After a long time, the sound of footsteps rang out in the middle of the otherwise silent cave.
“Crunch, crunch ……”
The toothsome sound of snow being trampled down continued to ring out.
Clementine’s gaze was fixed on the small cave entrance.
An old man wearing an ice-blue dress, with silver hair and a face covered with old age spots, and leaning on a leading staff appeared.
Upon seeing the old man’s figure, Clementine hurriedly walked up to a*sist him.
“Little girl, whose heir are you?”
It was probably due to the fact that he had not spoken for many years.
Wushan Xue Lao’s voice was filled with a sense of hoarseness.
“My late teacher is the last head of the witch doctors, Carpenter Yale.”
Clementine said to the old man, who was almost four hundred years old.
“That little brat of a pupil of Yale’s, how time has pa*sed and his pupil is now so old.”
There was a sense of nostalgia in Wushan Yuki’s voice.
She was a peer of that brat of a teacher of Yale’s.
That meant she was three generations removed from Clementine.
“Is there something that has awakened this old skeleton of mine now?”
“His Majesty’s Crown Princess, who has just ascended the throne in the Wanxiang Kingdom, was a*sa*sinated while pregnant and nearly miscarried, and is now just barely hanging on.”
Wushan Xue Lao nodded, understanding what Clementine meant.
She had also been awakened two or three times over the years.
The most recent time she had been awakened was when she had given treatment to Jiayuan I.
The sun was gradually setting, in the middle of dusk.
Gadre was sitting somewhat anxiously at the door of Fireyna’s chambers.
Clementine had said she would be back before nightfall, but it was already dusk.
Gadrei’s body was still stained with blood.
It was the blood of a traitor he had killed with his sword today.
He didn’t bother to change it, and he was even prepared to do so.
In future, he would wear this bloodied royal robe to court.
Finally, two figures came into view.
Clementine was strolling along, carefully supporting a silver-haired Wushan Yuki.
Gadrei walked quickly up to him, and a look of joy appeared in his originally anxious eyes.
“Junior Jiad Lie has met senior Wushan Xue Lao, please help save my royal concubine.
“Well, well, young man, you speak so loudly my old bones will shake apart in a moment.”
Wushan Xue Lao hurriedly waved his hand and told Jiad Lie to be quiet.
Jiadrei also snorted in embarra*sment, he was too emotional just now and did not control his voice.
Wushan Yukiro arrived at Fire Ina’s door and was about to push the door in when he noticed that Gadrei was still following behind him.
“What, do you still want to go in with the old body and take a look?”
Gadrei instantly responded that it wouldn’t look good to go in by herself.
“Ah …… no no no, senior you can just go in.”
I don’t know if I heard it wrong.
Jiadre seems to have heard Wushan Yukiro say one more thing before he went in.
“Why does the king of this generation not look too smart.”
Gadre fell into silence, then turned his head to look at his own guard.
Marshall …… skipped over it.
“Arnold, did she just say I wasn’t too smart?”
With one hand, Gadre grabbed Arnold’s arm with a pleading look in his eyes.
Arnold’s mouth smiled as he spoke.
“Your Majesty must have misheard, Wushan Yuki-senpai is a kind-hearted person, so naturally she would not be.”
Arnold’s emotional intelligence naturally saw that Gadrei was looking for a stepping stone.
If he had really asked the Marshall, he would have said that the old stick had indeed said it.
Then Gadre could only force himself to bear the embarra*sment as if he had not heard.
“Your Majesty, that old …… ummmmmmmmm!”
Marshall just opened his mouth, Arnold as if he had expected it.
He took out a strip of meat directly from the bag and stuffed it into Marshall’s mouth with unerring precision.
Looking at Marshall’s stammering look.
Gadre gave Arnold an appreciative look of great dissatisfaction.
Well done.
