"Second Miss, I'm so sorry! I misunderstood you and the Regent."

In the tea room, Ye Tianxing awkwardly and embarrassedly apologized to Jiang Ling.

Jiang Ling glanced at him coldly and indifferently, then picked up a plate of pastries and began to eat. Exorcising evil spirits and drawing talismans was also hard work, and Jiang Ling was hungry after working for a while, so she ate a plate of pastries to fill her stomach first.

I must say, the pastries at the Regent's Palace were delicious.

"Second Miss." Ye Tianxing shifted his position closer, his eyes fixed on her like an enthusiastic, energetic puppy. He was practically ready to pounce on her.

Jiang Ling gave him a warning look, "Speak your mind."

"Second Miss! How did you do that? Even my master, the Imperial Advisor, couldn't do anything about the Regent's curse. My master even said that once the curse takes effect, anyone who gets close will die! And yet you're unharmed! You even suppressed the curse!"

"Second Miss, how did you do that? I know all the famous celestial masters in the world. You are so amazing, yet you have no fame at all. Did you really learn your esoteric skills from the Judge?"

"What do the judges of the underworld look like? Are they blue-faced and fanged, with three heads and six arms?"

Ye Tianxing opened her mouth and began to talk non-stop, becoming more and more excited as she spoke. She couldn't help but move closer to Jiang Ling, her eyes burning with passion.

Jiang Ling wondered whether she should slap the empty plate on Ye Tianxing's face.

"Night! Sky! Star!" A cold and majestic voice, as cold as a thousand-year-old ice, rang out, making Night Sky Star shiver and turn his head, immediately jumping back three steps.

Ye Tianxing shrank back in awe. "Regent, you've arrived."

Murong Yan's phoenix eyes swept coldly over him, and he snorted indifferently. If he didn't come soon, Ye Tianxing would be clinging to Jiang Ling!

He went downstairs to wash up, changed his clothes, and transformed back into that aloof and devilishly handsome man, exuding the innate nobility of a prince. His imposing and icy aura, along with his powerful kingly authority, made people dare not look him in the eye.

But when his phoenix eyes looked at Jiang Ling, his aura softened, and he became more approachable and friendly.

Murong Yan smiled slightly, the red mole at the corner of his eye alluring and seductive. He gestured, and Nan Zhu and Bei Yan immediately carried two wooden boxes to Jiang Ling. The lids were opened, and a dazzling golden light illuminated the room.

Two boxes of gold bricks illuminated the humble house, making it shine.

Murong Yan: "Jiang Ling, thank you for saving my life. Please accept this gift as a token of my gratitude."

"And me?" Ye Tianxing's mouth watered as he boasted, "Your Highness, I, the steward, have been busy all night. Even if I haven't done anything outstanding, I've certainly put in the effort!"

Murong Yan shot him a cold, fierce look, and Ye Tianxing immediately shut up.

Murong Yan continued to look at Jiang Ling, explaining in a friendly tone, "If you find gold too vulgar, why don't you tell me what you like? I can cater to your tastes."

Jiang Ling shook her head. "No need, the gold is fine! But didn't you say that the money for the medicine would cover the cost of treating my leg?"

"One thing at a time. If it weren't for you tonight, I wouldn't be alive tomorrow. Please accept this!"

"Very well, Regent!"

Jiang Ling smiled and opened the leather pouch, gesturing, "Gentlemen, just pour it in."

Nan Zhu and Bei Yan exchanged a glance, then hesitantly poured the two heavy boxes of gold bricks into the treasure bag. The treasure bag looked only the size of a palm, but after pouring in the two boxes of gold bricks, the bag didn't grow an inch larger.

so amazing!

Ye Tianxing recognized its value and let out an excited scream: "This is the treasure bag recorded in ancient books! It's made from the hide of a bull demon and imbued with spatial talismans. My master made it for me, and it can only hold the contents of one box. Second Miss, yours is huge! Do you have any more? Are you selling them?"

"Yes, it costs two thousand taels of silver each and can hold two boxes." Jiang Ling tied the treasure bag back to her belt.

Her magic bag could hold the contents of three rooms, but the materials were expensive, so she didn't sell it. However, Jiang Ling would accept any business opportunity, whether it was making small magic bags for fun or simply earning money.

Ye Tianxing searched his pockets and found only three hundred taels of silver. He looked at Murong Yan with pleading eyes and asked, "Your Highness, can I borrow some money?"

Murong Yan: "..."

Murong Yan's eyes were icy cold, as if he wanted to tear him to pieces. Why was he talking so much? Jiang Ling was too busy talking to him.

Ye Tianxing shrank back. "If you don't want to lend it, then don't. Why are you being so fierce? Second Miss, I'll bring the money to the Marquis of Zhongyi's mansion tomorrow to buy one from you, okay? Please, please save one for me!"

Jiang Ling nodded, "Okay."

"Nanzhu, give me the money!" Murong Yan clenched his fist.

"Thank you, Regent!" Ye Tianxing was overjoyed and bought a leather treasure bag from Jiang Ling for two thousand taels of silver.

Jiang Ling made another fortune, her eyes crinkling with joy, she was in a good mood.

Seeing this, Murong Yan pushed the wheelchair forward and said, "Jiang Ling, are there any more? I'd like to buy one too."

"Regent, you don't need to buy anything. The jade thumb ring on your hand is a treasure as well, not much less valuable than my magic bag. It's almost dawn, and I need to get back before Zai Zai and Grandpa wake up. Goodbye! No need to see me off!"

Jiang Ling took out a teleportation talisman and disappeared in a second.

This miraculous skill left Nan Zhu speechless, her jaw agape.

Ye Tianxing's eyes lit up as she fondled the treasure bag, muttering, "Now I believe that the Second Miss learned her skills from the Judge. Even if a Celestial Master had such expensive and rare talismans, he wouldn't be willing to use them."

"Ye Tianxing, how is the matter I entrusted to you progressing?" Murong Yan's majestic and ruthless phoenix eyes swept over Ye Tianxing.

Ye Tianxing immediately tensed his back and revealed the runes on his right palm.

He whispered, "Upon my examination, the Second Miss's spiritual power and the talisman on Your Highness's body are of the same origin. They were created by the same person!"

Murong Yan curled the corners of his lips, not surprised at all.

His intuition, his heart, had already given him the answer.

Ye Tianxing scratched his head, puzzled, and asked, "Your Highness, the reason you have lost your memories should also be because of her. Master said that only she herself can unlock the secret. Why don't you just ask her directly?"

"No one is to utter a single word about what happened tonight. Anyone who does so will be severely punished!"

Nan Zhu and Bei Yan bowed their heads and accepted the order.

Ye Tianxing, feeling the cold, dangerous gaze of Murong Yan, wisely made a gesture to shut his mouth. But inside, he felt an itch like a cat was scratching him. Why?

Even after returning to the Imperial Observatory, Ye Tianxing still couldn't figure it out.

Amidst the commotion ahead, Ye Tianxing looked up and saw it was the Empress's men. His eyes darted around, and he secretly took out a listening talisman and flew over. "Grand Preceptor, this is my order! Please act immediately!"

The Imperial Advisor sighed in an aged voice, "Your Majesty, stealing someone's life will surely incur divine retribution!"

"Imperial Advisor, what are you pretending to me for? You've stolen people's lives before! Besides, you were the one who said my son must marry the second young lady of the Marquis of Zhongyi's mansion in order to ascend the throne smoothly! That Jiang Lingqi is incredibly ugly, a slut, and her bastard child is already two years old. She's not even worthy of warming my son's bed!"

The Empress was furious, her attitude domineering and brooking no disobedience: "My son wants to marry Wang Wanyue! Imperial Advisor, I order you to replace Jiang Ling's destiny with Wang Wanyue's!"

"Also, that ugly hag Jiang Ling offended my son, kill her!"
