I traveled through time with my best friend.

Li Lingxuan looked out the window and saw Hongying had already climbed in from the window. She was looking at him with her hands clasped together and a smile on her face.

"What are you doing here?" Li Lingxuan frowned slightly.

"Why is your Highness so impatient every time he sees me? It makes Hongying very sad."

Li Lingxuan looked at Mu Qi and said coldly, "Go down."

Muqi's eyes turned surprised after hearing this. Hongying walked up to Muqi and said, "Muqi, your prince has already spared you. Why don't you leave quickly? Are you waiting for him to change his mind?"

Mu Qi immediately picked up the knife, stood up and said to Li Lingxuan respectfully: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me. I will definitely..."

"Okay, let's go." Hongying took out a bottle of medicine from her bosom and handed it to Muqi, saying, "This is the best wound medicine. You must not disfigure such a beautiful face."

Muqi took the medicine gratefully, glanced at Hongying and quickly walked out.

Li Lingxuan sat back in his chair, looked at Hongying and said, "If you like Muqi, I will allow you to bring him back to Fengyun Tower?"

Hongying looked at Li Lingxuan's expressionless face, then walked calmly to Li Lingxuan, bent down and approached Li Lingxuan, "Your Highness, are you...jealous?"

"What a joke." Li Lingxuan did not comment.

Hongying raised her lips, and then said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the one I have always liked is you, how can I have room for anyone else in my eyes?"

Li Lingxuan leaned back, no longer looking at Hongying, and said with his eyes closed: "Let's talk about business."

Hongying straightened up, then sat on the chair next to her, putting one foot on the seat, as casually as possible.

"I came here this time to thank the prince for reminding me last time that there are indeed people with two minds in Fengyun Tower."

"You're welcome."

Hongying continued, "I came here this time because I want to discuss something with you."

When Li Lingxuan heard Bu Hongying say that there was something important, he slowly opened his eyes, turned the bodhi beads in his hand and whispered, "Speak."

Hongying looked at Li Lingxuan's almost charming face. How could she make this man belong to her completely? At this moment, Hongying had only this one thought in her mind.

Knock, knock, knock... Li Lingxuan knocked on the table, and Hongying came back to her senses.

Hongying shook her head slightly, and then said, "I wonder if Your Majesty has ever heard of the Wuji Pearl?"

Li Lingxuan looked at Hongying expressionlessly and said, "I've heard a little bit about it."

"The Wuji Pearl was what my father exchanged his life for, but now it has been stolen. Hongying would like to ask the prince for help to help me find the Wuji Pearl."

"Hmph, although I don't know everything about the Wuji Pearl, I also know how the Wuji Pearl came to your Fengyun Tower. How come it is yours now?"

A dark light flashed in Hongying's eyes. "The Wuji Pearl was bought with my father's life. Without the pearl, there would be no Fengyun Tower today. And if there was no Fengyun Tower, how could the prince develop his power secretly over the years?"

Li Lingxuan laughed disdainfully, "Do you think that I can only rely on Fengyun Tower?"

Hongying's smile immediately disappeared from her face, "What does your lordship mean?"

"Hongying, Fengyun Tower is indeed very important to me, but you must remember that it was me who chose Fengyun Tower, not you who chose me. If I want to... I can crush you to death at any time."

Hongying's pupils shrank suddenly. Seeing Li Lingxuan's powerful aura, she felt a little panicked. Was this still the boy she had rescued from the drug den? How could he become so cunning after so many years?

Hongying's eyes turned dangerous. She stood up and looked at Li Lingxuan and said, "You already knew that the whereabouts of the Wuji Pearl is unknown. Fengyun Tower has always been in your sight?"

Li Lingxuan raised the corners of his mouth wickedly, "Don't worry, your father has done me a favor, I will not touch Fengyun Tower."

"Do you know my father?" Hongying asked in surprise.

"By some strange coincidence, your father also saved me."

Hongying clenched her fists at her sides and laughed at herself in her heart. It turned out that Li Lingxuan had been indulging her like this not because of how important she was in his heart, but because of her father?

Haha, this is so funny. She actually thought that Li Lingxuan would like her?

Hongying looked at Li Lingxuan with slightly red eyes, and then laughed, "Now that we have come to the point, let's be frank. If you find the Wuji Pearl, I can hand over Fengyun Tower to you, but I have a condition."

"What conditions?"

"If you ever ascend to the highest position, I will stand shoulder to shoulder with you."

Hongying’s meaning was very clear, she wanted to be the queen.

Li Lingxuan looked at Hongying with interest, "How can you be sure that I can take that position?"

"Even if I'm stupid, I can see what the prince has been planning over the years. I'm afraid most of the court officials are your people, and the queen mother's every move is under your control. You've been hesitant to take action because you want to uproot the queen mother's power."

"You are quite smart."

"So, my Lord, if you want to force Fengyun Tower to belong to you, then I will not let it serve you even if I try my best to destroy it."

Li Lingxuan looked at Hongying with a sharp look in his eyes. He shook the bodhi beads in his hand, thought for a moment, looked at Hongying and said, "Okay, I promise you."

"Really?" Hongying became excited after hearing this.

Li Lingxuan said indifferently: "If you want it, I will give it to you."

Hongying felt happy. Fengyun Tower was now in the hands of Li Lingxuan. Moreover, her father had said before his death that if Fengyun Tower was to change its owner, it could only be Li Lingxuan.

That's why Hongying risked her own life to rescue Li Lingxuan from the drug den.

Now it is unclear who has schemed against whom, but in Hongying's opinion, she is the winner.

After discussing the follow-up matters with Li Lingxuan, Hongying left. When leaving the palace, she made a detour to visit Muqi.

Mu Qi was applying medicine to himself in front of a bronze mirror with his upper body naked. Hongying looked over through the crack in the door.

Mu Qi felt someone staring at him, and immediately threw the towel in his hand towards the door.

"Who? Come out?"

The towel hit the door, and Hongying pushed the door open and stood at the door. Muqi was surprised to see that it was Hongying, and then immediately picked up his inner clothes and put them on.

"How did you come?"

Hongying walked in and asked, "Why, can't I come?"

Muqi put on his clothes and stood up, "That's not what I meant..."

Hongying walked to Muqi with a smile, then pressed Muqi down with one hand, looked down at him and said, "Your back was badly injured just now, can I help you apply medicine?"

After hearing this, Mu Qi shook his head decisively and said, "No, I can do it myself."

"You're welcome." Hongying said as she quickly picked up the medicine next to her and reached out to tear off Muqi's clothes.
