"Go ahead. After all, I've wronged her. I can only give her some of my belongings as a token of my apology."
Qiu Zhu disagreed, "You haven't wronged her. According to the principle of first come first served, you are His Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Qingyin smiled and said, "I can't explain it. Even if His Majesty and I were together first, it's still against etiquette. It's just what happened last night... Go ahead, and come back sooner rather than later."
Qiu Zhu was a little anxious. She wanted to say something to comfort him, but she didn't know how to say it. She could only nod and said, "Then I will go down first."
Wait until Qiuzhu leaves.
Qingyin also stood up, and a maid quickly followed. When they entered the inner chamber, the maid asked, "Does the Queen Mother want to undress?"
She was transferred here by the Emperor after the Empress Dowager returned from hunting.
Usually I serve outside.
Aunt Qiuzhu was not at home today, so she came in to serve.
Qingyin nodded and said, "Find something light and take off your hair accessories."
When Qiuzhu came back, Qingyin was already lying on the recliner, reading a storybook with great interest.
"Empress Dowager, the gifts have been delivered. The Imperial Concubine also asked me to bring this back, saying it's a flower unique to Xiling, and it happens to bloom in winter."
Qingyin took out the notebook in her hand and looked at the flowers in Qiuzhu's hand. They were purple with some pink, and only three flowers had bloomed. They looked really beautiful. "Your Highness is thoughtful. Please put them outside."
Qiu Zhu hesitated and said, "The Imperial Concubine said that although this flower blooms in winter, it prefers warmth."
Qingyin thought for a moment and said, "Then put it in the living room, in a corner where it won't be blown by the wind."
Qiu Zhu didn't think much about it and went out with the flowers.
[Yinyin, Mulanyan has such a vicious heart. If you steal her man, she will give you another man.]
Qingyin: “…”
She just subconsciously felt that it was better to keep beautiful flowers away from her, so she asked Qiuzhu to put them outside.
But from what Xiaoqi said, there really is something wrong with this pot of flowers.
Qingyin sneered, "Why don't you wait for me to put the flowers in the room before you make a sound."
【Hehe...I just believe you.】
Qingyin rolled her eyes at it and said, "Have you noticed that you've been particularly passive and lazy lately? You haven't reminded me when I should have."
Xiao Qi touched his non-existent nose and asked, "Is there?"
"No?" Qingyin asked back.
"No." Xiao Qi replied.
Although it has recently been watching TV series, fishing, ice skating, and swimming...
But those who should pay attention to Yinyin are also paying enough attention to her!
Look, it discovered that even without it, Yinyin could still complete the task successfully.
When I think about it this way, I feel like I am really slacking off a bit.
Qingyin was too lazy to argue, so she asked directly, "What's wrong with this flower?"
[This flower, let me tell you, has a particularly nice name: the Wish Flower. Although it's only found in Xiling, it's not very common. It can be said to be a rarity.]
Qingyin's curiosity was immediately piqued. "Mulanyan just gave me such a rare flower?"
[Stop! Didn't you hear what I said at the beginning? She's going to give you a man?]
Qingyin: “…”
[Yinyin, don't think I'm usually silent. It's because I'm keeping my eyes and ears open to gather information for you. You know, I can't get information about things that are too far away. That's why I need to inquire through various channels. That's why I sometimes spend more time in hiding.]
"Oh, I see. I wronged you. Xiao Qi has worked so hard. I'll use my points to buy you a lollipop as a reward later."
Xiao Qi's eyes lit up instantly, "Then I want the most expensive one."
Usually it buys from other systems, but it has been coveting it for a long time.
Qingyin: “…”
She remembered that the energy lollipop seemed to cost nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine.
I heard Xiaoqi say this before.
At that time, she casually said to buy it, but then it started to pick it up and said that it was not cost-effective to spend so many points to buy a lollipop.
Now, I want it again.
It seems that I should have quite a lot of points.
Seeing Qingyin didn't say anything, Xiaoqi said hurriedly, "It's settled."
It calculated carefully and found that Qingyin now has nearly one million points.
But that thing...
"good."
【Forget it, I’m not buying it. 】
Two voices sounded at the same time.
Qingyin asked first, "Didn't you want to buy it just now? Why don't you want to buy it now?"
"Thinking about it, it's still not worth it. It's just a lollipop, why is it so expensive? I don't want to be taken advantage of." Xiao Qi snorted proudly.
Qingyin laughed, "Okay, then you can buy it yourself any day you want. I have agreed now, and it is valid for life."
【Wow...Yinyin, you're so nice.】
"Okay, let's get back to business."
[Do you know who Mulan Yan met when she came to the Northern Dynasty? ]
Qingyin said without thinking, "Nangong Yi."
[Yinyin, how did you know? As expected, it doesn't matter whether I'm there or not.]
The corners of Qingyin's mouth twitched, "Speak properly."
Nangong Yi not only met Mulan Yan, but also King Xiling. He and King Xiling had privately signed an agreement. If King Xiling supported him in becoming emperor, he would give him three cities as a gift. All tributes from Xiling would be returned in full upon his becoming emperor, and he would also provide additional compensation on top of that.
Qingyin sneered, "So, all those days of pestering me were just a way to make me continue to have deep feelings for him so that I could support him later on?"
[Yes and no, Nangong Yi does like your voice, but compared to his grand ambitions, he still hopes that you can compromise a little for him, such as waiting for him in the harem, or occasionally giving him some help.]
Qingyin rubbed her arms with a chill.
"That flower is Mulan Yan's token of allegiance. If you place it in your room and inhale its fragrance for too long, you won't be able to tell the difference between Nangong Yi and Nangong Yuan. When the toxicity takes effect, everyone you see will only be Nangong Yuan."
"Mulan Yan knows that I took the Gu, and she's deeply in love with Nangong Yuan?"
[That's unknown. Nangong Yi only told her so that you could fall in love with him again. Mulan Yan guessed that you still had Nangong Yi in your heart. As long as she used this flower to inspire the love hidden deep in your heart, then Nangong Yi's wish would be fulfilled.]
"What this means is that no matter who I love, when the poison takes effect, this flower will only recognize the person I love."
After Qingyin finished speaking, she complained: "This must be called a wish flower, not a lust flower."
[It's called the Wish Flower. I heard that the person who cultivated this flower was unable to get the love he wanted, so he borrowed this flower... You know what happened next.]
Qingyin: “…”
"By the way, does Hua Mulanyan still have this?" Qingyin suddenly remembered.
But don't let her use it on Nangong Yuan.
She did hesitate before giving you this pot of flowers, but since there were no other women in the harem, she was certain that Nangong Yuan had no one else in his heart. Therefore, she felt that this flower was useless to her. Furthermore, this flower only blooms for a month, and after it withers, it will take another three years for it to bloom again. If she didn't give it to you, it would ruin Nangong Yi's plan, and she couldn't bear the wrath of King Xiling.
"Do they have any leverage over Mulan Yan?" Qingyin asked.
