Xiao Zhixing let go and released her.

They're so timid, yet they're so bold when it comes to doing bad things. She thinks this person is so powerful.

She felt sorry for Xiao Yan, who was harmed by such a woman, which shows that you can't ignore anyone you look down on.

You never know when these treacherous people will jump out and bite you hard, leaving you defenseless.

Xiao Zhixing pried open her mouth and stuffed a meatball inside.

He initially intended to kill her outright, but then thought that perhaps he could use her to deal with Narovi, so he drugged her into sleep and directly stored her in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Carrying a long quilt that pretended to be occupied, she left Feixia Palace and gazed at Shengde Hall in the distance.

Luo Wei, Luo Mangong, or Zhao Yunqi?

She wasn't surprised at all; she could tell who was behind it by looking at who was the biggest beneficiary.

It's estimated that nothing will be found next, and even if something is found, it will definitely have nothing to do with Zhao Yunqi.

She sneered, "Then let's start from somewhere else."

Now that he had taken over Xiao Qingluan's body, he naturally wanted to avenge her "mother".

Not long after Xiao Zhixing left, Luo Mangong appeared in the side hall of Feixia Palace, and soon went to Shengde Hall to report.

"The person has disappeared."

Zhao Yunqi, dressed in her inner robe, leaned against the armchair and hummed in response, without any emotion. "Report her death as an illness, and bury her with the rank of a concubine."

"Yes." Luo Mangong withdrew.

The Emperor System said, "You're ruthless. You used her and didn't even protect her. If she falls into Xiao Zhixing's hands, how can she survive?"

"She and the Zhang family have enjoyed more than ten years of good fortune, and I have done more than enough."

The Zhang family has begun to stir up trouble. Knowing Zhao Lin's true identity, they still dare to covet the throne; their intentions are despicable.

His decision to appoint someone else as crown prince was different from the decision to appoint Zhao Lin as crown prince after being deceived.

A ruler hates those who deceive him the most.

Zhao Yunqi reminded it, "Then Luo Wei, if Xiao Zhixing's help is still not enough to deal with him, you should find a way to get rid of him."

The Emperor System grunted, "Damn it!"

It had managed to escape its control and had now attracted Xiao Zhixing's attention, making it anxious and eager to destroy him immediately.

Zhao Yunqi seemed to be talking to himself, "She should already know about Zhao Lin's background."

The Emperor System retorted irritably, "So what if you know? Do you still fantasize about her getting close to you?"

Xiao Zhixing has a fiery temper; she won't even glance at people or things she dislikes.

And those she is willing to accept, she will absolutely protect with all her might.

Zhao Yunqi regained his composure and stopped mentioning it. "Xiao Yuanshan wants to travel the world. He's probably planning to find Xiao Yan."

"It's obvious that Xiao Zhixing is fully capable of handling things on his own, so naturally he can't help but want to find someone."

Zhao Yunqi grunted, seemingly half-asleep, and said, "Send someone to follow him closely."

"Even without you saying it, I want to see if he can find Xiao Yan."

Zhang Xiu, Consort Zhang, and Consort Zhang died quietly. The next day, apart from the Zhang family's great grief and Zhao Lin's tears, no one cared about her death.

Outsiders remain captivated by the exam questions from the Gentleman's Academy. In just two days, tens of thousands of practice question sets have sold out, with demand exceeding supply.

Out-of-town booksellers held up silver notes, begging the imperial bookstores to print more, and the booksellers would buy them all; it was quite a lively scene.

At the Prince's residence, while Xiao Zhixing was having breakfast, he noticed Bai Su appearing in the courtyard with a pale face and large dark circles under her eyes. She hesitated for a long time before stepping into the house.

"Your Highness..." Bai Su wanted to cry again. Her Xiao Jiu was gone, and she didn't dare to reveal a word to the live stream. She didn't know how much the prince could see, or when he started to be able to see.

She didn't sleep a wink last night, spending all her time trying to recall whether she had said anything inappropriate or dissed her boss.

Waaah, she chickened out. A wise person knows when to yield. In order to go back, she had to accept this fact.

She also had to cling to the prince's coattails, working tirelessly without expecting anything in return to accumulate merit.

Waaaaah, so tragic! The thought of it filled her with despair.

Xiao Zhixing glanced at her indifferently and said to Hongmei, "From now on, Bai Su will be treated as a first-class maid and become my personal female physician."

The other maids were surprised. When did Bai Su catch the prince's eye?

The live stream was even more inexplicable.

[Yellow comment: Ah, wasn't our Su Su always invisible? When did the prince notice her?]

[Red comment: So what happened last night?]

[Green comment: Pfft, hahaha, not that I'm overthinking it, but if you replaced the prince with a man, wouldn't this sound like a scene from an ancient romance novel?]

[Yellow comment: Uh, a maidservant caught the master's eye, and he forcibly took her or something?]

[Red comment: So everyone's reading the same novel across dimensions!]

[Green comment: Don't be so rigid about genders, our Prince Yuansheng and Bai Su also have chemistry.]

The comments section immediately went off-topic.

Bai Su: Waaah, I'm even more heartbroken now, she has no one to confide in! And you guys, if you knew the prince could see the comments, you'd be scared to death!

She thought about it all night and realized that the prince truly deserves to be the female lead of this world, which is probably why she was able to see the live stream.

What terrified her even more was that the prince had been secretly observing them for so long without showing any sign of anything amiss. Now, even the rules and laws of this plane were helping her, driving away Xiao Jiu.

Waaaaah, I'm going to break!

Xiao Zhixing had no time to pay attention to Bai Su's ramblings. After finishing breakfast, he took Shi Jiaowu, her older brother Shi Dawu, and Bai Mei and Mo Mei to Anqing Temple outside Shengjing City.

The group rode horses at a fast pace and arrived at their destination an hour later.

Buddhism and Taoism flourished during the Great Sheng period, and the two were basically evenly matched. However, Anqing Temple was very popular because it was close to the capital, and even on ordinary days, countless people would come to offer incense.

"Not here?" Upon asking, they found out the person wasn't there.

"Yes, Your Highness, my grandmaster has been away from the temple for over a year, traveling the world," Abbot Changqing replied with a smile.

Do you know his whereabouts?

The abbot of Changqing Temple shook his head, "Our grandmaster's whereabouts are uncertain, and we have no way of knowing where he has gone."

Xiao Zhixing nodded at him, his tone calm, "Alright, then you send a letter to your grandmaster, telling him that I, Xiao Zhixing, am waiting for him in Beizhou. If I don't see him within half a year, I will send people to smash up Anqing Temple."

Six months is enough time for them to reconnect; she is still very open-minded.

Abbot Changqing looked distressed. "Well, I will contact him as soon as possible, but I dare not say whether he will come or not."

Xiao Zhixing smiled and said, "Tell him that his apprentice, Luo Wei, has offended me. There is a cause for every grievance, and since I can't find my apprentice, I have no choice but to seek out his master. This will let him know that I am not an unreasonable person."

Wu Xu was one of the few peak level three Heavenly Realm experts on the Qian Yuan Continent; otherwise, she wouldn't have been so polite.

The abbot of Changqing Temple stiffened, then bowed deeply with a somber expression. "Yes, I will certainly convey this to my master."

Xiao Zhixing sized him up. "The abbot should know Luo Wei. Tell me what kind of person he is?"

The abbot of Changqing Temple looked somewhat uneasy. "When Master Luo entered the Daoist sect, I was just a novice, so I don't know him very well."

"Is that so?" Xiao Zhixing pointed to the statue of the Three Pure Ones. "Would the Abbot repeat these words again in front of your patriarch?"
