She does not have the ability to fight the emperor now. If no one helps her, she will be kidnapped and taken back to the capital within five days, and her life or death is uncertain. Instead of that, it is better for her to go back with Bai Hengqiu. Going to Liuzhou can provide some relief, but if she has some power in the capital, it will not be difficult to deal with the emperor in the future.
Bai Hengqiu seemed to be thinking of someone. He sighed and muttered something, then let Lin Jiuxi go and tell Xuchun to get up and pack up, not paying any attention to the master and servant who were following behind with their bags on their backs.
"In the future I will be Miss Bai, do you know?" Lin Jiuxi turned his head and told Xuchun in a low voice. The little girl was very smart and didn't say anything she shouldn't say. She just nodded seriously and didn't ask who was walking in front of her so casually.
Lin Jiuxi originally thought that Bai Hengqiu would go directly to see the emperor this time, but as the roads on both ends became more and more familiar, she suddenly had a bad feeling: "Master Bai, where are we going?"
Without even turning his head, Bai Hengqiu's warm fingertips caressed the hilt of the sword, his eyes were exceptionally clear, "Linglong Pavilion."
Linglong Pavilion.
Lin Jiuxi's face turned pale instantly. She had only been out there for two days, and she had extorted Linglong before leaving. Now that she was going back, wouldn't she have to return all the gold and silver to her? Although these things were gifts from Linglong, anyone would feel pain in their hearts to take them out again, not to mention that these were all life-saving money.
"Look at my mood. I might shake it all out one day." Linglong said as she pulled the shawl. The gauze draped over her wrist rose briefly, blurring Linglong's appearance, and then fell back into her arms.

The next morning, Lin Jiuxi asked Linglong for a set of clothes used by the embroiderers in Linglong Pavilion. This set of clothes had a veil, and according to the rules of Linglong Pavilion, the veil could not be taken off under any circumstances, which made it convenient for her to do things.
When meeting Linglong's eyes, Lin Jiuxi felt his whole body tremble, then he pretended not to know her and turned his head away. He was about to follow Bai Hengqiu, but was stopped by Linglong.
"I told him my maiden name is Bai Que, so don't call him the wrong name." Before leaving, Lin Jiuxi turned his head and whispered softly. Linglong was slightly stunned, then the corners of her lips raised with a hint of frivolity.
To the emperor, she was just a weak spot next to Nangong Jing. Apart from being used to threaten Nangong Jing, she was almost useless.
"Xuchun, I'm going to go out for a while. You stay in Linglong Pavilion and don't walk around." Lin Jiuxi was cautious. It was impossible for Biyun to disappear from the world in just a few days. She might be locked up somewhere by Linglong. She must be resentful, so it's better to be on guard early.
Because of this, Lin Jiuxi knew that he must not become Nangong Jing's weakness, and even had to become his sharp weapon.
"Bai Hengqiu, I think this girl is very interesting. Why don't you let me chat with her alone?" Although Linglong asked this question, it did not mean to inquire. She just grabbed Lin Jiuxi's wrist and dragged her into another warm room.
Or maybe he could learn some inferior tricks from the emperor, learning the foreigners' strengths in order to defeat them. That's all.
Lin Jiuxi glanced at Bai Hengqiu, then weighed the silver with satisfaction. Xuchun said this deliberately for him to hear. The origin of the silver was unknown, but Bai Hengqiu did not get to the bottom of it. It was just that he had obviously asked Linglong about his identity, otherwise he would not have been staring at him all the time.
Lin Jiuxi shook his head helplessly and followed him out.
Lin Jiuxi frowned slightly when he heard this, and grabbed Linglong's wrist with his backhand. He draped the shawl over her arm, which fluttered all over the floor. "I was found by the assassin sent by the emperor last night. If it weren't for Master Bai, I'm afraid I would be dead now."
This return to the capital would certainly be dangerous. The emperor must have received the news by now, and it was time for her to start the second step.
"Girl, don't go any further. It's an animal farm. There are only fifteen or sixteen-year-olds fighting against wild beasts. How can they survive?" The man at the side saw Lin Jiuxi's attire and knew who she was. He stopped what he was doing and tried to comfort her. "Such a scene would make others feel uncomfortable, let alone a girl like you."
This time, in addition to selecting some confidants, he also had to secretly place some secret guards. If he wanted to overthrow the emperor in the future, Nangong Jing's manpower alone would naturally not be enough.
No one would risk their life to provoke Linglong Pavilion. With such power, it is no exaggeration to say that they can cover the sky with one hand.
But there is one saying that is true: if it is a blessing, there will be no disaster; if it is a disaster, there will be no escape.
Linglong looked at Lin Jiuxi with complicated eyes, and finally sighed. Whatever, forget it, the relationship was deep, and telling her would only make it tangled: "In that case, then stay a few more days."
"I worked so hard to arrange for you to go out, but you come back and fall into the trap?" Linglong was almost laughing because of her anger. She had been asking about the whereabouts of Princess Duan in the past two days. It was clear that she could reach Weicheng in another seven or eight days, but she turned back. Naturally, she was infuriating.
Those who are loyal and devoted to the Lord can only be found among a group of desperate people, and even more so, they must be found among the wise.
Lin Jiuxi slightly raised his eyebrows when he heard that. It was really like even God couldn't stand that dog emperor. Whatever she wanted came true. All the young men in the zoo were desperate criminals. Once they got on the zoo, they would die. Who would play against the tiger? If their legs became weak with fear, they would be food.
"Thank you, but there are important people inside, so I have to go." Lin Jiuxi slightly bent his eyes, his fingertips fell to his sleeves, took out some silver coins and handed them to the man, "Thank you, big brother."
The man was flattered and took it in a hurry. He secretly sighed that the people in Linglong Pavilion were truly extraordinary. He shook his head and went about his business.
Lin Jiuxi went all the way to the animal farm. Perhaps because of her clothes, she was invited to the warm room. Along the way, there were young boys locked in cages. They looked at her with fear, curiosity, resentment or sadness, which made people feel as if they had spilled soy sauce, vinegar and tea, with mixed feelings.
"May I know what this girl's name is?" A man who looked like an accountant came forward with an abacus in his hand.
