"Where is this place?"
“Look here…”
Yuwen An pointed to a huge pit in front of him.
Nie Zuier was on high alert, looking at Yuwen An with a wary expression, "What if you stab me in the back the moment I walk over?"
"If we really fight, you're no match for me, and besides..."
Yuwen An smiled coldly, "I can kill you anytime I want. I won't even lay a hand on you; a piece of white jade should be enough."
Upon hearing this, Nie Zuier's expression turned cold, and a murderous intent surged from her body.
"Put away your murderous intent. If the person in front of you were the emperor, then congratulations. He has successfully taken your weakness and will make you submit to him from now on."
Hearing this, Nie Zuier's heart trembled, and her face darkened even more. After a moment, she said, "I really loathe you for having the same face as the Crown Prince and making such a gloomy and somber expression."
"I'm not living this life to please anyone, except, of course, Yuwen Yao."
"yes……"
Nie Zuier's voice suddenly stopped because a gust of wind swept in, and the smell emanating from that huge pit...
Nie Zuier rushed over and took a closer look. Even this woman, who was used to seeing love and death, couldn't help but feel nauseous when she saw this scene.
"this……"
"This is our Emperor of Beirong."
Yuwen Andao said, "The wind blows, and the cold seeps into your bones."
"So many naked, mutilated corpses..."
Nie Zuier's face turned pale. Suddenly, he looked at Yuwen An and said, "What exactly does the Crown Prince want to do? If he really has a kind heart, why doesn't he just announce the Emperor's crimes and make him the target of public criticism? He can make the Emperor abdicate and kill him."
"Yes, why would he do that!"
Yuwen An sighed, his voice unusually gentle, "You know, I used to truly despise Xie Lingqin. The urge to kill her was like a midnight dream, ingrained in my blood, becoming an obsession. But now..."
In the winter of Beirong, the wind was really cold. Yuwen An's gaze passed through the dense trees and looked at the vast sky that seemed like ink that could not be dissolved.
Xie Lingqin, how much he loves you.
He's gambling with the lives of people in Beirong, and the lives of people all over the world, just to see you one more time.
did you know!
...
Southern Qi Dynasty.
Under the same night sky, the warm climate creates a completely different scene.
Inside Xie Lingqin's room at the city garrison.
"Brilliant! You're truly brilliant. You outmaneuvered Bei Rong without shedding a drop of blood."
"Therefore, we must press our advantage now."
Xie Lingqin was lying on the soft couch, casually flipping through a book, and her eyes never left the book as she spoke.
“What you say is true, but Father has already ordered you to return to the capital as soon as possible. Although I didn’t say it, I heard from the servants that you coughed again last night.”
"It's much better than before; Dr. Dong's prescription is very effective."
Xie Lingqin said.
“I’m still a little worried. No matter what, you are a princess of Southern Qi, well… the eldest princess.” Nan Fenghuang sighed. “So, you have to go back to the capital no matter what.”
Xie Lingqin finally put down her book and looked at Nan Fenghuang, "Is it necessary?"
Nan Fenghuang nodded, "It's not negotiable."
What if I don't reply?
"Believe me, your father's temper is definitely not as good as you think. He will do things you never expected. I advise you not to try it. Go back to the capital and experience the love a father has for you."
Seeing Nan Fenghuang's unusually serious demeanor, Xie Lingqin suddenly smiled, stood up slightly, and looked at Nan Fenghuang, "I always feel that you are a little jealous."
“That’s right, your feeling is right. The position of the eldest princess has been taken away, the father’s love has been taken away, and of course, my beloved second brother… Okay, let’s get back to the point. Now that Shen Yuan has led the troops to guard the border, with the defense suggestions you gave earlier, there won’t be any problems.”
"Alright then, let's set off tomorrow."
"Aren't we going to see the peach grove?"
"My heart is like a sea of bitterness, I can't bear to look down."
After Xie Lingqin finished speaking, she put down the book, put on her shoes, and seemed to be about to go out.
"Where are you going so late?"
"I suddenly want to hear Yu Riyu's flute playing, I'm going to find him..."
"He left this morning, saying his mother was sick at home."
Xie Lingqin paused upon hearing Nan Fenghuang's words, then sighed, "It's a bit of a regret that she left."
“What’s there to regret? There are countless young and handsome doctors like this in Southern Qi. If you like them, you can take them all into the princess’s residence without any problem.”
Xie Lingqin's eyelashes twitched slightly. After a moment, she looked at Nan Fenghuang, her star-like eyes narrowing slightly. "The Princess's residence?"
"Yes, Father has even designated a residence for you, which is very close to the palace."
Xie Lingqin suddenly felt a little reluctant to return to the capital of Southern Qi.
"Oh, right, there's one more thing. Xu Yiran asked me to tell you this when I came over. The Emperor of Beirong secretly sent the Fifth Prince and a man named Qin Xun out of the capital. If I'm not mistaken, they're going to Xixia."
Qin Xun...
"Persuade the Western Xia, or restrain them?"
Xie Lingqin suddenly sneered, "Let's wait and see."
"However, Xu Yiran sent you to deliver the message instead of coming to tell me in person. Is he not here?"
Xie Lingqin thought of asking this question.
“Hmm…” Nan Fenghuang nodded, “It’s a bit strange than usual.”
"You're hiding something from me."
Xie Lingqin looked at Nan Fenghuang and said, "Your eyelashes are trembling."
"You could even tell that? Really... Well, I was driven by curiosity, so I asked him. Before he left the city garrison, he inquired about the whereabouts of that Yu Riyu."
Xie Lingqin's eyes darkened.
