Gong Yixuan's calm voice broke Tensei's reverie. He quickly regained his senses and bowed outside the courtyard. "Greetings, Seventh Madam!"
Gong Yixuan's heart tightened. Even the Spirit Needle in her hand trembled. "You were ordered to fetch the Ice Spirit. Where is she?"
Seeing that the Ice Spirit didn't follow, Gong Yixuan guessed something.
Tensei rubbed his fingers. There were too many spies in the Prime Minister's residence. He couldn't tell her the truth. Otherwise, if the First Madam discovered her abnormality, all his previous efforts would be for naught!
Tensei could only sigh inwardly. He bowed and said, "Madam, the Third Miss has passed away. Fortunately, she has been avenged."
The Seventh Madam, who had just stood up, staggered back to her seat. Her face instantly turned pale. Despair filled her face. She couldn't regain her senses for a long time. Only tears kept falling from her eyes and the Spirit Needle in her hand.
"My condolences, Seventh Madam!" Tensei finally spoke after a long wait.
Gong Yixuan endured the pain and said with difficulty, "Do you have anything left behind?"
As she spoke, Tensei realized that the Seventh Madam had broken her teeth from clenching them so hard that blood was flowing from the corner of her mouth.
Tensei sighed inwardly. He couldn't bear to see the Ice Spirit's mother in such pain. But what could he do? If he told her that the Ice Spirit wasn't dead, her reaction would definitely expose everything. At that time, it would be a small matter if his plan was ruined. It would be more likely that he and the Seventh Madam would lose their lives!
"I'm sorry. I'll bring you to see the Ice Spirit after everything is done!" Tensei said inwardly. He then took out the jade pendant.
Gong Yixuan spat out a mouthful of blood the moment she saw the jade pendant. Her aura became weak. "Ling 'er!"
Gong Yixuan reached out and took the jade pendant. Her face turned pale as she clutched the jade pendant tightly. She couldn't help but sob.
Tensei was about to speak when the Seventh Madam's voice sounded in his mind. "Please tell me honestly. Where is Ling 'er?"
Hearing the sound transmission, Tensei was stunned. Could it be that there was another mystery in the jade pendant that allowed her to discover that the Ice Spirit was still alive?
"Don't worry, I, Gong Yixuan, am not a stupid person. When I saw the jade pendant, I naturally understood the reason behind it. Bing Ling didn't die, and you're not a member of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so you must have saved Ling 'er, right?" The Seventh Madame was still sobbing, but her joyful voice transmission once again sounded in Tensei's mind.
Tensei was stunned. Both mother and daughter were extremely intelligent. That jade pendant probably contained a secret that only the Seventh Madame knew. That was why she was able to discover that the Ice Spirit wasn't dead.
"Please, I know that you sneaked into the Prime Minister's Mansion for the Ice Spirit. Don't worry, I won't ruin your plans!" Seventh Madame saw Tensei's silence and became nervous.
Tensei took a deep breath. "How did Seventh Madam find out that I'm not from the Prime Minister's Estate?"
The Seventh Madame didn't hesitate. "In the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, no one would show me respect, but you are different, so I came to this conclusion."
Tensei was surprised. It seemed that her days in the Prime Minister's Mansion were not good, otherwise how could she find out from such a small matter?
Now that he had been found out, although Tensei was helpless, he was also relieved. The Seventh Madame was obviously trying to cover for him. Since she had such a heart, why not tell her?
Thinking of this, Tensei smiled and said, "The Ice Spirit girl is exceptionally intelligent, but I didn't expect the Seventh Madame to be even more so. Seventh Madame, don't worry, the Ice Spirit is cultivating in one of my divine tools. When I'm done, I will take Seventh Madame away from here and reunite with the Ice Spirit."
"It seems that Ling 'er asked you to do this. Although I don't know why you are doing this, this lowly concubine will do her best to help you." As the Seventh Madame spoke, she slowly sat up from her sobbing body on the stone table. The needle in her hand turned and instantly pierced her throat!
Tian Chen was shocked. Seeing that the divine needle was about to pierce the Seventh Madame's forehead, he hurriedly rushed out and caught the divine needle.
"Seventh Madame, why do you have to do this?" Tensei hurriedly transmitted.
"You'll know soon!"
As soon as he transmitted, the First Madame's voice came from outside. "Humph! Even if you want to die, don't die in the Prime Minister's Estate! If you dare to do such a thing again, I guarantee that your corpse will be very unlucky! "
The First Madame didn't come in, but said coldly, "Guard Ning, come with me!"
Tensei raised his eyebrows. It seemed that although the First Madame wanted the Ice Spirit's mother to die, she didn't dare to let her die in the Prime Minister's Estate. She was probably afraid that the Prime Minister would blame her!
In the First Madame's courtyard, the First Madame, who was as cold as ice before, couldn't stop laughing wildly. Her laughter even looked a little sinister.
Tensei quietly bowed and stood aside. After a long time, the First Madame stopped laughing and said with satisfaction, "Ning Baisheng, you really didn't disappoint me. When I saw that bitch so heartbroken that she wanted to commit suicide, I felt indescribably happy!"
Tensei looked calm, but he sighed in his heart. The Seventh Madame was not only intelligent, but also extraordinarily courageous. When she used the trick of injuring herself to gain the First Madame's sympathy, she had completely bewitched the First Madame.
"It's also fortunate that you stopped her. Otherwise, if she died, I wouldn't be able to escape the blame. You did well! Don't worry about the Monument Viewing Conference! "the First Madame continued.
"Thank you, First Madame, for your help!" Tensei said.
"You may leave. The Third Prince and the Princess are guests in the residence. The First Madame and the Second Madame are accompanying them. Your team is also in Donglin Garden to protect them. How can you be absent?"
Tensei obeyed and walked towards Donglin Garden. There was still half a year before the next Monument Viewing Conference. If he was careful and waited until then, there would naturally be no problems.
Before he reached Donglin Garden, Tensei heard bursts of fighting coming from there. He couldn't help but be suspicious. Who would dare to fight in the Prime Minister's residence?
He hurried into Donglin Garden and saw a mansion soldier fighting with a woman in snow-white clothes. Neither of them used the slightest bit of Divine Power, but each move was hair-raising.
Finally, the mansion soldier's chest was pierced with a bloody wound and he was defeated. He respectfully bowed and said, "The Princess's swordsmanship is profound. I have lost!"
The woman put away her long sword and stood there with a slight displeasure. Under the cover of the sun, her body seemed to emit a faint holy light. Her white dress fluttered in the wind, making her look like an otherworldly goddess. She calmly said, "Bing Yinwei, your people are obviously going easy on me. The Prime Minister's residence is really boring."
Bing Yinwei? Tensei looked at the brocade-robed young man not far away. That was the only son of the Prime Minister.
Bing Yinwei had been staring at the Princess. At this moment, he seemed to come to his senses. He hurriedly smiled and said, "The Princess is joking. Everyone knows that the Princess's swordsmanship is superb. Without using Divine Power, how many people can defeat you?"
"I'm just looking for a powerful swordsman to guide me in my swordsmanship practice. If Bing Yinwei can't even satisfy me, wouldn't I have come in vain?"
As she spoke, the Princess inadvertently glanced at Tensei who had just arrived. Her eyes suddenly flashed with a trace of brilliance. "I seem to have found a worthy opponent!"
