"You're not allowed to touch her!" Xu Qingchen seemed to be enraged and warned her coldly.
"Eh? You really care about her? " The woman looked at Xu Qingchen strangely, "Why would you like a little girl who hasn't grown up yet?" Xu Qingchen said indifferently, "As long as she's my fiancée, I'll naturally care." The woman stared at her, "You mean no matter what kind of person she is, as long as she's your fiancée, you'll care about her?" Xu Qingchen smiled, "Isn't that natural? Since she's my future wife, if I don't care about her, who else would I care about? "
"You … Fine, I'll show you what I'm capable of!" The woman sneered and glared hatefully at Xu Qingchen before leaving in a huff.
Hearing the heavy stone door close again, Xu Qingchen slowly put down the book in her hand. Her handsome eyes drooped, "Fiancée … Miss Chu … Li 'er …"
Late at night, Princess Anxi's residence was quiet. Only the light in the study was still faintly lit. Princess Anxi's handsome face showed a trace of tiredness as she frowned at the man in front of her. "Is there still no news from Qingchen?" The man shook his head and said in a low voice, "No." Princess Anxi said anxiously, "What's the matter? Does she still not believe that we really think Qingchen is missing? "
The man nodded, "It's very likely. Although we've sent people to look for Young Master Qingchen, it's very likely that she still thinks we're working together with Young Master Qingchen to put on a show for her."
"I hope nothing bad happened to Qingchen." Princess Anxi closed her eyes tiredly and rubbed her aching forehead, "We've spent so much effort and finally made the situation better. If we fail now, I'm afraid … Father … "The man frowned," His Majesty still doesn't believe the princess? "Princess Anxi smiled bitterly," Father is just over forty years old and is in the prime of his life. Even if he believes us, he won't support us. He needs another force to suppress me, the Crown Princess. "If it wasn't for Father's secret favoritism, they wouldn't have failed again and again in the past six months. Every time they were about to catch that person's tail, she would escape. "Now even the commander's seal is in her hands. If we can't get the commander's seal back, nothing we do will be of any use."
Princess Anxi didn't understand why her wise father would side with that woman. But he couldn't just stand by and watch as she tried to do something bad to Nanzhao. This was her responsibility as the Princess of Nanzhao and the Crown Princess.
"Can you find out where Young Master Qingchen is?" Princess Anxi asked. "If you can't find out, then ask Qingchen to withdraw first. This is Nanzhao's own matter. We cannot implicate him. "
The man shook his head and said, "I'm afraid not. Although we receive news from Young Master Qing Chen from time to time, it is Young Master Qing Chen who gets in touch with us. We have no idea where Young Master Qingchen is. "
"Damn it!" Princess Anxi cursed.
"Assassin!" A shout came from outside the courtyard. Princess Anxi stood up abruptly. The man beside her pulled out his sword and opened the door. But soon he came back and said with a frown, "They are going to the guest courtyard." Princess Anxi said, "There is only Miss Chu in the guest courtyard. Why would the assassin want to find her? Let's go and have a look. "Then she rushed out of the door and went to the guest courtyard. The man quickly closed the door and followed her out. The study was quiet again. The window in the corner moved slightly. Then it was pushed open. A black figure quickly flipped in. A pair of clear and beautiful eyes were revealed under the black mask. The black-clothed person quickly walked to the desk and flipped through the files on the table. After looking through them once, she didn't seem to have found anything. She then went to the bookshelf behind her to look for something. There weren't many books in Princess Anxi's study. Most of them were official documents, and most of them were written in Nanjiang. After a long time, a file hidden in the most inconspicuous corner of the bookshelf fell into the eyes of the person in black. What caught her attention was not the file itself, but the seal on it. It was a sunflower-shaped seal. The eyes of the black-clothed man flashed, and a thin blade appeared at his fingertips. He quickly tore open the sealed file. She glanced through it quickly. A faint smile appeared in her beautiful eyes. After resealing the file, she restored the study to its original state. Then she flipped out of the window.
In the guest courtyard, Princess Anxi was stopped at the door by An Er when she arrived with her guards. An Er looked at the people in front of him with a sullen face and said, "Princess, it's so late. What's the matter?" Princess Anxi said, "Assassins just broke into the guest courtyard. Is Miss Chu all right?"
"Assassins?" An Er frowned and said, "I've been keeping watch outside. No assassins came in."
Princess Anxi was surprised. Her guards would never lie. Besides, she did see several black figures enter the guest courtyard from a distance. Why did Miss Chu's guards deny it? "Guard Lin, Miss Chu is Young Master Qingchen's fiancée. If she is hurt, I can't explain it to Young Master Qingchen. Is it true that no one broke into the guest courtyard? " An Er's face was unhappy. He said in a low voice, "When there was a quarrel outside, there were several black figures approaching. But they were scared away by my hidden weapons. Some of them should have been injured. But they definitely didn't enter the guest courtyard. Miss Chu's reputation is important. Princess, please be careful with your words. "
Looking at An Er's gloomy and serious expression, Princess Anxi finally understood why this guard insisted that the assassins didn't come in. The women of the Central Plains were much stricter about their reputation than those in the south.
"My apologies, Guard Lin. It was this princess's slip of the tongue. " She waved her hand to let the guards behind her leave to continue searching for the assassins. Then she turned to An Er and said, "Did the commotion just now scare Miss Chu? Why didn't she come out?" An Er said indifferently, "Miss Chu lives in the inner courtyard. Perhaps she didn't hear the commotion outside." Princess Anxi frowned and said, "Since it's inconvenient for Guard Lin, this princess will go see Miss Chu in person. It's not good if she's scared … "
"No …"
"Princess sister, what's the matter?" An Er was about to refuse when Ye Li's voice came from behind. Ye Li was wearing a large cloak. Her beautiful hair was draped over her shoulders. There was a faint sleepiness and confusion in her eyes. The one holding the lamp beside her was really a maid sent by Princess Anxi to serve her. Princess Anxi smiled and said, "It's nothing. Just a few thieves broke in. Did they disturb Miss Chu?" Ye Li tilted her head and smiled peacefully. "Don't worry. Lin Han's martial arts are very good. He's been protecting me all this time. Lin Han, right? "An Er lowered his head and said respectfully," That's right. Don't worry, Miss. The assassins didn't come in just now. I've already beaten them away. "
Princess Anxi looked at Ye Li and saw that there was nothing wrong with her. Then she nodded and said, "In that case, Miss Chu should have a good rest. I'll send people to look elsewhere in case any fish escapes the net. "
"Yes, thank you for your hard work, Princess sister." Ye Li smiled obediently. Watching Princess Anxi leave, the smile on Ye Li's face gradually disappeared. She turned to the maid beside her and said, "Let's go back." The maid nodded and followed Ye Li to the inner courtyard. As soon as they entered the room, they felt their backs go numb and they fell to the ground. An Er quietly appeared at the door. Ye Li raised her eyebrows and looked at him, asking, "What's the matter with the assassins?" An Er said in a low voice, "There were indeed assassins. They should have come for Miss." An Er walked into the room and pulled out a black-clothed figure from under the bed, "A total of three people came. They underestimated the enemy too much and were discovered by the princess's guards. After being injured by my hidden weapon, they immediately left. This one was the most seriously injured and was caught by me. "
