"Brother!" Xiao Wenshu stood up in panic.

"Your Highness." She stood up and met Xiao Yanqing's cold eyes, suppressing the tension in her heart.

They didn't even notice when he came back. It seemed like he heard everything that was just said.

"If you want to cooperate with me, you have to pay a price. Do you want to try it?" If this woman really wants to cooperate with him, he will know the truth after trying it.

She was stunned for a moment, a little doubtful, "Of course, I wonder what Your Highness wants me to do?"

"Do you still remember what I said, that if you don't have enough ability, you are not qualified to discuss any deal with me." The look he gave her as he looked down at her, combined with his own gloomy temperament, was like the endless night that was descending, swallowing her yet attracting her.

Her pupils moved back to his proud face, "Remember, His Highness said at the time that I must train for more than half a year."

"Although the time has not come yet, I can give you a chance."

"Okay." She nodded.

"If you succeed, I can formally reach a cooperation with you." There was a hint of teasing in his eyes.

Suddenly, she felt the excitement surging in her body. She walked forward uncontrollably and asked again, "Is what your highness said true?"

He met her excited black eyes, her pretty face, her innocent smile, but what surprised him was that her face was red, filled with blood. This morbid feeling pierced his heart.

He raised his head and turned away, "Don't get so close to me."

She was stunned and blinked, then she realized that she was almost touching his body, and quickly took a step back.

Seeing that he seemed to mind, why didn't he tell her to stay away from her when he dragged her into the water and bathed with her yesterday?

As he turned away, he did not see her expression, he only felt her body retreating away, and her gaze that was still waiting for an answer.

He pursed his lips and responded, "Really."

"Great."

Suddenly, her cheers of joy came from behind him.

Finally I heard his response. Although I'm not sure if he wanted to test me again, since he brought it up, there is a certain degree of truth in it.

For her, if she wants to control her own life, the first step is that she must control her own life and death.

……

In the hall at night, the flickering candles reflected his prominent silhouette.

"Your Highness, the matter has been investigated thoroughly. I will deal with that person today." Qian Yun leaned beside him.

"Okay, how has Jiang Qingyu's training been going in recent days?" Xiao Yanqing asked.

"Miss Qingyu learns very quickly. It's a simple task, so dealing with a few people is no problem."

According to His Highness's request, Jiang Qingyu practiced intensively for several days using the training method of a professional killer. Although he did not understand His Highness's intention, it was undeniable that Jiang Qingyu was very talented and learned very quickly.

"Leave this task to Jiang Qingyu."

"What?!" Qian Yun was shocked.

If this mission fails, the impact on His Highness can be imagined.

"But Your Highness, what if she fails..."

"This is just a test. We will find out whether Jiang Qingyu has any intentions." The bright lights could not illuminate his dark pupils.

"I don't understand what Your Highness means."

He just hooked his finger, and Qianyun leaned closer, his pupils widening as he spoke.

That night, after practice, Xiao Yanqing summoned her into the house and gave her the task.

"Tonight at midnight, go to that person's mansion and find something."

"What is it?" Qing Yu smiled widely, unable to conceal his excitement.

"A piece of evidence." He picked up the teacup with his slender fingers and took a sip.

"exhibit?"

"It's Jiang Zhuo's evidence. There's something in it that will be very helpful in dealing with him later." He admitted.

"It's so important, Your Highness, please leave it to me?" If she failed, would she die?

"Qianyun will bring people to cover you. All you have to do is go in, find it, and bring it to me."

Xiao Yanqing roughly told her what it was and where it was placed.

"Okay, no problem." No wonder the training methods have been different recently, so that's why.

"Qianyun, take her to prepare."

"It's Your Highness."

She just turned around and suddenly remembered something, "Your Highness."

"If I succeed, does that mean I have passed the test?"

He looked up to meet her eyes, "We'll talk when you succeed."

"Okay, then Your Highness will wait and see."

He watched her back as she left, if she really passed up such a good opportunity, did that mean she had any point in cooperating?

Perhaps even he himself is not sure of the answer.

Jiang Qingyu, what kind of person are you?

child time.

They changed their clothes, took a few people with them, and sneaked into a mansion in the dark. They squatted on the city wall, bypassing the guards outside the door, and secretly observed the situation.

She was wearing a simple black dress, with her hair tied up neatly and high. The black cloth covered her icy face, leaving only her watery pupils exposed.

"Miss Qingyu, we have already investigated it clearly. It is in that house." Qianyun pointed to the house in front of them not far away.

Qing Yu looked towards the window where the light was coming through, which meant that there was someone else inside.

"Wait until the guards leave. I will attract the man's attention. Then you can go in and look for what His Highness needs. We will wait for you outside."

She nodded in agreement and tightened her grip on the sword.

"The guards will be patrolling around, so you have a cup of tea. This house has a backyard, so if you are discovered, you can leave from the back."

Qian Yun repeatedly explained the details of the mission, as if she wanted to ensure that she could complete the mission and return safely.

She squatted on the eaves. This was her first time to look out at this unknown world. Even in the quiet night, she could feel the magnificence and grandeur of Yongqing City, the capital of the Bei'anshi Dynasty.

I feel more clearly the existence of this world. Although I don’t understand where this place is, since I am here, I must follow the survival rules of this world.

"Action!" Qianyun gave the order and jumped off the eaves with Qingyu, and the rest of the people dispersed.

She and Qianyun hid on both sides of the house, and the people inside seemed to have heard the noise.

"who!"

The people inside ran out and looked around anxiously.

Seeing this, Qian Yun deliberately revealed his true colors to force him to chase after him.

Qing Yu saw the opportunity and was about to go in, but he heard a muffled sound of pain from the side.

She stopped and looked over there, vaguely seeing Qianyun dragging that person.

She was startled and a question instantly flashed through her mind.

Does this mission require killing people?

However, she had no time to delay. She only had ten minutes to find the information Xiao Yanqing mentioned.

She lit a candle and carefully looked through the documents in the compartment. The compartments were clearly divided and it was not difficult to find the place. She could see at a glance where the prime minister of the palace was.

She checked and flipped through it, and found that this was the transaction details of some officials in charge of official business. For her, who was in charge of business planning, this was very familiar.

She found the detailed records about Jiang Zhuo and checked them carefully. She has always been sensitive to data. It is undeniable that some manipulation was indeed done, but this alone is not enough to cause any harm to Jiang Zhuo.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but wonder if she had misunderstood, or if Xiao Yanqing really needed this thing?
