I married the crippled queen and became the most favored queen in the capital

Ling Xiao then looked up at Ling Yun, his eyes red as he sobbed.

"Ling Yun, can you imagine the pain of having your arm stabbed all over by someone else? Can you imagine it?"

His words puzzled Ling Yun. He couldn't help but laugh foolishly and put his hand on his shoulder.

"Ling Xiao, what's wrong with you? Why are you talking nonsense in broad daylight?"

Ling Xiao raised his hand impatiently and pulled Ling Yun's hand away.

"I just passed by the South Row House and saw with my own eyes that Chuntao's arms were covered with wounds. Those wounds were really shocking!"

what?

Ling Yun's anger instantly rose.

"Who dares to hurt her? Who dares to hurt her while the princess is away?"

Ling Xiao glanced at Yong Yan and the others guarding the door and reminded them quietly,

"Don't say anything. Chuntao won't let me."

Ling Yun then lowered his voice and asked quietly,

"Then what happened?"

Ling Xiao told Ling Yun what he had seen, and Ling Yun immediately swung his arms and cursed angrily.

"Could it be Aunt Liu? Is she so bold?"

Ling Xiao immediately frowned and shook his head.

"Do you think Madam Liu would be so brave?"

Ling Yun opened his mouth in astonishment.

"You mean... Nuanyu Pavilion?"

Ling Xiao clenched his fists and nodded.

"If I'm guessing correctly, it should be that now that we know about this matter, we can't just ignore it. Go to the front yard more often these days and keep an eye on Chuntao. If she is called to Nuanyu Pavilion again, you must tell me."

Ling Yun nodded angrily.

"Okay, if anyone dares to bully Chuntao while the princess is away, we brothers will be the first to not forgive him."

"This matter is not something you and I can resolve. In the end, we still have to rely on the prince. Just do as I say and keep an eye on Chuntao."

"it is good."

"By the way, the prince said that there will be trouble in the palace in the next two days, and he asked us to be alert at night."

"Got it. I'll go inform Su Yi and Jiang Hai now. Oh, the prince said that when the person who wants to test him shows up, he, the prince Yan, can take the opportunity to re-enter the arena. The two of them won't have to stay overnight. Then, they can join us in activities."

Ling Yun immediately waved his hands in joy.

"This is really great. I really miss the days when the four of us followed the prince together. I have been looking forward to this day for so long."

"Yes, these past few days I have often wondered if I was dreaming. How could the prince stand up? Even the imperial physician said that he would never be able to stand up again, but he could actually stand up and walk. This is really... really amazing."

"This is all thanks to the princess. For the sake of the prince, the princess endured all the contempt from others. For the sake of the people of Chang'an City, she remarried and moved to the Northern Chu Kingdom. She is really... really a righteous and extraordinary woman! Alas! It's just a pity..."

Ling Xiao immediately patted Ling Yun on the shoulder.

"The prince said that he would bring the princess back. I think he was eager to reveal his identity so that he could lead his troops to attack the Northern Chu Kingdom as soon as possible and rescue the princess as soon as possible."

"But Chu Hanxiang covets the princess. He finally took her away. Will he let her come back?"

A hint of gloom flashed across Ling Xiao's eyes.

"Okay, the prince has his own plans for this matter, so we don't need to worry too much. You stay here and I'll go find Su Yi and Jiang Hai."

Watching Ling Xiao walk away, Ling Yun breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, walked out of the gate of Yan Jing Palace, and headed straight for the front yard.

He wanted to go see Chuntao. After all, she was the princess's person. He always felt that as long as Chuntao was in the mansion, the princess would come back sooner or later.

……

Prince's Mansion

The ghost appeared as promised. He stood in front of Leng Yicheng and said with a cold expression:

"I told you last time, stop it, please show some mercy, Your Highness."

"I remember what I said last time. As long as you kill Leng Yiyan, you can retire from evil. Now that Princess Yan is not in the Yan Palace, it is a good time for you to make your move."

"Your Highness, please find another job!"

"Humph!"

Leng Yicheng suddenly waved his hands impatiently.

"Ghost Shadow, don't think that I won't be able to find you just because you disguise yourself as a butcher and hide in the capital. Don't think that I won't know that you are planning to take your two wives away from the capital. Your every move is under my eyes."

"you……"

The ghost clenched his fists angrily.

"So it was you who did all this? Are those officials who stopped us also your men?"

"Hahaha!"

Leng Yicheng looked up to the sky and laughed.

"You're smart. You want to take two pregnant women out of the capital safely? Dream on! Unless you kill Leng Yiyan, this prince can help you leave."

The ghost's face turned extremely ugly at this moment, but what Leng Yicheng said was true. Even if he was good at martial arts, he could not guarantee that he would leave the capital with his two pregnant wives and concubines. How easy would that be?

It seems that his every move is under the control of Leng Yicheng. If he doesn't kill Leng Yiyan, he will have no peaceful life.

Thinking of this, he looked at Leng Yicheng seriously.

"Okay, I hope the prince will keep his word. As long as I kill Leng Yiyan, you will send me out of the capital, and the name of Guiying will disappear from the world of martial arts."

Seeing that he agreed, Leng Yicheng's mouth corners slightly raised and he nodded proudly.

"Of course, what this prince says counts. We have a deal."

The ghost secretly clenched his fists, turned around, swung his clothes, and left quickly.

As night fell, Prince Yan's mansion became unusually quiet. From time to time, a team of patrolling guards would pass by in the yard, and then peace would return to normal.

The guards guarding outside Prince Yan's Mansion stood there like Buddha statues, motionless. At this time, even a fly would find it difficult to fly into Prince Yan's Mansion.

Just at this moment, a black shadow flashed across the sky and without alarming anyone, flew directly to the roof opposite Yan Jing Palace.

Through the moonlight, the scar on his forehead was clearly visible, and there was murderous intent in his eyes.

In tonight's operation, he can only succeed, not fail.

He wanted to retire from the underworld, leave the capital with his wife and children, and find another place to live.

But Leng Yicheng had already known his whereabouts. How could it be easy for him to leave safely?

The only way for him to leave the capital safely is to kill Leng Yiyan. He has no way out.

Thinking of this, he grabbed a cat running across the roof and threw it down. The cat's miserable cry immediately attracted Su Yi and Jiang Hai who were guarding the door.

Just as they ran over to check, the ghost shadow rushed down from the roof at the speed of an arrow and headed straight for Leng Yiyan's room.

Su Yi and Jiang Hai seemed to have known this scene for a long time. After looking at each other, they tiptoed towards the door of the prince's room.

After the ghost came to Leng Yiyan's room, he tiptoed into the inner room...

He was feeling lucky that his trip went smoothly. He only needed to take two more steps forward and stab the sword in Leng Yiyan's chest. Then he could live like a normal person from then on. Thinking about it, he felt that this trip was worth it.

There was hatred between his brows and evil flashed in his eyes.
