Chapter 701 Rules of the Game
Xiang Tian walked out from behind the pillar and only then could he finally see the woman's appearance clearly.
The appearance is still the same as before, but the feeling it gives people seems different.
Unlike the plain and elegant makeup she had maintained in the past, the Bai Qianqian in front of her had a slightly thick and coquettish makeup on her face. Although it was delicate, it seemed deliberate.
Her body was not fully recovered to begin with, and even after a few days of rest, the signs were still visible.
The makeup on her face was probably used to cover up her pale complexion.
However, even so, one can still see the haggardness that cannot be concealed under her makeup.
Xiang Tian felt relieved as soon as he saw the appearance of the person in front of him.
He felt relieved that Bai Qianqian was not doing well.
Retracting his gaze and lowering his eyes, Xiang Tian only asked, "Does the queen have any instructions?"
Xiang Tian's tone was not gentle, but fortunately he was like this before, so even if he looked like this now, it would not arouse too much suspicion.
Bai Qianqian just smiled and said, "I'm here to ask you to come."
She said, "I heard that you have successfully entered the back hall. Now that you are here to serve me, have you completed the task I asked you to do?"
Xiang Tian was prepared for Bai Qianqian's question and said,
"Even though we were close, there weren't many opportunities to strike, and we've only succeeded twice so far."
If you say it once, it will inevitably make the other party suspicious of your inaction, but if you say it too affirmatively, it will also make the other party suspicious. Xiang Tian had thought of what to say before he came.
Bai Qianqian did not comment upon hearing this, but a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
That smile didn't seem smug, but more like sarcasm.
She looked at the boy in front of her, who was only sixteen years old. There was a hint of indifference under his delicately made-up eyes, but her tone was full of praise.
"As expected of you, it's not easy to succeed twice. Besides, if you use that thing too frequently, it will easily arouse suspicion, don't you think?"
She asked the latter part slowly, as if hinting at something. Xiang Tian was slightly startled but did not answer.
Bai Qianqian didn't seem to need his answer.
"I have just recovered from a serious illness and my mind is not as good as before. I asked you to come out because I want you to stop for the time being and wait until I feel better."
Xiang Tian was a little surprised, but he intuitively felt that Bai Qianqian was not someone who would give up so easily.
Without showing any emotion, he just asked, "Is my mission over?"
"Of course not." Bai Qianqian said, "You stay with her, but I need you to help me with something right now."
As she spoke, she suddenly took out a letter from her arms.
"Now all the useful people in my palace are gone, and I don't trust anyone else. I want you to find a way to deliver this letter to the Bai family on my behalf. Can you do it?"
Xiang Tian glanced at the envelope in her hand. His gloomy face showed no emotion. He just nodded and said, "Yes."
It is impossible to deliver the letter, but I can help you deliver this letter to the Emperor and Concubine Lang.
Xiang Tian thought so in his heart and reached out to take the envelope.
Bai Qianqian smiled immediately, "Now I only have you to trust, and I hope you will not let me down."
Xiang Tian nodded again, quickly put the envelope in his hand away, and said, "If I stay out for too long it will arouse suspicion, so I'm leaving now."
Having said that, without caring whether he agreed or not, she just walked away.
Only Bai Qianqian was looking at his back, her eyes gradually turning cold.
I had only suspected it before, but now that I have actually seen it, I am finally sure.
Such a good chess piece that I carefully arranged actually betrayed me.
Bai Qianqian, you are such a waste.
It was a waste of my efforts to let her know the opportunity, but I still lost like this in the end.
However, it was fortunate that she lost, otherwise...how would I have had the chance to occupy this body in advance?
Since these people have broken the rules of the game, they must be prepared to bear the consequences.
