This is absolutely outrageous!
The other princes and princesses at least pretended to be magnanimous.
With a livid face, Leng Qinghan suppressed her anger and said to Xiao Ning, "Sixth Sister, please calm down. The maid was indeed clumsy and deserved to be punished. Sixth Sister, please don't be angry. Go and change your clothes."
Xiao Ning smiled faintly: "Okay."
Are you rushing to throw your life away? Perfect timing, I haven't had enough fun yet.
As Xiao Ning left her seat, Leng Qinghan gave the maid a wink.
The maid immediately followed and led Xiao Ning to the backyard and into a bedroom.
As soon as Xiao Ning stepped through the door, she smelled the alluring fragrance burning in the bedroom.
After entering the room, Xiao Ning stared at the maid's back, his eyes sharpened, and he dispatched the maid in one move. He then sat on the bed and "awaited the beauty."
Soon, Leng Qinghan's concubine entered the room.
He had seen Leng Qingning at Hongfu Temple before, and he thought that Leng Qingning was not only beautiful but also of higher status. If he could get close to her, that would be wonderful.
Besides, Leng Qingning had spoken to him last time, so he felt quite good about himself.
...In reality, he only said, "You may dispense with formalities, my lord."
He walked confidently toward Xiao Ning, his eyes brimming with seductive charm.
A moment later, the incense burned out, and Xiao Ning stepped out of the room and swaggered out.
Leng Qinghan led her people towards the backyard, and unexpectedly, Xiao Ning was sitting alone in a lakeside pavilion a few hundred meters away from the backyard.
"Sixth Sister, didn't you go change your clothes?" Leng Qinghan's face was ashen.
"I have been here the whole time and have not moved an inch."
How could that be?
Upon hearing this, Leng Qinghan abandoned her guests and ran into the backyard.
"Find it! Find it for me!" Leng Qinghan roared in fury.
She searched all the guest rooms but couldn't find her husband. The servants searched the entire backyard but couldn't find him either. Even the maid who had guided her was nowhere to be found.
The two of them vanished as if they had evaporated into thin air.
Unbeknownst to her, her concubine and maid had long been reduced to dust by Xiao Ning's magic, their fragments scattered into the wind.
I'll never find it again in this lifetime.
The disappearance of the concubine caused panic in the Fourth Princess's residence. Leng Qinghan belatedly realized that this matter must be related to Xiao Ning.
Leng Qinghan recalled carefully that at the birthday banquet, "Leng Qingning" seemed like a completely different person; her expressions, tone of voice, and behavior all made Leng Qinghan feel very unfamiliar with her.
In particular, Xiao Ning's teasing gaze was as if he were toying with a lowly ant.
Thinking of Xiao Ning's powerful and terrifying internal strength, Leng Qinghan felt a chill run down her spine, feeling confused but even more so deeply afraid.
What frightened her even more was that the words on her face could not be removed no matter what she did, so she had to hide in the mansion all day and dared not go anywhere.
Biluo thought that Leng Qinghan would suffer a great loss and go to complain to the Empress, or cause some trouble. However, more than ten days have passed, and the Fourth Princess's residence is unusually quiet without any unusual activity.
Xiao Ning practiced her skills in the Rose Garden every day, determined to purify her soul and break through to the next level of spiritual cultivation.
Half a month passed, and he found that the progress of the magic was very slow, which made him anxious.
Leng Qingning's half of her soul cannot last long in this other world; the longer it drags on, the more dangerous it becomes. She must have her soul replaced as soon as possible.
The sooner you recover your strength, the sooner you can activate the teleportation technique.
Xiao Ning fell into deep thought, recalling events from two thousand years ago, feeling remorse, guilt, and pain…
"Sister, I'm so sorry."
"This time, your sister will protect you and will never let the tragedy repeat itself."
"Your Highness, what is it?" Biluo opened the door and came in when she heard the voice, thinking that Xiaoning was calling her.
Xiao Ning quickly composed herself. "Tomorrow, I will be going to the palace to meet the Emperor. In the afternoon, I will summon my husbands in the household. I have something to say to them."
"Your Highness, what happened?" Seeing Xiao Ning's serious expression, Biluo guessed that something bad had happened.
Xiao Ning coldly rebuked, "You're just a maid, you should only do your job. How dare you pry into your master's affairs?"
It's outrageous that my sister's maid is so presumptuous!
It seems that my older sister has been too lenient with them.
Biluo felt a chill run down her spine and immediately knelt down. "Your Highness, I dare not do it again." She dared not inquire about Xiao Ning's affairs any longer.
"Tomorrow, you will accompany me to Kongmen Mountain. The other guards will remain in the manor to protect Langya Manor."
"Yes, Your Highness."
The next day, Xiao Ning went to the palace to meet the Empress and told her that she was going to Kongmen Mountain to cultivate with the help of the immortal sect's spiritual energy so that she could quickly recover her power and exchange souls with Leng Qingning.
The Empress readily agreed, hoping that Leng Qingning would return soon.
As for the civil and military officials, the Empress made up an excuse, saying that the young king should go to Kongmen Mountain to study for half a year, improve his magical skills, and one day he would wear armor and lead the army for Dayue to make great achievements.
The ministers agreed. Kongmen Mountain was the foremost immortal sect in Dayue, and it was a good thing for His Highness to go there to cultivate. There was no reason to object. As long as His Highness did not leave the borders of Dayue, they would be at ease.
Xiao Ning returned to Langya Manor and gave everyone a stern talking-to.
"Remember, I have no tolerance for injustice. If any of you dare to cause trouble after I leave, I will not let you off easily."
Seeing the fear on her husbands' faces, Xiao Ning got up with satisfaction and instructed Fu Guang, Bai Yu and the others to protect Leng Qingning's husbands. If even a single hair was missing, Fu Guang and the others would be beheaded.
Fu Guang, Bai Yu, and the others suddenly felt a chill on their necks and their bodies stiffened.
He answered repeatedly with trepidation, and finally saw off Xiao Ning, this great Buddha.
After Xiao Ning, Bi Luo, Kong Xuanzi and the other two left the mansion, the husbands, who should have been reluctant to leave the city to see them off, stopped and stood there. They felt that the atmosphere in the mansion had suddenly become much more relaxed, and their tense nerves were relieved.
Why do I feel this way?
The husbands looked at each other, and each saw a sense of relief in the eyes of the others.
Gu Nanshu broke the deadlock, "Your Highness has temporarily left the manor. Gentlemen, please don't be too sad. Go back to your courtyards and get some rest."
That's what they said, but Gu Nanshu, like the other husbands, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The husbands each returned to their respective courtyards.
Inside Hehuan Pavilion, Lu Shiyi paced back and forth, increasingly feeling that something was amiss. Xiao Ning and Leng Qingning were indeed worlds apart.
“No, no…” Lu Shiyi murmured as he walked.
"Master, what's wrong?" Xiao An asked, puzzled by Lu Shiyi's serious expression.
"Don't you think Her Highness has been acting very strangely lately? She's completely different from before."
Xiao An felt that Lu Shiyi was being far too suspicious. "Master, the gentlemen have all said that His Highness is suffering from heartbreak, so please don't worry."
Lu Shiyi shook his head: "No matter how much a person changes, they can't completely change their nature. Do you remember when I first entered the manor, even though Your Highness didn't like me, she was willing to promise to protect me for life after I entered the manor? Your Highness is not a heartless person at heart."
After these few encounters, Lu Shiyi noticed that Xiao Ning's speech, behavior and style were completely different from before, and she was even extremely indifferent to Biluo and the others.
Especially Xiao Ning's eyes, even when facing his husbands, would occasionally reveal murderous intent, which was not the look His Highness should have.
That look in his eyes was more like that of a cold-blooded killer or assassin.
Lu Shiyi pondered deeply, wondering what exactly was wrong.
The lord and the prince left the manor one after the other. Is there any connection between these events?
