The system seemed to hesitate for a moment.
Although it didn't make a sound, Xiao Tang was certain that it was hesitating!
What kind of time is this? How dare this guy still hesitate with her?
[Host, here's the thing, the points required are roughly the same as the number I need to reveal myself. Are you sure?]
[500,000?]
Xiao Tang has a vivid memory of this number.
It was hard not to suspect that this damn system was just saying it offhand to fool her.
Following this method, obtaining the 7 Days to Kill is truly a dream come true.
The initial purpose of curing the villain's poison was simply to obtain a letter of divorce.
Now, her purpose in curing the villain's poison is simple and singular: she just wants to be able to have a proper romance!
Damn it, why is it so hard for her to find a relationship?
Yes, host!
【hehe……】
[Host, I advise you to catch up with the main villain as soon as possible; you might be able to complete the mission within the limited time.]
[You damn system, what kind of interjection is that?]
[…This is not the focus.] The system is feeling very tired.
Why didn't it realize before that this host was so difficult to manage?
This host is difficult to manage, and to make matters worse, we've encountered a weirdo like Xiao Tang, making it even more difficult.
Xiao Tang was actually quite dejected.
Where can she search for the main villain?
If they hadn't left the capital, she could still have pursued them.
But now that the main villain has left the capital, she's afraid she'll have a hard time finding a man even if she chases him until her legs break.
She was troubled.
After a final struggle, she went to find Yan Shi and asked, "Go and find out where the Regent has gone. I'll go find him secretly."
Yan Shi was taken aback.
"Your Highness, this..."
The prince left in a hurry, so he's really hard to find.
Xiao Tang pursed her lips. "Fine, if you don't want to tell me, then so be it."
He turned to leave, looking dejected.
A childish voice rang out: "Hey, woman, I know."
Looking up, she saw the little guy in the wheelchair staring at her with longing eyes.
His youthful voice betrayed a feigned maturity and composure.
"Why did you come here?" Xiao Tang asked.
Di Youming snorted lightly through his nostrils, looking quite arrogant, "You're looking for your royal uncle, aren't you? I know where he went."
"where?"
Xiao Tang raised an eyebrow and pressed for an answer.
Di Youming's lips moved slightly before he mumbled three words: "City of Forgetfulness."
This City of Forgetfulness is not far from the capital.
If we ride at full speed, we can arrive in half a day.
Moreover, since the Imperial Uncle had only been gone a short time, it wouldn't be difficult for Xiao Tang to catch up.
"Ruyi, Yanshi, go prepare my horse, I'll go after them right away."
Ruyi opened her mouth, "Your Highness, are you going to ride after them alone?"
That's far too risky.
The princess has only recently learned to ride a horse.
They were quite at ease riding horses for short distances.
However, if the princess is to chase such a long distance, she cannot afford to suffer any mishap.
Yan Shi immediately said, "I will accompany the Princess to Forget-Worry City, while Ruyi will wait at the Prince's residence."
...
Just like what that child Di Youming said, they only spent half a day to reach the City of Forgetfulness.
Yan Shi had just found an inn to rest.
Two guests not far away were drinking and talking.
"Have you heard? Headless monsters often appear in the King of Yue's mansion to eat people."
"I heard about it. It even alarmed the Regent. He went to the Prince of Yue's residence!"
The King of Yue was the third brother of the late emperor.
Speaking of which, when the late emperor was being buried, the King of Yue only went to take a quick look and then left.
Xiao Tang thought the two brothers didn't have much of a relationship.
Would Di Jingling appear for someone like this? To solve the headless monster's problem?
"I heard that the Regent didn't come to clean up the mess for the King of Yue, but rather because of a precious jade that the King of Yue recently acquired, which is why he traveled all this way."
"What precious jade?"
"In ancient times, there were three great evil stones and three great treasures, which were mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining. You haven't heard of these three treasures: Nirvana, Eternal Tranquility, and Rebirth from Fire? You can't be that outdated!"
"What nonsense are you spouting? These are all just legends, how can you believe them?"
"Of course we can believe it. The King of Yue obtained this 'Eternal Silence Jade,' otherwise why do you think the Regent came?"
Xiao Tang suddenly stood up.
Yan Shi hurriedly caught up with her, "Your Highness, what's wrong?"
"So the Nirvana Jade Pendant has two other brothers?" She really didn't know.
It wasn't mentioned at all in the book.
Moreover, this was a taboo subject, and Yan Jiu and Yan Shi dared not easily mention it in front of her.
Xiao Tang now feels that her left eyelid is twitching badly.
Yan Shicai stammered an explanation: "This concerns the prince's background. In fact, the prince already had some doubts before the late emperor told him about his background."
"However, no one knew how to find it until the prince saw an ancient book that said the three jade pendants of Nirvana, Eternal Silence, and Rebirth could be pieced together."
"Oh, no wonder..."
No wonder Di Jingling didn't even blink when Ning Cang took the Taotie Stone last time.
Because that's not his goal.
His goal was these three pieces of auspicious jade.
As for the evil stone, he didn't need it at all.
Outside the Yue King's Palace.
Xiao Tang wanted to go up and knock on the door, but Yan Shi stopped her immediately.
"Your Highness...you...wouldn't you like to think twice before you act? What if the Prince doesn't want you to come?"
"What if...the prince gets upset?"
Yan Shi gently reminded him.
The prince rushed to Forget-Worry City; what if he really didn't want the princess to be involved in this matter?
Xiao Tang also calmed down.
