"For so many years, the eldest brother has remained chaste for the sake of his mother, Miss Zongzheng."
Tianxingdao.
Xie Lingqin...
MMP.
What's the point of saying this? Both parties involved are dead; what value does it hold?
Xie Lingqin sized up Tianxing. The man in front of her was about twenty years old, with a clean-shaven face, a straw rope around his head, and two strands of medium-length black hair hanging down beside his ears. He was dressed in ordinary farmer's clothes and stood there casually. In the setting sun, he really had a bit of a roguish air about him. Now that Xie Lingqin was staring at him, he immediately smiled guiltily, "Well, apart from knowing that the eldest brother loved your mother the most back then, gave birth to Young Master Danling, and was secretly murdered by the current emperor, I know nothing else."
That's the truth.
Although her demeanor was unrestrained, Xie Lingqin could tell.
So, I was somewhat satisfied.
"Have you been secretly watching me before?"
Xie Lingqin asked again.
Tianxing nodded, "I used to live with the boss in Sanlitun outside the city. However, the boss would occasionally take me into the city to shop, and he would secretly come to see you and the young master."
"So you all know how much injustice and bullying I suffered in the past."
“Yes.” Tianxing seemed to know what Xie Lingqin wanted to know, and added, “I also asked the boss why he watched you suffer without helping you. But the boss said that only in this way could you survive, and only in this way could you avoid arousing suspicion and attract more covetousness. The strength of the people around you is not enough; you have to be strong yourself to be able to move with ease.”
Xie Lingqin's heart stirred slightly.
These words sound like they came from Prince Yong.
However, Xie Lingqin still had some doubts in her eyes, "Then, do you know that I was tricked out of the manor by Xie Lingyu that day and was arrested?"
"I know." Tianxing nodded respectfully. "Actually, that night, the boss had already given me an order, saying that if there was no other way, we should rescue you. However, when we arrived secretly, you were no longer in that residence, but had appeared safely in the General's Mansion. Although we had some doubts, at that time, the Prince Xian was searching everywhere in the city, so just in case, we hurriedly left the city."
Xie Lingqin nodded, understanding.
So, they were just too late, and the original owner of this body had already died, so she came here.
Therefore, human calculations are truly no match for divine calculations.
“However…” Xie Lingqin looked at Tianxing, “That night in the village, I saw you and your men. Not only were they skilled, but they were also proficient in many things. Even if a bandit is to protect me in the future, he should be able to use all kinds of martial arts.”
"I don't know either." Tianxing frowned, a hint of doubt in his eyes, then grinned. "Anyway, that's how the boss always demanded of us. But after the boss died, I've been thinking that he really had extremely high expectations of us, and we learned so much."
"Okay, you can go now. If you need money, just let me know."
"yes."
Tianxing flashed away.
Xie Lingqin stood there, motionless for a long time.
The Emperor had secretly placed Prince Yong's body in the imperial mausoleum. It seemed that everything had been settled, but she always felt as if she were in a dense net, making it hard for her to breathe. In moments of distraction, she felt as if she were outside the net.
This feeling is indescribable and inexplicable; it comes from an inexplicable tension in my heart.
Suddenly, Xie Lingqin clutched her chest.
This long-dormant poison, without any warning, struck again.
It seems that the medicine Yuwen Yao gave her has completely lost its effect. Now, all we can do is wait for Yu Qingyi's antidote.
Only after the agonizing feeling of being devoured by a hundred insects in her body gradually disappeared did Xie Lingqin wipe the sweat from her forehead and straighten up.
In the underworld, if you cannot find out who poisoned me, one day I will raze you to the ground. "Who is it? Show yourself."
Startled by a sound from the shadows, Xie Lingqin immediately shouted, her silver needles hidden in her sleeve poised to be fired.
"Miss, it's me." Suanpizi rushed over in a few steps.
"What's wrong?" Xie Lingqin asked, letting out a sigh of relief.
"Miss, I've stolen the person you wanted."
Upon hearing this, Xie Lingqin's expression hardened. She looked at the shrewish man, who was bent over and smiling obsequiously, and said, "It's a bit faster than I expected."
"Well, Miss, if you're not sure how to handle this, I'll carry the person back now and we can steal again next time?"
"Fight back?" Xie Lingqin was in a good mood as soon as she saw this sourpuss. Hearing him say that, she laughed again, "Look at the red marks on your face. Stealing someone isn't so easy, is it? And you'll steal again next time."
"Hehehe." Having his truth exposed by Xie Lingqin, he rubbed his thin, monkey-like face with a sour grin. "Miss is wise. However, Miss, I know an extremely elegant place, perfect for two people to be alone. Would you like to..."
Suanpizi's words were cut short by a meaningful look from Xie Lingqin.
"Don't overthink it, I need to find this person," Xie Lingqin said. However, she didn't let Suanpizi rush to take her there, but instead went to find Minglan first.
"Don't worry, Miss, I will secretly go to the Zong government to keep an eye on things."
"Hmm, I have a feeling that the Fifth Princess's return to the capital this time is not simple. Go and check on them to make sure my maternal grandfather and the others are safe and sound."
Only after Minglan withdrew did Xie Lingqin signal Suanpizi to lead the way.
The sunset painted the sky with layers of colorful clouds, but the heavy dark clouds on the horizon seemed to have not dispersed for days.
Suanpizi led Xie Lingqin to a secluded house before stopping.
"You're just going to leave him here?"
Xie Lingqin looked around; there were cobwebs everywhere. This…
It's really not as good as white jade.
"I was just afraid of being discovered."
