Guo Lingxi glared at Su Xiaoxiao fiercely. The blade was pressed against her hot skin, bringing with it a shuddering chill.

After making sure that she didn’t dare to shout, Su Xiaoxiao let go of her.

She was about to open her mouth when Su Xiaoxiao’s knife tip was instantly pressed against her throat.

“If you want me to kill you, it’s not impossible.” Su Xiaoxiao said calmly.

Her calm tone didn’t sound like she was killing anyone, but the killing intent in Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes was real.

Guo Lingxi sat on the ground with her back against the uneven rockery, panting heavily.

“It’s Wei Qing, right?” she asked in a low voice.

“No,” Su Xiaoxiao said.

“I don’t believe you.” Guo Lingxi gritted her teeth.

She wondered why this girl was so lucky. It was fine if she could do whatever she wanted in the Great Zhou, but when she came to the Western Jin, she immediately latched onto a big tree who said that she looked like his long-lost sister.

To think that she believed this lousy excuse.

If Zhuge Qing was Wei Qing, then everything made sense.

Su Xiaoxiao did not feel guilty. She bent down and stepped on the rock beside Guo Lingxi, staring straight into her eyes.

“It’s useless if you don’t believe me. He’s not Wei Qing. He’s just someone who looks a little similar to Wei Qing. Wei Qing has long died on the battlefield. Wei Ting collected his corpse for him. Didn’t you leave the city to hold the coffin on the day the corpse was transported back to the capital?”

“I was…”

Guo Lingxi did not have the guts to look at the tragic corpse in the coffin.

“You’re lying to the emperor!”

They had even deceived the rulers of two countries!

This was a capital crime!

Su Xiaoxiao said, “I’ve said it before. He’s not Wei Qing. If you insist on talking nonsense in front of the Western Jin emperor, I don’t mind sending you off!”

Guo Lingxi said coldly, “You want to kill me here? You’re crazy! This is the palace! Do you really think that no one can find out about you? I don’t mind telling you that the Western Jin emperor raised a very powerful hound with a sharp sense of smell. If I die, it can smell the murderer!”

She was not messing around. She had seen that big black dog bite two palace servants to death. It was very ferocious.

Damn it! The Western Jin Emperor still had such a thing!

Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “I’m not the one who wants to kill you. It’s the Western Jin emperor.”

Guo Lingxi’s pupils dilated.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “Why? Haven’t you figured out the key? You, Guo Lingxi, are the cousin of the Wei family. If Zhuge Qing is Wei Qing, then who are you? Zhuge Qing lay low for three years in the Western Jin and established a huge number of Black Armored Army. He is deeply valued by Yuwen Huai and the Western Jin emperor. Now, his biological cousin—you’re here. You’re the favorite concubine of the Western Jin emperor. One day, you’ll definitely give birth to a dragon heir for the Western Jin emperor. A demon concubine and a cunning minister. Will the two of you join forces to seize the Western Jin?” Guo Lingxi choked. “You..

Su Xiaoxiao continued, “The Western Jin emperor won’t hand the country over to a son of an outsider’s bloodline, but he’s his biological son after all. He can’t bear to kill his son, but do you think he will leave his son behind? Yuwen Huai doesn’t want a younger brother who has the ability to compete with him for the throne. Will he eliminate the root of the problem? Kill your son while he’s still young?”

Guo Lingxi’s face was pale.

Su Xiaoxiao’s smile was clean and clear, but her words were like a sharp knife tip, hitting Guo Lingxi’s vital points.

“Why? Do you want to say that you’ve never had designs the Western Jin Dynasty? But it doesn’t matter what you think. What others think is important. ”

As Su Xiaoxiao spoke, she smiled faintly at her. “Don’t think that you can gain the trust of the Western Jin emperor just because you sold Zhuge Qing. You and Zhuge Qing are in the same boat, understand?”

Su Xiaoxiao reached out to her.

Guo Lingxi broke out in cold sweat. She did not know if it was from anger or fear, but she did not hand over her hand.

Su Xiaoxiao took the initiative to pull her up. She put away the dagger and gently plucked the grass off her body. She glanced at the old eunuch who was walking over not far away and smiled.

“Look, you came over with Eunuch He. It’s not good for him to see you in such a daze. After all, you’re a concubine of the Western Jin. If you can’t bear to part with your family, it will disappoint His Majesty.”

Guo Lingxi was drenched in cold sweat. She glared at Su Xiaoxiao in shock and hatred. How could this woman still speak to her in such a calm tone?

Su Xiaoxiao whispered into her ear, “Or do you want me to tell Eunuch He that I’m here to teach you how to cause trouble?”

“Physician Qin, Consort Ling!”

Eunuch He noticed the two of them and walked towards them with a smile. He bowed to them.

He placed Su Xiaoxiao in front of her in his address. It could be seen how important Su Xiaoxiao was to the Western Jin Emperor.

“Eunuch He.” Su Xiaoxiao smiled and greeted him.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Guo Lingxi with a smile. Guo Lingxi composed herself and suppressed the turmoil in her heart. She said to her Eunuch He, “It’s just a farewell.”

Su Xiaoxiao tidied her sleeves. “The Western Jin isn’t far. I’ll come to see you often in the future. Why are you crying?

He looked at the two of them in surprise. “Ah… The relationship between Consort Ling and Physician Qin is not like what the rumors say.”

Su Xiaoxiao looked confused. “What did they say about me and my cousin?

Eunuch He smiled awkwardly. “Speaking of you… Sigh, there’s nothing to it.”

Someone from the Guo family had come. She knew Lingxi’s brother had probably been tricked into saying a lot.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, “We were fooling around at home. When we are out, we’re all family. Don’t you think so, Cousin?” Eunuch He looked at Guo Lingxi.

Guo Lingxi clenched her fists. Cousin-in-law is right.”

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Eunuch He, you don’t look too good.”

At the mention of this, Eunuch He sighed. “Sigh, it’s about the Jade Coral. His

Highness is also here and is arguing in the Imperial Study.”

“Father! This is what you rewarded me with. Why should I return it?”

Third Prince Yuwen Lin hugged the Jade Coral in his arms and refused to let go.

The Western Jin Emperor felt a little embarrassed, but he could not lose his dignity as a father in front of his son. “I can take it back if I want. Do I need your opinion?”

The Third Prince said seriously, “If Father gives it to me, it’s mine! Of course you have to ask for my opinion!”

Among the many surviving children of the Western Jin Emperor, other than

Yuwen Huai and Yuwen Xi, who were already in their thirties, the other princes were not even 25 years old. Their personalities were naturally not as restrained as their eldest brother and sister.

The Western Jin emperor looked at him solemnly. “Do you want the Jade Coral or your life?”

The Third Prince said without hesitation, “I want the Jade Coral!”

The Western Jin emperor waved his hand.

A group of experts from the Imperial Family rushed in.

Yuwen Lin’s hair stood on end. “No way, Father! Are you serious?”

Half an hour later, Yuwen Lin limped out of the Imperial Study.

In his life, the first time he was beaten up was actually for a basin of coral. How could he accept that?

Eunuch He waited for Yuwen Lin to walk away before entering the Imperial Study. No prince wanted his sorry appearance to be seen by the servants. Eunuch He had been the butler for so long, so he should have some judgment.

He looked at the Jade Coral on the table and asked, ‘Your Majesty, Physician

Qin came just now.”

“Was she here to ask about Jade Coral?” “She came here to see Consort Ling.”

The Western Jin Emperor said nothing else.

He asked, “Do you want to send it to Mr. Zhuge?”

The Western Jin Emperor picked up the memorial on the table. “There’s no need. The Great Zhou envoy is leaving the capital. I’ll hold a banquet tomorrow night to send them off. Zhuge Qing will also come. I’ll give it to him in person..”
