Not long after Dong Guojin left the princess's room, someone knocked on the door of the princess's room again.
Nami was looking at herself carefully in front of the dressing mirror. When she heard the knock on the door, she responded softly: "Come in."
The person who came was Ling Si, who still maintained his usual indifference.
When Nami saw this man, she immediately changed her position and looked at him with a frown.
Ling Si did not speak, but looked around quietly, and finally set his sights on the chessboard near the window.
Ling Si walked to the chessboard step by step, with a chill in his eyes.
Nami didn't know what he was thinking and was too wary to speak out.
Ling Si put his hand on the chessboard and wiped it gently, feeling that the chessboard had been covered with a thin layer of dust.
Then he put his fingers that had brushed against the chessboard in front of his eyes, gently twirled the fine sand on his fingertips, and glanced at Nami: "It's been a long time since you've played chess?"
"Yeah." Nami responded softly.
"A person who loves chess so much has actually left the chessboard aside. I'm curious about what you are thinking about these days."
"I...what can I think about?" Nami looked a little nervous.
Ling Si turned around, walked directly in front of Nami, pinched her chin unceremoniously, and whispered: "Smile!"
Ling Si had a commanding tone, but his words left Nami a little confused.
"Huh?" Nami exclaimed softly.
"Smile!" Ling Si's tone suddenly became more serious, and his hands became stronger, squeezing Nami's chin a little painfully.
Nami frowned and tried hard to shake off Lingsi's hand.
After a few seconds, Lingsi finally let go of his hand and looked at Nami seriously.
Nami was a little frightened by his gaze, but thinking about what he just said, she could only try to regain her composure, and then smiled seriously.
Looking at Nami's smile, Lingsi nodded, but also frowned, and said: "It's very good, I feel more and more like Miss Yoshiko. In just a few days, you can actually
From an iceberg beauty to a soft beauty like Miss Yoshiko, you really put your heart into playing the role of a princess."
"This...this is what subordinates should do."
"you are so
Seriously, are you thinking that one day you will really replace Yoshiko and become the princess?"
As he spoke, Lingsi's expression became serious, and he pinched Yoshiko's chin fiercely, his expression becoming more ferocious.
Nami instantly felt the unbearable pain and almost burst into tears: "Let me go, you... you hurt me."
"Remember! You are always a humble slave. You can never become a real princess, and you can never become a lady! Everything you do is just wishful thinking!"
"Let go...it hurts! I just want to play this role...slave...slave has never..."
"Da da da..." The knock on the door came again, and the voice from outside was Haruta Sakura: "Is your highness the princess here?"
Another voice came, and the conversation between the two came to an end.
Ling Si took back his hand, glared at Nami fiercely, then turned to the door and opened it.
Springfield looked a little surprised when he saw Lingsi: "Lingsi, it turns out you are inside."
"Ms. Springfield." Lingsi simply said hello and then left the room.
Springfield glanced at Ling Si's back for a few seconds, then walked into the room, closed the door, and asked with concern: "He didn't make things difficult for you, did he? Nami..."
Nami wiped her tears, shook her head, her previous weakness gradually turned into coldness, and whispered: "One day, he will understand that I, Nami, am not a slave."
Haruta glanced at Nami up and down. He was not surprised at her current changes. Instead, he showed a serious expression and whispered: "The prince has agreed to your conditions. We will help you become a real princess.
From now on, you will use your identity to support the prince in seizing the imperial power. No one will look down on you again."
Nami shook her head: "You know, what I care about is not such a promise. If you want to become a real princess, you must find the fake princess and deal with it."
"I have already checked. The reason why Lingsi has never been able to find out where the real princess is is because he has always focused on Xia Shang. But I heard Xia Shang mentioned to me that he has no idea where the princess is hiding.
He really doesn't know.
So no matter how Lingsi checks, there will be no information about the real princess around Xia Shang. Xia Shang
Very cunning, he probably knew that someone would start from him to search for information about the real princess, so from the beginning he never asked where the real princess had gone.
So much so that after he was controlled by the wizard, the wizard could not find any memory about the hiding place of the real princess from his memory. The only possibility now is that he handed over the real princess to someone he completely trusted and knew the real princess.
The princess is not Xia Shang, but the most trusted person around Xia Shang.
With this judgment in mind, I then turned my attention to the people around Xia Shang, and I soon gained something."
"A harvest?!" Nami was shocked.
Springfield looked around, then closed the window and whispered: "I have met that person, his name is Chunjiao, he is very powerful in kung fu, he is also the most powerful grandmaster in the legend of Dahua. He is also the leader of the most secret organization of the Dahua court.
, has a lot of power. She is also one of the most trusted people in Xia Shang. Only she may have secretly hidden the princess, and this person must know the whereabouts of the real princess."
"Since she is such a dangerous person, will it be difficult to get the whereabouts of the real princess from her?"
"Don't worry, since we want to reach a cooperation, we will naturally show our sincerity before doing so. Everything has been arranged. Soon Lingsi will get the news, and he will also know that the real princess will be controlled by the woman named Chunjiao
At that time, Lingsi will take action personally. As long as Lingsi takes action personally, it will be easy to control that woman. As long as we have control of that woman, we will always have a way to get the information about the real princess."
…
At the same time, Xia Shangzheng, as the representative of the Ministry of Household Affairs, led the Xiao family to choose a house in the capital.
The Xiao family borrowed 1.4 million taels from the national treasury and were honored guests of the imperial court.
Now we have reached a cooperation agreement with the imperial court and decided to invest in the capital and start business.
The Xiao family is planning to develop in the capital for a long time, so naturally they cannot live in an inn like before.
Xia Shang and everyone in the Xiao family have been shopping around for a whole morning, looking at Changming Street, where the Xia Mansion is located, but there is no suitable house for sale.
The servants of the Xiao family have all noticed that their eldest daughter is obsessed with Mr. Xia and wants to settle down next to the Xia Mansion. Unfortunately, she failed to do so and is now depressed.
