"You, you're mad!" Qiao Xiya helped Chunling behind her to barely stabilize her figure. It was only at this moment that she realized that her trip to Huizhou was so dangerous.

"Hahahaha, mad!" Lin Yaozhu burst out laughing again, "If you were a little stupid, a little more stupid, maybe he wouldn't rack his brains to find a way to kill you."

"What is Yao Mingxi's mission after killing the envoy?" Lin Yaozhu's provocation made Qiao Xiya very uncomfortable, and she changed the topic in a cold voice.

"Find the right person to replace the envoy into the palace to offer treasures." Lin Yaozhu felt a little uncomfortable when she saw that her provocation had hit a soft nail in front of Qiao Xiya.

"Lin Feng'an obviously has a better way to quietly bring Bai Niangniang into the palace, why do you have to kill the envoy and then enter the palace under a false name?" Qiao Xiya frowned.

"Not being able to kill you is really the biggest negligence." Lin Yaozhu sneered, "If I had half of your agility, wouldn't I have been disliked by my father?"

"It is said that the two countries are at war, and they will not be killed." Seeing that Qiao Xiya ignored herself, Lin Yaozhu continued, "You said, what will happen if the news of the envoy's killing spreads?"

Lin Yaozhu's words made Qiao Xiya shudder. If it is really as Lin Yaozhu said, the news of the killing of the envoy spreads, it is equivalent to declaring war.

"What good will it do you if the two countries go to war?" Qiao Xiya trembled, she didn't dare to imagine that if there was really a war, it would be a lot of grief and misery.

"Benefits?" Lin Yaozhu sneered, "Qiao Xiya, I said that you are well-read and unforgettable, but sometimes you are stupid and cute." Lin Yaozhu paused and continued, "Do you know what it means for a sandpiper and a clam to compete for a fisherman's profit?"

"Then do you know what it means to have no eggs under the nest?" Qiao Xiya interrupted Lin Yaozhu's words sharply.

Lin Yaozhu was stunned, and then smiled softly: "Wealth is in danger. You underestimated my father's ambition and the desires of his heart."

"What else? In addition to wanting to provoke a war, what other reason do you have to kill the envoys and pretend to be envoys to enter the palace to offer treasures!" Qiao Xiya frowned, she didn't want to admit that her former playmate had become what she was like in front of her.

"Why, isn't the reason for provoking war sufficient?" Lin Yaozhu smiled, raised her head, and her whole face was covered in the sunshine, feeling the warmth she had not seen for a long time.

"If it's just to provoke a war, then it's good to kill the envoy, there is no need to pretend to be an envoy to enter the palace to offer treasures." Qiao Xiya said coldly.

"Heh, why didn't I notice you being so delicate when I was a child?" Lin Yaozhu sneered, "The purpose of entering the palace to offer treasures is to let Bai Niangniang choose the easiest target. Only when the envoys come to the audience, the emperor Lao'er will let the Manchu civil and military and harem concubines, princes and grandsons attend the banquet. Only by allowing all the targets to appear can the White Lady choose the most suitable target to start with."

"If I'm not mistaken, since the jade carving offered by the minister was broken, the doppelganger of the White Lady has been attached to the Twelve Highnesses, right? Then can you tell me who the body of the White Lady and the owner of the White Lady are?"

"Didn't you personally take the rooster and the hedgehog to catch them in the small ancestral hall of Yaofu? Why do you bother to ask me?"

"Do you think I really think the owner is Yao Mingxi?" Qiao Xiya sneered, "He was seriously injured and disfigured by the prince, no matter where he went, it was easy to attract attention, not to mention that since he stabbed the prince in the mermaid case, Daning posted his wanted notice, where did he get the white lady?"

"That's it, it's all like this, I'll tell you." Lin Yaozhu sighed lightly, "Didn't you notice that my father was missing an eye?"

"You mean ......," Qiao Xiya's eyes widened in disbelief.

"yes...... The pious woman who raised the White Lady said that if you want to become the owner of the White Lady, you have to give up something. The more powerful the white lady, the greater the price you need to pay. So my father gave up one of his eyes and got a white lady who was parasitic in the eyeball." Lin Yaozhu couldn't help but shudder as if she remembered some terrible scene, and after a short pause, she continued, "The old pious woman gouged out her eyeball with her bare hands and handed it to my father, asking my father to eat it. The bloody black hole in the eye sockets, the bloodshot

The eyeballs, the black and yellow teeth, and the withered hands like branches, I will never forget them in my life. The old goddess said that as long as you eat this eyeball, the white lady who is parasitic in the eyeball will parasitize in his body and listen to him."

"Then why did it pass on to Yao Mingxi later?" Lin Yaozhu's description made Qiao Xiya a little frightened.

"After the White Lady completed her transformation, her taste also became bigger, she didn't want to be driven by my father anymore, she asked my father to find a seven-trick exquisite heart for her, if she couldn't find it, she would eat me. I was the perfect sacrifice for my father's rebellion, and he would not let anyone threaten my safety, so he became murderous. It just so happened that Yao Mingxi, who had been hiding at that time, kept asking to return to the city, and my father thought of passing on the white lady and finding a substitute for the dead ghost. The old abbot of Longquan Temple told him that if he wanted to solve the current dead end, he had to know how to give up and give up what did not belong to him in the first place. His father asked him how to give it up, and he said how it came and how it went. When he got home, he gouged out his eyeballs, put them in a tea bowl, asked me to go out of the city to send them to Yao Mingxi, and told him that as long as he ate the contents of the tea bowl, he could go back to Jin'an City. Yao Mingxi, who was eager to return to the city, didn't even think about it, so he swallowed his eyeballs, and I opened the city gate with my waist card and sent him back to Yao's mansion overnight."

Qiao Xiya was silent. She couldn't be more familiar with the rest of the matter, it was the hedgehog and rooster she brought to find Yao Mingxi hiding in the secret passage of the small ancestral hall of Yao Mansion, and successfully forced out the body of Bai Niangniang, thus saving the lives of the twelve princes.

"Yin Banxian and the pigeons of Liuyun Hall were also done by you, right?" Qiao Xiya said coldly.

"Yin Banxian is a soft bone." Lin Yaozhu sneered, "One ingot of gold, two threats, and he agreed to everything." Speaking of this, she paused, "I asked the inner Ying of the palace to throw the pigeons of the Liuyun Hall into the Liuyun Palace. As for where the pigeons ended up, I'm afraid you'll have to go back home and ask Lord Lingzun."

"What do you mean by that?" Qiao Xiya suddenly lowered her face and asked sharply.

"Hahahaha, just ask him, do you remember the pigeon I once sent to Qiao's Mansion, I heard that Lingtang made soup, and I don't know if it's fresh or not." Lin Yaozhu raised her head and smiled, her unkempt hair trembling in the sun, raising puffs of fine dust, "Qiao Xiya, do you still want to continue listening?" If you want to hear it, pour me a bowl of tea!"
