Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

Looking at Xing Yun, Yu Linglong’s face showed a look of scrutiny for the first time .

At this time, Xing Yun still refused to speak, and Yu Linglong knew that she really wouldn’t tell her .

This was a girl who dared to roast her hand on the fire but still kept her mouth tight about her secrets . What did this show?

Yu Linglong’s eyes gradually became thoughtful . Unexpectedly, she did not speak .

Xing Yun paused, her head gradually drooping, and her voice got lower and lower: “You don’t have to ask anymore, I will never say it anyway . ”

Her voice was unremarkable as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with herself .

Yu Linglong said coldly: “Okay, I won’t ask you . When the prince comes back, I’ll let him interrogate you personally . ”

A sorrowful smile appeared at the corner of Xing Yun’s mouth, and she slowly stood up: “Princess, now that I have exposed my ident.i.ty, do I still dare to expect to live?”

Looking at the sad face, Yu Linglong frowned slightly . Before she could stop her, she saw Xing Yun slam herself forward straight into the pillar!

There was a sound of broken bones in the room, and Xing Yun’s body collapsed softly to the ground . Blood was rus.h.i.+ng from her forehead . It seemed that there was more air going out, but less air coming in .

Xuan Cao and Ling’er screamed in unison, but in a moment they reacted and quickly covered their mouths as if they were afraid they could not control themselves .

A large pool of bright red blood gradually gathered on the ground . Xing Yun twitched a few times and soon became motionless .

Yu Linglong watched the scene in front of her silently, but she had more doubts in her heart .

She didn’t want Xing Yun’s life, but unexpectedly, Xing Yun hit her head and killed herself before her eyes .

If this was a person who was not even afraid of death, what else would she be afraid of?

There was a moment of clarity in her mind, and Yu Linglong couldn’t help but tighten her pink lips .

…

When Lord Xu came back, it was already late in the evening .

In the room, Xing Yun’s corpse had been dragged away, and the ground was cleaned as if nothing had happened . Only the blood in the air suggested everything that had just happened .

Yu Linglong had changed into a lotus-blue embroidered satin robe with gold thread embroidered with lily flowers and a soft bun was loosely tied on her head . She was leaning on the couch, thinking about something .

Xuan Cao changed Lord Xu’s robe, and Lord Xu walked to the side of the couch and said: “Something was delayed outside, and I came back late . Linglong, have you eaten yet?”

Yu Linglong nodded, appearing absent-minded, and Lord Xu couldn’t help worrying: “Why, are you not feeling well?” Then he reached out and touched her forehead .

Yu Linglong pushed away his hand, sat up from the couch, and instructed Xuan Cao and others: “Leave . ”

Everyone in the room withdrew . Yu Linglong stood up, and sprinkled some lily fragrance into the blue and white incense burner, and said faintly: “Xing Yun is dead . ”

Lord Xu seemed to be a little surprised, but in a moment he said nonchalantly: “If you die, you die . What are you worried about?”

Yu Linglong thought for a moment and slowly recounted what happened in the afternoon . Lord Xu’s expression gradually became serious as he listened .

When she said that Xing Yun would rather commit suicide than tell the story behind the scenes, Lord Xu’s face was stern .

Yu Linglong finished talking about what happened . Lord Xu was silent for a while before saying: “Before you and I got married, I rarely stayed in the house . I didn’t even pay attention to these things . ”

Yu Linglong was silent . She guessed what Lord Xu meant . Since he wanted to conceal his ident.i.ty, he naturally refused to stay in the palace easily . You didn’t need to think about it or know that those eyes that were hidden all around would definitely not let him go . In order not to arouse the suspicion of those people, and perhaps to prevent himself from disguising in the residence, Lord Xu would try not to stay in the residence .

But now it was different . He and Yu Linglong have become a family, and his time spent in the palace will be greatly increased . In this way, his chances of revealing his ident.i.ty will increase accordingly .

If he wanted to keep himself safe, he must thoroughly investigate these spies in the mansion . There must be more than one person like Xing Yun .

Yu Linglong raised her eyes to look at Lord Xu, knowing that he had the same thoughts as herself, and said lightly: “Do you know who is the real master of Xing Yun?”

Lord Xu’s face became stern, and his inky eyes gradually deepened, looking directly at Yu Linglong’s eyes .

“Did you guess it?”

A cold smile appeared on her pink lips, and Yu Linglong said softly: “You are the prince . In this world, besides the emperor, who else has a higher status than you?”

Xing Yun did not necessarily have to swear allegiance to the master behind her . Judging from Xing Yun’s dying words, Yu Linglong believed that Xing Yun was not afraid of death, let alone being punished by her master for exposing her ident.i.ty . If she wasn’t trying to hide very important things, then she just wanted to protect people who were important to her .

It was not difficult to guess that there were very few people who can become deadly people . If you want to use someone but can’t completely trust them, then the best way is to get a hold of her, such as by controlling her family .

Xing Yun was dead, and it didn’t make much sense to investigate who she wanted to protect . What Yu Linglong wanted to know was that Xing Yun couldn’t even trust Lord Xu and Princess Xu, so it could only show that the people behind her were very big, even higher up than Lord Xu .

In this way, the scope was reduced a lot .

Lord Xu was the emperor’s most beloved prince . In this world, who had a higher status than him, who else would attack him, who dared to attack him?

Yu Linglong had a vague answer in her mind .

Only that one person…

Only this one answer can explain everything .

Why should he hide his ident.i.ty, why should he avoid eyes and ears, why should he wear a mask…

Yu Linglong gradually realized that she was getting closer and closer to the center of the conspiracy, but the closer she got, the more depressed she felt . It seemed that everyone was in the dark, and everyone was standing still, waiting for an opportunity .

Just like a hurricane, it is more violent on the inside, and the closer you are to the eye in the center, the calmer it is so that no wind can be felt .

The night was getting deeper .

The two people sat on the couch side by side without saying a word, but they all had the same mind .

After a long time, Lord Xu sighed, and naturally gathered the pieces of hair on her temples, and said in a low voice: “I will leave for the spring hunt the next day, so please rest well . ”

The big hand squeezed her hair tenderly, and he said in a deep voice, “Don’t worry, I am here . ”

…

She thought she could rest in peace for a day, but Yu Linglong didn’t expect that something would happen again .

Early the next morning, Yu Linglong had just had breakfast, and she heard a maid’s voice from outside the door: “Dear princess, Zhao Liandeng is looking for you . ”

Yu Linglong raised her eyes and looked out, and Mama Liu on the side said hurriedly: “Princess, this Zhao Liandeng is the wife of Butler Zhao, who is also in the house . ”

Yu Linglong nodded, and Mama Liu raised her voice: “Come in . ”

A woman in her thirties came in and respectfully bowed to Yu Linglong: “I am the maid Zhao Liandeng, who has come to the house to greet the princess . ”

Yu Linglong said lightly: “What’s the matter?”

Zhao Liandeng looked at Yu Linglong’s face secretly, and it seemed a little hard to tell .

Yu Linglong was a little impatient . Ling’er on the side said clearly, “Say it quickly, what are you doing?”

She didn’t expect Ling’er, a little maid, to be so powerful . Zhao Liandeng was taken aback and hurriedly said, “Princess, there…there are some women outside asking to see you . ”

Seeing her stammer, Yu Linglong knew that these women were not up to good things, and her voice couldn’t help but cool down: “Who is it, make it clear . ”

Zhao Liandeng’s head lowered, and she didn’t dare to face Yu Linglong, and she quickly explained the matter .

It turned out that before Yu Linglong married into the mansion, there was a group of women with special status in the Xu Palace . They were given to Lord Xu in various names by outsiders, including singers, dancers, and a few who were good at playing musical instruments such as the Guzheng and Pipa . Lord Xu was not in the house all year round, and all these things were left to the Butler Zhao . Butler Zhao had a low status and did not dare to offend the masters who sent them . He had to accept them and put them all in the North Courtyard .

It was rare for Lord Xu to return to the mansion, and he never paid attention to these women . Although there were a few restless people who wanted to climb the branches and take the initiative to fool around with Lord Xu, they have not been able to succeed . These women had been living in the palace with an awkward ident.i.ty, but they couldn’t do anything .

Since the emperor’s order for Lord Xu to marry Lord Xu, Lord Xu has ordered Butler Zhao to send all these irrelevant women out of the house . This time, they stabbed a hornet’s nest . These women were crying, saying all kinds of things, that they were unwilling to leave the Xu Palace, and they couldn’t go anywhere, and it really troubled Butler Zhao for a while .

Those who could be sent back home were sent back, and those who had money were sent back . Until the day before Lord Xu got married, there were still several women who refused to leave .

In order to live up to the master’s order, Butler Zhao gritted his teeth and set his heart . He ordered the women to be forcibly removed . Their luggage was thrown out and the door was closed . They let them cry and shout, but they refused to open the door, and essentially cast them away .

Who knew that when Yu Linglong got married, these women would come to the Xu Palace again . Perhaps they knew that they could not enter the front entrance . These women simply waited at the back door and kept saying that they wanted to see the new princess . If the princess did not see them, they would not go .

When the master was newly married, Butler Zhao didn’t dare to deal with this . He would not allow them to enter the door anyway, thinking that as long as these days pa.s.sed, these women would naturally retreat .

But these women didn’t know what was going on, and they actually stayed at the back door . Now three days have pa.s.sed . They even threatened that if the princess didn’t see them again, they would hang themselves collectively at the door of the Xu Palace .

Seeing that things were going to make a big mess, Butler Zhao didn’t dare to call the shots without permission, so he had to let his wife come in and report the matter to the princess, who asked the princess to make a decision .

Zhao Liandeng was chattering about for a long time . Yu Linglong became angry when she heard it, and she wished she could take this grimacing wife out and beat her up .

After understanding the causes and consequences of the matter, Yu Linglong said to Mama Liu with a calm face: “Pull her out of here and hit her five times!”

Zhao Liandeng was so frightened that she knelt down on the ground: “I knew that I was wrong, please forgive me!

Yu Linglong looked at her coldly and said, “Oh? You know it’s wrong? Then I’ll ask you, what’s wrong with you?”

Zhao Liandeng hesitated at home for a moment, then said: “I…I shouldn’t, shouldn’t let those people wait at the back door…”

Yu Linglong frowned . What was this all about? How can such a stupid person get into trouble?

Yu Linglong drank a sip of tea, wetted her throat, and said, “First, you are wrong in speaking unclearly; and second, you are evasive . ”

She just listened to her speak for half an hour . If n.o.body replied to her, then she wouldn’t have to do anything for a whole day besides listening to her!

Zhao Liandeng bowed her head deeply: “I knew that I was wrong, and I would never dare to do it again . ”

Yu Linglong continued: “Third, those women said they would hang themselves, so let them hang themselves, and throw their bodies directly to the ma.s.s graves to feed the dogs! Such a small matter can’t be handled well, so you have to ask me what to do? What’s the use of someone like you? Do you think you should be hit with the board!?”

What Zhao Liandeng heard was so utterly staggering . The new princess’s temper was really hot . When she said these words, she didn’t even blink her eyes . It was a life, did she just handle it casually?

Thinking of those people, Zhao Liandeng wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, and said cautiously: “Princess, there are two women who were awarded to the prince by His Royal Highness…”

Upon hearing these words, Yu Linglong’s eyebrows raised slightly, finally showing a sense of interest .

“You mean, someone is here that the crown prince gave to Lord Xu?”

Seeing that Yu Linglong was no longer entangled in the matter of beating her, Zhao Liandeng was slightly relieved, and hurriedly said, “Yes, one is called Yi Hong and the other is Ban Lü . ”

Fortunately, after she said this, it seemed that the new princess glanced at her, and she also knew that she couldn’t offend the now-popular prince .

Although these two women have humble statuses, they were rewarded by the prince to Lord Xu . Their ident.i.ties were naturally different . They were still dancing girls and singers, but behind them, they had the prince as a backer . Such women were righteous . The new wife Yu Linglong should show some face, otherwise, wouldn’t she be charged with contempt of the prince?

Although Lord Xu had a n.o.ble status, he was slightly inferior to the prince . People awarded by the prince cannot be easily dismissed .

If these women were really hanged at the door of Prince Xu’s Mansion, the matter would be heard by the crown prince, and it would definitely have an impact on the relations.h.i.+p between the crown prince and Lord Xu . For such a small number of women, it would be more than a loss .

These were all things Zhao Liandeng took for granted, and it was also the reason why she had to come in to report Yu Linglong, and as for Yu Linglong’s thoughts, no one knew what she was thinking about .

Yu Linglong’s expression was uncertain, but a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth .

“Okay, let’s tell them to come in . ” Yu Linglong pulled out her kerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth lightly . “Let me see what they have!”
