Ning Sinian has always had great ambitions. The regent, who is in a high position, can clearly see the ups and downs beneath his calm and peaceful surface.

But the King of Jinyang was a cowardly fellow, and he didn't seem to like his only son. He was more worried that Ning Si Nian would kill him in order to get rid of the title of the Crown Prince as soon as possible.

Therefore, the Regent King actually never paid too much attention to Ning Si Nian. A clown is still a clown after all, and he cannot be on the stage.

But now it seems that he still underestimated the other party.

"His hands are indeed very long. He has people in Feiyu Tower and Keluo, but I never knew that he also brought the art of witchcraft into Da'an."

Wei Qingjue frowned. The girl who was stepping on the spring water put her hand on her neck and shook it in distress.

He lowered his body slightly to make sure Yun Nian could look at him straight in the eye, and then thought carefully.

"There is an underground prison in Ning Sinian's mansion, but the last time I checked, it was full of torture instruments and there were no mechanisms. It is even less likely to be connected to here."

Although Ning Sinian was caught in the last assassination attempt, unfortunately there is still no definite evidence. At most, he can be locked up for a while to teach him a lesson.

At that time, he definitely didn't expect that the other party had created such a horrible thing outside Luochuan City.

But unlike his idea, Yun Nian thought it was very reasonable.

"Your Highness, perhaps you don't understand Ning Sinian. He is stubborn and selfish. Likewise, he is also quite cunning and can take advantage of everything around him, even people's hearts."

Yun Nian never told her parents that she didn't like Ning Si Nian that much. She just couldn't see any real love in his eyes.

He seems romantic and passionate, but that's all an illusion. Profits are the only thing that can move him.

Even though she had lost some of her memories and her emotions, Yun Nian still hated Ning Si Nian deeply.

It was as if the mere mention of the name disgusted her.

"I recognize many of those mummies. I have seen most of them before. They were all related to the Prince of Jinyang."

"What I suspect is that Ning Sinian might be planning something."

She spoke word by word, her back tingling.

And Wei Qingjue obviously realized something.

"You mean, you know them all?"

His focus was not on Ning Si Nian, but he was very concerned about the fact that she seemed to know him.

"I...the faces I can see are indeed somewhat familiar."

The girl in front of him hesitated for a moment, thought about it again, and finally nodded firmly.

But the Regent did not relax because of her affirmation. Instead, he became more serious.

"Why did he kill someone you knew?"

"I do not know either."

This was also what puzzled her, but maybe it was just a coincidence. There were so many corpses on it, maybe just a few of them had appeared in front of her before.

Yun Nian always felt that there was something she had forgotten or ignored, but she couldn't remember it for the moment, so she could only bear it.

She raised her eyes to look at Wei Qingjue. The regent's face was so clear under the sunlight. The white mist had also dissipated a lot at this moment, revealing his sharp face.

He pursed his lips slightly, as if he had encountered something incomprehensible, his eyebrows were furrowed, and his dark green pupils were flickering.

"This matter is not that simple. Just pretend you don't know and don't continue to get involved. It's too dangerous."

Especially for a weak woman like Yun Nian who has no self-defense ability, she is not like Huo Daiyu and Shen Ningsi, both of whom are either extremely powerful or intelligent and patient.

Unlike Fuqiu, she was more ruthless to herself when she was in danger.

Yun Nian is simple and not very smart. Her world seems to be filled with only good and bad.

This is not a bad thing, but Wei Qingjue sometimes feels a headache. It would be better if she was not so sincere. But if so, maybe he would not like her at all.

He stood up, and Yun Nian jumped onto the wet, smooth stone, swaying for a while with his bare feet, intending to jump in and find another pair of shoes.

"wait."

Wei Qingjue had already stretched out his hand, but then retracted it as if to avoid suspicion. His fingertips moved on his waist a few times in panic, and his eyes looked away as if they were burned.

What's the difference between stepping in like this and just now? Won't it still get dirty?

He really didn't know whether he should find it funny or something else. He sighed and then spoke,

"I'll get it for you."

The young lady would naturally be happy to receive help from someone, even if that person was the high and mighty Regent.

Yun Nian pointed excitedly at the room.

"In that..."

"I know. It's under the cupboard."

Fortunately, he hid inside yesterday, otherwise he would not know where to find women's shoes.

The regent's voice faded away, and when he reappeared, he was holding a pair of exquisite embroidered shoes and a pure white handkerchief.

He handed both items to her expressionlessly, then turned away.

"for you."

Yun Nian stepped on the handkerchief a few times before putting on her shoes. She glanced at the open door and saw the tightly closed door on the other side.

No one should have been here. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After all, being caught doing something bad was always unsettling.

"All right, Your Highness."

When their eyes met, she showed a somewhat distressed expression.

"But Your Highness, I'm afraid I can't agree to your request. Now that I've discovered this thing, I naturally can't just watch it continue to exist."

She didn't care whether the Regent would be angry or not, as if she had no fear at all.

"I was the first to discover it, so I can naturally get involved, but I will protect myself well, so Your Highness, you don't have to worry."

Don't worry, Wei Qingjue is so angry that he almost dies. Why is there such an irresistible woman in the world? It's not right to pamper her, nor is it right to scold her.

His means of controlling her were simply not effective on her, but he was unable to suppress his love for her.

His expression turned cold.

"You can do whatever you want. If you insist on participating, I will have the Prime Minister end his rest immediately and come to court immediately."

"Also, don't try to go into the cave alone again. You've seen the dangers there, haven't you?"

After saying this, he didn't even look at Yun Nian's expression and walked away.

Looking at the direction he left, Yun Nian didn't have a trace of sadness on her face. She just frowned and thought for a moment.

"It seems that I can't go alone... Then, I'll just find a few more people."
