The Prince of Pingnan did not deny the matter: "If the Emperor doesn't send a few people to keep watch over Liefeng Prefecture, how can he feel at ease?"

"If I wanted to get rid of Zhou Chenyang, it would never have been difficult. It's just that that fool overestimated himself."

Princess Anle finally understood everything that he hadn't been able to figure out before.

He sneered, "Your Highness said that Zhou Chenyang overestimates himself, but haven't you overestimated yourself as well?"

"Do you really think Father Emperor would believe the message Zhou Chenyang sent to the capital? As far as I know, there are at least three people in Liefeng Prefecture who have sent messages to Father Emperor."

"You lied about the disaster and swindled the court's money to support your own private army. Do you really think Father Emperor doesn't know anything about it?"

The Prince of Pingnan laughed loudly: "So what if the dog emperor finds out?"

"Every single one of the soldiers you and Chu Mengsheng brought today will have to die here!"

Princess Anle's lips curved slightly: "Is that so?"

Before he finished speaking, the Prince of Pingnan felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. He looked down and saw that Ye Jingxian had somehow acquired a knife in his hand.

The knife plunged into the Prince of Pingnan's abdomen, the blade disappearing into the hilt!

The Prince of Pingnan raised his hand and slapped Ye Jingxian across the face: "How dare you!"

He was extremely wary of Ye Junfei, and he would be very careful whenever Ye Junfei approached, fearing that Ye Junfei would suddenly make a move.

However, he was much less wary of Ye Jingxian, for a simple reason: he always felt that he treated Ye Jingxian well.

Even though he recently suspected that Ye Jingxian was born to the Princess of Pingnan and Zhou Lingshan, he never made things difficult for Ye Jingxian.

He considered himself a good and qualified father in Ye Jingxian's eyes.

He could hardly believe that he had been injured by Ye Jingxian, because Ye Jingxian was someone he had personally raised.

Ye Jingxian's eyes were filled with madness: "How could I not dare! You heartless old beast!"

Prince Pingnan: "!!!!"

He often called Ye Junfei a little beast, but now Ye Jingxian called him an old beast, and his feelings were extremely complicated.

A surge of rage rose within him, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Are you trying to kill your father?"

Ye Jingxian looked at him and said, "You are selfish, cold-hearted, and inhuman. A person like you doesn't deserve to live in this world! You don't deserve to be a father!"

The Prince of Pingnan raised his foot and kicked Ye Jingxian to the ground.

But as soon as he finished doing that, he found that his back was in excruciating pain again.

He turned his head and saw Princess Pingnan standing behind him expressionlessly, pulling out the knife that was stuck in his body.

Blood dripped from the blade onto the ground, drop by drop.

The Prince of Pingnan was experiencing extremely complex emotions at this moment.

He thought he had treated the mother and son well, but he never expected that they would take his life when he was off guard.

What angered him most was that this was a wedding hall, and both the mother and son had sharp weapons in their hands!

This means they had planned to take action in the wedding hall beforehand.

Princess Pingnan's face twisted in agony: "Go to hell!"

After she finished speaking, she picked up the short knife in her hand and stabbed at the Prince of Pingnan again.

The Prince of Pingnan saw the ruthlessness and madness in her eyes. He sneered, raised his foot, and kicked the Princess of Pingnan to the ground.

Prince Pingnan practiced martial arts for many years and was quite skilled.

Ye Jingxian was too tense, and the knife that was thrust in didn't penetrate very deeply.

Princess Pingnan was a woman, and it was her first time stabbing someone with a knife. She was severely inexperienced, and although the stab looked fierce, it did not hit any vital organs.

The Prince of Pingnan originally didn't intend to kill her because of their marital bond, but her actions at this moment completely enraged him.

His kick landed squarely on Princess Pingnan's chest, breaking several of her ribs, and blood spurted from her mouth.

Ye Jingxian was shocked: "Mother!"

He tried to help the Princess of Pingnan, but in his panic, he used the wrong force and lost his balance, falling heavily to the ground.

Princess Anle had already found a rope and tied up her swaying trousers.

He clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Families killing each other, husbands and wives killing each other, how wonderful!"

After he finished speaking, he looked at the Prince of Pingnan and said, "Although Your Highness is a ruthless and ambitious man, you are cold-hearted by nature. You must find it hard to bear the taste of being betrayed and abandoned by everyone!"

"Today, I, the Empress, will act on behalf of Heaven to uphold justice!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qingfeng and Qingyuan drew their swords and thrust them at the Prince of Pingnan.

The Prince of Pingnan took a few steps back, and several men in gray robes descended from the sky, protecting him behind them.

Princess Anle said in a deep voice, "I had heard before that Prince Pingnan had eighteen Iron-Blooded Guards by his side, each of whom was highly skilled in martial arts."

"I've been very curious about this for a while now, so I'm here to see for myself!"

As soon as he finished speaking, more than ten men in black appeared behind him.

The guards around Princess Anle were undoubtedly skilled in martial arts.

They clashed with the Iron-Blooded Guards of the Prince of Pingnan, and the two groups immediately engaged in a fierce and evenly matched battle.

Princess Anle, seeing this situation, felt that this was normal.

After his last fight with Lin Xiuyan, he was so badly beaten that he began to question his existence.

No one knows what strange things might come out of her, and fighting her is just too exhausting.

He knew from the loud noise in the backyard that Lin Xiuyan must have encountered some trouble.

He didn't think she would be killed because she had too many ways to save her life.

If he could, he would never want to confront her directly again in his life.

At the same time, he secretly hoped that those who went to kill Lin Xiuyan would kill her instead, so that he wouldn't have to face her again in the future.

Lin Xiuyan, whom he was thinking about, was actually in a rather disheveled state at this moment.

The reason is simple: no matter how careful she was, she never expected there to be a tunnel in her room.

After the wedding procession entered the Prince's Mansion, Lin Xiuyan actually wanted to go to the wedding hall to join in the fun.

However, she remembered Ye Junfei's instructions that the Prince's mansion was not safe enough today, and she had better not run around.

She suppressed her urge to join in the fun and patiently waited with Ye Qingwan in the house.

Hearing the commotion ahead, the two chatted and laughed about what was happening.

Just in case, she also set up many traps around the yard.

But who can tell her why those killers suddenly appeared from under her bed?

Lin Xiuyan always reacted very quickly. As soon as she saw someone crawling out of the tunnel and realized something was wrong, she picked up her crossbow and started firing wildly.

Hearing the commotion, He Shen rushed over to help.

However, who knows how many people were hiding in that tunnel? As soon as Lin Xiuyan killed one, another would pop up, making it even more of a test of her reaction speed than playing whack-a-mole.

Most importantly, there was more than one tunnel leading into the courtyard, and the men in black kept prying their heads out from under the floorboards.

Some teams emerged from the kitchen, some from the flower room, but the most impressive team came from the washroom.

Their locations were all very clever, places where it would be impossible to find tunnels under normal circumstances.
