With just one sound and two words, Yue'er froze in her tracks, and she felt as if a thorn in her back was instantly seen.

Could it be that Prince Li discovered her and wanted to kill her to silence her?

Thinking of this, his face turned pale.

She stood there stiffly, watching the man walking towards her step by step. Her body couldn't help but tense up a little, and even her breathing became tight.

"Li... His Royal Highness Prince Li..."

The man approached, squinting his eyes and looking at her:

"Is your name Yue'er?"

He was calm and relaxed, looking as if he was at home. He would not shy away from suspicion even if he was discovered.

Yue'er was a little flustered:

“Yes, yes…”

How come it seemed like Prince Li was the owner of this palace, and she was the scoundrel who was caught on the spot?

No!

How could she be frightened by King Li?

She must tell the princess about this! Let the princess know the true face of the prince!

The prince is close to the princess because he has evil intentions and ulterior motives!

Zong Zhengli smiled:

"Yue'er, last time at the Gu family, I told you about the Gu family's conspiracy and asked you to ask Princess Chen to leave. But why did you only ask Princess Chen to leave and not warn others?"

"Look at you. Because of your selfishness, you killed Zhang Fei."

"!"

Yue'er's eyes suddenly widened and she looked at the man in front of her with horror.

He knows!

He knew that she was the one who caused the harm...

When I think of what happened that night, I can't help but think of the bloody scene of Zhang Fei being blown to pieces...

Lots of blood, broken bones, cracked flesh, eyeballs rolling out, trembling breaths...

As soon as he thought about it, his face turned three shades paler:

"No, it's not me..."

She shook her head in panic, speaking incoherently: "It wasn't me... No..."

"That day, I was in the dark and saw it clearly. Zhang Fei is the right-hand man of Princess Chen. Yue'er, you can't be so cruel. If Qin Ye knew the truth..."

The man looked at her, with a slight curve at the corner of his lips.

He was smiling, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

The deep meaning contained in the lingering sound of the unspoken words made Yue'er feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, with a deadly chill from head to toe.

If the princess knew that she was the one who killed Zhang Fei, she would definitely be disappointed with her and drive her out of Chen Wang Mansion!

If the princess knew...

Imagining the consequences, I felt completely hopeless.

The man walked slowly forward and leisurely came to her side.

When they were side by side, he glanced at her trembling face and smiled faintly:

"Today, the king has not been here."

After saying this, he left.

Yue'er stood stiffly where she was. It was a sunny day, but she felt her hands and feet were cold and her breathing was short, as if she was standing in the snow in winter.

Especially cold.

If the princess knew, she would not be able to marry Master Jing.

If the princess knew that she not only killed Zhang Fei but also put the blame on Yun Ying, she would definitely beat her to death!

.

In the city, by the lake.

Qin Ye and Tong Fei sat opposite each other, basking in the sun and chatting, watching the busy people coming and going, the children running around and playing, and in the blink of an eye, two or three quarters of an hour passed.

"Sorry for the wait."

Zong Zhengli is back.

He was holding a bag of snacks wrapped in oil paper. "There are quite a lot of people in the teahouse today, and they are takeout, so we have to wait in line for a while."

He walked over, placed the snacks on the long stone bench, and unwrapped them one by one.

Nuts, cakes, dried fish, melon seeds.

They are all delicious food to kill time.

Qin Ye tilted his head and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, King Li."

He raised his eyes, smiling with his features as gentle as the sunshine today: "As long as Xiaoye likes it."

Concubine Tong, who was sitting nearby, saw this and looked grumpy.
