Beiling was in decline gradually under Yan Ji's rule. After Yan Luo got the news, she had some hopes.
Then she called people and told them the news.
At this time, one person raised an objection. He asked that even if this person was the little infanta, after so many years, she had not been found, how could she come back suddenly? We must figure it out.
Moreover, it was unknown whether she had the card or not. Just in case, we should send someone to investigate.
After Yan Luo heard this, she lowered head and pondered. She couldn't help but nod. Later, she asked who should be sent.
At this moment, Yan Lingjun came out and said to Yan Luo that he would accept this assignment.
As soon as he said this, he was rejected by people.
Yan Luo also rejected him, "If things went well, you would be the king of the Beiling so that you couldn't take risks."
At this time, someone put forward that Young Master Liu Ling had excellent martial arts. He was a prudent person. Indubitably, he was the most suitable candidate.
After listening, everyone nodded.
The next day, Liu Ling set off for Dongling. After a few days, he arrived at Jing City. After inquiring, he learned that Yang Zijin had left Jing City and gone to Jiandu.
So Liu Ling hurried to chase in the direction of Jiandu.
Finally, he caught up with the team that went to Jiandu to send grain. He discovered in secret that a woman had been injured, and there was a man beside Yang Zijin.
Later, when he saw the lady's appearance, he couldn't help being surprised. Before he came, Princess Yan Luo had already explained to him that the person she was looking for looked similar to Wanchu.
But he didn't expect that she had such a similar appearance with Wanchu. It must be the person he was looking for. After careful observation, the person who was often next to the infanta was the Marquis Shuo of Dongling. Liu Ling didn't expect that the white-clothed man in the team was the Ghost Immortal.
However, with these two people's protection, he couldn't find a chance to explain it to Yang Zijin.
When he arrived in the small town, Liu Ling sat in the teahouse opposite the inn, observing their movements.
While drinking tea, he saw Yang Zijin coming out with the man, and he put down the cup and followed them.
Then, he saw the boy hit the infanta. When the boy left, he saw the boy taking a cloth bag from the infanta.
Later, Liu Ling followed the boy to a secluded alley. He saw that the boy opened the cloth bag, which he snatched from the infanta, and took out the things.
At first, Liu Ling thought those were just some silver taels, but when the little boy took out a card, he couldn't help but frown: Could this be...
Thinking of this, Liu Ling jumped off the roof.
He snatched the card from the little boy and looked at it carefully. It was written "dispatched" on it. This must be the card that could command the Beiling Dark Force. Thinking of this, Liu Ling couldn't help but rejoice.
It seemed that the princess was right. This lady was the little infanta.
Then, he put away the card, took the boy to find Yang Zijin, and returned the card to her.
At this moment, Yang Zijin looked at the man in black cloth and then asked, "What did you call me just now? Master?"
"Exactly." This man in black cloth walked to Yang Zijin and said.
Yang Zijin was confused. She looked at the man in black cloth and said, "Uh...Well... It seems that we don't know each other, right?"
"My name is Liu Ling. I'm from Beiling. The princess ordered me to find you." At this time, the man in black cloth introduced himself to Yang Zijin.
Yang Zijin was even more confused after hearing this, "What? Beiling? Which princess ordered you?"
"It's Princess Suhan's twin sister, that is, your aunt, Your Highness." Liu Ling continued to explain to Yang Zijin.
Hearing this, Yang Zijin couldn't help but confuse. She asked, "Wait, you say, my mother has a twin sister?"
"Yes." Liu Ling nodded.
Upon seeing this, Yang Zijin then asked, "Then why is she looking for me now?"
"This is a long story. If Your Highness has any questions, you can ask me." Liu Ling looked at Yang Zijin and sighed.
Yang Zijin was naturally full of questions. How could she have an aunt suddenly? So, she asked Liu Ling, "Then why did my aunt let you come to Dongling to find me?"
"Because of the card." Liu Ling said briefly.
Hearing that he mentioned the card, Yang Zijin couldn't help feeling tense, and then asked, "Card? She also knows the card?"
"The princess knows more than that. We have been looking for you and the card for these years." Liu Ling said.
Yang Zijin frowned slightly after hearing this, "Have been looking for me and the card all these years?"
"Yes, Your Highness. At that time, Princess Suhan went to Beiling to discuss how to get the throne of Beiling back with the princess." Liu Ling then explained to Yang Zijin.
Hearing this, Yang Zijin frowned. It was about the card again. Then, she asked, "So what does this have to do with the card?"
"This card can order the Beiling Dark Force." Liu Ling looked at Yang Zijin.
Yang Zijin couldn't help being surprised when she heard it. And she looked astonished and asked Liu Ling, "Are you saying that this card can order the Beiling Dark Force?"
"Yes, Your Highness. The Beiling Dark Force has guarded the Beiling for generations, and they only follow orders after seeing the card." Liu Ling replied.
Yang Zijin couldn't help but nod after hearing this. She had heard of the Beiling Dark Force. She had thought about many functions of this card, but she didn't expect it to order the Beiling Dark Force. Then, she understood why there would be so many men dressed in black to snatch her card again and again.
Thinking of this, Yang Zijin asked again, "Then why didn't you act immediately?"
"At that time, just in case, the princess decided to find the treasure first to ensure the supplies. But she didn't expect that Princess Suhan would never return. Later, the princess sent someone to Dongling to investigate. And, she learned that Princess Suhan was murdered on the way back. The card and the little infanta also disappeared together." Liu Ling explained to Yang Zijin about the situation.
After hearing this, Yang Zijin hurriedly asked, "Then, what's next?"
"Later, the princess felt that it was strange, so she sent people to Dongling to look for the infanta while investigating the murder of Princess Suhan." Liu Ling said to Yang Zijin.
At this moment, Yang Zijin looked at Liu Ling and asked, "So, did you find out anything later?"
"As expected, Princess Suhan was murdered by someone..." Liu Ling said, looking at Yang Zijin.
He continued, "Later, the princess asked us to conduct a thorough investigation of this matter, and found out that the Dongling Emperor knew about it."
"What? You mean the Emperor knew about the assassination of Princess Royal?" Yang Zijin was shocked after hearing this.
At this moment, Liu Ling looked at Yang Zijin and nodded, "Yes, Your Highness."
"So, does he also know about the card?" Yang Zijin couldn't help feeling scared.
Liu Ling said with a cold snort, "Of course, he knows the card. He not only knows but also indulges imperial concubine Xiao to do this. On the surface, he is benevolent and moral, but secretly he is a complete hypocrite."
After listening to Liu Ling's words, Yang Zijin couldn't help but figure out. No wonder why Chushi Weiming would hide in the Blossoming Peach a few days ago to find her.
And why was she framed by Li Mingzi several times? That's the reason.
It was estimated that Li Mingzi was also involved in it.
This time the Emperor sent her to Jiandu, and he probably had another purpose.
At first, she was puzzled about this robbery. Why these people dressed in black just hurt the people in the team, but they didn't kill them. Now, she conjectured that those people must be sent by the Emperor.
She didn't expect that Chushi Youtian would do such a thing. As the saying goes, the royal family was always ruthless. That's true.
But now that she knew the truth, she wouldn't remain indifferent. As long as the people involved in this matter, she would definitely let them pay the price.
However, half of the parchment scroll was snatched by the black-clothed man. Then, Yang Zijin raised head and said to Liu Ling, "I have the card, but the half of the parchment scroll was snatched away."
"Snatched by them?" Liu Ling frowned slightly.
Yang Zijin looked at Liu Ling and nodded.
Then Liu Ling said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. The treasure can't be found without the other half of the map, but does Your Highness know who robbed it?"
Yang Zijin nodded.
"Then, does Your Highness need someone to take it back?" Liu Ling then asked.
Yang Zijin answered with cold eyes, "No, I have my own way."
"You first go back to Beiling to report to my aunt. After I have solved the matter here and got the treasure map, I will go to Beiling and regain the throne." Yang Zijin said to Liu Ling.
Looking at Yang Zijin's firm eyes, Liu Ling had to obey her order.
Although the infanta in front of him looked very similar to the princess Wanchu, they had completely different temperaments. The infanta gave people a kind of majesty. Somehow, Liu Ling felt that they had the chance to take back Beiling with the infanta.
Thinking of this, Liu Ling quickly responded, "Yes, Your Highness. You must take care."
"I know. Now, it is not safe to put the card on me. You bring it back to Beiling first, so that my aunt can rest assured. Soon I will take the other half of the treasure map to Beiling." As she said, Yang Zijin took the card off and passed to Liu Ling.
After Liu Ling took it, he nodded. Then, he jumped out of the window and disappeared into the darkness.
After Liu Ling left, Yang Zijin lay down on the bed and pondered what he had said.
She didn't expect this matter to be involved with so many people. She had suspected Li Mingzi and Chushi Weiming before, but she couldn't find a good reason. Now it seemed that Li Mingzi was related to the death of Princess Royal.
After she helped her aunt regain Beiling, she would let these people pay the price.
Thinking about this, Yang Zijin fell asleep unconsciously. When she woke up, the day broke, and she sat up from the bed.
Shuo Ling opened the door and walked in. He saw Yang Zijin sitting on the bed and said, "Get up. Hurry up to pack. We will arrive in Jiandu today."
"Well, okay." Yang Zijin responded and got out of the bed.
Not far from this small town, they saw the traces of being washed by the flood. There might be some distance far away from Jiandu, so it was less affected by the flood.
Then they walked forward. Suddenly, Yang Zijin, resting in the carriage, heard the children crying, so she sat up, quickly opened the curtains, and looked outside.
She saw a woman looked pale, holding a baby in her arms. The baby in her arms was crying with hunger. Then, she saw the woman bit her finger and put the bitten finger into the baby's mouth.
