Fairy, shut up! I'm really not blondie.

Most people probably couldn't keep up with his pace.

but--

Her Highness slowly uttered an "Oh?" and said softly.

"I thought that Xiao Qing was absolutely loyal to Her Majesty the Empress."

"Since you know my target is the dragon vein, why did you let me go?"

The boy's eyes flickered slightly.

A complex expression flashed in his eyes.

For an instant.

A multitude of emotions seemed to flash across his eyes.

Available soon.

He suppressed them all again.

The boy regained his composure.

Hear the words.

He simply took a sip of tea and said calmly.

"This is my business, Your Highness need not worry about it."

"Perhaps it's because the eldest young master used to visit the Su residence frequently, so there's some goodwill between them."

"In short, Princess, you only have this one option now. If you don't agree, I'll have to tell my sister everything and let her decide."

Ji Lanxue choked for a moment.

If Su Qingxian were to get involved...

I certainly won't get away easily.

But...

Judging from the boy's reaction, it seems that he has found something interesting to use against him?

Her Highness's eyes darted around.

Subsequently.

She lowered her eyes.

Her long eyelashes fell down, and she looked somewhat dejected.

Turn around.

Her black hair brushed against the boy's chest.

Ji Lanxue said quietly.

"If Xiaoqing asked me to do this."

"Then let's do it this way. I accept losing to you."

"However, there is still one wish I haven't fulfilled."

"what?"

"Before I leave, I want to visit the dragon vein in Yunzhou."

Ji Lanxue spoke slowly, her tone and voice carrying a touch of sadness that evoked pity and tenderness in those who heard her.

"It's been planned for so long."

"But I'm not satisfied with this ending. I want to see it one last time, is that alright?"

now.

Her Highness's voice even carried a subtle hint of pleading.

I feel pity for you.

The boy frowned.

It seems like they want to say something.

However, Ji Lanxue spoke first.

"I know you don't believe me, Xiaoqing."

"You can place restrictions on me, or you can seal my power directly. I'll do anything to put your mind at ease."

"I have only one wish, and if you don't grant it—"

There was a pause.

She smiled slightly.

He seemed to give a wry smile, then muttered something.

"It seems there's nothing I can do."

"That's all."

"In that case, let's just forget about it."

Done.

She slowly walked towards the door.

They deliberately slowed down.

I counted the numbers in my head.

If she guessed correctly—

Just walked to the door.

suddenly.

The boy's voice rang out.

"and many more."

"Okay, I promise you."

"However, for safety reasons, I must place a restriction on you."

Ji Lanxue curled the corners of her mouth.

He revealed a confident smile, yet his voice carried a quiet sense of relief.

"Thank you, Xiaoqing."

After agreeing on a meeting time.

Ji Lanxue then slowly left.

Until that graceful figure disappeared from sight.

The boy slowly withdrew his previously pitying expression and revealed a meaningful smile.

"Are you setting a trap for her?"

suddenly.

A familiar, cool voice rang out from the window.

Su Qing looked up.

window.

I don't know when there was another person.

She wore a light blue dress, and her face was as white and clear as ice and snow.

Her long black hair draped over her shoulders, and where it rolled down, lay a long sword.

Just standing there, it was as if a goddess from the heavens had descended upon them.

Her entire being exuded a cold and aloof aura that kept people at arm's length.

Gu Beihan.

When she noticed the boy looking over, a strange light flashed in her cold eyes.

But it disappeared in an instant.

The boy seemed unsurprised, merely glancing at her before speaking indifferently.

"How to talk."

"I don't call this digging a pit, I call it letting those who are willing take the bait."

"Also, have you finished your work? Isn't it a bad idea to slack off at this time?"

Gu Beihan, holding his sword, spoke slowly.

"The matter at the North Gate has been completely resolved."

"That Palace Master Qin is very capable and has a great understanding of the people. He can handle things very well without us."

"Also, don't change the subject."

Su Qing smiled mysteriously, and then said.

"What's the point of just talking? Why don't you come and see for yourself?"

Gu Beihan: "..."

Mysterious.

But that’s fine.

Just right.

She was quite interested.

"When?"

"Tonight."

soon.

Night falls.

Near the ancestral home of the Qin family.

Ji Lanxue arrived nearby early in the morning, but instead of rushing in, she obediently found a place to wait.

but--

Is that really what she thinks?

Naturally not.

today.

The way Su Qing behaved in front of him.

It seems.

He still harbored some affection for his eldest princess.

By showing a little weakness, I got him to agree to it.

Humph.

If I had known it was this easy, I wouldn't have bothered with all that backstabbing and intrigue.

Ji Lanxue naturally wouldn't let go of the opportunity to complete her plan.

Having already secured all four dragon veins, how could she possibly give up this last one so easily?

in fact.

After completely purifying the black current, Ji Lanxue's first thought was to go directly to the dragon vein.

But soon.

She calmed down again.
