My Lady Always Lacks Ambition-Chapter 1098 - 1068: Settling Scores Before Dawn

Prince Zhao was hit by his own mansion plaque directly, and had been bedridden for over half a month. Now, he could barely be helped to walk a few steps, but going out was unrealistic, so he could only rest at home.

But he never expected that even lying on the bed could get him into trouble.

Just after being attended for a bath and wiped down, Prince Zhao was pretending to sleep on the bed when he suddenly felt a chill down his spine, his whole body’s hair standing on end.

Not good, there’s danger!

As soon as Prince Zhao opened his eyes, a pitch-black sack covered him, and he was instantly shocked, opening his mouth: "Someone..."

He felt a pain in his body, like a needle had pierced him, and soon he lost consciousness.

Doomed, who ambushed him?

Qin Liuxi saw Prince Zhao losing consciousness, only then did she remove the sack, then stripped off his clothes and started to beat him.

When she hits people, she doesn’t damage the surface, only the insides. It might look okay on the outside, but when he wakes up, his bones will feel as if crushed by a giant object, extremely uncomfortable.

After properly tending to Prince Zhao, she then put him back in the sack, flipped him over, and carried him on her back.

Treated like an object, with Prince Zhao resembling a dead dog, he hit the corner of the bed again, making a dull thud.

Qin Liuxi pasted an invisibility talisman on herself, carrying Prince Zhao quietly out of the Prince Zhao Mansion.

She arrived at Princess Si Yi Mansion, tossed him onto her bed, covered him with a thick quilt, waiting for Princess Si Yi to reveal her surprise (or fright).

She took another round in the Princess Manor, arriving at the study, where she heard someone inside exploding in anger. Leaning in for a closer look, it was Heir Bian from Prince Xinyang Mansion kicking the table and slamming it.

The reason for his anger was precisely because of that incomplete Array Map. No matter how much he searched and investigated, he couldn’t find out who took it.

He wanted to use authority to pressure Jiuxuan to reveal the seller, but Jiuxuan wouldn’t comply, even tougher than him, and he dared not go hard, after all, the auction was officially registered, not to mention who Jiuxuan’s true backer might be. The Ministry of Revenue had gotten such a great deal and would surely protect it.

Heir Bian dared not offend Jiuxuan and the Ministry of Revenue, unable to find out anything, could only rage impotently.

Princess Si Yi was also frustrated nearly to death over the matter of pregnancy, annoyed by her brother’s tantrum, impatiently saying, "Enough, didn’t Father say Master Xuanming is on his way? You can’t lose that thing, why fluster? Shouldn’t I be the one flustered?"

Heir Bian said, "What do you know? That Jiuxuan is somewhat peculiar, I feel like something bad is going to happen with this matter."

Though he’s a scoundrel, sometimes his intuition is especially sharp, particularly on bad events, where good ones aren’t accurate, but bad ones always are.

Princess Si Yi furrowed her brow, subconsciously pressing her heart. They were born as twins, and she had also been feeling recent misfortunes, with her brother’s words, her anxiety grew.

"Alright, no more of these jinxed words, I am very annoyed, just wait for the master to arrive, he will surely have a way," Princess Si Yi said, "I’m going back to my room."

Heir Bian seeing her impatience, felt a bit of dissatisfaction, but said nothing, adding, "If nothing works, have the doctor take your pulse, can’t let Father’s painstaking plans be for nothing."

Princess Si Yi glared fiercely at him: "Worry less about me, and handle yourself first."

Such a reckless comment, bastard!

Qin Liuxi watched as Princess Si Yi left in a huff, her sharp dark eyes slightly squinting, Master Xuanming, was he the one who set up the Five Elements Formation for the Li Family?

What a coincidence.

Princess Si Yi returned to her room, plopped onto the bed, frowning and contemplating her brother’s words, subconsciously touching her belly.

That useless Prince Consort, truly incompetent; he could impregnate that Song woman, but couldn’t seed her womb; useless, the waste of such a good Life Chart!

She flopped backward, then sat up sharply, harshly shouting: "Who’s there?"

It was then she noticed the bedding was already laid, there was a human shape hidden inside, blaming herself for preoccupied thoughts not noticing the bed was made, hiding someone.

Yet that person remained motionless.

Princess Si Yi took down a whip with barbed ends from the bed, holding it in her hand, she said: "If you don’t make a sound, I’m going to move."

Seeing no response from him, she abruptly flipped the quilt, revealing a stark naked body in just underpants, her brow arching.

Who is this, offering themselves on a silver platter?

She probed his waist with the long whip, no reaction, unexpectedly went to the bed for a closer look, and was utterly shocked.

Prince Zhao?

How did he come to be lying in such a state on her bed?

Princess Si Yi poked Prince Zhao’s face, then felt that sturdy physique, and peeled further down.

Tweet-tweet.

Princess Si Yi raised her brows and said, "You sent yourself to me, so I cannot be blamed by this Princess." She stood up, loudly calling for attendants, "Someone, prepare a bath."

Qin Liuxi slipped out unnoticed.

As for whether Prince Zhao would later spark some fiery situation, that wasn’t her concern now, since he dared to implicate her with Qingping Temple, her retaliation should be accepted.

What are propriety and honor?

He even qualifies for them!

Qin Liuxi didn’t seek out Qin Ming Yue or even interrogate the Qin family; Qin Ming Yan could still bounce back after being so injured? If really investigating, it’s not a secret, even if the Qin family doesn’t reveal, someone from the northwest would.

Compared to the Qin family, she was more concerned about the person who gave Zhao this lousy idea, was it Yu Linglan?

If this affair really succeeded, achieving multiple objectives, it’s not impossible, then dragging her down, was she merely seen as a stepping stone or purposefully targeted?

This bizarre feeling from him surged again, was he truly Prince Zhao’s man?

Back to Qingping Temple, Feng Xiu was speaking with Hei Sha, who, upon seeing her, approached excitedly, "You’re finally back."

"Weren’t you back to your old haunt for cultivation?" Qin Liuxi curiously asked, "Why returned?"

Hei Sha shook his head, pitifully saying, "I can’t enter Black Desert anymore."

Qin Liuxi was taken aback, "What do you mean?"

"I mean I can’t go back, the Black Desert of the past had an entry, but never an exit, for having me was normal. But now, having left for a few years, returning, it’s impenetrable, completely isolated. No way in. Not just me, all creatures are barred," Hei Sha explained, choking up, "Back then, you promised, I’d just come out to play, could return anytime. But now? All fine when out, but can’t return! I don’t care, you have to help me, or I won’t abide."

The Black Desert was truly his home base; leaving for years, but unable to re-enter, unacceptable!

Qin Liuxi: "..."

Is this blaming her?
