"But I still can't escape Yun Niao's trap.”Yin Yicui clenched her fists tightly. It was obvious that she was reminded of the massacre of her family.
Xue Lin tried her best to hold his hand and caress his face. She tried to keep her voice calm. "Yun Niao will soon fall.”
"Even if she doesn't fall, I will kill her.”
Xue Lin snickered. He was still as ruthless as before! "Okay, but now I have to trouble you to go to Shangwang and help bring someone back. This person is the only person who knows about Princess Yunxi's poisoning. However, this trip was extremely dangerous. Several groups of people I sent out did not return. I hope you are an exception.”
Yin Yicui's eyes immediately lit up. He asked,"When are you getting up?"
"The sooner the better. It's just that…Yun Niao is full of tricks, you should be careful.”
"Don't worry. I will definitely bring her back." He was full of confidence.
Yes, she knew that he could do it. If even he couldn't do it, she believed that no one else in the world could do it. However, she had only seen him for two days, and they were going to separate again?
"Princess, do you have any other instructions?" Seeing her deep in thought, he asked.
" Ye Ying, he…" She suddenly realized that she had said too much and immediately shut her mouth. Yin Yicui was shocked. How did she know about Ye Ying? And he sounded familiar? Could it be that Ye Ying was a spy who had sided with her and told her everything about him? At the thought of this, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but she spoke again,"You've just arrived, so you're not familiar with this place, right? I'll bring you around."
So they went downstairs one after the other, stepping on the stone blocks in the water one by one, bypassing a few osmanthus trees that were in full bloom and leaving the courtyard. After passing through a few long corridors, she deliberately stopped in front of Sun Lian's residence for a while and looked into the courtyard for a long time. She seemed to casually say,"This person is a young master from Heavenly Earth. He was captured by Yun Niao and locked up in prison for half a year.”
Yin Yicui secretly remembered the three words Qin Garden House in her heart, but she felt strange in her heart. Why did Princess Xuexi's back look so much like Xue 'er?
Xue 'er, where are you? What are you planning to do by arranging for me to stay in that manor in the suburbs?
The only reply he got was the whistling of the wind. The wind started to blow.
Ever since the incident at the state banquet, Ziqing had become a little silent and depressed. He looked a little lonely from afar, which made Xue Lin feel a little guilty and sad. She quietly approached him and opened her arms to embrace him tightly. "What's wrong, Ziqing? Why are you so listless?"
"No…I'm fine. Xue, I want to ask you something. Do you love me?”
"What do you think? Idiot! Right, today Imperial Grandmother bestowed me with a luminous pearl. It's said to be a tribute from the South Sea! Well, I don't know if it's good or not. Anyway, it's quite big and looks very smooth.”She took it out from her pocket and the room lit up." This is for you."”
Zi Qing was stunned. "For me?" This, this was too precious!
"That's right! A treasure matched with a beauty, this pearl is the most suitable for you, Ziqing! Take it. "She opened his hand and placed the luminous pearl in his palm before closing his hand.
" Xue…" His long fingers gently slid across her perfect and delicate face. He saw that there was no trace of pretense or falsehood in her eyes. She was so sincere and so clear! His heart trembled again. "Why are you so good to me?"
"You are my concubine, my husband!”she said matter-of-factly. The next moment, her vision turned black. Her lips were pressed against his. His large palm held the back of her head and pressed her tightly against him. After a warm kiss, he held her in his arms and said,""Xue, give me a child, a child that belongs to us.”
Her face turned red unconsciously. Although they had already had physical contact and were husband and wife, she still felt a little embarrassed when she heard him say it like this. She stammered," It's good, but... this... can it be just like that..."
Zi Qing saw that her face was getting redder and redder, and he was in a good mood. He smiled and said,"I understand. I must have not worked hard enough in the past. From today onwards, I will work harder and keep working hard.”As the saying goes, it's better to do it than to say it. Therefore, the next moment, the curtains were pulled down. He skillfully untied her clothes and his long fingers gently stroked her graceful body as he began to move.
This was destined to be another sleepless night.
Three days later, they went to the Prime Minister's residence together.
Zi Ke bowed to Xue Lin and left with a red face. His sister Zi Ran pulled Xue Lin into her room to chat. On the other side, the Prime Minister and her husband pulled Zi Qing over and spoke.
"I think this girl treats you well. Ziqing, I didn't expect you to choose the right person.”The Prime Minister was delighted.
"Didn't you say that you didn't think it would work?"”
The Prime Minister glared at him. Didn't I think she didn't have any power back then? What else did she have besides being pretty? Speaking of which, what was the use of this woman being beautiful? Although she was born and raised among the people, she was still able to win against the Second Princess. She was really not simple. On the surface, she seemed to have suffered a loss at the state banquet a few days ago. In fact, she was the winner. A few drops of tears that did not flow out pushed the Second Princess into hell. The emperor has given the word that her aides and ministers are already starting to get restless. I'll take the opportunity to absorb some of them and suppress the rest. Although the Second Princess did not completely collapse, she was still severely injured this time. Ziqing, your princess won't be too far away from the 95th position if she loses an opponent like this. You have to help her.”
Zi Qing nodded, but his heart was not that comfortable. She was the legitimate princess, so she had the highest possibility of inheriting the throne. Although she was not powerful at the moment, her future was limitless. However…if she really ascended the throne, how could she only marry him? At that time, he would have three palaces, six courtyards, seventy-two concubines, and three thousand beauties. Just thinking about it would make him feel afraid. If that was the case, he would rather she just be a princess.
"No matter how many she marries in the future, you have to remember one thing. You will be the emperor's husband. With us supporting you, no one can touch your position. So don't worry." The Prime Minister could see his worry, so he reminded him. "Once Princess Yun Niao falls, we have to act quickly. Otherwise, it'll be troublesome if she wants to turn things around. Ziqing, you must think of a way to capture Xuexi's heart. It's best if you let her give birth to a little princess for you.”
Thank you, dear friends. I hope you have a happy weekend.
Xue Lin had been recuperating in the Night Tide Snow Palace ever since she came back from the Prime Minister's Mansion because of the incident where she was scratched by Yun Niao at the state banquet. She didn't want to cause any trouble, but trouble still came knocking on her door. According to many people, ever since the Emperor had reprimanded Princess Yun Liao, she had been disheartened and spent her days drinking and making merry in her own palace. Many of the officials in the court had also drawn a clear line with her. Because of this, she had scolded Xue Xi, saying things like 'fair and aboveboard,''evil spirits bringing disaster to the country,' beautiful women bringing disaster to the country'. In the end, she had just finished scolding her when she was attacked by a large number of assassins and was now seriously injured and bedridden.
Feng Lan said carefully, observing Xue Lin's reaction from time to time. Her expression became more and more unsightly. In the end, she sighed and murmured,""What a brilliant scheme!"
Xiaomei did not understand. "Princess, isn't this a good thing? That Princess Yun Niao has been making things difficult for you. If she dies, you should be happy!”
"I'm confused. If she was assassinated at this time, anyone would think that it was me who did it. In this way, I would be charged with treason and assassinating the princess. In addition, many of the ministers in the court have changed sides. People will say that I want to take the opportunity to win over the party and have evil intentions. Princess Yun Liao is only the first step. The second step will be the current Emperor.”
This act of sacrificing oneself was really perfect. In the face of such a desperate situation, Yun Niao was still able to turn the tables and pull her into the water. How could she understand these schemes? It seemed that he had to leave this place quickly. This was a place where he could kill without bloodshed! Yin Yicui, come back quickly. Once the cause of Yun Xi's death is announced to the public, my mission will be completed. At that time, I can retire or escape to another country. It was just that…Ziqing had been harmed…
Ziqing, I'm really sorry. I was wrong from the beginning. I shouldn't have touched you so that you could have a pure body, but…a single mistake will cause eternal regret. After the first time, there will be a second time. Besides, you're so outstanding and perfect. Which woman in this world can reject you?
Sure enough, Xue Yao came to the Snow Tide Palace the next day. She was no longer as kind and amiable as before, and the way she looked at her gradually became distant. It seemed that in her heart, she was no longer that innocent, kind, and weak granddaughter, right?
"Xuexi, you grew up with your father and have a clear mind. I always thought you were a kind and innocent girl…I just didn't expect that in just a few days, you've been tainted by the power of the palace. No matter how useless Yun Niao is, she is still your elder. How…how could you join hands with the Prime Minister to deal with her?”Xue Yao's words gave Xue Lin a heavy blow.
"Grandmother, Xuexi has never done such a thing…"
"Alright, I don't care if you did it or not. I just want to tell you that I still like the original Xuexi.”Xue Yao firmly concluded.
