The death of Sihua did not shock too many people. Even Ye Lin sent someone to spread the news. Ye Lin just said "good burial" and did not say anything more. However, no one knew that in a separate courtyard of the Shizi Mansion, a woman was listening to the death of Sihua with a smile.

"Madam, if we are found by the son, I'm afraid..." The maid's voice sounded a little awkward. Looking at the woman sitting on the main seat with a small cup of wine tasting, her eyes were a little erratic.

"Discovered by the son of the world? Oh, Nishang, do you really think the son of the world doesn't know anything? I'm afraid that before we take action, he has insight into our purpose. Since he doesn't stop it from happening, how can he pursue it afterwards? The woman's voice was soft and beautiful, as if with a faint smile, like the breeze blowing through the bamboo forest.

"However, if Princess Xijing finds the prince..." The maid, who was called Nishang, always felt a little uneasy, and the carefully pinched corner of her clothes still said uneasily.

"Shut up!" Before Nishang's words were finished, the woman in the seat suddenly patted the table and interrupted Nishang's words. Even her voice was much more majestic. She stared at Nishang like a warning and said, "Don't say something that is rotten in your heart. Be careful of your life!"

Seeing that Nishang trembled and seemed to be afraid, the woman slowly softened: "I'll ask you again, where is Princess Xijing?"

Nishang was stunned and quickly reacted. Now the whereabouts of Princess Xijing is a secret. If they accidentally leak this matter to people, I'm afraid that this will really attract the punishment of the prince! The more she thought about it, the more scared she became. She could only reply tremblingly, "In...in her own courtyard..."

"Why did Sihua die?" The woman didn't say anything about Nishang's words, but she continued to ask patiently. She looked at Nishang fixedly, as if she wanted to think about every expression of her carefully.

"I don't know, but I just heard some rumors." Nishangqiang calmed down and said, but he kept looking down and did not dare to look at the woman's expression until the woman said faintly after a long time, "Very good. When others ask, how to answer? Think about it for me." Only then did Nishang dare to really raise her head.

The woman sighed slowly, and then put down the wine cup in her hand. There seemed to be a smile on the corners of her lips, but when she looked closely, she felt that the smile was very indifferent. I don't know whether it was for Nis clothes or to say to herself: "It's what he wants to kill Sihua. If he can't do it, let me do it. He doesn't want to Be a bad person in front of her, then I will be the one!"

Nishang looked at his wife with a complicated expression and couldn't help shaking her head secretly: "Madam is too affectionate to the world. In this kind of house, I think it's better for my wife to recognize the situation."

The woman sneered and said, "Recognize the situation? Oh, I recognize it well! From the time I lost everything, I knew that I couldn't catch that person's heart! But... Fortunately, I can still seize the power! Therefore, I want to make him feel that he owes me, and I want him to hold all his best in front of me!"

It was obviously such a fierce tone, but I don't know why Nishang sensed a trace of sadness.

Bai Xijing saw Ye Lin again on the second day after his death. Ye Lin came in a hurry and was not as leisurely as before. Bai Xijing narrowed his eyes slightly. Although Ye Lin hadn't said anything, he also roughly guessed what had happened. I guess it was related to Ye Wang's condition.

Although he is the son of the world, the current situation in the State of Ye can be said to be quiet before the storm. King Ye must not lose until everything is ready. Now she is under house arrest, and the news can't reach her at all, and she doesn't know whether the things she bothered to arrange have had the effect she wanted.

Although his heart turned thousands of times, Bai Xijing's face was with a shallow smile. Looking at Ye Lin sitting on the other side of the little table opposite her, it showed that Qin poured a cup of tea for Ye Lin and handed it to him, "Looking that you look very tired, why do you still want to come here?"

Bai Xijing did have a smile on his face, but there was a sense of alienation in his voice.

Ye Lin, who obviously wanted to tighten the distance between her and left her by this method. Looking at her now, I don't know why she was a little bitter in her heart. He sighed slowly and then said, "I just want to see you."

Bai Xijing smiled and said nothing, and his slender white index finger gently slid across the edge of the teacup in his hand, which seemed to have no reaction to his words.

Ye Lin frowned slightly and wanted to say something, but he obviously wanted to say so much, but when he saw the alienation under her smiling face, he didn't know what to say was right. The more he cares, the more he doesn't know how to speak. He is obviously comfortable with everyone, but why is he so clumsy with her?

Seeing that Ye Lin had been silent, a smile suddenly appeared on the corners of Bai Xijing's lips: "There is one thing that I don't know if the world has any news?"

"What's the matter?"

"The death of Sihua, son, do you have nothing to say?" Bai Xijing's eyes looked fixedly at Ye Lin. His eyes were black and bottomless, even a little flimping, and the smile at the corners of his lips was a little solemn.

Ye Lin frowned at Bai Xijing: "Do you doubt me? If I do it, I'm sure you won't get the news of her death. How can it be so obvious!" I don't like Bai Xijing's eyes, and Ye Lin's face became a little ugly.

"Yes, this is true, but this is not a means, is it? Because everyone believes that the words of the son will never get things to such a point, it is not impossible to do it deliberately. Bai Xijing seemed to be unaware of Ye Lin's face and told the truth.

"Bai Xijing!" Ye Lin patted Xiaoji and stood up: "Do you want to make me angry?"

"It's just a casual talk. Why is the son of the world so stingy?" Bai Xijing said faintly.

"..." Ye Lin found that he seemed to be pushing her farther and farther away step by step. He didn't want to do this, but he didn't know how to catch the heart of the woman in front of him. What happened between them to get to this point? Even if there were all kinds of incomprehension at the beginning, the atmosphere would not be so awkward.

What went wrong?

"Even if it's not done by the son, I'm afraid it has nothing to do with the son, right? The son of the world really doesn't know anything? Seeing Ye Lin's silence, Bai Xijing did not intend to forget it and said again.

Ye Lin was angry and blurted out unhappily, "Does it have anything to do with you? It's just a little maidservant, but she still betrayed you. Have you forgotten how she treated you?

As soon as this word came out, the room suddenly fell into silence, and Siqin, who had been serving Bai Xijing, suddenly turned pale. After a pair of eyes faintly glanced at Ye Lin, she stared at Bai Xijing with hatred.

But because she has been standing behind Bai Xijing, Bai Xijing can't see her movements at all. However, although her eyes changed quickly, they still let Ye Lin, who was sitting opposite, capture the resentful look.

Ye Lin was suddenly stunned and looked at Siqin fixedly, afraid that Siqin would do something. However, except for that look just now, Siqin stood aside respectfully, as if the person who had just shown such a look was not her at all.

Ye Lin narrowed her eyes slightly and still looked at Siqin, her eyes getting sharper and sharper. But he didn't want Bai Xijing to see this scene and couldn't help saying, "Why did the son look straight at my maidservant?" I don't want Siqin to do anything."

Ye Lin didn't like Bai Xijing's insinuation, but did not immediately say what he saw.

Bai Xijing seems to maintain Siqin very much. If she doesn't want to break her heart, I'm afraid only...

Thinking of this, Ye Lin sighed slightly: "Siqin can't stay with you anymore."

"What do you mean?" Bai Xijing looked at Ye Lin with caution.

Ye Lin didn't say in detail, "Are you worried that I will kill her? I'm not that bored yet." There was a trace of sarcasm in Ye Lin's voice, and the expression on his face showed that he was very unhappy now.

Bai Xijing hadn't spoken yet, but Siqin suddenly knelt down: "Siqin is the slave of the princess. She just wants to stay with the princess and serve the world wholeheartedly."

"No!" What a dedicated service, if you really have a heart, how can you show such a look at your master? Ye Lin categorically denied it.

"If I can't serve the princess, I would rather die here." After saying that, Siqin quickly got up and looked at the wall rushing up and was about to hit it, but Ye Lin found that she had confirmed Bai Xijing's face before starting, as if she was deliberately showing it to her, and she was calculating whether Bai Xijing would stop her.

Ye Lin suddenly felt disgusted with this kind of scheming slave. Suddenly, he got up and grabbed Siqin and threw her on the ground and fell, but he didn't look at her. He just looked at Bai Xijing and said, "Do you remember your deal with me? You said you would be obedient."

Bai Xijing was stunned for a moment and was about to object, but Ye Lin said first, "Don't say that this is two different things, or I can't guarantee that she and Du Kang can still see the sun tomorrow!"

The vicious threat made Bai Xijing frown. Ye Lin thought she was embarrassed, but she didn't expect Bai Xijing to say in a faint tone, "Even if I don't say so, they won't see the sun tomorrow."

"..." Ye Lin suddenly found that he was sometimes incompetent to communicate with Bai Xijing.
