Quick Transmigration: The Carefree Life of a Background Character
Chapter 77 The Fifth Prince of Northern Liang (15)
"Bang, bang, bang," came the knocking at the door.
Chi Ling quickly released Zi Yue, but still held one of Zi Yue's hands and did not intend to let go.
Anyway, he's a person with a formal status now.
"come in."
As Song Zhiwen entered, he saw Ziyue and Young Master Chiling holding hands. He quickly lowered his head and didn't say or look at them much. "Miss, someone downstairs is requesting an audience with you."
"Same as always, no thanks." Ziyue refused decisively.
“Miss, this time it’s a member of the royal family of Xiliang Kingdom, and he said he would pay any price as long as you can see him.”
Song Zhiwen quickly explained that he knew the young lady's rules, but this person's identity was special, so just in case, he decided to come up and inform them.
"Ding—Random Task 1: Please make a deal with the Fifth Prince of Beiliang Kingdom. Complete the task and you will be rewarded with 500 points."
Random Task Two: Please help the Crown Prince of Beiliang Kingdom successfully inherit the throne. Reward for completing this task: 1000 points.
"Tsk, Little Jiu'er, this mission is basically just giving me free points. The mission is too easy. Has this person come for the antidote?"
"Host, it's like this. According to the original novel, the fifth prince of the Northern Liang Kingdom asked for this pill for his elder brother, the crown prince."
The Fifth Prince and the Crown Prince were born of the same mother, the late Empress. However, the King of Beiliang did not like the late Empress, so he also disliked the two princes born to her.
Although he was the crown prince, he was targeted by various forces from a young age, and many kinds of poisons accumulated in his body. The imperial physicians determined that the crown prince would not live past the age of 25.
In the original novel, the crown prince died before he was 25 years old. The fifth prince, heartbroken and filled with hatred for the entire Northern Liang royal family, launched a war, plunging the entire Northern Liang Kingdom into civil war and causing widespread suffering.
The antidote could save the life of the Crown Prince of Northern Liang, preventing the Fifth Prince from launching a war out of hatred for the royal family after the Crown Prince's death, thus saving countless people from the suffering of war.
"I see. Then let's accept mission one first." Although Xiao Jiu'er had said so much, from the outside perspective, Zi Yue had only thought about it for a second.
Ziyue took out an antidote pill and handed it to Song Zhiwen. "Give this antidote pill to him... never mind, invite him up to the reception room next door."
Ziyue thought that she might as well take these points; helping the Crown Prince of Beiliang seize the throne wasn't out of the question, so—
"Little Jiu'er, accept mission two as well."
"Okay, host."
"Ah Ling, do you want to come with me?" Zi Yue shook his hand and asked.
"Yes." He was eager to stay by Ziyue's side at all times.
Ziyue and Chiling moved to the adjacent reception room, where Qingyun served a pot of Jinshan Cuiya tea before respectfully leaving.
A short while later, the guest entered the room.
He wore a long indigo robe with silver-threaded cloud stripes embroidered on the collar and cuffs, and a wide brocade belt with auspicious moon and cloud patterns tied around his waist.
His jet-black hair was tied up with a jade crown, his features were exceptionally handsome, his temperament was elegant, and his demeanor was outstanding. He was truly a graceful young man worthy of being depicted in a painting.
Upon entering the room, Bei Liang Haitang was immediately struck by a stunningly beautiful woman. She wore a simple brocade dress, her hair was styled in a simple updo with a butterfly hairpin, and her phoenix eyes were naturally alluring. Even without makeup, her face was still incredibly beautiful. He couldn't help but be captivated.
Suddenly, he felt a murderous aura rushing towards him. He turned his head to look at the source of the murderous intent and then noticed that a handsome and imposing man in dark brocade robes with a murderous aura was sitting next to the beauty.
Chi Ling disliked the way the man looked at Zi Yue, so she couldn't suppress her killing intent.
Ziyue noticed, but didn't say anything. After all, one was a stranger, and the other was her new boyfriend.
Bei Liang Haitang quickly straightened his expression; these two people both seemed to be extraordinary individuals.
But from the moment he entered the room, the man seemed to disappear. Even though he was sitting so close to the beauty, he naturally ignored him.
He only noticed him when he released a hint of murderous intent while staring at the woman a few more times.
Such people are either trained bodyguards or assassins.
With a thousand thoughts racing through his mind, Bei Liang Haitang stepped forward and bowed to Zi Yue, saying, "Bei Liang Haitang greets Pavilion Master Linglong."
"I know why you've come. Here, take it." With that, he pointed to an exquisitely carved jade box on the table and pushed it toward Bei Liang Haitang.
Bei Liang Haitang never expected things to go so smoothly. He never imagined that the Pavilion Master of Linglong Pavilion would be the first to offer him an antidote, which would save his brother.
Bei Liang Haitang spoke with slight excitement: "Thank you very much, Pavilion Master. I am extremely grateful. The antidote pill was auctioned for 18,000 gold coins at the auction. How about I buy it for 20,000 gold coins?"
He was delayed by something and arrived too late; by the time he got there, the antidote had already been sold.
This was done out of desperation.
I hope to meet the owner of Linglong Pavilion and obtain an antidote.
He is willing to pay any price for this.
Thinking of this, and then of the groups of people who had repeatedly tried to assassinate him and block his path, a bloodthirsty smile flashed in his eyes.
So, if they didn't want him to save his brother, was it perhaps orchestrated by his good father, or by some other "good" brother?
"can."
Ziyue quite liked the Fifth Prince's personality. He was modest yet sharp-willed, eloquent, flexible, and had the courage to rebel for his brothers. He was also a passionate and courageous person, someone worth befriending.
As far as she knew, the Crown Prince of Beiliang was also a good prince who was wholeheartedly dedicated to serving the people. Otherwise, she would not have accepted Mission Two.
Ziyue and Beiliang Haitang reached a friendly deal. Ziyue completed her mission and gained 500 points for nothing, putting her in a great mood.
After receiving the antidote, Bei Liang Haitang felt a huge weight lifted from his heart and was inclined to make friends with him.
He only learned from Manager Song's hint when he came up that the owner behind Linglong Pavilion was actually a woman. After meeting her today, he found her to be quite extraordinary.
It should be known that the Hundred Crafts Pavilion is famous throughout the world, and many powerful and noble people in the Northern Liang Kingdom are extremely fond of the Pavilion.
His elder brother had a solar-powered table lamp that was presented to him by a servant, but he hadn't had the chance to visit Linglong Pavilion in recent years.
His elder brother's situation was like oil on a raging fire, on the edge of a knife; how could he dare to leave Beiliang City for an extended period?
Now that there is hope for his brother's health, he can relax a bit.
Ziyue and Beiliang Haitang found themselves getting along very well and quickly became close friends. He even gave Ziyue a jade pendant as a symbol of his status.
Before leaving, he repeatedly assured her that he would welcome her to the capital of Northern Liang at any time.
After Bei Liang Haitang left, Chi Ling asked, "Yue'er, would you like to visit Bei Liang?"
"Hmm, not just the Northern Liang Kingdom, I also want to visit the other two kingdoms. Traveling around and enjoying the scenery, wouldn't that be wonderful!"
Ziyue nodded repeatedly, indicating her desire to go out and have fun.
Although she had traveled alone before, the world is so big, and there are still many places she has never been.
She wanted to see them all.
Moreover, she still has to go to Beiliang to do a mission.
Chi Ling, who was initially consumed by jealousy, suddenly felt that nothing else mattered when she saw Zi Yue's expectant eyes; the most important thing was for the person in front of her to be happy.
"Alright, wherever Yue'er wants to go, we'll go."
In the following period, Ziyue prepared to arrange things at Linglong Pavilion. Previously, Ziyue would only bring out the items to be auctioned on the day of the auction.
This time, she plans to take out all the items for the next six months of auction and put them in a huge safe on the fourth floor, the kind that even a thief couldn't steal. She only told Xingmeng the password.
Xingmeng is a lifelike robot, absolutely loyal to her alone. She has high combat skills and a steady, meticulous personality. Entrusting her with this task is definitely no problem.
With Xiao Jiu'er's remote monitoring, even if something goes wrong, Zi Yue can use her teleportation skill to quickly return and handle it in a few breaths.
"Miss, please take good care of yourself while you're out there."
While helping Ziyue pack her luggage, Qingyun kept muttering to himself, making Ziyue's ears almost calloused!
"Don't worry, don't worry. Don't you trust your young lady's skills? Besides, there's Chi Ling. He'll definitely take good care of me."
Upon hearing this, Qingyun fell silent.
After all, she had clearly learned these past few days how much Young Master Chi Ling had taken care of and doted on her young lady. He would never agree to anything her young lady said, and he would never try to reach for the moon if she asked him to pluck the stars.
She naturally believed that Young Master Chi Ling would protect her young lady and ensure her safety.
Moreover, Young Master Chi Ling took excellent care of the young lady in every little detail of her life.
Qingyun and Qingshu both felt that if Ziyue hadn't liked their cooking, they would have faced the risk of losing their jobs.
And so, Ziyue and Chiling, in a carriage, traveled light and simply, preparing to tour the mountains and rivers of Luocheng all the way to the capital of Beiliang.
