Chapter 712

Where were they hiding?

Chu Shao Yang's guess was not wrong. Chu Shao Bai and Zhui Feng had not left the palace and were hiding right under his eyes.

That place was the most dangerous place, but it was also the safest place.

*

When Chu Shao Yang appeared, Chu Shao Bai and Zhui Feng who were hiding looked at each other. Especially Zhui Feng, his eyes revealed a look of admiration towards Chu Shao Bai.

King Jing An was truly smart, thinking of this kind of clever plan.

Not long after the fire was lit, Chu Shao Yang who they couldn't find appeared.

Chu Shao Bai gave Zhui Feng a look and Zhui Feng understood. He sniffed the air with his nose before running in the direction of the garden.

At this time, the entire palace was in chaos and everyone was running to put out the fire. Adding in their high qinggong, they were not discovered by anyone as they found the secret passage in the fake mountain.

The two of them entered the secret passage and moved forward. Although there were guards left behind by Chu Shao Yang to watch over Chen Ning, how could they be a match for Chu Shao Bai and Zhui Feng. They all had their acupuncture points sealed and were lying on the ground like dead fish.

The two of them arrived in front of the stone door and Chu Shao Bai's heart couldn't help beating fast. He had already guessed that Chen Ning was locked inside.

He forcefully pushed it, but it did not budge.

Zhui Feng bent down and took out a key from the chest of the hidden guard on the ground. Turning it around, the stone door made a squeaking sound as it slowly opened.

Chu Shao Bai saw the pool of blood on the ground and the two severed fingers. His heart suddenly shrank.

"Ning 'er!" He loudly shouted as he charged into the stone room. He quickly saw Chen Ning on the bed.

Her face was like a peach blossom in March, it was so red that it looked like blood was about to drip out. Her lips were cracked and her eyes were closed with tightly knit brows. Her body under the blanket kept trembling, as if she was in great pain.

Chu Shao Bai's heart filled with pain.

His third brother really tortured her! His third brother really vented all his anger on her.

She clearly heard his voice, but she still did not open her eyes, like she was already unconscious.

Chu Shao Bai charged over and lifted the blanket covering her without even thinking. He wanted to see where she was injured because the two severed fingers and the pool of blood on the ground made his heart jump.

As soon as the quilt was lifted, a piece of fragrant and jade-like skin entered his eyes, causing him to be instantly dumbfounded.

She was only wearing a tight-fitting shirt. Her skin was as delicate as porcelain and had a light pink hue. Under the dim candlelight, tiny beads of sweat rolled down her skin like dewdrops, emitting a glossy luster.

"Ah!" Chu Shao Bai let out a cry of surprise. He felt his mouth turn dry and his breathing become rough.

He immediately realized that he shouldn't have looked and immediately covered her body with the brocade quilt again, covering her tightly.

But even so, his heart was already about to jump out of his chest, thumping madly without any control.

He never would have thought that she would look like this under the brocade quilt, but he immediately thought that it was all thanks to his third brother that she became like this!

It had to be his third brother's doing!

His heart filled with rage once again. When he saw the severed fingers on the ground, his heart turned cold. In that quick glance, he did not notice if she was injured at all.
