Just as he looked over with anticipation, the smile on his lips suddenly froze.

The next second, the woman on the bed was thrown off the bed by him.

"why you!?"

The maid had been awakened by the pain of the fall. She looked at the furious man in front of her with tears in her eyes, and the dizziness in her head disappeared in an instant.

"Your Highness! I don't know either... I came in to bring some food to the young lady, and for some reason, I suddenly fainted. When I woke up, I looked like this!"

Ying Chi had never been as emotionally unstable as he was tonight. Having been teased twice before, he felt that his dignity was being challenged like a joke.

The feminine peach blossom eyes were now filled with anger. He closed his eyes and then slightly opened his thin lips.

"Get out."

"Yes……"

The maidservant used both her hands and feet to get up from the ground, fearing that if she was a step slower, the man would change his mind.

After calming down for a moment, Ying Chi realized that all the things that happened today were strangely coincidental.

A faint smile escaped his thin lips. If it was really as he guessed, then this woman who had first toyed with him in the palm of her hand definitely deserved to die...

"Someone, bring that madam here."

……

"Ouch!"

The madam was thrown in without mercy and lay on the ground in a mess.

Feeling the tense atmosphere in the tent, she raised her head and looked at Ying Chi in horror.

"Your Highness...what's going on?"

The madam smiled flatteringly, her eyes full of scrutiny.

That shouldn't be the case. That girl is also very beautiful after taking off the mask. No man would refuse her looks.

Besides, didn’t she bewitch the Crown Prince to the point of being dizzy? Then why does he have this expression now?

Is she not a virgin? Is that why the Crown Prince finds her unclean...?

Thinking about this, the madam felt that this was the most likely scenario.

"Your Highness, where is Li'er? Shouldn't she be accompanying you..."

Hearing the voice, Ying Chi smiled nonchalantly, but the look he gave the madam became even colder.

"I should be asking you about this. Where is she?"

The madam never thought that Jiang Li would be so bold as to escape from the Crown Prince's bed.

Does she even realize how great an honor this is?! Others can't even climb the pole, but she can just run!

"How could this happen... Your Highness, please forgive me! It's all because of that damn girl who was born into a blessed life and didn't know how to appreciate it, that she offended Your Highness!"

"When I catch her, I'll definitely give her a good beating, or else I'll send her to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be taught a lesson!"

The madam was so frightened that she kowtowed immediately. She didn't want to lose her life because of Jiang Li's involvement.

"There are many girls here today! There must be some prettier than that damn girl. How about... Your Highness, choose another one?"

When the madam said the last sentence, her tone was noticeably weaker, with a hint of cautious exploration.

But she just knelt there and didn't dare to look up, so she couldn't see Ying Chi's expression.

"Ah."

After waiting for a long time, the man finally snorted.

This sound made the madam's heart completely chilled and her back tensed up.

"Who do you think I am? Can I eat anything?"

"Your Highness, forgive me!"

Ying Chi leaned back lazily on the chair, crossed her long legs, and there was no trace of pity in her beautiful eyes.

"If you want me to forgive you, then you must answer me truthfully from now on."

"Yes, I will tell you everything I know!"

The madam was so nervous that she was sweating coldly. The rumors from outsiders were indeed true.

The Crown Prince of Southern Xinjiang is indeed a ruthless and cruel tyrant! Whenever he encounters something that displeases him, he will kill people to put out the fire!

"When did Li'er come to your place?"

As soon as the man finished speaking, the madam's heart skipped a beat.

How could she know when Li Er came? There were so many girls in Chun Man Lou, how could she know them all except for a few top ones!?

Ying Chi narrowed his eyes, then suddenly opened his lips softly.

"Don't even think about deceiving me. If I find out you're lying, I won't even leave you with a complete corpse."

The madam was about to spit out a date when her tongue suddenly turned and she stopped talking.

“…I don’t know.”

Ying Chi was not surprised by this answer. Instead, he raised his hand to support his chin and changed the question.

"Then why did you choose her to come here today?"

The madam's hands were already deeply embedded in her clothes, and her whole body was shaking like chaff.

"I just randomly recruited a few girls, and didn't choose her deliberately..."

Ying Chi's expression remained unchanged, but there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes as he looked at the madam.

"How many times have you seen her in Chun Man Lou?"

"I have no impression..."

The madam could no longer hold back her tears, and her face, which was covered with rouge and powder, was covered with wrinkles from her tears, which looked a little scary.

"Your Highness, please forgive me! Li'er must be the new girl at Zui Man Lou, that's why I don't remember her!"

"You know nothing. Are you deliberately playing tricks on me, Your Highness?"

Ying Chi raised his voice, his eyes filled with bloodthirsty murderous intent.

Since nothing can be learned from him, it would be better to kill him, which would just be a good way to calm his anger.

Before the man could make a move, the madam fainted from fright when she saw him draw his sword. At this moment, the tent curtain was suddenly pulled open.

"Your Highness! I found someone in the palace! She seems to have fainted!"

The guard was so immersed in the joy of discovering the clue that he didn't notice Ying Chi's gloomy expression.

If the person in the toilet was the arsonist, then he would have done a great deed!

"He really doesn't understand the rules at all. Come, drag him away and give him twenty lashes."

The guard didn't dare to beg for mercy when he was dragged out. After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in a bad mood today, and he was afraid that begging for mercy would make things worse for him.

Under Ying Chi's order, the unconscious woman was dragged in by the guards and lay down next to the madam.

The man gave him a cursory look and then asked the imperial physician to take a look.

"She has a weak spleen, caught a cold, and the travel fatigue has caused her to have diarrhea."

"I fainted because I was exhausted and dehydrated."

Upon hearing this, Ying Chi frowned slightly, looking a little disgusted.

He had someone pour a basin of water on the madam, and after a gasp, she climbed up trembling.

After all, it is the coldest time of the year. No matter how warm the tent is, it cannot withstand a basin of ice water poured over your head.

Ying Chi didn't give her time to react. He directly asked someone to force her to kneel on the ground, grabbed the back of her neck and moved closer to the woman's face.

"Look carefully, do you recognize this person?"

The madam was shivering from the cold, and her mouth had completely lost all color.

She didn't dare to struggle, and could only suppress her trembling hands to lift the woman's long hair that was covering her face.

Suddenly, her pupils dilated and she raised her voice excitedly.

"She's from our Zui Man Lou! But I only brought twelve people out today... Including this one in the tent, there are exactly twelve people!"

The woman begged for mercy as she crawled towards Yingchi, her eyes filled with fear.

So that Li'er was not one of them in Zuimanlou at all!

Oh, my Lord, I almost died unjustly!
