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

Cang Yue Kingdom - Nanlai - Posthouse

After being scolded by Xue Jingchuan, Meng Shishi returned to her room, crying loudly and blaming Ye Ling for all the sins.

"Miss," a maid hurried in. "I heard that many dead bodies were found outside the city. They were all assassins from the underworld. I think it's very likely that they are ours."

Meng Shishi stopped crying immediately, and was panicking inside: "Did Senior Brother go to see the body?"

"I don't know"

"He must have seen it, otherwise he wouldn't be so angry."

"Miss, what should we do? The master will know about this matter soon."

"How should I know what to do? It's all that bitch Ye Ling's fault, not hers. How could I have made a mistake?" Meng Shishi directly blamed Ye Ling and didn't think it was her own problem.

Inside the main house, Nangong Chen and Xue Jingchuan were silent for a long moment before Xue Jingchuan spoke again, "Let me tell you what I'm most worried about. I'm afraid Ye Ling will think this has something to do with you and me. That would be troublesome. After all, she's from Phoenix Mountain, and it's hard to explain! Furthermore, she intentionally put away her badge. Given her personality, if she didn't suspect us, she would definitely come here with the badge to question us, but now she's pretending nothing happened."

"It is said that happiness can be shown on one's face, but you can look at Ye Ling, and never judge by appearances," said Nangong Chen.

"I mean she might think we're involved."

"What is pure will become clear by itself, and what is turbid will become turbid by itself."

"Okay, okay, you are the prince, you have the final say, I'm leaving."

"Wait for her to receive the order. Keep an eye on her and don't let her come into direct conflict with the emperor." Nangong Chen was afraid that Ye Ling would kill Nangong Xuan with a knife, which would be troublesome.

"Okay," Xue Jingchuan responded. The two of them stopped talking, each with their own thoughts.

At this moment, Ye Ling had already gone out to the street. She walked very slowly, looking here and there, looking at this and that, just like an ordinary person shopping. Feeling someone was staring at her, she turned here and there, went into an alley, and then suddenly entered the space.

"Master/Miss" Mengmeng and Jiuyou said in unison.

"Shh!" Ye Ling said quickly, "Mengmeng, you can feel outside and see if they are following us."

"coming"

Ye Ling curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and instantly went out and stood behind the two of them.

The two stalkers turned around at the same time. Without saying a word, Ye Ling pinched one of them with one hand and broke the other's neck with a little internal force.

Ye Ling let go, and the two people who were following him fell to the ground at the same time, and just like that, he said goodbye to life.

Ye Ling searched the person as usual, took out the two tags, put them into the space, and then left the alley without anyone noticing.

The streets were still bustling with people. Meng Meng spoke up, "Master, Jiuyou said it was a waist badge from the Crown Prince's Mansion."

Ye Ling thought to herself: I know, collect all these signs, I want to see how many forces want to kill me.

"I see. Are you going to receive the order now?"

"Shut up first." Ye Ling looked at a tea stall not far away.

There was a man at the tea stall. He was wearing a black veil that exposed his face, half of his face was covered, and he was wearing a coarse linen robe. There was a long sword on the table in front of him. He was dressed like a chivalrous man and was drinking tea slowly.

Ye Ling recognized him as the beggar man at a glance, and he was quite obedient and changed his identity.

The man suddenly stood up, put two cents on the table, picked up the knife and left.

Ye Ling walked over slowly, sat down at the man's seat, took out a piece of paper from under the tea bowl, and then said, "Boss, a cup of tea."

"Here you are, please sit down for a moment, young lady," the tea stall owner responded.

Ye Ling took a symbolic sip of tea. It wasn't that she was picky, it was just awful. She put down two cents, stood up, walked into an alley, found a deserted place, and instantly entered the space.

"Master" Meng Meng flew over to greet him: "Jiuyou is practicing sword."

Inside the training room, Jiuyou was only wearing his inner clothes, practicing swordplay with full concentration. His faintly visible abdominal muscles were dripping with sweat, and the scene was breathtakingly beautiful.

Ye Ling folded his arms over his chest and sat on the stool by the door. He looked at her with a sly smile and spoke to Meng Meng in his heart: "Meng Meng, you're going to be so lucky! Tell me, should I keep Jiu You in this space as my boyfriend for the rest of my life?" This guy really has something to offer. How do you say that? He looks thin when he's dressed, but he's got a lot of meat when he's undressed.

"Miss?" Jiuyou was surprised: "When did you come in? Why didn't I notice it at all?"

"This is my space. I can make you unconscious. Seeing you are sweating all over, go take a shower. Do you know how to use the shower?" Ye Ling said with a wicked smile.

"I can...I can use it, you..."

"Don't worry, I won't peek. If I really want to see, I will do it openly." Ye Ling smiled and left.

Jiuyou's face turned red involuntarily. He hurried back to his room and took a cold shower with a modern shower. Then he changed his inner clothes and put on his outer clothes before coming out.

"So fast!" Ye Ling ate some dried fruit and said, "Come here, sit on the sofa, and I'll show you this note."

"Miss Xie" Jiuyou sat on the sofa and opened the note, which read: Tonight we will be at the Noble House, please choose your seat.

"How is it? Do you recognize the handwriting?"

"I don't know him. I feel like he wrote it very neatly on purpose. Miss, he used your name, so he must be Ye Shuai's man, maybe Captain An Kui." Jiuyou was very excited.

"We'll find out tonight. He chose a good place. On the one hand, the Guiren Pavilion is full of people of all kinds, so it won't arouse suspicion. On the other hand, no one dares to follow him there. Youminglang is famous for his solitary personality."

"Miss, you are right. Then... when will I...?"

"Don't worry, I will let you out to meet him."

"Okay." Jiuyou looked down at the note again.

"Are you bored here?" Ye Ling asked.

"It's not boring at all. You know, I'm used to being alone. Ever since I left the border army, I've been alone. Now I can always be with the young lady. I'm very happy. Moreover, these books are very interesting. I read them when I have free time. I benefit a lot from them."

"Of course not. Some of these are what my father read when he was young, some were given to me by my grandfather, and some are storybooks and folk tales I bought on the street. I'm glad you're not bored. I feel at ease with you in this space. If anything urgent happens, I have someone I can trust to help."

After hearing Ye Ling's words, Jiu You's happiness was self-evident: "Miss, don't worry, I will always be here. I like this space very much because I can be by your side anytime and anywhere."

"Thank you, Jiuyou!" Ye Ling smiled slightly: "By the way, you can help me organize the warehouse when you are free."

Ye Ling walked to the door of the storeroom and unlocked it with his fingerprint. "If you want to go in, ask Meng Meng to open it for you. Inside are all the things sent from the Ye Mansion. I've only sorted out one-fifth of them. Look at these shelves and classify everything. This is the gold area, this is the silver area, and so on. There are classification types written by me on them. Take the silver area for example. The top one has whole ingots, and below it are small pieces. The smaller they are as you go down. The banknotes are over here. Find them yourself. If you don't know, ask Meng Meng. It knows everything."

"That's it" Mengmeng was very proud.

"Miss, this... is your property after all. It would be inappropriate for me to sort it out, right?"

"What's wrong with that? You are all kept in my space, so what should I be afraid of? Besides, even if we are outside, I still trust you, Jiuyou. Helping you to sort things out is just a way to pass the time," said Ye Ling. She was really not afraid of Jiuyou taking anything. People like him would never steal or cheat.

Seeing Ye Ling letting him tidy up the warehouse, Jiu You was touched and happy: "Miss, thank you for your trust. I... can't express my gratitude enough."

"That's all for now. You don't have to rush to finish it. Just do it a little bit every day. As for me, I'm going to the post station to receive the annoying imperial edict. Then it's almost dark, and it's time to go to the Guiren Pavilion to keep an appointment. Bye~" After Ye Ling finished speaking, a flash of light disappeared.

Jiuyou took a long time to come back to his senses. He saw that he had only sorted out less than one-fifth of the things. He could be considered to have done something to kill time. It would take at least ten days to finish the job. After all, he had to take out each item and classify them. He started to organize them immediately.

Ye Ling left the space and continued to walk and stop along the way. She arrived at the inn at 3 p.m.

The imperial guards at the gate recognized Ye Ling and immediately bowed, "Greetings, Princess."

"You've changed your mind already? Then can I come in?"

"Of course," Xue Jingchuan came out with a smile.

"Can't you be busy?"

"Yes, but no matter how busy I am, I have to accompany you to receive the imperial edict. Let's go, I will take you to see King Wen."

The two of them walked and talked, and soon came to the gate of a courtyard. Ye Ling said, "Jingchuan, you don't have to go in, so you don't have to kneel down with me and wait at the gate."

"It's okay. I don't like to accompany others, but I am willing to accompany you. Let's go!" Xue Jingchuan said with a smile.

"Princess Jingqi, Young Master Xue, come with us," a eunuch greeted them at the door.

The two followed their father-in-law to the main house, where Nangong Che was sitting on the bed, looking pale and feeling very bad.

"Greetings to His Majesty King Wen," they both bowed and said in unison.

"No need to be so polite, Xianghui, give the imperial edict to the princess. I am not feeling well, so I will not read it out. Anyway, my father has already announced it to the world." Nangong Chen's voice was very weak.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Ye Ling took the imperial edict with both hands. He didn't have to kneel, which was very refreshing.

"Your Highness is tired from the long journey and his old illness has relapsed. I and the princess will not disturb you while you recuperate," said Xue Jingchuan.

“That’s not a big deal. I think the princess is very approachable. I wonder if we can chat alone for a while, cough cough…” Nangong Che said and coughed a few more times.

Ye Ling looked at Xue Jingchuan with a helpless look on his face.

Xue Jingchuan bowed helplessly: "Then I will leave first, you talk to the princess."

As soon as Xue Jingchuan left, Xianghui brought a stool over: "Princess, please sit down."

Ye Ling sat down reluctantly, looking at the man who was about to die, and said, "Your Majesty, please tell me what's the matter."

"Is the princess busy? Ahem..."

"a little bit"

"I just feel lonely and bored, so I want to chat with the princess for a while."

“I’m not very good at talking.”

"There is probably only one such heroine in the world today. I have been weak and sickly since childhood and missed the opportunity to learn martial arts. I really envy those who know martial arts."

"I was forced to do this to survive! There was no other way," Ye Ling replied perfunctorily.
