"My wife, I miss you so much."
It starts with these five cheesy words.
Xiao Tang stared at the five words and chuckled to himself.
As she continued reading, the smile on her face suddenly froze.
Ruyi also wanted to look, but seeing the princess's drastic change in expression, she was frightened. "Your Highness, what's wrong?"
"The poison has taken effect..." Xiao Tang frowned.
"Huh?" Ruyi was startled by her words and was puzzled. "What poison has taken effect?"
The second half of the story is about how Emperor Jingling's Gu poison took effect.
Di Jingling had been with her for a very long time without experiencing any symptoms of poisoning, but this time, as soon as he went to Western Qin, he was suddenly poisoned. This inevitably raises suspicions that it was intentional.
She quickly packed her bags.
Seeing how excited she was, Ruyi joined in to help, "Your Highness, are we going to Western Qin?"
"Um!"
She knew that if the Emperor of Western Qin knew that Di Jingling's poison had flared up and he was at his weakest, he would take action against him.
Qin Chuxing didn't kill Di Yanqing because he didn't want the Regent to control Dasheng for nothing.
However, if the regent of Dasheng were to offer his head as a sacrifice, the emperor of Xiqin would have no choice but to take action.
In just a few brief encounters, she was able to determine that Qin Chuxing would stop at nothing to achieve his goals.
[Beep beep... Host, the fourth romance mission has been delivered. Please accept.]
Xiao Tang didn't have time to deal with it.
After hurriedly packing his luggage, Yan Shi had already prepared the carriage outside the door.
[Beep beep, host, are you listening to me?]
Ruyi and Yanshi followed her to Western Qin.
Yan Shi, however, couldn't help but worry, "Your Highness, what if this is a trap..."
"no!"
It was Di Jingling's handwriting and tone.
Those first five characters were definitely written by Di Jingling himself.
Men's handwriting is also extremely easy to read.
How utterly pathetic would she be if she couldn't even recognize her own husband's handwriting?
Since Xiao Tang denied it so firmly, Yan Shi didn't ask any further questions.
Ruyi hesitated for a moment, her red lips barely moving. That was the truth, but why did she feel uneasy?
...
Three days later.
Xiao Tang and his group successfully arrived in the Western Qin Kingdom.
Upon entering the capital of Western Qin, she went to the address left on the letter.
Seeing that she was so determined, Yan Shi didn't want to stop her.
The address left by Di Jingling was the attic of Zhongshuge.
"princess……"
Standing beneath the Zhongshuge Pavilion, Yan Shi was somewhat incredulous.
Zhongshuge was the largest bookstore in the Western Qin Imperial City.
The books here are the most abundant and complete.
It was broad daylight, yet there were hardly any people in the attic.
She whispered a reminder to Yan Shi and Ru Yi: "Don't call me Princess when we're out."
Ruyi nodded quickly, and didn't forget to nudge Yan Shi's side to remind him not to do anything reckless.
Yan Shi touched his lower back and scratched his head sheepishly.
[Ding, host, your romance quest has begun~~]
Stop talking nonsense and just spit it out!
[Host is too fierce; this will scare the big villain away.]
[...]
What's so important about that?
The task is to make the main villain jealous three times to complete the mission. The time limit is three days.
Xiao Tang was too lazy to waste time.
She didn't respond to the system and stepped inside.
The system was completely ignored: [Host... Please respond... Please...]
[Okay! Shut up!]
Xiao Tang's impression of this damn system plummeted.
I don't know where this system gets its confidence from, it always appears at crucial moments to disturb her.
The proprietress of Zhongshuge Bookstore personally came to greet us; she was a dark-skinned woman.
She looked at Xiao Tang and tentatively asked, "You are... Xiao Tang?"
He recognized Xiao Tang at a glance.
Xiao Tang nodded. "Who are you??"
"My surname is Yu, and I am Xiaoling's aunt!"
Behind them, Yan Shi and Ru Yi: ? ? ?
Does "Little...Little Ling" refer to the Regent?
They were all dumbfounded.
Xiao Tang then looked the woman in front of him up and down.
It's as if they want to see right through you.
After staring at the person for a while, Yu Xueqiao smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't believe me. I'll take you to see your man. He's in the underground room."
After taking a couple of steps, the woman suddenly turned her head and said, "Oh, only you can go in."
Xiao Tang pursed her lips and simply told Ruyi and Yanshi, "You two wait for me here."
This villain is really a handful.
He told her to wait for him at the Prince's mansion, but what happened? He got poisoned himself!
Why did she call him "little darling" before?
He's clearly a naughty little boy.
Entering the passageway leading to the secret chamber, the chamber was pitch black until Yu Xueqiao lit a torch.
Xiao Tang stared at the torch in her hand, feeling a little nervous.
You must know that Zhongshuge is full of books, and if you set fire to it, the entire building will easily catch fire.
She was afraid that this woman might really...
Yu Xueqiao chuckled, "You don't need to be nervous. I haven't even thought about killing myself yet. I found my sister's will and had someone send the jade pendant to the Dasheng Palace."
"Did you send it to me?"
The woman's smile, though her skin was dark, was quite kind.
She tilted her head slightly, looking at Xiao Tang with a half-smile, "Yes, I delivered it because I knew he would come. I didn't expect his Gu poison to take effect so quickly."
Upon hearing the mention of this Gu poison, the woman's face suddenly turned icy cold.
Xiao Tang happened to catch it.
She knew this woman knew a lot of secrets.
