"Your Highness the Crown Prince has arrived so early," Ji Jiuying teased.

Jun Lintian blushed. He hated this kind of thing the most. "Little Jiu Jiu, if you keep doing this, I won't talk to you anymore."

Ji Jiuying chuckled, "Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. I have something important to discuss with you."

Just as Jun Lintian was about to ask what important matter it was, he saw the Second Prince of Western Jin come out with Jun Linyu, who was covered in wounds.

What's going on? How did Jun Linyu end up here? And he's covered in injuries.

What's even stranger is that Jun Linyu didn't say a word and obediently followed behind the second prince of Western Jin.

"Jun Lintian, Jun Linyu is now under control. He will answer any questions you may have about him."

Jun Lintian snapped out of his daze. What did Xiao Jiujiu mean by this? Jun Linyu didn't seem to have taken the Truth-Speaking Pill.

"Are you stupid?"

Jun Lintian nodded, glanced at Murong Zheng, and said, "Little Jiu Jiu, what I want to ask isn't convenient to do here..."

Ji Jiuying glanced at Murong Zheng and instantly understood Jun Lintian's concerns. Although Murong Zheng had no ambition, he was still a prince of the Western Jin Dynasty, and some things were indeed inappropriate to say here. "Then take him inside and ask him."

About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn has passed.

Jun Lintian led Jun Linyu out of the room. Although Jun Lintian's face was calm and composed, the anger in his eyes did not escape Ji Jiuying's notice.

It seems Jun Lintian has gotten some useful information out of her. As for what it is, she's not curious at all. It's best to stay away from royal family matters if possible.

"Little Jiu Jiu, I want to ask Little Jiu Jiu how to deal with him?"

Jun Lintian asked.

Before Ji Jiuying could answer, Hei Xiangling said, "What else can we do? Of course, we'll chop him into eight pieces and feed him to the dogs!"

"Jun Lintian, he has crossed my line. I will not let him leave this Princess's mansion alive... If you want him, I can leave you a whole corpse..."

As she spoke, Ji Jiuying smiled, but her eyes were as cold as frost and snow, filled with murderous intent.

Seeing this, Jun Lintian swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

Why did that damned Jun Linyu have to cause trouble at this time? Why couldn't he have married the Second Princess of Western Jin first...? As soon as the thought came to mind, Jun Lintian shook his head. How could he think like that? No matter what, the Second Princess of Western Jin was innocent. He couldn't let her become a widow right after marrying Jun Linyu, could he?

Thinking back to what I learned from Jun Linyu about his dealings with the Crown Prince of Western Jin, it seems this Second Princess is unaware of it... It seems I need to find an opportunity to test her.

But how is he going to explain to his father and mother that Jun Linyu died in the princess's mansion?

After Jun Lintian left, Ji Jiuying asked Murong Zheng to release the spell on Jun Linyu. Murong Zheng thought for a moment and then lightly pressed a few acupoints on him.

The pain in his body made Jun Linyu frown, and he looked at everyone in a daze. Finally, his gaze settled on Ji Jiuying, who was smiling at him in a half-smile. How had she recovered?

And wasn't he with Ye Qingchen and the Second Prince of Western Jin...? How did he end up here? And what happened to his injuries?

A cold voice pulled him back to reality, "Jun Linyu, tell me, how do you want to die?"

Ji Jiuying stood up and walked step by step toward Jun Linyu. Her red dress trailed on the ground, her black hair cascaded down like a waterfall and swayed in the wind. Her small face smiled more deeply, like a bewitching demon who could bring ruin to a country. It seemed as if her life force would be taken away at any moment. Although it wasn't the first time everyone had seen her, they were still amazed by her beauty.

Jun Linyu was stunned. She was clearly smiling, but he could feel a bone-chilling coldness emanating from her.

"Ji Jiuying, no matter what, I am still a prince of Cangyue Kingdom. Killing me is tantamount to offending the royal family." Jun Linyu's voice trembled slightly, whether from fear or pain from his injuries, it was hard to tell.

Ji Jiuying toyed with the dagger in her hand. In the sunlight, the dagger gleamed with a cold, silvery light that was extremely chilling.

"Do you think the emperor would lay a hand on me, his savior, for the sake of a traitor who sold out his country?"

Jun Linyu's mind went blank. She knew everything! Yes, she was no longer the same person she used to be.

Moreover, she still has the Divine Dragon in her possession, so her father would not offend Ji Jiuying for his sake.

But what did he do wrong? His mother, his brother, and his maternal grandfather's family were all executed by his father, and he was exiled to the desolate frontier of Liaodong. All he wanted was to reclaim everything that originally belonged to him. What did he do wrong?

Ignoring the fear and resentment in his eyes, Ji Jiuying parted her lips slightly, "Even in defeat, if the Third Prince were in the Nanfeng Pavilion, he would definitely be the top courtesan..."

"If I were to entertain guests, I could probably earn a lot of spirit stones..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jun Linyu flew into a rage. His sinister pupils suddenly contracted as he stared intently at Ji Jiuying in front of him. His gaze was like that of a vicious wolf in a demon forest, wanting to tear the person in front of him to pieces with its fangs.

How dare she humiliate him like this! If one day she falls into his hands, he will surely strip her naked and tear her to pieces.

"You bitch! How dare you..."

Before he could finish speaking, a shrill scream rang out in the courtyard, followed by the strong smell of blood.

Ji Jiuying's sword was stained with blood, dripping, dripping!

Blood streamed down Jun Linyu's face, and intense pain surged through every nerve in his body. His body was frozen in place, and he tried to cover his wounds but was powerless to do so.

"You vile woman, you call me a traitor? How noble do you think you are? You're the one who's colluding with the second prince of Western Jin!"

Ji Jiuying chuckled lightly, her smile somewhat eerie. "You found out? Anyone who knows my secret will only meet a dead end, but—I won't let you die so easily."

Jun Linyu has suffered so many losses at her hands, yet he still dares to provoke her and even tries to defile her. Such a person deserves to die!

Ji Jiuying's blood-stained sword was mercilessly pointed at Jun Linyu's dantian. The sword tip was extremely sharp, and if she exerted even a little force, he would immediately bleed on the spot!

Jun Linyu's face instantly turned ashen, veins bulging on his forehead, and a terrifying voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, "Ji Jiuying, you better not fall into my hands, or I will definitely... kill you!"

When everyone heard Jun Linyu say such lewd words to Ji Jiuying, they couldn't sit still any longer. But before they could react, with a "plop," blood splattered everywhere, and a few drops of blood landed on her fair face, adding to her captivating beauty.

Sunlight fell on her stunning face, and a few drops of bright red blood set off the blood lotus between her brows, making her look so alluring and captivating.

Blood gushed from Jun Linyu's dantian; his spiritual root was completely shattered. His screams grew increasingly agonizing, echoing throughout the Princess's mansion...

His face was contorted in pain, his facial wounds were bloody and mangled, and his body wounds, which were left untreated, were like red spring water. He was in so much pain that he wanted to die but could not!
