Chapter 878 The Real Princess or Not

Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows and looked at the back mountain.

Hiding in the fog, it seemed to be boundless and forbidding.

The Pool of Various Venomous Insects was very important to the Xin Family.

Now that there was someone who could control the Icy Jade Venomous Cicada, how could the Xin Family not be anxious?

If she was one of the Xin Family, she would definitely be curious about who Ningqiu was.

Everything else had been arranged by Emperor and Madam. As long as the Xin Family started to investigate, they would only get the things that had been carefully arranged.

And the result of their investigation was the key to deciding whether or not Ningqiu would be able to become the chosen witch successfully.

People always believed in what they saw with their own eyes and heard with their own ears, didn’t they?

“I see. Don’t worry, sister. I’ll arrange it right away.”

Xiaoyu’s eyes lit up. Obviously, he understood what Lin Mengya meant.

He hurried out and went to arrange the follow-up things.

“Ningqiu, you should go back, too. Don’t go out these days. If there’s anything, just send someone to me.”

With a gentle smile on her face, Lin Mengya could tell that Ningqiu was nervous and uneasy.

“Miss Helan, I’m afraid... I’m afraid I can’t do it well.”

She looked at Lin Mengya timidly. In fact, when she was showing the Icy Jade Venomous Cicada outside, she was not as calm as she showed.

One had to know that those people were all quite famous throughout the entire Lieyun Empire.

To her, fooling them was extremely difficult.

But with the help of everyone, she had taken the first step which was the hardest one for her.

Therefore, in addition to her nervousness, for some unknown reason, she felt excited somehow.

“No, you’ve done a good job today.”

She touched the girl’s shoulder. Originally, Ningqiu should have pretended to be a mysterious master in the yard.

After all, they were not the real ones so they might make mistakes by saying too much.

It was better to pretend to be mysterious so that people could not find out the truth.

Unexpectedly, the secret weapon which was given by Madam would attract the Icy Jade Venomous Cicada.

In this way, the effect was even more unexpected.

“Really?”

Lin Mengya was quite familiar with the longing in Ningqiu’s eyes.

When she first came to this world, she probably needed the approval of others just like Ningqiu did.

She gently nodded which easily lit up the light in Ningqiu’s eyes.

Watching Ningqiu walk away with great joy, Lin Mengya, who sat in the corridor under the eaves, looked at the powder she had just cleaned and smiled meaningfully.

Now, the three most powerful people in Lieyun Empire had all joined Xiaoyu’s team.

Even if Wanyan Jing had Candle Dragon Cult in the back, he could do nothing with this. The entire Lieyun Empire would belong to Xiaoyu sooner or later.

“Girl, it’s too early to be happy.”

Looking at the proud girl in front of him adoringly, Qinghu couldn’t help but damp down her enthusiasm.

Lin Mengya raised her head, but she had already put away the pride on her face.

“It seems that you’ve also found out.”

Lin Mengya smiled and shook her feet gently.

Qinghu had always been sensitive. Sometimes, Lin Mengya even felt that if Qinghu wasn’t a killer trained by Candle Dragon Cult, he would definitely become an official of the government. And he would be a very good minister of this generation.

But now, he was not bad as a counselor by her side.

“You must know that although Xiaoyu has gained their support, his foundation is still unstable. And for all the citizens, they prefer Wanyan Jing more than Xiaoyu. Isn’t it inappropriate for you to let him enter the pool as soon as possible?”

Qinghu was not worried about Xiaoyu, but he was very clear that his girl wouldn’t be at ease for a single day until Xiaoyu held the sovereign of Lieyun in his hands.

It was better to solve this problem as soon as possible so that Lin Mengya would not be worried.

“There’s no problem about it. Although Xiaoyu enters the Pool of Various Venomous Insects, there is still someone outside? I heard that Eldest Prince returned to the palace. The corruption this time almost shook his foundation. If Xiaoyu is anxious to build on that success, it may be a little too deliberate?”

Lin Mengya narrowed her eyes and looked at the red sun in the sky.

Public opinions were not something that could be shifted simply.

As the Eldest Prince, Wanyan Jing had made great achievements in Lieyun all these years.

It was impossible to completely remove him from the hearts of Lieyun people.

However, a sage might not be a qualified sovereign. According to what the Eldest Prince had done over these years, the more superior he was, the more the good opinions of citizens he would forfeit.

It would be easy for people to choose. Which one did they prefer? A sovereign who was worldly or a sage who was overly cool.

“Hey, is there anything you can’t get after being targeted by you?”

Qinghu shook his head with a wry smile. To be honest, Lin Mengya’s growth over the past few days had made him feel a sense of fright.

He still remembered that, with his experience and wisdom, he was still able to defeat her when they first met.

But now, her tactics and thinking were far superior to his.

Lin Mengya shook her head slightly. Her eyes were so deep that no one could see through them.

“It’s not enough. What I want is very simple, but I still can’t get it now.”

What she wanted was nothing more than the peace and good fortune of her life.

But as long as the relic of the Guwei State and paradise city existed, her life would be firmly locked, and she could never get rid of it.

“I will always stay with you! No matter what happens.”

Qinghu gently lifted the hair on her forehead with his big hands. Looking at her black watery eyes, he seemed to be attracted by her unconsciously.

Looking at her smile, he already felt that the whole world of him was full and intact.

If one day she could fulfill her wish, he would be willing to exchange it with his life birth after birth.

“Thank you. I’ll go and see how Baisu did.”

Lin Mengya got up and left with a smile, which was as bright as the morning glow.

Looking at her back in a daze, Qinghu suddenly felt that his body, which he used to hate so much that he even could not sleep at night, was no longer a symbol of a humble and dirty past.

If he hadn’t been like this, how could he have gained her trust with all her heart?

Perhaps all the sufferings he had gone through before were the preparations to stay by her side.

Qinghu smiled lightly, and there was not only hatred on his pale face.

He followed her with gentle steps. It was so nice to stay by her side.

Lin Mengya, who did not know what Qinghu was thinking at all, was thinking about what would happen after returning to Dajin.

In fact, Baisu did quite a good preparation. Qinghu and the others had prepared the horses and carriages in advance.

And they also had already prepared enough food and drinks on the way.

The only problem was how to find a proper reason to slip away from here.

However, Lin Mengya had already gotten one.

As long as Xiaoyu and Ningqiu entered the pool, she would immediately take out the token which was given by Madam and announce that she had to go back to the palace to report on the task.

Indeed, they had taken advantage of Madam’s trust. However, as long as they were careful, no one would notice that they were gone secretly at least before Xiaoyu came out.

She would try her best to go back to Lieyun before Xiaoyu came out. At that time, she would look for the whereabouts of the key mentioned by her uncle.

She had to open the paradise city before the Candle Dragon Cult.

Otherwise, Candle Dragon Cult might cause another catastrophe.

She did not want to see that weird and mysterious bloody ceremony again.

According to her speculation, things went smoothly.

Xin Mu was very cunning, and he sent different people to spy on Ningqiu and inquire about all the information about her.

However, the Emperor and Wanyan Lie were very thoughtful people. If they worked together to set the trap, no matter how hard Xin Mu tried, he might not be able to solve it.

According to the intelligence obtained by the Xin Family, Madame Jingrou had originally given birth to twins, a baby boy and a baby girl.

But for some reason, her son was sent to somewhere else.

As for Ningqiu, she was handed over to a farmer.

As time went by, maybe it was because Madame Jingrou missed her daughter too much, or maybe it was a coincidence.

When Ningqiu returned to the palace in the name of a maid, she was actually raised as a princess.

As for this ‘princess’, who had been raised in a normal family, she had revealed some of her talents, which she had inherited from her mother’s family, since she was young.

As for what kind of talent this was, it was probably a secret that the Xin Family had set their eyes on.

Although it sounded like a fantasy, only Lin Mengya knew that it was hard to tell whether it was true or false.

What’s more, Ningqiu’s identity as a ‘princess’ was also a kind of encouragement and reward for her.

They all knew that Ningqiu’s identity as a ‘princess’ would be exposed to the world as soon as the task was completed.

At that time, she would become a real princess, as well as the elder sister of Xiaoyu.

Therefore, Ningqiu would work harder than anyone else. It was much more useful to be a favored princess than a cold chosen witch.

Lin Mengya knew it exactly, and Ningqiu did it even better.

“Miss, Ningqiu has sent a message for you. Xin Mu’s wife wants to invite her to a banquet. You have told her not to go out for the next few days. What do you think of it? And how to respond to it?”

In the past two days, Ningqiu had been following her instructions. She did not go out easily, nor did she meet anyone easily.

As for Lin Mengya, she also received a lot of news one after another.

The most important thing was that it was time to feed the royal venomous insect the day after tomorrow.

However, because of the riot a few days ago, it became more and more difficult to control the pool.

What was more, because of the awakening of the Icy Jade Venomous Cicada, those poisonous insects and venomous insects no longer obeyed the orders of the elders of the Xin Family.

The only person who could suppress those venomous insects was Xin Li, but he couldn’t make it back for a while.

If she didn’t feed the royal venomous insect in time, the entire Lieyun would be destroyed.

It was a bad thing for the Xin Family, but it was a good one for her and Xiaoyu.

Moreover, it was a great thing.
