Just a maid.
Even if she "accidentally" killed him, it was because of her own frail body and the servants' negligence. At worst, she still had the idiot Shen Ningxue as a shield.
A Yan cared about her so much, how could he have a grudge against her over a servant?
"What are you standing there for? Didn't you hear what I said?"
The guards at the door looked at each other, and felt that they should not offend the princess for a slave, so they stepped forward to grab Liu Zhiyi.
She sneered.
"It is truly ridiculous that a guard of the Prince's Mansion would help outsiders bully the people in his own mansion."
"As servants, you should have some self-awareness and think clearly about who your master is. Are you sure that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince won't kill you if you do this?"
Guard: ...
The two men stopped and looked hesitant.
Jiang Qingyi chuckled softly, holding the handkerchief to her lips, as if she had heard a joke.
"I, your humble servant, am as sharp-tongued as your vulgar master. Since that's the case, I, the princess, will show you today who is truly lacking in self-awareness."
"Don't do anything yet, are you all just eating for free?"
The guards were getting closer and closer, and Liu Zhiyi's heart tightened. She knew that Jiang Qingyi was coming for Chen Ningzhu.
Since we can’t move Shen Ningzhu for the time being, we’ll start with her.
Besides, her current status was just a slave, and Jiang Qingyi was a princess, so even if she was beaten to death, no one would say anything.
Liu Zhiyi frowned and looked at Jiang Qingyi, and sure enough, he saw a vicious light flashing in her eyes like a venomous snake.
That is murderous intent.
She really wanted to kill her, and that board was definitely not an ordinary board, but one that was tampered with.
No, she absolutely cannot surrender.
Liu Zhiyi narrowed his eyes, suddenly turned around and ran towards the crowded and bustling street market.
The others had never expected that a servant would be so bold. They all stood there in a daze, and then hurried after them after they realized what was happening.
"Stop now, you dare!"
"Stop, don't run."
Liu Zhiyi rolled her eyes while running. Tsk, do you think she is stupid? If she doesn't run, she will be killed?
The only way now is to try to delay time and wait for Chen Ningzhu and the prince to return home, so that her crisis can be resolved.
Fortunately, she was in good physical condition and used all her strength, so the guards couldn't catch up with her at first.
The two stopped, looked at each other, and simultaneously performed light skills. After a few ups and downs, they flew into the air and landed in front of Liu Zhiyi, blocking her way.
Liu Zhiyi was so angry that he kept cursing.
Are you bullying her because she hasn't learned Qinggong?
His eyes rolled and he shouted loudly, "Help, help! Someone is robbing me."
Guard: ???
"Shut up! How dare you tarnish the reputation of the Prince's Mansion? Don't you want to live?" The two guards shouted angrily to stop her.
Liu Zhiyi sneered.
"So what? I'll die anyway if I'm caught by you. Rather than doing nothing and being murdered by that princess, it's better to die with both my life and my net broken, and die openly."
One of the guards kindly dissuaded him.
"Miss, you're overthinking it. The princess is only punishing you. When did she ever say she wanted your life?"
Liu Zhiyi shook his head firmly.
"You are wrong. That woman is jealous of my master's favor from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so she is trying every possible way to deal with her."
"Unfortunately, I failed several times, so I held a grudge against him. Today, I deliberately picked a fight."
"They're planning to use me as a target. Brothers, please be kind and let me go, or I'll really die."
While trying to persuade the two, Liu Zhiyi secretly adjusted his breathing, stored up his strength, and was ready to run again at any time.
Just as the two of them hesitated, they saw Zhier, the princess's maid, catching up with them.
"You little bitch, you dare to run away? You're dead. What are you two waiting for? Hurry and bring the person back to the Prince's Mansion."
The two sighed, cast sympathetic eyes towards Liu Zhiyi, and whispered, "Miss, I'm sorry, we are just following orders. Please don't make things difficult for us."
"Yes, we are of low status and cannot afford to offend a noble like the princess. Now, you can only blame yourself for your bad luck."
Liu Zhiyi looked at the two cautiously, stepping back quietly. "Follow orders? When did the Prince's Mansion change its owner?"
The two men shook their heads helplessly, unwilling to argue with her anymore, and planned to go forward and forcibly take the person back.
Liu Zhiyi seized the opportunity and acted quickly, inserting a silver needle into the sleeping points of each of the two men.
Plop——
The two men opened their eyes wide and fell silently.
Liu Zhiyi looked up at Zhier again. The other party was now scared silly. Her eyes widened in fear and she pointed at Liu Zhiyi with a trembling voice.
"You...what kind of magic did you use? Why did they suddenly...help, someone, help..."
"Shut up."
Liu Zhiyi used the same trick again and gave Zhier an injection.
There was no one nearby, so Liu Zhiyi took the opportunity to escape. He just ran through an alley and then retreated back.
If he hadn't seen correctly, there seemed to be a... person lying in that alley? Instinctively, Liu Zhiyi decided to go check it out.
The alley was very narrow and there was no one around. The man was wearing a black Shu brocade robe and a half-silver mask on his face. He seemed to be unconscious.
Liu Zhiyi frowned, reached out to feel the other person's pulse, and then quickly took out silver needles and inserted them into several acupuncture points.
Not long after, the man slowly opened his eyes and said blankly:
"Who is this girl? What's wrong with me?"
Liu Zhiyi pushed the man away from her arms, stood up, and said, "You were born with a weak constitution, brought with you from the womb. This illness cannot be cured, and can only be carefully nursed back to health."
"Don't run around if you have nothing to do in the future. If you hadn't met me just now, who knows what would have happened!"
The man stood up and took out a jade pendant to give to Liu Zhiyi to express his gratitude.
"This jade pendant can fulfill one of your wishes. If you need anything in the future, go to the Hongfu Inn in the east of the city and find Shopkeeper Li. Tell him what you need and he will do his best to help you."
Liu Zhiyi was a little hesitant.
She liked to pay in cash, so why did this jade pendant feel like a blank check? She didn't know who the other party was, so she couldn't be sure of the gold content of the jade pendant.
But when I thought about how I didn't do anything, I just gave him a few injections, I felt relieved.
"Okay, it's alright then. I'll be leaving first."
"Girl, see you later."
Liu Zhiyi smiled, waved his hand casually and left. As he walked, he thought to himself, what the hell? The world is so big, how can it be so easy to meet someone?
Just as I was thinking about it, I was blocked by someone.
Princess Qingyi in front of him smiled fiercely, "Hey, you are a very good runner, why don't you run anymore?"
Liu Zhiyi's mouth twitched wildly.
Was this woman determined to kill her? She brought so many people after her?
If she had known this, she would never have meddled in other people's business.
"For this princess—"
