My Lady is well

After Shen Yueyao adjusted herself for a few breaths, she curled her fingertips into a fist and pinched her palms hard with her nails, forcing herself to calm down.

She slowly raised her eyes and met Li Ning's icy eyes.

At this moment, she seemed to see Jing Ruzhang.

She knew that Li Ning was a special person in the palace and she always kept to herself.

She is the daughter of General Li Yong, the great general of the country, and Jing Ruzhang has to respect her.

She doesn't even take the Crown Princess seriously. Simply put, she can almost do whatever she wants in the East Palace.

Shen Yueyao can't afford to offend such a person.

But her life is in other people's hands, so she can only give it a try.

"If you kill me, His Royal Highness will pursue the matter thoroughly. I will pretend that I didn't see anything that happened today. What do you think?"

Li Ning looked at her coldly, with a hint of mockery in his eyes.

"Why should I trust you?"

"Kill me. If His Royal Highness insists on tracking me down, he will definitely find you. Kill me or trust me. The choice is yours."

Li Ning snorted as if she had heard some shameful joke, and patted her face lightly with her slender fingertips.

"You think too highly of yourself. Do you know who I am?"

Shen Yueyao shook her head deliberately, and Li Ning looked at her with interest.

No one else would dare to say such things to her.

Since she entered the Eastern Palace, she had never met such a fool who dared to negotiate with her.

The man surnamed Yang only dared to say a few words about her behind her back. If he really met her, he would not dare to walk with his head held high.

The corner of her mouth curled up into a sneer, and she seemed to be interested in her.

"You are an interesting person. I don't want to kill you for the time being. In fact, even if the prince knew that I killed you, he would not do anything to me. Do you believe it?"

Of course, how could Jing Ruzhang offend the great general because of a little merchant girl?

She was just gambling.

I bet that Li Ning likes Jing Ruzhang and will take her image in his heart into consideration.

She lost the bet, and when Li Ning mentioned Jing Ruzhang, there was disdain in her eyes.

Fortunately, she said she would not kill her, so there is still room for the situation to turn around.

Shen Yueyao covered her chest and let out a long sigh.

Li Ning snorted, took out a dagger from his waist and handed it to her.

Shen Yueyao frowned, looked at her blankly, and asked cautiously.

"Do...what?"

"Didn't you just ask me to trust you? Take it, go over there, stab him twice, and I'll let you go."

? !

Animals!

Even though the person was dead, he still had to be stabbed twice. What kind of hatred or grudge was that?

Shen Yueyao saw the fierceness in her eyes, as if if she didn't stab him twice, the dagger would stab her.

How do I choose this?

Li Ning is trying to force her to be an accomplice.

"What? Don't you dare?"

She really didn't dare, but she was afraid of being stabbed.

Shen Yueyao bit her lips tightly, made up her mind, and stretched out her trembling hands to take the dagger.

How could she have the courage to kill someone?

Human life is precious in her world, but like grass here.

Shen Yueyao walked forward reluctantly and looked at the corpse lying quietly on the ground.

He was wearing the uniform black straight-collared iron armor worn by the palace guards, and had a haggard face and was not good-looking.

When you get closer, you can faintly smell the smell of alcohol.

She frowned, it seemed that Li Ning took advantage of him being drunk to attack him.

I don’t know what grudge Li Ning had against him that made him want to kill him.

Based on Li Ning's skills just now, he would not be his match if he wasn't drunk.

"What are you dawdling for? Hurry up."

Shen Yueyao was frightened by her and gestured with the knife twice, but still didn't know where to start.

She was really afraid and didn't dare!

I don’t even dare to kill a chicken, let alone a person.

As she was hesitating, she suddenly heard the sound of footsteps approaching from behind. Shen Yueyao quickly turned around and exclaimed.

"somebody is coming."

Li Ning looked calm, not at all panicked, as if she was not the one who had just killed someone.

She glanced at Shen Yueyao indifferently and nodded.

"Well, I'll leave this to you. I'm leaving now. Good luck."

Shen Yueyao was shocked. What do you mean leave it to her?

She moved her red lips and looked at Li Ning intently.

I saw her tapping the ground with her toes, jumping lightly, and flying onto the tree branch as light as a swallow.

The slender branch lowered its head slightly, bringing down a leaf, and with a little help from the tree, it leaped over the high wall.

Shen Yueyao only saw a piece of light gauze fluttering, as beautiful as a fluttering butterfly.

She was dumbfounded. She was asked to be a scapegoat!

I cursed her secretly, this damn woman! Throw her to death!

Shen Yueyao looked down at the dagger in her hand, her hand trembled, and she slipped into the lake with a splash.

She turned her head to look at the corpse beside her. How could she explain it clearly if others saw it?

She thought about it and made a decision immediately.

He gritted his teeth and took great pains to push the man into the water.

Hearing the footsteps getting closer, she held her breath, closed her eyes, jumped, and jumped into the water.

The lake water was slightly cool, and Shen Yueyao shivered in the water with her arms hugged.

I saw a group of people rushing towards this side. They seemed to be the guards from the palace.

She thrashed about and yelled, "Help, help..."

Jin'er also rushed over at this time. When she heard the voice, she knew it was her. She held up her skirt and ran while shouting.

"Master, master..."

Jing Ruzhang hurried over in the crowd, and when he saw Jin'er, his brows furrowed and he looked at the clothes floating on the water.

He said coldly: "Hurry up and save people."

In less than a cup of tea, the guards fished Shen Yueyao out together with the corpse.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince is dead."

Upon hearing this, Jing Ruzhan's brows darkened and his voice became as eerie as a ghost.

"What did you say?"

Jiang Ye was stunned for a moment and said, "I say Chen Wei is dead."

Jing Ruzhang ignored him and walked straight to Shen Yueyao.

She was lying on the ground, her clothes soaked and clinging to her skin, highlighting her slender figure. The guards turned their backs with red faces.

Jing Ruzhang squatted down, reached out to feel her breath, and his tightly furrowed brows relaxed.

Her face was pale, with a few strands of hair sticking to her face.

He glanced at Jin'er, who was stopped behind by the guards, holding a cloak in his hand.

"Let her in."

Jin'er quickly put the cloak on her, looking anxious, with tears in her eyes, and called out several times: "Master, Master..."

Jing Ruzhang carried the person back to Liufengyuan and asked Jin'er to bathe and change her clothes.

Jiang Ye hurried over to find him and whispered a few words in his ear, and he said calmly.

"understood."

He glanced at the figure behind the screen and strode out of the room.

Warm water poured over the fair skin, and tiny water droplets hung on the long eyelashes.

Jin'er had tears on her face and sobbed a few times out of heartache.

"Don't cry, I'm not dead yet."

Shen Yueyao placed her slender hands on the bathtub, slowly opened her eyes, looked up at the ceiling, and said nonchalantly.

Jin'er's hands paused and she said in surprise.

"Master, are you okay?!"

In Jin'er's opinion, Shen Yueyao can't swim and is even a little afraid of water.

There was no time to think about it. Seeing her wake up, the huge stone pressing on my heart fell to the ground, and the look in my eyes suddenly turned from sadness to joy.

Shen Yueyao glanced at her surprised look and sighed.

"Master, I remember that you can't swim?"

Shen Yueyao smiled indifferently and looked for an excuse.

“Just learned it in the lake.”

Jin'er looked at her in disbelief. Her master's behavior made her even more confused.

"You didn't faint just now, did you?"

Shen Yueyao nodded softly, her tone calm.

Jin'er felt that she was a little strange, as if she was thinking about something. Even though she had doubts in her heart, she did not disturb her anymore.

Shen Yueyao looked at her and thought for a moment. Jin'er was the only confidant around her.

I still need to find a suitable way to tell her what I think.

The east wind blew a bamboo leaf through the west window and floated into the room.

Shen Yueyao spread out Bai Fu's palm and let it slowly fall into her palm. She held the leaf root and turned it gently.

The afterglow of the setting sun kissed her face through the mottled bamboo leaves. The scattered spots of light flickered on her face, just like the mysterious and beautiful glow hiding behind the setting sun in the sky.

With a faint smile on her lips, she released the fallen leaf back into the wind, letting it fly away.

"Jin'er, I had a dream. In the dream, I was tortured to death by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who will be the emperor in the future."

"W-what?!"

Jin'er's eyes trembled and she spoke with a trembling voice.

"How could that be? I heard that dreams are the opposite of reality."

"Really? But I think it's real. It really hurts, and it's really miserable."

"master……"

"Okay, let's just avoid him from now on. Also, be more restrained in front of others and don't give them any handles."

Jin'er hesitated to speak, and nodded as if she understood.
