"Princess, please don't be willful. His Majesty is doing this for your own good." The palace maid at the side hurriedly went up to support her.
Donghuang Linger grabbed the palace maid's wrist and said with a sharp voice, "Speak, what happened when I wasn't around?"
Her brother wasn't someone impersonating him. However, ever since she returned, her mother and brother seemed to be acting a little strange.
Donghuang Linger wasn't an idiot. She knew that something must have happened that she didn't know about.
If Minister Zuo and his group thought that she was still that pampered canary in the palace, then they were gravely mistaken.
"Your highness, this servant doesn't know anything." The palace maid cowered.
Donghuang Linger took out her magic scepter, and the emerald green wind scythe circled around her. Her face was filled with killing intent. "Are you Minister Zuo's subordinate or Dugu Xiu's subordinate?"
The palace maid felt a chill in her heart. Just as she was about to escape, the wind scythe slashed the palace maid's calf, causing blood to flow out.
The palace maid was in so much pain that she almost fainted. She didn't expect that such a delicate woman like the princess would be so ruthless.
Donghuang Linger stepped on the palace maid's wound. "You should have heard that I have been studying in the continent's magic elite camp for the past few years. Do you want to try the taste of magic, the taste of wind scythe slashing your beautiful face? "
This palace maid was just an ordinary martial artist who knew some martial arts. She was originally sent by Minister Zuo to monitor Donghuang Linger.
Neither Minister Zuo nor Dugu Xiu expected that Donghuang Linger would counterattack.
Donghuang Linger had followed Yun Sheng for a few years, especially during the days in the Sky Wings Arena. Her wisdom and methods were already incomparable to the Donghuang Linger who had just left the Eastern Capital.
One is marked by the company one keeps, and one is marked by the company one keeps. Currently, Donghuang Ling 'er had already learned most of Yunsheng's bandit style of strengthening and robbing.
She knew very well that she had to be unscrupulous when dealing with her enemies.
That palace maid was so frightened that she immediately told Donghuang Ling 'er everything that had happened earlier.
Hearing that, Donghuang Ling 'er chopped the palace maid's neck with her palm, and the palace maid fainted.
Donghuang Linger decided to escape from the Imperial Palace first. However, she was still worried about Empress Dowager Situ. After hesitating for a while, Donghuang Linger decided to go to Empress Dowager Situ's palace first.
Donghuang Ling 'er snuck into Empress Dowager's palace. "Imperial Mother, imperial brother wants me to marry Dugu Xiu. Do you know about this?"
"Ling 'er, you're not young anymore. It's time for you to get married." Empress Dowager Situ looked kind as she took her daughter's hand.
"Imperial Mother, Ling 'er said that I can marry anyone, but I can't marry rebels. Could it be that you didn't know that my father was killed by an assassin sent by the Qin Emperor Later Qin? "Donghuang Ling 'er's eyes turned red.
When the previous East Monarch passed away, Donghuang Ling 'er was still very young. Empress Dowager Situ only said that the previous East Monarch died of an illness.
After Donghuang Ling 'er grew up, she became even more suspicious of the previous East Monarch's death. When she left the Eastern Capital, on the surface, she went to learn magic. However, in reality, she was secretly investigating the true cause of the previous East Monarch's death.
Sure enough, she found some clues.
All kinds of clues showed that the previous East Monarch's death was related to the Left Minister and the Later Qin Dynasty.
And because she knew the truth, no matter what, Donghuang Ling 'er was unwilling to marry Dugu Xiu.
Empress Dowager Situ had a terrified expression as she covered her daughter's mouth. "Ling 'er, who told you these words? Don't speak nonsense."
"I'm not young anymore. Imperial Mother, we can't stay here anymore. Imperial brother seems to be acting a bit strange. I'll bring you away first. "Donghuang Ling 'er pulled Empress Dowager Situ up and wanted to leave.
"Your highness, where are you going?" A delicate voice sounded from the side.
A beautiful palace maid was the first to open the curtain and walk in.
This palace maid was around 28 years old. She had a pair of seductive eyes and a graceful figure. She emitted a seductive aura from her bones.
Donghuang Ling 'er saw that this palace maid didn't look familiar. She didn't know when this woman came to the Empress Dowager's palace. She became vigilant and asked, "Who are you? Why are you in imperial mother's palace?"
"Hehe, princess hasn't returned to the palace for a long time. It's natural that you don't recognize big sister." The palace maid walked over. The strong fragrance coming from her body made Donghuang Ling 'er frown.
"Who's your little sister? Don't act so intimate." Donghuang Ling 'er was annoyed. She hated seeing this kind of appearance from women the most.
This woman had a seductive aura. Just by looking at her, Donghuang Ling 'er felt that there was something wrong with this woman. Subconsciously, she pulled Empress Dowager Situ and retreated a few steps, keeping a safe distance from this woman.
"Hehe, little sister, don't be angry. This humble one's name is Chi Bi. I'm the concubine of the Dark Prince. After you marry the Dark Prince, you and I will be serving the Dark Prince in the future. I am one year older than you. If you don't want to call me big sister, you can just call me Chi Bi. "The seductive woman covered her mouth and laughed lightly.
Hearing that, Donghuang Ling 'er became even more displeased.
"Who wants to marry someone like Dugu Xiu who has wild ambitions? Go back and tell him that even if Donghuang Ling 'er dies, I won't marry him." After Donghuang Ling' er finished speaking, she felt a pain on her neck. Then, she lost consciousness and fell onto the ground.
Behind her, Empress Dowager Situ had a stupefied expression on her face. In her hand, she was holding onto a hairpin that was dipped in poison.
Madam Chi Bi walked over and touched Donghuang Ling 'er's face. "Tsk, tsk, as expected, you have a good appearance. It's a pity that your temper is a bit too strong. Forget it, let big sister properly teach you a lesson. When the time comes, Crown Prince Dugu will naturally dote on you. "
"Madam Chi Bi." The palace maid that was knocked unconscious by Donghuang Ling 'er held onto her wound and came over to apologize.
"Useless thing. Luckily, the crown prince was smart enough to order me to control Donghuang Tianqi and Old Lady Situ. Otherwise, the princess would have escaped." Madam Chi Bi ordered someone to carry away the unconscious Donghuang Ling 'er.
"I know my mistake. Oh, right, just now, the princess ordered me to burn the letters. From the looks of it, the letters were sent over from the continent's magic elite camp." The palace maid took out two letters.
Madam Chi Bi casually took the letter from Gu Feng and took a few glances at it. "Pfff." She laughed out loud.
"Oh, I even met someone who is infatuated with love. It's a pity that his sweetheart is going to marry the crown prince. Burn the letters. Do it cleanly."
"Understood." The palace maid hurriedly retreated.
A few days later, Gu Feng looked for Yun Sheng anxiously.
"Yun Sheng, did you receive Ling 'er's letters? I have already written over ten letters, but she didn't reply to a single one of them. "Gufeng had a depressed expression on his face.
Earlier, when Donghuang Ling 'er left, she was worried that Gufeng would request to escort her. Thus, she didn't tell Gufeng.
After Gufeng found out about it, he even secretly complained to Yun Sheng.
After that, he started to write letters to Ling 'er. However, after he sent the letters out, there was no reply.
After being reminded by Gufeng, only then did Yun Sheng remember that Ling 'er had indeed gone back for too long. She also didn't reply to any of the letters that she wrote to Ling' er earlier.
Something was wrong.
