Dead?
Xiao Li leaned closer, wanting to test if the body was truly deceased but fearing a feigned death, so she timidly hid behind the person who had arrived.
“Is this truly dead now?”
Lou Yan sheathed his sword and looked down at the hand tightly gripping his belt. “Truly dead, This Princess may relax now.”
Xiao Li patted her heart, looking frightened. “It was truly terrifying, it almost scared This Princess to death, thankfully Eunuch Lou Yan arrived in time, otherwise I would have been finished, cough cough.”
Oh, she almost forgot her throat was sore.
Suddenly, she was choked, and a mouthful of water spewed out, all blood foam.
But even in such a miserable state, Xiao Li didn’t forget to praise Lou Yan: “Eunuch Lou Yan saved This Princess from fire and water by executing the assassin, I will definitely tell Imperial Brother when I return, so he can reward you greatly, cough cough.”
Lou Yan glanced at her with his half-lowered eyes, his expression unreadable, and didn’t respond.
Gu Ling hadn’t left the Imperial Capital at all; kidnapping her only brought him to a secluded house in the city.
When leaving, Xiao Li saw two corpses outside, which must have been Gu Ling’s men.
Gu Ling was stabbed in the heart, and no one went to help him, proving that those people were already dead before that.
How long had Lou Yan been here, and how much had he seen?
Xiao Li supported herself against the doorframe and slowly left the courtyard. This Master of Incense was interesting.
Lou Yan had separated to search with others. To find someone, he used Lightness Skill, let alone a carriage, there weren’t even any horses.
Xiao Li hadn’t expected to have to walk back herself in the end, but it didn’t matter, who was she to not be happy?
She thought Gu Ling had escaped, but she didn’t expect him to rush back to his death, which was excellent.
As she thought, she suddenly felt dizzy, and before losing consciousness, she saw a pair of narrow and long, demonic ink-colored eyes.
Cold and intimidating, deep and mysterious.
Tsk, quite seductive.
Lou Yan looked at the woman lying on the ground. Because of the struggle for her life, her clothes were disheveled, her hair was a little messy, the torn collar of her clothes revealed snow-white skin, and the purple-red handprint on her neck was particularly striking.
There were also red and swollen bruises on her wrist, and winding bloodstains, where she had injured herself while trying to break free from the ropes.
When he arrived, she was still tied to a rack, frantically attacking Gu Ling’s weaknesses, driving him mad.
Seeing this, he didn’t immediately rush to save her. A foolish and reckless princess deserved to perish, and wasn’t worth saving.
But in a moment, she had counterattacked brilliantly.
A princess who couldn’t even protect herself was useless, he didn’t bother to look at her more than once, but a crazy and ruthless princess was dazzling.
Especially her unconscious state now, covered in wounds, broken and messy, it was the most brilliant color he had ever seen.
Finally, he slowly bent his strong waist and extended his long, powerful arm, steadily embracing her.
A soft and delicate body, not much weight, just enough to fill his arms.
Two subordinates who had come to lead the horses saw the killer demon king holding the princess securely in his arms, looked at each other, this… was truly strange.
Although she killed Gu Ling, Xiao Li had suffered this time.
There wasn’t much bleeding, but her throat was injured. She could still speak at the time, but when she woke up after fainting, her throat felt blocked, and she couldn’t say a word.
Xiao Li: “.” Was this God’s punishment for her poisonous tongue?
She was forbidden to speak.
Not only could Xiao Li not speak, but her neck was also swollen and bruised, a dark, dark color, terrifying to look at.
The Emperor sent an Imperial Physician, who, after listening to his description, came to see her himself, and was furious.
He didn’t have much affection for this younger sister, but she was still his sister. Among all his siblings, Xuan Yang was the closest to him.
More importantly, Xuan Yang also represented his face. He was the Emperor, and his sister being bullied like this, where was his dignity?
The Gu Clan exiled? Hah, execute them all!
Xiao Li blinked her eyes, this had nothing to do with her.
Lan Yue was helping Xiao Li drink her medicine when a servant announced at the door: “Princess, the Consort has arrived.”
Xiao Li couldn’t speak, but she gestured with her hand: Get out!
She wanted to make Lu Yanzhi suffer, not to come and see her suffer.
Lu Yanzhi was persistent, determined to see Xiao Li.
Xiao Li: “.” If I, the Princess, could speak, I wouldn’t let you bother me so much.
Lu Yanzhi finally entered and offered Xiao Li tea: “Princess, have some tea.”
Seeing that Xiao Li didn’t move, he put down the teacup: “Has the Princess taken her medicine? Are you feeling better?”
Still no response, he looked at Xiao Li: “Why isn’t the Princess speaking? Is your throat still sore?”
If looks could kill, Lu Yanzhi would have been executed.
She wanted to kill him now, immediately!
Lan Yue handed over paper and pen, and Xiao Li angrily wrote: What do you want?
Lu Yanzhi read it, ignoring her angry expression: “I just came to visit the Princess.”
Visiting, or watching a joke?
Xiao Li resentfully wrote one large, bold character: Get out!
Xiao Li’s attitude was very bad, but because she couldn’t speak, her threat was diminished, like a tiger with its teeth pulled, all bluster.
Lu Yanzhi actually found her like this quite pleasing.
“Princess, don’t be angry, getting upset is bad for your health. Would you like some water?”
Xiao Li pulled the covers over her head and turned away, ignoring him.
Lu Yanzhi looked at the lump under the covers, this was the weakest Xiao Li had been in days.
But so what? Even if Xiao Li was kidnapped and injured, it didn’t change her malicious nature.
The Pingnan Hou Manor was stripped of its title, exiled, and now executed, all because of her saying a few disrespectful words to her.
Assassination? Who knew if she staged it and fabricated it herself?
Gu Ling died, the Pingnan Hou family was wiped out, and even Xueyin’s child died, all because of her.
So arrogant and overbearing, trampling on human life, deserving of punishment.
But the fact was that Princess was kidnapped while shopping with him, and if he didn’t inquire, the Emperor might blame the Lu Clan.
The play had to continue, he had to take advantage of her weakness and make her let down her guard.
Thankfully, Xiao Li didn’t know his intentions, otherwise she would have cursed: What are you thinking?
Someone had to send gifts to console the Princess after she was attacked, right?
Although Xiao Li was terrible, she was still a princess registered under the Empress Dowager and favored by the Emperor, so those below her had to act accordingly.
Gifts and medicines of all sizes were sent to the Princess Manor, all expressing concern and wishing her a speedy recovery.
So they didn’t know the Princess had become crazy and ruthless and beat people up? They knew, but she was a princess, and the Emperor cared about her, so they had to fawn over her.
It wasn’t strange for Xiao Jingyi to send gifts to express his condolences, nor was it strange for the Chen Wangfei to send a gift, but why did the Chen Wangfei come to deliver the gift herself?
Xiao Li didn’t speak, but she coldly smiled and wrote a note on a piece of paper and stuck it on Yang Jun’s face: If the Chen Wangfei dares to take another step forward, all the guards will be dismissed!
She didn’t need to think to know that Liu Xueyin had come for Gu Ling’s death.
Running up to provoke her again and again, did she want to die?
If anyone could break into the Princess Manor, then everyone could just leave!
Wow, finally there’s a cover!
Beautiful~~~~
