Originally, when the ten years were up, Sindili should have faked her death and left.
However, with the mine, things were not so simple.
If Sindili wanted to cultivate, she also needed a mine. Of course, the Li Dynasty would not let such a good thing fall into the Great Zhou, so Sindili needed support.!!
The sincerity of the cooperation was to share that portion of resources.
“Xiaolu, wait a moment. I’ll show you the Spirit Stones.”
Su Xiaoling stood up to get the Spirit Stones. They were white jade-like stones. They were warm to the touch and she could feel the spiritual energy contained in them.
“This is from the mine.
Su Xiaoling handed the Spirit Stones to Su Xiaolu. Because of the appearance of the Spirit Stones, Sindili could not fake her death and leave. Surviving in this world required powerful strength. Cooperation was for a win-win situation.
Su Xiaolu looked at the Spirit Stones and felt them. The news of Spirit Stones did not exist in the outside world.
This meant that this thing was especially precious. It was only for a portion of people and even sealed the news from spreading.
With such mineral resources, the cooperation between Sindili and Zhou Heng would indeed continue.
Su Xiaolu held the Spirit Stones. She could feel that it was very comfortable to touch the Spirit Stones. This stone seemed to contain a spiritual spring. The spiritual energy was pure and flawless. It probably came from a place with dense spiritual energy that a lot of spiritual energy was absorbed into the stone.
“It’s not easy to get these Spirit Stones, right?”
Such a light stone was filled with spiritual energy, but this thing was so dense. There must be something unusual about it.
Su Xiaoling smiled and nodded. “Yes, it’s very difficult. There are only about ten distributed every year. This year, Little Brother Heng got seven, and Eldest Brother and Second Brother got one each.”
Moreover, it was so precious that there were not enough resources. Sindili had more, but she would not sell it.
Spirit Stones were good things, but they were difficult to come by.
Therefore, this was a secret because it was a rare treasure.
“Xiaolu, this is for you. I’ve absorbed some of the spiritual energy inside, but there’s still a lot left.’
Su Xiaoling smiled gently and gave the Spirit Stones to Su Xiaolu.
Su Xiaolu shook her head. “Sister, keep it. If there’s such a thing in the world, it would not just be in the Li Dynasty. We’ll find it in the future. I travel everywhere and go to places with abundant spiritual energy. This time, I was nourished by spiritual energy in the foreign land for ten years. If you can’t use it all, give them to the children.”
It was such a rare thing. She was satisfied that her sister thought of her.
The love was mutual.
“Young Lady, Princess Xin requests an audience.”
Hui Xiang came in from outside to report. Sindili’s title was Consort Li, the Crown Prince’s secondary consort.
Sindili had been living in the East Palace for ten years and had her own connections. She naturally knew that Su Xiaolu had entered the palace, but she did not know why she was here now.
Su Xiaoling’s expression was calm. She smiled at Su Xiaolu before saying to Hui Xiang, “Let her in.”
Su Xiaoling put away the Spirit Stones first and thought about giving them to
Su Xiaolu later.
Hui Xiang accepted the order and left.
Su Xiaoling said to Su Xiaolu, “Xiaolu, I’m from the same source as her. I’ve been guarding against her all these years. She’s getting stronger, and so am I. Sister is enough to compete with her.”
Su Xiaoling said that because she hoped that Su Xiaolu would not worry about her.
Su Xiaolu nodded. It had been more than ten years since they last met. Her impression of this princess remained more than ten years ago.
At that time, she had wanted to bewitch her from the beginning. She wondered what kind of person Sindili was now.
Sindili came in very quickly. Her face had not changed much from ten years ago. She was dressed more simply and elegantly. She had lost the immaturity of a young girl and had matured a lot.
Jiang Wei, who was beside her, was expressionless. She held a box in her hand and quietly stood beside Sindili like her shadow.
Sindili smiled and bowed slightly. “Greetings, Crown Princess Consort.”
With that, Sindili looked at Su Xiaolu. Her beautiful eyes were energetic. “Miss Su, long time no see.”
Su Xiaolu looked into Sindili’s eyes. Once again, she felt a force attracting her. It seemed that Princess Sindili had not changed much from ten years ago. She had done that ten years ago for her and Jiang Wei’s future. What about now? What was she doing this for?
Su Xiaolu smiled at Sindili and said politely, “It’s been a long time. Are you used to being in the palace, Princess?”
Sindili smiled and nodded. She looked at Su Xiaoling gratefully and said,
“Thanks to Crown Prince Consort and Crown Prince’s care, I’m doing fine.”
“I heard you were home. I thought I should come and take a look too. I might as well give you a gift.’
Sindili raised her hand, and Jiang Wei placed the box in her hand.
Sindili walked to Su Xiaolu’s side with the box and smiled gently. “Miss Su, this is for you. Open it and see if it suits you.”
Sindili kept looking at Su Xiaolu. Su Xiaolu smiled at her and took the box. She opened it naturally. There was also a white jade-like stone inside. From the texture and color, it was much better than the one Su Xiaoling had taken out just now, but the stone was smaller.
Su Xiaolu pretended to be puzzled. “What is this?”
Sindili glanced at Su Xiaoling, then smiled and said, “It’s better to let the crown prince consort tell you.”
Su Xiaoling’s expression was calm. She smiled gently and told Su Xiaolu about the Spirit Stones in detail.
Su Xiaolu was also surprised. “There’s such a good thing?”
Joy appeared in her eyes. She took out a stone from the box and touched it. Then, she put it down lovingly and looked at Sindili in embarrassment.
“Princess, I feel guilty for receiving such an expensive gift.”
Sindili immediately chuckled. “It’s all thanks to you in the past. I haven’t had the chance to thank you properly. Accept it now. I don’t have many friends either. Apart from the crown prince consort, you’re the only one I know in the capital. Miss Su, if you don’t accept it, I don’t know what to do.”
Su Xiaolu looked conflicted. In the end, she touched the stone lovingly and took the box in one go. She looked at Sindili and said, “Thank you for your kindness, Princess. I’ll accept it.”
Sindili smiled even more happily. She looked at Su Xiaolu with gentle eyes.
Su Xiaolu felt dizzy. It seemed that after ten years, Sindili’s bewitching power had become much stronger.
She listened to the meaning of that force and smiled back at Sindili.
Since they were already here and Sindili had laid such a big bait, no matter what, she had to go and take a look. However, it was not appropriate for her sister to know about this.
“Miss Su, let’s get together again next time.” Having achieved her goal, Sindili stood up tactfully.
She said respectfully to Su Xiaoling, “Crown Prince Consort, I won’t disturb you anymore. I’ll go back first.”
Sindili was quite tactful. Although she did not know what she meant by coming to give a gift, she was very tactful. Even if she had any requests in the future, they would talk about it when the time came.
Su Xiaoling smiled gently and nodded. “Alright, thank you for your kindness to my sister..”
