Everyone Wants to Pamper the Lucky Daughter

Chapter 980: Chapter 979: This lady submits to no one, but you_1 Chapter 980: Chapter 979: This lady submits to no one, but you_1 Little Kingfisher harbored doubts: “It’s strange, no one saw the assassin’s traces. The Imperial Court investigated the matter and the attendant on duty that night insisted that it was a ghost. He said a ghost appeared and stole the Imperial Jade Seal.”

Lin Qingluo frowned slightly: “Have the birds found any clues?”

“The mystery lies here.”

Little Kingfisher was puzzled: “The birds didn’t notice anyone else entering the sleeping quarters during the time the Jade Seal disappeared, other than the Prime Minister and the attendant.”

“Perhaps they concealed their traces.”

Lin Qingluo, with her meticulous mind, grasped the key in an instant: “It might be a cultivator who sneaked into the Imperial Palace and stole the seal.”

“Could it be the person who took the Noble Lord away?”

Little Kingfisher speculated: “One of the two state preceptors hired by the Beiqi Monarch at a high price, who stole the seal and deliberately caused chaos in the Fengqi court.”

“It’s possible.”

Lin Qingluo pondered the likelihood, her eyebrows knit tight: “However, the Empress is awake now. Whether she has the seal or not doesn’t matter much, her words are still royal edicts. Stealing the seal doesn’t pose a substantive threat to her.”

“Duanhui is a different story.”

Little Kingfisher gloated: “The Imperial Succession Jade Seal is lost, without an official edict of succession, even if she ascends to the throne, it would be illegitimate.”

“What’s the current situation in Capital City?”

Lin Qingluo, not caring for a naive and ignorant young girl, didn’t want to waste time on her and swiftly changed the subject.

“The Prime Minister has not yet recovered from the poisoning, and the Empress did not command a search of the Prime Minister’s Mansion.”

Little Kingfisher answered truthfully: “She only dismissed him from his post. His two sons are still leading the Imperial Guards and the Security Battalion.”

Lin Qingluo scoffed: “By doing this, the Empress is essentially nurturing a tiger that will cause trouble.”

“The Empress looks very ill, like she’s burned out and doesn’t have much time left.”

Little Kingfisher spoke truthfully: “Perhaps she realizes that she won’t last much longer, which is why she didn’t deal with the Prime Minister’s two sons. She lets them assist Duanhui, reinforcing the Crown Princess’s position.”

“Keep an eye on her.”

Lin Qingluo’s eyes were cold: “She is determined to pave the way for Duanhui before her death, and will certainly clear the obstacles for her. Once she finds out that the Duke of Zhen’s family has moved out and Grandpa is no longer in the mansion, I don’t know what crazy things she might do.”

“Even if she sends troops to wipe out the canyon, I’m not afraid.”

Little Kingfisher was extremely arrogant: “With me here, they will not return.”

“We’re not afraid of a fight, but we fear involving the innocent.”

Lin Qingluo’s eyebrows were tightly knit: “The villagers of Woniu Village and the surrounding area will be the first to be affected.”

“It’s alright, just let them all escape into the mountains.”

Little Kingfisher held her head high, extremely cocky: “The interior of the mountains belong to the birds and beasts, no one dares to act wildly in this land owned by the Divine Beast baby.”

“Hehe, you are amazing, you have your own territory.”

Lin Qingluo was amused, affectionately ruffling the cute pet’s little head.

“Of course, the Divine Beast baby has powers that reach the heavens and earth.”

Little Kingfisher was even more complacent, crowing with her head held high: “In the future, not just the Dashan, the entire Chonghe Continent will be my playground.”

“Hehe, you’re capable. I, your lady, acknowledge no one but you.”

Lin Qingluo laughed, her eyes creasing into a smile, the anger in her heart dissipated.

Lin Qingluo sat cross-legged, uniting her body and spirit. A gentle rain fell from the sky, nourishing the verdant and lively mountains and rivers.
