After Han Yunxi told Ning Cheng about Jun Yi Xie's improper behavior towards her, Ning Cheng sat there by himself for a long time without saying a word.
'Stop when appropriate' was a very profound skill. If used well, it would yield twice the results with half the effort. If not, it would all crumble.
Han Yunxi stopped there and let Ning Cheng remain silent. She didn't take the initiative to say anything else. Of course, if Ning Cheng asked her questions, she'd answer them without question.
In the end, Ning Cheng said seriously, "Jun Yi Xie didn't tell me such a big thing! Why? "
Han Yunxi smiled coldly. "He offended me, but he didn't dare to admit it. At least now that he knows you're looking for the Shadow Clan's whereabouts, shouldn't he tell me? I thought Gu Beiyue was protecting me because of the poison beast, but it's laughable now that I think about it. Why would a descendant of the Shadow Clan need a poison beast? He's not like Jun Yi Xie's poison skills, nor can he fight the poison beast. "
Ning Cheng nodded, then suddenly asked, "Is there anything else?"
Han Yunxi almost didn't know how to react. "What?"
"Princess is suspecting Jun Yi Xie, isn't she? Besides that, is there anything else that's aroused princess's suspicions? "Ning Cheng asked seriously.
Han Yunxi was surprised. Only now did she realize that Ning Cheng was much smarter than she'd imagined.
But it made sense. Ning Cheng was the boss behind Cloud Realm Trade Consortium, the master of the Ning Clan troops, and Tianning's Prince Regent. He could do business, lead troops, and scheme in politics. He was simply a genius who crossed over from another world! If he wasn't smart, how could he be where he was today? She recalled how he'd tricked the Nether Clan's Chu Clan and even tricked Long Fei Ye to seize control of Tianning. Long Fei Ye was a very vengeful man back then.
Han Yunxi thought that it must be Ning Cheng's docile and respectful attitude that made her forget that he was actually a fierce wolf!
Han Yunxi originally wanted to hide the matter of the black-clothed assassin and let Ning Cheng investigate it himself.
At this moment, she changed her mind.
When faced with such a smart person, rather than beating around the bush, it was better to be straightforward with him. What's more, his current attitude was very frank.
If Han Yunxi continued to hide it, it would seem that she had ulterior motives.
She said, "Ning Cheng, I'm not suspecting him, but I'm sure he's up to no good! Jun Yi Xie didn't say anything because he didn't want you to find the Shadow Clan. You all know that the Shadow Clan was almost completely wiped out back then. Moreover, the Shadow Clan is just a Shadow Guard. They aren't a powerful force. They don't have any military or financial support for the recovery of Western Qin. What is Jun Yi Xie afraid of about Gu Beiyue? "
Seeing that Ning Cheng was seriously pondering, Han Yunxi continued, "Ning Cheng, the Shadow Clan's existence is only related to my personal safety. He doesn't want you to find the Shadow Clan, so he definitely doesn't want me, Han Yunxi, to live well! "
"He dares!" Ning Cheng said coldly.
Han Yunxi went along with his intentions and said, "Of course, there's another possibility, which is that Jun Yi Xie has something on Gu Beiyue, but he doesn't dare to say it."
Although Ning Cheng nodded, he didn't completely believe Han Yunxi's words. After all, Han Yunxi didn't give him a clear conclusion, but provided two doubts.
As for the truth, he still had to find Gu Beiyue to know! Between the Shadow Clan and the Wind Clan, Ning Cheng had absolute trust in the Shadow Clan!
"Princess, where in Medical City is Gu Beiyue in seclusion?" Ning Cheng asked seriously.
Han Yunxi smiled bitterly and stared at him silently.
"Princess …" Ning Cheng was a little uneasy.
"On the night that Long Fei Ye raised his troops, Gu Beiyue was attacked by an assassin and fell into the deepest abyss of the Poison Sect's forbidden grounds. They went down to search for him for a long time, but couldn't find him," Han Yunxi said mildly.
Ning Cheng froze.
Han Yunxi told Ning Cheng everything that happened that night, but she didn't mention that the dark-robed assassin had used Celestial Mountain's sword skills.
She couldn't say this even if she was beaten to death. Otherwise, Ning Cheng would not only doubt her words, but also her stance!
Ning Cheng's attitude towards Long Fei Ye was absolute enmity. He trusted anyone but Long Fei Ye!
"So you suspect that the assassin is from the Poison Sect?" Ning Cheng asked.
"It must be someone from the Poison Sect, and a direct descendant at that. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to cure my poison so quickly, "Han Yunxi said confidently.
Ning Cheng's brows furrowed even tighter. Han Yunxi accidentally caught sight of Long Fei Ye's furrowed brows and hurriedly averted her eyes.
She secretly laughed at her poor eyesight, but she knew it was only because she missed that man too much.
"A direct descendant of the Poison Sect, the princess's …" Ning Cheng was incredulous.
"Even if he isn't my father, he must be an elder. Why doesn't he recognize me? Why did he kill Gu Beiyue? He's ungrateful! The Poison Sect was rehabilitated all thanks to Gu Beiyue! "Han Yunxi said indignantly.
"Why must he be an elder?" Ning Cheng countered. "It's possible that he's from the same generation."
"Because he's very likely Jun Yi Xie's master!" Han Yunxi got straight to the point. "I'm sure Ning Nuo is well aware of Jun Yi Xie's imprisonment on Fishery Island."
Han Yunxi told him everything about Fishery Island's poison fog and the Lost Path Poison Duel. She pointed the spearhead at the Wind Clan.
Slap!
Ning Cheng shot to his feet, fury dancing in his eyes. If he still couldn't figure out what was going on after knowing so much, he might as well quit his job.
Jun Yi Xie wasn't a member of the Wind Clan, he was just a spokesperson!
Han Yunxi saw that things were going well and hurriedly reminded him, "Ning Cheng, back then, the Nether Clan's Chu Clan raised the banner of reviving Western Qin. Your Di Clan knew that the Nether Clan had ulterior motives, but did the Wind Clan know as well? Why didn't they show their faces? "
"Why did they wait until Long Fei Ye mobilized his troops? Also, my identity was exposed the moment Long Fei Ye mobilized his troops. Who was the one who did that? "Han Yunxi asked.
"Jun Yi Xie's master is your father, so he knows about your origins …" Ning Cheng immediately denied it. "He knows about Lady Tianxin's origins, so he knows about your identity! He knew you were Western Qin's princess from the moment you were born! "
Han Yunxi had never felt so good about Ning Cheng before. She nodded excitedly.
"Not only did he hide it for so many years, he only revealed it to the public today. He doesn't even acknowledge you. Such motives … "Ning Cheng's beautiful eyes narrowed into slits, filled with a dangerous aura and even a hint of viciousness.
Once again, it reminded Han Yunxi that the man in front of her wasn't a docile sheep, but a wild wolf that could bite a person to death.
For the first time, Han Yunxi rejoiced in Ning Cheng's loyalty to Western Qin and his trust in her. Otherwise, Heaven knows how much time and effort she'd have to spend to expose the Wind Clan's lies.
It didn't matter how much effort she put into it, but she didn't have much time left.
She looked at Chu Qingge's sickly emaciated body on the ground and felt grateful that this woman had found a way to convince Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng paced back and forth in the room before coming to a decision. "Princess, Tianning has long fallen under this subordinate's control. This subordinate plans to hang up the Western Chu banner tomorrow. We won't go to the army, but stay in the palace and have Bai Yuqiao pay his respects."
No matter what, he couldn't let Bai Yuqiao stay in the army any longer. Heaven knows what kind of intentions she had.
"Let's get the imperial jade seal first before we hang up the banner," Han Yunxi intoned.
"As long as you're here, princess, it won't affect us much," Ning Cheng said.
Ning Cheng had no idea that Han Yunxi's actions would have a "massive" impact. Once the banner was hung, she'd officially be the princess of Western Qin and lead the Di and Wind Clans against the Long Fei Ye. What would Long Fei Ye think of her then?
Han Yunxi remembered clearly that Long Fei Ye had once asked her if she'd bear a grudge against East Qin if she was the princess of Western Qin, or if she'd want to restore her country.
Her answer back then had always been yes.
Once the two sides officially clashed, would she still have a chance to ask that question? No matter what, Han Yunxi had to stop Ning Cheng from hanging up the banner.
It was impossible to see Long Fei Ye now, so she had to find a reliable person to pass on the problem to Long Fei Ye.
Han Yunxi began to think nervously. Just what kind of reason should she use to convince Ning Cheng?
Finally, she came up with a brilliant idea. She had Ning Cheng sit down and lowered her voice to speak to him. Ning Cheng listened carefully before giving her a thumbs up. "Brilliant! Truly brilliant. This subordinate admires you! "
Han Yunxi finally exhaled. She too felt that her move had been too brilliant. If not for the urgency of the situation, she might not have come up with such an idea.
I'll be able to see 'Han Yunxi's' biological father very soon!
That very day, at Han Yunxi's request, Ning Cheng gave Chu Qingge a grand funeral and sent the little emperor, who wasn't even three years old, to the medical academy.
"Esteemed wangfei, the medical academy is under Long Fei Ye's control. This isn't appropriate," Ning Cheng didn't tell Han Yunxi.
"What does this have to do with him? Medical City sealed off the city to search for the missing person only because I'm the head of the medical academy and the head of the Poison Sect. Long Fei Ye still has the authority to order around Department Head Jue. I'm afraid that he still refuses to acknowledge my identity and misled the department head. "
Han Yunxi pretended to laugh coldly as she spoke. "When I admit my identity in the future, Medical City won't give Long Fei Ye any face."
Ning Cheng looked at Han Yunxi and recalled her previous oath. In the end, he believed her words.
"You don't have to send him there in your name. Just send him there in the name of Tianning's imperial clan," Han Yunxi sighed. "Medical City has a responsibility to him, so they won't refuse. In the end, he's still a pitiful child. Don't let him attend the funeral. "
"Alright," Ning Cheng agreed easily.
Han Yunxi disguised herself as a court lady and attended Chu Qingge's funeral.
Once the ceremony was over, Ning Cheng sent Bai Yuqiao a secret missive. He didn't say whether he'd already kidnapped Han Yunxi, but only asked Bai Yuqiao to bring the imperial jade seal to the capital.
Han Yunxi couldn't sit still in her room. In the end, she decided to take a risk.
As soon as she left the room, her attendant bowed respectfully. "Your Royal Highness, where are you going?"
Compared to Medical City, Ning Cheng was much less guarded against her. This was all thanks to Han Yunxi's malicious oath. Most of the guards by her side were there to protect her, not to spy on her.
Han Yunxi had a chance to escape, but there was no need for her to do so. There was nowhere safer than Ning Cheng's place.
She had no idea what Long Fei Ye's attitude was. Perhaps she'd die if she ran to Long Fei Ye's place.
Thinking up to here, she couldn't help but smile bitterly. She couldn't even ask him the question she wanted to ask him face to face.
"I want to see that little emperor. Have someone lead the way," Han Yunxi said.
"He's with Grand Concubine Ning. This subordinate will take you there," the attendant was very attentive.
A crafty look flitted past Han Yunxi's eyes before she feigned indifference. "We'll be sending him off tomorrow morning. Have you packed up your luggage?"
