When Qin Xiaoyao saw that Princess Xiangyang did not object, she felt a little more at ease.
“Everyone has his own style, and my style is different from yours. Besides, Young Master Liu is different from my husband.
“If you follow my method, it may backfire,” Qin Xiaoyao continued.
Princess Xiangyang was surprised.
After thinking for a while, she looked at Qin Xiaoyao with some suspicion.
When she saw Qin Xiaoyao’s serious expression, she felt that her master did not seem to be bluffing her.
Hence, she nodded.
Qin Xiaoyao instantly heaved a sigh of relief.
She felt very relieved inwardly that she was fortunate enough to fool Princess Xiangyang successfully.
Anyway, the Emperor’s birthday was just around the corner.
At that juncture, when the big matter was accomplished, Empress Jia would fall from power, and Liu Ling’s true identity would be revealed.
That girl Xiangyang could still choose again.
“Alright. In that case, leave this matter to me.
“Go and rest first. After resting, return to your Princess’s residence tomorrow.
“When I have news, I will send someone to inform you,” Qin Xiaoyao said as she helped Princess Xiangyang back to bed.
Princess Xiangyang did not refuse her master’s help.
However, she still vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
“How long will it take?”
“Also, how do 1 know whether you have really helped me liaise with Young Master Liu?” She turned her head and asked Qin Xiaoyao.
Qin Xiaoyao’s eyes flickered slightly. She thought to herself that what she had just experienced was probably a deluded impression. This girl was not easy to fool after all.
“One month,” Qin Xiaoyao quickly replied.
“Wait for me for a month. After a month, even if I can’t soften Young Master
Liu’s heart, I will still send someone to inform you.”
Princess Xiangyang was silent.
Then, she counter-proposed, “Half a month.”
When she saw Qin Xiaoyao frowning, Princess Xiangyang added, “One month is too long. Half a month is enough.”
“If after half a month, Master still can’t help me persuade Young Master Liu, I will think of another way.”
Qin Xiaoyao pondered for a while.
Half a month later, it was coincidentally the Emperor’s birthday.
Hence, Qin Xiaoyao agreed to the request. “Deal!”
Princess Xiangyang’s eyes lit up with joy at once.
“I just know that Master dotes on me the most!” Following that, she leaned her head on Qin Xiaoyao’s shoulder.
Qin Xiaoyao glanced at Princess Xiangyang and finally sent her to bed.
Then, she helped the girl lie down and tucked the girl in.
“Have a good sleep. Tomorrow, it will be a new day,” Qin Xiaoyao comforted her.
“Mm-hnim,” Princess Xiangyang answered obediently and closed her eyes.
Qin Xiaoyao then left.
After leaving the guest room, she returned to her own courtyard.
In the blink of an eye, it was late at night.
In the bedroom, Qin Xiaoyao, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened her eyes.
Then, she got out of bed and changed into a suit of black night-travel clothing. She even covered her face, revealing only her eyes.
Then, she went out and quickly melded into the night.
Along the way, Qin Xiaoyao leaped over roofs and walls at an extremely fast speed.
She darted into the prefectural magistrate’s residence like a phantom.
As she hid on a beam, Qin Xiaoyao began to recall the topographic map her husband had given her.
Coupled with the situation laid out before her eyes, Qin Xiaoyao was able to determine her location quickly.
Then, she began to follow the topographic map in her mind and sneaked all the way to the prefectural magistrate’s courtyard.
After that, she sneaked into Prefectural Magistrate Liu’s room.
Under the dim moonlight, Qin Xiaoyao saw clearly that Lord Liu wasn’t the only one lying on the bed. There was also a woman dressed in skimpy clothes.
As she swept her gaze around the room, Qin Xiaoyao felt that it would be a little difficult for her to search on her own.
It was better to ask for it directly. It was more practical.
Thus, she revealed the dagger in her sleeve..
