The Virgin Mary in the Book: I Decide My Life with Two Swords

Cang Yue Kingdom - Quezhou - Heavenly Visitor

At noon on the fourth day after Ye Ling arrived in Quezhou, Cai Yang arrived just after lunch. He had the same cold expression as always: "Greetings to the envoy, there's news from Hero Gu. He'll be here on July 7th."

"July 7th, so that's two days from now? Okay, I see. Thank you, Envoy Cai Qian. Actually, if you don't come in person, you can just send someone to tell them."

"You are the envoy. According to the rules, the people below are not qualified to report to you, so they have to be subordinates. This is the rule."

Ye Ling was helpless: "Okay, okay, behave yourself. Sit down. Is the matter of the cavalry army difficult to handle? If it really doesn't work, I'll ask You Ming Lang for help."

"There's nothing the Renzitang can't handle. Don't bother others with your own affairs." Cai Yang sat down and continued, "I've found some clues, but they need to be confirmed."

"Only two days, so fast?" Ye Ling was a little surprised.

"There aren't many brothers in our Renzitang in Quezhou, so this is considered slow. We found out that Yao Qi should have a lover in Chunfengdu, named Jinniang. Although Yao Qi never leaves the barracks on the surface, he often disguises himself to go into the city to visit Jinniang. But we need to investigate whether this clue is true."

"Who did you listen to?"

"A girl from Chunfeng Ferry mentioned that Jinniang from their building was hired out by a wealthy man. This man is skilled in martial arts and has a Beijing accent. His name is Lu Qi. I've thought about it and think it's most likely Yao Qi."

"Lu Qi?" Ye Ling pondered for a moment. "Yao Qi's Qi character is split into two parts, which is Lu Qi. He knows martial arts and speaks with a Beijing accent. Perhaps we can give this Jin Niang a try. Is Chunfeng Ferry a brothel?"

"It's different from the Guiren Mansion. It's a real brothel. I investigated this Jinniang. Her..." Cai Yang paused slightly. Considering Ye Ling's female body, he was a little embarrassed to say it out loud: "Her virginity was bought by Lu Qi. After that, she never received any customers again. She was directly kept by Lu Qi."

Ye Ling nodded: "No matter if it is Yao Qi or not, let's verify this clue first. By the way, you... no, I have to find someone. So, come here to find me at night."

"Yes, Quezhou is in chaos, so you still have to be careful when you go out," Cai Yang reminded.

"Thanks for the reminder. I will be careful. See you tonight."

After Cai Yang left, Ye Ling went out. A quarter of an hour later, she landed beside Black Hawk. "Why are you staying on the roof again? Oh no, why is your prince still here? Is that enough? Are you addicted to acting?"

Black Hawk looked Ye Ling up and down and asked, "How did you get in right under my nose that day?"

"It went in in a flash!" Ye Ling raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"I don't believe it," Black Hawk said confidently, "It's impossible for someone to get in quietly under my nose. Even if your master, Senior Feng, comes, it won't be possible. Tell me, how did you get in?"

"I've told you everything, why are you still asking?" Ye Ling said as he flew down from the roof to the corridor, just in time to run into Xiang Hui. "I need to see your prince. It's important."

"Stop!" Black Hawk also landed and stopped Ye Ling: "Tell me, how did you get in?"

Xiangye quickly spoke up: "Tell me how you made me faint. Look at my neck. There's still a black spot there. It hurts when I touch it. What did you do to me? Will there be any sequelae?"

Ye Ling was speechless: "Are you two going to move aside or not?"

"Today you must explain clearly how you got in that day." Black Hawk was absolutely serious. He had to get to the bottom of this matter, which had become a black history in his career.

"Yes, you also have to explain why I fainted." Xianghui naturally didn't want to give in.

Ye Ling smiled evilly: "I'm so sorry, both of you."

"Do you want to fight with both of us?" Xianghui asked.

Ye Ling stretched out his right index finger and waved it, then suddenly shouted, "Your Highness Prince Wen, help! This is indecent assault, help!"

Black Hawk and Xianghui's pupils trembled. What kind of trick was this? Before the two of them could react, Nangong Che had already opened the door and came out, looking at them with a dark face.

Ye Ling hurried over, looking like a bullied person: "Your Highness, they said that if they want to see you, they have to take off all their clothes for inspection before they can see you. I am a girl, not even married yet. I...I...Your Highness, you have to make the decision!"

Black Hawk was completely stunned, and Xianghui quickly defended himself, "Your Highness, please don't listen to her nonsense. We didn't do that. How could I be that kind of person?"

"Then why are you stopping Ye Sishi?" Nangong Che asked back. He knew in his heart that Ye Ling was talking nonsense, but he still thought it was an interesting performance.

"We..." Xianghui looked at Black Hawk.

"I just asked how Ye Si got in that day." This was the first time Black Hawk encountered such a situation.

"You are not as skilled as others, what do you have to ask? Ye Sishi, go in and talk." Nangong Che said and walked into the room.

Ye Ling smiled provocatively at the two people in the corridor.

This amused Yue Kun, who was watching the fun from the side: "You two almost became hooligans, reflect on yourself!"

Black Hawk closed his eyes in anger: "Isn't she a master? Why... would she use such a trick?"

"She is a master, but she is also a woman, isn't she?" Yue Kun asked with a smile.

After a moment, Yue Kun smiled and poured tea for Ye Ling: "Envoy Ye, please."

Ye Ling looked at Yue Kun carefully, and sighed that there were indeed many handsome men in ancient times! This guy was definitely aesthetically pleasing, and he didn't have a dull expression. She also asked with a smile: "What's your name, little brother?"

"My name is Yue Kun"

"Yue Kun, he's handsome and has a nice name, he's much better than the two outside."

Yue Kun suppressed a laugh: "Thank you for the compliment, Envoy Ye."

"I'm telling the truth. Do you have time tonight? Let's have dinner together. I'll treat you. How about that?" Ye Ling asked with a smile.

"Ah?" Yue Kun was overwhelmed by this direct attitude and looked to Nangong Che for help.

Nangong Che smiled and said, "Why did Envoy Ye come here today? Let's finish our business and then talk about personal matters."

"Okay, first of all, I will duel with Gu Feixiang on July 7th, and Your Majesty, you must fulfill your promise. Second, has anyone seen Yao Qi? Can you give me a portrait of him?"

"First of all, you don't have to worry. Everything is ready and we are just waiting for your victory. Second, Yue Kun has met Yao Qi and he can draw." Nangong Che replied without hesitation.

"Wow!" Ye Ling started to act frivolous again: "Little brother is really amazing, then let's find a place to slowly study the painting problem?"

"You sit with His Highness for a while. I'm going to the next room to paint. I'll be back soon." Yue Kun quickly slipped away.

Ye Ling looked at the man leaving and said, "Your Highness, why is he running? Judging from his appearance, he is definitely not a man who has not experienced the world. This guy has a peach blossom face, so he must be picking flowers everywhere!"

"Empress Ye can see this?"

"When I look at a man, I am always right. I will never make a mistake."

Nangong Che smiled slightly: “Then look at what kind of man this king is?”

Ye Ling smiled. "The prince is the type who is... reserved and reserved. He usually keeps himself clean. It can be said that it's impossible for an iron tree to bloom, right?"

“The Yeshishi really has a sharp eye!” Nangong Che smiled and nodded: “Then what type of man does the Yeshishi like?”

"Well... I don't know yet, but one thing is for sure, I like good-looking ones, and the rest doesn't matter."

“Nothing else matters?” Nangong Che was curious.

"Yes! My man only needs to make me happy, love me and care for me. I will take care of the rest. I will protect him and support him. How about that? He doesn't need a house or money, because I have all these things."

Nangong Che was stunned for a long time without saying a word.

Ye Ling smiled: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, it's just...don't women usually marry based on family background? That way they can have someone to rely on?"

"I don't care about these things. What matters most is whether he can accompany me everywhere and whether he can be obedient, because I think a woman should not belong to anyone, nor own anyone. She should reduce her expectations and live a good life. The road ahead is long and difficult, so she should leave herself to herself. She should have an arrogant personality, a good temper, be able to withstand the storms, stand the lies, and take everything lightly," said Ye Ling.

Nangong Che paused for a moment: "Your ideas are indeed different from other women, but sometimes being strong is not a good thing. Do you plan to keep being so powerful?"

"What else?" Ye Ling was a little puzzled. "Your Highness, I'm not always strong, am I? The best state for a woman: having a man's character and a woman's temperament, being able to love herself and having the ability to love others, being able to act cute and handle maturity, being infatuated to the point of frightening you, being fickle to the point of astonishing you, loving without boundaries, and living a life with self-control. This is what a woman should be like."

"I have learned a lesson today. I really don't know who will win the heart of Ye Sishi in the future," Nangong Che said with a smile.

Ye Ling also smiled: "This is not easy. Unless I want to, no one can seduce me. If I don't like him, even if he pulls out my oxygen tank and pushes open the lid of my coffin, I won't even look at you."

"Oxygen tank? What is it?" Nangong Che was curious.

"Just a decoration," Ye Ling replied perfunctorily.

Nangong Che did not ask any more questions: "Why does Ye Sishi have such unusual thoughts?"

"Well..." Ye Ling pondered for a moment, "Your Highness, have you ever heard of this saying: A woman who has seen the world doesn't trust men; a man who has seen the world has no shortage of women; a man who has seen the world only loves one woman; a woman who has seen the world only loves herself."

"I understand, my king. Ye Sishi is a woman who has seen the world, so you only love yourself, right?"

"Yes, I only love myself. As for other people, they are just passing by, like smoke and clouds that will disappear at any time."

"The past is like smoke, passing clouds, and smoke." Nangong Che suddenly felt sad: "How many days and nights, how many cold words, if you have not experienced it, how can you know the difficulties and dangers of the world? Ye Ling, do you think that the king is insidious and cunning?"

Ye Ling shook her head without hesitation. This was a life-threatening question. Fortunately, she knew how to answer it: "Don't advise others to be kind without experiencing their suffering. If you had experienced my suffering, you might not be as kind as I am!"
