Luo Lingxiao laughed softly, ”I can't compare to a lady.”

Luo Lingxiao turned his head towards the two soldiers escorting Shen Qiubai, ”You two may leave first. This concubine has a few words to say to her.”

The soldiers on the mountain all knew that this fairy-like wangfei had a gentle temperament and would always be a gentle flower of explanation. They couldn't help but worry that this captive woman would do something dangerous to the delicate wangfei, so they hesitated and revealed awkward expressions.

”This girl …”

Luo Lingxiao smiled gently, ”Rest assured, you don't have to go too far. ”If anything happens, I'll shout at you guys.”

She looked at the pale Shen Qiubai and added, ”Besides, this Miss Shen can be considered to have met me a few times. I believe she won't do anything out of line. ”

The soldier seemed to be convinced and nodded before heading down to patrol with his weapon in hand.

Shen Qiubai looked at the soldiers who were lingering nearby and sneering at him from time to time. ”Princess, you're quite capable.”

His acting skills were so weak.

Others might not know, but Shen Qiu Bai did. In the circle of the capital's top geniuses, this Luo Lingxiao was skilled at pretending. He was merely a concubine who had not yet been made into a concubine yet, and had managed to win the title of the capital's number one beauty due to his daily pretence of being soft and gentle.

Luo Lingxiao's eyes narrowed, ”Huh?”

Seeing how he used such a method to drive away the mirror, Shen Qiubai frowned as he took precautions against Luo Lingxiao. She stared at Luo Lingxiao vigilantly, as if she was thinking of something.

A moment later, Shen Qiubai asked bewitchingly, ”Does the wangfei not want to know who's inside?”

Luo Lingxiao's expression turned ugly to the point that it could be seen with the naked eye.

Without waiting for Luo Lingxiao's reply, Shen Qiu Bai slightly relaxed his guard. She then turned to Luo Lingxiao with a smile, and with a trace of pity on her face, she said, ”Your Highness, I'm afraid you don't know if this person is still alive. ”I'm afraid the location of the wangfei is in danger …”

How could Luo Lingxiao not know that Shen Qiubai wanted to borrow a knife to kill again, but his thoughts had already shifted to him, and things would not end so easily.

”Oh? ”What do you mean?” Luo Lingxiao asked.

He really was tricked.

Shen Qiubai's face was solemn as he glanced at Luo Lingxiao's bulging stomach, ”This Miss An is a treasure of the crown prince. To speak of it, killing her could be said as removing a huge threat from the princess' heart.”

Luo Lingxiao sneered, ”What, according to what you've said, this wangfei still needs to thank you for killing the prince's best friend?”

”Qiu Bai didn't mean it that way. He just wanted to make the stakes clear to the wangfei. This girl was far from being as calm and tranquil as she was when she saw the rumors surrounding her. It was obvious that the wangfei had also heard some rumors regarding her. If she is still alive, then the sixteen prefectures of the Mountain Sun will have become a tool for revenge. ”

Shen Qiubai's hands were tied with hemp rope, but it did not diminish her bearing. Shen Qiubai, who had calmed down, had regained his usual indifferent look.

”So?” Luo Lingxiao raised his eyebrows and looked at her calmly.

Shen Qiubai could not figure out what she meant, so he paused to keep her silence.

Luo Lingxiao looked at Shen Qiubai with his amber eyes for a moment: ”A living person can never fight a dead person.”

”If I don't try, how come I don't know?” The corner of Shen Qiu Bai's mouth curled up into a smile, and his eyes became increasingly sinister.
