"No! Prince Ding, you can't do this! "In the crowd, Princess Lingyun stepped forward and stared at Mo Xiuyao.
Mo Xiuyao curled his lips in disdain and said lightly, "I don't need you to tell I what to do." Princess Lingyun said sternly, "They are the officials of West-Hill. Your Prince Ding Mansion has no right to punish them."
Feng Zhiyao stepped forward and stopped Princess Lingyun. He smiled faintly and said, "They are the assassins who tried to assassinate Princess Ding. The Prince Ding Mansion has the right to decide how to punish them." Princess Lingyun could not help but choke and argued, "But their clansmen are innocent." Feng Zhi Yao sneered and looked at Princess Ling Yun with interest, "Assassinating Ding Wangfei, it is not too much to say that the nine familial extermination is a great crime, right? Moreover, the Prince Ding Mansion is only implicating three clans. This is considered to be giving face to the Emperor Of Xiling. "
Princess Lingyun's face turned ugly. These assassins were not of high status, and could even be said to be inconspicuous. However, their families were all prominent in West-Hill, and most of them followed Zhennan Palace. Moreover, the marriage alliances between the nobles were always between these families. If the three clans were implicated, at least half of the nobles in the Emperor Of Xiling's city would be killed or injured. The power of Zhennan Palace could be said to be completely destroyed. Compared to her disappointing and weak father, Princess Lingyun had always respected her capable uncle, Lei Zhenting. She had a good relationship with Zhennan Palace. Naturally, she did not want Lei Zhenting's power in the Imperial City to be completely destroyed by Mo Xiuyao.
"Even if that's the case, we should report this matter to my Imperial Father before dealing with it," said Princess Lingyun.
Feng Zhiyao sneered and said, "The Emperor Of Xiling City is now the Prince Ding Mansion. Your Emperor Of Xiling Clan is only temporarily living here. Since when does the host need to consult the guest on how to do things? "
"You … You're shameless!" Princess Lingyun was speechless and could only curse.
Feng Zhiyao rolled his eyes speechlessly. Just as he was about to open his mouth to rebuke Princess Lingyun, a white figure flashed past like a gust of wind. The arrogant Princess Lingyun had already been grabbed by the neck and her eyes rolled back. Mo Xiuyao looked down from above and stared coldly at the exquisitely made-up woman in front of him. His voice was as cold as the wind. "Since when did you have the right to interfere in I's business? Do you think … you'll be fine just because you're the Princess of Xiling? "
With Mo Xiuyao choking Princess Lingyun, she almost couldn't breathe. With difficulty, she said, "I … don't care … I, haha …" Mo Xiuyao didn't show any mercy. Princess Lingyun used all her strength but couldn't utter a complete sentence. She could only watch helplessly as her breathing became more and more difficult. Her heart was in so much pain that it felt like it was going to explode.
"How many of these people were brought here by you? Hmm? "Mo Xiuyao asked.
Princess Lingyun's expression changed and her eyes were filled with fear. She fearfully looked at Mo Xiuyao's smiling face and saw the undisguised murderous intent in his deep eyes. "No …" This was Princess Lingyun's last word. Under everyone's gaze, Princess Lingyun, who had been arguing loudly just a moment ago, silently slid to the ground, blood seeping out of her lips.
"Ah?!" Someone finally couldn't stand the horrifying scene in front of them and screamed. Instantly, the Flower Garden became noisy. The women present all knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. Even someone like Princess Lingyun was killed by Prince Ding without hesitation, let alone them.
"Shut up!" Feng Zhiyao looked at Mo Xiuyao, who was clearly getting impatient amidst the noisy crying. He hurriedly shouted.
With his shout, the crying stopped abruptly. Mo Xiuyao walked to a chair that had been placed not far away and sat down. His gaze slowly fell on the mother and daughter of the Bai family, who were huddled in the crowd. When Bai Qingning felt Mo Xiuyao's gaze fall on her, she couldn't help but shiver. She did her best to lean against Madam Bai. After what happened just now, she didn't have the slightest bit of ambition or status as Prince Ding in her heart. Right now, in her heart, Prince Ding was clearly much more terrifying than the evil spirits of the underworld. If she could leave this place immediately, she only hoped that she would never see this person again in her life.
"Bai Qingning?" Mo Xiuyao calmly called out. There wasn't a trace of joy or anger in his voice.
The scene was chaotic just now, so Madam Bai didn't see what Bai Qingning had done. Although she was extremely afraid of Mo Xiuyao, she only thought that Prince Ding had taken a liking to her daughter and hurriedly reached out to push Bai Qingning. Bai Qingning's body trembled. She repeatedly shook her head and hid next to Madam Bai, not daring to move. Feng Zhiyao, who was standing next to Mo Xiuyao, waved his hand to the side. Two guards came forward and easily brought Bai Qingning in front of Mo Xiuyao.
Mo Xiuyao carefully sized up Bai Qingning. After a while, he calmly said, "Not bad looking."
It was clearly a compliment, but in Bai Qingning's ears, it was like a death sentence. Thinking about how Mo Xiuyao had praised the two assassins for being very good and having backbone, Bai Qingning's face became even paler. Trembling as she knelt on the ground, Bai Qingning suppressed her fear and said, "Prince … Thank you Prince for the compliment …"
Mo Xiuyao coldly laughed, "I didn't praise you. My beloved concubine is unconscious because of you. How dare you!"
"No!" Bai Qingning involuntarily cried out, "It has nothing to do with me! I didn't … I didn't do anything! " She really didn't do anything. Yes, she had helped Ye Li, but that was an accident. The person she wanted to help wasn't Ye Li. Moreover, she just wanted to live. In that kind of situation, she didn't even have the strength to truss a chicken. Was it wrong to want to live?
"You didn't do anything?" Mo Xiuyao stared at her. Bai Qingning repeatedly nodded and said, "That's right, it has nothing to do with me. I didn't do anything! "
"You didn't do anything … You still deserve to die!" Mo Xiuyao's eyes were filled with viciousness. He stared at Bai Qingning with disgust and even hatred. His voice was gentle, "You were by Li's side. Why didn't you block for her?"
Bai Qingning was speechless. So in Prince Ding's eyes, not blocking for Princess Ding was one of the reasons she deserved to die? No! Bai Qingning repeatedly shook her head. A wave of unreconciled anger rose in her heart.
Why? Why did she deserve to die just because she didn't block for Princess Ding? Why should she, a weak and powerless woman, block a sword for a person who was completely unrelated to her, who was skilled in martial arts? She just wanted to live. Was that wrong?
"No! I don't accept this! "Bai Qingning sharply shouted.
