The Devious First Daughter

Chapter 139. The Edict from the Emperor

But she was just a maid. No matter how fast she was, she was not faster than the guard's hand. A guard beside Yun Luoluo instantly caught her sleeve, took her back, and threw her on the ground.

"Guards, take them." Ao Chenyi put on an evilly cold expression. As he waved his hand, a few ferocious guards came and took away these concubines who came here to give testimonies, Yun Luoluo, and Xiangrong. Commandery Princess Xianyun was about to say something when two eunuchs came over.

"Princess, please go back to your courtyard." A eunuch raised his wooden face, looking at Commandery Princess Xianyun expressionlessly. The expression was not respectful at all and even aggressive.

Commandery Princess Xianyun had been used to being respected, so she became sullen, ready to fly into a rage.

"Please go back to your courtyard, princess." Another one looked at Commandery Princess Xianyun with the same wooden expression as if he was looking at a lifeless log.

Commandery Princess Xianyun was shocked and looked up at Ao Chenyi. When she saw his deep, cold, and fierce eyes, she instantly felt a chill pouring into her body from her head. She bit her lips and turned and left. If she stood up to Ao Chenyi at this time, she was sure to suffer.

First, the other concubines in the courtyard saw that Commandery Princess Xianyun was taken away by two eunuchs, and then they were released and driven back to their courtyards. Seeing that the two eunuchs were at the door of the courtyard, they knew that their life had returned to their previous situation that they would not be easily allowed to leave their places.

It was certainly not over when the thing had come to this point. Many of these women were given by the palace, so they were quite clear that although this didn't seem to have so much to do with the princess ostensibly, this was not true, was it? The favored concubine of Prince Yi was assassinated. Now it was still unknown whether she was alive or dead. Most importantly, Lord Peace's Manor and Second Young Lady were involved in it. Then anyone knew that the princess would never be innocent.

A "big storm" was about to sweep into the mansion...

When the others left and the door of the courtyard was closed, the badly wounded favored concubine who passed out just now stood up.

"What about her wound?" Ao Chenyi asked the imperial physician.

"It's not that serious. The attack was with great force, but she avoided it, so her vital organs were not harmed. Although she is a female and was wounded, her condition is not serious," the imperial physician answered. The person disguising as the favored concubine was a secret guard. As soon as Commandery Princess Xianyun's hand moved, she had known it. But for the sake of doing a vivid show, she just tried to avoid her vital organs being harmed. Although she bled so much, her wound was not as serious as the others imagined.

"Go and rest first." Ao Chenyi nodded. After looking at Ning Xueyan, he eased his expression and said, "Come in. Let's talk inside."

Ning Xueyan nodded and walked into the house with Ao Chenyi.

This was Ning Xueyan's house. Although the secret guard playing the "favored concubine" lived here, she did not live in the main room but in a wing room.

"Afraid or not?" Ao Chenyi extended his hand gently over and taking her lightly to the couch beside them, sat down with her.

"No!" Ning Xueyan answered firmly as her eyelashes trembled twice slightly. If this had happened in her previous life, she must have been afraid. But in this life, she had hardened her heart so much that she was no longer Ning Ziying who knew nothing at that time. She knew very well that once she came to Prince Yi's Manor as a married woman, she would never be able to live a life at ease.
