C25 Competent Helper

"That's only natural. If my mother was still alive, how could the title of number one have fallen on her head?" Xin Cangqu smiled coldly, drank a few more mouthfuls of wine, then ordered, "There is still a month until the day of Mother's death. Send a reply to Ah Wang, Ah Gui, and I will set off in a few days."

"Yes." Bai Shuo replied, feeling uneasy again. "Prince Chuan knows that Lord Cang will return at this time of year to pay respects to Lady. This time, the people from Black and White House are gathered at Tianyu City, probably to deal with you."

Xin Cangqu snorted. "Isn't it always like this in the past years?" If he were to be honest, it would seem strange to me. "

"Lord Cang, bring along your subordinate and shadow."

The moment Bai Shuo opened her mouth, she was stopped by Xin Cangqu's jade fan. "There's no need.

"But …" Bai Shuo was about to say more, but when she met his cold and devilish gaze, she involuntarily shut her mouth.

"Don't worry. This time, I will bring a capable helper with me."

"A capable helper?" Bai Shuo had a puzzled expression on her face.

"Go down and deliver the message." Xin Cangqu waved her hand again before raising the wine pot and starting to drink again.

Seeing this, Bai Shuo could only shake her head helplessly. It seemed that Lord Cang would have to sleep here again tonight.

It was ten o'clock in the morning. The faint silver moon was still embedded in the grayish-white sky as it looked down at the red-clothed gongzi with a wistful gaze.

Bai Shuo, who hadn't slept for the entire night, slowly opened the door and walked towards the pavilion within the mansion. Even after thinking for an entire night, she still hadn't been able to guess who the helper Xin Cangqu mentioned was.

Bai Shuo looked at Xin Cangqu, who was still sleeping soundly in the pavilion, and took out another cloak. Carefully putting it on, she picked up the empty wine jug on the ground and gently took a step back.

With Xin Cangqu's cultivation level, even if she fell asleep, she could feel someone approaching her. However, he didn't pay attention to her and only muttered a "don't be noisy". He fell asleep again without even opening his eyes.

When it was time for breakfast, Bai Shuo went to the pavilion again after she had finished preparing her meal. Seeing that Xin Cangqu had not woken up yet, since she did not dare to go up and disturb him, she could only withdraw.

When it was late in the morning, Bai Shuo came to take another look, but the result was still the same.

Bai Shuo walked out of the pavilion, pouting as she walked along the corridor. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Bai Shuo's eyes immediately lit up. She was just worried that she wouldn't be able to wake Lord Cang up, so she quickly returned to the pavilion. "Lord Cang, there is."

Before she could finish her words, Xin Cangqu said in a daze, "Go open the door!"

"Huh?" Bai Shuo froze for a moment. If it wasn't too coincidental, she would have thought her master was talking in his sleep.

"Ah what? "To open the door." Xin Cangqu repeated herself, but she still did not open her eyes.

"Lord Cang, they must be causing trouble again. Do you want to leave first?" Bai Shuo asked for instructions.

"No need, the helper that Ben told you to help out last night is here. Hurry up and open the door." Xin Cangqu slowly opened her eyes and stretched her back.

"Ugh …" "Yes!" "Okay." Bai Shuo nodded, as if she understood something. She turned around and walked out of the pavilion.

"Wait." Xin Cangqu suddenly called out to her.

"Is there anything else, Lord Cang?" Bai Shuo turned around and asked.

"Just bring him here!"

"Yes sir!"

Soon, they saw Bai Shuo leading Kunwu Jiongnuo and Shi Dongdu to the pavilion while carrying a bunch of gift boxes.

"Lord Cang!" Bai Shuo nodded her head in greeting, and seeing Xin Cangqu nod her head in acknowledgement, she left.

Xin Cangqu shook her head and said with a smile: "I didn't know that Prince Jiong had arrived, I'm sorry to have missed you!"

"Prince Lin has been in the Kunwu for five years. This king has only come to pay a visit today. I hope you don't mind." Kunwu Jiongnuo also smiled back.

"It has always been others who brought gifts to meet Prince Jiong. I'm sure Prince Jiong has never been so condescending before. This one truly has the highest honor. How could I blame you?" Xin Cangqu's eyes flashed with a strange light. She waved her hand and invited him into the pavilion.

"Dongdu, you can take your leave first." Kunwu Jiongnuo instructed and walked into the pavilion.

"Yes sir!" Shi Dongdu glanced at Xin Cangqu warily before taking his leave.

A moment later, Bai Shuo served tea.

Kunwu Jiongnuo looked around and his cold gaze finally landed on Xin Cangqu. "Is Lord Cang prepared to entertain This King here?"

"Of course, this Wu Steel Manor can't compare to Prince Jiong's Golden Palace Jade Palace. If Prince Jiong feels unsightly, he can move somewhere else." Xin Cangqu smiled indifferently.

"As the legitimate son of the Royal Family, the master of Celestial Ravine, living in this kind of place, I have indeed wronged Lord Cang." Kunwu Jiongnuo sat down with a smile. Apparently, he had no intention of leaving.

"After all, this place isn't a Tianyu City, and it isn't a Celestial Ravine either. Xin Cangqu also sat down across from him and said meaningfully.

"Could it be that Lord Cang misses his homeland?" Kunwu Jiongnuo shook his jade fan and looked at Xin Cangqu with a smile that was not a smile.

'Could it be that Prince Jiong didn't miss me … "Prince Li, who is far above the other countries in terms of quality?" Xin Cangqu asked instead of answering, smiling strangely.

Speaking of this Prince Li, his position in the Kunwu was not much better than Xin Cangqu's.

Everyone knew that Emoeror of Kunwu was also a kind of love type. The feelings between him and the Yan Empress could be said to be comparable to the Xin Jiuxiao and the Lan Empress at the beginning. And this Yan Queen was the mother of Kunwu Jiongnuo and Kunwu Liyuan. Logically speaking, these two brothers were originally of the same mother, so their treatment should be the same. But why was Kunwu Jing Heng so biased?

Kunwu Jiongnuo was the eldest son of Kunwu Jing Heng and had lived for forty-six years. When he was born, Master Hua Kong had also personally come to the Kunyang City, so his identity as a King was decided from the moment he was born.

But Tianshuo 48 years, when Kunwu Liyuan was born, because of difficult childbirth, Yan Empress died. Therefore, although Kunwu Liyuan was the direct descendant, one, he wasn't the eldest son, and two, Kunwu, Jing Heng, had placed all of the pain of losing his beloved on him.

Therefore, all these years, were it not for Kunwu Jiongnuo's protection, Kunwu Liyuan would have long since followed his mother.

Kunwu Liyuan tried to curry favor with his father, hoping to get forgiveness. However, not only did Kunwu Jing Heng ignore him, he even hated him to the extreme. If it wasn't for Kunwu Jiongnuo, he would have already been tortured to death.

Kunwu Jiongnuo had always believed that the death of the empress was due to the responsibility of Kunwu. Since a young age, he had always been against Kunwu Jing Heng, but no matter how much he went overboard, Kunwu Jing Heng still allowed him to live.

If one were to say that the only person who would make the deceased beauty feel gratified was the two brothers. The two of them had been living together ever since they were children. Their relationship was deep, and they viewed each other as the most important. This was also the reason why Xin Cangqu wanted to talk about Kunwu Liyuan.
