The regent is determined to get the daughter of a minor official.

In Princess Jianning's mansion.

Princess Jianning looked at Shen Qingfeng, who was putting on the servant's clothes, with a satisfied look on her face.

"Shen Xiuzhuan, don't be in such a hurry to leave. Come and have a chat with me."

Shen Qingfeng lowered his head, a hint of annoyance flashed in his eyes, then he forced a flattering smile and walked to Princess Jianning, stretching out his hands to massage her shoulders.

"What do you want to talk about, Princess?"

Princess Jianning seemed to be chatting lazily.

"I heard that you are about to marry Miss Xu Yuanyuan from the Xu family?"

Shen Qingfeng's hands kept moving. He knew that Princess Jianning had a strong possessiveness, but he had no intention of protecting Xu Yuanyuan.

"Princess, it is true."

Princess Jianning sneered.

"What is it about Miss Xu that makes you fall in love with her?"

Shen Qingfeng smiled apologetically.

"Princess, you're joking. I haven't even seen what Xuyuanyuan looks like, how could I fall in love with her?"

Princess Jianning was stunned when she heard this and asked in confusion.

"Oh? Then why did you marry her? I heard she's vicious and even pushed the Regent's fiancée, Xu Ke, down the stairs."

Shen Qingfeng thought for a moment and replied in a low voice.

"That's why I want to marry her. She has ruined my good marriage and prevented me from getting the permission of my beloved.

When she enters the Shen family, I will torture her every day to vent my hatred."

Princess Jianning sat up straight abruptly, turned around and looked directly at Shen Qingfeng.

"I think you are ungrateful. It is your blessing that I like you, but you told me that the person you love is Xu Ke Ke."

Shen Qingfeng knelt down with a plop and said in panic:

"Princess, please calm down. I have absolutely no disrespect towards you, but I dare not deceive you.

I have known Xu Keke since childhood. She injured her head while trying to block the falling door plaque for me. All these years, Xu Keke is the only one in my heart..."

Princess Jianning snorted coldly and interrupted him.

"Xu Keke, Xu Keke, what's so good about her? She's just a lowly woman with no manners or upbringing.

The Prince Regent wants to marry her, and even you can't stop thinking about her. I'm going to see if I can put an end to this evil trend."

As he said that, he kicked Shen Qingfeng on the leg.

"And you, don't think I can't do anything to you. If you serve me obediently, I will ensure you prosperity and wealth. If not, you'll be in trouble."

Shen Qingfeng broke out in a cold sweat after being kicked by her.

"Princess, please calm down. I will never mention Xu Ke in front of you again."

Princess Jianning shook her sleeves.

"Get lost, you hypocritical bastard."

Shen Qingfeng retreated in a hurry as if he had been pardoned.

After leaving the princess's mansion, his face was gloomy, and a sneer of success appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he was secretly calculating in his heart.

Princess Jianning had a very high opinion of herself and was difficult to get rid of.

He deliberately mentioned Xu Ke in front of the princess that she was his beloved, in order to arouse her jealousy.

Given Princess Jianning's self-centered personality, she would certainly be displeased with Xu Ke.

If she sent someone to cause trouble for Xu Ke, the Regent would definitely not let it go.

By then, if a rift arises between Princess Jianning and the Regent, he may have a chance to get rid of this troublesome princess.

As for whether Xu Ke would be harmed by Princess Jianning?

Shen Qingfeng was even more happy to see it happen. Since he couldn't get it, he might as well destroy it to save him from thinking about it all the time.

Shen Qingfeng thought that Princess Jianning would consider it for some time, and even would not have any ill will towards Xu Keke in order to maintain her sister-brother relationship with the Regent.

But his analysis was wrong. As soon as Shen Qingfeng left, Princess Jianning called her secret guards.

"Lingyun, arrange for someone to go to the residence of Xu Linyun, the chief academic officer of the Imperial College. I don't want to see that Xu Keke again."

The pupils of the secret guard Ling Yun suddenly shrank.

As a secret guard trained by the royal family, he naturally knew that Xu Ke, the daughter of the Imperial College's chief academic officer, was about to marry into the Regent's Palace.

But he had long been Princess Jianning's secret guard. Once a secret guard recognizes his master, he has no choice but to obey his master's orders, otherwise he will die.

Ling Yun bowed and said, "I obey your command."

After receiving the order, Ling Yun quickly began to arrange the assassination.

However, he couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

After all, provoking the Regent is no small matter.

What's more, if you walk by the river often, how can you not get your feet wet?

At the Xu Mansion, Xu Keke was unaware of the impending danger and was still enjoying good times with his family.

That night!

Ling Yun led the killers to sneak into Xu's house and head straight to the backyard of the Xu family.

It was late at night and the backyard of the Xu Mansion was quiet, with only the chirping of insects and the rustling of tree branches in the night wind.

An Liu hid in a big tree, his eyes surveying everything in the yard through the night.

Suddenly sensing some unusual air currents, An Liu was shocked.

He quickly jumped down from the treetops and appeared with a sword to intercept.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass into the Xu residence?"

An Liu shouted angrily.

female?

Ling Yun said nothing, but waved his sword and stabbed An Liu together with several other secret guards.

An Liu dodged sideways and started fighting with Ling Yun and the others.

The other killers took the opportunity to rush into Xu Keke's room.

In the night, the weapons shone with a cold light, mercilessly tearing through clothes and piercing the skin.

An Liu was outnumbered and unable to split himself, so he gradually fell into a disadvantage.

She was injured in many places, but still fought desperately.

"Someone, come and protect the young lady!"

An Liu was bleeding profusely, and seeing that she was no match for her opponent, she could only shout out loud.

While she was distracted, a secret guard took advantage of her unpreparedness and pierced An Liu's chest with a sword.

An Liu spat out blood, pressed his chest with his left hand, still gritting his teeth and resisting with his sword.

Fortunately, her call worked. The servants in the front yard heard the sound and ran to the backyard in their pajamas.

The maids and old women in the backyard also ran out one after another.

"what happen?"

"Quick, there's an assassin breaking in, protect the second young lady."

Xu Ke was awakened from his sleep by An Liu's voice, and then he heard the sound of endless fighting outside.

She turned over and got out of bed, feeling anxious.

Dingdang rushed into her room in a hurry and turned around to close the door.

"Miss, there's an assassin. Why don't you hide under the bed?"

"It's so narrow under the bed, there's no place to hide it. Ding, go and take out everything in the closet."

The master and servant were immediately in a panic, and only calmed down a little when they heard the calls of the maids and old women in the yard.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a masked guard in black broke in with a sword.

Dingdang suddenly became alert, opened her arms to protect Xu Keke behind her, and shouted.

"Someone come! Someone is trying to assassinate the young lady."

The servants, maids and old women outside were now entangled by other secret guards and could not get away for a while.

The second master and the second mistress also rushed to the backyard at this time, but were knocked unconscious by a secret guard before they could reach their daughter's room.

Dingdang's eyes suddenly turned red when she saw the man in black holding a long sword approaching step by step.

"Miss, Dingdang will go and tangle him up, but you have to take care of yourself!"

Dingdang said this and rushed towards the man in black with bare hands and hugged him.

"Miss, run away!"

Xu Ke was so frightened by this sudden incident that his legs and feet went weak. He saw Ding Dang fearlessly dragging the man in black.

Restraining his inner fear, Xu Keke turned around and staggered out to escape.

The man in black was furious and broke free from Dingdang, slashing at Dingdang's back with a sword.

Dingdang groaned, and blood instantly stained her clothes red, but she still held on tightly to the corner of the black-clad man's clothes.

"Miss, run, don't look back!"

Dingdang shouted with the last bit of strength she had.

Xu Keke was in tears. She didn't dare to look back. She ran forward desperately, shouting subconsciously.

"Chu Musheng, come and save me! If you don't come, I'm going to die."
