Quick Wear: Crazy Female Supporting Role She is Bai Yueguang

Chapter 198: Fake Gold, She is Peerless (30)

Since returning from Qinglong Temple, Shi Qing has thoroughly investigated all the shops under the name of Prince Xian. Among them, many restaurants and teahouses are actually owned by Li Yujin.

However, if the Prince Duan’s Mansion has a lot of income every year, why is Li Yujin always short of money?

Shi Qing carefully recalled the plot of the original story, thinking to himself, "So that's how it is! Li Yujin is actually secretly raising an army and manufacturing weapons. I guess that's where all the money is going."

However, within the imperial court, privately raising an army was a major taboo! This behavior seriously violated the law. Once discovered, the consequences would be disastrous, ranging from severe punishment at the very least to the death penalty or even the execution of the entire family.

So, what did Li Yujin rely on to be so bold and presumptuous?

Could it be that there is a powerful force behind him?

Or perhaps he possesses some unknown secret information? Or... is he himself an ambitious person who seeks to usurp the throne?

All sorts of speculations flooded his mind, causing Shi Qing to fall into deep thought. After all, there were too many conflicts of interest and power struggles involved, and the slightest mistake could lead to disaster.

To solve this mystery, further in-depth investigation is probably needed.

However, all the plots about Li Yujin are locked here, and the only information we know is related to the original plot and Xue Lingqing. But it doesn’t matter, as long as the industry behind Li Yujin is exposed.

Shi Qing went to a cosmetics shop and secretly planted four or five people to keep an eye on the situation nearby and to fight against Li Yujin.

Shi Qing gave Fuling some instructions and told her what to do. Fuling listened carefully to Shi Qing's instructions and said solemnly.

"My lady, I will not disgrace you."

Shi Qing patted her shoulder and said calmly, "There's no need to look so ready to die. It's not that serious. It won't cost you your life."

Fuling's cheeks turned slightly red, and she felt embarrassed. Thinking of the task she was assigned, she quickly got up and left.

Shi Qing bought some medicine on the street and then planned to return home. At this moment, a cold light suddenly appeared beside the carriage, and the sword that suddenly appeared was about to fall on her neck.

She slightly turned sideways, jumped up, kicked the sword of the man in black away, and then stepped on the man in black's chest with a cold expression.

"Tell me, who sent you here!"

The man in black glanced at Shi Qing and was very angry. Didn't the King of Nannan say that the girl from the Xue family was very weak and that he just needed to come and take her blood? How could she be so strong?

No matter how Shi Qing asked, the man in black refused to say a word. Shi Qing did not panic. He tied the man in black to the carriage and then sent him to the Xue family.

The man in black was a little panicked. His identity was exposed, and the prince was probably going to call him a fool. Thinking of this, the man in black quickly begged for mercy.

"Auntie, I'm not a killer. I'm just here to take your blood. I don't intend to hurt the girl..."

Shi Qing pulled off the mask of the man in black, revealing a handsome face. This man looked like someone close to Prince Nannan. Could he have been sent by Prince Nannan?

The corners of Prince Nan'an's mouth twitched while he was hiding in the dark. Great, was he being sold out?

When Shi Qing heard this, she also understood what the man in black meant. It seemed to be the intention of King Nannan, so she simply let the man go and left.

The man in black widened his eyes. Is the girl from the Xue family so easy to talk to?

He clearly felt the murderous aura just now and thought that he would be killed in the next second.

After Shi Qing left, Prince Nan'an, who had been hiding in the dark, showed up. He glanced at the person next to him and said unhappily.

"It's true that they can't do anything good, but they are more likely to cause trouble!"

The man in black curled his lips and said helplessly, "Your Highness, you only said that Miss Xue was weak, but just now, her martial arts skills were so well hidden that I almost lost my life. I don't know where Miss Xue's delicateness is!"

Prince Nan'an stroked his beard and said, "You are naturally delicate and gentle, but you are too incompetent to be able to defeat a little girl."

Man in black: "…"

When Prince Nan'an was wondering how to do the blood test to determine his paternity, the man in black secretly gave him a white porcelain bottle.

"I just took advantage of the chaos and took Miss Xue's blood. She probably didn't notice."

When Prince Nannan heard this, a hint of nervousness appeared on his handsome face.

Speaking of which, ever since he knew that Xue Lingqing might be his daughter who died young, his mood has been very complicated.

He was worried that things would turn out to be untrue, but he was also worried that his expectations would be too high and he would ultimately be disappointed.

However, Xue Lingqing's eyebrows and eyes are very similar to those of the princess back then, not to mention that her personality is somewhat similar to his own.

Chen Shisheng's appearance was ordinary, but just looking at the appearance of his own daughter, one could tell that Xue Lingqing's outstanding appearance was not comparable to that of ordinary people.

He glared at the man in black, but his voice was unconsciously a little nervous. He knew that the outcome of the matter might not be what he wanted.

However, the truth about some things will be revealed sooner or later.

In that case, why not take a gamble? After all, the final outcome of some things is very important to him.

Thinking of this, King Nan'an took out a silver needle and pricked his finger.

The blood slowly flowed down his fingers and mixed with the blood in the bottle.

King Nan'an didn't dare to breathe. He stared at the bottle until his blood and blood became one, and the heavy stone in his heart seemed to fall.

It turns out that Xue Lingqing is really his daughter. What kind of suffering has his daughter endured over the years?

Prince Nannan looked very solemn, thinking about the coming-of-age ceremony. Her daughter was being accused in public. If she was in the Xue family, wouldn't she suffer every day?

In fact, what King Nan'an wanted to know more was the truth: how did the Xue family bring their daughter back to the mansion? What was their purpose?

Thinking of this, he became more and more angry. Over the years, Xue Wenzheng had always been at odds with him in the court. He originally thought it was just a difference in political views, but now it seemed that there was also a bit of guilty conscience involved.

After all, his daughter had stayed in the Xue family for so long, yet she hid herself so deeply. He couldn't wait to know what the connection was.

Prince Nannan did not alert the enemy, as he already knew about Shi Qing and Xie Chengyin's marriage.

So he wrote a letter to his wife at the border, saying that his old friend's son was about to get married and asked her to return to Beijing for a chat.

He planned to meet Xue Lingqing before she got married, but he didn't want Xue Lingqing to have anything to do with the Xue family.

In the past few months, the matter of the real and fake daughter of the Xue family has been a hot topic, and Xue Wenzhen has thrown all the questions to Xue Lingqing.

Rumors are like the wind and water, and the malice in the world is endless.

His daughter didn't have a single day of peace.

The man in black saw that Prince Nan'an was in mixed emotions and hurriedly comforted him.

"As long as the young lady is brought back, we will have a peaceful life from now on."

Prince Nannan had this in mind, but it would be too easy for him to recognize her. He wanted to give his daughter the title of princess and ask for a fiefdom in exchange for the glory he had gained over the years.

Although the Xue family raised Xue Lingqing, they also made her suffer injustice. King Nannan thought that if the child exchange was not done by the Xue family, he would give her some reward and take Xue Lingqing back.

If the Xue family planned everything, he would definitely make them pay the price.

That night, as darkness fell and the lights came on, Prince Nannan walked decisively into the palace gate.

He was anxious and hurried to where Emperor Wen of Zhou was—the Imperial Study. At this moment, the entire palace was immersed in silence, but the Imperial Study was brightly lit, as if foreshadowing that an important conversation was about to begin.

Upon entering the imperial study, Prince Nan'an wasted no time in paying his respects to Emperor Wen of Zhou and stating his purpose: requesting an audience with His Majesty. Upon hearing that Prince Nan'an had arrived so late at night, Emperor Wen of Zhou felt a surge of curiosity and suspicion, but he quickly summoned him nonetheless.

The two men sat opposite each other. Emperor Wen of Zhou looked at King Nan'an and asked, "I wonder what brings you here, brother?" His voice revealed a sense of majesty and inquiry.

Prince Nannan took a deep breath and then answered solemnly: "I came here today to ask Your Majesty to reward someone." His tone was firm and sincere, which made people curious about the person he was asking for help.

Emperor Wen of Zhou frowned slightly, feeling surprised. He knew that the Prince of Nannan was a man of integrity and would never make such a request without a strong reason. So he asked, "Oh? I wonder who you are requesting a title for?"

Emperor Wen of Zhou was secretly thinking, the King of Nannan only had one adopted daughter, could this request for a title be related to her?

If this were true, it would be quite unusual. After all, with the status and position of the Prince of Nannan, it seemed unnecessary to seek a title and reward for his adopted daughter. However, seeing the Prince of Nannan's serious expression, Emperor Wen of Zhou decided to listen to what he had to say next.
