As the New Year approaches, the capital is very lively. Even the heavy snow cannot cover up people's enthusiasm for the New Year.

All kinds of New Year goods were sent to the capital, and the queues of merchants crowded the city gate. The people began to busy themselves with buying things to prepare for the New Year.

The restaurants and theaters are especially bustling.

Princess Jiaruo lived in the palace when she was a child, and left with her brother when she grew up. She has never experienced the hustle and bustle of the capital city. Now that she has grown up and returned, she can finally have a good time. These days, she has been taking people out for a walk and is in high spirits.

"Xuezhi, come here quickly, this is so beautiful, I like this..."

"Wow, this is not bad either. It will look great on you."

Princess Jiaruo has been in her fiefdom for many years and is not bound by so many rules. She has a cheerful, generous and casual personality. The woman following behind her is dressed in white and has a veil on her face. She has an excellent figure and a gentle temperament. Although her face cannot be seen, her exposed eyebrows and eyes are also very beautiful, making people feel that there must be a great beauty under the mysterious veil.

Seeing the sad face of the person next to her, Jia Ruo couldn't help but ask, "Xuezhi, why are you unhappy? Are you feeling unwell?"

The woman called Xuezhi shook her head and said gently, "I'm fine, it's just that there are too many people here and it's too noisy."

Jia Ruo immediately understood: "There's a teahouse in front, let's go sit there."

Xuezhi nodded gently: "Okay."

On the second floor, two figures sat by the window, watching a group of people walking by below nonchalantly.

Xiao Jingyi: "Royal sister, do you think she is the Fourth Emperor's sister-in-law?"

Xiao Li played with the wine glass: "Take off the veil and take a look, then you will know."

Below, someone had already caught up with the two men. Taking advantage of the crowd, he pretended to be squeezed past and quickly removed the veil that was covering his face.

"ah!!!"

A face covered with purple patterns was suddenly exposed to the air, scaring passers-by and making them scream.

The people around immediately looked over and were shocked: "Oh my God, why does this person's face look like this?"

"I thought she was a beauty, but she turned out to be an ugly freak."

"Shut up! Get out of here!" Jia Ruo angrily whipped out the whip and swung it at those people: "Whoever did this, come out, get out now!"

Xuezhi covered her face and squatted on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably. Jiaruo took a whip and lashed out at passersby furiously, "What are you looking at? Be careful or I'll dig your eyes out!"

A man in brocade clothes came over with his men. Without even looking at Jia Ruo, he strode towards Xue Zhi, lowered his head and said distressedly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

He gently picked her up and held Xuezhi's head in his arms so no one could see it. Then he looked up with a cold and stern face: "Get out of the way!"

The guards cleared the way, and he left with the person in his arms in full view of everyone.

Passerby A: "This person has such a strong aura, who is he?"

Passerby B: "It's no surprise you don't recognize him. He's the King of Yanping. He's been away from his fiefdom for several years and just returned."

"Wow, Prince Yanping, is that his princess? I haven't heard that Princess Yanping is ugly?"

"Shut up! Didn't you see that Prince Yanping looked like he was ready to kill someone? Be careful what you say."

----------

The guard went upstairs to report, "Princess, it has been confirmed that she is the missing Princess Chen, but she is disfigured. There is a purple spiderweb-like mark under her nose, which looks very scary."

In fact, Xiao Li was probably certain that it was Liu Xueyin. After it was completely confirmed, he felt calm and at ease.

Sure enough, he is still alive.

Because I had a premonition, I wasn't shocked or surprised, I just felt fucked.

She killed Liu Xueyin with her own hands. She used a whole bottle of Crane's Beak Poison, which was enough to poison ten cows. She even saw people die with her own eyes, but Liu Xueyin disappeared out of thin air and is alive now.

It feels like I bought fake medicine.

So, Liu Xueyin is alive, but what about Lu Yanzhi?

If Lu Yanzhi was still alive, she would really collapse.

What’s the difference between this and an indestructible cockroach?

I can't kill myself, I can't kill the protagonist, and I can't leave. The feeling of being in prison is really driving people crazy all the time.

Xiao Li raised his hand to let the guard leave. Just as the guard was about to close the door, he was suddenly kicked away. Then a long whip with a strong murderous aura whistled through the crack of the door.

Rong Qing swung his sword but was still a step too slow.

“Bang!”

The whip hit Xiao Jingyi's chest hard. Although it was hit by thick clothes, the sound was still painful.

Rong Qing was fighting with the other party. Xiao Li raised his hand to push away Xiao Jingyi who was blocking his way and glanced at his chest.

Xiao Jingyi grinned: "Imperial sister, I'm fine, it's just a little bit of pain."

Xiao Li didn't answer him and turned to look at the door.

The person fighting with Rong Qing was actually Jia Ruo who was just downstairs.

Rong Qing didn't care whether she was a princess or not. He would just attack his master with all his strength.

Jia Ruo recognized Xiao Jingyi the moment she saw him, but Rong Qing's moves were brutal and she was beaten back step by step.

It wasn't until the guards came up to stop her that she got a chance to breathe.

"Fifth Brother, I'm Jiaruo, tell him to stop."

Xiao Jingyi said nothing. His heart was burning with pain, so he would not help her.

Jia Ruo was so furious that she could only shout at Rong Qing: "I am Princess Jia Ruo, the sister of Prince Yan Ping. If you dare to hurt me, my brother will never let you go!"

Rong Qing turned a deaf ear to him and swung his sword with a strong wind, directly cutting off Jiaruo's whip.

Before Jia Ruo had time to feel sorry for her beloved whip, a long knife was placed on her neck the next moment. The cold blade had just been stained with the blood of the guards and was now even shinier.

The smell of blood was pungent and chilling. The blade was already pressed tightly against her skin. Just a little force would take her life. Jiaruo truly felt the threat of death, and the hairs on her body stood up.

"Fifth...Fifth Brother..."

She doesn't want to die.

If she were calm, she would be sure that Xiao Jingyi would not dare to kill her, but she could not remain calm now.

There were hurried footsteps on the stairs, and two guards made way, and King Yanping Xiao Jingzhao arrived.

A pair of gloomy eyes saw Jiaruo with a big knife at her neck, and her expression became so gloomy that it seemed like water was about to drip out of it.

"Let her go!"

Rong Qing didn't move, and the other guards beside him didn't retreat a single step.

After someone told Xiao Jingzhao who was inside, Xiao Jingzhao shouted angrily: "Xiao Jingyi, get out!"

Xiao Jingyi was afraid: Sister, help me!

Although he thought so in his heart, he still strode out. Since the imperial sister didn't say anything, he had to step forward. Although he didn't do it, how could he take the blame for the imperial sister be considered taking the blame?

He forced a fake smile and walked out: "Second brother, why are you here?"

"Hey, sister, why are you here?"

This situation...is not easy to deal with. It's hard to take the blame if you don't have enough strength.

Xiao Jingzhao looked at Rong Qing, then at Xiao Jingyi, his gaze fell behind him, and said gloomily: "You think you can just hide, Xiao Xuanyang!"
