Chapter 95 Good Things Are Coming Soon?
Ling Yumo remained silent beside the carriage, his delicate features, more refined than those of an average man, made him appear harmless.
Although his expression was somewhat indifferent, he didn't exude any murderous aura and looked like an ordinary man.
Yan Jinyue had no idea how skilled he was in martial arts.
But she knew that true masters did not show their skills outwardly, especially well-trained bodyguards. Bodyguards were different from assassins. When assassins appeared with their faces covered, their eyes either looked murderous or blank and lifeless.
Top-tier bodyguards, however, can appear completely undetectable as to pose any danger. Their presence in public will not arouse any suspicion or vigilance from anyone.
Yan Jinyue wasn't sure if Ling Yumo was a top-tier bodyguard, but he was indeed quite handsome. His looks were different from her brother's sharp, angular beauty, but he was still good-looking.
Yan Jinyue was quite satisfied with having such a handsome bodyguard by her side.
As the carriage arrived outside the imperial prison, a gloomy and chilling atmosphere could be felt from afar, mixed with the overwhelming stench of blood, making one's heart tremble.
The carriage slowed down.
Yan Jinyue held her waist token and leaned out of the window, but the guards at the imperial prison did not recognize the token.
"Sixth Princess, please wait. The Imperial Prison is a forbidden area of the Zhenfu Division. Without His Highness Prince Ming's order, you may not enter."
Yan Jinyue rolled up the car window and looked at him hesitantly: "Um... is Second Brother here? If he is, please go in and tell him that I want to see Pei Yi'an."
The guard replied, "Reporting to the Sixth Princess, His Highness Prince Ming has not yet arrived."
Yan Jinyue was surprised. They haven't arrived yet?
She looked up at the sky. It was already this late. Wasn't her second brother in a hurry to interrogate her?
Yan Jinyue thought for a moment, then lowered the curtain and instructed, "Let's go to the Ming Prince's residence."
Since it was still early and she had nothing to do in the palace, if her second brother didn't come to the prison in the morning, she would go to the Prince of Yan's residence for lunch.
"yes."
The carriage arrived at the Ming Prince's Mansion. Yan Jinyue asked the gatekeeper to announce her arrival, and only after receiving a reply did a nanny come to lead Yan Jinyue inside.
Yan Jinyue thought that her second brother might be too busy with official duties to go to the imperial prison for the time being. Her purpose in coming to the Ming Prince's Mansion was not out of curiosity. She was just unsure when her second brother would go and didn't want to wait there idly.
If she wanted to enter the imperial prison, she could only do so with her second brother, otherwise she would be stopped outside.
But when she arrived at the East Courtyard of the Ming Prince's Mansion, she saw an extremely strange scene.
The second prince, who was as terrifying as Yama, was standing in the courtyard, being held by the clothes of a woman who wouldn't let go.
Yan Jinyue was more surprised than anything else. She first looked at the girl, who was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a pale complexion and an exceptionally slender figure, as if she could be blown away by the wind. She was wearing a peach-pink waist-cinching long dress, which made her small waist look even more delicate.
Yan Jinyue even looked down at her own waist to confirm that the woman's waist was indeed very slender—of course, she had no intention of comparing her waist to the other woman's.
Yan Jinyue simply felt that the other person was too thin.
However, this idea was short-lived.
The main point now is whether she's thin or not, and whether her waist is slim or not, right?
Yan Jinyue raised her head and stared at the woman's hands, which were tightly gripping her second brother's clothes.
The main point is that she's incredibly bold. She even dared to grab the clothes of the King of Hell. Isn't she afraid that the King of Hell will cut off her hands with his sword? Or throw her into prison as if she were plotting something?
"Let go." Yan Yang stared at Xue Ziying, his brows furrowing slightly. "I have matters to attend to and cannot spend time with you today."
Xue Ziying looked at her without saying a word.
The old women and maids standing by were pale-faced, their heads bowed, not daring to breathe.
Yan Jinyue stepped forward, breaking the awkward silence: "Second Imperial Brother."
"Jin Yue?" Yan Yang turned his head and saw Yan Jin Yue. "What brings you here?"
Yan Jinyue said, "I have something to discuss with my second brother—"
“You’ve come at the right time.” Yan Yang reached out and grabbed Xue Ziying’s hand, forcefully pulling it off his robe. “She’s too bored in the manor. Accompany her for a stroll in the garden and have a chat.”
Yan Jinyue: "..."
She, a princess, came here to chat and stroll in the garden with a strange woman?
What kind of joke is this, Second Prince?
Yan Jinyue couldn't help but scrutinize the woman again.
Upon closer inspection, she discovered that the girl was quite beautiful, with a small face the size of a palm, and dark, clear eyes beneath her curved eyebrows, exuding a timid air, making her look like a little rabbit.
Her nose was pert and upturned, and her cherry-like lips were slightly pursed, giving her a pitiful and delicate air, but her expression clearly showed stubbornness.
Yan Jinyue felt a strong sense of curiosity.
She asked, "Second brother, who is this woman?"
"Xue Ziying".
Yan Jinyue frowned and thought for a moment, then asked in surprise, "The one you rescued from Prime Minister Wen?"
"Hmm." Yan Yang turned to look at her. "Could you stay here with her for half a day?"
Yan Jinyue quickly waved her hand: "I need to go to the Imperial Prison."
Yan Yang raised an eyebrow: "What are you doing in the imperial prison? Are you still hung up on Pei Yi'an and worried I'll torture him?"
"Of course not." Yan Jinyue sneered. "Pei Yi'an is a traitor who has colluded with the enemy and dares to lie to me. I would rather my second brother torture him to the point of death than worry about him."
Yan Yang frowned: "How do you know he's a traitor?"
“My fourth brother told me last night.” Yan Jinyue was about to explain, but then realized that it was too complicated to explain in a few words. “Anyway, when my fourth brother went to see Father, he saw Pei Yi’an also going to meet the Emperor. Pei Yi’an said that the woman he brought back was not carrying his child. He didn’t tell the truth. My second brother can whip him a few more times later to vent my anger.”
When Yan Yang heard her mention the woman Pei Yi'an brought back, his brows twitched slightly, and he seemed to have thought of something. He turned to look at Xue Ziying and said, "You can come with me if you want, but there's a condition."
Yan Jinyue was surprised and couldn't help but look Xue Ziying up and down again.
Following the Second Prince?
She kept clinging to his clothes, apparently wanting to follow him.
Xue Ziying didn't say anything, she just looked at him.
Yan Yang said, "I'll have someone go to the Pei family and bring Tang Beixuan over later. You stay in the shadows, get a good look at that woman's face, and then tell me who she is."
Xue Ziying nodded.
Yan Jinyue asked, "Why stay in the shadows?"
Ignoring her words, Yan Yang turned and ordered, "Someone come here!"
Four guards stepped forward.
Yan Yang ordered, "Go to the Pei family and bring Tang Beixuan here."
"yes."
Yan Yang gave the order, took Xue Ziying's hand, and turned to go back to his room.
Yan Jinyue followed behind, watching Yan Yang and Xue Ziying's interaction without making a sound. She was secretly amazed that there was actually a woman in the world who was not afraid of the Second Prince.
The second prince is so old and still unmarried. Does the appearance of this woman mean that his good fortune is coming soon?
No, that's not right.
Yan Jinyue immediately frowned.
Xue Ziying was rescued from the Wen family. She used to be Wen Heyun's person, and her innocence should have been ruined by Wen Heyun.
Although she was a victim, but...
