Wen Nongnong was troubled, but upon hearing this, she said, "Since Your Highness's eyes have healed, let him go."
Although she despised Shen Qingning's character, Gu Linchao had promised Lingyin Daoist that he would release her once his eyes recovered, so they could not go back on their word and give others cause for gossip.
"Yes," Wang Houde replied, and was about to leave when Wen Nongnong called him back.
"Eunuch Wang, please pass on a message to them: this time, because of the antidote given by Master Lingyin, Your Highness and I will let it go. But if there is a next time, we will not let them off lightly. They should think twice before they do it."
Wang Houde nodded, "This servant will go now."
After seeing him leave, Wen Nongnong realized that she hadn't been to the Wen residence for many days, so she decided to go and see Lu Yingying and her nephew.
As we approached the gate of the mansion, we suddenly heard a commotion outside.
Lü Qiao immediately went over to check, and when she returned, her expression was rather unpleasant.
"What's wrong?" Wen Nongnong asked.
Green Fairy said with an ugly expression, "Isn't it that woman surnamed Chen? She refused to leave and kept making a fuss about wanting to see the Prince. I've never seen such a shameless woman."
Wen Nong Nong chuckled. This Shen Qing Ning really had lowered the bar. Even now, she was still not giving up and still wanted to see Gu Lin Chao.
She scoffed and strolled toward the door.
Fearing that she might be offended, Ding's mother quickly advised, "There's no need for Miss to intervene with such a lowly woman. Just have someone drive her away."
"It's alright, we're going out anyway, so there's no harm in going to take a look. Just think of it as watching a show," Wen Nongnong said with a smile, without stopping.
Seeing that she couldn't stop her, Ding's mother had no choice but to give up, but she followed closely behind.
Upon arriving at the gate, they indeed saw Shen Qingning arguing with the guards.
"We are the saviors of King Xiang, you cannot treat us like this. Please let us in, we want to see King Xiang in person."
"The Prince's mansion is not a place for you to run wild. Get out of here!" The guard had never seen such an ungrateful person before, and he was so angry that he was about to draw his sword.
Master Lingyin felt utterly humiliated and stepped forward to grab Shen Qingning's arm. "That's enough, Qingning, let's go."
"Master, you cured the Prince of Xiang's eyes and are his savior. How can you just leave like this?" Shen Qingning cried out hoarsely.
Although she was not mistreated after being detained for many days, her mental state was not good. Coupled with being entangled here for so long, she was on the verge of a mental breakdown.
"Qingning, wake up! They don't want to see you at all, why debase yourself?" Master Lingyin's face was very ugly.
“How could the Prince of Xiang not see me? It must be Wen Nong Nong who is interfering.” Shen Qing Ning’s eyes were bloodshot as she murmured. Suddenly, she saw Wen Nong Nong appear by the door. Her pupils contracted, and she suddenly pushed past the guards who were blocking her way and rushed towards her.
“Wen Nongnong, you are narrow-minded. It must be because of you that Gu Linchao refuses to see me.”
The guards were caught off guard by her sudden collision, and she rushed past them. By the time they realized what was happening, it was too late.
Thinking that the princess is now pregnant, if she were to be offended and something were to happen, he would not have enough heads to lose.
Thinking about it, his eyes widened in fury, and he rushed over, trying to pull the person back.
But before he could make a move, Shen Qingning was suddenly sent flying out like a rag doll.
Then, he saw his princess slowly lower her legs.
He stood there, stunned.
Until a loud "bang" was heard as the heavy object fell to the ground.
He turned his head and saw Shen Qingning, who had just pounced on Wen Nongnong, now lying on the ground outside the door like a toad.
Silence fell in front of the mansion gate as everyone stared blankly at Shen Qingning lying on the ground, until Wen Nongnong's calm voice rang out.
"Shen Qingning, you think too highly of yourself. Let me tell you, even without me, Gu Linchao wouldn't even look at you. Don't you know what kind of person you are? Do you think you're some kind of hot commodity that everyone has to fawn over?"
In this world, perhaps only your master truly values you; to others, you're nothing but a pile of shit!
Perhaps it was her analogy that was so devastating, but Shen Qingning, who was lying on the ground, suddenly burst into tears, "Wen Nongnong, don't push your luck..."
"Miss, are you alright?" At this moment, Ding's mother, who had come to her senses, nervously grabbed Wen Nong Nong's hand and checked her over from head to toe.
Lü Qiao and Bai Li also stood next to Wen Nong Nong, anxiously asking, "Does Miss (Princess)'s leg hurt?"
Shen Qingning: "..."
Hearing the tense voices of those people, she felt a metallic taste in her throat, and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
Master Lingyin snapped out of his daze and hurriedly helped her up. "Qingning, how are you?"
"Master—" Shen Qingning wailed, "They...they've gone too far!"
Master Lingyin's face was extremely ugly. He couldn't stay any longer. "Stop humiliating yourself. Come with me now."
"I won't leave! I don't want to leave! I want to see Gu Linchao!" Shen Qingning screamed hysterically.
Upon hearing this, Master Lingyin could no longer contain himself and slapped her across the face. "Wake up! Stop embarrassing yourself. If they were willing to see you, why would they have waited until today?"
Shen Qingning turned her head to the side after being hit, and it took her a long time to react. She covered her stinging face and looked at him in disbelief, "Master, you...you hit me..."
Lingyin lowered her trembling hand and said ruthlessly, "If you continue to be so stubborn, then don't acknowledge me anymore."
Shen Qingning trembled with anger, "You are my master, why won't you help me?"
Master Lingyin seemed to have aged considerably in an instant.
He looked at her with a hint of dejection. "If I hadn't helped you, you'd still be stuck in someone's dungeon. Why can't you wake up?" As he spoke, he grabbed her arm. "Come on, I'll take you away from here."
"I don't want to—" Shen Qingning struggled incessantly.
Just then, an arrow suddenly shot through the air.
With a "thud," it struck her right in the back.
It happened so suddenly that Master Lingyin was completely unprepared.
By the time he noticed, Shen Qingning had already collapsed limply to the ground.
"Qingning—" he roared and reached out to hug her.
At the same time, a group of men in black, appearing from nowhere, swarmed towards the two of them.
"There's one more! Kill him quickly so we can collect the bounty!" someone shouted.
Master Lingyin immediately understood who these people were.
He was careless; he had completely forgotten that someone wanted to kill him and his daughter.
He quickly picked up Shen Qingning and used his lightness skill to leave.
Seeing this, the others also used their lightness skills to give chase.
The dramatic scene before them left everyone in the Prince's Palace dumbfounded.
Only when the area in front of the mansion gate quieted down did everyone come to their senses.
"Then Shen Qingning probably won't survive, right?" At this moment, Lü Qiao spoke up first, breaking the silence.
