The Evil King's Favorite: The Princess Is Too Cruel

After Su Qingning once again took out a batch of medicines and asked the Seven Star Auction House to send them for auction, she mentioned the real purpose of her trip.

She took out the list of medicinal herbs she had prepared early in the morning and handed it to Xie Yichen, requesting, "Third brother, I'd like to ask your Seven Star Auction House to help me buy some medicinal herbs. Spirit coins are not a problem, just deduct the spirit coins from the auction of potions. If it's not enough, I'll bring some more potions to auction next time."

"Oh, why are you and I talking about money? It hurts our relationship. It's just some herbs. Third brother is giving them to me..." Xie Yichen's words got stuck in his throat before he could finish them. He looked at the list of herbs that Su Qingning handed over, swallowed silently, and his eyes widened. "This... is so much?!"

There was a square piece of letter paper with hundreds of medicinal herbs listed densely.

These herbs are exactly what are needed to prepare the purification potion; now the Su family is temporarily safe for Su Qingning's family, so Su Qingning plans to start preparing to purify the demonic energy in Yun Ruopiao's sea of ​​consciousness.

However, it was difficult for her to find more than a hundred kinds of medicinal herbs by herself, and it would take too much time. So, after some thought, Su Qingning decided to let the Seven Star Auction House help her collect the herbs. This would save a lot of time, and she could concentrate on practicing and doing other things.

"Third brother, these medicinal herbs are very important to me. Please help me keep an eye on them at the Seven Star Auction House." Su Qingning asked again.

"Okay, I'll arrange someone to help you find and buy it." Xie Yichen nodded. This time he didn't mention Su Qingning's words about giving the herbs away. After all, he was essentially a profiteer and never did business at a loss.

"Thank you, Third Brother." Su Qingning thanked him sincerely.

Afterwards, Su Qingning had lunch with Xie Yichen again. The two of them stayed together for a while before separating.

……

At that time, Mo Lintian waited for Su Qingning in Jinyuan for the whole morning, but she didn't come back, which made him feel a little panicked.

"Is Xiao Ning'er deliberately avoiding me and refusing to see me?" Mo Lintian murmured in a low voice, looking a little depressed.

Su Qingyu, who was playing nearby, noticed Mo Lintian's depressed mood. He thought that as the owner of Jinyuan, he should take good care of the guests, so he slowly walked to Mo Lintian's side.

"Brother~" Su Qingyu gently tugged at Mo Lintian's sleeve. He tilted his head back, a hint of concern on his cute little face. "Brother, what's wrong with you? Are you sad?"

Mo Lintian looked down at Su Qingyu. He always disliked being touched by others, but he didn't even wave away the hand that was grabbing his sleeve.

Maybe it was because he loved Su Qingyu so much that he also loved her! Mo Lintian also treated Su Qingyu as his own brother.

"Yeah, a little." Mo Lintian nodded and admitted that he was a little sad at the moment.

"Why are you sad, brother? Did someone bully you?" Su Qingyu asked again.

Hearing this, Mo Lintian chuckled softly. He raised his hand and rubbed Su Qingyu's head, saying, "No one bullied me, it's just..."

"Your sister ignored me, and I felt a little sad."

As he spoke, Mo Lintian raised his head and looked towards the courtyard gate. Unfortunately, he still didn't see the familiar figure. The light in his eyes gradually dimmed, and he couldn't help feeling a little lost in his heart.

"Ah?" Su Qingyu tilted her head, a bewildered expression on her face. "Brother, why is sister ignoring you? Did you make her angry?"

"Yeah." Mo Lintian nodded, a trace of annoyance and regret flashing across his face. "I was so self-righteous and didn't want to worry your sister, so I hid something from her. When she found out, she got angry with me."

"Oh, I see!" Su Qingyu nodded. He touched his chin with one hand like a little adult, pretending to be thoughtful. "Brother, although it was wrong for you to hide this from my sister, your original intention was for my sister's good, so it's not unforgivable."

"So, brother, don't be sad. When I come back, I will speak well of you." Su Qingyu promised.

Hearing this, Mo Lintian smiled. He rubbed Su Qingyu's head again and said with a smile: "Thank you, brother Xiaoyu. Whether your sister can forgive me depends entirely on you."

"Don't worry, brother. I will definitely make my sister forgive you." Su Qingyu patted his chest and promised.

With Su Qingyu's help, Mo Lintian suddenly became more confident in seeking Su Qingning's forgiveness.

It’s a pity that he was destined not to see Su Qingning today; because, not long after, Eunuch Wu came to find him.

"Oh! Your Highness, I finally found you."

Eunuch Wu raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his head with his wide sleeves. God knows how anxious he was when he went to the Prince Lin's Mansion and didn't find Mo Lintian. Fortunately, the housekeeper of the Prince Lin's Mansion told him that Mo Lintian had come to the Su family, otherwise, he wouldn't know where to look for him.

Mo Lintian was a little surprised to see Eunuch Wu. He asked in confusion, "Eunuch Wu, why are you here?"

Eunuch Wu took a deep breath before answering, "Your Highness, I'm here to look for you. The Emperor has summoned you to the palace!"

"Enter the palace?" Mo Lintian frowned and asked, "What happened? Why did my brother suddenly summon me to the palace?"

Eunuch Wu glanced at the other people in Jinyuan, his expression as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Mo Lintian understood. He didn't do anything, but just used his eyes to signal Eunuch Wu to come closer.

Eunuch Wu has served the emperor for so many years, and I dare not say much about other things, but he still has the ability to read people's faces.

Eunuch Wu walked to Mo Lintian's side, then bent down and whispered in Mo Lintian's ear: "Your Highness, someone from the Tiandao Sect has arrived. The Emperor requests that you enter the palace to discuss countermeasures."

Tiandao Sect? !

Mo Lintian's brows furrowed even tighter. Why would someone from the Tiandao Sect suddenly come to the imperial capital at this time? Could it be because...

The auction at the Seven Star Auction House four months ago came to my mind.

After the auction ended that night, a self-explosion occurred on the outskirts of the vast mountains outside the imperial capital, and the protagonist of the self-explosion was a disciple of the Tiandao Sect.

The sudden arrival of people from the Tiandao Sect made Mo Lintian inevitably connect the two things together. Although that incident had happened four months ago, no one could guarantee whether the Tiandao Sect would find out anything.

Mo Lintian was a little worried. Although Yu Hui's self-explosion had nothing to do with them, he and the heirs of the five major families were present at the scene that night. Moreover, Yun Ning was Xie Yichen's sworn brother. If the Tiandao Sect really found out something, they would probably vent their anger on the Longteng Empire.

Although the Demonic Martial Continent is now the Dragon Empire, with the five major families and the Tiandao Sect in a three-way balance of power; but there are countless powerful people above the god level in the Tiandao Sect; if they really make an attack, the Dragon Empire may not be able to resist.
