Hearing that Yu Linglong wanted to go back, the Southern Sudan's heart warmed. She held her hand and said, ”Linglong, don't go. The sun and the moon can tell you what I think of you. Can you stay and be my imperial concubine?”

Yu Linglong got rid of the Southern Sudan's hand, and replied with a cold look on her face: ”Third Prince, take it seriously. ”I am from Xuanyuan, so it is inconvenient for me to stay here if I don't go back. Tomorrow, I will go back. Please don't go too far.” With that, she stood up and left the pavilion.

The Southern Sudan watched as Yu Linglong left. Her fist gradually curled up and heavily fell on the table.

Inside King Ning's Mansion.

Ning Xian placed Qiao Liangjin in the garden, then had the butler find a few maids, while he himself hurriedly left the garden.

Yu Sheng looked around in the garden, praising, ”This Prince Ning is giving our master the red coral trees so generously. I thought he was rich. These decorations are pretty much the same as our Prime Minister's residence.”

Red Dust was sitting in the hallway as he calmly cultivated. When he heard Yu Sheng's words, he smirked and said, ”Some people look very safe for themselves. In fact, if they bite you back one day, you'll lose your life.”

Yuesheng gave a baffled glance at Hong Chen. Rubbing her nose, she said, ”Hong Chen, what are you really? Why couldn't I see the scar I left on your neck last time? ”

Hong Chen's hand caressed her neck, smiling faintly: ”Or is your fox fire not strong enough?”

”You are not human.” Yu Sheng said sharply.

”Sounds like you're cursing.” Red Dust didn't want to answer directly.

”Come, let us exchange blows. I must know what you are.” With a ”teng” sound, a fox fire was ignited in Yu Sheng's palm.

Hong Chen gave a faint smile as he leaned against the vermilion pillar, supporting his cheek with one hand as he leisurely gazed at the not too distant open peony.

Just as Yuesheng was about to strike out at Red Dust, the door opened with a creak. Purple Smoke said in a reprimanding tone, ”You two want to fight? Stay far away from her. Don't disturb her rest.”

Yu Sheng's eyes lit up as he asked in pleasant surprise, ”Is she awake?”

Zi Yan shook her head and looked back into the room. She said softly, ”Miss is actually very tired. Such a big family has to be worried about. The journey is extremely tiring. It's also good. We can take advantage of this illness to have a good rest.”

Yu Sheng tiptoed and looked through the door. The little leopard eagerly walked towards him, its little head rubbing against his legs.

Zi Yan pointed at the little leopard and said, ”Yuesheng, this should be little miss's favorite pet now. Take good care of it.”

With a bitter face, Yuesheng shook his head and said, ”No, no. I don't have it with me.”

”How old are you? How old are you? Do you think your mistress will choose between you and this little leopard? Who do you think she will choose?”

Of course, he knew that he did not have any status at all with Qiao Liangjin. If he really allowed Qiao Liangjin to choose between him and the little leopard, then Qiao Liangjin would not hesitate to choose the little leopard.

Helpless, he could only hug the small leopard and walk over to the servant girl who was chuckling while covering her mouth. With an innocent expression, he asked, ”Little sister, may I ask where is the kitchen?”

The servant girl hurriedly pointed in a direction, and Yu Sheng led the leopard to look for food.

Zi Yan walked to the opposite side of the world of mortals and sat down facing the world of mortals. She asked gently, ”You hate the little miss, right?”

Red Dust scoffed, ”Why do I like her? What's so good about her that I have to like her? ”

Zi Yan smiled faintly. ”No matter what, you've done your best. Thank you.”

Hong Chen immediately stood up and waved her sleeves, saying, ”Who cares about your thanks? I'm going to rest.” After saying that, he hurriedly left the mirror garden.

Zi Yan couldn't help but laugh. Hong Chen's personality was truly unpredictable. No wonder Yu Cheng didn't think that he was human.

Ever since Ning Ying had settled down at Qiao Liangjin's residence, she had disappeared without a trace. Zi Yan could only patiently wait for him to return. She sent Ah Bai to ask the butler a few times, but the answer was that the prince said he would be back very soon.

It wasn't until late at night that Zi Yan turned off the lights and rested after confirming that Ning Ying wouldn't be coming.

When dawn arrived, there was an urgent knock on the door. The moment Zi Yan opened her eyes, she jumped up from the bed, put on her clothes as fast as she could, and went to open the door.

Outside the door, Ning Xi's body was stained with blood. Her eyes were filled with anxiety as she said, ”Hurry up and go cook some yellow wine. Warm it up will be enough.”

Zi Yan left the room.

After Ning Xi entered the room, she placed the wide-mouthed bottle on the table. She took out a pearl-sized silver pill and placed it in her teacup to clean it.

When Zi Yan returned with the malt yellow wine, Ning Ying put the silver pellet into Qiao Liangjin's mouth, then pinched Qiao Liangjin's chin and poured the malt yellow wine into her mouth.

Zi Yan curiously asked, ”What is this?”

”Inner core.” Ning Ying replied simply.
