Female lead: No, it's me again??

The night was quiet, and a strange sense of desolation crept into the wind.

Feng Siyue opened her eyes, her impatience barely concealed.

This time, even Yan Nanfei sensed the murderous intent hidden in the icy snow.

Many people have felt it.

"Ming Li! Bring me your head, Your Highness!!"

A sinister voice rang out from not far away, accompanied by the clanging of weapons and the thunder of horses, creating a powerful and imposing sound.

Su Qingfeng was the first to disembark from the carriage. Looking over, he saw a man in silver armor galloping towards him, followed by two hundred iron cavalry!

The man's bloodshot eyes scanned his surroundings.

Su Qingfeng looked at the person who came and stepped forward with a slight nod. "Your Highness, the person is not here with us."

"Not here?"

The man on the tall horse cracked his whip, his eyes red as he coldly shouted.

“Someone saw you, Su Qingfeng, with the man who killed my sister. My men died at the place where you stayed yesterday. Do you think I would still believe you?”

"If you don't hand over Mingli today, I'll massacre your Chasing Wind Auction House!!!"

With her beloved younger sister murdered, Su Shaohan couldn't be bothered to maintain any pretense anymore!

Bloodbath?

A cold glint flashed in Su Qingfeng's eyes. "I said no, and that's final! What, is Your Highness going to accuse us of harboring a murderer?"

It's abnormally fast.

Su Qingfeng's words enraged the man. "Fine, fine... Su Qingfeng, you insist on protecting her, then don't blame me for sacrificing your blood for my sister today!!"

"Do it!!"

Su Shaohan was about to strike with the golden spirit whip when he was stopped by the old eunuch who had rushed up behind him. "Your Highness, please reconsider!"

The old eunuch was dressed in a purple-red official robe and had the appearance of a shrewd and cunning man.

He whispered a warning.

"Your Highness, this is not the palace..."

If the attack were to take place here, it would be difficult to guarantee that Su Shaohan would return to the palace unscathed.

The appearance of this person pulled the man back from the brink of rage. Su Shaohan stared intently at Su Qingfeng, his eyes blazing with murderous intent, yet he could only suppress it.

"stop!"

Chasing Wind Auction House... Sooner or later, I will make you stepping stones on my path to dominating the imperial power!

The old eunuch calmed the man down before taking a step forward with a smile and speaking to Su Qingfeng, "Young Master, I have come today on a very important matter. A few days ago, the Third Princess was assassinated, and only the name Ming Li was found at the scene."

"His Majesty is furious and has ordered a thorough investigation. His Highness the Crown Prince is also eager for revenge. Please forgive him, Young Master."

Su Qingfeng gave a forced smile, "Eunuch Mo, you flatter us. The person you're looking for is indeed not with us."

The person before him was Su Shaohan's confidant, Mo Wen.

A sixth-level expert of the Spirit Sect!

"Does Young Master Su know Ming Li...?"

Su Qingfeng immediately replied, "I don't know."

The eunuch's face darkened. "I haven't asked yet."

"What's going on? Are you going to sleep or not?"

Suddenly, a woman's voice, full of complaints, rang out.

Everyone looked over and saw Lin Shan, dressed in red, yawning as she lifted the curtain of the white tent on the left. "Who's looking for Ming Li? Miss Ming, someone's looking for you..."

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was silent.

Zhu Liu, who hadn't spoken at first, was instantly startled. He quickly went to Lin Shan's side and said urgently,

"Lin Shan, what happened to you...?"

This girl has such a big mouth?

Half-asleep, Lin Shan seemed to sense something. She turned her gaze and met Su Shaohan's gloomy face. She was so frightened that her face turned pale!

"You mean, Mingli is here with you?"

Mo Gonggong's gaze was deep and unfathomable.

"Young Master, didn't you say you weren't here?"

Lin Shan seemed to realize he had made a mistake, and stammered an apology, "I'm sorry, I didn't know..."

"do not know?"

Eunuch Mo scoffed, "Young Master, you're treating His Majesty and this humble servant like monkeys."

It's like a pillow being delivered just when you're sleepy; there's a legitimate reason for it.

His face darkened.

"Guards, take them all back!"

"Yes!"

As countless soldiers approached, Zhu Liu was at a loss for words and could only hastily apologize to Su Qingfeng and Xie Zinan.

"I'm so sorry, Sister Xie, I've dragged you all into this..."

Xie Zinan had considered the possibility of being exposed one day, but she didn't expect it to come so soon. She shook her head and said, "It's not your fault."

How could news of the royal family arrive so quickly, given that Mingli and her companion joined halfway through their journey?

Lin Shan, however, was dissatisfied. "This whole thing started because of Ming Li. Why don't we just let her explain? Why are you apologizing?"

Zhu Liu was furious. "What explanation are you offering? What do you know about all this? Lin Shan, do you know that countless people will lose their lives because of what you said?!"

Although he knew she might not have meant it, he still couldn't help but get angry when he thought about the consequences of Mingli being exposed!

I'm angry at her for being so outspoken!

After tonight, no one will have peace.

Fu Xiang was displeased. She scolded the boy, "Speak properly, Zhu Liu, why are you being so fierce?"

Lin Shan pursed her lips unwillingly, twisting the handkerchief in her hand tightly.

"Zhu Liu, I didn't do it on purpose. There's nothing wrong with it! It's just a coincidence of names. Whether she's the murderer or not, Prince Xuejing will know with a simple examination!"

"you....."

Zhu Liu stared at her in disbelief, speechless, because he didn't know if Miss Ming was the murderer.

What Lin Shan said makes sense.

The problem is that this is no longer as simple as assassinating the Third Princess; it involves the safety of Sister Xie's family!

Zhu Liu suddenly felt powerless.

What should I do?

Lin Shan blinked, still feigning innocence, "It's just to verify, they won't kill indiscriminately."

Fu Xiang nodded.

"Yeah, Zhu Liu, stop worrying about things you shouldn't."

The boy was speechless for a moment.

"you....."

Before he could finish speaking, a deep female voice interrupted him, "You say I killed the Third Princess? Where's the evidence?"

A slightly cool voice came from afar. The old eunuch looked in the direction of the voice and saw two people standing on the treetops ten meters away.

She was shrouded in a black robe and her figure suggested she was a woman.

The old eunuch narrowed his eyes, his voice turning cold, "You are Ming Li? Whether you are or not, you'll find out once you come with me."

The sharp sound is very uncomfortable for people's ears.

Feng Siyue chuckled lightly, "Once we enter your palace, do we think we'll ever come out alive?"

Yan Nanfei noticed that his master's smile didn't reach his eyes, and silently lit a candle for him in his heart.

The other party scoffed.

“You have no right to make excuses without evidence.”

"take away!"

"Let's see who dares!"

Yan Nanfei stood in front of Feng Siyue, his gaze toward the old eunuch and his entourage extremely cold.

The old eunuch sneered, "A mere child dares to defy the royal family?!"

He gathered spiritual energy in his hands and reached out to grab the two of them.

Feng Siyue calmly pulled Yan Nanfei behind her, saying, "You're no match for him, step back."
