Episode 9

According to the report of the palace guards, Princess Yuanzhen has a special liking for the white tea tree. This tree has always been lush but never blooms.However, half a month ago, the white tea tree bloomed without warning, and the flowers fell like snowflakes flying.After that, every midnight, a woman would linger by the tree, whispering in a low voice, as if she was hiding countless thoughts.Considering Princess Yuanzhen's love for the white tea tree, Empress Wu ordered the palace servants not to spread the matter and not to touch the tree at will.Although everyone was full of doubts, they did not dare to disobey the order.Wu Zhen looked at the white tea tree carefully and instantly guessed the identity of the woman, but she deliberately kept it in a silence without telling Mei Zhuyu.

Huzhu handed the reward for eliminating demons to Shuangjiang, his eyes fell on the seven-color foxtail pendant hanging around his waist, and he asked for it.Frost River frankly said that this was not a real fox tail, but a rabbit tail dyed.After hearing this, Huzhu was stunned at first, then his expression eased, and his hostility towards Frost River dissipated a little.During the conversation, Shuangzhan learned that Mei Zhuyu and Wu Zhen had a different relationship, so he said firmly that the two would never be together. He also said that Mei Zhuyu was clear on the surface but had no desires, but in fact she was firm in her will. Once she was determined, she would never change, let alone fall into the love of her children.

That night, Wu Zhen and Mei Zhuyu hid in the pavilion of the Imperial Garden. The white tea trees under the moonlight emitted a faint light, and the surroundings were silent.Suddenly, a bright red figure floated over. Mei Zhuyu looked closely and found that it was Princess Yuanzhen.She held a celadon medicine bottle in her hand and slowly poured the medicine juice specially made by the imperial doctor on the roots of the tree, with sorrow between her eyebrows.Wu Zhen suddenly appeared and secretly used spells to make Princess Yuanzhen faint, and then signaled Mei Zhuyu to send the princess back to the bedroom, while he stayed under the tree to check the situation.

After Mei Zhuyu left, Wu Zhen spoke to the white tea tree. The white tea spirit appeared weakly, with a handsome face as pale as paper, and his translucent body was tightly attached to the bark.Under Wu Zhen's questioning, the White Tea Spirit talked about the origins of himself and Princess Yuanzhen.In the early years, the white tea essence gradually gained intelligence and was rescued by Princess Yuanzhen by chance.Because the palace is very deserted, Princess Yuanzhen often comes to talk to it about her thoughts.Later, the white tea essence turned into a human form for the first time, hoping to repay the princess through flowering, but unfortunately it was parasitized by the toxic moth and life was about to be exhausted.After hearing this, Wu Zhen couldn't bear to see Princess Yuanzhen sad. Because the white tea essence was sincere to Princess Yuanzhen, he poured the thousand-flowered honey wine into the water, and the poisonous moths fell one after another, and the white tea essence's condition improved.

Princess Yuanzhen suddenly woke up in the bedroom and hurriedly wanted to visit the white tea tree. She also said frankly that she had regarded the white tea tree as the most precious thing and asked Mei Zhuyu if there were anyone she was worried about.When Mei Zhuyu heard this, Wu Zhen's figure suddenly appeared in his mind.When he arrived at the tree, he found that all the toxic moths had been removed. It turned out that Wu Zhen cleverly solved the problem with honey water and protected the safety of the white tea tree.Wu Zhen praised him for his knowledge and took a half step forward, but Mei Zhuyu quietly retreated. She did not force him and instead proposed to send him home.Before leaving, Mei Zhuyu looked back at the white tea tree, feeling that it had no evil thoughts, had never done bad things, and had a innocent heart, so she decided not to subdue it.

Wu Zhen and Mei Zhuyu returned in a carriage together. When they passed by Mei’s house, they found that the previously muddy path had turned into a flat and wide road that could accommodate cars and horses.Mei Zhuyu looked down Wu Zhen's gaze and said that this road should have been repaired long ago and there was nothing worth saying.But Wu Zhen's mouth raised slightly, his eyes full of smiles.After returning to the room, Mei Zhuyu sat alone in front of the desk, feeling upset.When Shuangjian saw him like this, he suddenly realized that a person as pure and weak as his senior brother might have moved his mind.

Wu Zhen and Wu Zi Shu cleverly cooperated, which finally made Liu Taizhen no longer pursue the matter of white tea essence remaining in the world.The wordless book reported to Liu Taizhen that someone was looking for it everywhere - the Demonic Notes - which was written by her in the name of “ Baishelang 200 years ago.Liu Taizhen went to check it out in person and found that the person who was asking for the book was Mei Si.

When Mei Si saw Liu Taizhen appear, she ignored her cold attitude and pestered her to explain the content in the book, especially her ” of the “ of the ” of the “ of the ” of the “ of the ” of the “ of the ” of the “ of the ” of the “ of the ” of the “ of the ” of the % of the silence.Just as he was talking about the key point, Ling Xiao suddenly appeared, which scared Mei Si so much that he almost lost his soul.Liu Taizhen once again sternly rejected Mei Si's intentions and ordered Ling Xiao to drive him out.Seeing all this aside, Wu Zhen couldn't help feeling wronged for this infatuated person and secretly lamented that Liu Tai was really too heartless.

That night, the sky thunder was about to descend, and the gray elder broke the chain and sneaked into the depths of the demon prison.The great demon Xuanxian was imprisoned for a hundred years, ran away many times and was caught back. He had long hated the second master, so he immediately bewitched Elder Gray and joined forces with him.Elder Gray revealed that the second duke will use the help of heavenly thunder tonight to break the evil spirit, and there will definitely be gaps in the barrier at that time. He needs to lure thunder into prison and use the power of the celestial phenomena to open the door of Xuanxian's prison.At the same time, Empress Wu advised the emperor, intending to return the Tianhuo case file to Xuanjiansi and entrusted Mei Zhuyu with important tasks.Seeing that the queen trusted this person so much, the emperor decided to test it and see the real situation of the monsters in Chang'an City.
