In the afternoon, Daqian Palace, the harem.
Tie Sanniang and Bi You'er were walking along the corridor under the leadership of the palace maid.
Biyou'er looked at the corridor fifty steps away, and there was a female guard wearing a fancy dress who looked surprised and asked in a low voice, "Miss, why are there so many people in the harem suddenly?"
Hearing this, Tie Sanniang looked at the palace maid in front of me who was leading the way. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw no reaction. She turned back and glared and said, "If you can't speak, don't speak."
"oh."
Biyou'er quickly covered her mouth.
Soon, the two came to a courtyard.
Entering the courtyard, a palace appeared in front of them.
There are three big characters written on the palace plaque.
'Mingyue Pavilion'
As the name suggests, this is the residence of Princess Mingyue, the first princess of Daqian.
"Please wait a moment, both of you, let me inform the princess first."
The maid came to the palace and called softly, "Your Highness Princess Qi, Miss Tie is here to see you."
The sound came out, and the palace was silent for a moment before a voice came from inside.
"By order of the princess, please invite Miss Tie to enter the palace."
Hearing the sound, the palace maid opened the door and made a gesture of invitation, "Miss Tie, please come in."
"Trouble."
Tie Sanniang nodded and walked into the palace with Bi You'er.
As soon as they entered the palace, another palace maid appeared in front of them.
"You two, please come with me."
After saying that, he took the initiative to lead the way through the palace.
During this time, the palace was empty and quiet.
But Tie Sanniang, who has innate cultivation, discovered that there were many people hidden in the palace, and they all had cultivation.
She also vaguely sensed many auras that were not weak to her.
Soon after, the two came to a palace door again.
The palace maid did not announce this time, but directly opened the door and made a gesture of invitation.
"You two, the princess is waiting inside."
Tie Sanniang nodded and walked in, and Bi You'er quickly followed.
After entering this time, Tie Sanniang saw white gauze curtains hanging in the room not far away.
Behind the gauze curtain, there was a graceful figure leaning on the bed.
"Sanniang, You'er, you are here."
The figure behind the gauze curtain sat up and said in a soft voice, "Come here, give Sanniang and Xiaoyou'er a seat."
"Yes, princess."
The two palace maids carried two chairs and placed them next to Tie Sanniang and Biyou'er.
After Tie Sanniang sat down, she looked at the layout of the hall, "Mingyue, what are you..."
The figure is none other than the owner of this palace.
Princess Mingyue──Zhao Yue.
"Ahem."
Suddenly, a coughing sound came from the gauze curtain, and the voice became more delicate. "I have been infected with wind and cold recently. I am afraid of infecting others, so I closed the gauze curtain to block it."
Hearing this, Tie Sanniang showed a hint of worry on her face, "Didn't you ask the imperial doctor to take a look?"
Princess Mingyue said softly, "The imperial doctor has seen it. It's not a big deal. You don't have to worry."
Tie Sanniang breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."
Suddenly, she seemed to think of something, "Mingyue, do you know that Uncle Anyuan's Mansion was destroyed by the Prime Minister's Mansion today?"
"have no idea."
It took a moment before a voice came from inside the gauze curtain.
Thinking of this, Tie Sanniang couldn't help but said softly, "It's all that damned dude's fault for daring to do something bad... Forget it, he deserves to die anyway."
As if she was afraid of exposing her best friend's wounds, she changed her words temporarily.
Princess Mingyue said softly, "It's over."
Although she said so, Tie Sanniang felt a hint of complexity in her ears. Obviously, her princess best friend was not as carefree as she seemed on the surface.
But that's right, how can any woman resolve her knot so quickly when encountering something like that?
Afterwards, the two chatted about some more things.
Maybe it was because Princess Mingyue was ill, so Tie Sanniang spent most of the time chatting with Princess Mingyue about interesting things she encountered outside.
Especially when talking about recent events, Tie Sanniang's tone became much cheerful.
Tie Sanniang chuckled and said, "You don't know that our silly wanderer was deceived by that guy."
Biyou'er puffed out her pretty face and looked dissatisfied, "I'm not stupid, they are all bad people, too bad."
Tie Sanniang said with a smile, "I don't know which girl turned pale with worry when she heard me say that the guy was dead."
Princess Mingyue also said softly at the right time, "If You'er really likes you, you must ask Sanniang to help you check it carefully."
"Princess, Miss, you..."
Bi You'er's face turned red, and she didn't know whether it was because of shame or anger, or because she had been guessed.
The three of them chatted for a while. Tie Sanniang realized that it was already late, so she stood up and said, "It's getting late. Mingyue, if you are sick, go to bed early. It's time for You'er and I to leave."
"Okay, I'll have someone take you off."
"Trouble."
So, at Princess Mingyue's greeting, the palace maid led the way and sent Tie Sanniang and Bi You'er out.
...
After a stick of incense.
After Tie Sanniang and Bi You'er left completely, Princess Mingyue's voice came from behind the gauze curtain.
"All of you, please go out, I'm going to rest."
Hearing this, voices came from all over the palace, "Yes, Your Highness the Princess."
Not long after, after confirming that everyone hiding in the room had left, a voice suddenly sounded in the empty room.
"You had a good attitude towards your friend just now, why don't you use that tone when talking to me in the future."
Princess Mingyue's voice suddenly sounded in the room.
But the strange thing is that although it is the same voice, this voice is not as soft as before, but has a vague feeling of charm.
Soon, Princess Mingyue's voice sounded in the room again.
"is it possible?"
Although it was only three words, the voice once lost the softness and charm it had before. Instead, it was unusually cold, just like the cold bright moon in the sky, giving people an infinite distance.
"Is it possible that you still don't believe me?"
"Why do you want me to believe you?"
"But, you are really me, I am really you, and no one can change this."
There was a touch of teasing in the charming voice, which seemed to be speaking to the cold voice.
"Then I don't believe you either."
"Forget it, believe it or not, but I believe you will beg me sooner or later."
"Why am I asking you."
"Haha, you are me and I am you. I don't believe you can't feel the abnormality in your stomach. I have calculated the time and it has been three months since we came to Tiankui."
"Is it your fault?"
"Hehe, I don't have this ability. It's all thanks to my benefactor."
"Your benefactor?"
"Well, it's the guy who ran over three months ago. Without him, I wouldn't have had the chance to come out."
There was a serious tone in her charming voice.
The cold voice paused and then said, "So you took my body and begged my father for mercy?"
The charming voice chuckled, "Don't just blame me, we are asking for mercy together. If you don't agree, I can't completely control your body."
The cold voice was silent for a moment, and then said slowly, "I just don't want Qing'er to hate me."
The charming voice said, "It's useless to talk about it now. My benefactor was secretly killed by our father, and even her home was destroyed today."
"But having said that, based on what I know from the correspondence between you and her, that little girl is most likely not a person who doesn't know what is right and wrong. This is what my cheap benefactor did wrong, isn't it?"
A cold voice said, "To be honest, I should also thank him."
The charming voice said, "You really should thank me, otherwise you might be engaged to your cheap cousin after the banquet that day."
"Compared to being suppressed by a man for a lifetime, being suppressed by a man for only an hour is obviously more profitable."
There was a hint of embarrassment in the cold voice, "What are you talking about?"
The charming voice said, "Just telling the truth, men and women are not the same thing."
A cold voice said, "I won't talk to you anymore, I'm going to sleep."
The charming voice said, "Let's sleep together. Remember what I said. If you really can't hide it that day, beg me. Since we are the same person, I might be able to help you."
A cold voice said, "I don't need your help."
A charming voice said, "Haha, there are some things that are not up to you."
After that, the room fell into silence again, as if nothing had happened.
...
At this time, outside the palace city.
Tie Sanniang and Bi Youer sat in the carriage and drove to Tie's house.
"I said You'er, what do you think about us recruiting your bad guy over?"
After finishing the matters at hand, Tie Sanniang thought about the man who held her secret again.
Biyou'er's eyes lit up, but soon dimmed, "Miss, the bad guys have already rejected you, do you still have a chance?"
"snort."
Iron Lady wiped her face and chuckled, "Opportunities are given to those who are prepared. I don't believe there are men who my Iron Lady can't deal with."
Hearing this, Biyou'er became more motivated, "Then leave it to you, miss. Bring him back and tell us a story. He hasn't finished telling the story he promised me last time."
Tie Sanniang thought about it carefully and said, "Then after we go back, let someone investigate his identity and information, and then find his weaknesses and attack him in one fell swoop."
This is also her most commonly used method.
Because as a businessman, the thing she doesn't believe in most is human nature. In her opinion, all businesses have insufficient chips.
She didn't believe that she couldn't control a man with her ability.
Half a month later.
When she came home and asked someone to investigate, she was stunned.
"That's all his information?"
Under the pavilion, Tie Sanniang held a piece of paper in her hand, a look of disbelief flashing in her beautiful eyes.
On the paper in her hand, there were only very simple pen and ink.
Outside the pavilion, Tie Xin half-knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice, "To report back to Miss, that's all."
"We only found out that the place where he first appeared was in Yumen Town. The first contact person was a young gatekeeper at Yumen Pass. However, the line was cut off when the news reached the young gatekeeper. He refused to reveal the identity of the investigation target."
Hearing this, Tie Sanniang frowned slightly, "Then the gatekeeper won't say anything?"
"Um."
"Did you give money?"
"I gave it, I didn't ask for it, I just refused to say it."
Having said this, Tie Xin suddenly said, "If Miss allows it, my subordinates can find a way to get him to speak."
Tie Sanniang's face darkened. She wanted to win over people, not make enemies.
If it's an enemy, then she doesn't mind using some tricks.
Thinking of that person, if she dared to do that, she felt that the result would be very bad for her.
"never mind."
Tie Sanniang waved her hand, "There is no need to continue the investigation, let's leave it at that."
Hearing this, Bi You'er asked from the side, "Miss, are you giving up?"
"give up?"
Tie Sanniang chuckled, "I have never given up on this in my life."
At this moment, no one knew what she was thinking.
...
at the same time.
On an ancient road in the eastern part of Daqian.
A carriage was driving slowly among them.
"whispering sound!"
Li Dao, who was sitting in front of the carriage, suddenly sneezed.
At this time, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Jiu'er's head popped out with a distressed look, "Master, I told you to wear more clothes."
Hearing this, Li Dao himself was stunned.
How could he get sick and catch a cold with his body nearly a hundred times that of an ordinary person? However, he didn't know what the cause of his sneezing was, and he couldn't refute his little girl.
Not long after, Jiu'er came out holding a coat.
"Sir, it's almost mid-autumn, and it's getting colder and colder here. Please wear more clothes."
Seeing the stubborn look on the little girl's face, Li Dao knew he couldn't resist, so he took the coat and put it on his shoulders.
Then, she also added another piece of clothing to herself and sat beside Li Dao. She asked softly, "Master, when will we stop on this journey?"
Li Dao stretched out his hand and touched the girl's head, "Don't worry, it will be there soon."
"Gu Gu."
At this time, a muffled sound sounded.
Xiaojiu'er's face suddenly turned red.
"ha."
Li Dao couldn't help laughing, "You must be hungry, girl."
Xiao Jiu'er pouted and said, "Master, aren't you satisfied with all the dry food?"
"Okay, I won't laugh at you anymore."
Li Dao recalled it in his mind for a moment, then said, "Okay, there is a village ten miles away. Let's see if there is any food there."
The reason why he said this was not because he had been here before, but because he had already memorized the map in his mind.
Hearing this, Xiaojiu'er's eyes lit up, and she hugged her young master's arm and shook her, "Master, tell the horse to go faster."
"knew."
Li Dao flicked his riding whip, and the carriage sped up and headed forward.
After the time of one stick of incense.
"Master, look, there is a village ahead."
Looking along the road, Xiaojiuer stood on the carriage and pulled Li Dao and said.
"I see it."
After Li Daogang finished speaking with a smile, his ears twitched slightly, his expression was startled, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
