"Your Highness! A lot of people suddenly rushed in from nowhere!"
When Prince Lin heard this, he subconsciously looked at Yin Huaixu, who had a sullen face.
"Are your people here?!"
Yin Huaixu didn't say anything, but his eyes fell on the dagger in Prince Lin's hand that was held at Ying Xixi's neck.
The meaning was clear. As long as King Lin took back the dagger, he would tell him what he wanted to know.
Prince Lin gritted his teeth and retracted his dagger.
"Can you speak now?"
Yin Huaixu smiled, "Didn't the prince say that Chengzhou is your territory?
Don’t you know if there are any enemies of yours in your territory?”
Prince Lin gritted his teeth, said nothing, turned his sleeves and walked away through the secret passage.
The dark room was quiet again. Ying Xixi pricked up her ears to listen to the noise outside, but she heard nothing.
The sound insulation of this dark room is so good?
"Xixi! How are you?"
Yin Huaixu asked worriedly, stood up and walked in front of Ying Xixi, looking carefully at her snow-white neck.
Ying Xixi: “???”
"Ah Xu, you untied the rope just like that? When did you untie it?"
"Just now, this knot is so simple, it can be untied easily."
As Yin Huaixu spoke, he untied the ropes on Ying Xixi.
"Let's go up now. We've been performing a show with Prince Lin all night, and it's time to end it."
Ying Xixi: “?”
She, who was cooperating in the performance, didn't know what play was being performed tonight until it was almost over.
What kind of play is directed by Yin Huaixu?
Ying Xixi followed Yin Huaixu into the secret passage and left the dark room.
Outside, An Yi was waiting there, safe and sound.
Seeing the two people coming out, he said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, everything is ready."
"Well, go out and take a look."
Yin Huaixu took Ying Xixi's hand and walked out of the yard and came to the main courtyard.
I saw that King Lin, who had been so arrogant just now, had been restrained.
The guards of Ying Mansion were also controlled by the men in black.
Now the entire Ying Prefecture has been surrounded and controlled by Yin Huaixu's men.
The reversal came so unexpectedly.
Ying Xixi observed these men in black and found that they seemed to be Yin Huaixu's dragon guards.
The Dragon Guards are more powerful and stronger than the Dark Guards, and there are more of them.
So these dragon guards have been secretly protecting them all the way?
No wonder Yin Huaixu was so confident.
Ying Xixi was also relieved.
Prince Lin's rebellion ended before it even began in earnest.
When Prince Lin saw Yin Huaixu and Ying Xixi appear hand in hand, his expression of shock was very obvious.
"You! You guys! You actually..."
"Quite surprised, huh? You kept saying Chengzhou was your territory, but this is all you've got?"
Yin Huaixu sneered, "You couldn't even find out that I brought people with me. You are really incompetent as a prince!
You are plotting rebellion, and your crime deserves death! Tonight is the day your Ying family dies!"
The crime of treason is enough to punish the entire family by execution.
Prince Lin's eyes widened. "You! You dog emperor! Don't you want to know what's in the cave outside the city?!"
"If I wanted to know, I would have sent someone to check it out. You don't need to tell me. Everyone, listen to my orders. Arrest all members of the Ying family and behead them tomorrow!
The rest of the servants will be strictly interrogated. If anyone knows anything about this, they will be beheaded!"
Yin Huaixu ordered sternly.
"yes!"
Prince Lin was carried away by two dragon guards, still shouting, "You damned emperor! I will never give up! The throne belongs to me!"
He couldn't shout out the rest of the words because Long Wei covered his mouth.
After Prince Lin, it was Ying Xixi who was escorted out of the house by the Dragon Guards.
Ying Xixi's eyes just met hers.
She saw apology in Ying Xixi's eyes.
Soon, the Ying family members and their servants were taken under control by the Dragon Guards and locked up in a yard somewhere under strict guard, awaiting interrogation and beheading the next day.
Yin Huaixu took Ying Xixi back to the courtyard where they stayed.
Sitting at the table, drinking warm tea, Ying Xixi was still a little dazed.
The rebellion she thought was going to be so great ended just like that?
She had even wondered if Prince Lin had a backup plan, such as an archer appearing out of nowhere and shooting an arrow at Yin Huaixu.
She protected Yin Huaixu and was killed by a blow, completing the death plot, and then reborn as Ying Xixi.
But the plot she expected did not happen.
Yin Huaixu ordered the Dragon Guards to capture Prince Lin.
So, will she still die as Wang Xixi now?
Ying Xixi was at a loss.
The system was also confused.
[Host, the male protagonist is so powerful. Where did his dragon guards come from?
I, a high-tech system, didn't even notice these dragon guards!
Not to mention discovering the male protagonist's secret arrangements! 】
Ying Xixi: “….”
“So he’s the male lead.
System, then I won’t die, right?”
[Host, I don’t know either. Tomorrow, Ying Xixi, the legitimate daughter of Prince Lin, will die.
How about we wait until tomorrow and see if you will become her after she dies? 】
Ying Xixi: “….”
"System, have you forgotten that Prince Lin's entire family will be beheaded tomorrow?
His legitimate daughter will also be beheaded!
Even my head is gone, do you think I can be reborn as her?
System: [.......Sorry host, I forgot about this.
Well, as for whether you'll die and be reborn, I'm not sure. We can only live our lives like this and see how things go.]
Ying Xixi sighed silently, and felt as if an invisible sword was hanging above her neck.
"Okay, we can only take it one step at a time."
After Ying Xixi finished talking to the system, Yin Huaixu's worried voice sounded beside them.
"Xixi, are you scared?"
Ying Xixi came back to her senses and smiled at Yin Huaixu, who looked worried.
"I wasn't scared, I just felt that this turn of events was too sudden.
We were being threatened by King Lin the moment before, and he was under control the next moment.
Ah Xu, those guards are your dragon guards, right?"
Yin Huaixu comforted Ying Xixi and held her in his arms, "Yes, they are Dragon Guards.
They have been protecting us secretly since we left the capital.
During the day, with your reminder and my discovery that something was wrong with King Lin, I ordered them to keep a close eye on it.
Once you and I are captured by King Lin, they will immediately appear, surround Ying Mansion, and capture King Lin first.
I thought Prince Lin would not take action against us so quickly, but I didn't expect that he would take action immediately after we arrived at Ying Mansion today.
Fortunately, everything went well and he didn’t hurt you.”
Yin Huaixu rubbed his chin lightly against Ying Xixi's forehead, feeling a little scared.
God knows when he saw that Prince Lin dared to put the sword on Xixi's neck, he wanted to kill that bastard Prince Lin immediately!
He was so angry that the girl he held in his hands was actually threatened by that bastard!
