Qin Haoyan turned livid at the sight of the disordered corpses on the ground. Ouyang Shaochen meant that Qin should clean the ground and steps in front of the gate of Lord Freedom’s Mansion for it was his guards who had dirtied there. How mean and crafty he is!
Removing dozens of corpses is no big deal. He could send for someone to do the job!
Murong Xue looked back quietly when she was walking forward, only to find that Qin Haoyan was standing outside the gate of the mansion, talking with Wu Hen. She asked Ouyang, “Is he really going to stay here and remove those corpses?”
“I don’t think he will clean up personally, instead, he might send for his subordinates to do it.” Ouyang Shaochen answered softly, and turned to look at Murong Xue, “How did the animosity between you and Qin Haoyan develop?”
“It’s all because of Qin Yuyan ……” Murong Xue snorted unhappily, and immediately told Ouyang the development of the animosity between them.
The more Ouyang Shaochen heard, the livider his face grew. He slightly narrowed his dark eyes as he thought: “How could they come up with such a vicious method of gouging out Xue’er’s eyes and use them to cure Qin Yuyan’s!”
“Your Highness, does such a great physician who could replace eyes through his profound medical skills even exist?” Murong Xue asked with a puzzled look. There are countless nerves in an eye, and each of them is very fragile. Even in the modern era with advanced medicine, corneal replacement could only be accomplished via sophisticated instruments.”
“Then, how does that great physician replace eyes without medical instruments?”
“It’s said that there is indeed one, yet, only a few people have seen him. I don’t know whether that rumor is true or not.” Ouyang Shaochen answered in a low voice with a piercing stare.
“It must be true. If not, why would Qin Haoyan be so urgent to get my eyes?” Murong Xue said, her eyes gleaming with hatred.
“They won’t be able to gouge your eyes out even if they want to, for you are now in Lord Freedom’s Mansion!” Ouyang Shaochen comforted gently. He stopped and gazed at Murong Xue whose hair was messy with a hint of disgust flashing through his eyes at the sight of stins on her clothes. “You look terrible, and you smell strange, so you might as well take a bath and clean up first. Everything else can wait.”
Hearing his words, Murong Xue stiffened, and suddenly found that she was in the room of Ouyang Shaochen, and the smell of sludge spreading from her body smelled very strange and odorous against that of the ink-bamboo in his room.
“Fine!” Murong Xue glared at him unhappily before she strode behind the folding screen.
Behind the folding screen was a big bathing pool, from which hot steam rose slowly. By the side of the pool was a small table with a height of thirty centimeters, on which there were perfume, cotton bath towels and other items.
With her black hair unbounded, and clothes taken off, Murong Xue stepped into the bathing pool. The warmth penetrated into her limbs through her pores, and flowed fast in her blood, making her feel extremely comfortable.
Qin Yuyan’s eyes were scratched by her and must be replaced as soon as possible. However, she is in Lord Freedom’s Mansion, a place hardly nobody dared to intrude into. Thus, it was impossible for Qin Yuyan to get her eyes replaced, and she would be a blind princess of Mo Bei soon.
Murong Xue thought gloatingly while faint fragrance spread to her nostrils. Feeling a bit tired, she leaned against the pool side, and fell asleep unconsciously with her eyes closed!
Behind the folding screen, Ouyang Shaochen found that Murong Xue was fast sleep with her head on the edge. Her black hair was down like waterfall, her pretty face was slightly reddened by the hot steam, her long eyelashes cast thick shadows on her eyelids like small fans, and her beauty was inviolable.
