"If I am using heaven's secrets for personal gain, of course there will be retribution. But, Prince Baili, how come you are so sure that I am seeking personal gain? And not for the sake of the world's righteousness?"
"Is it really for the sake of justice?"
Baili Hengtian looked into Ye Xingyue's eyes and wanted to see the depths of her soul.
Her eyes are clear and translucent, so she is not a cunning person, but it seems that she is not a cunning person. He doesn't know Ye Xingyue at all, so how can he cooperate with her?
It's too risky, it's too risky.
"If Prince Baili doesn't believe me, you can continue to observe me. Don't just listen to what I say, but see what I do!
"I'm not in a hurry, haste makes waste, I understand this. I can wait until you truly believe in me, and then we can cooperate again.
"I am frankly confessing everything to you today in the hope that we can shorten the time for us to gain trust and stop guessing."
Baili Hengtian was surprised, "Why don't you cooperate with the Crown Prince? Don't you cooperate with His Highness the Third Highness? Or am I just one of your collaborators?"
"only you."
Ye Xingyue looked at Baili Hengtian firmly.
"Reason, why did you choose me?"
"It's very simple. If anyone can protect me, it's you. Therefore, the prince did not send his personal guards to protect me. He asked you to protect me.
"Because he believes in your ability and even more so in your loyalty to him.
"It's just that there are many things that the prince doesn't know, and he can't do anything about. Because, in the chaos of the world, all of us are just pawns in the overall situation of the world.
"And there is only one person in charge of the throne. That person is not the prince, let alone His Highness the Third Highness."
Baili Hengtian said, "Who is that? Could it be me?"
Baili Hengtian didn't dare to think that it could be him, because he was just the prince of Zhenbei.
"In a year, you will know the answer."
"One year?"
"Yes, one year. Let time tell you the answer. So you don't have to listen to what I say. You should see, feel, listen and make your own decision."
"Ye Xingyue, you are so interesting. If you were a liar, I believe you would be the most powerful liar in the world."
Hearing footsteps, someone was coming. Baili Hengtian couldn't stay any longer. It would be bad if someone found him in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
He gave Ye Xingyue a whistle and said, "When there is danger, blow it."
"Are you going to show up? Are you nearby?"
"I will arrange for personal guards to be nearby."
It's not like he has nothing to do and is guarding her all day long. Besides, where does she have the courage to let him, the Prince of Zhenbei, protect her personally?
…
After Baili Hengtian left, someone pushed the door open and entered.
It's a few women.
And Ye Xingyue had already put on her clothes.
These women looked evil and looked like they were coming with bad intentions.
She looked at the domineering mother-in-law with a cold expression, "I am taking a bath, what do you mean by suddenly barging in? Is this the rule of the prime minister's house?"
The leader, Mrs. Jia, reluctantly saluted, "Excuse me... eldest lady. We saw many venomous snakes slipping into Dongyuan from Nanyuan. Dongyuan is where the second lady lives. The eldest lady is going to let the venomous snakes bite her."
Second lady?"
Oh, this is the villain who chose to file a complaint.
Ye Xingyue sneered, "I'm still wondering why there are so many venomous snakes in Nanyuan? When I was taking a bath just now, a venomous snake climbed up the tub and I was almost bitten.
"This kind of venomous snake is very venomous. Just one bite will kill you instantly.
"I still want to ask, did the Prime Minister's Mansion welcome me in this way just after I came back? Who did I offend? I want to die like this."
