CHAPTER 1 - TREASURE STEALING CAPTURED

Xichen City, within the Third Marquis' Mansion.

The moonlight was dim, the night breeze cool, and the air was suffused with a sense of solemnity and solemnity.

On a large tree at the back of the Third Marquis' Estate, a beautiful figure hid behind a leaf and looked at the warehouse not too far away. Her crafty eyes could not conceal the excitement in them.

Today was the day of the wedding between the Third Marquis, Chu Mubai, and the princess of the Southern Kingdom, An Yue. The Southern Kingdom had sent over many wedding treasures and they were currently placed in the warehouse.

As she hid behind a tree, Ling Qingyi could not help but get excited as she thought about the precious treasure of the Southern Kingdom, the Rainbow Glass Lamp, just a few feet away. She took advantage of the gap between the patrolling guards to quickly approach the storehouse.

Looking at the lock on the door, Ling Qingyi lightly fiddled with the silver needles in her sleeves for a bit before immediately opening it. After entering the warehouse, she took out a Night Pearl from her bosom to light up. When she saw the things on the shelves, her eyes couldn't help but light up.

Is the Southern Kingdom really that rich? Isn't this wedding too much of a treasure! Seeing that it was too late to organize, Ling Qingyi quickly swallowed her saliva as she saw the treasures on the shelves, as well as dozens of large boxes of Golden Silk Sauna Wood.

Looking at those treasures, and thinking back that she was still the second largest disciple of the Thief God Sect, the treasures she had saved after traveling in the martial arts world for so many years were actually not even comparable to the one she had with Ling Qingyi.

Seems like reincarnation is really a technical job! Ling Qingyi wiped the tears that did not exist at the corner of her eyes and quickly began to search for the Rainbow Glass.

She went straight to the box in front of her. After she opened it, the room immediately became much brighter. Inside were boxes of Night Pearls of all sizes.

Looking at the Luminous Pearl in her hand and comparing it with the one in the chest, Ling Qingyi took a deep breath and threw the pearl out disdainfully. Then, she took out the biggest pearl from the chest.

As the Night Pearl fell to the ground, it produced a rumbling sound. Ling Qingyi's heart tightened as she thought that she had been too careless. But it was too late. The guard's voice came from outside the door.

Who's inside?

With a stiffened face, he stuffed the Night Pearl into his bosom. However, before he could hide, the door to the warehouse was suddenly pushed open. The light of the lantern instantly illuminated the entire room.

This... So fast...

Ling Qingyi's movements instantly froze. She did not expect that the guard from the Prince's Mansion would be so quick.

Who are you? How dare you intrude into the Third Marquis' Mansion's storeroom! A guard reprimanded him coldly.

I, am just … Haha, I'm just passing by …" Ling Qingyi revealed an embarrassed smile. Because she was too confident in her skills, she didn't even wear a set of night clothes, let alone cover her face. If she were caught, if word of this got out, wouldn't she lose all her face …

Fortunately, there were only two people who came. Just when Ling Qingyi was considering whether she should make a move, she heard an inquiry from behind her: What happened?

Butler Li, this woman suddenly appeared in the warehouse. I wonder who she is! Upon seeing who it was, the guard hurriedly spoke up.

Housekeeper Li's hair was white, there were a few bodyguards with serious expressions behind him, they looked at Ling Qingyi in confusion.

It's over! Ling Qingyi called out in her heart.

May I ask if it's esteemed wangfei?

Wang-wangfei? Ling Qingyi swallowed her saliva, and was a little confused. He was stunned for a moment before nodding his head reflexively.

It really is the princess consort. That's great. Butler Li's face lit up. Esteemed wangfei, why did you come here? Everyone's looking for you!

When the guard heard, he hastened to kneel down. Your subordinate greets esteemed wangfei. May esteemed wangfei forgive any misunderstandings.

Didn't he say so? How could anyone have the guts to come to the Third Marquis' Mansion and steal? Wasn't he tired of living?!

No, no need to be polite! Ling Qingyi coughed and cleared her throat, This Concubine just came out to take a walk.

Although she didn't know what was going on, she still needed to seize this opportunity to quickly escape.

Looking at Butler Li again, Ling Qingyi continued: All of you go down first, this wangfei will be back in a while.

Princess, the prince has come. He's waiting for you at the Clear Moon Restaurant. Please follow me there quickly! Butler Li quickly said.

Ling Qingyi's face stiffened, About that, you guys go first. This wangfei will be here soon.

Reporting to the wangfei, the prince is waiting for you, it's best if you don't delay. Seeing Ling Qingyi's hesitation, Housekeeper Li's heart suddenly tensed up. With esteemed wangfei's current state, she couldn't really be trying to run away, right …

This wangfei is prepared to give prince a pleasant surprise, so all of you go first. This wangfei will come right away. Ling Qingyi's black eyes darted around quickly. She wasn't some wangfei. If she went with them, she would only be helping them out. The most important thing was to get rid of these people as soon as possible.

I wonder what surprises wangfei has prepared for This King?

A cold and proud voice sounded out, like a clanging zither that sounded from the cold moon, causing one's heart to involuntarily tremble.

She had always felt that although her Senior Brother Feng Luodi's character was a little bad, his outer appearance was already extremely good. However, when she saw the person in front of her, she couldn't help but be a little foolish.

It was clearly an extremely cold face, yet it exuded a devilish charm that was both a god and a demoness. The black robe and wide sleeves came striding forward. Every gesture, every action, and every face was filled with charm …

Greetings, Your Highness! Butler Li and the guards quickly knelt down to salute him.

Get up. Chu Mu Han casually swept a glance at them before shifting his gaze back to Ling Qingyi. The corner of his mouth curled up into an unknown smile, This prince's consort, the princess of the Southern Kingdom, An Yue?

His heart suddenly trembled. Ling Qingyi recovered from her shock and quickly realized the situation she was in.

He is the Third Marquis, Chu Mu Han? Judging from his tone, it seemed as if he hadn't met An Yue. Thinking up to here, Ling Qingyi summoned up her courage and answered: I, no … This Concubine, will not … This concubine pays her respects to Your Highness! "

Stuttering, Ling Qingyi was so upset that she almost bit off her tongue.

Her deep eyes seemed to have a hint of a smile in them, but it also seemed to be cold. Chu Mu Han sized up the person in front of him. His charming face could indeed be considered a beauty, but it couldn't be considered a peerless beauty. However, his eyes were brimming with splendor, causing others to stare blankly.

Wherever he went, a group of guards respectfully gave way to him. Are you really Princess Yue Tan?

Of, of course! Ling Qingyi gave a stiff smile. It didn't matter, she had to pretend to get away first.

Oh, so it's like that … Chu Mu Han raised his brows, his eyes filled with interest as he said, Someone, since the wangfei has found her, why don't you announce her personal servant to accompany you?

CHAPTER 2 - SURPRISE?

A personal servant girl … Ling Qingyi, who had calmed down with great difficulty, felt her heart being lifted back into her throat. Indeed, it wasn't so easy to pass off as an imperial concubine.

On the other hand, Chu Mu Han had a faint smile on his face as he observed all the expressions on Ling Qingyi's face. What, does the princess think there's a problem? "

No, no. Ling Qingyi quickly revealed a smile, My prince, chenqie suddenly feels very tired. Why don't we go back first? The most important thing was to leave the warehouse as soon as possible. Only then would he have a chance to escape.

Esteemed wangfei, you should wait first. Before entering the palace, didn't you send someone to say that this servant girl has always been close to you? Moreover, if you insist on staying by your side, won't she be the only one to serve you? I heard that tonight, with this as the reason, all of the servants in my residence were sent out. " Chu Mu Han spoke slowly, but his voice was filled with an innate pressure.

Ling Qingyi quietly swallowed her saliva and immediately understood. She was afraid that this princess had already made up her mind and wanted to run away from the marriage.

Taking a few steps forward, Ling Qingyi said with a smile, Your Highness, how can you say that? Your concubine wasn't sensible before. Your concubine now feels that the servants in the mansion are all very good, and it suits your concubine's wishes. Your concubine's personal servant has always been thinking of home ever since. How about letting her …

Reporting to Your Highness, the maid Bi'er has arrived. The voice of the guard's report interrupted Ling Qingyi, completely breaking the last trace of hope in her heart.

Hm! Bring it in. " Chu Mu Han looked at the frozen Ling Qingyi and replied.

Your servant greets the prince. A green robed little girl knelt on the ground while trembling and bowed to Chu Mu Han.

It was said that the Third Marquis was the one that should not be provoked in the West Stellar Kingdom. Now that the princess had escaped the marriage, was the only path left for her to die …

Look at this, she's your princess.

Bi Er, who did not get angry yet had the imposing tone, trembled once again. She raised her head and followed the crowd's gaze towards Ling Qingyi.

This... She had never seen this girl before!

Bi'er, where's the prince's question? Hurry up and reply! Butler Li looked at the stunned Bi'er and quickly urged her on. At the same time, his face turned unsightly. Could this person really not be an imperial concubine?

It's over, it's over. The flute is all your fault! Although Ling Qingyi tried her best to maintain a calm expression, she had long since cried out her regret in her heart. How could she be so careless? No matter how small the Night Pearl was, it was still a treasure. How could she just randomly throw it away? This was the retribution for not cherishing the treasure!

Yes, yes! Bi'er seemed to have suddenly come back to her senses, nodding as she said, She is the princess.

What? Ling Qingyi looked at Bi'er in disbelief. Did she lose her memory or was this girl crazy? She had never met her before!

Oh? Are you sure?" Chu Mu Han raised his eyebrows and looked at Ling Qingyi with a dark gaze.

Reporting to Your Highness, this servant is certain. Bi'er lowered her head, her body still trembling. However, she was much calmer than before.

The princess said that after she left, she would think of a way to protect herself, so this girl must have been found by the princess to impersonate her. Fortunately, the princess did not abandon her.

Looking at Bi'er, Ling Qingyi suddenly reacted. She was afraid that the real princess had already run away, and this girl was afraid that she would be punished, so she nervously accepted the punishment.

Thinking of this, Ling Qingyi's courage increased by several degrees, Prince, chenqie's personal servant has also come. Chenqie is so tired, I want to go back and rest.

Seeing Ling Qingyi, Chu Mu Han slowly walked forward, Esteemed wangfei, you just said that you prepared a surprise for me, what about that surprise?

Eh … Ling Qingyi was startled. She was just spouting nonsense just now, how could there be any surprises?

What? Don't have one? Chu Mu Han raised his voice.

Yes, yes! He reluctantly took out the Luminous Pearl and passed it in front of Chu Mu Han, Your Highness, this is the biggest Luminous Pearl in this box. Are you surprised that this is a gift to Your Highness?

The bodyguard and Housekeeper Li at the side were dumbfounded when they saw this situation. The Night Pearl could be considered a pleasant surprise. Forget about such a big Night Pearl, as long as the Prince wanted it, without any rare treasures, a single Night Pearl was nothing.

Chu Mu Han looked at the Night Pearl and the smile on his face became lighter. However, when he saw Ling Qingyi's reluctant expression, he felt that it was a bit funny.

When her slender fingers received the Night Pearl, her aloof and luxurious voice rang out, Surprise, unexpected.

Steward Li and the guards …

Men, take the wangfei back to the Clear Moon Restaurant!

Yes. The guards behind him quickly obeyed.

Ling Qingyi stared unwillingly at the Night Pearl in Chu Mu Han's hand. Her fingers were clearly defined, and the Night Pearl that was full of luster seemed to be even more attractive.

Forcing herself to turn her head, Ling Qingyi silently cried in her heart. Right now, she really wanted to retrieve the pill she lost!

The night wind was strong. Although it was still the eighth month, it was already chilly.

In the Third Marquis' Mansion's study, Chu Mou Han stood by the window. He was tall and slender, and just his back made people want to submit to him.

My prince, that girl and Bi Er have both returned to the Clear Moon Restaurant. Qing Feng stood behind Chu Mu Han and respectfully reported.

Got it. As he played with the Night Pearl in his hand, the corners of Chu Mu Han's lips curled up into a smile. That gaze from before seemed to be unwilling to part with it, was it because he was unwilling to part with this Luminous Pearl?

Staring at the Luminous Pearl in Chu Mu Han's hand, Qing Feng continued, Your Highness, An Yue has already fled. She has hidden powers to help her. However, we still haven't found out who she is.

In this Xi Chen, there are quite a few people who wish to see This King become a laughingstock. However, this king's brother, the crown prince of Xi Chen, will most likely be the one bearing the brunt of this! The corner of his mouth curled up into a disdainful smile. She was just a princess who had fled from her parents. Even if he could blow this matter up, it would only be a child's game in his eyes.

Qing Feng nodded in agreement, Your highness suspects the crown prince? Do you need me to check it out?

No need. The black eyes looked at the Night Pearl in his hand. I'll check who exactly this princess who has suddenly appeared belongs to.

Your Highness, this woman's background is unknown. Do we need to deal with her? If someone wanted to use the matter of evading the marriage to make fun of his highness, then what was wrong with this girl? It was likely that someone had deliberately planted himself in the Third Marquis' Mansion.

There's no need for now. I'll check it out first. He didn't know why, but Chu Mu Han suddenly recalled the pair of eyes from before. They were bright and vibrant, cunning and astute, but they didn't seem to be cloudy at all. They were clean and capable of seeing through to the end.

CHAPTER 3 - FAILURE TO FLEE

Inside the sleeping quarters of Clear Moon Restaurant, Ling Qingyi paced back and forth, seemingly very anxious.

So it turned out that Bi'er had treated her as an imposter that An Yue had come looking for her. However, not to mention that she didn't even know An Yue. Furthermore, she was pretending to be a princess.

No! Ling Qingyi heavily slapped her thigh. She had yet to take all the treasures in this world and had yet to become the Sect Leader of the Thief God Sect. She definitely could not fall like this.

He lowered his body and sneaked to the door to take a closer look. Other than the servants, there were also seven to eight guards standing guard outside. All of them had steady steps and looked like they were quite capable.

Are all the palace guards' martial arts so powerful now? Slightly depressed, Ling Qingyi began to regret her decision. Why did she have to be so lazy in the first place? She only wanted to practice her qinggong.

Bam!

Ah!

Miserable screams rang out. Ling Qingyi was lost in thought, she did not expect Bi'er to suddenly push open the door and enter, the heavy wooden door knocked against her forehead just like that.

Ah, are you alright? Bi'er quickly helped Ling Qingyi up. Seeing that the people outside the door were staring at her, she quickly changed her words, Esteemed wangfei, are you alright?

Ling Qingyi clutched her forehead and shouted, It's nothing, it's nothing. He gestured for Bi'er to close the door.

Why did you come in! Clutching her forehead, Ling Qingyi was in so much pain that she grimaced. Since she was young, she was not afraid of anything. The only thing she was afraid of was pain.

I'm worried. Has the princess been informed? Bi'er looked at Ling Qingyi nervously. Just a moment ago, she was afraid that she had lost her head, but now, the more she thought about it, the more nervous she became.

Relax, or do you have any other ideas? Although she opened her mouth to persuade him, Ling Qingyi still felt a little guilty, However, your princess has already run away, why are you still staying here?

The princess told me to hold them here. Bi'er lowered her head.

Tsk tsk, your princess is so 'nice' to you. Looking at Bi'er, although Ling Qingyi sympathized with her, she was not a kind-hearted person.

The princess said she would come back for me. Bi'er mumbled, her voice was obviously not confident.

Don't blame me for not advising you. If you find the opportunity, you should leave as soon as possible. Ling Qingyi took a glance at the situation outside, Do you know how many guards there are outside?

This... About seven or eight. Bi'er thought for a moment. But it's almost midnight. I heard that the servant of the Prince's Mansion said that she would change shifts in the latter half of the night. At that time, there should be more than ten people.

Because Ling Qingyi had been called over by An Yue, Bi Er's words were somewhat more casual.

Change shifts? Ling Qingyi's eyes lit up …

It was already past midnight and the mansion was quiet. While the guards were changing shifts, Ling Qingyi quickly jumped out of the window, climbed up the roof, and quickly crossed over the courtyard wall.

At the moment, the guards in the courtyard were completely oblivious to it, only continuing to concentrate on guarding the entrance.

Luckily we managed to escape. Ling Qingyi let out a long sigh of relief. Just as she wanted to take advantage of the gap between patrols to leave the Third Marquis' Mansion, she hesitated.

If he ran away like this, then it would be difficult for him to enter again in the future.

Seeing the strict guards, two villains quickly appeared in Ling Qingyi's heart.

One made her flee for her life, while the other arrogantly questioned her. Was she going to give up such a good opportunity?

He thought about how he was empty-handed and had even thrown in a Night Pearl, only to end up throwing away a little person in front of him.

The night wind gradually stopped. Ling Qingyi's figure was as fast as a ghost as she quickly moved on top of the roof. Seeing the group of guards patrolling her from a distance, she quickly flew down from the roof and hid behind the wall.

My lord, the crown prince's side seems to have gotten suspicious recently.

A sound came from the room behind her. Ling Qingyi was startled and quickly held her breath.

So what if I'm suspicious? Even if I told him that this king has raised a private army, with his abilities, he wouldn't be able to find anything!

Private! This is... Third Marquis' study?

Ling Qingyi was startled as her face quickly fell. What kind of luck was this! And the third prince had a private soldier? Now that she had heard of this news, if she was discovered, wouldn't it be as good as silencing her?!

In the study room, Sang Feng was somewhat puzzled, Your Highness, what do you mean?

Let him check if the days in the palace are boring and the crown prince is this king's brother. How can this king not let him have some fun? However, what he can find out is not something he can decide.

Yes, Your Highness, your subordinate understands. Qing Feng smiled. If the crown prince found out that it was just a bamboo basket filled with water, he would be even more infuriated than if he did not find out.

Yes. En. Chu Mu Han replied. His gaze continued to look at the window, Are you still not prepared to come out?

Although it was very light, he still felt that there was a person outside the window.

Inside the study room, Wind Following Sword was stunned.

Outside the study room, Ling Qingyi's heart trembled.

She had already hidden her breath, so how could she be detected?

Hearing the sound of patrols getting closer and closer, Ling Qingyi knew that if she ran now, she would definitely be discovered.

This King's patience is limited. If you still want to leave behind your last words, come out right now. With a flip of his right hand, the tightly shut window was instantly shattered.

As the sawdust fell onto her head, Ling Qingyi was so scared that she abruptly stood up, Your, Your Highness.

It's you! Chu Mou Han revealed a slightly astonished expression and his eyes instantly turned cold.

Qing Feng looked at Ling Qingyi in surprise. It seemed that this woman had some ulterior motives, to actually be here to eavesdrop tonight.

Prince … Ling Qingyi had a smile on her face as she tried to make her voice sound as sweet as possible, Chenqie is here to find you.

Looking for This King? Chu Mu Han's lips parted, Are you looking for me to say your last words?

The smile on her face instantly froze. Ling Qingyi nervously swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, Prince really knows how to joke around. Chenqie is only, just that …

But what? The corner of Chu Mu Han's mouth raised slightly, and the smile in his eyes became even more apparent. However, he understood that this was the sign that his master's patience was about to run out.

I just missed you too much, so I came to see you. Ling Qingyi was clearly aware of this point. She glanced at the broken pieces of the window from the corner of her eyes. Her intuition told her that if he were to run now, he would end up as miserable as this window.

Her beautiful, sword-like eyebrows raised as her right hand once again began to gather inner strength. Princess, do you think this prince will believe you?

I … Ling Qingyi bit her lips again and hardened her heart. She put on a fearless look and said, Alright, speak the truth. Your Highness, actually, I have another reason for coming here.

Hearing this, Qing Feng was stunned. He looked at Ling Qingyi with a slightly surprised gaze. Was he about to confess?

Speak. Chu Mu Han stared at Ling Qingyi, but he felt that Ling Qingyi did not seem like she was going to admit to everything.

Your Royal Highness, to tell you the truth, I've come this time to … You want to take back the Luminous Pearl that I gave you before?!

CHAPTER 4 - TO RETURN THE LUMINOUS PEARL

With a thud, the wind beneath his feet slipped, and the sword at his waist struck the corner of the table, producing a dull thud.

Did he hear it right? It wasn't a confession, but a Night Pearl?

Chu Mu Han casually glanced at Qing Feng, and when he turned his head back, there was a hint of interest in his eyes. If you want Night Pearls, then why would the wangfei come sneakily in the middle of the night just to get the Night Pearls back? "

Chu Mu Han purposely emphasized the word 'sneaky', causing Ling Qingyi to feel extremely guilty.

Coughing lightly, Ling Qingyi raised her face as she looked at Chu Mubai, trying her best to squeeze out a few drops of tears, Your highness, to be honest, chenqie really likes that Night Pearl too much. Although I've only separated from it for a short while, I can't sleep at night when I think about it not being with me. This concubine had no other choice, so she decided to come and ask the prince for the Night Pearls.

Cough, cough … Hearing the voice of Ling Qingyi, who had a face full of unwillingness and heartache, Qing Feng could not help but cough as he choked on his saliva. She actually showed such deep affection for just one pill … Luminous pearls?

Seeing Ling Qingyi's passionate voice, Chu Mu Han felt like laughing. Since you want to go back, then why would you need to hide?

This … Ling Qingyi lowered her head and opened her mouth shyly, Aiyo, your highness, after all, is given to you by your concubine. It would be embarrassing for me to come back directly.

After she finished speaking, Ling Qingyi gave Chu Mubai a look that she felt was very bashful.

The corner of Qing Feng's mouth twitched. Was this girl really planted by someone else? Could it be that the Prince's opponent was already so weak that someone with a screw loose had been planted inside his body?

Oh, I see. Seeing Ling Qingyi's small face, Chu Mou Han's thoughts of killing her miraculously calmed down by quite a bit. Then did the wangfei hear anything just now? "

Hear what? Ling Qingyi stared blankly at Chu Mu Han, My concubine was just thinking about how to persuade Your Highness, how to get Your Highness to return the Night Pearl to my concubine. In the end, the window broke, and Your Highness was asking about the sound of the window shattering?

So that's how it is … This King even thought that it was an assassin... " Chu Mu Han walked to the side and picked up the Night Pearl from the table. He slowly played with it as though he was thinking about how to deal with Ling Qingyi.

Assassin, how could that be! Ling Qingyi shook her head like a rattle drum, with a round and smooth little face full of sincerity, Your Highness has misunderstood!

Yea, This King might really have misunderstood. Chu Mu Han looked at Ling Qingyi again, But …

He had just relaxed for a moment, but because of a single sentence from Chu Mu Han, he raised his head again, Your Royal Highness, what, what happened?

However, Princess, you must understand that it is very impolite for you to want to return the things you have given away. Chu Mu Han looked at the Night Pearl in his hand, But this king doesn't like impolite people …

Ling Qingyi looked at the Night Pearl with some reluctance, but she naturally understood that compared to it, her life was more important. She hurriedly opened her mouth and said: Prince, I don't want it anymore, so I'll give it to you.

Seeing Ling Qingyi's expression, the smile on Chu Mu Han became even wider, What's wrong, isn't the wangfei unable to sleep at night and unable to sit still?

Hehe, chenqie … Ling Qingyi smiled awkwardly, Your highness is your concubine's husband. If your highness accepts it, then it would be tantamount to your concubine accepting it.

Yes, the wangfei understands. Chu Mu Han seemed to be in a good mood as he opened his mouth, And …

Ling Qingyi's face stiffened, What else?

Although it's just a misunderstanding, this window is really broken. How about I take the money from Princess Hua-Yang's dowry? Chu Mu Han spoke slowly.

Looking at the shattered window, the corners of Ling Qingyi's mouth slightly trembled, Hehe, Your Highness, do as you please.

Although she really wanted to bring all those cute treasures home, her life was more important now. Fortunately, she was not really An Yue. No, that's not right. If she really was An Yue, then there was no need to steal it. It was all hers …

Thinking about those treasures, even though she was not completely out of danger, Ling Qingyi could not help but be distracted. Once again, she let out a sigh in her heart.

Seeing the lost and beautiful face in front of him, he first revealed an expression of joy and then pain. However, the killing intent in his heart had completely disappeared. Since that's the case, then this prince will thank the wangfei for her generosity. The wangfei can go back first. "

Hearing this, the prince was startled and somewhat surprised. He opened his mouth and said, Prince …

Chu Mu Han glanced at Qing Feng, and the latter immediately stopped speaking.

Ling Qingyi also looked at Chu Mu Han in shock. She can leave just like that? It's that simple? Your Highness, can I really leave now? "

A hint of a smile appeared in Chu Mu Han's eyes, What, Princess, do you want this king to personally send you off?

No, no, no. Ling Qingyi quickly waved her hand. Earlier, she was just spouting nonsense. She had never thought that she would really be able to get away with it. Her heart was filled with ecstasy as she said, Your Highness, then chenqie will take her leave first.

Wait. Chu Mu Han suddenly said.

Ling Qingyi, who was about to turn around, froze on the spot. She felt that her heart was beating too fast tonight. Could it be that Chu Mu Han regretted it?

The smile on his face quickly faded. Heh, is there anything else, Your Highness?

Nothing. I just want to remind you that tomorrow the wangfei is going to enter the palace with me, and I still have some matters to take care of tonight. After wangfei returns, remember to rest early. Seeing that miserable little face covered in wood shavings, that luxurious voice was tainted with a bit of a smile.

Alright, Your Highness, you should rest early as well. Ling Qingyi quickly nodded her head and took a look at the Night Pearl in Chu Mu Han's hand before quickly leaving. She was afraid that if she was any slower, she would be called back.

Prince, do you really believe her? Qing Feng frowned as he asked in confusion.

Does This King look that dumb? Chu Mubai glanced at Chu Mu Han. He naturally didn't believe the nonsense he heard earlier. However, when he looked at the Night Pearl, his eyes were filled with unwillingness to part with it.

Then why didn't Prince kill her? What if she leaked the news …

Chu Mu Han's eyes turned deep, It might not be bad if we leak the news. Let's take a good look at just who she belongs to!

After a moment of thought, Suifeng lowered his head, I understand, I will make the arrangements.

Mm. Also, you can go and arrange the guards outside the Clear Moon Restaurant. The guards in his mansion were all carefully chosen and were not ordinary people. However, from the Clear Moon Restaurant to the study room, no one had noticed her.

With a tense face, Suifeng hurriedly responded, Yes, your subordinate will definitely arrange for someone to guard the area well.

It's getting late, you can leave now. Chu Mu Han asked indifferently. Holding the Night Pearl in his hand, his deep black eyes once again recalled the scene from a moment ago.

From the looks of it, she didn't seem to like treasures that much. Un, this fake An Yue Tang seems to be … Interesting!

CHAPTER 5 - BLACK AND WHITE TRANSIENT

After a sleepless night, Ling Qingyi anxiously left the Clear Moon Restaurant.

Looking at the uniform on her body, her mind was still thinking about Bi'er's warnings from that morning. Ling Qingyi was both nervous and a little … Excited.

Her trip was a royal palace, a gathering place for all the treasures in the world …

Greetings, Your Highness. A bow came from the side and interrupted Ling Qingyi's thoughts. She turned around, and when she saw Chu Mu Han, she couldn't help but be stunned.

Even though she had already been stunned by Chu Mu Han's appearance yesterday, the current him, dressed in a long black robe with some indistinct patterns embroidered on it, was even more majestic and proud when paired with the arrogance between his brows and the temperament around his body. His eyes contained a bit of playfulness, and his smile also seemed to possess a bit of charm that was able to attract people to him, making it difficult for him to escape.

The servants looked at Ling Qingyi's stunned expression, but they were already used to it. If a woman saw that their prince wasn't like this, they would instead find it strange.

Does wangfei intend to keep looking at This King like this? Chu Mu Han opened his mouth as he looked at Ling Qingyi, who had changed into a light purple palace attire. He never expected that this' consort 'of his could be considered a beauty, especially her pair of eyes, which were exceptionally eye-catching.

Prince, you're so pretty. Ling Qingyi opened her mouth stupidly and spoke without thinking. After she finished speaking, she heard the laughter of the servants behind her. Only then did she come back to her senses, and her face could not help but turn red.

Let's go. Chu Mu Han casually spoke as he led the way into the carriage.

However, the corners of his mouth curled up in a smile. He didn't know why, but he felt that this compliment was rather enjoyable.

On the way, Ling Qingyi was exceptionally silent. Her face was filled with nervousness and excitement. After she finished singing Fang Xing, let's go. In the end, her little face looked as if it was crumpled into a ball and she almost became a bun. Even though Chu Mu Han didn't say a single word, he could see everything clearly.

Prince, Princess, we're here.

The coachman's voice interrupted Ling Qingyi's thoughts, They arrived so quickly?

Opening the carriage's curtain, Ling Qingyi jumped off the carriage. The moment she landed, she realized that her actions were inappropriate. She nervously turned her head and met with a pair of smiling eyes.

Princess, how can you get off the carriage before the Prince? The carriage driver looked at Ling Qingyi in surprise.

Hur hur, I was nervous at the moment, nervous at the moment. Ling Qingyi gave an embarrassed smile. Under the coachman's gaze, she climbed back into the carriage. Your Highness, after you.

Looking at Ling Qingyi, the coachman was so surprised that his mouth gaped wide open. Royal Consort … He climbed back up? Moreover, it was really used for crawling …

Seeing Ling Qingyi's actions, Chu Mu Han couldn't help but find it funny, Royal Consort, no need to be polite.

Stepping down from the carriage, his tall and straight figure caused Ling Qingyi to secretly praise him. As expected, he was very good-looking, even when he got off the carriage, he was still quite good-looking.

Ling Qingyi quickly followed him out of the carriage and tidied up her skirt. Seeing Chu Mu Han looking at her, she raised her head and smiled to curry favor with him. It seemed that she still felt a little guilty.

Seeing this expression, Chu Mu Han's heart skipped a beat. From the looks of it, it seemed that … Lovely.

Third brother. A voice suddenly rang out. Chu Mu Chen looked at Chu Mu Han, who was at the entrance of the palace, and walked towards him.

Greetings to Third Marquis. The Crown Prince's consort, Lin Qingrou, dressed in white, gave Chu Mu Han a proper palace salute.

Seeing Chu Mu Chen, the smile in Chu Mu Han's eyes faded slightly, What? The crown prince wants to leave the palace?

I've brought along my princess consort to meet my mother, and now I'm preparing to go back. Third brother and sister-in-law got married yesterday, I presume today we're also here to meet my mother. Chu Mu Chen looked at Ling Qingyi, who was standing beside Chu Mu Han, as he asked, This is the Southern Kingdom's Princess?

Ling Qingyi, who was suddenly surprised and called out, immediately nodded gently, Yes.

Since it was already too late for her to back down, she might as well continue with her act.

Although she's a princess of the Southern Kingdom, since she's already married to my third brother, shouldn't my sister-in-law pay respects to me when she sees me? Although there was a hint of a smile on Chu Mu Chen's face, his voice sounded a bit slow.

An Yue's Oblique! How could she be An Yue Oblique!?

Ling Qingyi's expression froze as she recalled what she had overheard last night. She immediately understood that the crown prince and Chu Mu Han were enemies.

With a smile, Ling Qingyi said to Chu Mubai, Greetings, Your Highness. It was a moment of carelessness on your part. I hope that Your Highness can forgive me.

Heh, if I were to be this negligent after seeing my royal father and mother, it would not be good. At that time, I might even think that I have deliberately neglected them! Chu Mu Chen coldly spoke, but the doubt in his eyes became more apparent.

The smile on Ling Qingyi's face froze as she looked at Chu Mu Han, who was beside her. She discovered that the other party was only smiling faintly and did not seem to have any intentions of opening his mouth. He could only smile and say, "Thank you for your advice, Crown Prince. I was careless just now and bowed a little too slowly.

Ling Qingyi's words made Chu Mu Chen's expression change. He looked at her with a slightly gloomy gaze. Naturally, he wouldn't do that after seeing her parents. From the way he said it, was he really looking down on him?

However, with Ling Qingyi's sincere expression and the fact that they were at the entrance of the palace, it was hard for Chu Mu Chen to flare up. With a cold laugh, he continued, Although I am in Xi Chen, I have heard of Princess An's appearance and circumstances. From the looks of it, how could … It doesn't look like it."

Ling Qingyi's heart trembled, did the crown prince really hear about it, or did he know something?

Chu Mu Han had been silently staring at Ling Qingyi and Chu Mu Chen. Previously, he had guessed that this fake wangfei was the work of the crown prince, but now, it didn't seem like it was the case.

He chuckled lightly, with a hint of impatience, The rumors are not true. It's better for the crown prince not to listen to them.

Heh, third brother is right. Chu Mubai smiled and looked at Ling Qingyi, I still have some matters to attend to, so I'll be taking my leave first.

Yes. Chu Mu Han only coldly replied, without the slightest trace of politeness.

Clenching his fists tightly within his sleeves, Chu Mubai suppressed his anger and turned around to leave. Chu Musheng, there will be a day when you will pay the price for your actions against me!

Chu Mu Chen and Lin Qing Ruo had already left. Chu Mu Han was still standing at his original spot, sizing up Ling Qingyi. That gaze made Ling Qingyi even more terrified.

Could it be that the words of the crown prince made Chu Mu Han suspicious? Please don't!

Hehe, Your Royal Highness, the weather today is really good. Ling Qingyi did her best to change the topic. After she finished speaking, she realized that it was a cloudy day, and there were a few large dark clouds coincidentally overhead.

Yes. Seeing Ling Qingyi's awkward expression, he found it quite interesting. This King really does like cloudy days.

Hehe, chenqie likes it too. Ling Qingyi smiled and said, she did not like cloudy weather. What she liked was the night, and that was the best time for her to get close to treasures.

Seeing that Chu Mu Han didn't take a step forward, Ling Qingyi mustered up her courage to speak up, Your Highness, your clothes are really beautiful.

No matter what, praising others shouldn't be a mistake, right?

Hmm? Chu Mu Han raised his brows, The crown prince is also dressed in black today.

Ling Qingyi looked in the direction that Chu Mu Chen had left in. Indeed, Chu Mu Chen was also wearing a black robe with python patterns embroidered on it.

When her gaze landed on Lin Qingrou, who was standing beside Chu Mu Chen, Ling Qingyi's mouth twitched. Your Highness, don't you think so? Fortunately, I'm not wearing white today.

Chu Mu Han followed Ling Qingyi's gaze and looked over, and asked with a puzzled expression, Why?

The sky is dark, black and white, it looks like the Black and White Impermanence …

CHAPTER 6 - TAUNTING

To compare Xi Chen's second most respected couple to a male and female couple...

Even though Chu Mu Han was experienced and knowledgeable, he still felt that his new 'wangfei' idea was bold and strange. Who knew what was in his head.

He gave a deep look at Ling Qingyi, causing her to feel uncomfortable, before he spoke indifferently.

What an interesting idea.

Ling Qingyi played the role of an imperial concubine and humbly said: It's all because of Imperial Father and Mother that you were able to win over the king … For my husband to smile is my honor.

Without knowing the word 'husband', Chu Mu Han's eyes darkened as he walked towards the palace with his hands clasped behind his back.

Husband … He smirked at himself.

Ever since he had broken that secret, he had never believed in the love between a man and a woman. Being close to each other meant that they were husband and wife, sharing the same bed and the same bed.

If that didn't happen...

Chu Mou Han closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, it was clear and bright again.

Follow me.

Ling Qingyi was baffled. She did not know where she stepped on this prince's lightning bolt again. She curled her lips and lifted her skirt to follow him.

After confirming that Ling Qingyi wasn't sent by the crown prince, Chu Mu Han felt slightly more at ease and reminded her, The empress doesn't like me. If she says something you don't like to hear —

Ling Qingyi quickly answered.

I'll just pretend I didn't hear it. I won't take it to heart!

After she finished speaking, she looked at Chu Mu Han with a face full of praises. Her eyes were sparkling as though she was saying, Look at how right I am, hurry up and praise me!

Chu Mu Han remained calm and collected as he twitched his mouth.

He didn't know why, but he still didn't want Ling Qingyi's decision, so he spoke with a stern tone.

The empress is an elder. No matter what she says, you have to listen carefully. Don't disobey her.

Ling Qingyi: ... Oh, okay."

The empress of the Phoenixcloud Palace was seated on a phoenix couch. She was dressed gracefully, with a palace maid massaging her shoulders, a palace maid thumping her legs, and a eunuch fanning her.

A standard style of exploiting the class.

Ling Qingyi was extremely envious. She did not know how many times she had sighed emotionally in her heart. Learning to reincarnate was a very important thing.

Pitiful like her, it was one thing for her to have no one to serve her, but she still had to serve that old master of hers.

Competing with a person would anger a person to death!

Greetings, esteemed empress.

Ling Qingyi and Chu Mu Han bowed together.

However, she remained in a half-squat for about a quarter of an hour, yet she still did not hear the empress's request for her to stand up.

She stealthily raised her eyes to look at the empress, only to discover that she was completely engrossed in staring at the teacups in her hands. From the start to the end, it was as if she hadn't seen the two of them.

A rustling sound could be heard from his sleeves. Even though the Queen didn't say anything, Chu Mu Han actually stood up on his own.

Brave warrior! Ling Qingyi gave him a thumbs up in her heart.

Last night, she pulled on Bi'er's hand and viciously supplemented the etiquette of the palace. Chu Mu Han's actions were definitely disrespectful.

Ling Qingyi was somewhat gloating. It was great to see such a lively place.

As expected, the empress's face darkened.

Ling Qingyi silently shouted in her heart: Selling melon seeds and peanuts in the front row! How would the empress punish an insolent bastard like this? Let's see —

Third Princess! The empress made a move. Do you know your crimes?

Ling Qingyi blankly raised her head.

Huh?

Empress, did you really find the right person? It is clearly my cheap husband who is disrespectful to you, okay?

Still playing dumb? The empress was even angrier as she slammed the table. You only came to pay your respects now after the first day of marriage, are you looking down on me?

Ling Qingyi was also angry.

She wasn't the only one who was late. Not only was Chu Mu Han late, he was also disrespectful to the empress. He was the one who went overboard, why did he only pick on a soft persimmon like her?

Ling Qingyi pondered for a moment and came up with an idea.

Coincidentally, her legs had also become numb. Ling Qingyi stood up at the same time and cupped her hands in greeting.

Mother has misunderstood me.

The empress frowned, her eyes burning with rage.

Who allowed you to get up?

Ling Qingyi innocently blinked her eyes as she confidently said.

When this son was in his homeland, I heard that the Empress of Western Chen is the most benevolent and compassionate subordinate of this son. Just now, this son's legs had gone numb from squatting. The Queen Mother's benevolence and benevolence was definitely something he could not bear to do. I didn't want to make my mother sad, so I decided on my own."

He was openly demeaning, and he was a moral kidnapper.

If she did not let Ling Qingyi get up, wouldn't that mean that she wasn't a kind empress?

A mouthful of blood dripped down Empress Wang's throat.

Ling Qingyi continued unhurriedly: As for the matter of being late, it's all for the good of mother. The Queen Mother, as the Lord of the Six Palaces, was in charge of palace affairs. Your son is my daughter-in-law. I wanted to let my mother have a good night's sleep, so I intentionally postponed entering the palace.

Empress Wang had been acting arrogantly in the palace for many years, but this was the first time she met such a person.

Normally, when other people's little girl was scolded by the Queen, she would kneel down and beg for forgiveness, but how could she do that to someone like Ling Qingyi? She shamelessly lied and spoke nonsense, acting like I am doing this for your own good, you don't understand me, you are just making trouble for nothing.

Older women abhor being called old, but this little girl still said that she had white hair?

Even though she knew it was fake, the empress was still fooled. She couldn't wait to look in the mirror to see if she had white hair.

Even Chu Mu Han revealed an imperceptible smile.

Although the Queen was angry, she did not dare to do anything to Ling Qingyi.

At least on the surface, Ling Qingyi was the princess of Southern Kingdom, An Yuetang. Behind her stood another country.

The empress said stiffly, A gift.

After battling with wits and courage for so long, he was only able to get himself a stool.

Ling Qingyi looked at Chu Mu Han in grief, this was a person that got what he deserved!

As soon as they sat down, a small palace maid came forward and poured tea for the two of them.

Ling Qingyi's nose was sharp, and instantly she could smell it. This was the top quality pre-rain Longjing. Her eyes immediately lit up, and she was eager to give it a try.

However, after a moment of happiness, the hand of the young palace maid who poured the tea shook, and the scalding tea splashed onto Ling Qingyi's legs.

Hiss.

It was so hot that Ling Qingyi's tears almost came out.

The empress did not expect such a thing to happen and asked sternly, How did you do it? You don't even know how to pour tea? "

The small palace maid's face was deathly pale, her legs went weak as she knelt on the ground, and kowtowed with a bang.

Esteemed Empress, have mercy! Third wangfei, have mercy! This servant really didn't do it on purpose …

Ling Qingyi squinted her eyes. Looking at the empress's reaction, this should really be an accident. Besides, there was no need for the empress to use such despicable methods against her.

Disregarding the relationship between her and the Queen, Ling Qingyi, who was bleeding from her head, felt a trace of tender affection for the young palace maid.

At this time, a young eunuch suddenly ran in from outside the door and loudly sang.

Your majesty, your majesty, driving, and arriving.

The young palace maid looked like she had been sentenced to death, her face ashen. Even the empress's expression had turned extremely ugly.

CHAPTER 7 - KINGFISHER

A stalwart man dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe walked in, escorted by a group of servants. He had a face similar to Chu Mu Han.

This was the child of the Xi Chen Country, Chu Yu.

All of them kneeled down and greeted Chu Yu.

Greetings, your Imperial Majesty.

Chu Yu slightly frowned, walked to the seat of honor, and sat down with a grand flourish, displaying her might without getting angry.

Rise.

Ling Qingyi carefully observed.

This was not a very intimate relationship with the most respected couple in the Western Chen Country. The Queen no longer had that domineering attitude from before. Instead, she was shy and fearful towards Chu Yu.

She didn't dare to sit next to Chu Yu, but was separated by a person's distance.

Ling Qingyi glanced at Chu Yu and then looked at Chu Mu Han. She had to admit that this father and son pair shared the same temperament.

Ever since Chu Yu had appeared, the aura around Chu Mu Han had turned cold, as though he was standing next to her like a block of ice.

Ling Qingyi could not help but be puzzled. Indeed, the Tian Family did not have any kinship. This husband, wife, father, and children all had heads.

The empress's palace is really lively.

Chu Yu indifferently said, causing Empress Wang to break out in a cold sweat.

Your Majesty …

Chu Yu ignored her and looked straight at Ling Qingyi.

Is it Princess An Xiyue of the Southern Kingdom?

On Ling Qingyi's clothes, there was a large amount of dark stains. She was in a very sorry state.

She did not care about anything else and gave a formal bow.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Chu Yu smiled, a bit of sincerity in his smile.

It's time to change his name to 'Father'.

Ling Qingyi replied as if she understood: Father.

Chu Yulong was delighted. He waved his hand.

The third princess will be rewarded with a jade ruyi for a pair of jewels.

Ling Qingyi was immediately overjoyed. Her impression of the Emperor soared, and the dissatisfaction she felt towards him because she had adopted him as her father disappeared like the wind.

As long as Chu Yu could reward her with a good treasure, she could hug Chu Yu's leg and call it Imperial Father for the entire day.

Ling Qingyi could feel someone kicking her foot under the table. When she lifted her head, Chu Mu Han looked at her with an unfriendly gaze, using his gaze to warn her not to get carried away.

After rewarding Ling Qingyi, Chu Yu's smile faded.

Ol 'Three, what happened to your clothes?

The Queen spoke up first. Your Majesty, she …

Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Chu Yu.

I'm asking the old three families. I didn't ask you, empress.

The Queen was scared off by his aura and she did not dare to continue speaking. She looked at Ling Qingyi with a threatening gaze.

If you dare to speak carelessly, I'll twist your tongue!

Ling Qingyi did not put the empress's threat in her eyes at all. She could have used this opportunity to properly sue the empress, but when she thought about that little palace maid who had her head smashed into the ground …

Ling Qingyi softly replied: Reporting to royal father, just now, this son was careless. I accidentally overturned the teacup and spilled all over myself.

Although the Queen did not expect Ling Qingyi to help her, she still heaved a sigh of relief.

Oh? Chu Yu didn't seem to be satisfied with Ling Qingyi's reply. His hawk-like eyes swept over Chu Muhan, Is that right, Third Bro?

Chu Mu coldly replied, What wangfei said is the truth.

Chu Yu acted as if he was infuriated by these words, a fake smile on his face.

Your relationship with each other is pretty good.

Chu Mu Han wasn't affected by his emotions.

Since this child has already married into an imperial concubine, I will definitely treat her well. I will not let down the expectations of my royal father and mother.

Although Ling Qingyi didn't know what had happened, her intuition told her that there was a hidden meaning within Chu Mushan's words.

Seeing that the father and son were about to argue, Empress Wang came out to smooth things over.

Wearing wet clothes doesn't feel good. Little Peach, take Third Princess to the inner room to change.

Little Peach was the little palace maid who had overturned the tea on Ling Qingyi's body.

She originally thought that she was dead for sure, but she did not expect that she would be able to retrieve her life. She hurriedly brought Ling Qingyi into the inner hall.

Ling Qingyi handed her a handkerchief.

Wipe your face.

Xiaotao's eyes reddened as she received the handkerchief.

Third Princess, you're such a good person.

This was the first time that Ling Qingyi had been praised in such a way, and she felt it was very fresh.

She was a famous thief in the martial arts world. Whoever mentioned her would grit their teeth in anger. How could anyone still call her a good person?

Ling Qingyi coughed twice to hide the happiness in her heart.

Don't worry, this wangfei will go find mother in a while and ask you to come over. Follow me out of the palace.

As a good person, Ling Qingyi deeply understood this logic.

While Little Peach was rummaging through the inner hall for clothes as if she was familiar with the place, Ling Qingyi was sizing up the decorations inside the hall.

The two bottles of enamel colored baby drama set up on top of the Eight Treasures Pavilion were created by everyone from the previous dynasty and could be considered rare treasures.

You are about the same size as the princess consort. You can wear the princess consort's clothes first. Xiaotao said apologetically, It's just that this was worn by the princess consort. I've wronged the third princess.

Ling Qingyi's heart was completely focused on the treasures in the hall, and did not feel anything, so she casually waved her hand.

It's fine.

The princess' old clothes were also better than the new clothes she usually wore!

Recalling the crown prince and his wife's' Black and White Impermanence 'attire, she specifically reminded Little Peach, Oh right, don't use white.

Peach turned tears into smiles.

You are a new bride. How can you wear white?

As he spoke, he took out a suit of red clothes.

Ling Qingyi received it. There were indeed traces of wear on the clothes and the material was not very new. Fortunately, she did not care about these.

This servant will help you change.

No need! Ling Qingyi put on an act and said, This wangfei is not used to others being present when changing clothes. All of you can leave.

But … Little Peach hesitated.

There are no buts, go down!

She hardened her heart, and the servants did not dare to disobey her. They all obeyed her command and left, closing the door behind them.

Ling Qingyi rubbed her hands together and giggled.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Ling Qingyi finished changing, opened the window, and went out.

On the open ground outside the hall, a small bird was strolling leisurely. It had jade blue feathers and a scarlet beak.

Ling Qingyi tiptoed over. She whistled a few times in a strange way, and the kingfisher stumbled towards her as if it was possessed.

The Jade Bird sent a message. This was the only way for Ling Qingyi to communicate with her senior brother.

Ling Qingyi tied the letter with the secret character on it to the legs of the kingfisher and watched it flap its wings into the sky.

Endure it! Senior Brother will be able to save her soon!

After doing all this, just as Ling Qingyi was about to turn back without anyone noticing, a young eunuch walked out from around the corner with a basin of water.

The moment he saw Ling Qingyi, he did not know what kind of shock he felt, but his eyes
