Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 260: The picture shows the dagger
After being moved, the sisters realized that the two of them were on different sides and should be enemies.

Zhuque asked, "Why did you become a prisoner, and what are you going to do in Daxia this time?"

Hong Ling replied, "Prince Dayan ordered me to monitor Prince Xian's residence. If Prince Xian chooses to help Su Qing, I will use the fire of ignorance to reduce this place to ashes, and then rush to the palace to help."

"What a deep scheming! This prince claims to be joining forces with King Xian, but secretly made such an arrangement."

"I haven't asked you how you got involved with King Xian yet. He has a terrible reputation and is not someone you should entrust your life to."

Upon hearing this, Suzaku blushed and scolded, "Sister, don't talk nonsense!"

Seeing this, Hong Ling was even more certain that her sister had fallen in love. She sighed and said, "It's strange. The person you saw in the Fountain of True Heart was obviously not King Xian."

As she was speaking, a bold idea came to her mind. She suddenly raised her eyes to look at Suzaku, and her eyes met with her sister's eyes full of guilt.

"Could it be that King Xian...is not Su Xin?"

"Well, his name is Yun Yi, and he is considered my uncle-in-law."

"Son-in-law? Were you kidnapped to be a maid? Then who is your young lady? Are you going to be a concubine?"

Faced with his sister's barrage of questions, Suzaku chuckled for a while before calming down and explaining, "Anyway, he's a good man. I'll tell you the details later. First, we need to find a way to get through this difficult situation."

Hong Ling glared at her sister. Although her face was disfigured, it still revealed an indescribable charm.

Zhuque asked, "Sister, which side are you planning to help now?"

Hong Ling answered without thinking: "Nonsense, of course I'm helping you."

"What do you say to Dayan?"

"No need to explain, I don't owe them anything. Wherever you are, Xiaoque, I'm there."

Zhuque was moved when he heard this. He leaned into his sister's arms and said, "Actually, Yun Yi had already guessed that you were my sister. It's just that we couldn't find any trace of you and couldn't confirm it."

Hong Ling was surprised and said, "This fake King Xian is quite scheming. Tell me, what mission did he assign you?"

"He said that if we recognize each other, we should not reveal it to anyone for the time being and continue to maintain a hostile relationship."

"He wants me to secretly attack the Crown Prince of Dayan?"

"No, he said that as long as I can persuade you not to help Helian Ran, that's all that's needed."

Hong Ling pondered for a moment after hearing this and then asked, "How did he expect me to come to Prince Xian's mansion?"

Zhuque winked and said, "Of course it was because someone among the prisoners tipped him off."

"What? You actually have a traitor among the prisoners?!" Hong Ling was extremely shocked. She really didn't expect that there would be a traitor among the prisoners of Dayan who were all in the Return to Void Realm.

The two sisters exchanged glances, and both let out a light shout, and suddenly the giant red cocoon exploded.

Zhuque retreated quickly and returned to Jiang Miaojin's side. He pretended to cough twice, as if he had suffered some minor injuries.

Hong Ling in the air looked unhappy too. She put on her hood again to cover her face, then formed seals and cast a spell, causing the fire of ignorance to gather around Prince Xian's mansion, but no longer move inward.

She said in a cold voice: "From now on, you can only enter Prince Xian's mansion and not leave, otherwise you will be burned to death."

Zhuque agreed, "Humph, you're just a grasshopper in autumn, you won't be able to jump around for long!"

After saying that, she pulled Jiang Miaojin back to Prince Xian's Mansion and told everyone in the mansion not to leave easily, otherwise the person outside would definitely not be soft-hearted.

Jiang Miaojin asked doubtfully, "Is the arsonist the Great Flame Prisoner?"

"Yes, it seems that the main battlefield is the palace. They want to use the palace to threaten Prince Xian."

Hong Ling seemed to be using the Wuming Karma Fire to trap Prince Xian's Mansion, but in fact she was protecting the place and preventing the news from leaking out. She thought that someone among the prisoners was secretly colluding with Yun Yi, so she felt that she didn't have to worry about betraying the prisoners.

Anyway, I'm not the only traitor.

I just don’t know who that person is?
……

In the palace, Helian Ran had the upper hand. With four against two, it was difficult for him to lose.

But he always had a vague sense of foreboding in his heart, and after seeing Prince Xian Su Xin, this premonition became even more obvious, as if something bad might happen at any time.

Yun Yi urged, "What are you waiting for, Prince? Why haven't you made a move yet?"

Helian Ran secretly contacted Hong Ling with the jade talisman, but received no reply. He immediately guessed that something had happened at the palace.

He clenched the blood-red Miao Dao in his hand and looked at Liang Shangjun, Ye Lan, and Shan Changqing in turn. Finally, his gaze fell on Prince Xian and said, "Since Prince Xian has no intention of interfering, how about leaving the palace?"

Yun Yi: "That's a bit unreasonable. The palace is my home, why should I leave?"

"To be honest, I cannot rest easy if Your Highness Prince Xian stays here."

"What are you afraid of? Even if I help Su Qing, it's only three against four. Aren't you still the one with the upper hand?"

Helian Ran sighed, "Your Highness Prince Xian is so all-powerful, I really can't believe what you're saying."

Yun Yi praised: "As expected of the Great Yan Crown Prince, he has some brains and is more than just a reckless man."

After saying this, Ye Lan suddenly felt a fierce murderous intent explode around him, and his figure immediately retreated, just in time to reach Yun Yi. Liang Shangjun remained motionless, not believing that the prince would attack him at all.

Shan Changqing took a half step back, but soon stopped.

Ye Lan bowed to Helian Ran and said in a gentle voice, "Please forgive me, Your Highness."

"I just had some doubts about you, but I didn't expect you to be so guilty." Helian Ran said coldly: "Ye Lan, are you going to betray Dayan?"

"I am not betraying you, but there is something else going on in today's situation. Please pay attention, Your Highness."

"Are you going to join forces with King Xian?"

"I am naturally loyal to Great Yan. How could I submit to the King of Great Xia?"

Helian Ran said angrily, "You are still full of lies even when facing death. Today I will use you as a sacrifice to my sword!"

Just as he was about to attack Ye Lan, at the critical moment a figure appeared not far away, exactly the same distance as Su Qing, Helian Ran and Yun Yi.

She wore a wide robe with big sleeves, had a gentle and elegant temperament, and her black hair was tied up with a Haoran scarf. What a good female teacher.

Helian Ran gnashed his teeth and said, "Lu Ziwei, you actually came to Daxia too?!"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is imprisoned and unaware of it. I have no choice but to come here to pick you up."

"If the Imperial Master had not betrayed Great Yan, he should have joined forces with me to kill Su Qing, and then take advantage of the situation to kill the Great Xia Emperor. Only then would we be worthy of Great Yan!"

"Forget it, you have always been dull-witted. I don't want to waste time talking to you." Lu Ziwei sighed. She and Helian Ran were incompatible. She didn't expect that she couldn't convince the other party even in Daxia.

At this time, Shan Changqing asked softly, "Your Highness, are there any changes to the plan?"

Liang Shangjun felt like his head was about to explode. "What's going on? Which side are the Imperial Master and Ye Lan on?"

Shan Changqing: "With the Imperial Preceptor and Prince Xian here, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to kill the Princess of Daxia."

Liang Shangjun: "How about... come back another day to kill people?"
