Chapter 90

The Fifth Prince sat on a chair, his eyes covered with a layer of white cloth, and he smelled faintly of medicinal herbs.

His fingers tapped gently on his knees, and he said to Eunuch Zheng: "Lock her up and wake her up."

Ye Jingyue's hands were locked with two chains, and then a basin of cold water was poured down, chilling her to the bone.

She opened her eyes in fear, and the chains on her wrists clattered.

When she saw the Fifth Prince, her face turned pale, her hands were locked on the corner of the table in the room, and she retreated in fear.

"You...you..."

The Fifth Prince was very satisfied with the fear in her voice, and a contemptuous smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"I have been thinking for the past few days, how could you be the granddaughter of Tianji Elder? So, I have been investigating in the imperial city, and finally, I found you."

Ye Jingyue pretended to retreat, with a frightened expression on her face.

"How could you find me?"

The fifth prince laughed.

"It was indeed difficult to find you. Today, Beiqing Academy opened. I was originally an arithmetic teacher in the girls' school. As early as when Gu Jingchen was teaching, we, the teaching teachers, were watching you from behind the screen. Then, I heard your voice."

Ye Jingyue was very outstanding today.

Other people's voices could not be heard, but her voice was heard all day.

"It shouldn't be!" Ye Jingyue was very confused, "My voice is obviously different from that day."

That day, she deliberately created a weak feeling, and her voice was so loud that it could kill flies.

She spoke in a normal way with arrogance today.

It was different from that day.

The smile on the face of the fifth prince deepened.

"I have had a skill since I was a child. I can identify a person based on his voice. Even if your voice today is different from that day, I can roughly feel that it is you. Of course, I need to confirm. I just need to find someone who knows you and listen to him describe your appearance, and then it will match, right?"

The fifth prince has the ability to recognize people by their voices.

Even if Ye Jingyue hid it well, she heard a familiar taste in Ye Jingyue's voice.

Of course, he needs to confirm.

Eunuch Zheng had no choice but to confirm this candidate.

Eunuch Zheng perfectly repeated Ye Jingyue's facial features to the Fifth Prince.

The Fifth Prince compared Ye Jingyue with the person he had met that day and realized it was Ye Jingyue.

Ye Jingyue nodded in understanding.

Yes, Gu Jingchen is the male protagonist. In the early stage, he was fooled around by the Fifth Prince, proving that the Fifth Prince is indeed capable.

Ye Jingyue was too lazy to pretend.

"Amazing, awesome. I admire you."

The Fifth Prince heard her voice gradually become calm and normal.

"No more pretending,"

Ye Jingyue smiled.

"I pretended for others that day because there were people present. No one is around today, so why should I pretend?"

The Fifth Prince frowned.

If it weren't for the white cloth covering his eyes, this should have been a squinting action.

"Who was the person who hurt me that day? Did you conspire to plot against me?"

"No." Ye Jingyue answered sincerely, "I plotted against you and let him see your true face."

"Who was he?"

"My cousin, Gu Jingchen."

The fifth prince suddenly stood up from the chair, his demeanor suddenly turned gloomy.

"Impossible!"

He pretended very well in front of Gu Jingchen, and Gu Jingchen absolutely could not know his true face.

"Don't panic!" Ye Jingyue comforted him, "My cousin is pure and kind, and he believes in you. You pretended so well, he would not be able to find out. But..."

Ye Jingyue changed the subject with a malicious tone.

"But I know your true face, and I just found out that the yellow dog has set its eyes on me, so I let the yellow dog take me away, and then left clues for my cousin to catch up with and see your true face. Your eyes were stabbed by your cousin, as for why he stabbed your eyes, you should be able to guess it since you are so smart."

Why?

Why else?

Of course, he was afraid that the fifth prince would find Ye Jingyue.

Originally, he thought that as long as he destroyed the fifth prince's eyes, Ye Jingyue would be safe here.

Unexpectedly, he was still found by the fifth prince.

The fifth prince clenched his fists, and his emotions went out of control in an instant. The white cloth on his face could not cover the ferocious expression on his face.

"It's you! You bastard, I will make you wish you were dead today!"

The fifth prince waved at Eunuch Zheng.

"Eunuch Zheng, now is your time for revenge. Be ruthless. I want to hear her miserable screams. The more miserable, the better."

"Yes!"

Eunuch Zheng took out a dagger that could cut iron like mud from his body. The sharp blade flashed with cold light. With overwhelming hatred in his eyes, he approached Ye Jingyue step by step.

Ye Jingyue looked at the hatred in Eunuch Zheng's eyes, tilted her head, and looked innocent.

"Why do you hate me? Did I cut you off or did I destroy your family? I find you are unreasonable people. I didn't provoke you from the beginning to the end!"

"It's all your fault!" Eunuch Zheng's voice was particularly sharp. "It's because of your appearance that broke the plan. My family and I have fallen into such a miserable state. I will torture you to death bit by bit today!"

The voice of the fifth prince was as venomous as a venomous snake.

"After I kill you, it will be your mother, brother, sister, and Gu Jingchen's turn!"

Speaking of Gu Jingchen, he gritted his teeth.

It was Gu Jingchen who destroyed his eyes.

He talked to Gu Jingchen after the accident.

He thought of Gu Jingchen's concerned look at that time...

Ha!

Gu Jingchen's acting skills are on par with his!

Ye Jingyue smiled and said, "Fifth Prince, do you know what someone who talks as much as you is called?"

"Yeah."

"Villains die because they talk too much."

The Fifth Prince laughed contemptuously.

"You talk a lot too, you will die first. And you betrayed Gu Jingchen."

If Ye Jingyue hadn't said it, he wouldn't have guessed it was Gu Jingchen.

Ye Jingyue pulled the iron chain on her hand, her tone unhurried.

"Tell me, is it possible... that you won't survive today"

Eunuch Zheng's dagger had already slashed down towards her face.

Ye Jingyue waved her hand lightly, and the iron chain broke instantly. She flipped her wrist easily and caught Eunuch Zheng's arm. She pinched his wrist lightly, and Eunuch Zheng screamed miserably, and the dagger fell.

Ye Jingyue raised her foot and kicked, and the dagger slashed across Eunuch Zheng's face, leaving a sharp blood mark.

At the same time, she raised her foot and kicked Eunuch Zheng directly.

Eunuch Zheng's body broke through the wall of the farmhouse, fell outside, spit out blood, and fainted.

Ye Jingyue's movement was too big, and even though the Fifth Prince couldn't see it, he heard the sound of the chain breaking.

He stood up suddenly, his whole body was shaking, and his eyes were bloodshot.

"How is it possible!"
