Gu Yan'an sped all the way and went straight to Prince Ling's Mansion.

The guards of Prince Ling's mansion wanted to stop him, but he kicked them to the ground. He was dressed in dark blue brocade clothes, his facial features were sharp and evil, and he was filled with murderous intent, making people afraid to approach him.

"Let Mu Ling come out." He stood in the courtyard of Prince Ling's mansion, lowered his head and didn't look at anyone, his voice cold and low.

"How dare you! Who are you? Do you know where this is? This is Prince Ling's Mansion, how can you act recklessly!" The housekeeper of Prince Ling's Mansion did not recognize Gu Yan'an and shouted.

In the study, Mu Ling had just returned home. He didn't expect that what happened today would be witnessed by the killing god Gu Yan'an. The Beiyang Palace was powerful, and his father doted on Gu Yan'an very much. No one in the court dared to offend him. He didn't dare to speak out and could only return home first in the hope of avoiding Gu Yan'an.

Gu Yan'an kicked and punched him with full force, causing severe pain in his abdomen and swelling on half of his face. Chen Ruofu, who was hidden in the mansion by him, heard that he was injured and rushed over with a medicine box. When Gu Yan'an arrived, she had just applied medicine to him.

After leaving the Su family's manor, she had been living in Prince Ling's Mansion. There was no princess in Prince Ling's Mansion. Chen Ruofu was very beautiful and good at making Mu Ling happy. She also held what she thought were the secrets of the Su family. Therefore, Mu Ling always responded to her requests and doted on her. She lived an even more comfortable life than in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

"How on earth did Gu Yan'an show up? I missed such a good opportunity in vain." Chen Ruofu was furious. The damn Su Jingning actually let her escape.

Mu Ling sat upright on the chair, closing his eyes and not saying a word. Seeing this, Chen Ruofu smiled slightly and walked to Mu Ling, squatting down, holding Mu Ling's hand with her slender little hand.

"With Ruofu here, Your Majesty does not have to worry. I will help you. Now that we have the leverage over the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, it is only a matter of time before we convince them to serve Your Majesty." She comforted him softly.

Looking at the considerate and gentle Chen Ruofu, he reached out and pulled her into his arms. With her in his arms, all his worries faded.

Suddenly, a cold and low voice and the housekeeper's scolding came from outside, and Mu Ling suddenly became clear-headed.

Gu Yan'an! How dare he come to Prince Ling's Mansion! Too arrogant.

"Your Highness, who is it?" Chen Ruofu also heard the voice outside and asked in confusion.

Mu Ling stood up and wanted to go out to take a look, but the door of the study was kicked open. Seeing Gu Yan'an standing at the door with a murderous look on his face, Mu Ling felt a chill in his heart and was involuntarily terrified. He gently asked Chen Ruofu to go out first.

"Your Highness, you..." There was some worry in Chen Ruofu's eyes, but she still obediently left the study.

He shouted at Gu Yan'an in a cold voice: "Gu Yan'an, do you know what crime it is to trespass into the royal residence?"

Gu Yan'an didn't say anything. He glanced coldly at Mu Ling who looked alert, then turned around and closed the study door.

Only Gu Yan'an and Mu Ling were left in the room. Gu Yan'an had been fighting on the battlefield for many years and had an iron-blooded aura that Mu Ling did not have. He walked towards Mu Ling step by step, pressing Mu Ling to the point of suffocation.

"Gu Yan'an! What do you want to do?"

Mu Ling looked nervous and his voice was trembling.

"Someone come! Someone come quickly."

Gu Yan'an's face turned grim, and he used his hand as a knife and slashed at him fiercely. Mu Ling put out his hand to block and quickly rolled out to avoid Gu Yan'an's attack.

Mu Ling's kung fu is considered top-notch among all the princes, but he has no chance of winning against Gu Yan'an.

"Gu Yan'an, you're crazy!" Mu Ling couldn't understand why Gu Yan'an suddenly attacked him so cruelly, trying to take his life with every move.

Gu Yan'an didn't reply to him, but his movements became more fierce, making Mu Ling unable to dodge and fell to the ground.

Gu Yan'an's bony hands tightly grasped Mu Ling's neck. Mu Ling was unable to breathe, and veins popped out on his forehead. His face was blue and purple, and he was dying. He saw the murderous intent in Gu Yan'an's eyes, and he was terrified. He felt that Gu Yan'an really dared to kill him.

Just when Mu Ling felt he was about to die, he suddenly let go of his hand, his eyes frighteningly cold.

"Which hand did you touch her with?" His voice was low and hoarse, with a strong sense of oppression.

"Oh, it seems you touched both hands." The corners of his mouth curled slightly, and the blood-red teardrop mole at the corner of his eye made him look particularly evil and terrifying. He looked at Mu Ling with eyes as cold as if he was looking at a dead person, and his white and slender hand slowly moved towards Mu Ling's arm.

"what--"

The man's screams of fear and pain echoed throughout Prince Ling's mansion and were particularly creepy in the dark night.

The people outside the study were waiting anxiously. When they heard the fighting inside, they wanted to break in, but seeing the two cold-faced guards who appeared at the door of the study without blinking an eye and killing without blinking an eye, and seeing the knives in their arms, no one dared to step forward.

Finally, the study door was opened, and the murderous man came out, with wailing sounds coming from behind him. Chen Ruofu looked at the man who looked like a demon. As a woman, she had to admit that this man was the most handsome man she had ever seen. Compared with Prince Ling, there was a world of difference between him and her.

He was Gu Yan'an, the prince of Beiyang Palace. As she watched the man walk away, Chen Ruofu remembered Prince Ling who was wailing in the room, and she quickly ran to the study.

In the study, Mu Ling's face was terribly pale, and he was sweating and leaning against the table, looking miserable and embarrassed. His hands hung strangely at his sides. Chen Ruofu was startled.

"Prince! Prince, what's wrong with you?" She stumbled towards Mu Ling.

"Hand..." Mu Ling said weakly.

Chen Ruofu hurriedly pulled up his sleeve, wanting to help him take a look, but was frightened.

Gu Yan'an had separated Mu Ling's hands starting from the arm joints, elbow joints, and wrist joints. At this time, his hands were bent in a strange arc, hanging limply on both sides of his body.

"Doctor! Housekeeper, go find a doctor!" Chen Ruofu quickly ordered the housekeeper to call the doctor. She also asked someone to carry Mu Ling to the bed.

But she didn't know that as soon as Gu Yan'an left Prince Ling's Mansion, he sent people to summon all the doctors near Prince Ling's Mansion to go to the Imperial Camp in the suburbs of Beijing to check the health of the soldiers. If Mu Ling wanted to find a doctor, she would have to wait until tomorrow.

In the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, Su Jingning slept until noon the next day before he woke up slowly.

"Miss, you are awake."

Su Jingning had a splitting headache and his mind was still a little unclear. He covered his head, lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

Yun Ya went forward to help her up and poured her a cup of sobering soup that she had prepared long ago.

"The young lady accidentally drank the fruit wine at the palace banquet yesterday. When she came back last night, she was drunk and unconscious. She was carried back by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Su Jingning had a severe headache, so she took the hangover soup and gulped it down. Thinking of Mu Ling's ugly face last night, she still felt sick and her heart was a little anxious. She took a deep breath and put down the cup in her hand. She shook her head. She seemed to see Gu Yan'an later last night, but she couldn't remember what happened afterwards.

When I put down the cup, I suddenly saw the crystal clear white jade Buddha necklace on my wrist.

Su Jingning's beautiful and lively eyes widened instantly. She thought she was seeing things and began to doubt herself.

"Yun Ya...what is this?" She pointed at the Buddhist necklace on her wrist, her expression a little dazed.

"Oh, you've been wearing it since you came back yesterday. I don't know whose it is. I wanted to take it off for you, but you said you wouldn't let me take it off or touch it. Miss, whose Buddha necklace is this?" Yun Ya was tidying up the newly inserted peach blossoms in the room. When she heard Su Jingning asking, she asked casually.

If she turned around, she would see the stiff expression on Su Jingning's fair little face.

Who can tell her why Gu Yanan's bracelet is on her hand? ! What did she do last night?

"Yun Ya, what do I look like when I'm drunk?" Su Jingning asked guiltily.

Yun Ya stopped what she was doing: "Miss, you can't drink alcohol. You'll get drunk if you do. I only remember that the last time you got drunk was in Yucheng. You accidentally drank the flower wine prepared by Miss Ye and got drunk for two days."

Su Jingning's face turned even worse when she heard this. She already knew what she looked like when she was drunk. She accidentally drank the wine brewed by Senior Sister Ye Ling. Because of that drunkenness, Mo Linyuan's brothers and sisters still make jokes about her. Later, even the master knew about it and ordered Senior Sister Ye Ling to hide her wine in the future and not let him see it...

She looked at the Buddhist beads in her hand and felt her head hurt even more. How should she return the beads to Gu Yan'an? I heard that the beads were very important to him and he never left them.
