Chapter 155
Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse
Suddenly, it was the Grain in Beard Festival. Yu Linglong didn’t know until ancient times that this Grain in Beard Festival was actually a big festival in the eyes of the ancients because the Grain in Beard Festival was also called the Girl’s Festival. It was necessary to display various gifts to the goddess of flowers. The girls in the boudoir had nothing to do on weekdays, and they highly respected this custom. Shi Huiru had planned it long ago and had to spend this girl’s festival seriously, so she had to fight with Yu Linglong in advance to ask her to go to the Shi house to worship the flower goddess together. Yu Linglong had never been interested in the things of these little daughters’ houses, so she turned it down with excuses.
Unexpectedly, on this day, the crown prince’s wife personally left her post and called a carriage. She insisted on asking Yu Linglong to go to the Prince’s Mansion to enjoy the flowers. She also specifically said that all the princesses would go. Yu Linglong didn’t want to go. She thought that in this sensitive period if she didn’t go, she might appear to be afraid of the Prince’s Mansion, let alone the princesses admiring the flowers and forgiving them for not daring to do anything too outrageous, so she agreed.
At this time Ling’er had left the Xu Palace. Yu Linglong brought out the two maids promoted by Mama Liu, Hong Xing, and Qing Mei. Both of them were about fifteen or sixteen years old. This was the first time they had accompanied Yu Linglong out, so they served her with extra care.
Compared with the comfort and exquisiteness of the Royal Palace of Xu, the Prince’s Mansion was more majestic and solemn. On the tall gates, there were eight neat rows of copper nails, only one row less than the palace gate. Two mighty creatures sat at the gate. With their mighty demeanor and their primitive patterns, they were a thing of antiquity at first glance. It was full of vigorous aura and added a lot of grandeur to the entire Prince Mansion.
When she arrived in the back garden, she saw green grass and fluffy flowers all over the place. In the rugged rockery, there were scattered clumps of colorful bonsai, tied gold beads, red fruit, colored silk, exotic flowers of various colors, or strange rocks and strange scenes, shining bright and dizzying.
From a distance, the princess greeted her personally, with a smile on her face: “Ninth Sister, you are finally here. Everyone is here, we’re just waiting for you.”
Yu Linglong glanced at the banquet, and she came across a circle of faces with different looks. Some were indifferent, some were cold, some were disdainful, some were jealous, and some were colorful. They were simply more beautiful than the flowers in this garden.
Among them, one pair of eyes were particularly venomous, as if spraying flames, as if wishing to burn Yu Linglong alive.
Yu Linglong smiled slightly, not paying attention at all, and turned away from her gaze calmly, ignoring the quizzical face.
The princess did not seem to notice the abnormality of the people, so she led Yu Linglong to the table, with a soft and friendly smile on her face: “Ninth Sister, you have been married for so long, and we didn’t have a chance to get close. Last time I heard that you and Ninth Brother were in danger in the snow valley, and I was worried about my sister-in-law. However, I am only a silly woman, and I couldn’t help much. I could only pray in front of the Bodhisattva day and night and ask the Bodhisattva to bless you. Fortunately, heaven helped you and Ninth Brother, and you came out unharmed. They didn’t even miss a single strand of hair. It was so great.”
While talking, the princess took her to the only empty chair beside the table, which happened to be next to the woman with fire-breathing eyes.
Yu Linglong sat down quietly, and the princess on the side was still welcoming everyone warmly: “Today, everyone here is familiar with one another. Sisters, don’t be polite. Eat well and have fun.”
When everyone arrived, everyone raised their chopsticks and prepared to eat.
The woman next to Yu Linglong stood up quickly, her little face shouting at the princess, “Sister-in-law, I don’t want to sit next to her!”
She stretched her small hand and pointed it straight at Yu Linglong. The woman’s face was unabashedly angry: “This kind of person is not worthy for me to sit with her!”
The crown princess frowned slightly, and whispered: “Xinlin…”
It was not someone else who was speaking, but Princess Xinlin who regarded Yu Linglong as her biggest enemy in her life.
The face of the princess looked very embarrassed. Princess Xinlin was the empress’s adopted daughter and the princess’s adopted sister. Her status was naturally different, so she was able to participate in this flower viewing party for the princesses. The princess also found it difficult to deal with her expressing a child’s temper in the face of so many people.
The seating arrangements of the princesses had been arranged long ago, and it would indeed be a difficult thing to deal with if the seats were changed for Princess Xinlin alone.
Seeing Princess Xinlin’s angry appearance, the princess wanted to say something but she didn’t know whether she should try to persuade or meet the requirements of Princess Xinlin. Moreover, she had to take into account Yu Linglong’s feelings.
For a while, everyone’s eyes were focused on the three of them.
Everyone was sitting properly. Only Princess Xinlin was standing, with her little finger pointing at Yu Linglong, which looked very lofty.
Yu Linglong took a quick sip of tea to moisturize her throat, and then she raised her eyes to Princess Xinlin.
This Princess Xinlin is really brain-dead. She had taken care of her so many times, but she still didn’t have long-term memory at all.
Reaching out and grabbing a few melon seeds and slowly eating, Yu Linglong moved her eyes to Princess Xinlin’s finger pointing to her, and said coldly: “Hasn’t your mother taught you before? Pointing to others is very uneducated!”
After saying this, everyone in the room suddenly gasped.
Legend had it that Princess Xu had a sturdy temperament and vicious methods. They didn’t expect her to live up to her reputation.
Princess Xinlin shook with anger and screamed: “Who are you, dare to teach me!? Look in the mirror. Are you worthy of my elder brother?”
Seeing Princess Xinlin’s face flushed with anger, Yu Linglong finally realized.
It was no wonder that this girl always found fault with her. It turned out that it was the unhappy love affair that Lord Xu provoked outside.
If she put it aside before, she wouldn’t want to argue with this silly little girl. But now Lord Xu was her husband, and if you want to covet him, you have to ask her first.
After eating the melon seeds in the palm of her hand, Yu Linglong clapped her hands and decided that it would be better to let this little girl give up as soon as possible.
With a pretty face with a sardonic smile, Yu Linglong smiled sinisterly: “I am Princess Xu who was appointed by the emperor himself. What, do you have an opinion?”
Just piss you off, it’s best to piss you off!
“You, you—” Princess Xinlin’s eyes were wide open, but after all, she was not stupid. She just held her breath and didn’t dare to refute Yu Linglong’s words.
Did she dare to say that Yu Linglong was wrong? If she dared to say it, she was doubting the emperor’s decision. Even if she was the princess, she couldn’t bear such a big crime.
Seeing Princess Xinlin was defeated, Yu Linglong smiled openly: “Do you want to eat standing up? Do you want someone to take away the chair?”
Princess Xinlin was about to be mad but was blocked by Yu Linglong’s words, and simply sat down on the chair, and said angrily: “Why should I stand? I want to sit— “
Unexpectedly, she hadn’t finished speaking, but there was air under her body, and she was sitting directly on the ground!
Her heart stopped. Her strength was naturally not light, and she screamed when she fell so hard that tears suddenly came out of her eyes.
Yu Linglong looked very surprised and smiled: “Sorry, I thought you didn’t want to sit on it. I thought this chair was getting in the way, so I moved it.”
Having said that, there was no guilt on her face, and her tone was full of obvious gloat.
She moved so fast that she didn’t even see the people at the table. She just took a light kick and Princess Xinlin’s chair was kicked out. Of course, she could only sit on the ground.
Princess Xinlin’s skin was delicate and her muscles were tender. How could she withstand such a fierce fall? She was in pain, and tears were dripping down her face: “Woo, sister-in-law, you made me fall!”
Yu Linglong looked at Princess Xinlin with a bit more contempt. She still had the temper to make people feel sorry for her when she suffered a loss. This girl hadn’t grown at all.
The crown prince’s wife took a deep look at Yu Linglong, then turned around and said: “What are you still doing there? Help the princess right up.”
The people in the audience watched the good show with rapt attention, and even the maids who served by the side of the room were also stunned. They had never seen such a tough princess.
Hearing the princess’s instructions, the maids hurried forward and helped Princess Xinlin. Princess Xinlin stood up slowly while crying through gritted teeth: “It hurts so bad, wahhh, you’re bullying me—”
Yu Linglong pulled the corner of her mouth contemptuously. Bullying? If you didn’t deliberately pick a fight, would your elder sister need to take action?
The crown princess cleared her throat and said, “Hurry up and take Princess Xinlin to the back to rest, and send the imperial doctor into the mansion quickly to examine her injuries.”
After speaking, she turned to Yu Linglong again, and said, “Xinlin is young and ignorant, so you shouldn’t lower yourself to her.”
Yu Linglong sneered, young and ignorant? Xinlin’s age was about the same as hers, so why should she take care of her?
Thinking like this in her mind, Yu Linglong didn’t say anything but just nodded lightly.
Seeing the princess commanding the maids to carry Princess Xinlin out, Yu Linglong glanced at the princess deeply and buried her doubts in her stomach.
The conflict between her and Princess Xinlin was no secret. The princesses sat at a large table, but the princess arranged for her to sit next to Princess Xinlin. Was it intentional?
After such a small disturbance just now, the dinner seemed a little dull, and the princess ordered the musicians to play music, and the atmosphere slowly eased.
After the meal, there was a poem contest of ancient women as usual. Yu Linglong naturally didn’t have the interest to participate, she just sat at the tea table under the shade of flowers and drank tea.
This should be her first time attending a banquet as Princess Xu. It had to be said that these women married to the royal family were indeed outstanding. They must be of great family backgrounds, their appearances must be graceful, their manners must be noble and elegant, and their speech must be refined. In contrast, she was like a chicken standing in a flock of wild cranes, standing out from the group, and out of place.
For example, at this moment, she was sitting here alone and drinking tea quietly, and other people were in small groups enjoying the flowers, or meditating on their writing, or enjoying the music during the feast, but no one dared to come forward and talk with her.
Yu Linglong suddenly thought of Shi Huiru. A small dimple appeared at the corner of her mouth, making her cold face softer.
At this time, Shi Huiru must be having a lot of fun in her yard, without a doubt. she had been looking forward to the Girl’s Festival for so long, so naturally, she would be having a lot of fun.
Yu Linglong could almost imagine that Shi Huiru will come to her in a few days and happily describe her wonderful experience of celebrating the Girl’s Festival.
Yu Linglong was thinking about it, and the princess came over with a generous smile, “What are you doing, Ninth Sister?”
It must be because she was sitting here alone and was afraid she was lonely. The princess, as the host, wanted to do the best job of a host, so she also sat down, looking like she was going to talk.
“Does Ninth Sister like to drink tea? What do you like to drink? I’ll ask someone to bring a few boxes of good tea to you later.”
Yu Linglong retracted her thoughts and replied faintly: “Tieguanyin tea.”
She didn’t like the fragrance of scented tea, nor the richness of Pu’er. Only the light but endless aftertaste of Tieguanyin was the taste she liked.
A faint contempt flashed across the eyes of the princess, but the smile on her face grew stronger: “So my younger sister likes to drink this. I happen to have a lot here, and you will also taste my Tieguanyin.”
Tieguanyin was one of the most common teas, which can be drunk even by the servants on the street. Yu Linglong chose this kind of tea to drink. It will naturally make people think that she had a humble background that only served this kind of ordinary tea.
The princess beckoned, and immediately a maid came up, poured water, washed the tea, brewed it. She seemed to know the art of tea, and her movements seemed very familiar. Obviously, this maid was professionally trained.
Yu Linglong only glanced faintly, then looked away. She didn’t dislike tea art but felt that the maid’s movements were too dull, which made her look fancy but was not pleasing to the eye.
Although she turned her head, she saw from the corner of her eyes that the princess glanced at the maid, and the maid quietly stepped back.
Yu Linglong looked at the princess indifferently when she saw her stretch out a slender hand, took a cup of tea with her hand, and handed it to Yu Linglong: “My younger sister must also taste my Tieguanyin.”
She had a soft wrist, holding a white jade teacup, and the golden crystal caltrop lid was formed into a beautiful magnolia shape, covering the top of the teacup. This situation was enough to make people feel astonished.
In the sun, the lid on the princess’s finger exuded a bright light, which made her unable to open her eyes.
Yu Linglong watched this scene steadily and suddenly smiled faintly.
Reaching out to take the teacup, she covered her face with her sleeve, pretending to take a sip. After a while, she smiled and said, “The tea for the princess is really different.”
Seeing her drinking, the crown princess’ eyes flashed with joy, and said: “If you like it, I will send it to you tomorrow.”
Yu Linglong put down the teacup, her eyes drooping slightly: “Then thank you, princess.”
Seeing the princess could not help but look at her gaze, Yu Linglong sneered secretly in her head. After all, she was a woman, so she couldn’t help herself.
After chatting casually for a bit, Yu Linglong stood up, and the princess asked hurriedly, “Where are you going, younger sister?”
Seeing her impatient look with bright eyes, Yu Linglong gestured and supported her forehead: “Sorry, I’m a little uncomfortable, and I want to go back.”
The princess just let her go, and immediately smiled: “Since you feel uncomfortable, please rest and go back. You should come with me.”
Looking at the gentle hand reaching her, Yu Linglong smiled slightly: “Okay, then thank you, princess.”
No wonder she personally sent a carriage to pick her up in the morning. She did not take the carriage of the Xu Palace, so naturally she could only rely on the arrangements of the Prince’s House. The prince’s trap was really exhaustive.
Since she was so kindly invited, she wanted to see what kind of “surprise” the princess had arranged for her!
The crown princess took her hand, took her around, and walked to a secluded courtyard in the backyard of the Prince’s Mansion, and personally helped her onto the bed in the room. Then she said softly: “It’s quiet here. Have a good rest, and I will see you later.”
Yu Linglong narrowed her eyes slightly and said softly, “Thank you…”
She still didn’t know what medicine was in the tea, and it was inconvenient to show too much, so she just pretended to be a little weak. From the eyes of outsiders, she already looked like she had been drugged.
The princess looked very happy and smiled: “What are you talking about? You and I are family, your sister-in-law should take care of you, right? “
Seeing her smiling like a spring breeze, she was completely caring for her. If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, Yu Linglong would not believe that the princess was really the one who gave her the drug just now.
Seeing the princess get up to leave, Yu Linglong’s heart suddenly moved. She grabbed her hand and called out, “Sister-in-law!”
This was the first time she called the princess sister-in-law. The princess was taken aback, her blushing lips tightened involuntarily, and she whispered, “What’s the matter?”
Yu Linglong held her hand tightly and looked at her. She felt nervous. She calmly patted Yu Linglong’s hand and comforted her: “Have a good night’s sleep, just have a good night’s sleep. I’ll be here soon.” After speaking, she withdrew her hand in a panic.
Yu Linglong nodded lightly and lay on the couch obediently.
Yu Linglong opened her eyes when she heard the voice of the princess taking people out.
The palm of her hand slowly loosened, she looked at the long golden fake nail in her hand and smiled coldly.
The princess must have focused all of her attention on the matter in her heart, otherwise, how could she not even notice that she was pulling off a fake nail?
But, what kind of drug did the princess give her, and what was the purpose of bringing her here?
She was thinking about it, and a familiar voice suddenly sounded outside the door, but it brought a bit of indifference that she was not familiar with: “You all can leave, I will go back to the table after a short rest.”
Before she recovered, the door of the room had been opened.
When she saw the person entering the room, she and the person were both startled.
“Why is it you?”
They asked in unison, but there was a very light click outside the door. Yu Linglong immediately got up, walked quickly, and pulled the door. As expected, the door was locked.
Yu Linglong couldn’t help squeezing the palm of her hand, but she didn’t expect the princess’s intentions to be so vicious!
Turning back into the room, she sat at the table, thinking quickly about countermeasures.
The man obviously did not understand the situation before him. He was still immersed in the surprise and joy of seeing her. He walked quickly to her and looked at her with big eyes without blinking: “Linglong, why are you here?”
Yu Linglong glared at him indifferently, and said indifferently: “Master Gan, why are you here?”
Gan Lin sat at the table, his face was a little red because of the heat or excitement, “The prince invited me to have a drink. After a few drinks, I felt a little dizzy, so someone took me over to rest.”
While talking, he unconsciously pulled the collar: “Why is it so hot today?”
Looking at his flushed cheeks and shiny eyes, Yu Linglong’s heart moved. Could it be that the medicine that the princess gave her was also…
Sure enough, Gan Lin became more and more irritable, and the eyes staring at her became deeper and deeper, and he couldn’t help but grab her hand: “Linglong, I have something to tell you…”
Yu Linglong withdrew her hand quickly, her face sinking: “Gan Lin, do you know what you are doing!?”
Gan Lin’s expression gradually became confused. His face became redder, and the white skin exposed from his torn collar was also glowing abnormally red, and his black and white eyes gradually became misty: “Linglong, you don’t know, I have missed you so much…”
Before he finished speaking, he grabbed Yu Linglong’s sleeves. He was so strong that it didn’t seem like him: “Why can’t you give me a chance? I will prove it to you, I am no worse than him!”
Yu Linglong’s heart burst into flames, and she threw him away without even thinking about it: “Shut up!”
Unexpectedly, this shake did not get rid of Gan Lin, but accidentally made him tear off half of her sleeves. With a ripping sound, a pale, white arm was suddenly exposed.
Gan Lin was drunk with pleasure. His eyes fixed on her sexy arm, his eyes gradually showed a layer of red silk, his breathing became more and more rapid, and he got up and grabbed her directly, which looked like a wild beast. He was just about to strip Yu Linglong.
Yu Linglong secretly thought this was not good, but her first reaction was not to cover her bare skin, but to grab the teapot on the table, trying to use cold water to extinguish the medicinal properties of Gan Lin.
Unexpectedly, when she picked up the teapot, she felt light in her hand, and couldn’t help cursing in a low voice: “Damn!”
The teapot turned out to be empty!
She didn’t expect that the trap of the princess was so perfect that she didn’t even leave a drop of cold water.
For this delay, Gan Lin had already rushed over, stretched out his arms, and hugged her tightly in his arms: “Linglong, stay with me, I only want you!”
At this time, Gan Lin was already slightly taller than Yu Linglong, and she didn’t get rid of him. Yu Linglong was in a hurry, and she smashed the teapot in her hand without thinking about it!
With a bang, Gan Lin murmured with pain, immediately let go of her hand, and immediately covered the wound and fell to the ground.
Blood oozed from his fingers, and after a while, it stained his hands and face. Yu Linglong had hit him very hard.
However, Gan Lin was sobered up a lot now. He held his forehead and propped up his body, his blood-stained eyes looked at Yu Linglong, and there was a moment of clarity in his eyes: “This…this is…”
Recalling the situation just now, Gan Lin’s face changed: “Linglong, I don’t know what’s going on, I, I didn’t mean it…”
Yu Linglong put down the bloody teapot in her hand. While listening to the movement outside, she said coldly: “I know.”
Gan Lin could not be blamed for this. The person who designed the plan knew that Gan Lin had a deep affection for her, so they gave them both aphrodisiacs. The one given to Gan Lin was in the wine, and the one given to her was supposed to be in tea, and because of her, they avoided catastrophe.
From the time the princess seemed to unintentionally provoke her and Princess Xinlin, she began to feel that this banquet was not as simple as it seemed, and she began to be careful from that moment.
When the princess motioned to the maid to step back and pour her tea, she kept staring at the princess’s movements. The teapot was no problem. The princess also drank the tea, so where did she get the medicine from?
When the princess served her tea in person, she noticed the fake nail on her hand.
When observing the behavior of other princesses, she found that these aristocratic women were well-behaved. They were stubborn and refused to take a wrong step for fear of being ridiculed. The princess was the future queen and she should pay more attention to demeanor. When she was serving tea to Yu Linglong, she did not lift the pinky with the fake nail to make an orchid gesture like other people, but intentionally or unconsciously covered the top of the teacup. If the poison was hidden in her fake nail, this was the best time to poison her.
It was normal for the princess to ask her to drink tea, and it was also normal for the maids to be sent away. It was also a sign of kindness to pour her tea by hand. Maybe she was not careful when the fake nail covered the teacup, but so many coincidences collided, and of course Yu Linglong was suspicious.
The princess’s poisoning skills were really brilliant. If it weren’t for Yu Linglong to take precautions in advance, it would be really hard to find out.
Even Yu Linglong wasn’t sure until the end that the princess was indeed trying to harm her.
So what was the purpose of harming her? She gave her and Gan Lin an aphrodisiac and locked them in the room. Was it just to catch them in the bed? What were the consequences of doing this?
A flash of lightning flashed across Yu Linglong’s mind, could it be…
Even she herself was surprised by her own thoughts.
She was just an ordinary woman, and the only thing that the prince and princess could use was her identity as Princess Xu.
Lord Xu’s affection for her is a fact that everyone knew. When he first pursued her, he almost caused a sensation in the entire capital. Later, it was because of her that he gave up his wealth and only asked the emperor to promise a marriage to her. She fell into the trap, and it was Lord Xu who came to rescue her desperately, and even almost died with her in an avalanche.
Now, the prince used her again to make her be raped and ruined, and if Lord Xu found out that she had betrayed him, how much would it affect him?
In this sensitive period now, although Lord Xu had the status of a leader, he still had to unite all forces and exhausted his efforts. If at this time he found Yu Linglong committing adultery, it would definitely be a huge deal for him. How can he be in the mood to carry out his plan? The impression of Lord Xu in the heart of the emperor would also plummet because of such a princess who insulted the emperor.
Yu Linglong couldn’t help but smile coldly. Every step of the way was exhausted, and it was indeed the style of the prince.
Gan Lin didn’t know that it was just a blink of an eye, Yu Linglong’s maid had turned back and forth. He picked up the half of Yu Linglong’s sleeve that he had just pulled off, stopped the blood on his forehead, and finally stood up.
The look at her was a bit guilty, and a bit careful: “Linglong, I…”
Yu Linglong glanced at Gan Lin who still had blood on his face. At this moment, his face still had a lot of red blood, but his eyes were clearer. Obviously, Yu Linglong smashed him, which diminished the effects of the aphrodisiac.
Ignoring Gan Lin, Yu Linglong was still thinking about countermeasures in accordance with her thoughts. The consequences were conceivable, and the next step would naturally be to catch them in the act.
Yu Linglong walked to the door of the room, stretched out her hand, and the door was still locked tightly, so she still had time.
If someone catches them in the act, how could someone see them when the door was locked? The people outside must have been told to wait for Yu Linglong and Gan Lin to get things done inside before they can come to unlock it.
Touching the golden fake nail in her purse, Yu Linglong immediately found a way.
After catching the still somewhat bewildered Gan Lin, Yu Linglong shouted in a deep voice: “Do you want to live or die?”
Gan Lin was startled and said: “What?”
“If you want to live, just do as I tell you; if you want to die, just wait here for someone to open the door.”
Looking at her calm face, Gan Lin gradually calmed down and said, “Of course I will listen to you.”
Yu Linglong said: “You must immediately clean up all the blood on the ground and arrange things neatly so that no traces will be found.”
Gan Lin nodded and asked, “What about you?”
Yu Linglong didn’t answer. She took off her cumbersome outer shirt, grabbed the jewelry from her head, found a piece of cloth to wrap her head, and started her plan swiftly.
The first step was to get out of this room. The door was out of play. Yu Linglong checked all the windows and found that all the windows were locked. They looked like normal windows, but they couldn’t open at all.
It was indeed the princess’s method, so it must be done seamlessly.
Looking up at the high roof, Yu Linglong moved a stool, quickly went to the closet, climbed up the beam along the closet, lifted a few tiles, and got out neatly.
Gan Lin stared at Yu Linglong’s agile skills in amazement, and couldn’t even move.
Yu Linglong got out of the ceiling and dropped a cold sentence: “Hurry up!”
Only then did Gan Lin come back to his senses, and quickly tidied up in accordance with Yu Linglong’s orders.
He couldn’t be inferior to a woman, could he?
Yu Linglong didn’t have time to take a look at Gan Lin. She quickly surveyed the surrounding situation, and when she saw that there was no one, she slipped off the pillars of the room.
Without taking a few steps, she grabbed a maid and stunned her, put on her uniform, and threw the fainted maid directly behind the rockery.
Recalling the route the princess took her just now, she quickly walked in the direction of the banquet.
From a distance, she saw the singing and dancing at the banquet, and the princess was sitting in the seat of honor, chatting and laughing with the princesses next to her, and she couldn’t see the guilty conscience of doing something wrong.
Her charming face sank slightly, Yu Linglong stretched out her hand to grab a maid, and whispered: “Go and tell the princess that there was an accident in the backyard, and ask her to come out and have a look.”
As she spoke, she pointed to a remote corner. The maid saw she was serious. Although she didn’t know who she was, she didn’t dare to ask any more. After all, the princess did many things that she could not manage as a maid.
Yu Linglong let go of the maid, and she turned behind the tall pot of bonsai next to the corner.
After a while, she saw that the princess took a maid and hurriedly left the table and walked in her direction.
The princess could only see a person standing faintly behind the bonsai, dressed in the costume of the maid in the house, but could not see who it was. Thinking of the shameful incident in the backyard, she ordered the maid behind her to go back and wait, and she greeted her and hurriedly asked, “What happened?”
Although she was pretending to be nonchalant, the princess was still guilty in her heart. Who didn’t know that Princess Xu was a notoriously difficult character. Although today’s plan is meticulous, she didn’t make any mistakes. So as soon as she heard that someone said something happened in the backyard, she immediately came to ask about the situation.
As the princess asked, she looked at the maid who came out from behind the bonsai.
At first glance, she saw it was very serious. The princess looked at Yu Linglong in front of her. She looked like she had seen a ghost. She was so frightened that she looked pale: “You…you…”
Yu Linglong smiled coldly, and before the princess screamed, she struck her with a karate chop and stunned her.
Once she got a hold of her, the next step was how to transport her.
Looking at the cumbersome skirt on the princess, Yu Linglong couldn’t help laughing. Wasn’t this convenient?
Although the ancient women’s skirts were troublesome, they played a huge role at this moment. She took off the two ends and fastened them into a sack, which was more than enough to hold the princess.
So Yu Linglong carried the stunned princess and walked to the backyard proudly.
There were also several maids on the way, and she said that this was something the princess ordered to send in, but no one checked it.
In the name of the princess, of course no one would doubt her because Yu Linglong had calmness and courage.
When she walked to the backyard, she saw that the lock was still hanging upright on the door. Yu Linglong put down the sack, pulled out the golden hairpin on the crown of the princess, and opened the lock in three or two strokes.
In the past, when she was a little gangster, it was common to break in and pick a lock. This kind of big and stupid lock in ancient times was even more impossible to hold her.
Seeing her return, Gan Lin immediately stood up with a smile of joy: “Linglong.”
Yu Linglong didn’t even look at him and threw the sack from her shoulders onto the bed, and the bed board immediately made a loud noise.
Gan Lin felt very strange: “What is this?”
Yu Linglong opened the sack and pulled out the princess who was still unconscious, and said coldly: “This is the one who wanted to harm me.”
When Gan Lin saw that it was the princess, he was shocked: “Is it…my cousin? …Impossible!”
Yu Linglong glanced at Gan Lin. Was he naive and stupid? If it weren’t for the host’s order, who would dare to put things in his wine glass?
Gan Lin seemed to have thought of something, and his face suddenly turned pale: “This…no, it can’t…”
The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. He almost fell on a chair, his lips moving, but he couldn’t say anything.
Yu Linglong didn’t have time to pay attention to him. She took out the golden fake nail, and plunged into the princess mercilessly!
The princess screamed in pain, woke up, and saw Yu Linglong in front of her, her face immediately turned pale: “Ninth…Ninth Sister…”
Yu Linglong sneered: “Who is your Ninth Sister!?”
If it weren’t for her wit and keenness, she would have been trapped in bed by her design at this moment. Would she still be Princess Xu or her Ninth Sister? She would immediately be reduced to the shame of the royal family, the abandoned wife of Lord Xu, and even her life might not be saved!
Thinking of the possible consequences, and seeing the hypocritical appearance of the princess in front of her, she felt sick!
Looking at Yu Linglong’s cruel face, the princess instantly understood that her conspiracy had been exposed. She trembled her lips and begged for mercy in a low voice: “Ninth Sister, I…I was wrong, I’m sorry, it was not intentional, it was just for my husband…”
She was also used by others. Otherwise, why would she take the risk to provoke Yu Linglong, the most famous and difficult person in the capital? How terrible were the consequences of offending her, didn’t she know?
Seeing the frightened look of the princess, even Gan Lin felt it was unbearable. He couldn’t help but say, “Linglong, is there any misunderstanding in this?”
As if someone who was about to drown grabbing at a straw, the princess nodded hurriedly: “Yes, yes, these are all misunderstandings…misunderstandings…”
As if not hearing the words of the two of them at all, Yu Linglong just stared at the princess condescendingly. Her eyes were like a hungry lioness looking at her prey, considering where to eat the most tender and delicious flesh.
She was sorry? What was her apology worth? If she was reduced to a fish on the chopping block, who would think everything was a misunderstanding? Who would listen to her apologize?
Sorry? Her sister’s heart was not cotton candy, it was not so soft!
She was horrified by her cold gaze. The princess shivered slightly, and looked at Yu Linglong pleadingly: “Ninth Sister…”
Yu Linglong finally opened her mouth.
“Very soon, I will not be your Ninth Sister, and you will not be my sister-in-law either.”
That was the first and last time she called her sister-in-law.
Yu Linglong grabbed Gan Lin who was still in a daze and unceremoniously pulled him out of the room.
“Hurry up, act as if this hasn’t happened.” Yu Linglong said without raising her head when she locked the door with a click.
Gan Lin touched the wound on his head: “Then my wound…”
Yu Linglong said coldly: “You’re such a big person, you can’t even tell a lie?”
Gan Lin was silenced by her and couldn’t say a word, watching her eyes gradually became complicated: “What are you going to do with her?”
Looking at her face, he knew that the princess would not be able to do well. How could Yu Linglong be forced to suffer in silence and accept her losses? She wouldn’t die and she wouldn’t accept defeat.
Yu Linglong’s tone was as cold as a snow-capped mountain: “It has nothing to do with you.”
After being silenced by her again, Gan Lin still refused to leave. He reluctantly asked: “Aren’t you afraid of me telling on you?”
Yu Linglong finally raised her head and glanced at him, seeming to be looking at him, and then seeming to examine him: “Are you that stupid?”
Gan Lin had an aphrodisiac and was laid down in the Prince’s Mansion. In today’s scene, Gan Lin is just a pawn. The prince used his infatuation with Yu Linglong and added a little aphrodisiac to catalyze his vile and nasty purpose.
Although he had an aunt who was empress, it is a pity that in his aunt’s eyes, her son and her son’s throne was the most important thing. Even if it was the only son of the Gan family, he still couldn’t escape the fate of being exploited.
In this case, Gan Lin still had to help the prince and become an enemy of her, which was really stupid.
Gan Lin’s face became more and more ugly. He squirmed his lips. Several times he tried to tell Yu Linglong what the empress had asked him, but he couldn’t say anything.
Even if he was used by her, he still had to defend her because he had the same surname as her.
If he told Yu Linglong that the empress also had a part in this matter, then with Yu Linglong’s temperament, she would definitely not let it go.
She was now the empress’s daughter-in-law, how could she fight the powerful empress? No matter how desperate the fight was between them, it was the result that he didn’t want to see.
In the end, he decided not to mention it.
Seeing Yu Linglong walking hurriedly outside, Gan Lin glanced at her back for the last time and chose another direction to leave.
Perhaps he really shouldn’t get involved in these internal royal battles. His identity was destined. If he got involved in it, he would either hurt his beloved or his family.
Except for leaving silently, he really didn’t know which way he should choose
