Chapter 539 Stubborn

Screams of terror immediately filled the entire Lingxi Palace.

Pan Jingwan curled up on the ground, using the strength of her arms to back away: "Ghost! There is a ghost!!"

Someone in the hall sneered, and the mockery was particularly strong.

"Master Qi," Kan Nianzhen raised his hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his lips without much concern. His cold voice pierced through the screams in the hall and rang out clearly, "Did you see it clearly?"

Pan Jingwan paused in her crazy scream and raised her head suddenly: "...Master Qi?"

"Which Lord Qi?!" Her pupils trembled slightly, and there was a buzzing sound in her ears, "Which Lord Qi are you talking about?!"

The backward movement stopped instantly, and Pan Jingwan even took a few more steps on her knees towards Kan Nianzhen.

The only way to effectively stop the fear is to find something else that makes her more afraid -

If the surname Qi was mentioned in the imperial court, it would not cause such a big reaction from her, but if it was mentioned in the imperial guards...

His panicked eyes darted around, scanning the faces of the "Lord Xin's Army" in front of him one by one, and finally landed on one of them who looked particularly calm: "You?!!"

Qi Zhen held the jade pendant he had just received from Rou Shuyi in his hand, and lowered his eyelids to look at Rou Shuyi, who was prostrating herself on the ground without caring about her royal image. "To answer your Majesty, I have seen it clearly."

Kan Nianzhen raised the corner of his lips silently and looked at Pan Jingwan with sarcasm: "Haven't you already guessed it?"

Pan Jingwan raised her head as if struck by lightning: "Qi...Zhen?"

Among the imperial guards, there was a man who was notoriously stubborn.

Because he was framed by his enemies in his early years, his entire family was almost wrongly exiled. It was only when Emperor Mingze accidentally discovered the suspicion and personally investigated the case that the Qi family was cleared of all charges.

Since then, Qi Zhen has become the most loyal supporter of Emperor Mingze. No party can persuade him to join them, and he is only loyal to Emperor Mingze.

——With his testimony, many ministers in the court would believe that she, Pan Jingwan, was also involved in this incident.

"You lied to me?!" Pan Jingwan's eyes were red as she glared at Kan Nianzhen and his group in anger, "You guys lied to me together?!"

She couldn't stop shaking all over, but she still struggled to stand up, and walked forward step by step, with a crazy look on her face: "Yes, I got on Prince Xin's ship, so what?!"

"His Majesty has gone missing. He has gone missing in Beiming! You don't really think that your prince, who hasn't even come of age yet, can resist the joint attack of Prince Xin and Prince Jing when all the troops are sent to Beiming, do you?!"

The more Pan Jingwan spoke, the straighter her back became. Her frightened expression gradually faded, leaving only the ruthlessness of being forced into a desperate situation: "I just surrendered to Prince Xin, so what?!"

"As long as Prince Xin succeeds this time, my Pan family will be the last one to succeed. By then, all of you will become prisoners and die! You will all—"

"Auntie!"

A familiar, clear, childish voice that had almost become her nightmare came from behind her, abruptly interrupting the curse she had not yet finished.

Pan Jingwan turned around suddenly and watched the small figure emerge from the corner, pass her and run straight towards Kan Nianzhen and his group.

The little devil seemed a little nervous. He struggled with his short legs, but he still stumbled and couldn't run fast. There was a hint of crying in his voice: "Auntie, auntie, are you okay?!"

Pan Jingwan's gaze followed Jiang Yingcheng's figure until it turned to Kan Nianzhen, and she saw that the other party's cold expression disappeared in an instant. She squatted down naturally, and before stretching out her hands towards the little devil, she wiped the blood stain from the corner of her lips with her sleeve, as if she was afraid that the other party would worry.

For no apparent reason, her heartbeat, which had just calmed down a little, started beating even faster because of the appearance of this little devil.

A huge panic instantly took over her mind. Pan Jingwan took several steps back as if she couldn't stand still, until she bumped into the table behind her and felt a sharp pain in her waist.

Her mind was in a state of confusion, and Pan Jingwan had no idea where this panic came from. She could only stare blankly at the opposite side, unable to react.

Jiang Yingcheng ran to her aunt the Queen, and looked her up and down nervously. After looking at this one, she looked at Aunt Yu Shi and the others behind her. She didn't dare to really let her aunt the Queen hug her.

She had already known what happened here from the live broadcast given by 007, but even though she knew that the bloodstains were chicken blood prepared in advance by the aunts, she still didn't dare to touch it.

Even if the long knives in the hands of those uncles were not sharpened, it would definitely hurt if they scratched the aunts' bodies.

Kan Nianzhen paused, and a beautiful smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his lips.

She reached out and held the little guy in her arms, and asked softly, "Why did you run away?"

The problem here has not been completely resolved. They didn't want to expose the little guy to Pan Jingwan.

Jiang Yingcheng stood on tiptoe, placed her little head on the shoulder of her aunt the Empress, and rubbed it gently twice. After confirming that the other party really did not feel any pain, she happily remembered the serious matters.

She turned slightly to the side, pointed at Pan Jingwan across from her, and complained in a baby voice: "Uncle Yu, Uncle Yu just said that his men saw Brother Huai'an being secretly taken out of the capital a while ago—"

Pan Jingwan was stunned, and her heartbeat stopped for a moment because of the young man's words.

Everyone in the hall was stunned on the spot, their expressions more solemn than ever before.

Speaking of which...

Everything that happened recently was so urgent that they hadn't seen Jiang Huai'an for a long time.

"The uncles from the Moyu Sect are worried that Brother Huai'an has run into bad guys, so they've already caught up with him!"

In the deathly silence, Jiang Yingcheng pursed his lips and laughed out loud, seemingly very innocently: "I believe that Brother Huai'an will be able to return to the palace soon and reunite with us!!"

The sinister gaze instantly fell on Yu Xingmian. He stood there with an upright figure, not even paying attention to Pan Jingwan who was glaring at him.

Of course he didn't know about such a small matter, but he couldn't help but have a human-shaped trumpet beside him. The trumpet would glance at him from time to time, trying to use his mouth to tell the matter.

Suddenly, a shrill scream rang in everyone's ears, sounding even sharper than the previous one.

“What a jerk!!”

"What have you done to my peace?! What have you done to my peace?!!"

Pan Jingwan was like a madman who had lost her mind. She stretched out her hands and walked towards Yu Xingmian with hatred, as if she wanted to tear him into countless pieces to relieve the hatred in her heart!

Her Huai'an, the Huai'an she had placed all her hopes for the rest of her life on, even though everyone around her said that the chance of success this time was as high as 90%, she still wanted to send Huai'an out safely, how could he be found by this group of people? !

"bass--"

The sounds of swords being unsheathed rang out one after another, and Pan Jingwan felt dizzy. When she came to her senses, she saw a sharp blade flashing with cold light standing in front of her.

"Honestly! This knife is sharpened!!"
