The daughter of the emperor is beautiful and holds the power over the world

On a cold winter afternoon, the sunlight reaches its peak and then gradually fades away.

Le Ning and her maid Luo Xue followed the shopkeeper's instructions and came to a block where officials' residences were concentrated.

The road was not long, but the two men encountered many patrolling guards.

"Miss, this is the Situ Mansion."

The maid Luoxue turned around and saw a tall door lintel with a gold-plated plaque with the three words "Situ Mansion" particularly dazzling.

Le Ning turned around and stared at the gate of Situ Mansion. Is this where the woman that Prince Yan likes lives?

The doorman of Situ Mansion saw two people outside the door and was wondering whether he should go up and ask about the situation since he had never seen these two people before.

Just then, a team of patrolling guards passed by the gate of Situ Mansion.

Le Ning and Luo Xue quickly retreated to the side of the road, making way. They thought that just like before, the guards would just glance at them and leave.

Unexpectedly, the patrolling guards stopped immediately when they saw them.

The leader glanced over sharply and asked in a stern voice, "What are you two doing here?"

General Ling has instructed that patrols must be stepped up at the gate of Situ Mansion, and any suspicious areas found must be thoroughly investigated.

Seeing the officers and soldiers approaching, Le Ning spoke calmly, "Sir, we are distant relatives of the Situ Mansion, and we have come to seek refuge with Lord Situ."

Ling Mohan, who had originally had no reaction, couldn't help but walk forward when he heard this.

He glanced at Le Ning and the girl beside her: "A distant relative of Lord Situ?"

Hearing this low and cold voice, Le Ning couldn't help but raise her eyes slightly and glance at the tall man.

This was a very young general with a handsome face and looked very calm. He was wearing a brocade official robe made by Emperor Xuantong, holding a sword in his hand, and exuded an imposing noble air.

Although Le Ning had never been to Beijing, she grew up in Yanjing City. As soon as she saw the man's temperament, she knew that he was of high status.

Seeing the black-clad woman sizing up General Ling, Ling Mohan's guard scolded, "General, are you mute?"

Le Ning lowered her head and quickly replied, "Your Excellency, we are here at the Situ Mansion looking for someone."

"Who are you looking for?" Ling Mohan's cold voice echoed in the cold current of deep winter.

Le Ning looked at the snow at her toes, and a bad feeling welled up in her heart: "Looking for my cousin, Lord Situ."

"Oh? Lord Situ is your cousin?" Ling Mohan stared coldly at the woman in black in front of him, his eyes darkening.

Le Ning did not answer but asked, "General, do you know Lord Situ?"

She thought that if she mentioned that she was a relative of Lord Situ, these people would leave quickly, but unexpectedly, it attracted the man's attention instead.

It seems that this patrolling general has a close relationship with the Situ Mansion.

Ling Mohan's voice was soft and cold: "It's more than just knowing each other. This Situ Mansion is my home."

Le Ning's heart sank, remembering that Situ's daughter had a brother, Si Qingshan. Could it be that this general was Si Qingshan?

Le Ning was just thinking about how to escape when she heard Ling Mohan's command: "Catch him."

"Why are you arresting people, sir?" Le Ning frowned and stared at Ling Mohan vigilantly.

Ling Mohan said coldly: "Master Situ would not have any distant relatives from Yan State."

"I'm from Daxuan."

"A person from Daxuan with a Yanjing accent?"

Le Ning was slightly taken aback, then answered with a stiff upper lip: "I lived in Yanjing City for a few years, so my accent might have been affected..."

"Why don't you take action?" Ling Mohan glanced at the guards of Zuowei Mansion and gave an order.

Seeing that this man was not easy to deceive, Le Ning immediately drew a soft sword from her waist and rushed towards Ling Mohan.

Her maid Luoxue was also a martial artist. She also drew out a soft sword and walked towards her young lady.

Seeing the two women draw their swords against Ling Mohan, the guards of Zuowei Mansion all drew their swords.

Ling Mohan stared at the woman who was rushing towards him with a cold expression. He knew that there was something wrong with the identities of these two people.

Daxuan and Yan State were on good terms, and Ling Mohan met many people who came from Yanjing to Shangjing to do business when he was inspecting Shangjing.

The two men spoke poor Shangjing dialect, but with an accent from Yanjing City, and it was obvious that they were from Yan State.

The soft sword in Le Ning's hand whizzed past in front of him, and Ling Mohan waved his sword to block it. The two fought, and Ling Mohan found that this woman had some skills.

It is said that every woman in Yanjing City can ride a war horse and learn martial arts. The rumors are indeed true.

Le Ning did not want to get entangled with Ling Mohan and just wanted to find a chance to escape. However, this man was such a martial arts master that she could not find any chance to escape at all.

Luoxue was entangled by the guards and was in a panic and unable to resist.

After more than ten rounds, Ling Mohan figured out Le Ning's moves and snatched the soft sword from her hand with one sword.

With a "clang", the soft sword fell to the ground, and a cold and heavy sword was placed across Le Ning's neck.

"Miss!" Luoxue shouted, and she was also captured by the guards of Zuowei Mansion.

Ling Mohan glanced at Le Ning coldly: "Tie him up and put him in the Zuowei Mansion jail."

At this moment, a very subtle "whoosh" sound was heard. When Ling Mohan came to his senses, a silver needle hidden weapon pierced into his arm.

Le Ning's voice rang out in his ears: "General, you have been poisoned by my hidden weapon. If you don't have an antidote, you will die within three days."

Ling Mohan stared at the woman in front of him and pulled out the silver needle expressionlessly: "Catch her."

The guards stepped forward and twisted Le Ning's arms. Le Ning struggled to look at Ling Mohan: "General, I have no intention of harming your life. I am only protecting myself. If you feel any pain in your body, come to me anytime..."

Ling Mohan's tone darkened: "There's no need to look for you, the genius doctor Yunya is in Shangjing."

Le Ning suddenly stopped talking.

Just then, a carriage stopped at the gate of Situ Mansion, and Si Yan and Yan Longyi, who had been waiting in the carriage, got off the carriage together.

Le Ning glanced over and saw a woman getting off the carriage. She had fair skin and a stunning appearance.

Is this the woman that the King of Yan likes? Is it her? Is it Si Yan?

"Why don't you take him away quickly?"

At Ling Mohan's command, the guards quickly took Le Ning and Luo Xue away.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Luo Xue suddenly shouted in the direction of Yan Longyi, "Help, Prince..."

"Shut up!" Le Ning stared at Luoxue coldly. Luoxue's face was full of confusion, but she still kept quiet.

Le Ning turned her head away, not wanting Yan Longyi to see her. Even if she died, she would never let King Yan see her in such a miserable state.

Le Ning's voice came from behind Ling Mohan: "General Si, the genius doctor Yunya may not be able to cure this poison. It's safer to ask me for help."

Ling Mohan's mouth twitched. This woman thought he was Qingshan...

Ling Mohan lifted his sleeve and saw a red dot on his arm. Si Yan came over and asked, "What happened?"

"Nothing." Ling Mohan replied lightly, his eyes falling on Yan Longyi.

Is this the man who stole his Ah Yan?
