Female supremacy: The journey of a pregnant princess to the top

"Lingyue, are you going to find Master Liu?" Wen Yuanzhou frowned slightly.

"Yes, there is finally some news, I have to go and take a look." Jiang Lingyue nodded affirmatively.

Upon hearing this, Wen Yuanzhou and Gu Yuan both showed worried looks on their faces.

Gu Yuan held her hand and said, "My dear wife, I will go with you."

Jiang Lingyue shook her head. "No, you have to stay in the Ninth Princess's Mansion. I'll trouble you to take care of the three children."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, my wife." Gu Yuan looked at her with burning eyes, "I will take good care of the children and not let you distract me."

She then turned to look at Wen Yuanzhou, "Yuanzhou, you need to worry about all the affairs of the Ninth Princess's Mansion. Also, you can't stop hatching the eggs. Thank you for your hard work."

Knowing that he couldn't persuade her, Wen Yuanzhou opened his mouth and sighed softly, "I'm not tired, it's all my job. Lingyue, be careful on your way, I'll wait for you to come back."

"Don't worry, just wait for me in the mansion."

That night, Jiang Lingyue lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, with a lot of thoughts in her mind.

The next day, early in the morning, everything was packed up, and Jiang Lingyue walked out of the Ninth Princess's Mansion with her personal maid Chuntao.

At the gate, Wen Yuanzhou and Gu Yuan stood outside to see her off.

Jiang Lingyue looked at Gu Yuan's body of a ten-year-old, and Wen Yuanzhou's body of a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy. Then she looked at her own body of a nine-year-old little girl after not taking the body-enhancing pill, and she couldn't help but chuckle.

Such a serious scene seemed like children playing house, and the atmosphere of parting was somewhat diluted.

After saying goodbye to the two of them, she and her personal maid Chuntao turned around, got on the carriage, and set off for Brownstone County.

In the carriage, Jiang Lingyue closed her eyes and dozed off.

In addition to finding Liu Xiu Han, she also had a more important thing to do on this trip - to confirm the relationship between Liu Xiu Han and the evil sect.

A few days later, they arrived at Brownstone County. Jiang Lingyue took Chuntao and went straight to the county government office.

Compared with the magnificent government office in the capital, the county government office seems much smaller.

After Jiang Lingyue presented the token to prove her identity, she was quickly led into the inner hall by the bailiff.

As soon as I entered the inner hall, a thin woman in her thirties, wearing the official uniform of a county magistrate, came towards me.

After seeing Jiang Lingyue, she immediately bowed and said, "I am Lu Wen, the Magistrate of Heishi County, and I am here to see Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess."

"No need for formality." Jiang Lingyue raised her hand lightly.

"I wonder what brings Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess here?" Lu Wen stood up and asked Jiang Lingyue.

"I came here to look for someone." Jiang Lingyue gave a vague answer.

"Looking for someone?" Lu Wen's eyes flashed with doubt, "I wonder if I can help you in any way?"

Jiang Lingyue was silent for a moment, then said, "Have you ever seen a young man with a very beautiful appearance, County Magistrate Lu?"

Lu Wen thought, she had seen many handsome men, but she didn't think she had one with a look that the Ninth Princess called absolutely beautiful.

She shook her head. "I have never seen such a handsome man before."

Could the news be wrong? Jiang Lingyue thought to herself.

"However..." Lu Wen changed the subject, "If His Majesty the Ninth Prince can provide a portrait, I can send someone to pay more attention to it."

Jiang Lingyue's eyes lit up, "Okay, take me to the study quickly."

Arriving at the study, Jiang Lingyue quickly drew a picture of Liu Xiu Han based on her memory.

"Thank you for your help, County Magistrate Lu." Jiang Lingyue handed the painting to Lu Wen.

"Princess Nine, you are too polite. This is all my duty."

Lu Wen took the painting, and a look of amazement flashed in his eyes. "There is such a beautiful person in the world. Is this person an old friend of the Ninth Princess?"

Jiang Lingyue nodded gently, "He... He is my concubine, I must find him."

Lu Wen nodded. "In that case, I will do my best. Once there is any news, I will immediately inform Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess."

"Thank you." Jiang Lingyue nodded slightly.

"I wonder if His Highness the Ninth Prince has a place to rest?" Lu Wen asked eagerly.

"Thank you, Magistrate Lu, for your concern. I already have a place to live." Jiang Lingyue replied with a smile.

"That's good." Lu Wen was a little disappointed. "If the Ninth Princess encounters other difficulties in this county, just let me know."

"Yes, I understand." Jiang Lingyue nodded in response.

After leaving the county government office, Jiang Lingyue and Chuntao found a teahouse and went to the private room on the second floor.

"Your Highness, Princess, why do you refuse the county magistrate's offer to arrange accommodation for you?" Chun Tao looked puzzled.

"I have already contacted Elder Fang on the way."

Jiang Lingyue explained, "If the headquarters of the Yinsha Palace is really in Brownstone County, it would be safer to move with Elder Fang, who has a high level of cultivation, than to stay in the post station alone."

Jiang Lingyue picked up the teacup and took a sip, then looked through the window at the bustling crowd in the distance.

"Besides, staying in an inn is too high-profile and might attract attention." She put down the teacup and said lightly.

Chun Tao suddenly realized, "Your Highness is really thoughtful."

Jiang Lingyue raised the corner of her mouth slightly, "Take a short rest and wait for news from Elder Fang."

Not long after, there was a commotion downstairs.

Chuntao hurried downstairs to check and came back after a while.

"Your Highness, several Taoist priests from the Qingxuan Sect have come downstairs, saying that they are here to pick you up on behalf of Elder Fang."

When Jiang Lingyue heard this, she was delighted and got up and went downstairs.

The young female Taoist priest in the lead was none other than Lan Yingqiu, whom he had met several times.

She stepped forward and saluted, "Greetings to Her Highness the Ninth Princess. Elder Fang is outside the city and will be back soon. Please follow me to my residence first."

Jiang Lingyue nodded and followed the people from Qingxuan Sect out of the teahouse.

On the street, a simple horse-drawn carriage was parked on the side of the road.

Jiang Lingyue and Chuntao got on the carriage, and about a cup of tea later, the carriage stopped in front of a secluded house.

The two men got off the carriage. Jiang Lingyue looked around for a moment and found that the entire mansion was covered by several layers of defensive formations.

The formation was extremely mysterious. Even with the 70 years of experience in formations given by the system, she was unable to crack it at this moment.

"Was the formation of this mansion arranged by Elder Fang himself?" Jiang Lingyue asked curiously.

"Yes." Lan Yingqiu replied with a smile, "Elder Fang was afraid that the Ninth Princess would be in danger in Brownstone County, so he specially set up a formation here."

Jiang Lingyue felt warm at heart when she noticed Fang Chengyu's attentiveness.

Lan Yingqiu then pointed across the street and said, "Our disciples from the Qingxuan Sect live in this house."

Elf Yue looked over and saw that the house opposite was equally low-key, and a defensive formation was also set up outside the house.

Entering the house, you will find it is a typical quadrangle courtyard. It is not very big, but it is clean and tidy with a quiet environment.

Jiang Lingyue and Chuntao walked into the room, put down their luggage and took a short rest.

Then I sat on the stone bench under the tree in the courtyard, drinking tea and waiting for someone.

After a while, footsteps were heard at the courtyard gate. Turning around, Fang Chengyu walked in, looking exhausted.

When he saw Jiang Lingyue, he walked towards her with a smile.

"Sister, long time no see."
