Kunlun Jade Shattered



Kunlun Jade Dies

"Evil?" Chai Jing repeated blankly.

Luo Jin looked at the sky above his head. It was late at night, the sky was gloomy, without a single star, and the darkness was so oppressive that it made people feel suffocated.

She slowly began to speak: "In our time, there was a profession called 'psychologist'. One day, a well-known psychologist discovered that her seven-year-old daughter used her father's scalpel to peel out the hearts of mice in the laboratory."

"The psychologist was a little worried, but she still comforted herself by saying, 'The child just has a talent for anatomy.' Until the daughter was eight years old, one day she was called to the dormitory by a male teacher, who said he wanted to tutor her. This incident was accidentally told by her classmates, and a female teacher who learned about it was very uneasy. She immediately called the security guard and rushed into the male teacher's dormitory."

"Everyone was horrified to see that the little girl had cut one of the male teacher's organs into pieces, sprinkled seasoning on it, put it on a plate, and forced him to eat it. When she was taken away, she looked innocent, saying that the male teacher himself said it was 'delicious' and she just wanted to help him and added seasoning to it."

"After a long rescue, the male teacher finally saved his life, but he could no longer have children. Amid the strange looks of the crowd, the psychologist silently transferred her daughter to another school. After returning home, she forced her daughter to be 'hypnotized'. She wanted to eliminate the 'evil' in her daughter. She wanted her to forget all the roots of the 'evil' and to do this, she erased all her related memories."

"She succeeded. Her daughter became an innocent and lovely child again, living like a normal person. She even forgot her own 'evil'."

"But on deserted nights, my daughter would be confused to find that her clothes were always stained with something like blood for no reason..."

"She is pure white without the 'evil'. Then, I am the pure black 'evil' itself."

"I was once awakened by my 'sister', but I didn't expect that after traveling through time and space, there would still be a 'sister' to wake me up again."

"Huh..."

Chai Jing didn't understand what she heard. She had never heard of many of the words.

Chai Qi's anxious voice rang out from afar, "Ah Jing! How are you?"

Chai Qi galloped over from afar, jumped off his horse, squatted beside Chai Jing, and held her with his hand, "How are you?"

"No...strength." Chai Jing panted laboriously, "I...used 'Thousand Tribulations'."

Chai Qi was silent for a moment, turned his head and glanced at Ruan Qin's body lying in the distance, "You killed him?"

He looked at Luo Jin standing aside, frowned, and said with some disgust: "The princess was so badly injured, but you are unharmed, you really take care of yourself."

Luo Jin raised his bloody hand, lowered his eyes and took a look, and said coldly: "You can't even protect your own sister, waste!"

"You..." Chai Qi clenched his fist.

She actually dared to talk to him like this!

He was about to say something when Chai Jing quickly pulled his sleeve and said, "Brother... forget it, I feel so bad, let's go home..."

Chai Qi was concerned about Chai Jing's injury and ignored Luo Jin. He carried Chai Jing onto the horse, turned around and told the guards to clean up the scene, and rode away.

The head guard walked towards Luo Jin and asked, "Do you want me to send someone to take you back?"

"No need." Luo Jin said, turning around and walking deep into the alley at the other end. When she reached the entrance of the alley, she suddenly turned around, turned her hands into claws, and grabbed into the darkness.

A shadow flashed out from the darkness and dodged her attack. The man turned around and looked at her, surprised and said: "Luo Jin? How could you..."

Luo Jin's eyes became crazy again, "You wanted to attack me last time, right? I killed you!"

"When did I... oh, the time when I assassinated Jiang Ge?" The man hurriedly dodged to the side, but the attack still tore off a piece of flesh from his shoulder, and blood immediately flowed.

"Crazy..." The man turned and ran, he used all his skills to move all the soles of his feet, the speed was extremely fast, and disappeared into the night in an instant.

Luo Jin's eyes gradually became clear at this time, and she looked ahead in confusion, "That back figure seems to be... Han Erniu? Ah... Princess!" When

Chai Jing returned to Lihua Palace, the emperor immediately sent all the doctors there, and he also put aside all his affairs and came to Lihua Palace to visit.

Doctor Yu knew that the emperor loved his only daughter very much, so he naturally did not dare to be careless. He was very dedicated during the diagnosis and treatment, and he wanted to use all his skills.

"The princess's injury is not serious," Doctor Yu reported, "but after using the secret medicine, her body is extremely weak. I will prescribe some tonic medicine, and she will recover in a month or two."

The emperor was relieved and waved his hand to let Doctor Yu go.

"Fortunately, everything is fine!" Chai Heng patted his chest, "But I was so scared. How could I encounter such a terrible thing!"

Chai Qi heard that his sister was fine, turned his gaze to Luo Jin who was standing beside him, and waved to her, "Come here!"

Luo Jin was stunned, "Me?"

"Yes!"

Chai Qi turned and walked towards the study on the side. Luo Jin was somewhat afraid of this prince, but she still followed him.

Luo Jin entered the study, and Chai Qi suddenly swung his palm towards the door. The door was brought to the door by his palm power and suddenly closed.

Luo Jin jumped up in fear. She took a step back and stammered: "Your Highness... want to... do what?"

This pervert who kills people at every turn, will not kill her here? It's true that she didn't protect the princess, but it's not a crime worthy of death, right?

Chai Qi sat behind the desk, raised his eyes and looked into Luo Jin's eyes, and said thoughtfully: "I have reflected on it, you are right, I... am indeed a waste."

Luo Jin widened his eyes and waved his hands quickly, "I didn't say that, absolutely not! Your Highness must have remembered it wrongly, how dare I scold Your Highness? I respect and love Your Highness so much, the sun and the moon can testify to that!"

At most, he scolded her in his heart...

Chai Qi sighed lightly, lowered his eyes and said: "Let's not talk about this, Jing'er said she didn't see the person who saved her, what about you? You were there too, did you see it?"

"The person who saved her...?" Luo Jin thought of what happened that day. She was distracted at the time, and somehow walked to the alley a hundred meters away. She remembered that the princess told her to run away, and she must have been too scared, so she left the princess behind and ran away. In this way, she was really disloyal.

"Didn't the princess kill that bad woman Ruan Qin and save me?"

"..." Chai Qi was a little disappointed, "That's right, you don't know martial arts, and you were scared at that time. Ruan Qin was killed by someone who ripped out her heart. She was an expert at the eighth level, and she could have killed her with one move..."

Luo Jin suddenly thought of someone, "I seemed to have seen Han... Yue Qinghai that day! Could it be that he saved the princess? Impossible... He doesn't rip out people's hearts, does he? That pervert likes to chop people into three pieces. Come to think of it... his method of ripping out people's hearts is indeed more perverted."

"Yue Qinghai? He came to Weicheng? What did he come for?" Chai Qi's eyes sank, "He is not so kind as to save Jing'er, and with his skills, it would take at least ten moves to kill Ruan Qin. It is impossible to kill her with one move. It is easy for experts below the ninth level to deal with those at the eighth level, but it is not so easy that they can kill her with one move."

"Then... is it General He who has returned?" When He Xiao was mentioned, Luo Jin's eyes lit up.

"He didn't come back, and... he couldn't do it either."

"Ah? Then who can do it? The ninth level... is there still a distinction between upper, middle and lower levels? I thought the ninth level was already the most powerful."

"Of course there is, could it be... impossible, he can't come to Weicheng..." Chai Qi said to herself, "Who could it be?" Luo

Jin said, "Anyway, since this man saved the princess, he must be a good person, but he is indeed a pervert..."

After saying that, she sneezed, a little confused, "Who said something bad about me?"

Chai Qi waved his hand: "Okay, you go down."

Luo Jin was as if pardoned, and quickly opened the door and ran away.

Chai Qi silently watched her back as she ran faster than a rabbit.

Where did the energy that frightened him before go?

Chai Jing was unable to get out of bed until the Empress Dowager's birthday, so the Empress Dowager came to see her in person after the birthday banquet and brought her some food.

Chai Jing felt a little embarrassed, "I asked my eldest brother to arrest all the people in the Yu Music House, so the Empress Dowager could only temporarily find a very mediocre orchestra to play music, and I had to trouble the Empress Dowager to come to see me in person..." The

Empress Dowager said cheerfully, "Doctor Yu said that I should move around more, which is good for my health. In fact, I can't hear any good things. Some music to liven up the atmosphere is enough. I was really scared to death. It turns out that the entire Yu Music House, except for the zither player named Chen, are all spies of Hanyuan! The emperor is too stupid to let you go to such a dangerous place!"

Chai Jing did not reveal that Chen Changmo was also a spy, and had him buried with great honor. She only said that he was an ordinary zither player who risked his life to protect her when Ruan Qin attacked. She even had his broken piano repaired and buried with him.

The emperor: "..."

He didn't even dare to talk back when he was called incompetent to his face. He did feel very guilty. He underestimated the strength of this group of people and almost killed his own daughter.

But he still didn't know who saved his daughter. Looking at Chai Jing's flashing eyes, he knew that she knew it in her heart but just refused to say it. Seeing

the emperor's embarrassed face, Chai Jing hurriedly said: "Isn't it okay for me? I have made a great contribution! Prince brother said that those spies from the Yulefang have obtained a lot of useful information!" The queen mother

smiled and said: "It is indeed a great contribution. I will make the decision. When you are fully healed... I will make you a king!"

Chai Heng opened his mouth in shock and was about to cry.

Luo Jin was all smiles. Not only did the princess survive, but she was also crowned a king. Then she would follow the princess and become a female official in the princess' fiefdom. Wouldn't she be able to get whatever she wants?

"By the way, Deputy Envoy Luo also played a role in this case... and the rebellion case of Prince Ruchuan that was just uncovered was also discovered by Deputy Envoy Luo," the emperor glanced back at Luo Jin and said, "I will reward you according to your merits."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Luo Jin's appointment came down the next day. The emperor crowned her as the Shaoqing of the Taichang Temple, a fourth-rank official, and sent the female official's clothes along with the imperial edict.

Luo Jin was puzzled and asked Chai Jing: "What does this official do? Fourth rank... sounds like a very important official! Does he have great power?"

Chai Jing was lying on the bed reading a story book. He shook his head and said, "He is in charge of trivial matters such as rituals, music, and ancestral temple sacrifices. It is a sinecure and has no real power."

Although Luo Jin has made contributions, Chai Jing also knows that the emperor will not hand over power to her because of this, so it will only be an irrelevant sinecure. Those who can make the emperor give up power must be confidants after repeated inspections, and Luo Jin is not at that level yet.

She thought Luo Jin would be unhappy, but when she turned around, she saw Luo Jin smiling happily.

She smiled and said, "It just so happens that I have an idle house near the Taichang Temple. Although it's not big, it's clean. I'll give it to you. It will be convenient for you to go to work in the future."

"Ah? Really?"

[The boss actually gave me a house! ]

[The job of Shaoqing of Taichang Temple is too suitable for me. This job sounds like a good job where I can slack off and make money! It's a fourth-rank job! I heard that the salary of a fourth-rank official is not bad, and the retirement benefits are also very good. ]

[Life is perfect...]

Chai Jing smiled at her and shook her head helplessly.

She is indeed a person without ambition. Others want power, but she just thinks about slacking off and living a retirement life all day long, which are completely unmotivated things.

But seeing her so happy, Chai Qing couldn't help but feel happy.

At night, Chai Jing had just fallen asleep when she was suddenly awakened by a noise. She stood up and asked, "What happened?"

"It seems that an assassin has entered the palace!" A little palace maid's voice trembled, "I heard someone shouting to catch the assassin... I don't know where he ran away..."

All the guards in the palace were dispatched, and there was a lot of noise. Luo Jin was also awakened, put on his clothes and walked out.

"Protect the princess!" Luo Jin hurried to Chai Jing's room.

A vicious voice came from outside the door, "These guards are really troublesome. Go capture the empress dowager, the princess, or someone of high status who has no power to resist. If we have a hostage, they won't dare to chase us."

"I know! It's written on the map that the Lihua Palace where the princess lives is in front of us. Go capture the princess! The princess should be easier to capture than the empress dowager, right?"

The guards outside the Lihua Palace immediately shouted, "Catch the assassin!"

Several screams rang out, and the door was slammed open from the outside. Two figures flashed into the Lihua Palace like ghosts and rushed directly towards the princess's bedroom. The two men were extremely fast, and the palace maids in the courtyard had no time to stop them. They broke into the princess's bedroom as soon as they raised their feet.

The maids outside shouted anxiously, "Help! The assassin has broken into the princess's bedroom!"

Chai Jing's body has recovered to a large extent, but seeing the two people coming and going like the wind, she knew that the other party's strength was far superior to hers. She was not fully recovered yet, so it was impossible for her to use the secret medicine again to improve herself in a short time. Moreover, the other party had the ability to dominate the palace, and his strength was beyond her imagination. Even if she was promoted to the eighth level now, it would be of no use.

Her hands were shaking slightly, and she pulled Luo Jin behind her, "You... who are you? What... do you want to do?"

Luo Jin recognized one of them at a glance. Although she was afraid, she still mustered up her courage and shouted loudly: "Han Erniu! It's you again, what do you want to do? Do you want me to..."

When Yue Qinghai saw Luo Jin, his face suddenly changed. He grabbed his companion's arm and ran away, shouting: "This guy is not to be trifled with, run! Quick!"

His companion didn't understand, grabbed something and threw it out, and ran away.

Chai Jing saw Yue Qinghai's frightened face and said in amazement: "Why did he... run away?"

She turned her head to look at Luo Jin, and thought of the previous things in her heart, and she probably had some clues.

Luo Jin was puzzled, "Does he care so much about his reputation? He is so afraid that his past will be known... He didn't even hesitate, he ran so fast!"

She thought of what happened a month ago, "I said I seemed to see Yue Qinghai at that time, it turned out to be him! What did he do in the palace? To assassinate?"

"Then my father and grandmother..." Chai Jing ran out anxiously, "Let's go and see!"

"Okay!" Luo Jin followed closely.

When they ran to the yard, the noise outside had become smaller, and the sound of chasing and shouting had gone far away. It sounded like Yue Qinghai and his accomplices had run far away. Chai Jing suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground.

"Princess..." Luo Jin hurried to help her up, and looked back at her feet, but he didn't find any obstacles that could trip her. He wondered, "How could she fall on the flat ground?"

The princess was a seventh-level martial artist, and she was considered a master. Although her body had not recovered, she shouldn't be so weak, right?

"I..." Chai Jing's body suddenly softened and fell into Luo Jin's arms, no longer moving.

"Princess!" Luo Jin turned around, but found that several palace maids, like Chai Jing, suddenly fell down and never moved again.

At dawn, the entire palace was sprinkled with lime powder, and from a distance it looked like a heavy snowfall.

In the Chaoqian Palace.

Luo Jin stood nervously aside. It was the first time she was called into the Chaoqian Palace.

"Lord Luo, tell me what you saw then?" the emperor asked. "Now among all the people in Lihua Palace, you are the only one who can speak."

Luo Jin recounted everything he saw yesterday without hiding anything. After the princess fell, all the palace maids and guards also fell one after another. When she came to her senses, she found that she was the only one who could still stand.

The emperor was silent for a while after hearing this, and then he said, "Yesterday, the two assassins sprinkled a lot of insects in the Pear Blossom Palace, and everyone was bitten. You... are lucky. Did you see those insects?"

Luo Jin shook his head, "No, maybe they are too small. It's dark and the vision is not good. I didn't see any."

Chai Qi entered the palace at this time, bowed and reported, "It has been cleaned up. Those insects are afraid of lime powder and have been killed. But... those who were bitten by the insects have no way to get rid of them. I invited a doctor overnight. He has already checked on his master who knows the art of using a dragon. Currently, a total of 52 people have been bitten by a dragon. Some of them have woken up, but they have all lost some of their memories to varying degrees. "

The emperor stood in front of the desk with his hands behind his back, his face solemn, "Lian Qing'er was bitten by a dragon, we must find a way to get rid of the dragon. But last night, that thief named Yue stole the "Gu Jing", it's really... damn it!"

Chai Heng said anxiously, "Is there no other way? My sister hasn't woken up yet, what can we do?"

The eunuch outside came to report, "Mr. Shi is here!"

"Send!"

An old man with white hair and beard entered the Chaoqian Hall and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, may you be safe! I have checked and found that this is a kind of snake called 'Forget Dust'. I am incompetent and cannot solve this snake unless... I can see the 'Gu Jing'."

Although Luo Jin knew that he should not speak carelessly, he still couldn't help but blurt out, "Is the princess' life in the hands of the person who cast the snake? Can he kill the princess at any time? The princess is in great danger now, isn't she?"

"That's not the case," Mr. Shi replied. "What the gentleman is talking about should be a kind of 'mother-child dragon'. The person who controls the mother dragon can control the dragon child from a distance of thousands of miles. But the kind among the princesses is not like that. The mother dragon cannot control the dragon child. After the oblivion enters the body, the person who is infected with the dragon will gradually lose his memory. If the dragon cannot be freed, he will eventually become... a fool. This kind of dragon is raised to be used as a weapon. Just sprinkle it on the crowd, and the dragon will fly to the person by itself, drill into the person's body, and make the person faint in a short time. Fortunately, the cost of raising it is too high, but it is not a big deal. They won't appear on the battlefield on a large scale."

Luo Jin gritted his teeth in hatred, "That bastard actually dared to do such a vicious thing to the princess!"

Mr. Shi sighed, "Corns are very difficult to raise, and most of them can only be used to harm people. The previous emperor put the "Gu Jing" in the palace because he didn't want more people to know how to raise insects, so as to prevent them from harming people. The reason why it was not destroyed was that there were still people who knew how to use insects in the folk. The "Gu Jing" recorded the method of solving the problem, which could be used to save people. But I didn't expect... it would be stolen by thieves!"

"Then... Mr. Shi, can't you think of a way to release the pig?"

Mr. Shi shook his head helplessly, looking apologetic, "The ancestors of the Shi family did raise pigs, but they thought they were too harmful to people, so they stopped raising them. I only know a few superficial things, and really... I can't help you."

Luo Jin stomped his feet in anger, turned to the emperor and asked, "Such an important document as "The Classic of Pigs" is not backed up? How do you do it?"

Chai Qi looked at Luo Jin in shock. She actually dared to be so rude in front of the emperor!

But the emperor just lowered his head silently, sighed and said: "I'm sorry..."

After a long time, he raised his head and said in a deep voice: "I will kill Yue Qinghai and take back the "Gu Jing"! Cure all those who have been infected with the Forgetful Gu!"

Upon hearing this, Chai Heng immediately stepped forward, "Your son is willing to go!"

Chai Qi followed and stepped forward, blocking in front of Chai Heng. He looked back at Chai Heng, bowed and said: "Your son got the news that Yue Qinghai fled to the west, I'm afraid... he went to Xiyuan! We can't send people to Xiyuan to arrest people, so... Your son is willing to go and catch him in person! Take back the "Gu Jing"! "

Chai Heng hurriedly followed and objected: "No, you are the prince, what if you are caught in Xiyuan? Let me go!"

"Can you beat Yue Qinghai if you go?" Chai Qi frowned, "Only I can go! At least I have the skill of the eighth level. If I take the secret medicine at the critical moment, I can still fight Yue Qinghai! If you go, you will never be able to beat him no matter what. What's the point of going?"

Chai Heng still disagreed. He stamped his feet anxiously, "But you are the prince! What if you are caught? It will be like Jiang Ge..."

"There's no way I'll be caught!" Chai Qi interrupted him and said in a deep voice, "I may die in battle, but I will never be caught! If I die in battle... Dongyuan will be left to you to guard."

Chai Heng's breathing stagnated for an instant, "Brother..."

The emperor pondered for a long time and said, "Now only Qi'er has this ability. The border situation is tense and He Xiao can't be transferred back. Okay, I agree! You... be careful in everything."

Luo Jin took a deep breath, made up his mind, stepped forward, clasped his hands and said, "I'm willing to go with you!"

When these words came out, the three of Chai's father and son were stunned.

Chai Qi turned his head and glanced at her, "I know you are loyal to the princess, but you know neither martial arts nor the art of fighting. You will be a burden if you go there. You should stay in Lihua Palace and take good care of the princess!"

Luo Jin raised his eyebrows, "Have you seen Yue Qinghai?"

Chai Qi lowered his eyes, "Indeed... I haven't seen him, but there is a portrait!"

"Portrait? With the level of your portraits, you can't recognize him after a little disguise, right?" Luo Jin turned to the emperor and said, "Let me go with you! At least I know Yue Qinghai! He won't not recognize him even if he stands opposite me!"

The emperor pondered for a while, and finally nodded, "Okay, Shaoqing, let's go to Xiyuan together. If the trip goes well, I... will reward you handsomely!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

When Luo Jin heard the words "high rewards" for the first time, she felt no emotion at all, and the person who said this was the emperor.

After she left Chaoqian Hall, she went to Lihua Palace to see Chai Jing.

Chai Jing had already woken up and was putting on her makeup. When she heard someone come in, she turned around and asked Luo Jin with a pair of blank eyes, "Who are you?"

Luo Jin forced a smile, "I am... the princess's maid."

"Oh... then come and help me put on my makeup!" Chai Jing turned around and looked at the mirror in front of her, "Which hairpin should I use... Well, this one!"

Luo Jin saw Chai Jing pick up the red jade hairpin she gave her and put it into her hair.

"Does it look good?" Chai Jing turned around and looked at Luo Jin.

"Beautiful!"

Chai Jing tilted her head to look at Luo Jin, and asked curiously: "Although I don't know you, why do I feel that... I like you very much?"

Luo Jin was slightly stunned, and smiled: "Thank you, Princess."

"Princess?" Chai Jing looked at her, "Who is the princess?"

"You are the princess."

"Oh... then who are you?"

"I am... a palace maid."

"Oh... then who am I?"

After Luo Jin left, Chai Qi said to the emperor: "Everyone in the entire Lihua Palace was bitten by the dragon, except Luo Jin. She looks like an insider, very suspicious!"

The emperor pondered and said: "Yue Qinghai obviously knows where the "Gu Jing" is hidden. He sneaked in disguised as a guard and used the Wangchen Dragon to knock down all the guards. If it weren't for a few high-ranking guards who held out for a longer time, they might not even have found his shadow. To be able to do this, there must be an insider in the palace."

Chai Heng hurriedly said: "It can't be Luo Jin! It's definitely not her. She was lucky not to be bitten. She is definitely not a bad person."

Chai Qi said: "Guang and Hidden weapons are different. You don't need to aim accurately. Just put it in a crowd and it will find someone to bite. It is much more useful than hidden weapons. The assassin put a bunch of snakes in Lihua Palace. Those snakes will look for everyone in Lihua Palace to bite. Why don't they bite Luo Jin? "

The emperor said, "It is indeed suspicious, but it can't be confirmed that it is her. If she is really an insider, isn't it too suspicious? Besides, with her identity, how did she know where the "Gu Jing" was hidden? "

Chai Heng was anxious, "It's not her! It's definitely not her! She is a good person, the best person in the world, she will never hurt Jing'er!"

After these words came out, the emperor and Chai Qi fell silent at the same time.

Then Chai Qi spoke: "Do you like her?"

"How do you know... No, that's not right," Chai Heng shook his head repeatedly, "It has nothing to do with this, anyway, I believe in her."

The emperor and Chai Qi looked at each other silently, and at the same time showed an expression of "love brain is really terrible".

The emperor said, "We can't be sure it's her, but it may not be. You observe carefully along the way. If there is anything abnormal... anyway, she doesn't know martial arts, so you can deal with it."

Chai Qi said, "Yes!"

When Chai Heng left the Chaoqian Hall, he pulled Chai Qi's sleeve and said nervously, "Don't doubt her. She is really very, very good. You are a suspicious person, and I am worried. You won't do anything to her, right?"

Chai Qi was entangled by him all the way, and pulled back his sleeves helplessly, "I know, I know, as long as she doesn't do anything out of line, I won't touch her."

"What is considered an out-of-line behavior?" Chai Heng was still worried.

"Just... attack me or something like that."

"Oh, she wouldn't do that. She doesn't know martial arts. You're an eighth-level master, why would she attack you? She's gentle and kind, she definitely won't disgust you."

Chai Qi was extremely speechless.

It can be seen that his younger brother really likes Luo Jin.

Gentle and kind?

Chai Qi remembered the fierce look in Luo Jin's eyes on the night when Chai Jing was attacked. This hypocritical woman pretended to be so good in front of Chai Heng, and easily won the heart of his silly brother.

He is not so easily fooled!

Grand Tutor's Mansion.

Luo Jin followed Chai Heng in through the back door and didn't see anyone passing by along the way. When he walked to the backyard, he saw a team of guards guarding the door.

"Second Prince!" The guards bowed.

"Open the door!"

Qin Huaying had moved back to the Grand Tutor's Mansion, but she did not live in the attic where she lived before. Instead, she moved into the most remote courtyard. There were several layers of guards around the door, and the defense was extremely strict.

Her belly was already very big, which made it inconvenient for her to move. She could only take a few steps in the courtyard with the help of her maid.

Seeing Chai Heng coming in, Qin Huaying's face turned cold and she subconsciously took a step back.

She still remembered how she was caught by Chai Heng in the land temple that day, and her beautiful life was ruined since then. She originally thought that she had the opportunity to become the Crown Princess of Xiyuan, or even the Queen of Xiyuan, but now she has become a prisoner, imprisoned in this small courtyard, and even her father is not allowed to visit her.

"Second... Your Highness... what's the matter?" Qin Huaying's face was pale, one hand on her belly, and her voice trembled.

"You don't have to be afraid, I came... just to ask you for a token." Chai Heng forced a smile, trying to make himself look more friendly, but his smile was obviously not very friendly, and Qin Huaying took a few steps back.

Luo Jin took a step forward, and her smile became much more sincere. She smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, Sister Qin, we have no bad intentions. We just have to go to Xiyuan to do something, and thought that Sister Qin hasn't seen the Crown Prince of Xiyuan for many days, and maybe he has something to pass on. Although Miss Qin can't go to Xiyuan in person after not seeing each other for many days, if there is a token, it can also ease the homesickness, right?"

"You are... that palace maid, right?" Qin Huaying recognized Luo Jin and felt relieved. "That day... thank you, if it weren't for you, the child might have been lost. Now think about it, I was really impulsive at that time. The child is getting bigger and bigger in my body, and I... am really scared. If it were then..."

She stroked her belly gently, and her eyes softened.

Luo Jin approached Chai Heng and lowered his voice, "Second Prince, please go out first, I'll talk to her."

Chai Heng nodded helplessly, "Okay, it's not right for me to be here, she looks very afraid of me."

He said, turned around and left the courtyard.

Luo Jin walked closer, stretched out his hand to support Qin Huaying, and helped her sit in the house. She sat aside with a gentle smile, "Actually, I'm not afraid that you will know. It's the princess... the princess was put under a spell by the people from Xiyuan, and a book called "The Book of the Dragon" which records how to exorcise a snake was stolen. The emperor was very angry and almost went to war with Xiyuan!"

Qin Huaying's eyes tightened and her face changed, "Ah? Is that true? Then..."

Luo Jin nodded, "Yes, if we go to war with Xiyuan, then... you might be in trouble. Fortunately, the emperor is sensible. He said that this matter might not be assigned by the royal family in Xiyuan, so he asked me and... the second prince to investigate the matter. After all, once the war starts, I don't know how many people will be killed."

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty is wise!" Qin Huaying swallowed and asked nervously, "Then why are you looking for me..."

"You also know that the Second Prince has a personal grudge against Prince Jiang Ge. If we go to Xiyuan, I'm afraid Jiang Ge will catch us and chop us to death without saying a word. Then we will really have to go to war..." Luo Jin looked worried, "So I thought of asking Miss Qin for a token, so that if I am caught by Jiang Ge, I can save my life."

Qin Huaying was silent for a long time, she pointed to the inner room, "There is a red sachet in the drawer on the left side of my dressing table, you can take that, if you have the chance to give it to him, that would be... pretty good."

Luo Jin walked to the inner room, and sure enough, he found the sachet in the drawer of the dressing table. The drawer was full of sachets, and it seemed that Qin Huaying really liked making sachets.

An idea suddenly occurred to her mind. She picked up a black sachet and waved it, "I found it!"

Qin Huaying's face suddenly changed, and she stood up anxiously, "It's not that one... No..."

Luo Jin had already understood, "It turns out that Sister Qin's sachet has a deep meaning. Sister Qin is so smart and beautiful. No wonder Jiang Ge likes you so much."

Qin Huaying sighed and sat down slowly. She looked at Luo Jin, "You're welcome. Miss Luo is both smart and beautiful. It makes sense that His Royal Highness the Second Prince likes you."

Luo Jin put away the red sachet, closed the drawer, and smelled it. Yan quickly denied, "Don't talk nonsense, the Second Prince and I are just colleagues... we are just ministers in the same court."

Qin Huaying smiled charmingly, "Do you know? I have learned all kinds of women's work, poetry, dancing, chess, and various skills since I was a child. Do you think I learned them because I like them? I learned these things to please men. In order to maintain my figure, I force myself not to eat my favorite food. I work so hard just to have the best man fall in love with me."

Luo Jin didn't know why she mentioned these. She walked out of the inner room and looked at Qin Huaying in a daze.

"So, of course I know what kind of eyes are really in love." Qin Huaying lowered her eyes and looked at her belly, "You are lucky, you don't have to suffer like me."

Luo Jin was slightly stunned, and then asked back: "What about Jiang Ge? Does he really like you?"

Qin Huaying smiled lightly and said slowly: "More than... like..."

Luo Jin was stunned for a moment.

"Go see my father," Qin Huaying smiled mysteriously, "It will be good, believe me."
