Triplets: Lucky Mommy is a Beautiful Badass

Chapter 556: A Deal 4

Qi Qingyao was blindfolded with a black cloth and then ushered onto a carriage. The carriage sent her back to that same alley again. After Qi Qingyao removed the black cloth, she stared blankly at the empty alley for a while.

Then she made her way out and called for a carriage to send her back to the State Preceptor’s household.

Right after Qi Qingyao left,

Bai Mei came over and knocked on the door with a serious look. After Jiang Yeqian granted her permission to enter, Bai Mei delivered a special secret report.

Jiang Yeqian took one look at it after he opened it, and his breathing almost stopped.

After a while, he muttered to himself.

“I-Impossible.”

Shan Qianjue and Tan Xiangdie had initially been planning to leave, but after noticing the drastic change in his expression, Shan Qianjue turned his head. “What is it?”

“I received special intel.” Jiang Yeqian quickly burned the secret report with the candle flame at the side.

As the Head of Wenchun Hall, Shan Qianjue occasionally relied on the intel of the Zhaixing Administration to develop his plans, so he asked, “What exactly is it?”

Jiang Yeqian looked up, his gaze very deep. “Qi Qingyao is the Harbinger.”

“The Harbinger, what does that mean?” Shan Qianjue did not get it at first.

Tan Xiangdie frowned and interjected, “Are you sure you don’t know what the Harbinger is?”

Shan Qianjue was stunned for a moment, then his eyes twinkled. “You mean…that Harbinger?”

Jiang Yeqian nodded. “Yes.”

Shan Qianjue said immediately, “Li Ruoxuan’s ascension was also because he was very close to her, so that’s how he ascended!!”

“I reckon it is.” Jiang Yeqian’s expression darkened even more.

Tan Xiangdie asked cautiously, “So… the little empress doesn’t know about this yet, right?”

Jiang Yeqian said in a deep voice, “If this piece of information is sent to the palace, the little empress will never send Qi Qingyao to the Lu family. Because if she really is the Harbinger, this will inadvertently allow the Lu family to possibly cultivate a grand master in the future. The Lu family is already very wealthy. If they gain their own grand master, they will have both money and power. If the Lu family forms an army on top of that…this will cause a great sense of threat to the little empress.”

Shan Qianjue said bluntly, “If she really is the Harbinger, she cannot be given to the Lu family. She must be taken by the Ghost Organization for our own use.” 1

Jiang Yeqian thought for a while and said, “Let’s postpone the matter of replacing the empress of Northern Liang. Hall Master Shan, have a proper discussion with the strategists in the Wenchun Hall first. After all, the fact that she is the Harbinger is simply too important. We have to think carefully about our next move.”

“I know.” Shan Qianjue nodded.

As the Head of Wangyue Administration, Tan Xiangdie was usually responsible for sending people for infiltration jobs, so these matters had nothing to do with him. He said with a hint of playfulness, “It now seems that what the outsiders said is really possible, that Si Jin was too close to the Harbinger, and that’s how he quickly ascended to a realm above the grand masters!”

Shan Qianjue suddenly paused, then turned to look at Jiang Yeqian. “Weren’t you previously in contact with her when you were in Qingzhou City? Now she has her heart set on marrying into the Lu family and living the life of a young mistress. You should take the time to ask her indirectly what exactly she is thinking. And if you can dissuade her of the idea, then it’s best to do it.”

Jiang Yeqian, “...”

He was rather upset when this was brought up.

He had also spent the same period of time with Qi Qingyao. No—technically, he had spent an even longer time with Qi Qingyao than Li Ruoxuan.

In the end, Li Ruoxuan ascended to grand master and he…did not.

Why was that so?

Also…

Before this, in the palace, Li Ruoxuan declared that he liked her. Now it seemed that he was aware that Qi Qingyao was the Harbinger, so had he deliberately tried to keep her by his side? He even accepted that woman’s daughter, Erniu, as his disciple.

He was indeed the State Preceptor who would go to any lengths for the sake of his goals.

Shan Qianjue added, “Also, I suggest you send a copy of this intel to the palace.” Jiang Yeqian nodded.

If the information that Qi Qingyao was the Harbinger was leaked to the palace, the little empress would retract the marriage bestowment that was already issued. This was also considered a good thing.

However, he had to think of a new course of action for the matter between him…and the little empress.
