Shocking! Five men are in love with the same woman!

At this moment, it wasn't just her who understood.

The Eighth Princess also thought of it.

She glared angrily at the Fifth Princess, as if she wanted to burn a hole through her with her gaze.

Some of the clever ladies among them, after calming down, also realized this.

They also stared at the Fifth Princess with hostile eyes.

If you want to kill Princess Rui, then kill Princess Rui. Why drag them into this?

Wait!

She's definitely not going to get away with this.

It seems that Princess Rui is not someone who will let things go easily.

The Seventh Princess looked at Lingyan and gave her a knowing smile.

She had just witnessed her sister-in-law save Xie Zhiyi.

She used only a single silver needle, and from that great distance, she accurately pierced the assassin's heart, hitting him squarely.

Who can understand the shock she felt when she saw that scene!

Of course, everyone present was focused on Xie Zhiyi at the time.

He didn't even notice his sister-in-law.

She was the only one who looked towards her sister-in-law, because she knew that her sister-in-law must have someone protecting her in secret.

The others probably also believed that it was the Prince's secret guards who did it.

This technique cannot be mastered so skillfully without years of practice.

I never expected my sister-in-law to be so secretive.

She couldn't help but feel a sense of respect.

Seeing the Seventh Princess's gaze, Lingyan shook her head, signaling her not to make a fuss.

The seventh princess understood immediately and nodded to show that she complied.

This must be a secret weapon that my sister-in-law doesn't know about.

She wasn't the only one surprised by this scene; the hidden guards were equally shocked!

I never expected the princess to be so capable; she's truly amazing!

At this point, the battle was nearing its end.

All the assassins who came were lying lifeless on the ground.

The Fifth Princess's eyes were bloodshot!

how come?

How could so many skilled assassins be so easily dealt with by three little girls?

This is simply like a fantasy.

At this point, she realized what had happened.

She probably guessed her intentions long ago, which is why she made preparations in advance.

These two maids weren't maids at all; they were clearly secret guards.

She was furious, but she couldn't show it on her face.

I bit my lip tightly to prevent myself from making any sound.

Her nails dug deep into her flesh, but she felt no pain at all.

Because her heart aches even more.

The pain was like a sharp knife stabbing her heart, so painful that she almost vomited blood.

Lingyan glanced at the Fifth Princess with a half-smile.

He then ordered them to turn back and dock immediately.

Seeing that the danger had passed, many noble ladies sat on the ground and burst into tears, disregarding their image.

Some had never seen so many dead people before; they trembled with fear, their faces pale, and they feared they would have nightmares when they got back.

Some noble ladies, upon seeing so many corpses, felt their stomachs churn and couldn't help but go outside to vomit.

They were truly diverse in appearance and manner.

Only Lingyan seemed completely unaffected, sitting leisurely in her chair, even calmly and composedly enjoying the pastries.

After seeing her like this, everyone admired her to the extreme, and they were completely in awe of her.

You have to understand that those assassins were clearly after her today!

However, she did not show the slightest fear or anxiety.

On the contrary, he remained calm and composed throughout, without showing any discomfort or losing his composure.

Then look at themselves.

There's no comparison at all!

At that moment, they gained a clearer and more definite understanding of Princess Rui's character.

Of course, what also broadened their horizons today was the Ninth Princess.

How could she be so powerful, with such extraordinary martial arts skills?

Many people looked at her with admiration.

Lingyan looked at her with a smile and said, "Xiao Jiu, you must be tired from fighting! Sit down and have a cup of tea to rest."

The Ninth Princess laughed heartily and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm not tired at all. Today's battle was so exhilarating!"

Excitement gleamed in her eyes; she had indeed fought to her heart's content, and even seemed somewhat unsatisfied, as if she hadn't had enough of killing.

Lingyan said with a helpless expression, "Of course I know Xiao Jiu is very powerful. I will definitely let Xiao Jiu have a good fight next time. But for now, let me, as his sister-in-law, serve our savior first."

Upon hearing this, the Ninth Princess immediately sat down beside her happily.

Just then, Xie Zhiyi, the Seventh Princess, and the Eighth Princess all sat down beside her.

Lingyan gracefully poured a cup of tea for the Ninth Princess, then handed it to her with a smile and said softly, "Our hero has worked hard! I'd like to express my sincere gratitude to you with this tea instead of wine."

The Ninth Princess took the teacup, her face filled with joy yet tinged with uncertainty, and asked, "I'm a hero? But can I really be considered a hero?"

Ling Yan answered with unwavering determination: "Yes! Of course you are! You protected everyone on this ship and killed so many assassins. How could you not be a hero?"

Upon hearing this, the Ninth Princess quickly turned to look at the others.

She was pleasantly surprised to find that they were all nodding emphatically, their faces showing complete agreement.

The Ninth Princess jumped up with joy.

He exclaimed joyfully and with immense happiness, "Hahaha! No one has ever called me a hero before. I never expected so many people to praise me as a hero today. I'm so excited!"

Watching her run around happily and hearing her cheerful laughter, Lingyan was also infected by her joy and a happy smile appeared on her face.

The only two unhappy people present were the Fifth Princess and the Sixth Princess.

Seeing Lingyan laughing and chatting so cheerfully, seemingly unaffected, the two women were so angry they almost fainted.

But now that everyone is dead, she has no other choice but to find another opportunity to strike at her.

Little did she know, she wouldn't have another chance.

At this moment, Xie Zhiyi also looked at Ling Yan and bowed deeply to her, saying, "This humble woman thanks Princess Rui for saving my life just now. I have no way to repay your great kindness. If there is anything I can do to help you in the future, please feel free to give me your orders."

Lingyan helped her up and said with a smile, "Okay, I won't stand on ceremony with you."

Xie Zhiyi replied, "Please feel free to give any orders, Your Highness."

As the ship approached the shore, Lingyan deliberately said sarcastically, "I wonder who sent today's assassins. They're so useless, and the people who ordered them are equally brainless. After all, it's an assassination attempt on a royal princess, and they only sent these good-for-nothings. I wonder if the people behind them will be so angry they'll vomit blood!"

Xie Zhiyi and the three princesses were all trying not to laugh.

The clever noble ladies all looked at the Fifth Princess.

Looking into their eyes, the Fifth Princess realized that she had already been exposed to these people, and it was laughable that she thought she had hidden it well.

She felt that these people were definitely laughing at her in their hearts, laughing at her arrogance and ignorance.

She then experienced rapid breathing, her vision blurred, and overwhelmed by anger, she coughed up blood, successfully causing herself to faint from anger.

Lingyan remained silent.

How can someone be so mentally unstable that they would hire someone to commit murder?

The maid behind him immediately scrambled to support him, extremely anxious.

The noble ladies were so frightened that their faces turned pale.

His expression was one of extreme panic.

At this moment, the henchman, the Sixth Princess, was also extremely anxious. She immediately looked at everyone in a condescending manner and said, "Do any of you know medicine? Hurry up and take a look at the Fifth Princess."

Everyone shook their heads and stepped back.

Are you kidding? They're from noble families, how could they possibly know anything about medicine?

Even if they understood, they wouldn't step forward.

I'm afraid of getting into trouble.

The sixth princess watched them retreat and scolded, "Useless!"

Then he hurriedly went to pinch the philtrum.

The only person on the ship who knew medicine was currently thinking about how to deal with the Fifth Princess.

After all, even if this matter were to reach Emperor Jingzhao's ears, the punishment would probably just be confinement, a reduction in salary, and a reprimand.

So she still has to take revenge herself.

Are you suggesting that people should not side with their own daughter, but instead side with their daughter-in-law to uphold justice for her?

How can it be?

But she would never let her get away with it so easily.

As the saying goes: if the open methods don't work, then try the covert ones.

As long as she doesn't kill her, even if Emperor Jingzhao knows it's her revenge, he won't do anything to her.

After all, she was in the right; the Fifth Princess had provoked her first, and she was merely retaliating.

As she thought about it, a cruel smile crept onto her lips, sending chills down one's spine like a demon descending.
