Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 235 Late Night
Although Jiang Miaojin is the Princess of Xian, she is just in her prime and is actually not much different from Yun Yi and Zhu Que.

Prince Xian Su Xin married her only to expand his power in the court and challenge his brother Prince Su Cen, and there was no real love between them.

This romantic prince never forced his love on a woman who "didn't like" him, believing that a forced marriage wouldn't be sweet. Of course, he was the only one who believed this.

Su Xin didn't touch Jiang Miaojin because he was afraid of her relationship with the Zhengqi Sect. He didn't touch Song Xinci because the other party was too high up and couldn't even touch a piece of her clothes. He didn't touch Tingni because the gap in their realms was too big.

This person is the one who has the desire to steal but not the courage to do so.

The more Jiang Miaojin got to know Su Xin, the more she felt Yun Yi was trustworthy. Plus, the three of them were of similar age, so there was no barrier between them.

Zhuque insisted on going to Zuixianlou to see what was happening, so she took the initiative to help him out, saying, "Zuixianlou is a mixed crowd, and it's also the best place for private conversations. I just don't know who sent the flower letter."

Yun Yi had some speculations and said, "The first possibility is that this flower letter was written by Prince Duan Su Cen. He didn't believe that Su Xin escaped Crescent City alive, so he deliberately asked me to meet him to test him."

Jiang Miaojin: "That's indeed Su Cen's style. Now that he has no backers, he must be more cautious."

Yun Yi: "The second possibility is that it might be an invitation from a prisoner from Dayan."

Jiang Miaojin's eyes lit up: "I haven't thought about this."

"They originally planned to bet on Su Cen, but now that Su Cen has lost his power, he seems to be in a hopeless situation. Therefore, they have set their sights on Su Xin, wanting to test whether this King Xian would also... sell out his country for personal gain."

"If Da Yan is betting on both sides, how can they get the most benefit?"

"The eldest princess must die no matter what. As for Prince Xian and Prince Duan... only one should be left alive. Daxia will have a regent suppressing the young emperor, and there will be no peace from now on."

Zhuque asked, "So, isn't it dangerous to go to Zuixian Tower?"

Yun Yi had seen through her thoughts long ago and said with a smile: "For the real Su Xin, it might be a bit risky. But for me, it's just an insignificant test."

This was true. With Yun Yi's cultivation level at the Return to Void Realm and the many preparations he had made with Su Qing, he wasn't afraid of the Great Flame prisoners killing people. He was only afraid that they were hiding and refusing to take action.

The only thing that Yun Yi was afraid of was the person who used Dayan as a chess piece.

That person must be from Futian Pavilion, but no one knows who he is.

Could there be some deeper meaning behind provoking a war between Da Yan and Da Xia? Yun Yi couldn't help but ponder this.

……

Zuixianlou is actually somewhat similar to the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce and Liuxianzhan, which are spread across Jiuzhou.

They are backed by immortal forces, so they can ignore secular rules and form their own faction.

The person behind the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce is the famous "Jiang Family" among the cultivation families. This family is different from the righteous and evil paths, and is an independent force that is detached from the world.

Just like the Sword-Forging Villa in the world of the painting, it is neither a righteous sect nor an evil sect, but it can still stir up trouble.

The owner behind Liuxianzhan remains a mystery, but since he can command a Pixiu to be the shopkeeper, it means that his power cannot be underestimated.

Maybe it has some relationship with the demon tribe in the earth.

As for the Zuixianlou in Dong'an City, it was a joint effort of many forces. It was not only opened in Daxia, but also in Xijing City in Dayan.

According to the rules here, unless you are a cultivator in the Return to Void Realm, when you come here you can either drink or pick flowers, but you are not allowed to use force under any circumstances.

Otherwise, it would be a disrespect to the major immortal cultivation families. Unfortunately, Yun Yi happened to be at the Return to Void Realm, and already had a trump card that Zuixianlou could not afford to offend, so he acted without any scruples.

At this time, in Zuixian Tower, a corpse was lying in front of a woman.

The corpse was pierced through the heart by sword energy. The person who attacked her must have deliberately left her a chance to live for a cup of tea, wanting her to come back here before dying.

In this way, her origins would be revealed.

Liang Shangjun happened to be nearby and sighed upon seeing this: "Su Xin's cultivation has skyrocketed. He has already reached the Return to Void Realm."

The woman half-leaned on a scented couch, her gauze slipping off her shoulders, revealing a winding tattoo on her collarbone. It was a peacock, a mythical bird similar to the phoenix, and the sight of it was enough to stir a sense of wonder.

Her name is Ye Lan. She is a hidden agent stationed in the capital among the prisoners of Dayan. She was placed in Dayan long before the "crucification" plan was launched.

As a famous fairy in Zuixian Tower, this chess piece will play its due role as long as the time is right.

This woman's face is as red as a lychee, and the corners of her eyes are outlined with a triple halo, which makes her eyes full of charm. A small mole on the tip of her nose seems to be a "flaw" in the painting of beauty, but a closer look reveals a long aftertaste.

Ye Lan smiled charmingly: "He is so eager to show off his strength. In my opinion, Su Xin is still a reckless man. There is no change."

Liang Shangjun asked, "Have you ever had contact with him?"

"Of course. In the past, Prince Xian and Prince Duan were both guests of my bed. Otherwise, what do you think I have done in Daxia?"

"In your opinion, is there any possibility that Prince Xian Su Xin would betray Daxia?"

"Su Cen covets the imperial power, while Su Xin is even more ambitious. He wants to attain the Tao and become an immortal. To him, worldly power is just a stepping stone."

Liang Shangjun agreed deeply: "That's right, without ambition, one would not be able to reach the Return to Void Realm."

Ye Lan said confidently, "As long as we find the vital point, whether it's Prince Duan or Prince Xian, we can use them."

"Anyway, I don't want to understand all these twists and turns. I'll leave it to you to decide how to do it." Liang Shangjun looked like an ordinary man, neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin.

He has no beard and his face has no memorable features. People like him are most likely to steal things without leaving any traces.

Ye Lan asked, "Where is our prince now?"

The prince she was referring to was naturally Helian Ran of Dayan.

Liang Shangjun replied, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince followed Daxia's eldest princess Su Qing all the way, intending to kill her along the way. Unexpectedly, Su Xin suddenly appeared midway, so the Crown Prince specifically ordered us to slow down our actions."

Ye Lan sighed, "Su Qing hasn't returned to Dong'an City yet, and she's taken in a large number of people rescued from the Tiancan Sect and the Dique Sect. If we don't kill her now, we might miss the opportunity."

Liang Shangjun: "His Royal Highness noticed that Su Qing was deliberately slowing down her pace. He felt that she had already noticed the 'crucifixion' plan. If we act rashly, we might fall into a trap."

"Alas, the Crown Prince has been in the palace for so long, I'm afraid he doesn't understand that time waits for no one."

Liang Shangjun didn't dare to respond. He didn't have the courage to talk about Helian Ran behind his back.

Ye Lan can rely on her beauty to commit crimes and speak without restraint, but others cannot.

The person behind her is the Great Yan State Master - Lu Ziwei, who herself came to a foreign country early as a spy. Even Helian Ran had to be polite to her when he saw her.
