After standing there for an hour, Xiao Jiu'an still did not respond to her. Ji Yunkai could not help but sigh to herself. Wasn't this man a little too petty?

Was it really necessary to put so much pressure on her for such a trivial matter?

With a living person standing here, couldn't Xiao Jiu'an look at her at least?

Still nothing!

Not only did Xiao Jiu'an not look at her, but he also acted as if he could not hear her voice.

Is there any point in being so angry?

Once again, she discovered that this man was childish.

After not getting a reply for a long time, Ji Yunkai smiled bitterly and turned to leave. She had no interest in wasting time with this man. He may not be tired of sitting, but she was tired of standing.

However, when she reached the door, the man behind her suddenly spoke. "Tomorrow, the Emperor is going to appoint a new Imperial Concubine. You're going to participate in the banquet."

"Yes." Xiao Jiu'an coldly replied, without even raising his head. It was clear that he was not willing to talk too much.

Ji Yunkai looked at Xiao Jiu'an, gritting her teeth in anger!

This man had sent for her and made her wait an hour just to tell her this?

Could he go any further in his pettiness?

Even though Ji Yunkai kept telling herself not to be angry and that it was not worth it to be angry with Xiao Jiu'an, but she could not help becoming angry.

This man was simply...

She decided to hate him!

Without any hesitation, Ji Yunkai directly walked out and did not even bother closing the doors behind her.

When Ji Yunkai left, Xiao Jiu'an raised his head and watched her retreating form. His light eyes becoming deeper and deeper...

This woman was truly troublesome.

But, what right did this woman have? Why did she think that if she risked her life, he would let her go to Sky Doctor Valley?

This woman could not be so naive as to think that he would care about her life and death, right?

He admitted that Ji Yunkai still had some use. He did not want her to die, and he had thought about letting Feng Qi come to the capital to treat her. But the premise was that everything was up to him and not forced by Ji Yunkai.

He, Xiao Jiu'an, was not someone Ji Yunkai could force to do anything.

Looking at Ji Yunkai's disappearing figure, Xiao Jiu'an retracted his gaze and said coldly, "Ji Yunkai, there's no next time."

This time, he knew that she was creating the antidote for his thirty-thousand soldiers, so he did not want to quibble with her. If there was a next time, don't blame him for breaking her legs!

Did she want to leave? He would rather kill her than let her run away with a man!

The moment Xiao Shaorong entered, he noticed that the atmosphere was not right and retreated a step, pulling apart the distance between the two so that she would not be burned by Xiao Jiu'an's cold air.

"Prince, are you alright?" The Prince was not angry at all when his thirty-thousand soldiers were poisoned. What was going on today?

"What is it?" Xiao Jiu'an opened his mouth, and his voice was even colder than before.

Xiao Shaorong looked at Xiao Jiu'an's sullen face and wanted to gossip. However, when he saw Xiao Jiu'an's ice-cold eyes, he silently smacked the thought away and said with a serious face, "I received news from Infanta Shiqing's side. She seems to be mobilizing some manpower, but I do not know what she plans to do for now."

"Kill!"

"Ah? Kill the Infanta?" Xiao Shaorong was startled. Who was the prince trying to kill?

"Kill the people around her!" Xiao Jiu'an threw a cold glare at Xiao Shaorong, "Continue playing dumb, and This King will kill you."

"If you have something to say, then say it. If you have nothing to say, then scram for This King." Xiao Jiu'an seemed to have also realized that something was amiss, and his tone relaxed a little.

Although it was stricter than usual, at least it was still a little charming. Xiao Shaorong calmed down and did not dare to provoke him anymore. He quickly said, "My Prince, we still do not know what Infanta Shiqing is planning. Is it too early to make a move now?"

"There's no need. She's just a small character." Xiao Jiu'an had never placed Infanta Shiqing in his eyes.

Shiqing was not worth the trouble.

"Is there someone behind her?" Xiao Shaorong was stunned; why did he not find out?

He was the one in charge of the dark guard's intelligence.

"Beichen Tianque!" He was already here in the capital, yet Xiao Shaorong still needed help to understand?

He did not believe that Beichen Tianque would not strike at a time when then the Yanbei Army was in trouble. If it was a coincidence, he would no believe it. He had never believed that there were so many coincidences in this world.

This "coincidence" was just a result of careful calculation.

"Him? Infanta Shiqing will not be stupid enough to cooperate with him, right?" If that was the case, Xiao Shaorong wanted to break his principle of not killing women to kill Xiao Shiqing.

Beichen Tianque and Prince Yanbei's Mansion had an irreconcilable feud between them, and the old Prince Yanbei died by Beichen Tianque's hands. If Xiao Shiqing was indeed working with Beichen Tianque, she did not deserve to be surnamed "Xiao".

"She is not qualified to work with Beichen Tianque. Beichen Tianque will only treat her as a pawn." Although they had never fought head-on with Beichen Tianque, they had fought many times in the dark. Beichen Tianque was not an ordinary person. How could he possibly place Xiao Shiqing in his eyes?

"It's good that they are not working together. It'd be scary if the Infanta wanted to cooperate with him." To be able to work with the person who killed her father, how terrifying must this kind of woman be?

He felt more and more afraid of women now, and if he could, he never wanted to marry.

"Could it be that not being collaborators is somehow better than being used by the enemy who killed one's father?" Xiao Jiu'an would rather Shiqing be working with him. This way, he would still think highly of her.

Yet, she had been used by Beichen Tianque.

"Ugh… That seems to make sense." Xiao Shaorong was speechless, and in his heart, he silently mourned for Infanta Shiqing.

After this, Infanta Shiqing would not have any status in the Prince's heart anymore.

However, Infanta Shiqing should be glad that she was the Prince's younger sister; otherwise, with his vengeful personality, Shiqing would not be able to live.

Of course, the reason why Xiao Shaorong came to look for Xiao Jiu'an at this time, was not because he was worried about the matter of Infanta Shiqing, but for something else. He anxiously came to look for Xiao Jiu'an because he had discovered traces of the Third Prince of the Southern Wilderness.
