The next day, Dugu Yu wanted to ask for leave from court and stay at home with his wife, but was rejected by Qin Qingyao.

Although she taught Dugu Yu how to be lazy and timid and hide his edge to avoid suspicion, she did not intend to let Dugu Yu really neglect government affairs and be punished by the emperor.

It's fine if you're not feeling well, but you didn't even attend court when your wife was sick and injured. What kind of example are you setting? If all the civil and military officials in the court acted like this, then Zhao Ling would be finished, wouldn't he?

Dugu Yu really didn't dare to make Qin Qingyao angry now, and he didn't want her to talk too much, so he obediently changed into court clothes and went out.

Before leaving, he reminded her, "I'll be back to have dinner with you after work. Don't get up before I come back. The doctor said you need to get more rest!"

Qin Qingyao nodded slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable in her neck, and made an "OK" gesture with her hand, not knowing whether Dugu Yu understood her or not.

Prince Yi's Mansion

Ling Anli was hit hard by Dugu Yu yesterday. Although there was still some distance between them, which resulted in Dugu Yu's palm not exerting its maximum power, she was still seriously injured.

She should have found someone with great internal strength to help her recover in time to avoid any hidden injuries, but she was really panicked at the time and did not dare to go back and ask who had hit her and why.

So in a hurry, she went back on horseback and rode back to Yulin City to see a doctor.

Her injuries were so severe that the doctor could not possibly hide it from Prince Yi, but no matter how the furious Prince Yi asked, she refused to say a word.

Prince Yi was so angry that his blood rushed to his head. "You've been injured like this, and you're still protecting the murderer? I think you've been beaten stupid!"

"If you don't tell me, I'll go ask you tomorrow. You'll just stay home and don't go out and make trouble again!"

The fact that they had gone on stage to perform in public had already brought shame to Prince Yi's Mansion. Fortunately, Prince Duan and Prince Wuling also went on stage to have fun with the people in the end, so Prince Yi did not pursue the matter.

But since then, his daughter has been running out every few days, and she looks less and less like a princess.

Now she dares to come back with injuries all over her body, even her face is scratched. As an unmarried girl, this is a big deal. What if she is left with scars?

Ling Anli went home and ignored everyone. The only thing on his mind was whether Qin Qingyao was dead or not.

Although she was unable to successfully clear herself of the matter because of the trouble caused by Baiji, that lowly slave, but as long as Qin Qingyao died, she would not have suffered any loss from the blow!

As for Dugu Yu, he might feel sad and reluctant now, but after a long time, he will always forget the dead person!

When the time comes, she will do her best to compensate him. She will definitely not be even slightly inferior to Qin Qingyao in everything she can do!

Ling Anli was so nervous and excited that he didn't sleep well the whole night. When he got up the next morning, the first thing he did was to ask the servants.

"Did you hear anything about what happened at Prince Wuling's mansion this morning?"

The little maidservant couldn't figure out what her master wanted to hear, and said nervously, "I haven't heard of it."

With a snap, Ling Anli broke the white jade hairpin in her hand. No news came out, which meant Qin Qingyao was fine?

The little maid was so frightened that she forgot to comb the princess' hair with the comb in her hand.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up! Hair your hair properly, I need to go out!"

"But the prince said..."

Seeing that such a little maid dared to talk back to her, Ling Anli was immediately furious and slapped her in the face, "Are you worthy enough to use my father to pressure me?"

The little maid fell to her knees, "I dare not!"

…

Ling Anli combed her hair, put on makeup, and wore a dress made of precious brocade, the latest popular style from Yulin City. She carefully created an aura of two meters and eighty, and then she went out with her maid without even having breakfast.

The doormen and guards in the mansion tried to stop her, but just like the little maid combing her hair, who could control the princess?

Although the servants of Prince Wuling's mansion knew that the princess was injured, they did not know who did it. When the prince came back yesterday looking so scary, no one dared to ask.

Ling Anli came to the Wuling Prince's Mansion so early that he really scared the gatehouse servants. "Greetings, Princess. Our prince has gone to court, and the princess is still resting. Look..."

Ling Anli said with a playful and harmless smile, "I heard that your princess was injured yesterday. I was worried, so I didn't even have time to eat breakfast this morning to come and see how she was doing."

"You won't even let me in, will you?"

"I dare not. Princess, please come in quickly."

The doorman welcomed Ling Anli into the house and winked at someone beside him, asking him to quickly notify the housekeeper.

The princess came back injured yesterday. When the prince went to the morning court, he specifically emphasized that no one was allowed to disturb the princess's rest.

So they did not plan to call the princess to receive Ling Anli, but planned to let the housekeeper receive her first so as not to neglect her.

But Ling Anli did not play by the rules at all. After entering the room, she looked domineering and did whatever she wanted. It was obvious that she had already gotten into the role and regarded herself as the mistress of this palace.

When she met someone, she was not polite at all. "Which courtyard does your princess sleep in? Take me there."

"My Lady, the princess is feeling unwell and has not yet risen. Please..."

"What? Are you not going to come out to see anyone? What time is it now? I've already walked to her door and she still hasn't gotten up? Is there another woman as lazy as her in the whole Yulin City?"

"Even if there's no old man in the palace to restrain her, she can't do whatever she wants, right? If she has no shame, does that mean the palace has no shame too?"

The housekeeper who just arrived, "..."

He said he was here to visit the princess, but it was obvious he was here to cause trouble! No wonder he chose to come early in the morning when the prince was not at home!

The butler, who had been polite and smiling, suddenly became extremely alert. "Greetings, Your Highness. The prince has not yet left the court, and it will take time for the princess to get up and wash. Please follow this old servant to the main hall and wait."

"This princess doesn't have the time. We are all women. It doesn't matter if we haven't washed up. Take me to see Qin Qingyao!"

The servants looked at each other in bewilderment. This woman was truly bizarre! Why was she still awake so early in the morning? Did she think this was her Prince Yi's mansion? Who was she supposed to be ordering around?

The official still had a smile on his face. "I am truly sorry, Princess. Without the Princess's consent, I dare not take you to the Princess's room without her permission. Please go to the main hall with me and wait for a moment."

Ling Anli was furious at the housekeeper's obvious act of disobedience. She was the one who would accompany Dugu Yu for the rest of his life, and she was the future mistress of the Wuling Palace!

You bunch of dogs and slaves are really blind. When this princess comes home in the future, you all have to wait for me!

"This princess is a restless person and can't sit still. Since your princess is still not getting up, this princess will just wander around this palace first. You guys go and get busy. You don't have to accompany me!"

He said he was just strolling around, but in fact he was just forcing his way in, intending to find Qin Qingyao from one courtyard to another.

How could this be a visit? It was like she was here to catch someone having an affair. Was this princess mentally unstable?

Although this person is unreasonable and extremely shameless, the servants in the palace really don't dare to touch her, because she is a royal princess with a noble status.

So they could only quickly inform the princess and see what to do about this matter.

Otherwise, if Princess Anli really rushed to the princess's bedside to call for help, she would scare the princess.

Qin Qingyao had just fallen asleep after Dugu Yu left when Bai Zhi woke her up, "Princess, Princess Anli is here."

"who?"

"Princess Anli."

Haha, this girl is really brave. She hasn't even gone to Prince Yi's mansion to settle the score yet, but she came here on her own initiative.

What? Come to see if she's dead? Are you planning on stabbing her twice more?

Qin Qingyao simply put on her clothes, left her hair loose without even tying it up, and sat in the main hall outside the bedroom waiting for Ling Anli.

When Ling Anli entered the room, he saw Qin Qingyao, who looked calm and rosy-faced, and who didn't look a bit amiss. Next to her stood Bai Zhi, who looked 80% like her sister Bai Ji.

Suddenly, I felt a dull pain in the wounds on my body, hands and face caused by the white hyacinth!

She had only strangled Qin Qingyao's neck; she hadn't died, and she wasn't injured or sick. But what about her? She had been beaten by Dugu Yu to the point of vomiting blood, and had been scratched all over by that slave Baiji!

Ling Anli really wants to stab Qin Qingyao twice more now!

Qin Qingyao's throat wasn't completely swollen yet, and she felt uncomfortable speaking, so she just looked at Ling Anli.

Ling Anli's words left people speechless, "Qin Qingyao, you're not dead!"

Isn't that nonsense? Can you say something more nutritious?

"Haha, you're not hurt at all, yet you let your maid commit violence and hurt others, and made me look like this. If I go to the Emperor to seek justice, what do you think will happen to you?"

Qin Qingyao smiled calmly, then took off the gauze from her neck by herself.

"See? You strangled me."

Ling Anli snorted disapprovingly, obviously feeling that she hadn't strangled him lightly. "So what? I was just playing a joke on you, I didn't mean to kill you!"

A joke? It's a really funny joke.

"If the princess wants to go before the emperor to seek justice, this princess will be there anytime. As long as my husband is willing to believe this..." Qin Qingyao pointed at the marks on her neck. "If it's a joke, then this princess has nothing to say."

"You are shameless! Besides using King Wu Ling to threaten others, what else can you do?"

"No, I have such a great husband, why would I need any other skills? Compared to you, the versatile and playful princess, I'm really ashamed!"

Damn, my throat hurts from talking so much!
