Prince Xian?
The wise prince who broke off the engagement five days ago, bluntly saying she was not good enough for him and making her the laughing stock of the entire Beirong, is actually coming soon.
Yuwen Xian.
It really was him.
He and Xie Lingyu were involved in kidnapping and abusing her.
Oh!
Make a note of this; we need to get started right now.
Xie Lingqin easily climbed into the house.
Their eyes met, and Xie Lingyu, of course, did not know that the person in front of her was Xie Lingqin.
Because Xie Lingqin's face was covered.
Beneath the black cloth, a cold smile played on her lips, her eyes gleaming with a chilling light; she was determined to make Xie Lingyu wish she were dead.
so……
A mournful cry pierced the night sky, startling the leaves and causing birds to flee in terror.
The sound was so tragic and terrifying that it immediately drew countless hurried footsteps toward this place.
While everyone rushed into the house upon hearing the noise, Xie Lingqin bit her tongue hard, slapped Xie Lingyu across the face, and then used all her strength to leap out of the window and escape.
Despite being weak and covered in injuries, she managed to slip out of the courtyard without anyone noticing, thanks to her strong will and sharp mind.
However, Xie Lingqin searched the surrounding area but could not find Tinglan.
Just now, she observed that the old woman hadn't sent anyone out to search, and she had also told Tinglan to wait for her some distance away, so...
However, Xie Lingqin, a cold-blooded and ruthless assassin who always went her own way, overlooked the loyalty of her little maid.
Just now, she was stunned by her unprecedented courage. After waking up, the little maid naturally had her young mistress on her mind.
However, she contacted the wrong person.
Therefore, when Xie Lingqin, hidden in the shadows, saw dozens of guards escorting a large carriage towards the mansion she had just escaped from on the quiet path ahead, and saw Tinglan following beside the carriage with a mixture of nervousness, relief, and worry, Xie Lingqin's breath tightened involuntarily.
Especially when she saw the handsome and refined Prince Xian get off the carriage with the curtain lifted, seemingly smiling at Tinglan but with a flash of murderous intent in his eyes, Xie Lingqin's heart grew even colder.
Suddenly, it felt like a cold wind was howling around me.
The Wise King has too many experts by his side. Even in her previous physical condition, she might not have had a chance of winning, let alone now, with her body covered in injuries and on the verge of collapse.
Tinglan, meanwhile, was about to step into the courtyard with the Prince Xian.
"Your Highness, you've finally arrived! Miss, Miss is injured..." At this moment, inside the mansion, Xie Lingyu's maid knelt before the Prince Xian as if she had seen hope. "Your Highness, please save my Miss!"
"What's wrong with Yu'er?" As soon as he finished speaking, the Prince ignored Tinglan and quickly strode into the depths of the mansion.
Tinglan stood there, frozen like a wooden statue.
The second young lady is injured? What about the young lady?
As Tinglan turned to leave, a sword was already pressed against her neck.
"You are not allowed to leave without the Prince's orders." The guard's cold voice was clearly audible to Xie Lingqin, even from this distance.
Taking a deep breath, Xie Lingqin turned around and left.
She was just a maidservant, and she only borrowed the original owner's body. She had already helped her get revenge by disfiguring Xie Lingyu's face.
That's all she can do right now.
Revenge doesn't have to involve killing; making someone's life worse than death is enough. For Xie Lingyu, seeing her disfigured face was already the worst nightmare.
She's not kind-hearted; there's no need for her to get herself imprisoned for the sake of an unrelated maid.
"Tell me, where is Xie Lingqin?" After taking only two steps, a cold shout was heard from behind, carried by the wind. It was the Prince Xian. At the same time, the courtyard gate closed, and Tinglan was dragged inside.
Taking a deep breath, Xie Lingqin looked up at the faintly visible moon in the sky and the chilling light surrounding her, then strode away.
The wind rustled, whipping up her clothes and sending them fluttering wildly.
"Heh, I never expected that the elegant and refined Prince Xian would actually fall for the Second Miss of the General's Mansion this time. This is the first time I've ever seen him so nervous and angry." In the shadows, a young man dressed in a blue brocade robe was pursing his lips slightly, speaking casually. After speaking, he narrowed his eyes and looked to the side, "Hey, I said, can't you say something, you taciturn fellow?"
The person stood in the slanting shadows of the moonlight, indistinct and unresponsive. He did not answer him, but instead gazed into the distance with a pair of deep, dark eyes, seemingly lost in thought.
The man seemed unconcerned, as if it were commonplace. He shrugged and looked at the spot where Xie Lingqin had disappeared. "But I really didn't expect that the young lady of the General's Mansion would be such a ruthless character. To survive, she doesn't even care about her maids anymore. Sigh, the world is going to the dogs."
The air was silent.
"Lightness, nothing is absolute." After a long time, just as the man gave up talking to the person next to him, he heard the taciturn man beside him speak again.
The voice was like snow in the frosty winter, yet it carried a hint of unpredictable wickedness amidst the icy chill.
Looking in the direction the man was looking, the man called Qingyi suddenly paused, his deep eyes wide with surprise.
Because he actually saw the Prefect of Jingzhao, covered in dust and frost, riding a horse and leading nearly a hundred elite cavalrymen to surround him.
"this……"
It seems that, due to the assassination attempt at the Crown Prince's residence in the capital a few days ago, the Prefect of the Capital is conducting a search both inside and outside the city.
"Quickly, make sure the Prince Xian is not injured." Immediately afterward, the Prefect of the Capital gave a solemn order, and then ordered his men to scatter and surround the mansion in no time.
Then, the man called Qingyi paused, his eyes narrowing as he looked at the extremely thin and pale-faced man next to the Prefect of the Capital.
