The number one spendthrift woman in the capital actually brings glory to her entire family?

Sikong Jin kept glancing at Di Beizun without making a sound, the scenes from last night flashing through her mind. For a long time, Di Beizun did not utter a sound. His pale face had regained some color because he had just taken the Qi Condensation Pill. When he thought about his naked body under the covers, a rare hint of shame and annoyance flashed in Sikong Jin's eyes.

Their gazes clashed for a moment, and in the end, Lady Sikong was the first to give in. Without any pretense, she said angrily, "You have to take responsibility for me."

As she spoke, Lord Sikong glanced down at herself, then looked up at Di Beizun. A faint blush rose on her beautiful, fair face. When she saw Di Beizun's gaze flash, she immediately buried her head in the quilt again, looking like a shy and reserved young girl.

Di Beizun paused slightly, a strange expression flashing across his cold and beautiful face. He stared at Sikong Jin for a long time before striding towards her, saying casually, "Can't you think of something else? I changed your clothes."

Upon hearing this, Lord Sikong was stunned. After a moment of silence, he looked down at his exposed skin and then looked up at Di Beizun's indifferent expression. He immediately flew into a rage, kicked off the covers, jumped off the bed, and said indignantly, "What did you say? You didn't change my clothes? Then who did? Who did?"

Emperor Beizun frowned slightly and remained silent.

"I'm asking you a question. Who did you have change it for me?"

All of Sikong Jin's reserve and shyness vanished instantly, her face darkening. A sharp pain shot through her head, as if a bomb had suddenly exploded inside. "Emperor Beizun, I think you should understand how important this secret is to me. What do you think I've held onto for so long? If it weren't for this secret, why would I have made myself so pathetic, why would I have sacrificed my reputation? I, Sikong Jin, have never trusted anyone. After everything that's happened, I thought..."

Di Beizun looked at Sikong Jin's delicate and defeated face for a long time before suddenly raising his hand and handing over the clothes in his hand. His tone softened, "I remember that when I brought you back here, you were still somewhat lucid."

Upon hearing this, fragmented memories began to flash through Sikong Jin's mind...

then……

It seemed as if she had inexplicably removed her wet clothes, and then...

And then I have no recollection of it...

"You already knew my identity, didn't you?"

Sikong Jin hurriedly changed into her robes, her long hair flowing freely, and strode over to sit down on the couch next to Emperor Beizun, her expression shifting between light and dark.

Di Beizun glanced at her, raised his hand to pour tea, and did not answer.

Sikong Jin gritted her teeth in hatred, glared at him coldly, snorted angrily, turned her head away, and said furiously, "Emperor Bei Zun, I already thought I was despicable enough, but I didn't expect you to be even more despicable, shameless, cunning, and treacherous! You probably anticipated that I would make a move, deliberately making things convenient for me and using me as a pawn, you despicable villain!"

She said, how could it be such a coincidence that she always appears on time?

It turns out that this man was the one who had been hiding the deepest secrets. He had stirred up the Great Yong Dynasty into chaos, even dragging Tuoba Yu of the Tian Sheng Dynasty into it, while he watched from the sidelines, reaping the benefits of the chaos.

With Liu Zhangyi's demise, the Liu family will inevitably suffer a major blow. The royal family, which has already suppressed the three major families, will immediately seize the opportunity to weaken the Liu family's strength. After this incident, Xing Qitian and the Ji family will definitely form an alliance, and they will not let Xing Qiyu and the Liu family off easily. The internal strife will become even more severe, because Tuoba Yu, who is making a move at this time, will also become an enemy of Xing Qitian and the Ji family...

The Sikong clan's neutral stance has actually made them a target for both major factions to court, so they probably won't fare too well.

The only entity that could remain uninvolved in this whole affair was the Great Zhou Dynasty.

She hadn't forgotten that before the Seventh Four-Star Assembly of the Central Continent Society, Emperor Beizun had asked Emperor Dayong for a city exit order, and none of this had happened then!

Even if he knew that the Crown Prince of the Northern Empire had ulterior motives, he had every reason to refuse!

This man is incredibly cunning!

Di Beizun did not refute, a rare faint trace appearing on his face, "Aren't you also very certain that I will step in to save you? Otherwise, once the item is in your hands, why would it ever come back?"

Sikong Jin snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "You really know me well. Anyone who didn't would think you were my confidant!"

As she spoke, she turned to look at Di Beizun, "You're the one who got the biggest advantage, so you have to give me a few Qi Condensation Pills as compensation."

Trying to extort money again, Lord Diao squinted and glared angrily at Sikong Jin.

Emperor Beizun leisurely sipped his tea and said calmly, "With my methods, I should kill you afterwards."

The meaning was already quite clear, especially for someone as noble and aloof as Di Beizun. Saying such a thing was already giving Sikong Jin a way out.

Sikong Jin sighed sadly, "Keep this secret for me. We're in the same boat now. What's the situation in the capital?"

Di Beizun calmly stopped what he was doing, paused for a moment, and then replied, "Thanks to you, Liu Zhang has become a cripple. Your Great Yong Emperor is not letting go of the opportunity to reshuffle the deck, and the conflict with the Ji family and Xing Qitian has intensified. Tang Jingyao and the people of the Sikong Mansion are looking for your whereabouts. I guess they are also wondering if you have been killed."

"What's the Royal Guard and the Imperial Guard doing? Are they still going out of the city to pursue them?"

"Emperor Dayong ordered a halt to the pursuit early last night. However, the troops that have been deployed and withdrawn in the north will be waiting for Xingqi Tian and his men on the road. If Xingqi Tian tries to break out like this, even with your several thousand cavalry escorting him, it will probably result in mutual destruction."

Emperor Beizun offered his insightful perspective.

Sikong Jin paused, her hands holding the teacup still, a cold glint in her eyes. "Xing Qiyu is determined to kill Xing Qitian and Ji Wuge. By eliminating Xing Qitian, a major threat, the Ji family will also suffer a great blow, exacerbating the conflict between the three major families..."

“No emperor wants his power to be dependent on someone outside of himself. It’s not incomprehensible that your Emperor Yong could do such a thing.”

Sikong Jin frowned and sighed, "But how could he be so despicable as to harm even his own brother? Moreover, Xing Qitian is a loyal and virtuous minister. I have never denied the importance of imperial power, but I think..."
