Manqing nodded and said, "I understand!"

Jingjing nodded, seeing that the last belt was tied up by Manqing, she said, "Hurry and go, I have to enter the palace!"

The Tenth Princess, who was curiously listening to her lecture, also followed Jingjing as she stood up.

She walked to the side of Jingjing, tugged on Jingjing's clothes and said, "Elder sister, can you help me check on aunt?"

"Hmm? Look at your aunt? " Jingjing couldn't react for a moment.

The Tenth Princess frowned and said, "When I left the palace, my aunt was sick. Father asked her to rest in the palace. Today, he told her to help me see if she had recovered. I miss her!"

"Oh?" Jing Jing said, "If everything is good, do you want to receive the Dao King Mansion to serve you?"

Jingjing originally only wanted to test her out, but she also wanted to see if her aunt's weight in her heart could be shaken.

The Tenth Princess thought for a while and seemed to feel that something was amiss. She said, "There's no need. It's not bad living in the Prince's Mansion."

Actually, she wanted her aunt to come, but if Jingjing were to go to the palace now, she would have to ask her aunt to come out.

He was afraid that the King of the Western Regions would feel that the King's Mansion was not serving well.

How could Jingjing not know what the Tenth Princess was thinking?

She was moved by her young age, and at the same time, she was meticulous and kind.

He also knew that the Tenth Princess did not rely on her aunt in the palace as much as he had imagined.

He heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that it would be better if the Tenth Princess took the initiative to ask her to go see that aunt.

He could test the other person's ability and see if he knew her purpose.

It's not like he would arouse the old pious man's suspicions and alert the snake.

Thinking of this, he turned to the Tenth Princess and said gently, "I know, I will help you check it out!"

A smile appeared on the face of the Tenth Princess. She looked at Jingjing and earnestly said, "Thank you, big sister. I really like you!"

Jing Jing's heart softened, she earnestly said, "Stay at home and wait for me, I'll be back soon."

With that, he got Ye Chong to follow him into the carriage and hurried towards the palace.

The moment she saw Ye Chong, she thought of the masked man.

Remembering what they said last night when they were drunk.

Although Jingjing was drunk at the time, she still remembered some things clearly.

The masked man's despicable point had caused her to lose the match.

Then, he said that he didn't need to do the thing he had ordered last time. He had achieved his goal or something.

However, Jingjing only remembered these words.

Not to mention being drunk at the time, even now when he was awake, he still didn't understand the meaning behind those words.

After a moment of silence, he turned to Ye Chong, who was resting with his eyes closed, and asked, "Ye Chong, what kind of deal did you make with the masked man at that time to come to the Western Regions to protect me?"

She opened her mouth to speak and opened her eyes to look at her.

Hearing her ask such a question, he closed his eyes and rested, then said, "You don't need to know …"

Hearing Ye Chong's dissatisfied reply, Jing Jing only slightly frowned and said, "It sounds like you don't like that person."

After a while, Ye Chong raised her eyes slightly and looked at Jing Jing, saying seriously, "You're right about that, I really don't like him."

Hearing Ye Chong's straightforward reply, Jing Jing didn't know how to refute him.

She looked at Ye Chong and asked seriously, "So, Ye Chong, I have a very important question to ask you, and I hope you can answer it for me."

"Speak!" Ye Chong tightened the grip on her black sword, which was like a burning poker, and looked at Jing Jing as she spoke.

Jingjing muttered to herself for a moment and said, "Do you know the identity of the masked man?"

Ye Chong slowly opened her eyes and looked at Jing Jing.

He seemed to not understand why he would ask such a question.

Looking at his expression, Jing Jing didn't know whether he wanted to answer or not.

After hesitating for a while, he said in a low voice, "If you know it's inconvenient to tell me, you just need to tell me. If you don't know, then we will come together to make a guess."

Ye Chong expressionlessly looked at Jing Jing.

Just when Jing Jing thought he wouldn't answer and couldn't speak, who knew Ye Chong would suddenly open her mouth and say, "At first I thought I knew who he was, but then I realized, I guessed wrong!"

"What do you mean?" Jing Jing asked Ye Chong in confusion.

Ye Chong replied, "The meaning is very simple. From the start, I thought that he was the person I thought he was. That's why I came to the Western Regions with him. However … After a period of contact, I realized that he was not the person I thought he was. In other words... "It's a bit different from what I thought, but it doesn't affect our deal. Although I'm a bit unhappy, I won't stop the cooperation."

This was the first time Jing Jing Jing heard him say something like this since she knew Ye Chong.

He smiled lightly and said, "So that's how it is!"

Ye Chong looked into her eyes and suddenly asked, "I also have a question to ask you!"

"Go ahead!" Jing Jing generously said, "I will definitely say everything I know!"

"On that day in the underground palace … What did he encounter? How did you manage to learn the Divine Palm in one fell swoop? "

Ye Chong knew her real name, so she naturally wouldn't say the words "Godly Jingjing Palm".

"Ugh …"

The generous looking Jingjing suddenly became stuck: "About that …"

"Have you met the priest?" Ye Chong suddenly approached Jing with a nervous expression.

"Mm …"

"Have you seen a page yet …" "Yellow pages?" Ye Chong suddenly approached Jingjing, her expression becoming even more nervous. Her hands subconsciously reached for Jingjing.

He pinched Jing Jing's arm so hard that it hurt. She struggled to pull it away and said, "Ye Chong —"

Only then did Ye Chong realize that she had lost her composure, and let go of Jing Jing. "My … "I've lost my composure a bit, but can you tell me?"

Jing Jing shook her head, and looked at Ye Chong seriously, "Ye Chong, I fell into a deep hole in the underground palace, and fainted after that. When I woke up, I found that I had Jing Jing's Divine Palm.

After Jing Jing said her piece, she turned her face away, not daring to look into Ye Chong's sharp eyes.

Under Ye Chong's fervent gaze, she said in a low voice, "Don't tell the masked man what I've told you, okay?"

Ye Chong nodded, "Alright, I promise you!"

After saying that, he closed his eyes again.

Jingjing let out a light breath, her mind thinking, I have to properly hide that yellow page when I go back …

Why were all of them so interested in the priests, and even more so in the yellowing pages?

Jingjing couldn't figure it out, so she didn't want to.

The only thing she could do was to hide that piece of paper well. Unless it was absolutely crucial, she couldn't easily take it out …

Jing Jing closed her eyes like Ye Chong did.

After a while, he fell asleep.

When he arrived at the palace, he was awakened by Ye Chong.

As soon as she saw the Western Region King, Jingjing suddenly remembered, she hadn't even thought of a proper excuse, how would she explain it to him later?

Just as he was about to regain his senses, he heard Ye Chong chuckling softly. "You … "Did you not sleep well last night?"

She touched Wu Qing's eyes that she couldn't cover up even though she was covered with powder. "Huh?" That's right! "

Ye Chong looked at her for some reason, and a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

At first, Jing Jing did not know what Ye Chong meant, but then she realized what he meant.

She blushed and scolded Ye Chong, "The one I had last night …" Qing Yue wanted to sleep with me so she didn't sleep well. Last night, she had a nightmare and I went to comfort her and drank some wine.

As she tried to explain more, Ye Chong finally replied, "I was just casually asking. There's no need to explain!"

"Ugh …" Jingjing lowered her head, a suspicious blush on her face. She followed the old eunuch who led her into the King's Pavilion.

Naturally, Ye Chong was stopped outside the door. When Jingjing walked in alone, she couldn't help but feel guilty.

She slowly walked in and stood at that position as she bowed.

This time, the King of the Western Regions rarely blamed her. Instead, he directly called for her to get up.

Was it the calm before the storm?

Jingjing thanked him and stood up uneasily.

He heard the Western Region King say: "Last night, did you use the Jingjing Divine Palm?"

Hearing that the Western Region King's tone was very normal, Jing Jing became even more guilty. She quickly replied, "Yes royal father, I don't know why I did this. Royal father, please don't blame me …"

After waiting for a series of explanations, the Western Region King faintly spoke, "I don't blame you!"

"Hmm?" Jing Jing couldn't help but to look up, those words didn't seem like a joke, but they were true.

Did she hear wrong?

Seeing the puzzled look on Jingjing's face, the Western Region King revealed a smile and said: "I can tell that you really can't trick me."

Seeing that he didn't seem to be faking it, Jingjing heaved a sigh of relief.

He then heard the Western Region King continue, "Your father will return to the city tomorrow. Prepare to welcome him!"

Jing Jing was slightly surprised for a moment, then she immediately reacted.

No wonder he was not blamed, it was because the Western Region King was coming.

As he thought of this, he could not help but let out a mocking laugh.

This is a world where the strong preys on the weak. As long as you have the ability, you are the boss.

So what if he was the king of the Western Regions?

Not to be afraid of her.

If it were yesterday, who knows how the Western Region King would make things difficult for her.

Jing Jing straightened her expression, looked towards the Western Region King and said, "Royal father, please be kind. I will go out to the palace later to prepare."

Even though he said that, he felt a bit weird.

Why had General Xiahou waited until today without informing anyone of his return?

Moreover, as the most beloved daughter of General Xiahou, why didn't she know about it?

If it wasn't because Xiahou saw that there was a plan to scram, then the Western Region King had deliberately concealed this information.

No matter what the reason was, he would know when he saw the King of the Western Regions tomorrow.

The King of the Western Regions looked at Jing Jing's thoughtful expression, but he didn't pay any attention to her.

He only paid attention to the words that she had just said: "You're going to go now? Is there anything else you need at the palace? "

The meaning behind his words was for Jingjing to go back now.
