Lin Yunzhi didn't look at the commotion over there; he was still counting on his fingers, doing something.
It's unclear what he's calculated, but he smiled and gestured to the servants of the Lin family.
The servants immediately adjusted their formation, but in just a moment, screams rang out again.
Having already gained some experience in cursing, Ye Qingwan was taken aback when she heard the shout, and then laughed.
She understood the Princess Consort of Pingnan; seeing that she couldn't kill her directly, she wanted to use a strategy of encirclement and assassination.
However, none of Princess Pingnan's actions could escape Lin Yunzhi's calculations.
Ye Qingwan had seen people perform divination before, but she had never seen anyone like Lin Yunzhi who could perform so many divinations in a single day without making a mistake.
At this moment, Ye Qingwan had a vague feeling that they might actually have a chance to kill Princess Pingnan today.
The thought of this possibility made her excited again.
She said to Fan Xilou, "You go in with me in a bit and kill that old hag!"
Fan Xilou: "..."
Although he wanted to kill Princess Pingnan, he felt that the word "kill" was a bit strange.
Ye Qingwan now has absolutely no image to speak of.
He coughed lightly and said, "Princess, calm down!"
Ye Qingwan looked at him with bright, sparkling eyes and said, "I can't calm down about this!"
"You have no idea how long I've wanted to kill that old hag!"
"It's a rare opportunity like this, how could I not be excited!"
Fan Xilou chuckled. He and the Princess Consort of Pingnan had a blood feud, so he must have been quite agitated at this moment.
But when he saw how excited Ye Qingwan was, he realized that he couldn't muster any excitement himself.
He also noticed that the scars on her face had faded considerably since their last meeting, and she looked radiant and charming, which made his heart beat faster involuntarily.
Ye Qingwan grabbed his hand and said, "If we kill that old hag today, the Pingnan Prince's Mansion will belong to you, brother."
"In this case, I don't need to marry the second son of the powerful Qu family. Why don't you marry me instead!"
Fan Xilou's face flushed instantly. He tried to pull his hand back, but she held on tightly.
He was afraid that pulling back too hard would hurt her, so he had to give up.
He coughed lightly and said, "Princess Pingnan is not dead yet, let's discuss this matter later!"
Ye Qingwan asked him with a stern face, "You promised to marry me last time, are you going to back out today?"
"No...no, no, that's not it!" Fan Xilou stammered, "The situation is dangerous right now, and important matters are more important."
Ye Qingwan asked him, "Isn't marriage a serious matter?"
Fan Xilou scratched his head: "This is certainly a serious matter, but it's not really appropriate to discuss it now..."
When he got to this point, he saw Ye Qingwan's slightly teasing look and her suppressed laughter, and he knew that she was teasing him again.
He sighed inwardly and withdrew his hand: "Princess, let's go kill the Princess Consort of Pingnan first!"
He turned and ran away after saying that.
Ye Qingwan laughed out loud, and Fan Xilou's heart pounded wildly. He felt that if this continued, he would be tortured to death by her.
Watching their interaction, Lin Yunzhi sighed inwardly, "Youth is truly wonderful!"
Qu Shuangyue had already shouldered her broadsword and led her servants in a counterattack.
Since all the guards from the royal palace who had just arrived had been killed, they could now launch an attack.
When strength is insufficient, divide and conquer.
When the two sides are evenly matched, it's definitely more satisfying to just take action directly!
If Lin Xiuyan were here, she would probably be quite surprised to see the fighting prowess of these servants.
She had trained this group of servants because she was afraid that Zhou Chenyang would retaliate against the Lin family, and she even led them to fight against enemies.
At that time, their fighting ability was only slightly stronger than that of ordinary servants, but they were just enough to defend the Lin residence.
Now their fighting strength is many times greater than before, and they are not inferior even when facing the top guards of the Prince's Mansion.
It's impossible for these people to have improved so much in such a short time, so it's only possible that they were originally this powerful and were just hiding their true strength.
Lin Yunzhi appeared calm and composed at this moment, giving orders with ease, a stark contrast to his usual gentle and mild demeanor in front of Lin Xiuyan.
Under his command, the servants moved in perfect unison, following the formation's positions, and their killing power was immense.
Upon closer examination, the Lin family's true trump card is not Qu Shuangyue, but Lin Yunzhi, who appears to be the most frail.
They quickly killed all the guards stationed on the outermost perimeter.
Seeing that things were going badly, Yan Nan hurriedly said to Princess Pingnan, "Your Highness, they've broken in! Let's go!"
Princess Pingnan had great confidence in the people she had trained, but today they were killed by Lin Xiuyan and then by Lin Yunzhi.
This situation gave her the illusion that everyone around her was useless!
She retorted angrily, "They can't even kill the Lin family's servants, and they can't even stop them?"
Yan Nan was also puzzled by this situation, and said, "These people are highly skilled in martial arts and are not ordinary servants. I don't know where Lin Yunzhi found them."
"Your Highness, the situation is far too dangerous right now. This is not the time to worry about these things. Please leave immediately!"
Princess Pingnan looked extremely unpleasant; she had gone to great lengths to drive Prince Pingnan out of the palace.
Her intention was to occupy the Prince's mansion so that she would have the initiative.
But now, the people from the Lin family who ran in from outside were able to drive her out of the Prince's mansion!
What's most infuriating is that most of her men have gone to pursue the Prince of Pingnan, leaving her with only these few men.
Ye Mingzhu said from the side, "Mother, Ye Qingwan's insults are too vile. We must find a way to kill her!"
Yan Nan felt a little tired after hearing this. Ye Mingzhu and Ye Qingwan were both young ladies from the royal family, but their abilities were far apart.
After today's incident, Ye Mingzhu stayed by the side of Princess Pingnan, while Ye Jingxian led his troops to surround and kill Prince Pingnan.
Princess Pingnan didn't intend to send so many people out to kill Ye Qingwan the second time; it was Ye Mingzhu who stirred things up from the sidelines.
Looking back now, it was nothing more than Ye Qingwan's scheme to lure the enemy.
They had already set up a formation outside, just waiting for the guards to come over so they could kill them all.
If they stay here and don't move, I'm afraid the Lin family won't dare to attack directly.
Princess Pingnan asked Yan Nan, "How many people do we have left?"
Yan Nan replied, "There are only forty or so left; the rest of the guards have been killed."
Princess Pingnan was quite surprised when she heard this number. She had only a few highly skilled guards left by her side!
Although she was ambitious, she was always calm.
The situation was clearly not right; the only safe course of action was to leave.
So she took a deep breath and said, "Leave through the back door."
Yan Nan secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. Even if Ye Mingzhu was unwilling, she had no choice but to follow.
