Nangong Jing sat at the desk in the study, his eyes still cloudy. The guard kneeling in front of the desk raised his head angrily: "How can that crazy woman be worthy of the prince!"
Nangong Jing put his hand to his lips and coughed painfully. He lowered his eyes slightly to look at the blood in his hand, and a hint of sneer appeared on his face.
"He is worried about me. Even if I were blind, he would not spare my life. He let that crazy woman marry him. Humiliating me is not the first priority. I am afraid that he is testing me more. If I resist too fiercely, I am afraid that the situation will become more difficult."
"Then this marriage..."
Nangong Jing wiped the blood off his hands and said softly: "You can go down, I have my own plans."
Lin Jiuxi had been changed into new clothes by the servants before being taken into the pigsty. The maid whose mouth she had stuffed with pig manure kicked her with a gloomy face before she locked the door of the pigsty again and walked out.
"Life is hard, tsk."
If she wanted to get out of the General's Mansion, which was completely murky, the only way was to marry Nangong Jing. With her medical skills, she could make a deal with him and maybe...

Lin Jiuxi looked at the bed that was haphazardly made of straw, and couldn't help but sigh that he was a field doctor in his previous life and had saved countless lives, but he ended up like this.
The guards all looked a little bewildered. Nangong Jing clenched his hands in his sleeves imperceptibly, and then said calmly, "It turns out to be Miss Lin. You can go down and I will talk to Miss Lin."
She had to find a way to escape now, but she had nothing and only had medical skills to rely on. If she escaped rashly...
Lin Jiuxi was feeling worried when she saw a scoundrel-looking man walking towards her with a smile. He raised his hand to touch her face and said, "Little sister, you are alone outside so late, why don't you..."
The rusty lock opened with a sound. Lin Jiuxi was delighted and quickly opened the door. He came to the courtyard wall in the cover of night and climbed out with his hand.
But in an instant, a strong wind blew past, and Lin Jiuxi's neck was suddenly strangled by the slender big hand.
Nangong Jing's eyes were still cloudy and his expression was quite indifferent: "There is no need to tell me about such a trivial matter. Just drag him out and behead him."
The night is dark.
Lin Jiuxi held his breath, climbed over the courtyard wall, and carefully jumped into the yard. He couldn't help but frowned as he looked at the complicated courtyard.
Nangong Jing's expression had long lost its previous indifference and coldness, replaced by a murderous intent that made one's spine shiver.
Several guards appeared beside her silently. Without waiting for Lin Jiuxi to struggle, they raised their hands, pressed her acupoints, and dragged her into the study.
She placed her palm across his neck as if to silence him, and frightened the man so much that he knelt down and kowtowed in panic: "Lady, keep walking forward, and you will find the largest mansion. There is a plaque at the door!"
It was late at night and there were few people on the road.
But life on the battlefield wasn't much better than here. Lin Jiuxi sighed and resigned himself to his fate as he lay down on the pile of straw. Suddenly, something hard hit his waist.
Nangong Jing barely dodged the fierce kick that almost killed him off, and his expression became even colder: "Lin Jiuxi, could it be that you came alone to tell me that you knew this secret because you thought I wouldn't dare to kill you to silence you?"
Lin Jiuxi frowned and raised his hand to take the thing out. When he saw the appearance of the thing clearly, his eyes were stunned, and then his brows gradually frowned deeper.
Lin Jiuxi felt that he was almost suffocating. His eyes turned cold and he raised his legs to kick the man in the lower body.
She couldn't help but feel a little surprised at the original owner's "madness".
Fish scales?
"My Lord, we caught an assassin!"
The guards obeyed the order and retreated. Nangong Jing's eyes burst into a chill under the scales as thin as cicada wings, and then he raised his hand and wiped it, revealing a pair of eyes as clear as stars.
As soon as his hand reached Lin Jiuxi, the woman put it behind his back, and his wrist immediately made a crisp sound of broken joints.
Lin Jiuxi gritted her teeth and raised her head, and saw that the man's gaze did not turn in the direction of her voice, but was staring straight into the void. She couldn't help but become more certain of her guess.
Lin Jiuxi lowered his eyes to look into the man's eyes, and seeing that he did not seem to be lying, he raised his hand and hit him on the back of the head, knocking him unconscious, and then walked towards the direction of Prince Duan's Mansion.
Lin Jiuxi covered the man's mouth and dragged him to an alley, then threw him to the ground: "Don't waste my time, otherwise..."
"You make it even harder for me to see through you."
The memories that the original owner left her only lasted until the year he went mad at the age of fourteen. All her memories after that were blank. But how could a madman hold this key?
She took cover of the bushes and slowly moved towards the main house. Seeing a servant passing by, she was delighted and was about to knock the man unconscious and take off his clothes, but her wrist was grabbed tightly.
Lin Jiuxi pursed her lips slightly. There might be some bigger conspiracy behind this matter. It is very likely that the original owner pretended to be crazy in order to avoid disaster!
This was a brass key that had been rubbed to a shine and did not show many signs of use. Lin Jiuxi tiptoed to the lock and seeing that there was no one around, he raised his hand and inserted the key into the keyhole.
"Wait a minute, Your Majesty! I am your fiancée, Lin Jiuxi!"
"Your Majesty, can you give me a chance to talk to you alone? Otherwise, if too many people know about the fish scales, it won't be a good thing!"
"Of course the prince dares to kill people to silence them."
Lin Jiuxi covered his neck and took a step back, looking at the man in front of him with deep eyes: "Although the plan of pretending to be blind is clever, the man who wants to harm the prince will not stop just because the prince is blind. You have been poisoned. If you don't get rid of it in time, you will bleed from all seven orifices and die suddenly in less than three years!"
Nangong Jing's expression froze, and then a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "What can I win..."
Before he could finish his words, he coughed again. A few drops of bright red blood splattered on his white clothes, turning into red plum blossoms.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to deceive yourself."
