Upon hearing this, Bai Yu lowered her eyebrows. "Xie Lingqin, don't forget that you are now on the opposite side of her. She wants to kill the Crown Prince and destroy Bei Rong, while you love the Crown Prince and want to protect Bei Rong."
Xie Ling's face darkened. After pondering for a while, she squinted at Bai Yu and said, "You're right. But before she makes a move, we are not enemies. Even if she does make a move, we are still not enemies. It's just that we are in different positions."
“Actually…” Bai Yu touched her nose, “I think Xu Yiran is quite nice, why do you…”
"I also think that Li Dahua next door is nice. Do you want to marry her?"
"Of course not." Bai Yu said firmly, refusing outright.
Xie Lingqin rolled her eyes. "Do unto others what you would not have them do unto you, my dear."
“But the Emperor fundamentally opposes your relationship with the Crown Prince. You are in danger at every turn and must be careful at all times. I have no problem with the Crown Prince. Only someone as outstanding as him is worthy of you. However, I do wish you happiness, Xie Lingqin. I consider you a friend and a brother.”
"Like drinking water, only the person drinking knows whether it's hot or cold. Don't worry about me. Just protect Tianxia Yiwei." Xie Lingqin quickly changed the subject. "Now, in everyone's eyes, Yan She is dead. No one knows that I am the person behind Tianxia Yiwei. So, it won't implicate you. You should manage Tianxia Yiwei well, and then..." Xie Lingqin smiled, "Just give me the money on time."
Bai Yu was quite moved by Xie Lingqin's first sentence, but when she heard the second sentence, she just chuckled.
"They're obsessed with money."
"Yes, remember to ask Hei Bu Shui and the others to pay the money first thing tomorrow morning. Our brothel doesn't do business at a loss."
"What if they cause trouble?"
"Then let's make a big fuss and see if they're happy about it..." Xie Lingqin thought of something and changed her tone. The next moment, her eyes were shining as she looked at Bai Yu.
Bai Yu swallowed hard for some reason. "What do you want to do?"
"I want to do something interesting."
Xie Lingqin gestured for Bai Yu to come closer so she could explain her plan.
Bai Yu's face was like a kaleidoscope. In the end, she gave Xie Lingqin a thumbs up and said, "Brilliant, truly worthy of the name 'Black Heart, Black Lung, Black Lives'."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Yu disappeared.
Xie Lingqin looked around, her gaze sweeping into the distance. The sky was vast, the sea and sky were blue. This world was destined to be in chaos.
Let her be the one to tear open this breach.
With the rise of the Phoenix Empress, the struggle for power is fierce and fraught with intrigue; it's better to bring everything out into the open.
Xie Lingqin went to see Minglan again and gave instructions to continue searching for Zihe's whereabouts.
We must not give up until we find the body.
Under the cover of night, Minglan looked at Xie Lingqin's cool profile bathed in moonlight, feeling a pang of heartache. She stepped forward and said, "Miss, the Xue family has also sent people this time."
"Yes, I know. There are quite a few people in the capital this time. However, if you don't want anything to happen to them, secretly send them a message and tell them to leave as soon as possible and not to think about taking sides."
Minglan was taken aback.
"Although I don't know what the Emperor will do this time, what the Crown Prince will do, or how many people want to take advantage of the situation, the consequences will certainly not be what they expect. Not everyone can succeed in trying to snatch chestnuts from the fire."
Minglan paused for a moment, then nodded. "I understand."
"I'm going back home."
"Um."
Under the dark night sky and the increasingly faint moonlight, Xie Lingqin walked quietly along the mountain path. She hadn't gone far when she waved to someone in the shadows, "Alright, you've followed me from the city to the outskirts. Aren't you tired?"
Hehehe.
A snicker rang out from the shadows, and then a skinny man, as thin as a monkey, stepped out with a fawning and obsequious expression.
It is indeed sour peel.
"Well, my young master was worried you might be in danger, so he sent me to follow you secretly." Suanpizi rubbed his hands together and followed cautiously with a smile.
Xie Lingqin looked him up and down. "What do you mainly do at the Heavenly Mystery Hall?"
"Running errands".
Sour rind is straightforward, though.
"Running errands?" Xie Lingqin raised her chin slightly, leisurely examining the situation. "If I asked you to steal some information from the Heavenly Mystery Hall, would that be easy?"
"Ah, I dare not do that, sir, I would be beaten to death by you."
The sour pea shook its head like a rattle drum.
Xie Lingqin rolled her eyes. "Look at your pathetic self."
Then keep walking forward without stopping.
Seeing that Xie Lingqin didn't chase him away, Suanpizi followed closely behind until he escorted Xie Lingqin safely back to the General's Mansion before leaving.
The General's Mansion has become increasingly quiet lately. General Xie lives in the East Courtyard, while Xie Lingqin lives in the South Courtyard. The relationship between the father and daughter has been strained, and Xie Lingqin is too lazy to even pay her respects.
The old lady, however, has been occasionally coming to check on me and offer her concern lately.
Tridacna prepared the water for Xie Lingqin and left after she finished washing up.
The room was quiet. Xie Lingqin had just turned over to face inwards when suddenly, a weight was placed beside her, and a faint fragrance wafted over.
"who?"
Xie Lingqin's outstretched hand was grasped by another fair, delicate hand.
"I."
The person who came here was quite domineering.
Xie Lingqin's eyes flickered, somewhat speechless, "Southern Phoenix?"
"Yes, let's go to sleep."
As Nan Fenghuang spoke, she pulled some blankets over Xie Lingqin, looking extremely tired. "So sleepy."
"The bed in Jinhua Tower is too small; it can't fit you in." Xie Lingqin suddenly stood up and asked Nan Fenghuang, whose eyes were already closed.
The woman had an oval face, delicate features, deep-set eyes, and full, round red lips that made Xie Lingqin want to take a bite.
