At this moment, the young man's handsome face, which was usually refined and otherworldly, was somewhat cold. However, when she looked over, it immediately softened. He slightly curled his lips and said, "Wouldn't it be annoying to have someone with ill intentions around?"
“Yes, then I can’t keep you by my side.” Xingxing looked at the boy, but her words were directed at Ye Ling’er.
Xingxing came over to see what Ye Ling'er was up to, and now she knows. However, she can't possibly meet Ye Ling'er's demands, even if Ye Ling'er goes to great lengths to disfigure her.
Ye Ling'er's actions did not reassure anyone; instead, they reminded everyone that this young girl was not simple and that they should not let her leave easily. Perhaps this was the result she wanted, so they decided to grant her wish and put her under house arrest.
At least that's what the emperor thought. Although he had agreed to let Ye Ling'er leave the capital because he felt sorry for her, he couldn't blame him for her restlessness.
Ye Ling'er was shrewd, but being only six years old, she didn't think things through carefully enough. She thought that self-harm would win everyone's sympathy and pity, but things didn't go as planned. Not only did she not gain any benefits, but she also ended up being imprisoned.
Two days later, Ye Ling'er was taken away by people sent by the emperor. Of course, Zhu Lin had been informed beforehand. The old woman from the Zhu family took Ye Ling'er to the side gate, and then the emperor's men escorted her away.
Ye Ling'er was unwilling and wanted to struggle again, but she could not find anyone to plead for her. These old women did not care about her life or death at all and had never felt sorry for her. Pleading for her would be in vain.
Looking at the group of people sent by the emperor, they were all expressionless and looked like they had hearts of stone. There was no need to try them out. Why was her life so miserable?
How unfair is God! With the same similar face and the same human being, some people are born princesses, while she was cursed as a money-loser from birth and could be abandoned at any time when fleeing from disaster.
At that time, Prince Gong and others rescued her from the refugees. She thought that she would be blessed with good fortune after surviving such a disaster. However, what awaited her was cruel training, then she was poisoned and sent to the palace to be a stand-in. The time she spent as a stand-in was the happiest time of her life, if you ignore the fact that she was poisoned.
Why were her good days so short? She was only six years old. What did she do?
Did she blind God in her past life, which is why God is so cruel and can't stand to see her doing well?
Not far from the Zhu residence, Zhang Xiantao, accompanied by several skilled guards, quietly followed the carriage. She had finally managed to find the Zhu residence, but before she could do anything, she suddenly witnessed this scene.
"Who is that little girl? Is she the fake princess?" The ministers all knew about Prince Gong's infiltration of the palace to assassinate the emperor.
General Dingyuan and his son were at the border and were unaware of what was happening in the capital. Madam Zhang heard the news from other ministers' wives and then told Zhang Xiantao.
Zhang Xiantao was somewhat smug about this, because she was the first to guess that the princess in the palace might be a fake, and she even ran into the real princess at the jewelry shop. Although she didn't end up being of any help, she was still pleased with her keen insight.
She had gone to great lengths to find out where the young man in white lived. She only learned about the Zhu family mansion yesterday. Today, she brought people here out of curiosity to climb over the wall and explore, but she wasn't in a hurry to explore the Zhu family mansion now.
She wanted to see who was being taken away in the carriage. Could it be a fake princess? If it was a fake, where would she be sent? Would they just kill her?
In pursuit of the truth, Zhang Xiantao decided to go and see for herself.
"Curiosity killed the cat. This young lady Zhang was too willful and reckless. It's just that we were kind-hearted, otherwise she wouldn't even know how she died." Zhu Qingruo scoffed as she watched Zhang Xiantao and her group leave.
From the day Zhang Xiantao deliberately caused trouble for Xingxing, the Zhu family began to keep an eye on her. The Zhang family quickly became the Zhu family's spies, and Zhang Xiantao's every move was under the control of Zhu Lin and others.
However, they discovered that Zhang Xiantao was just a somewhat spoiled little girl. Apart from being very curious, she had no bad intentions. She was a little clever, but also somewhat naive, and was not a threat.
Zhu Lin and the others didn't pay attention to her, only letting others keep an eye on her. Unexpectedly, this girl was quite capable, and in the end, she actually found out about the Zhu family. Originally, Zhu Qingruo wanted to teach her a lesson today, but unexpectedly, the girl was intrigued by the carriage and didn't climb over the wall to sneak into the Zhu family.
Fine, I'll let her off the hook today. Let her follow the emperor's men if she wants.
An hour later, Zhang Xiantao followed the carriage to the foot of a mountain and saw several burly old women and guards escorting a little girl wearing a veil up the mountain.
Zhang Xiantao also came by carriage, and didn't dare to get too close along the way. Her carriage had stopped a few hundred meters away, and then she ran over with her people.
She was panting heavily, gazing thoughtfully at the mountain before her. She asked the maid beside her, "Xiao Huan, I remember there seems to be a Taoist temple on this mountain, where a few nuns live, right?"
Xiao Huan nodded firmly, "Miss, there is indeed a nunnery on this mountain. There are not many nuns living there, and it is quite dilapidated. There are hardly any worshippers visiting it all year round. Only occasionally will villagers from nearby come to burn incense and pray. The nuns live a very hard life."
“Let’s follow them and see. These people aren’t as powerful as that boy in white. We can still find a way to get into the Taoist temple. I just want to see if she’s a fake princess,” Zhang Xiantao insisted.
What could her servants say? They couldn't persuade her, so they could only accompany her in her antics. The group quietly went up the mountain and hid in the shadows, waiting for their chance.
