Evil Prince, Come Play With Me

Chapter 860: A Smart Person

Something that the imperial consort couldn’t let Xiao Jingyun know about – unless she was having an affair, it had to be something disadvantageous to the emperor.

In this world, relationships depended on strength; there was no true love or feelings.

Therefore, it was absolutely possible that the concubine was selling information from the palace to her maiden family.

Secretly sending out a letter at this point in time was especially suspicious. She didn’t even use her own trusted aide, and had given it to an outsider like Yaolian.

Gu Bailu took the letter. “Let’s open it for a look.”

Bu Yaolian hurriedly stopped her. “No, this letter has the unique seal of the concubine’s family. If it’s touched, the other side will definitely know.”

Gu Bailu blinked and smiled. “I have an idea.”

If she couldn’t open it, she could use her Heavenly Eye. This was the first time she felt that her Heavenly Eye was so useful.

After cultivating it all this time, it hadn’t been of very much use.

Gu Bailu opened her Heavenly Eye and the letter was revealed to her. The handwriting was delicate but strong, and was clearly written by a woman.

“The emperor is refining a pill with the combined strength of three parties. Whoever obtains this pill will be able to rule the world. Send people to the palace as soon as possible.”

Gu Bailu sniffed after reading the letter. “It seems that the palace is going to get lively very soon.”

She told Bu Yaolian the contents of the letter.

“Her maiden family is the number one aristocratic family in Rising Clouds Empire, and has more influence than the empress’s maiden family. By right, she shouldn’t be doing such a disgraceful thing, right?”

“No one is willing to lower their heads and listen to others for the rest of their lives. The reason why they are obedient is because they know that they aren’t as strong as the other party. If there is something, however, that can instantly boost their power, how can they let it go?”

Everyone wanted to be someone important.

The aristocratic families weren’t like those commoners with low spiritual power who had long lost their willpower and were as lowly as dirt.

“But this should be a secret. How would the imperial concubine have found out?” Gu Bailu asked curiously.

“It’s said that this consort is especially favored. Xiao Jingyun doesn’t hide anything from her. Furthermore, she’s intelligent to begin with, so she might have picked out the clues herself.” Bu Yaolian knew that there was no love in the palace.

Xiao Jingyun doted on the imperial consort because of her skills in bed, which made Xiao Jingyun willing to dual cultivate with her.

When Xiao Jingyun’s strength got to a point where he had to dual cultivate, the imperial concubine just happened to be to his liking and matched his strength. As for her prowess in bed, that was nail-biting ecstasy. Xiao Jingyun spent most of his time with her at Ronghua Palace.

That was why Bu Yaolian went to consult her on questions about men.

In that regard, Gu Bailu was probably no match for the consort.

“She must know a lot of things. It would be good if I can get something out of her.” Gu Bailu narrowed her eyes and returned the letter to Bu Yaolian. “Can you delay the delivery?”

If all sorts of people were to enter, the palace would probably be completely sealed off, and she wouldn’t be able to move around easily.

“I’ll try my best to drag it out, but it’s not good to drag it out for too long. The consort is quite good to me.” Bu Yaolian smiled.

However, it was nothing compared with her revolutionary friendship with Gu Bailu.

“Yes, I won’t make things difficult for you.” Gu Bailu knew that Bu Yaolian was smart, which was why she dared to put her next to Shao Zun.

However, no matter how smart she was, it was still very dangerous.

“If you want to get information from the consort, I’m afraid you’ll need to use a special method. Her spiritual power is high and she’s intelligent. I think she’s smarter than the average person,” Bu Yaolian said.

Gu Bailu smiled. “That’s good. It’s better to deal with smart people.”

“Should I bring you to her now?” Bu Yaolian asked.
