"Since you're so eager to be the Emperor's loyal dog, then you'd better wait here."
Xie Lingqin snatched Tinghai's sword, and with two swift strokes, a large red cross appeared on Yuwen Xian's handsome face, a sight both laughable and ironic.
Xie Lingqin did not kill Yuwen Xian. As she said, the best revenge was to make him wish he were dead. Moreover, the medicine she administered was enough to cause him immense suffering.
The door was opened by Xie Lingqin, and many people were already standing neatly in the courtyard. The first one in front was Qingyi, who was next to Yuwen Xian. He obviously wanted to rush in, but he was stopped and controlled by the sword that appeared behind him. At this moment, their faces were ugly, and their steps were weak and powerless.
That's right. When they captured her, they naturally smelled the scent that the wind carried on her body.
Tianxing stepped forward and respectfully bowed to Xie Lingqin, "Miss, you have done everything you instructed. Now, what should we do with these people?"
"Never mind him, let them fend for themselves here. After all, Yuwen Xian might still be useful. Even if he isn't, living is far more interesting than letting him die."
"Yes," Tianxing replied.
"Listen to the sea."
Xie Lingqin called again.
Tinghai immediately stepped forward and said, "Miss, I have already found out."
Let's go.
"Xie Lingqin, things will definitely not go as you wish. Humph, you won't find them."
Inside the room, Yuwen Xian's unwilling voice came from within.
Xie Lingqin sneered, "You'd better pray for yourself. Tianxing, you stay here and keep an eye on them. If anything happens..."
The winter wind was biting, but the girl's voice was like a knife slowly tearing her apart.
"Kill without mercy."
Xie Lingqin said.
Inside the room, Yuwen Xian trembled. He had never imagined that death would be so close to him at this moment.
Xie Lingqin, just now none of us wanted to kill him...
Yuwen Xian finally stopped talking. His face was a mixture of emotions: bitterness, shock, frustration, and regret.
He knew that tonight, the storm would not subside.
Night deepened, and the winter wind was biting, stinging my face.
A rustling sound came from a dilapidated little courtyard, and then it fell silent again.
In the very center of the courtyard, a man dressed in black stood under the moonlight. His face no longer bore the arrogant and impetuous look of the past; instead, it was cold and aloof.
"Young Master, the Princess of Southern Qi, the Second Prince of Southern Qi, and the Crown Prince Xuanyuan have all been taken into our control."
A guard came to report from behind.
Upon hearing this, the man raised his hand and waved at him, "Don't let your guard down. Keep an eye on them and wait a little longer. I'll go meet them myself."
"Yes."
The guards withdrew, and after a short while, another guard landed and reported to the man, "Young master, the Prince Xian has not returned to the Prince Xian's residence yet. It seems that he was afraid we would cause trouble, so he took his men elsewhere. Should we pursue him?"
The man flicked his fingertips and sneered, "No need. It's been so long, some things should have come to fruition by now."
"yes."
"Let's go and see the envoys from various countries."
The man walked for an unknown amount of time in a narrow passageway before a stone chamber was opened.
At that time, Nan Fenghuang, Nangong Feng, and Xuanyuan Du all slumped weakly against the wall.
"Hehe, it's a rare sight indeed."
The man gave a cold laugh.
The three men were taken aback when they saw who it was, and their expressions darkened.
"It was you! You're the Emperor's man..."
Nan Fenghuang spoke angrily.
"Hehe, yes, the princess of Southern Qi is truly clever."
What do you want to do by arresting us?
“What do you say? How about we pin your deaths on Xie Lingqin? From then on, the Emperor can rightfully remove this cancerous tumor, and at the same time, keep control over the Crown Prince.”
“You captured us, but pretend the Crown Prince doesn’t know. He will definitely rescue us.”
The man laughed, "I think the Crown Prince is busy right now. He thinks everything is settled and he has everything under control. Haha, he can't even find a maid. What a joke."
"What maid?"
The man stopped talking and instead waved his hand behind him, "Someone come here."
However, after a moment, there was no sound in the air.
The man's eyes darkened, and he suddenly turned around. As soon as he turned around, countless silver needles as fine as a drizzle came flying towards him.
The man was in a great hurry. In the dimly lit passageway, he immediately raised his sleeve to brush it aside and retreated hastily.
"So, the unseen person behind the scenes was you."
Then, a clear and beautiful voice rang out.
The girl walked in slowly.
The man's expression changed. "Xie Lingqin, what are you doing here?"
"Yes, Qi Rufeng, what are you doing here?"
Xie Lingqin sneered.
Qi Rufeng immediately stepped back, "You shouldn't be here, you should be..."
"Are you saying that Yuwen Yao colluded with the barbarian prince Zhuidamu to plot a rebellion and interfered, which angered the emperor, so he betrothed me to Yuwen Xian?"
Xie Lingqin stepped forward step by step, "Or do you want to tell the outside world that on that day, amidst the clash of swords and the dangers, you, Qi Rufeng, risked your life to save the Second Prince of Nanqi, the Princess of Nanqi, and the Crown Prince Xuanyuan for the sake of Beirong?"
"you?"
"This is all the result that should have come after tonight's events." Xie Lingqin approached, "To reap the benefits, to throw Beirong into chaos, so that the one behind can then give the barbarians a severe warning, remove Yuwen Yao from his position as crown prince, and completely control me? Ha." Xie Lingqin sneered, "Qi Rufeng, I really underestimated you before. I truly thought you were just an arrogant, proud fool who only loved Li Qingyu and loved to show off your reckless courage. I never imagined you had such cunning. If it weren't for that flash of inspiration that day, how could this old man have taken a liking to such an unambitious disciple like you? I really didn't expect it was you who was pulling the strings behind the scenes."
