The next morning.

Jing Yunzhou gracefully floated into Qiann Yan’s courtyard using his skillful Qinggong, but as soon as he landed, two men attacked him head-on, not giving him a chance to speak.

These two were big and strong, their martial arts were quite impressive. Caught off guard, he retreated repeatedly.

He then noticed that the two were perfectly in sync, their attacks were cunning, landing several hits on him. As he cried out in pain, the opponents seized the opportunity to attack, eventually sealing his pressure points.

He tried to break through the pressure points but found it impossible.

"This intruder suddenly broke in; luckily, we were both here today, otherwise one person wouldn’t have been able to handle him," said Wu Liang. He didn’t mention that the Princess Consort recently gave them a diagram of pressure points to study, which turned out to be quite useful.

During attacks, they targeted the opponent’s pressure points, ensuring the opponent quickly lost combat strength.

Jing Yunzhou wanted to speak, but Wu Liang had hit his Mute Acupoint, a few grimaces appeared on his handsome face. These bastards, do they know who he is? Attacking him just like that?

"Princess Consort, your subordinate has captured an intruder in the courtyard, awaiting your decision," Wu Liang said from the doorway, at this time Qiann Yan was having breakfast.

She heard the commotion outside but ignored it; these matters should be left to the Wu Liang and Wu Zhi brothers, otherwise, why did she buy them here?

No one would openly float into her courtyard using Qinggong like that, except for Jing Yunzhou.

"Finish eating first, then talk," Qiann Yan’s voice carried out.

Ashui felt somewhat triumphant inside, seeing the Princess Consort seemed uninterested in Jing Yunzhou after all, previously guessed wrong.

Indeed, how could someone as wise as the Princess Consort fancy someone as impure-hearted as Jing Yunzhou?

That guy, completely unworthy of the Princess Consort.

Not very intelligent either, no wonder he couldn’t win the Princess Consort’s affection.

After finishing her meal, Qiann Yan pushed open the door and immediately saw Jing Yunzhou being suppressed by the Wu Liang and Wu Zhi brothers.

Jing Yunzhou’s pressure points had been hit, unable to move or speak, his expression was very grim, a hint of grievance suddenly emerged when he saw Qiann Yan.

Qiann Yan signaled the Wu Liang and Wu Zhi brothers to release Jing Yunzhou and unseal the pressure points.

"Yanyan, why are there two more masters here?" Despite being angry, Jing Yunzhou knew it wasn’t the time to be upset; Yanyan might still be mad, and now he had to compromise for the important matters.

"This matter must be told from the night before my grand wedding."

Jing Yunzhou paused, the night before the grand wedding?

She never mentioned it, did something happen that he didn’t know about?

Ashui, on the side, also perked up his ears to listen, faintly feeling he should know something, but couldn’t recall what it was at the moment.

Jing Yunzhou followed Qiann Yan into the house: "Yanyan, what happened that night?"

"The night before the grand wedding, a thief broke into the Minister’s Mansion intending to harm me; should’ve been a flower thief. Fortunately, I quickly drew a dagger and gave him a stab. Unfortunately, couldn’t catch that flower thief," Qiann Yan said regrettably, "but that flower thief shouldn’t be able to do evil anymore, my stab was quite fierce, directly sending him into the palace."

Ashui, holding a bowl and chopsticks, instinctively closed his legs at the door; that flower thief must be Jing Lingyu?

Jing Lingyu actually wanted to do something like that, Ashui’s expression didn’t look good, no wonder the Princess Consort was targeted by him in the mansion.

Jing Lingyu’s actions were meant to ruin the Princess Consort’s reputation, weren’t they?

This person deserves no pity for his death.
