Chapter 415 Not hating is the limit
Xiao Yuanyi looked at Wuyou with a radiant smile.
“Master Wuyou, as long as the cause of this chaos disappears, the world will still belong to the Xiao family. Then the country will be peaceful and prosperous, and the vision you seek will naturally be realized.”
Wuyou smiled faintly, "Your knowledge and experience are truly remarkable, and I admire you greatly."
He expressed his admiration, but did not respond to Xiao Yuanyi's words.
Seeing this, Xiao Yuanyi smiled and threw the chess piece into the chess box.
"Master, there's no need to rush to give me an answer. I'm already content that you were able to see me today. I will come again, and I hope that next time I come, you will give me a satisfactory answer."
With that, she got up and left.
Wuyou watched Xiao Yuanyi's retreating figure.
The smile gradually faded from his face.
The young disciple in the meditation room asked, "Uncle-Master, who exactly is this person?"
Wuyou said calmly, "A person who returns with resentment."
The young disciple was completely confused when he heard Wuyou say, "Inform the disciples in the temple that I will be going into seclusion and will not see anyone until I emerge from seclusion."
The young disciple quickly agreed.
A carefree retreat is a big deal.
After all, half of the incense money for Xiangguo Temple comes from Wuyou.
At the Prince of Zhenbei's mansion, Qin Jinzhi had just woken up when she heard people arguing in the courtyard.
Qin Jinzhi pushed open the door and saw Yun Jin and Xiao Saijin fighting over a package.
"Your Highness! You can't go! Even if you want to go, you have to let the princess know!"
Xiao Saijin tried to snatch it twice but failed. He looked at Yun Jin with surprise, thinking how strong this girl really was.
"Give me the package, and I'll travel light and be right back."
Yun Jin refused to budge an inch, saying, "Your Highness, if you find out I couldn't stop you, you'll definitely punish me!"
Qin Jinzhi frowned slightly and asked, "Yun Jin, what are you doing?"
Yun Jin's eyes lit up as soon as she saw Qin Jinzhi, and she quickly said, "Princess! The Eldest Princess is going to the Chu Kingdom to steal the Orchid Grass for you!"
Qin Jinzhi's frown deepened. "Go to the State of Chu to find the Orchid Grass?"
Yun Jin looked at Xiao Saijin with a wary expression, truly afraid that she would run out of the mansion in the blink of an eye.
"A sentry reported that the Orchid Grass might be in the hands of the Chu royal family. When I was telling Yun Que about this, the Princess overheard me, and as a result, the Princess packed her bags and was about to go to Chu!"
Qin Jinzhi walked to Xiao Saijin's side and said, "Grandma, you're so old, why are you still so passionate? Putting aside whether the news is true or not, even if it is true, we can just send someone to look for it."
Xiao Saijin slapped her on the head. "I've already asked that Director Liu. You only have two years left before the poison takes effect! If we can't find this Orchid Grass by then, your life will be taken by the King of Hell!"
Qin Jinzhi covered her head. Just then, a fat man in armor walked out of the door.
"Ah Jin! Are you ready?!"
Qin Jinzhi said speechlessly, "Fatty!"
Fatty adjusted his armor.
It was a bit tight; I barely managed to squeeze into it.
Fatty touched his bald head. "Kid, wait until I, Fatty, slaughter my way through the Chu Kingdom and snatch the Orchid Grass back for you!"
Qin Jinzhi closed her eyes and then shouted, "Someone, remove Fatty's armor!"
Xiao Saijin is still at a stalemate with Yun Jin.
Yun Jin quickly said, "Your Highness, the sentry only said 'suspected,' not 'certain.' If you go there rashly, wouldn't that be like a lamb entering a tiger's den?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Saijin threw the package aside.
The servant beside him had already removed the fat man's armor.
The moment the armor left his body, Fatty let out a long breath.
Qin Jinzhi looked at the two of them and said, "Grandma, I will not play with my life. No one cherishes my life more than I do."
Xiao Saijin calmed down; he had indeed acted impulsively just now.
Upon hearing news of Lanzhi Grass, he disregarded everything else.
Just then, a maid at the door announced, "Princess, someone from the palace has arrived."
When Granny Li appeared in Qin Jinzhi's courtyard, she respectfully greeted Xiao Saijin.
"Greetings, Your Highness. Her Majesty heard that you have returned to the capital and is very concerned about you. Her Majesty wishes to see you."
As if afraid of being rejected, Granny Li quickly said, "Her Majesty said that since we have been apart for so long, we will not meet in the palace. The weather is fine today, so Her Majesty invites you to the imperial palace to enjoy the flowers."
Xiao Saijin was silent for a moment, then said, "Lead the way."
Qin Jinzhi quickly followed.
Xiao Saijin looked at her, "What are you doing following along?"
Qin Jinzhi chuckled, "I'll be Grandma's driver."
The carriage headed towards the imperial palace.
Upon arriving outside the palace, Qin Jinzhi jumped off the carriage.
"Grandma, I'll be waiting for you outside."
Granny Li looked around, then came to Qin Jinzhi's side and grabbed her hand.
"My goodness, please apologize to the Empress! It's been so long since I've been to the palace!"
Qin Jinzhi smiled and said, "Granny, you know that even if I back down, Grandmother will not agree to let me go to the battlefield."
Granny Li said anxiously, "My little princess! You are the only heir of the Qin family! Why do you insist on going to the battlefield! The battlefield is dangerous. If something happens to you, how will His Majesty and the Empress survive!"
Qin Jinzhi patted Li Mama on the shoulder, "Go in quickly, the Empress Dowager must be getting impatient."
Granny Li sighed as she looked at Qin Jinzhi's smiling face.
Xiao Saijin followed Granny Li toward the imperial palace.
"After all these years, you're still the same outspoken person. No one else would say such things to a girl."
When Li Mama heard Xiao Saijin's words, she smiled and said, "Your Highness is teasing this old servant. Only Your Highness and Your Highness can tolerate my coarse nature."
Xiao Saijin smiled and said, "After all these years, you've become much better at speaking Mandarin. It's remarkable that you could maintain such composure in the deep palace."
Upon entering the palace, Granny Li led Xiao Saijin to the palace's small pond.
The empress sat by the pond, holding a fishing rod.
Xiao Saijin approached.
Then they heard the Empress mutter, "Why isn't the fish biting? Rainbow Ring, cast the bait!"
Xiao Saijin smiled and said, "With your method of baiting, sister-in-law, we can wait for the fish to turn belly up today without even fishing."
The Queen turned around in response, smiling as she did in her youth, and called out to her, "Ah Jin, you've come! Hurry, hurry! You're a fishing expert; I haven't caught a single fish!"
Xiao Saijin smiled and stepped forward to take the fishing rod.
The two showed no signs of estrangement despite not having seen each other for so many years.
We just sat together by the pond.
Soon after, a fish took the bait.
The Queen said angrily, "Why are these fish selectively serving their catch? I haven't caught a single one!"
Xiao Saijin smiled and asked, "How have you been these past few years, sister-in-law?"
The Empress looked at Xiao Saijin's fishing rod and asked, "Does Ajin still resent your brother?"
Xiao Saijin didn't speak, but calmly looked at the surface of the pond.
Suddenly, the fishing hook jerked violently, splashing water onto the surface.
Xiao Saijin did not reel in the fishing rod, but instead let go of it.
The fishing rod sank to the surface of the water.
Xiao Saijin turned to look at the Empress, "Not hating is already my limit."
The water has returned to calm.
But the price is losing your fishing rod.
