"Miss, this is not important. Then please go with your subordinates to see Mr. Buran."
This guard was smart and didn't say anything nonsense. He raised his hand and invited Bai Lingyue to come in.
Bai Lingyue was not polite and followed him into the Regent's Palace with Xiao Taohong.
The Prince Regent's Mansion looks very luxurious from the outside, and even more inside, with all kinds of rare flowers and plants, unique pavilions and pavilions, and the sound of gurgling water. Although it is not very real, Bai Lingyue can feel that the Prince Regent is really... He is as indulgent and willful as the legend says.
Arriving at the door of a quiet courtyard, the guard knocked gently and asked who was inside. He immediately answered, "The eldest lady of the Bai family."
After saying that, there was no movement inside. The guard smiled and said to Bai Lingyue: "Miss Bai, I can only send you here. The rest of the way is up to you."
After saying that, they left. Bai Lingyue found out that what the guard said was a bit strange. What does it mean to walk the rest of the way by yourself? She has always walked her own way, right?
After waiting for a cup of tea, someone came out and opened the door. It was a handsome-looking boy.
"Miss Bai, please follow the younger one."
After walking in the yard for a while, I came to the front hall, where a tall man wearing a light blue gown was already standing.
"Miss Bai, please." After the boy said this, he disappeared.
"Young Master Buran." Bai Lingyue saluted the figure from behind.
"It's not him, it's me." The man turned around, and the golden mask on his face shone brightly under the light. This was actually the regent Xiao Mingxian.
"My daughter has met the prince." As she said this, Bai Lingyue made a move to kneel down, but was supported by Xiao Mingxian.
"No gift."
After saying that, Xiao Mingxian sat at the main seat and raised his hand to signal Bai Lingyue to sit under him. Soon someone brought her tea.
This regent is not as ruthless as the legend says! Bai Lingyue just thought this, and she would regret her thoughts later.
"Why did Miss Bai come to see me?" Xiao Mingxian took a sip of tea and asked lightly.
Bai Lingyue adjusted her breathing, and then said: "Your Majesty, I have something to ask of you, but now that I see the prince, I will be bold.
Please ask the prince to lend me some manpower, as well as those with the emblem of the prince's palace. "
Bai Lingyue said straight to the point.
"Aren't you afraid of getting involved with me? Do you want to lose your reputation?" Xiao Mingxian asked.
His reputation in the capital was not good, and no girl dared to have a relationship with him. He kindly reminded Bai Lingyue not to act out of emotion.
"My lord, do you think my daughter still has a reputation in the capital? Are you afraid of getting involved with anyone? As long as the prince doesn't dislike her, my daughter is willing to go through fire and water for him."
Today is a good time to express determination to the regent, and Bai Lingyue must seize this opportunity.
After she finished speaking, she looked at Xiao Mingxian with a pair of clear and transparent eyes. Xiao Mingxian's sharp eagle-like eyes also revealed a scrutinizing light from the mask.
The two looked at each other for a while before Xiao Mingxian chuckled.
"Hmph, you are quite cunning for a little girl. Apart from your bad reputation, you will not lose anything by following me. I will have to put in a lot of energy for you.
I am not a person who can suffer losses, and anyone can shout slogans. "
Xiao Mingxian is indeed a powerful person, how could he do a losing business?
"Your Majesty, there is a mountain called Qingshan around the capital. On the front mountain of Qingshan is Qingshan Temple, which is a royal temple.
But does the prince know the secret of the mountain behind Qingshan? "
Bai Lingyue was prepared. If she wanted to cooperate with Xiao Mingxian, people wouldn't buy it unless there was something substantial.
Xiao Mingxian and Mr. Buran are different.
Sure enough, Xiao Mingxian's eyes shrank when he heard Bai Lingyue talk about the secret of the mountains behind Qingshan.
There has always been a legend in the back mountain of Qingshan that there is some kind of treasure, but many people who have gone there have not discovered what kind of treasure there is.
Several big families in the capital are also interested in Qingshan, especially the prince Murong Yun, who wants to get those things.
However, he did not ask further questions, but waited until Bai Lingyue couldn't help but tell him.
When Bai Lingyue saw that Xiao Mingxian stopped talking, she knew that this old fox was indeed very powerful. What could she do? He ate more salt than she ate rice. With so much experience, she would not be his opponent even if she was reborn.
When she was dying in her previous life, she seemed to have heard that the prince and the regent were fighting, and she died before she heard who was the loser.
"Now the prince is also looking for the secret behind Qingshan. Many people are saying that it contains gold and silver jewelry left by the defeated army of the previous dynasty.
In fact, it is not true. I once heard a wandering Taoist priest say something like this: Mountains are not mountains, fog is not fog, and those who have a heart for all the people in the world can get it.
At that time, I didn't understand what it meant, and I only figured it out recently. It meant that only people like the prince could get the things in the mountains behind the mountains. "
Speaking of this, Bai Lingyue took another sip of tea, but Xiao Mingxian still drank the tea lightly, as if he was not very interested in what she was talking about.
Helpless, Bai Lingyue could only speak again.
"Your Majesty, I think Shanfeishan does not mean there are ready-made treasures. Could it be that those stones contain something?"
Bai Lingyue couldn't make it too obvious. She knew that there were gold and copper mines in the mountains. Later, she was discovered and told the prince. The prince had money and connections and was able to defeat the other princes.
To get to that position, you must have an economic foundation.
"How many people do you want?" Xiao Mingxian didn't listen anymore. He already knew what Bai Lingyue meant. His people also went to the back mountain of Qingshan to search for her. They didn't miss every cave, but they still returned without success.
Hearing Bai Lingyue's words, he suddenly realized.
"Your Majesty has many elite soldiers and generals. I just want thirty." Bai Lingyue was so happy that she forgot to call herself a courtier.
However, Xiao Mingxian didn't argue with her and agreed immediately.
After coming out of the Prince Regent's Palace, Bai Lingyue felt that her toes were sweaty. She was so nervous when she was talking to the Prince Regent just now.
I'm really afraid that I might offend this man by accident.
She stood at the door of the palace and adjusted her breath again, when suddenly someone spoke softly behind her.
"Please give way."
Bai Lingyue ducked instinctively and saw two men dragging a sack into the Regent's Palace.
Under the moonlight, she saw a bloody mark on the ground. This regent... was not as kind as she thought!
