Chapter 106: I am ashamed of my acting skills. I am really afraid that she will get confused in a fit of excitement.

When Xie Jianjia opened her eyes again, she was in a room in an unknown location.

Her hands and feet were tied and she was thrown on a brocade silk quilt.

The antique room was simply decorated with golden lamps and incense burners, and wisps of green smoke filled the air.

Looking out the window, I could see that it was dark outside.

"Where is this?"

Her heart sank and she tried to break free from the ropes, but she found that the rope was a magical weapon and she couldn't break free from it at all.

At this moment, he seemed to sense the movement in the room.

A graceful figure pushed the door open and walked in. Xie Jianjia remained calm on the surface, but when she looked up, she was stunned.

"woman?"

The visitor was wearing a slightly loose moon-white robe, which could not hide her graceful figure.

She was wearing a veil, so her facial features could not be seen clearly. She had jade pendants on her ears that swayed gently and jingled as she walked. There was a simple wooden hairpin inserted diagonally in her hair, and his eyes were filled with interest as he looked at her.

"woke up?"

Song Youwei looked at Xie Jianjia and was somewhat surprised at her calmness.

According to her investigation, this young lady of the Xie family has been famous since childhood and has amazing talent. She was even given the name of Phoenix by Emperor Xia and was called Princess Xia Huang.

In this situation, even though his cultivation has been lost, he still maintains his composure, which is truly extraordinary.

"Who are you? It was you who knocked me unconscious and kidnapped me from in front of the Heavenly Supervisor? Do you know what the consequences of this crime are?" Xie Jianjia spoke calmly, her expression was elegant and cold, and she didn't seem panicked at all.

Song Youwei looked at her and chuckled, "You are interesting to try to threaten me in this situation."

"But you don't have to worry. The person who ordered me to kidnap you will be here soon."

Xie Jianjia's heart sank.

She didn't know this strange woman, but she must be extremely powerful to be able to take her away silently under the eyes of so many powerful people.

And this mysterious woman in front of her was just following orders...

"It was Jiang Lan, the son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, who ordered you to kidnap me?"

Xie Jianjia asked, her hands bound behind her back involuntarily clenched, her heart sinking.

She had already guessed this possibility just now. The people in the Prime Minister's Mansion were actually divided into two groups.

One group attracted everyone's attention in public, while the other group approached secretly and kidnapped her when everyone was not paying attention.

Xiao Teng is indeed unreliable.

"You'll see it soon." Song Youwei restrained the expression on her face, walked over, and helped her sit on the edge of the bed.

Although Xie Jianjia tried her best to remain calm and composed, many thoughts were churning in her mind as she thought about countermeasures and opportunities to escape.

According to rumors, Jiang Lan had never practiced cultivation before. Even if he had the opportunity to practice cultivation during this period, it was impossible for him to have very strong strength in such a short time.

So even though her current cultivation was sealed, it didn't mean that she had no means to deal with it...

After all, her most powerful means is her soul.

Jiang Lan probably didn't expect that she could still use the secret method of soul in this situation.

The only thing to worry about right now is the powerful and mysterious woman in front of him.

But if Jiang Lan wanted to take her essence and use the Immortal Phoenix Blood in her body for himself, he would definitely not have anyone guarding by his side. As long as the two of them were alone, she would have the opportunity to take action and control Jiang Lan with secret methods...

Xie Jianjia immediately thought of a way to deal with the situation in her mind, breathed a sigh of relief, and finally was not as panicked as before.

Song Youwei noticed Xie Jianjia's mood change, and a strange look flashed in her eyes, but then she thought of something and a slight smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

At this moment, she seemed to sense something, opened the door and walked out.

This is her temporary residence in Jingyang City. It is very safe and she doesn't have to worry about being discovered.

She had already informed him of the message through the identity token left by Jiang Lan.

There were several bamboos planted in the quiet courtyard. The night wind blew, making rustling sounds. A figure in white appeared among them without anyone noticing.

"Young Master..." Song Youwei went forward to greet him.

Jiang Lan waved his hand and said, "You did a good job. The efficiency is much faster than I expected."

He had already learned the whole story from his father Jiang Lintian, and he really believed in Song Youwei's ability.

After all, at this stage, as a demon girl of the Blood Fairy Sect, her strength is far behind that of other geniuses of her generation. Only a few people like Li Mengning can compare with her.

However, in order to prevent any accidents, he still had a backup plan, but Song Youwei did not use it.

"This is the blood puppet orb left by the young master, which was not used at that time." Song Youwei said. A flash of blood appeared in her white hand, and a crystal clear blood-colored bead emerged.

Jiang Lan just glanced at it and said, "You don't have to return it to me. Since it's given to you, there's no point in taking it back."

"You can keep it for your own protection."

After all, the Blood Puppet Orb was an item condensed by him, so he could control it even in Song Youwei's hands.

Through the existence of the Wanling Blood Puppet, he can also vaguely sense the location of Song Youwei through the Blood Puppet Orb.

It’s not that he is so generous. After all, he had considered this point when he gave the Blood Puppet Orb to Song Youwei. If she had any second thoughts, he would be able to detect it in time and stop the loss.

"Thank you, sir." Song Youwei did not refuse.

"Xie Jianjia is now in the side room. I have tied her up with the spirit binding rope. She has no cultivation power in her body now, so she can't break free."

Jiang Lan walked in and immediately saw Xie Jianjia sitting on the edge of the bed, unable to move.

"It's you..."

Xie Jianjia was not surprised at all to see him come in. Her face, which was cool yet elegant, revealed coldness and disgust.

Song Youwei waved her jade hand, and the ropes that bound her hands and feet turned into a stream of light and flew back into her sleeves.

She wisely did not stay here, but retreated and closed the door.

"Is this difficult to guess?" Jiang Lan walked towards her leisurely.

Xie Jianjia did not hide her disgust on her face and said, "Don't even think about touching me. I will never help you even if I die."

Jiang Lan smiled, looked down at her calmly, and said, "You don't have any cultivation at all now, are you sure you can kill yourself?"

He could clearly sense that from the moment he stepped into the room, Xie Jianjia had been cooperating with him in her acting. Although she seemed cold and disgusted on the surface, she was actually extremely calm and composed in her heart.

All I can say is that she is worthy of being the witch who has Xiao Teng and the Xie family under her control. Her acting skills make Jiang Lan feel a little inferior.

Xie Jianjia seemed to be stagnant, looked at him coldly, and said, "What's the problem with the Zhenzhen Guixi Pill you left behind? Why can't I use my cultivation?"

This is a question she has been pondering over, but cannot figure out.

Xiao Teng had clearly taken the pill to the National Master and others for inspection and identification, and there was nothing wrong with it.

But why did she fall for it?

Jiang Lan said calmly, "Want to know?"

Xie Jianjia said with cold disgust, "I don't want to know. I just think you are despicable and shameless."

Jiang Lan smiled faintly and said, "If you don't want to know, why ask me?"

The reason why the Huanzhen Turtle Breath Pill can conceal the breath and secrets is because the medicinal materials used to refine it contain the true blood and tortoise shell of a ten thousand year old black tortoise, which is a racial talent.

The reason why it cannot be refined now is that the main ingredients are scarce and the recipe was destroyed by the Black Turtle Clan.

Jiang Lan has inherited the Four Saints Ancient Heavenly Skills.

He integrated a wisp of the Black Tortoise's divine form into the Huanzhen Turtle Breath Pill, eliminating the remaining Black Tortoise aura in it.

The blood aura of Xuanwu is far more noble and heavy than that of Xuangui.

Not to mention Ge Qixing, an outsider, even Xiao Yingyue might not be able to see the clues. She could only guess that the main material for refining the Huanzhen Guixi Pill was far more precious than ordinary materials.

In other words, after Xie Jianjia swallowed the Huanzhen Guixi Pill, her cultivation strength was already under Jiang Lan's control.

Jiang Lan can allow her to recover her cultivation, or he can seal her cultivation with just a thought and make her become an ordinary person like she is now.

Of course, unless Xie Jianjia's cultivation strength far exceeds his one day and she is able to refine and break that trace of the Black Tortoise divine form, her cultivation strength will always be under the control and manipulation of Jiang Lan.

Xie Jianjia gritted her teeth, she didn't expect Jiang Lan to not be fooled.

She originally thought that Jiang Lan would be easier to fool than Xiao Teng, but now she found that things were completely different from what she thought.

"Miss Xie is a smart person. I explained everything very clearly in the prison of the Heavenly Guards that day, but you ignored me."

"Who do you expect to save you in this place? Your lover, Brother Xiao Teng?"

Jiang Lan walked over and pinched her chin.

The skin, which was originally as white as jade, suddenly had a blue and red mark.

Xie Jianjia's face was filled with shame, anger and coldness, and she wanted to turn her head away.

Jiang Lan pinched her chin hard, asked her to turn her head, and said, "Look at me."

Xie Jianjia had a cold expression and said nothing.

That mysterious woman is definitely still outside the house, so it is not a good time for her to take action.

She clenched her jade hands tightly, and endless cold murderous intent emerged in her heart. No one had ever dared to treat her like this, whether in her previous life or this life.

"When you were in prison, you were obedient and agreed to my requests. Why did you end up like this now?"

Jiang Lan stretched out his hand and looked down at her calmly, as if he wanted to take in all the shame, anger and coldness on her face.

Xie Jianjia was trembling all over, her delicate hands tightly grasping the silk quilt, her face turning pale from squeezing too tightly.

"Unfortunately, your brother Xiao Teng is not here now."

"Otherwise, I would like to show him what the attitude of the woman he admires and likes is like now."

Jiang Lan didn't expect that this guy could be so patient.

As a former powerful ancient demon, even if his cultivation was sealed, he is still not something that ordinary people can deal with.

He knew exactly what other tricks Xie Jianjia had up her sleeve.

"Master Jiang, why do you have to embarrass a weak woman like me? Now, my Xie family has been demoted because of offending you. My father and brother's cultivation has been abolished and they have been exiled to the border areas. Without cultivation, I don't know when I will die in that desolate and dangerous area..."

"Although I have preserved my cultivation, I am no different from a weak woman now."

"My Xie family has never offended Young Master Jiang before, but now we have incurred such an unexpected disaster..."

"Please let me go, Master Jiang..."

Seeing that Jiang Lan seemed to be becoming more and more outrageous and unscrupulous.

Xie Jianjia originally had a cold and disgusted look on her face, but now she seemed to finally become afraid and terrified because of the dangerous situation before her, and was no longer as calm and composed as before.

She huddled in the corner of the bed, hugging the brocade quilt tightly, as if this was the only way she could find a sense of security.

"Let you go?"

"Do you think it's possible?"

"I spent such a precious pill, but now I have nothing in return, and you want me to let you go?" Jiang Lan sneered, looking at a fool.

"Master Jiang, please..."

"If you want the Immortal Phoenix Blood in my body, I will give it to you. Please let me go..."

Xie Jianjia's voice began to tremble, and tears seemed to well up in the corners of her eyes. She was extremely scared and terrified.

"Oh? Didn't you just look like you would rather die than surrender?"

"You give in now? That's really boring." Jiang Lan said with interest.

Xie Jianjia also knew that her transformation seemed to be a little too fast, but she still said with a trembling voice, "That day in the prison of Jiantian Division, I wanted to agree to Master Jiang, but because Brother Xiao Teng was there, I was worried that he would look down on me after I agreed, so I resisted the urge to agree..."

"I also want to save my father and brother, as well as the Xie family. The Xie family can't afford to offend the Prime Minister's Mansion, but Brother Xiao Teng doesn't like me being like this..."

As she spoke, her voice began to sound like tears.

The tears at the corners of her eyes, like pearls with broken strings, kept rolling down her fair and smooth face.

"If you had said so earlier, why would I have wasted so much time? Why would your Xie family have ended up in this situation?"

Jiang Lan felt a little sorry for her when he saw her like this. He sighed slightly and said helplessly.

Xie Jianjia hugged the silk quilt, buried her head and sobbed. Hearing this, she seemed to be very regretful.

"Mr. Jiang, can you take back your order and let the Xie family go?"

Suddenly, her voice became much lower and sounded very weak, like a pitiful little flower.

Because of her question, Jiang Lan fell into deep thought.

"It's not impossible to take back the order, but it depends on how you perform..." he said.

"Yeah?"

Xie Jianjia seemed to be surprised by these words. She raised her face, which still had traces of tears and looked pitiful and tearful, and looked at Jiang Lan.

"Mr. Jiang, am I beautiful?" she asked bluntly.

Jiang Lan seemed to look at her subconsciously because of these words, but saw that Xie Jianjia's weak sobbing appearance just now disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by coldness.

Those eyes, which seemed to be filled with autumn water, were filled with a deep chill, and there was a misty purple fog lingering in them, making them magnificent and strange.

"beautiful……"

Jiang Lan murmured subconsciously.

"In this case, Master Jiang, you must promise me that you will protect me well."

"good……"

The purple halo in Xie Jianjia's eyes became increasingly intense, as if a purple moon was rising in them, blazing and dazzling.

Even the long black hair behind her began to dance wildly.

Through the golden lamp in the house, her shadow can be seen on the wall, as if there are demons dancing wildly, and many terrifying and strange scenes emerge.

Xie Jianjia's face became paler, but the purple light in her eyes became brighter.

Her cheekbones also glowed faintly, with purple light interweaving in them. A purple light flashed between her eyebrows and quickly rushed towards Jiang Lan's eyebrows.

The reason for doing this just now was to make Jiang Lan relax his vigilance and prevent the mysterious woman guarding outside the door from becoming suspicious.

Although Jiang Lan was not as easy to fool as Xiao Teng, fortunately her plan had succeeded.

Next, as long as she could successfully use her soul to leave a secret slave seal in Jiang Lan's sea of ​​consciousness, then from now on, if she wanted Jiang Lan to go east, he would not go west, and she would have an extra slave who was the young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Xie Jianjia was in a good mood. She felt that her previous endurance was totally worth it. So what if she let him take advantage of her?

After the slave mark is planted, he must be made to pay the price and know the consequences of disrespecting his body.

Now she just needs to be careful. With her secret magic of the demon clan, it is not difficult to avoid the secret treasure on Jiang Lan's body that protects his soul and sea of ​​consciousness.

Xie Jianjia's soul was extremely powerful. Although it was not even one percent of what it was at its peak, it still looked demonic. It was wrapped in a cloud of purple mist and rushed straight into Jiang Lan's sea of ​​consciousness.

BANG!!! However, the next moment, the scene that Xie Jianjia expected did not appear.

In Jiang Lan's deep and vast Niwan Palace, a huge bony hand that covered the sky and the sun just crossed over, as if it had fallen from another dimension. The breath was surging and terrifying, and it whistled directly towards her face.

"How is it possible..."

Her face changed and she tried to dodge.

However, in this Niwan Palace, the shadows of the four saints from ancient times appeared. They transformed into a white tiger, a red bird, a black tortoise, and a real dragon. They pounced towards her, shining with light, brilliant and sacred, as if they had really come alive from the long river of time.

The four saintly shadows surrounded and guarded the little soul standing in the Soul Palace, like an ancient emperor in ancient times who patrolled the world and overlooked the world.

With a wave of his hand, the four saintly figures rushed over to kill him.

The huge bony hands also grasped towards her, and in the void, a long, silent and waveless blood river appeared. The blood river rolled back, suddenly raising huge waves and drowning her.

“I actually fell into the trap…”

"I was tricked by him. This guy is not an ordinary person at all. His strength is so terrifying."

Xie Jianjia's expression changed drastically. Behind her soul, which was obscured and wrapped in purple mist, a vague and powerful demon shadow emerged, with three heads and six arms, and each arm held a different weapon.

The three heads were very similar to her soul in appearance, but only the middle one had its eyes open. It looked indifferent and violent, like a demon looking down on all living beings.

Duh…

The demon shadow let out a strange and terrifying shout, as if trying to suppress the four saints' phantoms, but it was of no use and could not stop them at all.

The demon shadow could only pounce and kill, using its six arms to wield different weapons, including an ancient sword, a magic lamp, an ancient tower... and entangled with the four saints' phantoms, its soul light surging and constantly blurring.

Xie Jianjia was unable to dodge and was hit directly by the huge white bone hand. Half of her soul was shattered and her face turned pale.

She understood immediately that Jiang Lan was not fooled by her at all.

Instead, it was her soul that entered Jiang Lan's Niwan Palace because of his conspiracy.

This situation was very unfavorable for her. Even though her soul was powerful, she could not exert her maximum strength in someone else's Niwan Palace.

What's more, Jiang Lan's soul was much more powerful than she had imagined, not to mention the many terrifying methods he had.

This place is his Niwan Palace, where he has a huge innate advantage.

Chi, chi, chi…

Jiang Lan's spirit figure had an indifferent look in his eyes. Seeing Xie Jianjia retreating, he wanted to quickly escape from the Niwan Palace.

The brilliant and dazzling icy sword energy whistled across the space.

Behind the little soul figure, it seemed that an ancient secret treasure of swordsmanship was opened, and phantoms of divine swords appeared one after another, and sword energy covered the sky.

With a clear shout, it swept across the sky and earth, completely blocking Xie Jianjia's retreat route.

"Jiang Lan, you actually hid it so deeply..."

Xie Jianjia had nowhere to retreat. A look of determination flashed across her face as she shouted coldly. Her long black hair began to flutter as lines of magic patterns appeared on her face.

Her spiritual aura continued to rise and change, as if there was a ball of blazing fire floating in her body.

However, Jiang Lan seemed to have expected that she would have such a method. When Xie Jianjia stopped in place and her breath rose, the silently flowing river of blood suddenly appeared behind her silently.

A wave of blood was sweeping in the air, with corpses floating up and down. One blood-colored chain after another flew out from it and suddenly wrapped around her soul.

Xie Jianjia was totally unprepared for this scene and instantly became unable to move.

The next moment, phantoms of sword energy came whizzing over, one after another, piercing through her figure and nailing her directly in mid-air.

"This is……"

"The inheritance of the Blood Immortal Cult?"

Xie Jianjia's face changed again and again, and her mind and soul were seriously broken.

She was even more shocked and unbelievable than before. She had never seen anyone from the Blood Immortal Sect, but she had learned a little about it from some records in ancient books.

She really didn't expect that Jiang Lan, the son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, would actually inherit the Blood Immortal Sect.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Are you still going to try to resist?" Jiang Lan floated over and landed beside her.

Xie Jianjia is now truly a fish on the chopping board, at his mercy.

Even if Jiang Lan had the current spiritual strength and means, he would not easily take the risk of letting her release her sea of ​​consciousness to plant the slave mark.

Xie Jianjia herself is an ancient powerful demon who has lived for many years and has many means at her disposal.

Even if Jiang Lan knew the original plot, he could not guarantee that he was fully aware of Xie Jianjia's cards.

So he could only lure her first, letting her soul leave her body and come to her own Niwan Palace.

He had already deployed many methods here, and could be said to have all the innate advantages.

"You knew I would take action and were prepared long ago?"

Xie Jianjia slumped down, she no longer had the will to resist.

Most of her soul was destroyed and she was seriously injured. Even if she tried her best to return to her body, it would be useless.

With Jiang Lan's strength, he was able to forcibly break open her Niwan Palace.

"Your cultivation has been sealed. Your only means and reliance is the powerful soul that you have left."

"As an ancient powerful demon, do you think I will be on guard against you, Ye Shiyan..." Jiang Lan smiled faintly.

Xie Jianjia was still a little stunned by what he said.

But when he mentioned the ancient powerful demon and the name Ye Shiyan, her expression suddenly changed, and her face was full of disbelief and horror.

How many years has it been? How many years has it been since she last heard this name?

How did Jiang Lan know her name? "Who... who are you?"

"How do you know all this?" Xie Jianjia, no, she should be called Ye Shiyan at this time.

Her face was filled with horror and her soul was trembling slightly.

Since Jiang Lan mentioned this name, it means that he already knew her identity a long time ago, and it is impossible to hide it now.

"When Xie Jianjia was seven years old, you used the Phoenix Clan's inheritance as bait to lure her away, and then took her body in the Fallen Phoenix Cave."

"Over the years, you have been keeping to yourself and playing the role of Xie Jianjia honestly, hoping to return to the top one day in the future."

Jiang Lan ignored her and continued talking to himself.

Ye Shiyan was even more horrified, as she thought she had never revealed any flaws.

No one, including Xie Jianjia's family, had ever doubted her identity.

But these secrets were revealed by Jiang Lan.

"How do you know all this?" She trembled, with a huge wave of emotion in her heart.

"You don't have to care how I know this. You just need to know that if you serve me, you can live longer."

Jiang Lan still had a faint smile on his face.

Ye Shiyan looked at him, her heart filled with chills. It was not until this moment that she finally understood why Jiang Lan did all this.

What he wanted was not the Immortal Phoenix blood in his body at all, what he wanted was his entire body.

"You are a smart person and you know how to choose."

"However, my patience has always been poor." Jiang Lan said.

Ye Shiyan did not remain silent for long.

She really didn't want to die, otherwise why would her remaining soul struggle and linger in the Fallen Phoenix Cave for so many years.

At the moment, Jiang Lan would not give her any room for choice.

The next moment, she closed her eyes and let go of all her vigilance and resistance.

Seeing that she was so tactful, Jiang Lan nodded with satisfaction. A wave of blood rushed over, splashing a small blood-red flower between her eyebrows, and then disappeared.

A feeling of being able to control Ye Shiyan's life and death at any time emerged in Jiang Lan's heart.

Until this moment, his goal was finally achieved.

In the side room, Ye Shiyan, with her hair disheveled and sweat on her face, opened her eyes, looking a little tired.

Although life and death were under Jiang Lan's control, she could indeed feel the long-lost aura of cultivation at this moment.

Above the Spirit Sea, the phantom of the divine turtle opened its mouth wide, and all the surging and majestic magic power was returned, which began to nourish the already somewhat dried up Spirit Sea.

In the void, rich spiritual energy swarmed in and kept flowing through her meridians, limbs and bones.

She also took this opportunity to start healing her injured soul.

Jiang Lan watched her recover from the side, but he was thinking about other things.

After subduing Ye Shiyan, a lot of luck surged into the Niwan Palace again. The color of the Life Fruit became deeper, and some new green leaves grew on the ancient vine, sparkling and juicy.

Although Ye Shiyan did not surrender sincerely and still resisted, this did not affect his ability to plunder a large amount of luck from him.

With such a chess piece, it will be much easier to deal with Xiao Teng and the National Master.

"There should be a jade talisman connecting you and Xiao Teng."

"Tell him the news that you've been rescued so he doesn't have to worry." Jiang Lan looked at Ye Shiyan and said.

Ye Shiyan opened his eyes, a little confused, but did not ask any more questions. He took out a jade talisman from his arms.

"Then who saved me?" she asked.

"A force called the Naxian League." Jiang Lan said.

Naxian League? In all the years that Ye Shiyan had been in the imperial capital, he had never heard of this force.

But now that Jiang Lan asked her to say so, she tactfully did not ask any more questions.

As for what Jiang Lan was planning, she didn't care. Her life and death were in his control, so she just listened to his orders and did what she was supposed to do.

Ye Shiyan's mentality changed quickly, and she soon contacted Xiao Teng through the communication jade talisman, and told Jiang Lan about her own situation as instructed by Jiang Lan.

Outside Jingyang City that day, she was knocked unconscious and taken away to a very remote mountain villa. She is fine now, so he doesn't need to worry.

In addition, the situation in Jingyang City was unclear, so he was asked not to leak the news so that the two of them would not be able to meet.

At the very end, the mysterious force of Naxian League is mentioned.

Jiang Lan was quite satisfied with Ye Shiyan's tactfulness.

"You stay here for the time being. I will let Song Youwei tell you if I have any instructions." Jiang Lan had no intention of staying any longer.

Ye Shiyan is a chess piece that is related to his next plan, and he has other things to do at the moment.

Upon hearing this, Ye Shiyan nodded perfunctorily. Seeing that he was about to leave, she breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, it was the first time she felt such great pressure in front of someone.

She wanted to sort out what happened tonight and take some time to calm down.

Song Youwei, who had been waiting in the courtyard outside, had no idea what was going on and wisely did not investigate.

When Jiang Lan pushed the door open and left, she stood up from the pavilion and greeted him, "Sir..."

"In the next few days, you go find the people from the Blood Immortal Sect and deliberately spread the news that Emperor Xia is a girl." Jiang Lan looked at her and said.

Song Youwei was stunned.

Spread the news that the current Emperor Xia is a woman? "Yes, sir." She did not ask the reason.

In fact, there have been quite a few speculations about this in the past few years, but as the power of the current Emperor Xia has become increasingly unfathomable, these speculations and rumors have become less and less.

The royal family was about to go on a hunt in the south, but Jiang Lan deliberately asked her to find someone to spread such news? Why? Moreover, Emperor Xia was a girl, was this true or false? If it was true, then things would be interesting.

…

Zhenbei Palace.

In a quiet courtyard.

Feeling dejected and frustrated, Xiao Teng sat there alone, drinking one glass of wine after another with a sad face. The maid beside him kept trying to persuade him, but it was of no use.

During the day, I understood from my father, Xiao He, the King of Zhenbei, that things were a foregone conclusion and difficult to change.

Xiao Teng went crazy and rushed to the back mountain to vent his anger there. After returning to the Zhenbei Palace, he went back to the yard and asked the maid to get some wine. He drank alone from noon until night.

He didn't have the strength to break into the Prime Minister's Mansion, and his conscience wouldn't allow him to involve the Zhenbei Palace.

He only hated his own weakness, Jiang Lan's arrogance and strength, and he hated himself for not being able to protect Xie Jianjia...

"This is……"

But at this moment, Xiao Teng suddenly felt a wave of spiritual energy coming from his chest.

He was subconsciously stunned, and then realized that it was Xie Jianjia's communication jade talisman. He had kept it close to him all the time, fearing that he would lose it and not know her message.

But why would she suddenly send a message to me now?

suddenly……

Xiao Teng thought of a possibility, and his head immediately buzzed and became hot. His face turned red like a cooked crab because of extreme anger.

He just felt a green area above his head.

It must be that evil villain Jiang Lan who was determined to humiliate me and asked Xie Jianjia to send a message to me at this time.

In the dead of night, on the soft couch...

Xiao Teng didn't dare to think about it anymore. He took out the communication jade talisman with his trembling hands, took a few deep breaths, forced himself to calm down, and then looked with his spiritual sense.

Then... the whole person was stunned.

"What?"

"Is Jianjia okay?"

Xiao Teng couldn't believe his eyes. He looked at it over and over again before he was finally sure.

"That's great. It's really great."

Xiao Teng's mood, which had been depressed for the whole day, suddenly became clear at this moment.

The whole person's dejection was swept away, and an excited smile appeared on his face.

The maids who were serving on the side were all shocked when they saw this. They didn't know what the Third Young Master had seen that made him so happy.

"Father is trying to find a solution for me. I must tell him the news."

"It seems that the appearance of the Xiangguo Mansion is not pretended, but because someone intercepted it..."

Xiao Teng hurriedly got up, left the courtyard and went to look for his father.

On the other side, Xiao He, who was in the study, was flipping through some books with the help of Mingzhu's light, but his brows were furrowed and it was obvious that his mind was not here.

He was also troubled by the Xiao Teng incident.

During the day, he had gone to look for the national teacher Ge Qixing, but even Ge Qixing had no good solution at the moment.

Even if they knew Xie Jianjia was in the Xiangguo Mansion, who would dare to go and ask for her without evidence? The Xie family's previous experience was still before them.

But now, Xiao He was also thinking, if he could help Xiao Teng solve this problem, how would his mother feel and how would she be grateful to him when she knew about this?

After all, even Ge Qixing, the biological father, was helpless in this matter.

"I treat Teng'er as my own daughter. She must have seen my feelings for her over the years..."

Xiao He shook his head. Although he was the King of Zhenbei and held a high position of power, he actually had a hurdle in his heart that he couldn't overcome.

A hero is always tempted by a beautiful woman, isn't he the same? "Father..."

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door and Xiao Teng hurried over.

Because Xiao He respected and loved him, when he came to see Xiao He, he often didn't need the servants' permission and could go in directly.

"What's up, Teng'er? Why are you so happy?" Xiao He asked in surprise. During the day, Xiao Teng was still depressed.

Why are you suddenly so excited?

"Father, this is what happened. Jianjia sent me a message and told me her current situation..." Xiao Teng briefly told him the whole story.

Mainly, he didn't know about the Naxian League and had never heard of it before, so he wanted to ask his father to see if he knew about it.

"I see."

"It seems that Jiang Lintian looked so bad today and questioned His Majesty many times during the court session because of this reason. I thought he was acting, but it seems that he was really angry..."

A smile appeared on Xiao He's face, he had already guessed the truth of the matter.

During the court session, many people thought that the Prime Minister was acting and was deliberately trying to disgust Emperor Xia. Emperor Xia did seem to be very angry at the time, but he did not lose his temper because of the emperor's appearance.

It seems that Emperor Xia's acting skills are improving day by day.

"Father, have you heard of the Naxian League?"

"How come I have never heard of this in all these years in the imperial capital?" Xiao Teng asked.

Xiao He looked at him and said, "Regarding Jianjia's current whereabouts, you must remember not to spread the news. As for the power of the Naxian League, you must not mention it to anyone."

"I think Jianjia told you about the existence of the Naxian League in order to reassure you."

After hearing this, Xiao Teng finally felt relieved.

My father said this with a mysterious look on his face, which obviously meant that the origin of the Naxian League was unusual.

"So, Jianjia is safe now, right?" Xiao Teng asked.

"The Naxian League is indeed a mysterious force, and not many people know about it at present."

"But it may be related to that place. Jianjia is naturally very safe there..."

Xiao He nodded, then pointed toward the sky meaningfully.

Xiao Teng was stunned for a moment, then he understood and a smile appeared on his face.

"Now that Jian Jia is fine, I can focus all my attention on the important matters ahead..."

…

Inside the Prime Minister’s Mansion.

The next morning.

As usual, a night of practice ended.

Jiang Lan had breakfast with her parents.

During the meal, Jiang Lintian took the initiative to mention Xie Jianjia's matter.

"According to the information sent back by the spies, the third son of the Zhenbei King, Xiao Teng, should have known that Xie Jianjia is in the hands of the royal family."

"Yesterday in the court, Emperor Xia pretended to be ignorant of the matter." He still had anger on his face about this matter.

Li Qingshu said, "In that case, my husband should go to the court today and ask Emperor Xia for the person. If he refuses, then let the Zhenbei Palace accompany Xie Qing's family."

Jiang Lan drank tea silently on the side.

Hearing this, he interrupted at the right time and said, "Mother, the King of Zhenbei holds military power, which is not comparable to Xie Qing's family. To me, Xie Jianjia is actually not that important. It doesn't matter whether she exists or not."

"After all, my father is in the wrong in this matter. If he attacks the King of Zhenbei again, it may cause panic in the court."

"The royal family is about to go on a hunt in the south. This is a matter of great Xia's reputation. At this juncture, it is not appropriate to argue with the royal family."

After all, Xie Jianjia was in his hands, and only she knew the grievances and injustices in Emperor Xia's heart.

If his father pushed him too far, Emperor Xia would feel that the Prime Minister's Mansion was going too far and that even a rabbit would bite when it was cornered.

Although Emperor Xia could endure it, it was the critical moment of the Southern Hunt. If the various immortal sects saw this scene, they would only think that she was incompetent, and the royal family members would also think that she had brought shame to the royal family.

Jiang Lan was really afraid that she would become confused and impulsive, disregarding the overall situation and fighting to the death with the Prime Minister's Mansion, thus disrupting many of his subsequent arrangements.

In the original plot, Emperor Xia's character was somewhat crazy and morbid...

"Lan'er is right. It's just Xie Jianjia. It's not worth arguing with the royal family again."

"It's just that Emperor Xia seems to be gaining strength now, and he dares to do these little tricks under my nose..."

Jiang Lintian also nodded, his eyes lost in thought.

After hearing this, Li Qingshu gave up. She didn't care about the situation in Da Xia.

But when they thought about the request that Jiang Lan had taken the initiative to make, but they failed to do it, they felt a little guilty.
