The princess returns strongly, and the divorced regent is busy chasing his wife

Guimei would rather die than reveal the girl's identity, which made Nangong Mingxuan very angry, and he ordered him to be imprisoned.

"Master, Brother Guimei has been taken to the dungeon. I wonder why you are still worried?"

Ever since Guimei was imprisoned, Nangong Mingxuan has been obviously absent-minded.

After leaving Fengqiyuan and returning to the study, he was in no mood to take care of court affairs, so he paced back and forth in the study.

Gu Ying hadn't seen his master so disturbed for many years.

"Guying, don't you think that the things that Guimei is hiding are very strange?"

"Master, what does this mean?"

"Tell me, what kind of old friend could make Gui Mei risk betraying Yi'er to save someone? What kind of old friend could make him so determined?"

"Tell me who can make Gui Mei defend her so unswervingly? Tell me who can make Gui Mei hide her identity even at the risk of being killed?"

"Master, are you suspicious?..."

"That's impossible. If that little girl is the princess, then the person who intercepted the prison van with the ghost is most likely the princess."

"Did the princess come to the imperial capital? Then why didn't she show up?" Bone Shadow asked suspiciously.

"It's very likely that he came here because he heard that Yi'er was injured. But why did he act separately from the little girl?"

"I almost made a big mistake and killed the little princess. Ling'er must hate me to death again."

"Master, don't blame yourself. This is just your guess. Maybe the little girl is just the daughter of an old friend of the ghost," said the bone shadow.

"The ghost has always been by Yi'er's side, following her on her expeditions. How could he have any old friends? The only possibility is that the princess has returned."

"Your Highness, if the ghost doesn't want to speak, there's nothing we can do," Bone Shadow helped analyze.

"The princess will definitely appear again, because Yi'er is injured, she will not just sit there and do nothing," Nangong Mingxuan guessed.

"Master, what do we need to prepare?"

"The ghost has been captured by this king. It is impossible for the princess to visit Yi'er without anyone noticing. This king guesses that with her personality, she might visit the Regent's Palace at night."

"Guying, go and tell the guards in the mansion to withdraw some of them, and relax the defense..."

"The master's intention is to give the princess an opportunity to take advantage of it."

"Well...you go and arrange it."

"Yes, I will make arrangements now."

Gu Ying left the study. It was already late at night, but the people in the study were not sleepy and were still speculating on their own ideas.

"Ling'er, are you back?"

the other side

Ouyang Miaoling took Ouyang Li back to the inn and returned to Ouyang Miaoling's room.

"Li'er, are you okay?"

"Mom, Li'er is fine," she said, then threw herself into Ouyang Miaoling's arms and burst into tears.

She was terribly scared. She didn't expect that when she first arrived in the imperial capital, there were no surprises, only shocks.

"Li'er, don't be afraid, don't be afraid," Ouyang Miaoling comforted Ouyang Li softly.

"Mother, Li'er wants to go back. Li'er will never come out again. Li'er is afraid..."

Ouyang Li was really scared this time. It was the first time in her life that she rebelled and ran away, and she almost lost her life. How could she not be scared?

"Li'er, listen to mother. You and your uncle Mo Ran will go back to Medicine King Valley tomorrow. I will go back after I finish my work in the imperial capital."

"Mother, Li'er won't go back. Li'er wants to be with you."

Ouyang Li was like a wounded deer, clinging to Ouyang Miaoling and not willing to let go for a long time.

Ouyang Miaoling considerately helped Ouyang Li bathe and wash her hair.

Looking at every scar on the child's body with heartache made her cry.

"Mother, why are you crying?"

"Mom is fine. I just feel bad for you when I see the injuries on your body."

"Mother, those people are so bad. I just wanted to save the God of War, but they said that I was in the same group with those assassins and beat me. They made me admit that I was in the same group with those people, and finally forced me to sign my name by hand. And that bastard regent personally ordered to kill me. Mother, I am so scared."

Ouyang Li cried as she spoke, tears falling continuously from her childish face like pearls from a broken string. She cried so sadly, so grief-stricken, so desperately, so helplessly, as if she had lost the whole world.

"Good Li'er, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, mother will definitely seek justice for you."

The woman was hatching a plan of revenge in her mind, and no one who bullied her daughter would have an easy life.

Late at night, Ouyang Miaoling comforted Ouyang Li, returned to her room, changed into a nightgown, put on a mask on her face, and flew towards the Regent's Palace.

Regent's House

Nangong Mingxuan returned to Zuimoxuan and lay on the bed with a melancholy look on his face, recalling every little detail between him and Ouyang Miaoling.

I tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

He put on a coat, walked to the window, and looked at the quiet night in the faint moonlight, his mind troubled.

"Could the person who cooperates with ghosts be 'you'?" Nangong Mingxuan asked himself over and over again in his heart.

The Regent's Palace is under tight security.

However, Ouyang Miaoling sneaked in quietly like a ghost.

She was wearing a black tights, and her eyes showed determination and resoluteness.

The guards of the palace noticed something was wrong and rushed forward.

Ouyang Miaoling dodged the attack nimbly by leaning sideways, and the dagger in his hand flew out like lightning, instantly piercing the throat of a guard.

She moved quickly and decisively, not giving the enemy any chance to breathe.

Seeing this, the guards became more alert. They surrounded Ouyang Miaoling and tried to trap her.

However, she shuttled through the crowd with a speed and skill that ordinary people could hardly imagine, wielding her dagger with a cold light flashing everywhere, and every move was accurate and correct.

The smell of blood filled the air, but there was no fear on Ouyang Miaoling's face.

She had only one belief in her heart - to avenge her daughter.

Under her fierce attack, the guards fell to the ground one after another.

Finally, the sound of fighting in the palace alarmed Nangong Mingxuan.

"What happened to Bone Shadow?"

"Your Highness, someone has broken into the palace without permission and injured everyone he saw. Many guards in our palace have already fallen. Master, don't worry, Wushang has already rushed over to stop them."

The sounds of fighting and screams outside continued to reach Nangong Mingxuan's ears.

He could no longer sit still, so he put on his clothes, picked up his sword, and headed towards the place where the fight was taking place.

Seeing that his master was about to go out for a fight, Gu Ying quickly chased after him.

Finally, Ouyang Miaoling knocked down all the guards who blocked her way and came to Nangong Mingxuan.

Nangong Mingxuan looked at her in front of him, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

The two men engaged in a life-and-death contest, with sword shadows intersecting and palm winds whistling.

Ouyang Miaoling's moves were fierce, but the Regent responded calmly.

For a moment, the palace was filled with powerful energy and tables and chairs flew around.

Nangong Mingxuan felt a sense of familiarity from her fierce moves, and looking at the figure in front of him, he felt a sense of intimacy.
