Lin Xiuyan smiled faintly: "Although Ye Jingxian is ruthless, he is not so audacious as to be this bold."
"The young master also said that this series of interconnected killings was not Ye Jingxian's doing at all; someone was secretly helping him devise the plan."
"I just experienced such meticulous and ruthless methods from the princess a few days ago."
"So I boldly guessed that the princess might have been involved in this matter."
“But the princess had a reason to kill me, and I knew that as long as I was here, the princess would definitely come to kill me.”
“I’ve been waiting here for the princess for quite a while now; she’s arrived a little later than I expected.”
After Lin Xiuyan finished speaking, she said to Qingyuan, "You may all step back. I want to have a private conversation with your princess about our daughters' matters."
Qingyuan, of course, was unwilling to back down, and stared wide-eyed at Lin Xiuyan.
Lin Xiuyan didn't take his attitude to heart at all, and said to Princess Anle with a smile, "Princess, why don't you try to persuade your guards!"
"I really just wanted to talk to you properly, I didn't mean to make your secret known to the whole world."
Princess Anle sensed the threat in her words and immediately said with a cold face, "All of you, step back."
Qingyuan exclaimed urgently, "Princess!"
Princess Anle said coldly, "Step back!"
Although Qingyuan was worried about him, since he had spoken at this moment, he could only reluctantly retreat with the guards.
Lin Xiuyan smiled and her eyes crinkled: "Thank you for coming to meet me, Princess. My escape this time will depend on you."
Princess Anle: "..."
Only now did he realize that Lin Xiuyan had long suspected he and Ye Jingxian were working together, and that she had been waiting for him all along.
He said coldly, "I underestimated you."
Lin Xiuyan smiled: "I would never dare to underestimate a princess."
Her goal was very clear from the beginning.
She used Ye Junfei's death as bait to get He Tongyin to take her to see Ye Jingxian.
After meeting Ye Jingxian, she used a weapon as bait to get him to release Ye Qingwan.
She knew that after she and Ye Qingwan were imprisoned, Ye Jingxian would definitely go looking for Ye Junfei's body, and Princess Anle would definitely take the opportunity to kill her.
All of this was tailored to their psychology, a series of schemes designed to give her a chance to survive.
If any one link in the chain goes wrong, she will die.
Fortunately, she guessed everything correctly.
She took out a net she had woven earlier and threw it into Princess Anle's hands.
Princess Anle asked, "What is this thing..."
Before he could finish his question, the net seemed to come alive and bound his hands.
He stared at the net in shock, then at Lin Xiuyan in disbelief: "Where did you get so many strange things?"
Lin Xiuyan had no intention of helping him understand; she grabbed his collar and pulled him into the room.
Princess Anle had never been pulled like this before. Her face flushed red, and she shouted angrily, "...How dare you!"
After Lin Xiuyan pulled him into the house, she kicked him in the back of the knee, causing him to fall to his knees.
Princess Anle: "!!!!!!!"
He was so angry that his face turned blue, but he couldn't do anything about Lin Xiuyan.
Lin Xiuyan pointed him in because she was afraid that Qingyuan would come in and take Princess Anle away.
Hostages should be kept in the nearest place for safekeeping.
Lin Xiuyan walked to the bedside and gently shook Ye Qingwan: "Wake up!"
Ye Qingwan's high fever had subsided slightly, but her mind was still foggy.
Seeing that she had opened her eyes, Lin Xiuyan said softly, "Qingwan, you can't sleep anymore. We have to find a way to escape."
"Once the night view returns, we won't be able to escape."
Ye Qingwan felt that she had no strength at all and knew that she was just a burden.
She looked at Lin Xiuyan and said, "I feel weak all over and can't walk at all."
"Go on your own, don't worry about me."
Lin Xiuyan was not surprised to hear this. Looking into her eyes, she said, "You are the only blood relative that the Crown Prince acknowledges in this world."
“I promised him that I would find a way to rescue you. He would be very sad if you died.”
Ye Qingwan smiled and said, "He has always disliked me, so why would he be sad for me?"
Lin Xiuyan said gently, "You and he are not only siblings from the same mother, but also twins. The bond between you is far beyond that of ordinary brothers and sisters."
"You know what kind of person he is. If you die, he will slaughter the entire Pingnan Prince's Mansion for you."
Ye Qingwan sighed softly upon hearing this.
Lin Xiuyan continued, "Besides, you've been bullied by those bastards in the Prince's Mansion since you were little. Are you willing to let them go unpunished while you die before them?"
Ye Qingwan took a deep breath and struggled to sit up in bed, saying, "You're right, I can't just die like this!"
Lin Xiuyan reached out to help her up and said, "Sit here and calm down. We'll leave here right away."
The sky was already showing signs of dawn, and a new day was about to begin.
Lin Xiuyan looked at Princess Anle and said, "Princess, I'm really sorry, you'll have to suffer from this from now on."
Princess Anle had a bad feeling when she heard this, and soon her premonition was confirmed.
Lin Xiuyan pulled him upstairs to the second floor and used the pieces of wood and rope she had found in the house to make a simple linkage device.
Then she tied Princess Anle up with a rope and hung her on the other end of the device.
However, Princess Anle knew that with Lin Xiuyan's resourceful and unpredictable methods, this matter was definitely not that simple.
He said in a deep voice, "Lin Xiuyan, put me down! I'll take you away from here!"
Lin Xiuyan smiled slightly: "Princess, I'm so sorry, I have absolutely no trust in you."
"I am alive only because of myself, I don't need anyone's help."
"Thank you for your hard work today. If you survive this, we might still be friends."
Princess Anle looked at her, and the faint morning light shone on her face.
The girl's eyes and brows showed signs of weariness, but her eyes were frighteningly bright.
Her already pretty face glowed with a pale, cool light in the morning sun, as delicate and beautiful as a white poppy just beginning to bloom.
It is beautiful, and it can be breathtaking.
Princess Anle's unease intensified, and she asked, "What are you going to do?"
Lin Xiuyan did not answer, but instead stepped hard on the transmission device.
In an instant, Princess Anle's body slid down to the eaves.
From the outside, she looked as if she were hanging from a roof beam.
Lin Xiuyan shouted, "I know I can't escape today, so I've decided to die together with Princess Anle!"
After she finished speaking, she picked up a bucket of oil and poured it on Princess Anle.
Princess Anle felt a buzzing in her head: "Lin Xiuyan, you're a madwoman!"
Although he wasn't quite sure what Lin Xiuyan was planning, he was certain it wouldn't be anything good!
