On the other side of the carriage troupe Qiuxi and Mei Miyan, were, the day before Qiuxi departed he had already sent Jiang Su as one of his Ghost Generals to investigate a masked servant who was next to Lin Sili that Chen Yu had reported.
And according to Qiuxi's orders now Jiang Su observed a masked servant whom the master suspected was Lin Sili's servant who used a mask to hide his face, although his face was tightly covered yet his stature showed his late twenties and was currently under Jiang Su's supervision the man entered a fairly secluded room that existed in the far reaches of the empire as well as a place rarely touched.
As he followed the masked servant to one of the isolated places, how shocked Jiang Su was to learn that there was another man lying on the bed with a face like a sleeping corpse, the masked man looked uneasy as if he was sorry for what he did and he paced back and forth uncharacteristically because it was darkened by a momentary perverted feeling. Not too long later Lin Sili came up to him and her eyes widened to see the man lying on the bed.
Lin Sili snapped at the masked maid. "Cheng Huo's! You destroyed everything! What did you do to prince Yixing!?"
In the shadow of the night Jiang Su hid, his forehead frowning in confusion. "The masked servant was the first prince of Cheng? Did I not hear wrong..?"
That Cheng Huo said as well to Lin Sili. "Tell me what to do? It must be prince Yixing who will be the next emperor's mother, even though he was the first prince in this empire why he had to undergo the next emperor!"
The more he heard Ceng Huo's words, the more confusing it became for Jiang Su to carry out his master's orders alone, he could only ask himself. "So that Lin Sili was actually Ceng Ming, why did she use a human mask and turn her face into that of Lin Sili?"
Cheng Huo still did not accept that because the emperor seat was closer to Lin Yixing even though he himself was the eldest son, then he could not accept it and poisoned Lin Yixing. Since his mother, Cheng Ming did not know the intent of his actions, Cheng Huo shouted loudly. "What's wrong with this action of mine tell me mother, if I don't poison Lin Yixing then until whenever I won't be able to become someone emperor?!"
The real Lin Sili Cheng Ming put on a complicated expression. "You're supposed to ask me first, who do you think I'm doing all this for if not for you and our Cheng family?"
Hearing Cheng Ming's words, a loud laughter burst out from Cheng Huo's mouth. "Hahaha what do you think I believe? It must be all just because of your own pride and you actually never fully cared about your child in the slightest!"
- Plak!
Cheng Ming who heard it instantly could not bear to slap Cheng Huo. "Cheng'er don't cross your limits! Everything that mother did for our Cheng family, you just need to remember that carefully!"
Cheng Huo instantly rubbed his swollen cheeks and clenched his hands tightly as he got a slap from Cheng Ming, he glanced at Lin Yixing who was half-dead from his poison before he sniffed furiously and went out of the room.

When he reached Nanfang, Qiuxi looked at the atmosphere of the Fu courtyard he had been leaving behind and although the time of Qiuxi's departure was fast, it felt like a full year he had left the Nanfang palace.
And when his entourage arrived at the residence of the second princess of Nanfang empire, the, when Qiuxi first set foot there he immediately saw thousands of magnolia flowers blooming fresh at night and each petal was full of white as if to sedate the eyes of anyone who saw it .
Under the moonlight, Qiuxi's black irises swept over the figure of the beautiful man standing behind her, who was also the same person who had planted thousands of magnolias in each of her non-living residences, Feng shui.
Qiuxi also asked. "Do you want to be a lowly gardener?"
Feng Shui smiled gently looking at his sneering nona in front of his eyes. "It was a magnolia flower, a flower very similar to the white skin of the lady. So if I become a lowly gardener it's okay too."
Qiuxi silently did not say any further because she also felt her white skin was different from that of a typical white human. Especially when his first life lived in a tropical Indonesian ad first, feeling his skin whiter than snow, he was often stunned by his own white skin.
After being silent for a moment, there was suddenly a delicate female voice heard behind him.
"Sister Lin's female cousin you've come? How worried is the big brother who always thinks of your safety outside the empire.." Lin Sili said with both eyebrows limply withered, the expression so longed for the figure of her little sister because they had long since not met each other. But Qiuxi knew clearly if the expression of worry in the eyes of the woman was actually just fake.
Qiuxi's black iris swept away her brother's worries and when it saw Lin Sili the instant the clear water fell from both Qiuxi's black irises and the thirteen-year-old woman's body suddenly shivered trembling with great feeling of fear.
Qiuxi said with a stutter and his eyes that were used to tyranny for the entirety of his Ghost army, suddenly became extremely soft and weak. "Cousin-brother, this princess is very afraid every day.. and what if the Nanfang empire was destroyed because my own selfishness that blurred when the situation was difficult to make the existence of the emperor's father and empress mother disappear. Cousin-brother, forgive this princess.."
Seeing Qiuxi's pretence, Mei Miyan looked at the girl in a blood red dress filled with question marks, was the thirteen-year-old girl in front of her sitting with her on the crete? Because change is impossible! Clearly in front of her right now was only Lin's daughter who had lost her father and her mother was not a golden masked Ghost Alchemist with a ripe smile that concealed a tyrannical aura!
Because obviously the girl in the blood gown was like an innocent, weak and crybaby Lin Qiu Xi rumor!
Chen Yu and Xiao Boa also did not escape with the same question, where did big brother master who always had an expression as cold as the abyss of hell go? A Ghost Army leader was now just an extremely innocent and frail daughter of the emperor, as if the girl could be broken if touched just a little.
Lin Sili then hugged her sister's trembling body, her hands gently patted Qiuxi's shoulders and she said in a worried voice. "You rest first cousin Lin's sister because your body needs a break from the long journey. So you rest and this cousin brother will command two men to guard your residence."
Lin Sili smilingly looked at the white face of the magnolia flower that belonged to her sister and a flash later Qiuxi replied to her with a dull smile as well as a smile that could not be carelessly interpreted by people because the smile of Qiuxi hidden a cunning trick that he will prepare for the one who dares to harass him.
Qiuxi narrowed half his eyes, two people to guard in his own residence?
Those people must have been assigned to watch over Qiuxi's movements within the range of their plans, but their calculations never expected that the opponent they alluded to was actually the leader of the Demon Slaying Ghost army whose name had shaken around the martial world.
And he was Lin Qiu Xi who would never be like with rumors, because he was better at biting first than at being bitten.
Qiuxi smiled slightly. "Well, this princess will follow the wishes of her cousin.."
