Although we are very strong, we just keep trying to trick people.

From the scholar's mouth, Ling Xuewei also understood the reason for the matter.

There are three dynasties on the Cangyuan Continent, namely the Dayan Dynasty, the Beimo Dynasty, and the Shengyun Dynasty.

Originally, the strength of the three dynasties was not much different, and they had been living in peace and harmony for hundreds of years.

However, successive emperors of the Shengyun Dynasty worked hard to govern, and after a hundred years of development, their strength has become faintly stronger than the other two dynasties.

Looking back at the Great Yan Dynasty, several generations of emperors were mediocre and inactive, but fortunately they were not mediocre. The Great Yan Dynasty still maintained the same status as it had a hundred years ago.

The Northern Desert Dynasty was severely weakened due to civil strife among its vassals, and became the last among the three major dynasties.

Now the Shengyun Dynasty is the leader, and its ambitions are gradually exposed. In recent years, the Shengyun Dynasty has been stationing troops on the border between the two dynasties, and there has been constant friction with the Beimo Dynasty.

The emperor of the Northern Desert was afraid that the Shengyun Dynasty would provoke a war, so he sent the third prince to discuss an alliance with Dayan on the pretext of celebrating the birthday of the queen of the Yan Dynasty.

Originally this was nothing, but the third prince had a cold personality and usually looked down upon women.

But when I saw Liu Ning at the city gate that day, I felt that this girl was different. I was curious and asked the scholar to observe Liu Ning's daily life.

That's what happened. Who would have thought that when he met Ling Xuewei, the god of death, the scholar would scold the third prince for being sick and scold Ling Xuewei for being crazy at the same time, but he still had a flattering smile on his face.

After listening to what the scholar said, Ling Xuewei fell into deep thought. She didn't believe that the third prince of the Northern Desert would have nothing to do and let someone come to monitor Liu Ning. He must have some plot against Liu Ning.

Seeing that Ling Xuewei's expression was wrong, the scholar stood up and knelt on the ground, crying and saying: "Auntie, I have said everything that should be said and should not be said. If you don't believe me, there is nothing I can do!

But if you still want to kill the little one, can you do it more neatly?"

Ling Xuewei ignored the scholar and took out a purse from her arms, poured out a dark pill and threw it in front of the scholar.

The scholar looked at the pills in front of him and thought Ling Xuewei wanted to poison him. His face turned pale at first, but then he thought that dying would be better than living and being tortured, so he picked up the pills tremblingly.

The scholar looked back on his life and felt full of regrets.

He had suffered a lot in practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he was simply scared. But if he didn't practice at that time, someone would force him to practice.

Finally, there was a turmoil in the Northern Desert, and those who could fight were almost killed. He naturally became a master, and then in order to survive, he became a confidant beside the third prince.

On weekdays, the third prince provided him with food and drinks. After enjoying the good life, he felt that there were not too many people in the days when he practiced martial arts, and he vowed never to let himself suffer again.

But who would have known that the first time he received an order from the third prince, he was to spy on a young girl's small work, but he was interrupted by others.

Bitter! Just when the scholar was feeling his unfair fate, the sound of a sharp blade entering his body came from his arm, pulling him back to the present world.

It turned out that Ling Xuewei was watching the scholar kneeling down with a melancholy look on his face, and she felt angry and hit him with a flying knife.

The scholar grinned and held the pill, trembling as he was about to bring it to his mouth.

Even though he thought he had seen away life and death, he was still scared to death at this moment.

"This poison doesn't hurt, doesn't it?"

Suddenly, the scholar stopped taking the pill to his mouth. He looked at Ling Xuewei and asked with suspicion.

At this moment, Ling Xuewei could no longer maintain her cold image. She kicked the scholar's hand holding the medicine and kicked the pill into the scholar's mouth.

Before the scholar could react, he stretched his neck and swallowed the pill into his belly, and then received a fierce kick from Ling Xuewei.

"I'll make you hurt, I'll make you hurt, I'll make you take some medicine, you'll be worse than anyone else, so you might as well die."

Ling Xuewei kicked the scholar and cursed. She felt like she was going to explode with anger just now.

It wasn't until the scholar's wails became weak that Ling Xuewei stopped kicking the scholar and stood aside with a relieved look on her face.

Looking at the scholar lying on the ground pretending to be dead, Ling Xuewei said coldly: "The medicine you just took is called Fu Po Powder. If there is no antidote, you will die of ulcers all over your body in five days.

Think about it, you were still alive at that time, but your skin fell off piece by piece, not even a whole body was left. "

After Ling Xuewei finished speaking, she noticed that the scholar's body shook a little, but he still lay on the ground pretending to be dead.

A sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she continued: "Of course, if you can do something for me, I will give you the antidote to this rotten pork powder and give you a sum of money... ..”

Before the rest of the words were finished, the scholar stood up from the ground in a hurry, endured the pain on his body and knelt on the ground, cupped his fists and said: "But according to the girl's instructions, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."

That's called firmness and determination.

The corner of Ling Xuewei's mouth twitched, she had never seen such a fickle person before.

"You continue to monitor Liu Ning, but report any news to me first, and then only with my permission can I tell your prince the news.

And you must inform me of all your prince’s instructions to you, including the specific purpose of your prince’s visit to Dayan. "

Ling Xuewei didn't think that the Northern Desert Prince came to Yujing City to form an alliance with Dayan. She had her own news network, but she heard that the Northern Desert Emperor personally went to the Shengyun Empire not long ago.

It's just that these are all said by knights who traveled to Jade City. She doesn't know whether they are true or false, but it is always good to be on guard.

The scholar was confused after hearing this. He could understand the first words, but he couldn't understand the second words.

Does their prince have any other purpose for coming to Dayan? Isn't it just an alliance? Otherwise, how could the capable men around his dignified third prince not know?

Ling Xuewei noticed the confusion on the scholar's face, and understood that the scholar was a marginal figure in front of the Northern Desert Prince, and had no intention of asking further questions.

Anyway, the scholar is not important to her. What she believes in most is her strength. What she gives to the scholar is not rotten pork powder, but a pill to restore vitality.

Of course, that one was a failure. In this world, she used ordinary medicinal materials for alchemy, the alchemy furnace was pottery, and the flame had to be ignited with wood, so she never produced a finished elixir.

After sending away the scholar, Ling Xuewei returned to Prince Wu'an's Mansion.

If she remembered correctly, the queen's birthday would be the day after tomorrow, and all the officials would celebrate the queen's birthday on that day. If the third prince had any conspiracy, it should be carried out on that day.

She had to communicate with the people in Wu'an Palace to make preparations in advance to avoid any accidents.

In the past, Ling Xuewei would not have meddle in these nosy matters. As long as her blood relatives in this life were not in trouble, others could toss as much as they liked.

But now Liu Ning is also in Yujing City, and she is worried that if her actions are too big, ordinary people will be affected.

Just when Ling Xuewei returned to Prince Wu'an's Mansion, the imperial court also issued an imperial edict to the officials to celebrate the Queen's birthday the next day, requiring all civil and military officials to bring their families there.

In the Liu family's mansion, Liu Yan also received the imperial edict from the court. Liu Ran also quit the rented house and brought Liu Ning and Liu Hao to stay here.

Liu Yan planned to take Liu Ning's children to the palace banquet, so that Liu Ning could relax and get out of the shadow of Ling Xuewei's harm as soon as possible.

Anyway, Ling Xuewei has a cold temperament. In previous years, except for the banquet at Prince Wu'an Palace, she would not attend any other palace banquets, and she was not worried about running into her.
