Chapter 159: Fake?
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Under the setting of blooming cherry blossoms, A sweet scent enters the room through the window.
Smelling the scent, Ni Ni's body relaxed a little while she glanced at Qin Cheng feeling all great revealing the power of her brother.
Meanwhile,
Qin Cheng with her demeanor exuding an air of authority, leaned in slightly as she spoke in a small tone, " Princess Ni Ni, " she exclaimed Ni Ni's name with her voice soft, yet it seemed commanding and full of power causing Ni Ni's attention to focus on her.
" I don't know how to say this, but since you want to join hands with us, I will let out the question on my heart... Do you ever find yourself questioning the motives of those around you? Like Empress? " She said while her small voice gradually turned sharp and a little louder.
Hearing this, Ni Ni was about to say something but suddenly her mind froze and she stopped.
' Hmm! Empress? Indeed what is her motive? She seems over friendly with my brother, ' Ni Ni thought in her mind.
Ni Ni's curiosity was piqued by Qin Cheng's words,
She slightly furrowed her brow in contemplation while she opened her mouth, "It seems my lack of insight is killing me, may I ask the meaning behind your words? "
She asked with her voice tinged with a hint of suspicion and confusion.
Seeing the Face of Ni Ni, Qin Cheng's lips slightly curved while she got up from her seat, and walked behind Ni Ni asserting dominance with her presence.
She placed her arms on Ni Ni's shoulder and began to mutter, " Since you are with us now, I will let you know, I feel like the Empress is manipulating your brother... Don't you feel like your brother is a dog and Empress is the owner, I don't know if it's just me, but, I feel like Qin Bai Huan is dancing in the palm of Empress, "
Hearing this, Ni Ni's brows slightly twitched while she recalled the last events causing her body to shiver.
It doesn't look like it, but Qin Cheng seems smart.
For the last 2 months, both Ni Ni and her brother have been dancing on the empress's hand, all they did was follow her order without asking any questions.
The realization hits her, as she clenches her fist.
Her brother was following the task handed by the empress while she, herself was following her brother without any reasonable thinking.
Suddenly her mind began to run wild, with various questions.
Why didn't the Empress allow her brother to reveal his bloodline? Why was her brother living in shadow?
If the truth about her brother was revealed, her brother would also be a well-reputed person.

Seeing the quivering body of Ni Ni, Qin Cheng's face turned dark while her lips curved forming an evil grin,
Leaning closer while placing her hands on Ni Ni's shoulders, Qin Cheng whispered softly.
" I know very well Princess Ni Ni, you came here on order of the Empress but, the Empress isn't a good woman, however, if you wish, I can help you ascend your brother to the throne, "
Hearing this, her body cruddles, she could feel a big lump of honey stuck in her throat... It felt like Ni Ni's soul left her body, she was too stunned to speak anything.
Seeing her, Qin Cheng continued, " You may not know but, I really! really! Really Love Prince Qin Bai Huan, and I wish to support him, however, my brother is really controlling of me, so, I could never express myself, hope Princess Ni Ni can accept me as her sister-in-law, and help me from my cage, " saying that, Qin Cheng even sheds few drops of tears.
Seeing this Ni Ni was confused and shocked, nonetheless, she stood up and grabbed Qin Cheng, " I see, it seems your condition is really unfortunate but don't worry, I am with you, I will definitely help you... It would be my honor to have you as my sister-in-law, " saying that, she hugged Qin Cheng.
Unknown to her, Qin Cheng had a sinister Sly grin on her face, while she hugged her back, " Please don't speak anything about this to Empress... And, thank you, I really hope we can get along, " she whispered with a sad voice.
" Don't worry, I have understood it well, my eyes have been opened and I can see it crystal clear, Empress isn't a good woman, that old hag is just using my brother as her pawn... " saying that, the hug between two women ended.
" Uhmm! It may be rude for me to speak but I have a plan to help my F-Future husband from her clutch," Qin Cheng said while her cheeks turned red and she fumbled in her words.
Seeing this, Ni Ni smiled, " Haha! Don't worry, please speak what's in your mind, I won't take it as rude, "
With that, Qin Cheng began to whisper something to her ears.
Whispering that, Qin Cheng looked at Ni Ni.
Facing her gaze Ni Ni nodded her head, " Umm!... Well then, see you some other day, " saying that, Ni Ni was about to leave the room.
Before she left, she heard the voice is Qin Cheng, " Please make sure to check if Prince Huan has eaten, he seems to be getting skinny, "
Hearing this, Ni Ni left the room while her cheeks blushed, "Oho! Didn't know my brother could pull maiden... Such a caring sister-in-law, "
However the next moment she clenched her fist, " Qin Cheng is a good woman, but, it seems her brother is controlling her, I will definitely save her from his clutches, "

Inside the room,
Qin Cheng took a sit, while she refilled her cup. " it seems things will be getting chaotic very soon, " saying that, she looked at a map.
If I am not wrong, 3000 years old peach wood can be found in the demonic forest in the West,
While the enlightened bodhi fruit is right here.
Saying that she pointed her finger at...
" Moonlight Waterfall Cave"
