Xie Yushu wanted to help, but he didn't know martial arts and couldn't do anything to help. Instead, Ye Zhisang stopped him.
"what you do?"
"Don't do it?"
"What?"
"You need to leave them a way out."
Before Xie Yushu could understand what was happening, the maids who had been cleaning in the courtyard suddenly stepped forward with firm expressions and blocked Xie Lingqin and Chequ's path.
"You, you all..."
"We are born to be Miss and will die to be Miss, so we should protect her."
The dozen or so maids and nannies in the courtyard were all standing in their stances, and they all seemed to know a little bit of martial arts, but they didn't have any internal strength.
Xie Lingqin always knew that when she was reorganizing the maids in her courtyard, Chequ had a purpose in taking on the task. She also knew that later, the maids in the courtyard truly made her worry-free and did their best, which made her extremely happy.
However, I never expected that they would be so loyal.
“They all received help from me.” Tridacna helped Xie Lingqin up, her voice softening slightly. “Miss, let’s go.”
"If General Xie doesn't die, they won't survive either."
Xie Lingqin said, and then she slowly climbed up the door frame, took out the small crossbow from her sleeve, and aimed it at General Xie.
"Xie Lingqin, this is patricide."
“I did not kill my father. Even now, don’t you know that? Or perhaps, General Xie, you’ve known all along, but you just haven’t wanted to admit it.”
Upon hearing this, General Xie frowned and asked, "What?"
"As the saying goes, a dying man's words are good. Well, I'm already dead, so let me tell you, I'm not your daughter. Ha, not only that, you haven't realized that Xie Danling is no longer in the capital, have you?"
"It's you! Where did you put him? Are you trying to threaten me with him?"
"I'm threatening you because I want to tell you that Xie Danling is not your child either. You helped the evildoers back then and broke up a loving couple. Now, this is your retribution."
"Nonsense, how could Xie Danling not be my son?"
"Think about it carefully, is he really her? My mother doesn't love you. Did you ever have her?"
"you……"
General Xie's face turned ashen, as if a sore spot had been touched. "Impossible! I drugged her that night, that night..."
General Xie seemed to realize something, his pupils suddenly contracting, "Illusion, illusion..." General Xie stared at Xie Lingqin, his eyes blazing, "How could you know?"
"You'd better ask the Emperor. He knows the truth, but he won't tell you. Tell me, this Emperor is really heartless."
"Are you trying to sow discord?"
"Whether what I said is right or wrong, General Xie, don't you have a scale in your heart?"
"Xie Lingqin, I'm going to kill you."
General Xie was indeed struck down, completely devastated. However, impulsiveness is the devil. In his impulsiveness, General Xie forgot that Xie Lingqin had just stabbed him in the chest. He exerted too much force and fell to the ground.
"General."
"Therefore, the best course of action now is for you to treat Ning Yi even better, after all, he is now truly your only heir."
As soon as Xie Lingqin finished speaking, she flicked her fingers and fired a crossbow bolt. Instantly, a shower of small arrows rained down on the guards.
Chaos erupted in the courtyard as all the maids and nannies joined forces to fight the guards.
Xie Lingqin wanted to stop her, but she suddenly succumbed to the poison and, coupled with her serious injuries, had no strength left. Beside her, Tridacna's face grew increasingly pale, yet she held onto Xie Lingqin tightly, saying, "Miss, let's go."
As Xie Lingqin jumped out of the window with the small box in her arms, she saw a nanny lying in a pool of blood, saw Xie Yushu's helpless expression as he tried to stop her, and saw Ye Zhisang looking at her with the same helpless and pale expression.
Just now, Ye Zhisang had already noticed that she was in the room. She tried her best to hide it, but in the end, General Xie was not stupid.
However, the truth she revealed today will certainly not make General Xie feel good.
The wind whistled past her ears as guards caught up. Ye Zhisang also seemed intent on capturing Xie Lingqin, and then, quite innocently, she led the pursuers astray.
In a quiet alley, Tridacna helped Xie Lingqin out. "Miss, you should go find Young Master Xu."
"They're outside the city. It's dangerous to leave now. Besides, I think the Emperor will soon find out I'm not dead. Then, martial law will be declared, and we won't be able to escape... cough cough..."
"Miss, it's so good that you're alright."
Tridacna hugged Xie Lingqin tightly, saying, "I'm so glad you didn't die."
"Yes, how can I die with my great revenge unfulfilled? It's this box..." Xie Lingqin stared at the box beside her, her eyes deep and empty. "Even if Zongzheng Xu wasn't my mother, she must have paid a heavy price for what happened back then. Therefore, I cannot abandon her remains under any circumstances. If I had arrived a moment later today, the consequences would have been..."
Xie Lingqin looked at the giant clam and said, "Thank you. I thought you were dead."
"The Crown Prince's men didn't handle things well. They thought I was dead, but I was still alive. That's because I know martial arts, and I even know a bit of the Returning Breath Technique. I learned that from Commander Ming back then."
"Now, I wonder how Minglan and the others are doing, and what about Tianxing and the others..."
“Miss, let’s ensure our safety first. Otherwise, let’s go find Bai Yu first. The most dangerous place is the safest place. I don’t think anyone will suspect anything there.”
"No." Xie Lingqin raised her hand to stop them, wincing in pain. "We can't cause them even the slightest trouble. When I killed Yan She, I secretly told Bai Yu that we must not let Tianxia Yiwei get involved with me. Not to mention, right now, there are countless eyes watching them in the dark."
