Nan Fenghuang sat down abruptly on the edge of the couch, raised her hand to touch Nan Lingqin's forehead, then touched her own forehead to compare. After a moment, she raised her hand to check Nan Lingqin's pulse, then put it down. "No problem."
"Nan Fenghuang, what exactly happened? Can you explain it all at once?"
When Nan Lingqin got angry, Nan Fenghuang immediately became obedient.
"You really lost consciousness after stabbing Yuwen Yao, but in that instant, an immense force spread from your body, instantly killing hundreds of Black Cloth Guards around you. If we hadn't dodged quickly, we probably would have been finished too."
Nan Fenghuang frowned slightly, her playful expression vanishing as she looked at Nan Lingqin seriously. "So, you don't remember anything at all."
"Nonsense, I was unconscious, how could I remember anything?" Nan Lingqin stood up, and as soon as her feet touched the ground, she felt incredibly light all over.
“However, Xu Yiran said that perhaps due to the influence of spiritual arts, you may be getting closer to the secrets of the Cloud Clan.” Nan Fenghuang’s beautiful eyes flickered as she spoke, but she was thinking about something else.
Nan Lingqin was also thinking about other things.
Why did my internal spiritual power suddenly increase?
"I'm going out to take a look."
Nan Lingqin said.
"Come back soon, we're still within Beirong territory."
"knew."
Nan Lingqin quickly walked out of the house.
"By the way, Yuwen Yao and the others are staying at the inn next door. Yu Qingyi found a doctor for them. Their injuries are not serious, but they are not minor either."
Nan Fenghuang's voice came from behind again, but Nan Lingqin had already left the inn and headed straight for the inn next door.
Just as I was about to go inside, I saw Yu Qingyi come out of the inn.
"Sister Qin..."
"Where is Yuwen Yao?"
"He's still unconscious. Your sword strike was too heavy. You... wait until he's recovered before fighting him?"
Yu Qingyi seemed to be discussing things.
Nan Lingqin glanced at him, then looked at Yu Qingyi's bandaged hand, "Is your hand alright?"
"It's nothing, no big deal."
Yu Qingyi, on the other hand, seemed relaxed.
Nan Lingqin looked at him, then looked away and said, "Then please pass on a message to him for me."
"What?"
"If you don't want others to know, then don't do it in the first place."
After saying that, Nan Lingqin turned and left without looking back.
Yuwen Yao, since you want me to attack Beirong, then I will do as you wish.
Six days later.
Nan Lingqin returned to Southern Qi and, with a single command, led her army straight up.
This caused the Beirong soldiers to suffer repeated defeats.
Within a month, they captured several cities in succession.
This time, Nan Lingqin's methods were no longer gentle; at every city gate, rivers of blood flowed and corpses littered the ground.
The Western Xia still did not send troops. Tinghai had already returned and said that Duanmu Rong had personally buried Xuanyuan Du's body in the Western Xia imperial mausoleum and wrote a letter to Nanlingqin.
The gist of it is that he will not participate in the war between Nan Qi and Bei Rong, and he asks to be given a free rein. He also believes that Nan Lingqin will avenge Xuan Yuan Du.
A single, dazzling cry, like a firework, vanishes silently.
Xuanyuan Du has never done anything for himself in his entire life.
The letter also told a story.
One story that Nan Lingqin knew about but didn't expose.
It was on that very day that Nan Lingqin had the eunuch tell her the story that Duanmu Rong of Southern Qi had asked her to tell.
This is yet another royal secret.
The brother falls in love with his sister, an incestuous relationship fueled by jealousy, and ultimately, unable to possess her, he destroys her.
At the end of the letter, Duanmu Rong said that her words finally made him let go.
Nan Lingqin put away the letter, held it close to the candle, intending to burn it, but as soon as she got close, her eyes narrowed.
Because, in the firelight, words were hidden inside the letter.
"The eunuch who told the story disappeared after you left that day."
A single sentence, like a sudden surge of waves, made Nan Lingqin's eyes see the depths of the sea.
Then, Nan Lingqin summoned Minglan.
"Is there any news from the barbarians?"
“Reporting to Miss, after receiving the news that the Black Cloth Guard had been wiped out and Black Cloth Water had died that day, I also thought that the Barbarian Lord would take revenge, but he did not. Instead, he secretly ordered that Miss Shang Ning be found.”
Nan Lingqin's gaze flickered slightly.
"That day, they tied me up with black cloth, intending to use me to provoke An Shangning..."
Nan Lingqin raised her hand to her forehead, "It seems that he still hasn't found An Shangning."
Nan Lingqin spoke these words with a heavy heart. For the past month, she had been sending people to look for An Shangning, but there had been no news.
Previously, Xuanyuan Du had also disappeared for some time before reappearing. Upon his return, he didn't say what he wanted to say before…
But what exactly did he mean by saying "Yuwen Yao...alive..." before he died?
Yu Wenyao!
Nan Lingqin's eyes flickered, veiled by a light mist, making her seem suddenly mysterious and unpredictable.
"Also, Miss, don't worry, Manager Bai is doing well in Beirong Capital. I heard he's going to open another branch. And Manager Bai sent word that if you don't win, he won't marry you."
"hehe……"
Nan Lingqin suddenly chuckled, "I think it's because Nie Zuier didn't agree to marry him."
Minglan's deep features softened slightly as he smiled, "That's certainly true, very likely."
Seeing Nan Lingqin's gaze fixed on the distance, her face calm, Ming Lan paused, a rare flicker in his eyes, "There's one more thing..."
Nan Lingqin looked at him, "It's rare to see you so hesitant, what's the matter?"
“Miss is wise. I had been thinking that any help would be good, so I secretly contacted the Xue family. But I didn’t contact them again. Yesterday they sent me a message, hoping that I would return to the family.”
Nan Lingqin thought for a moment, "Whatever you want. You know you've always been free."
Thank you.
"Your Highness, we suspect that foreign enemies have infiltrated."
At this moment, a man came forward to report, looking worried and anxious.
---Aside---
There were actually many foreshadowing elements in the beginning, but you guys just weren't paying attention, waaaaaah~
