Exile at the start? The princess is no ordinary woman.

Adding to the scene that had just unfolded, her approach now sent a chill down everyone's spine, exuding an overwhelming sense of oppression. Before Gu Nanzhi could even speak, Butler Li and Zhou Cai, who had already squeezed to the doorway, saw her and asked urgently,

"Madam, Madam, how is the master?"

"Madam, how is the master?"

At this moment, Chen Qiang and the others, who were still blocking the doorway, seemed to be adjusting their positions to allow Butler Li and Zhou Cai to pass. However, the anxious and worried Butler Li and Zhou Cai didn't even notice this.

Just make sure you can get inside the house.

Gu Nanzhi slightly lifted her eyelids, glanced coldly at the two of them, and said indifferently, "If you had come any later, we could have been collecting their corpses."

Despite her petite and delicate frame in front of the crowd, she exuded an aura of superiority that inspired a sense of awe and submission in everyone around her.

Then he asked another question.

Where were you two just now?

In the next room, with such a commotion, the two of them still hadn't appeared in time, making Gu Nanzhi doubt their loyalty.

Upon hearing this, Butler Li and Zhou Cai immediately understood the implication: the madam was now doubting their loyalty.

But they also deeply regretted their actions. How could they have been so careless and fallen into the trap? What would be the point of them if something happened to the prince?

The two men immediately clasped their hands in a fist salute to Gu Nanzhi, knelt on one knee, and lowered their heads to show their loyalty.

"Please forgive me, Madam. It was my failure to protect you properly. I was drugged and unable to appear in time. Please punish me."

Regardless of the prince's status, they all chose to follow him, considering him their master forever. Furthermore, the lady was their master's wife, and this questioning was only to protect their master; therefore, they willingly submitted to her.

They were useless. Their master was assassinated, and although they were subordinates and had some skills, they failed to appear in time to protect him. On the contrary, it was the lady, a weak woman, who appeared by the master's side in time. They should be punished.

At this moment, Gu Nanzhi's aura was too powerful, carrying a hint of murderous intent, causing those watching at the door to be unable to react immediately to tonight's events. They could only watch helplessly, even the escorts like Chen Qiang.

This woman truly broadened their horizons; she was a ruthless person.

Gu Nanzhi had naturally observed the two's condition and could tell that they weren't very clear-headed. Were they drugged?

"Hand out"

Gu Nanzhi then extended two fingers and placed them on the pulse points of both men to check if it was true.

After a quick examination, he made a decision. He then took out a small bottle from his spatial storage, opened it, and placed it in front of the two. The scent emanating from the bottle was inhaled by the two, and they felt their dizzy heads lighten somewhat.

Thank you, Madam.

Although it wasn't explicitly stated, the two understood the lady's intention: she believed in their loyalty and had even removed the drug from their heads.

"Get up and help your master to bed."

Gu Nanzhi waved to the two of them. The sleeping potions were nothing compared to hers; how could they possibly rival the potent ones she produced? Meanwhile, Xia He was still fast asleep in the next room, completely unfazed.

However, this amount of sleeping pills was enough for these people, and it was quite an achievement that they were still able to struggle to regain their senses.

"Yes, ma'am"

The two men accepted the order and were eager to check on their master's condition.

Gu Nanzhi then glanced at the reactions of the people at the door. She wondered if these escorts would protect the exiled prisoners during the journey.

After all, because of her intervention, the battle ended too quickly. It's unclear whether they deliberately arrived late or at their normal pace, and no one can confirm whether they would have intervened in the face of the assassin's attack.

Therefore, she didn't pursue these matters, and she never expected anyone to protect her.

Of course, she wasn't unaware of the gloating and those who wanted to see the show. Since that was the case, she decided to play her hand openly as a warning.

"Cang Ling, did you get the answer?"

Gu Nanzhi turned her head slightly and asked a question in a low voice.

"Yes, Madam, no."

At this moment, Cang Ling held the assassin's sharp blade against his neck, but the assassin did not reveal who was behind it.

He knew that this person came from an assassin organization and that there would be no result, but since his wife had asked him to interrogate him, he had to cooperate.

Gu Nanzhi was well aware that things wouldn't end easily, and according to what Butler Li had said before, Jun Yanchen had quite a few enemies.

But she hadn't expected any results from the start; it was just a formality.

She faced the crowd at the door with a listless expression, and then spoke in a faint voice.

"Cang Ling, get out of the way!"

Upon hearing the lady's words, Cang Ling immediately rose from her squatting position, took a step back, and looked towards the lady at the door.

Immediately, Gu Nanzhi drew the weapon she had just used to defeat the assassin in her right hand. Without turning her head, she raised her right arm behind her and aimed it at the assassin who had no chance of escape.

"boom"

In everyone's eyes, a single shot pierced the killer's heart, causing him to fall to the ground, lifeless, filled with fear and resentment.

Cang Ling, who was nearby, seemed to hear the sound of something piercing into a body, and was shocked by the lady's actions.

The lady was too... too decisive. She killed him without hesitation. He thought she wanted to do something else by asking him to step aside, but the next second he was dead at her hands.

At this moment, the lady could see the shadow of her master; she was equally ruthless, decisive, and intimidating, inspiring both fear and submission.

Gu Nanzhi's open move, besides giving Cang Ling, who had already witnessed it, another chance to see it, also stunned everyone at this moment.

Butler Li and Zhou Cai had just finished putting their master on the bed, their hands still trembling, when the gunshot startled them. They looked at the corpse that had been struggling just moments before, then stiffly glanced at Cang Ling and the lady at the door.

What just happened? They couldn't see it, but the sound was so loud it shook their hearts, because their minds, which were still slightly dazed from the drug, were now completely clear.

Qian Laosi, the guard in the escort compartment, was trembling uncontrollably. His heart skipped a beat. Good heavens, this was terrifying! This venomous woman had really killed someone with that hidden weapon, and she hadn't even turned around before aiming it at the assassin and killing him.

This time, she killed a living, breathing person, not some slut like before. Yet she remained so calm, not even blinking, as if nothing had happened.

That's terrifying! This woman is a devil! Luckily, he chose to be honest and back down. Otherwise, how could he possibly have dealt with such hidden weapons?

After a moment of lingering fear, Qian Laosi also noticed several of his brothers who hadn't believed his description of the woman's skill with hidden weapons during the day.

Seeing them all frozen in shock, too afraid to move, he felt a surge of disdain. "Hmph," he thought, "I've already told you this woman is no ordinary person; she has powerful hidden weapons. You still wouldn't believe me."

Now you believe it, right? You've seen it all, haven't you? It scared you to death, let's see if you still have any doubts;
