The Three-Life Stone

"For your mother?"

Luo Xing couldn't think of a better reason to convince Nangong Yu, so he answered ambiguously: "Your Highness can understand it this way."

"Okay, you will be the one taking care of me from now on." Nangong Yu saw that he couldn't get any information out of him, so he decided to let him serve him and then give up.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Luo family, in the garden.

"What? That bitch is so bold? If she wants to die, please don't drag our Luo family down with her." Roy couldn't help but get furious when he heard the news.

"Miss, calm down. I heard it's been three days. It should be fine now."

"That bitch was actually left in the palace by the prince?"

Luo Yi became even angrier. Would someone come to propose marriage soon? Prince An is not married yet. Even if Luo Xing was not a princess in the past, she was at least a concubine. Would he have to bow to her when he sees her in the future? She wants to be superior to him. Is she, Luo Xing, worthy of it?

"It's not clear yet. The master intends to come and apologize in person."

The prince didn't make any move for three days, maybe he just wanted to have fun. That bitch doesn't even have the self-awareness to come to the door, she's worse than a prostitute, it's really a disgrace to the Luo family.

"Well, let's wait until the master comes back."

The maid breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Roy looked better. The young lady was usually very gentle, but this eldest lady was not even one tenth as good as her own young lady. She had no manners at all and brought shame to the women of the Luo family. That was why the young lady was so angry. She didn't know if this would damage her reputation.

About an incense stick later, Luo Huai walked in with big strides. Seeing this, the maid guarding the door hurried back to the courtyard to inform Roy.

"The master is back."

"What's your expression, Dad?"

The maid thought for a moment and said, "Hurry in steps, expressionless on face."

"Miss, are you still going?" asked Roy's personal maid Dingxiang.

"No need. Father must be very angry at this situation. We should not go and bring bad luck upon him. Just send someone to keep an eye on the situation."

Roy laughed secretly. As expected, how could a lowly person like Luo Xing climb over his head?

Luo Xing served Nangong Yu really diligently and responsibly, without any airs at all.

Nangong Yu deliberately made things difficult for Luo Xing, complaining that the tea was too cold, too hot, not cold enough, and not hot enough, repeating this four times. Luo Xing never got angry or annoyed. He was picky when serving the dishes and even dropped one of his chopsticks when using them. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he did it on purpose. Luo Xing still had a smile on his face as he went in and out.

When Nangong Yu said he wanted to take a bath, Luo Xing followed him without blushing or beating his heart, and asked with a smile: "Does the prince need me to scrub his body?"

There were several times when Nangong Yu was defenseless and wanted to see if Luo Xing would take any action, but Luo Xing acted as if he saw nothing and continued with the things at hand.

Nangong Yu would not be naive enough to think that she was like this. If she really had any purpose, her scheming must be unfathomable.

"Find someone to teach her how to do it."

"Your Majesty? Such an unclear person..."

"It's so unclear that I have to find out the details." Nangong Yu interrupted Jingzhe and said, he felt a little regretful. This turned out to be a dog-skin plaster for himself that he couldn't get rid of. He couldn't find a reason to scold him, and he couldn't find a reason to drive him away.

"I understand." Jingzhe bowed and retreated.

The prince has been learning martial arts since he was young, and there are many masters around him. Since it is useless to make things difficult for him on a daily basis, he can be sent to do other things. If Luo Xing really has any ideas, he should be anxious to find a chance to act.

From an unarmed woman, Luo Xing learned how to wield swords and guns, how to stab a dagger to kill someone with one blow, how to cut the neck so that it would be irreparable, and how to poison someone silently.

After not seeing each other for three years, Nangong Yu was twenty-five years old and Luo Xing was nineteen years old. From then on, she changed her name to Jinxing.

This year, Jinxing accepted his first assassination mission, against a wealthy man.

Jin Xing didn't ask anything. After receiving instructions from Nangong Yu, he checked the terrain and waited until it was dark and windy. He climbed over the wall and found the unlucky official's accommodation. He stabbed the dagger directly into the official's chest. The man died on the spot with his eyes wide open and no time to call for help.

When Jinxing returned with her mission accomplished, the servant stood up to urinate and saw her shadow and called everyone. Jinxing's first mission was both a success and a failure.

Jin Xing wore a human skin mask, and no one recognized her true appearance. She was tied up in the woodshed and tortured for three days. She did not drink a drop of water and had whip marks all over her body, but she still did not reveal a word. In the early morning of the fourth day, the woodshed was empty.

Jin Xing was lying on the bed in the palace's side room with a high fever. The female doctor treated her wounds. Nangong Yu stood outside the door with a complicated expression and said nothing.

A week later, Jin Xing dragged her weak body and knelt in front of Nangong Yu's door.

"What are you doing?"

"I have done my job poorly, please punish me, Your Majesty."

"You did a great job."

"What about the next mission?"

"Let's talk about it after you recover from your injury."

Nangong Yu put his hands behind his back and obviously didn't want to talk about this. Jin Xing got his approval and went back to rest.

Five days later.

"Master, I am well now and can accept new instructions." Jin Xing wanted Nangong Yu to recognize her, trust her, and use her. She was afraid that she was useless, so she went to find Nangong Yu as soon as she was almost well.

Nangong Yu didn't want to see an innocent person get hurt. If Jin Xing really had some purpose that was not excessive, he would help her instead of testing her endlessly.

"Is there anything you'd like to do?"

Jin Xing was slightly stunned. Yes, she wanted to grind that family to ashes. She could wait. She knew that family would die at the hands of Nangong Yu one day, so she just had to wait.

"I will obey the prince."

"The Luo family colluded with foreign nations and sold illegal salt. I wonder what you think."

Jin Xing was stunned again. She was really happy that her rebirth had allowed the prince to find the evidence of the Luo family's crimes earlier. Nangong Yu asked her what she meant? Did he think she would beg for mercy? She answered without hesitation: "Report it directly to the court."

Now it was Nangong Yu's turn to be slightly stunned. Even if Luo Huai favored his concubine and killed his wife, forcing Luo Xing's mother to death, and all the hundreds of people in the Luo family died because of it, she really didn't blink an eye, was the hatred so great?

This woman seemed to be more ruthless than he had imagined, and her eyes were extremely deceptive. If he really stood by her side, she might risk her life for him, using her flesh and blood to pave the way for him, but how could he guarantee that this person would be loyal to him? Was it just because he avenged her mother?

"They are all your flesh and blood."

Jin Xing sneered: "If they have any affection for me, I will not be so desperate about the Luo family. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will only listen to you. If Your Majesty says that their crimes are not punishable by death, I will also accept it."

But I will also investigate secretly and then make the evidence public. By then, other people will decide who is right and who is wrong, and it will have nothing to do with me.

Nangong Yu smiled with relief and said, "There's no rush for this. We have to wait for the right time to lift it up gently and drop it down heavily."

Before that, I still want to see whether you have a fox tail.

Everyone has weaknesses, and with weaknesses come pain points. Even the personal guards who have been with him since childhood may betray him, not to mention someone like Luo Xing who comes out halfway and expresses his loyalty, but cannot find the necessary reasons and cannot find the pain points. He cannot dispel the doubts in his heart.
