The carefree sixth prince, my father respectfully invites me to ascend the throne.

These two people were arranged by the Emperor to protect him, and they were responsible for secretly protecting his safety every day.

But they never appeared, and he never encountered any danger.

All of this was done by her father.

Because of her mother's status as a concubine, her father doted on her.

She was the only daughter, so even though her father did not make her the crown prince, she still enjoyed a life of luxury and wealth.

But now her father has sent people to stop her.

This made her very angry.

"Get out of my way! I'm going to teach this damned guy a lesson today!" Murong Xue glared coldly at her guards.

"Your Highness, please forgive me for being unable to grant your request."

The two men in black robes had no expression on their faces, as if they hadn't heard Murong Xue's words.

"Fine, you won't move aside? Then I'll go myself. I want to see just how strong he is!" Murong Xue said coldly, her face icy.

“In that case, I will accompany the princess.” One of the men in black robes said calmly, then his body flashed slightly, directly blocking Murong Xue’s path.

"You bastard, get out of my way!" Murong Xue shouted angrily at the man in black robes.

"Your Highness, please forgive me for being unable to comply," the man in black said calmly. Although his tone was very polite, it left no room for doubt.

"You..." Murong Xue was furious and embarrassed.

"I'll count to three. If you still don't move aside, then don't blame me for being rude."

Murong Xue said fiercely. She was completely enraged. These people dared to disregard her so much. She had to teach them a lesson.

"One...two..."

Just as Murong Xue was about to shout "three", the man in black robes finally couldn't help but speak up: "Your Highness, please don't forget His Majesty's instructions. If you insist on going, then we will have no choice but to offend you."

"you dare!"

Murong Xue snorted coldly, then swung her fist and smashed it into the black-robed man's chest.

boom!

The man in black robes trembled slightly, and then his face turned pale instantly.

"You...you actually attacked me from behind..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp pain spread from his chest throughout his body.

"Pfft."

The man in black robes spat out a mouthful of blood, swayed a few times, and then fell straight to the ground.

The other man in black robes paused for a moment, then quickly reached out to support the first man in black robes, and said anxiously, "Big brother!"

The man in black robes struggled to open his eyes, then looked at the other man in black robes and weakly said, "Go...go quickly...!"

He fainted as soon as he finished speaking.

"Big Brother!!"

The man in black knelt on the ground, his face streaked with tears, and cried out.

Yang Ling watched this scene, her lips twitched slightly, and then she said, "Carry them inside."

Upon hearing Yang Ling's words, Murong Xue slowly stood up, looked at Yang Ling, and said, "This matter is not over!"

"Anytime."

Yang Ling sneered and then left.

Seeing this, Murong Xue could only stomp her foot and then follow Yang Ling inside.

"Young Master Yang!"

Upon seeing Yang Ling enter, the man hurriedly went to greet her.

"Yes." Yang Ling nodded gently, then looked at the man and asked, "How did it go?"

"I've found out that the person was indeed sent to Lingshan Temple, but you'll have to find out exactly where."

Lingshan Temple?

Yang Ling narrowed her eyes slightly, then said calmly, "I understand."

"You all should retreat first!"

Yang Ling said it casually.

"Yes."

The surrounding guards and maids all spoke respectfully.

After everyone had left, the man looked at Yang Ling and said, "Brother Yang, when do you plan to make your move?"

"Tomorrow night, I'll let you know then," Yang Ling said after thinking for a moment.

"Okay, good." A hint of joy appeared on the man's face.

"Go and rest first," Yang Ling said calmly.

Upon hearing this, the man left immediately.

After returning to his room, Yang Ling took out paper and pen, wrote a letter, and handed it to a guard outside the door.

"Deliver this letter to Zhao Family Village in the north of the city."

"Yes!" the guard said respectfully, and then left.

Yang Ling's eyes flickered slightly, then she murmured, "I hope Uncle Zhao will receive it!"

……

The night was pitch black, the moon was hidden behind the clouds, and the stars were scattered in the sky, appearing exceptionally bright.

Yang Ling sat quietly on the bed, his eyes slightly closed, as if he were asleep. His figure appeared very graceful under the bright moonlight.

"Squeak."

Suddenly, there was a slight sound at the window, and then a dark figure flew in at an extremely fast speed.

"Brother Yang, be careful!" a low shout suddenly rang out.

"boom!"

However, before he could finish speaking, he felt a tremendous force in his throat.

Immediately afterwards, he felt his body sink, and then he lost all consciousness.

Yang Ling shifted her body slightly to dodge the attack, then said calmly, "So you really did come."

"Hehehe, Yang Ling, you're quick-witted."

A chilling voice rang out from the shadows.

Many people slowly emerged from around the house. These people were tall and exuded a strong murderous aura.

Yang Ling raised an eyebrow slightly, then said calmly, "Who are you?"

"Hehe, Yang Ling, do you really think we're fools?"

A sinister laugh rang out, and then an elderly man, who looked to be around fifty or sixty years old, slowly emerged from the shadows.

He was hunched over, with thick arms, dark skin, and a ferocious appearance.

"Oh? You know me?"

Yang Ling's eyes flickered slightly before she looked at the old man.

"Of course, I've been in the capital for quite a while."

"Who are you?" Yang Ling asked, frowning.

The old man's strength was unfathomable, and he was unwilling to fight him.

"Haha, Yang Ling, do you really not recognize me?" the old man laughed loudly, then said.

"do not know."

A cold glint flashed in Yang Ling's eyes. This old man was definitely not simple and was certainly up to no good.

He searched his mind desperately, trying to find any memories of the old man, but in the end, he found nothing.

"You are...?" A strange light flickered in Yang Ling's eyes, and then she said calmly.

"My name is Zhang Tianhe."

Zhang Tianhe narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly.

"It turns out to be you!"

A dangerous glint flashed in Yang Ling's eyes, and then he spoke calmly.
