Chapter 438 Don't even think about using your sweet words to fool this prince.
Yin Ruyu looked on in agreement.
"However, the beauty has passed away, and there is nothing worth cherishing. The most important thing is to focus on the present." The Empress Dowager's face remained expressionless.
For her, Xie Xing's death was merely a regret that she no longer had a good pawn to carry on the family line.
Her death was insignificant.
Even the Empress Dowager felt that Xie Xing's death was a good thing, since he knew so many secrets.
Yin Ruyu smiled slightly.
Immediately afterwards, the Empress Dowager's gaze fell on Yin Ruyu: "Ruyu, I heard that your previous illness seems to have been almost cured?"
Yin Ruyu said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I have already been cured by the divine physician."
The Empress Dowager's face lit up with a hint of joy. She smiled and said, "You look much more energetic than before."
"I see you are not young anymore. Your family sent you to the palace and specifically entrusted me with your care. I suppose you must be thinking of getting married."
"Having been inside the palace for so long, have you found a prince you fancy?"
Upon hearing this, Yin Ruyu blushed deeply and said, "Ruyu does not currently have any princes in mind."
"Everything is up to Her Majesty the Empress Dowager."
The Empress Dowager was satisfied and said, "You are born into the Yin family, a powerful and noble family, and you are the eldest daughter of the main wife. Your status is noble, so I naturally cannot casually betroth you to someone else."
"With your status and appearance, only the most outstanding man in the world could be worthy of you."
When Yin Ruyu heard the Empress Dowager say this, she vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
What is this old woman trying to say?
"Although Prince Jin has recently been embroiled in some minor troubles, he is still the dream lover of many women in Shengjing. Could it be that Ruyu has feelings for Prince Jin?"
Yin Ruyu: "..."
What does this mean?
When she developed feelings for Jun Lanjin, the old woman remained completely silent.
Now that Jun Lanjin has been confined to the Cold Palace and is no longer valued by the Emperor, this old woman has come to arrange a marriage for him.
What do you take her for?
Yin Ruyu's smile was almost impossible to maintain.
She spoke stiffly, "But doesn't Prince Jin also like Xie Xing?"
"If I were to be betrothed to Prince Jin, I'm afraid he wouldn't be happy, would he?"
The Empress Dowager placed her hand on Yin Ruyu's hand: "Ruyu, with your beautiful appearance, you can make men fall in love with you with just a little bit of skill."
"If you're willing, Prince Jin will naturally fall in love with you very quickly."
Yin Ruyu: ?
So she had to seduce Prince Jin first, and only after Prince Jin fell in love with her could she marry him.
What is that old woman saying?
Yin Ruyu's smile was almost bursting out.
But she still preserved her last shred of dignity, saying, "The Xie family's daughter has just died. If I go now, I'm afraid Prince Jin will despise me from the bottom of his heart."
The Empress Dowager thought about it and agreed.
But she was in a hurry.
She wanted to put the woman carrying his child on the throne as the head of the Jun family before Jun Lanjin died.
So the Empress Dowager said, "In this way, you should go to the Cold Palace in the next few days to send some things to Prince Jin so that he will no longer reject you."
"We'll talk about what happens next later."
Yin Ruyu: "..."
What else could Yin Ruyu say? She could only smile, rise, bow to the Empress Dowager, and then silently leave.
She didn't understand what the Empress Dowager was really thinking.
They actually wanted her to seduce and please Prince Jin first.
Her biggest enemy right now is Prince Jin.
……
And the other side.
In the Cold Palace, Hua An stayed by Jun Lanjin's side and whispered, "Your Highness, we've searched the entire area around the Star-Picking Tower, even turned the ground upside down, but we still haven't found Miss Xie's location."
Jun Lanjin's expression darkened.
"Your Highness...would you..." Hua An hesitated, but was interrupted by Jun Lanjin before he could finish speaking—
"will not!"
He thought for a moment, then said coldly, "Go to the Fifth Princess's palace and find Qi Yu. Make him use the Gu worms to find the person for me!"
"Yes!"
Hua An darted out in a few moments.
Jun Lanjin was left alone on the spot.
He gazed intently into a certain spot, his eyes deep. If he had known it would turn out this way, he would have kept Xie Xing by his side from the beginning. Only by his side was he truly safe.
at this time.
Xie Xing was locked in a room by Luo Hanfeng, and the room had already been prepared.
A heavy chain was fastened to Xie Xing's feet by Luo Hanfeng. The chain rattled loudly with the slightest movement.
Xie Xing lowered his head, his eyes silently fixed on the chain around his ankle.
After a long silence, she lowered her head and began to fiddle with the chain.
"System, what do we do now? Do you have a way to open these chains?"
"I'm not the female lead, how can I play the imprisonment game with the male lead!"
Xie Xing broke down.
The system sighed: "I can't help you. Luo Hanfeng is determined to keep you locked up here. Otherwise, you can pretend to cooperate, wait for him to release you, and then escape?"
Xie Xing hesitated, "Will this really work?"
[You can't be imprisoned in this room forever, never seeing the light of day. Are you going to continue doing the mission?]
Upon hearing this, Xie Xing quickly replied, "Go ahead and do it!"
"I mean, can this really work for me?"
Xie Xing was afraid that if he made a wrong move, he would trigger Luo Hanfeng's madness.
One person and the other were discussing countermeasures in the room, unaware that someone outside the door had overheard everything.
Luo Hanfeng snorted coldly.
He pushed the door open.
Xie Xing, who was inside the house, was startled.
She turned around, her feet slightly shifting, and she heard a rustling sound.
Luo Hanfeng walked straight towards Xie Xing.
He glanced at Xie Xing and announced what he considered to be good news: "Now everyone thinks you're dead, and no one will look for you anymore."
"And no one knows that you have fallen into the hands of this prince."
Xie Xing's expression changed slightly.
She puffed out her cheeks, instinctively wanting to get angry, but remembering what the system had said, the angry expression on her face disappeared, and she just looked at Luo Hanfeng with fury: "What exactly do you want to do?"
"What are you doing?" Luo Hanfeng shook the anklet on Xie Xing's feet. "Isn't it obvious?"
Xie Xing walked over to Luo Hanfeng's side, looked down at the seated Luo Hanfeng, and said, "Unlock my chains, and let's have a good talk."
Luo Hanfeng raised his hand, pinching Xie Xing's chin with his fingers, and sneered, "Don't even think about trying to fool me with sweet words. I'm not Prince Jin, and I won't believe those sweet words."
Now, Xie Xing was truly confused.
She tilted her head, looking at Luo Hanfeng in surprise, and subconsciously asked, "How did you know?"
Of course, she loved to say sweet words to Jun Lanjin, and she couldn't stop praising him until she was completely overwhelmed.
Because of this premise, the level of favorability will gradually increase later.
Xie Xing wanted to use the same methods as Luo Hanfeng.
