could it be that Xiao Churen obtained this dagger from the Princess's mansion in his past life?

It's likely that the eldest princess had no idea about the secret of this dagger, which is why she accidentally stole it.

Her initial intention was probably to use the dagger to mock him, as if she wanted to stab him to death!

But unexpectedly, by sheer chance, I stumbled upon a treasure!

However, she only knew rudimentary martial arts skills and had no internal strength, so the dagger was of little use to her.

It's more practical to leave it to the Crown Prince!

With that thought in mind, Su Liluo took the dagger and prepared to go find Xiao Ye.

Meanwhile, in the Cloud Pavilion, Xiao Ye was in his secluded study, a candle flickering on the table.

He sat at his desk, with a guard dressed in black standing in front of him.

"Did you really hear that they from the Northern Desert were planning a surprise attack on the northern border town? Could it be that they deliberately leaked this information?"

Inside the room, Xiao Ye's serious voice could be heard.

Su Liluo had good hearing; she heard the sentence when she was still ten steps away.

With each step she took, a chill ran through her.

"The Northern Desert?"

Then, memories of what happened in my previous life came to mind.

In her previous life, she overheard information about the Northern Desert, learning that the Northern Desert had sent spies to mislead the border generals, intending to take advantage of the situation.

A surprise attack by aircraft.

Later, she told Xiao Churen about it, and Xiao Churen sent people to investigate and found something suspicious.

Therefore, Xiao Churen took the initiative to request the emperor to send him to the north, where he personally annihilated the border forces of the Northern Desert.

Back then, it was this very red Xuan sword that I used today that took the life of the Northern Desert general.

This battle directly boosted Xiao Churen's reputation, earning him not only the emperor's trust but also the praise of the entire court.

At that time, Xiao Ye had also mentioned to the Emperor that he wanted to go in person, but the Emperor did not agree.

Thinking of this, Su Liluo continued walking to the door of the study.

"who?"

Before she could even knock, Xiao Ye inside had already heard footsteps and asked warily.

The door creaked open, and Xiao Ye was taken aback to see Su Liluo standing outside.

What brings you here?

Xiao Ye asked aloud.

By this time, the guards inside the house had already disappeared without a trace.

Su Liluo glanced around and realized that Xiao Ye probably didn't quite trust her yet.

So she took out a dagger and went inside.

"I found a treasure and came here specifically to give it to you. If you go to the Northern Desert this time, this can help you."

"You heard everything?"

Xiao Ye stared intently at Su Liluo, a hint of wariness in his eyes.

Su Liluo closed the door behind her and walked seriously to Xiao Ye.

She placed the red Xuan sword in front of Xiao Ye's desk.

"I found this knife by chance among the things the Princess gave me. She probably didn't know that this dagger was a treasure, which is why she sent it to me."

"But I've heard of this sword before. It's called the Crimson Mystic Blade. It can be infused with a martial artist's internal energy, capable of piercing the heart from a hundred miles away. I think it would suit you well."

Crimson Mystic Blade!

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ye's pupils twitched slightly.

Clearly, he knew about the dagger, but he never expected to obtain it from the princess by chance.

Xiao Ye's gaze shifted from Su Liluo to the red Xuan sword on the table. He reached out, picked it up, and opened it.

In the flickering candlelight, the dagger, though seemingly blunt, gleamed.

Suddenly, with a faint sound, the dagger suddenly became thinner and longer.

What was originally a blunt dagger has suddenly transformed into a long, thin, and sharp sword.

"It really is the Crimson Mystic Blade!"

Xiao Ye's tone was slightly excited.

Su Liluo hadn't expected that this knife had a mechanism; no wonder it was so dull yet could still pierce through the heart from a hundred miles away.

Thank you.

Xiao Ye then looked at Su Liluo and sincerely thanked her.

Su Lilu smiled and said, "You are my husband, there's no need for such formalities between husband and wife."

"......"

My husband!

Hearing Su Liluo address him like that again, Xiao Ye's heart skipped a beat.

These two words seem somewhat touching.

"Don't worry about the Northern Desert matter. I won't tell anyone. I support you going to the Northern Desert. This is your chance to regain the Emperor's trust."

Su Liluo spoke earnestly again.

Xiao Ye then came to his senses and looked at Su Liluo, "Do you think this is true?"

Actually, he didn't completely believe it yet, and wondered if it was a trap deliberately set by the other party.

Su Liluo's determination surprised him.

Su Liluo nodded. "The general guarding the north is the eldest son of the second branch of the Su family. I know his character; he won't be bought off by the Northern Desert people, but... he might be deceived."

"Being misled?"

Xiao Ye muttered these words to himself: If the second son of the Su family was deceived and careless in defending the city, giving the enemy an opening.

Indeed, it's hard to guarantee that the Northern Desert won't launch a surprise attack.

Looking into Su Liluo's eyes, he felt a strange sense of trust welling up inside him.

"I understand. I'll think about it for a few more days."

Even though he trusted Su Liluo, he decided to investigate again before making a decision, just to be on the safe side.

Su Liluo didn't try to persuade him any further; she knew he would definitely go.

Sure enough, a few days later, Xiao Ye confirmed the news and planned to go to the Northern Desert in person.

However, he sent a letter to Emperor Wenjian, requesting an audience with the emperor so that he could speak with him personally.

I sent out several messages, but received no response.

Su Lilu had anticipated this, so she took the initiative to find Xiao Ye.

“My husband, I can help you see the Emperor.”

"oh?"

Xiao Ye looked at Su Liluo with surprise, feeling that she was hiding some secrets.

"Yes, I know how to see the Emperor, but I need my husband to promise me one thing."
