Xu Baiyu was in no mood to look at these things today. His slender jade fingers casually fiddled with these jade jewelry. Qiu Lian was used to observing the expression of others: "You are using these to get rid of the imperial concubine! Why don't you bring good things? You need big and exquisite ones. These petty ones are not presentable!"

Xu Baiyu was very satisfied with Qiu Lian's words, but he still maintained his composure, waiting for Xu Xinyue's next words.

Xu Xinyue said to the clerk, "Go and get all the hairpins, hairpins, step-shaking ornaments, etc. in our store, and also bring those newly made gold and jade crowns to the Imperial Concubine!"

The waiter nodded in agreement and brought the things Xu Xinyue mentioned to Xu Baiyu for inspection one by one.

Xu Baiyu looked at them carefully one by one. She had read the booklet yesterday and knew what the Golden Essence Stone and the Lapis Lazuli Stone looked like. But after reading them from beginning to end, she couldn't find any one that matched.

Could it be that Qiu Lian was deceived?

Xu Baiyu was a little annoyed, but he didn't show it because of his demeanor. He just stared at Xu Xinyue sinisterly and asked, "Is that all? Nothing else?

I am the imperial concubine, and I will soon become the mother of the country of Beixuan. You are showing me these? I think you don’t want to open this shop anymore!"

The shopkeeper was already trembling with fear, not daring to look up. He glanced at Xu Xinyue's reaction and sighed: The boss is really calm. Even at this time, he can still keep his composure and keep the imperial concubine in suspense, whetting her appetite.

Seeing that the time was almost right, Xu Xianyue seemed to suddenly realize something, and apologized, "Your Highness, please be patient. I just remembered that I do have a rare crown, which is the treasure of our shop. I don't show it to outsiders easily, and it has never been displayed here.

I just remembered it after being reminded by the Imperial Concubine. Please follow me upstairs, I will show you alone."

Only then did Xu Baiyu relax his brows, raised the corners of his lips slightly, raised his head, and went up to the third floor with Xu Xinyue and entered the room in the middle.

"Don't keep me in suspense, just show it to me."

Xu Xinyue took out an old sandalwood box from somewhere. It looked very old, and the edges and carvings on the box were worn out and became unusually round and smooth.

"Your Highness, please look."

Xu Xinyue opened the lid, and an extremely exquisite gold-carved crown appeared in front of Xu Baiyu.

The crown is made of red gold, and the carving technique is simple yet exquisite and gorgeous.

Most ordinary crowns are shaped like phoenixes, but this one is completely different.

It was actually a flower crown made of polished lapis lazuli, golden stone and various treasures as petals, and oriental pearls as the core!

The thin hanging tassels are all made of lapis lazuli and pearls strung together in series.

Xu Baiyu had never seen such a rich and dazzling blue gem.

Is this the Golden Stone?

Rich and pure, like the clear blue water at sunset.

What was depicted in yesterday's album is not even one-tenth as good as the real thing.

Just one glance and you won't be able to look away.

No matter how well Xu Baiyu concealed it, or how calm he was, his greed was still revealed in his eyes and eyebrows.

Xu Baiyu wanted to take her for himself.

If the price is reasonable, she doesn't mind paying the original price. If the boss wants to ask for a high price, then the plainclothes guards she brought today will not be pushovers.

This boss must look good.

Thinking of this, her eyes couldn't help but become a little sinister. She looked straight at Xu Xinyue, waiting for her answer.

Xu Xinyue smiled, as if she didn’t notice Xu Baiyu’s dangerous look: “Your Highness, I am very grateful for your kindness to me.

I should have given it to you, but this thing is so precious that I can’t…”

"Okay, I know. How much silver do you want?"

"No, I've changed my mind. I want to make a deal with the Imperial Concubine. Is the Imperial Concubine interested?"

Xu Baiyu raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect him to make such a request. "Why should I make a deal with you?"

"Just for this crown, if the deal is concluded, I am willing to give it to Your Majesty. At the same time, I will provide Your Majesty with three months' worth of pearl hairpins and jewelry, no limit on the quantity, without charging a penny."

"Really?" Xu Baiyu was a little surprised that the owner of Huacai Pavilion was so generous.

Her jewelry shop is one of the best in Kyoto, and every piece of jewelry is very expensive. Now she wants to use this as a deal to give her three months of free time!

Xu Baiyu was somewhat moved.

But he still maintained some rationality: "I am curious about what kind of deal would make the boss spend so much money."

Xu Xianyue took a step forward and whispered three words into Xu Baiyu's ear: "Kill Prince Rong."

He then stood up and returned to his original place as if nothing had happened.

Xu Baiyu looked up in astonishment: "You, do you know what you are talking about!?"

Xu Xinyue said calmly: "My Lady Imperial Concubine, please be patient. Actually, if you think about it carefully, this is not that difficult to do.

As everyone knows, everyone knows that he is currently in the Kyoto Prison and is a prisoner. Since he is a prisoner, it is possible that he will be punished. His Majesty already wants to execute him. What difference does it make if he dies a day earlier or later?

"There was no sound or movement. I just assumed he died during an interrogation. Is that right?"

Xu Baiyu did not comment: "However, even if you disguise yourself as a palace maid and follow me, you cannot come close.

Even the guards check each other every day to prevent thieves from sneaking in. It is said that there is a password that only they know. I am just a concubine and cannot get the secret password.

It would be extremely difficult for you to get in.”

Xu Baiyu danced with Kou Dan in his hand with some regret.

"Your Majesty, you are wrong. I know I cannot come closer, but Your Majesty can."

Xu Baiyu raised her eyes sharply, and laughed in anger: "Oh? You actually want me to do it. Why should I stain my hands with blood for you?"

Xu Xinyue knelt down and begged for mercy without panic: "Please forgive me, Madam. My request is too much. I am willing to increase the price. Within one year, there will still be no limit on the number of jewelry you can buy, and I won't charge you a penny."

Xu Baiyu really couldn't contain his ecstasy at that moment.

The amount of money she spends on ordering head ornaments at Hua Cai Pavilion every month is not a small amount. If that continues for a year... wouldn't Hua Cai Pavilion become her personal jewelry shop?

"I have another request. You are not allowed to sell the jewelry I use to others."

"Yes, I promise, Madam Royal Concubine."

"Okay, I'll do it for you, I'll pick a day..."

"Hold on, Madam Concubine. I have a small request. Can you use this small thing to take Prince Rong's life?"

"Your stuff? What?"

Xu Xinyue took out a porcelain bottle from her sleeve and offered it with both hands: "Can you use my poison?"

Xu Baiyu sensed something was wrong and asked suspiciously, "Why did they have to use your poison? There are countless poisons in the palace, could it be that you..."

"It's not that hard to understand. The reason I want to kill Prince Rong is that he used this medicine to poison my relatives.

I have a relative working under Prince Rong, but because of a slight mistake in one matter, he was poisoned.

I really couldn't swallow this anger. I thought, since Prince Rong would die sooner or later anyway, it would be better for him to die from the poison he once gave me. This would be considered as paying him back and avenging my family."

Xu Xinyue acted so emotionally that she couldn't help squeezing out a few tears, as if she really had a blood feud. She kowtowed and begged, "Please grant me your blessing, Imperial Concubine."

Xu Baiyu no longer had any doubts that this boss was a man who was willing to take such a big risk just to kill Qin Yuechuan.

"Okay, I promise you."
