"Thank you, Your Highness."
Ye Xiuying had watched the Crown Prince grow up since he was a child, so she naturally knew what His Highness disliked and liked. Therefore, she was very generous, graceful and charming. Although there were five clear finger marks on her face, she still had a smile on her face.
Crown Prince Feng Zixiao's expression finally improved, but then Hai Ling spoke up again.
"Your Highness, Ling'er has just solved the Precious Chess Game and obtained the Precious Chess Game, which is worth a thousand gold pieces. Now I present it to Your Highness, and I hope Your Highness will like it."
A pair of fair and delicate hands were raised high, presenting the Precious Chess Set.
No one could see her lowered face, but a hint of worry was hidden in her black, pearl-like pupils. She really liked this Zhenlong Chess. Would Feng Zixiao really take it? After all, it was worth a fortune and was a rare treasure. And Feng Zixiao always liked to collect precious and rare trinkets.
However, Hai Ling's worries were unnecessary. Although the Crown Prince liked to collect antiques, he never accepted gifts from women and even disliked them.
Upon hearing Jiang Hailing's words, his disgust for her intensified. How could this woman be so hateful? He felt suffocated even when he was with her. Thinking this, the Crown Prince glared fiercely at Hailing, his gaze radiating cold light and chillingly menacing, before letting out a sinister voice.
"As the Crown Princess, how could you be so lacking in decorum and causing trouble? You should immediately return to your residence and reflect on your actions."

This is the second update today! I've received so many comments, votes, and flowers! Hehe.
Chapter 58 Rape Then Murder (Second Update)
Feng Zixiao suppressed his urge to immediately annul the engagement, repeatedly reminding himself that this woman was merely a pawn of their royal family. He would let her be happy for a few days, and once he had a handle on Jiang Batian and found evidence of his treason, he could issue an edict to eliminate the Jiang family, and then this woman would only have one way out: death.
Feng Zixiao felt a little better after thinking about it this way. After scolding Hailing, he didn't even look at the Zhenlong Chess in her hand, and walked out of the hall with a flick of his hand.
Upon hearing his words, Hai Ling quickly looked up, let out a long breath, smiled, and carefully put away the precious chess set in her hand.
Her actions were observed by the Left Prime Minister, Xi Lingfeng, who found them both infuriating and amusing. He understood why the girl had done such a thing. His dark eyes flashed with an unfathomable light, while a charming smile played on his lips, making him appear like a demon in the dark.
As soon as Hai Ling met his gaze, she looked up to meet it. She was stunned to see the vast expanse of color in his eyes, as beautiful as summer flowers. This man always seemed to amaze people. He was clearly an ordinary person, yet he didn't need to rely on his looks. Just his every move was stunning. Moreover, his eyes were extremely penetrating, as if he could see through the truth behind what she had done. Thinking this, Hai Ling felt a little uneasy. Fortunately, the man quickly turned his gaze away and followed behind Feng Zixiao.
Hailin had just breathed a sigh of relief when she saw another person looking over.
The seventh prince, Feng Zihe, and another was Yan Zhan, a scholar of the Inner Cabinet. As for the other charming man, she had never seen him before. When she saw this man, Hai Ling was stunned again. She had never seen a man who combined sunshine and charm. He was like a piece of warm jade. As long as you got close, you would feel the warmth of sunshine.
Who is he? He's with the Crown Prince and the Left Prime Minister, so he must be an extraordinary person. However, Hai Ling has never seen him before, so he probably isn't from the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Those people quickly left, and Hailing also got up and led Yanzhi, Agu, and the others out.
Behind her, two pairs of eyes were fixed on her; one was as ruthless as a wolf, while the other was unfathomable.
Ye Xiuying was the most ruthless and wolf-like of them all. When she saw that Hailing had not only obtained the Zhenlong Chess but also beaten her, she only wanted to tear this woman to pieces and then have a few men rape her in order to vent her anger.
The other pair of unfathomable eyes belonged to the handsome man who had set up the intricate chess game. He looked thoughtful, and when he saw Hai Ling walk out, he waved his hand to summon two subordinates. The three of them quickly left Lanxin Pavilion.
Ye Xiuying followed closely behind them and rushed out. After all these people left, Lanxin Pavilion became lively again, with all sorts of discussions.
Under the cover of night.
On the quiet street, shadowy figures moved slightly.
Someone was issuing orders; the voice was sharp and piercing.
"Go and assassinate that woman immediately. You must kill her."
The woman speaking was shrouded in shadow, but her voice was very familiar. It was Ye Xiuying, who had previously harassed Ye Xiuying in Lanxin Pavilion, and was now instructing the thugs raised by the Ye family.
"Yes, Miss, but she is protected by people from the Crown Prince's residence."
A group of thugs dressed in black spoke calmly from their leader.
Ye Xiuying's dark eyes were like a wolf's, shooting out a greenish light in the dark night. Her delicate face was twisted and ferocious as she spoke fiercely.
"Why don't you send a few men to distract the guards before you attack? Are you all brainless?"
"Yes, I will do it immediately."
The man accepted the order and dared not say anything more. Just as he was about to go and carry out the task, Ye Xiuying called out from behind him, "Wait a minute."
Everyone stood by, awaiting instructions. Ye Xiuying thought for a moment, then a cruel smile appeared on her lips: "Right, capture that woman, rape her first, then kill her. At least five men should rape her before killing her."
In the darkness, her words were chilling; even the thugs dared not respond, hanging their heads in silence.
"Didn't you hear me?"
Ye Xiuying shouted angrily, and the people were stunned for a moment. They dared not hesitate any longer and responded in unison, "Yes, Miss."
"Go, you can only succeed, failure is not an option. If you fail, do you know what to do?"
Ye Xiuying warned him bitterly that she would never leave any evidence against him or cause any trouble for the Ye family.
Behind each of these thugs is a large family. When the Ye family trains these thugs, they firmly control their families, providing them with ample food and clothing, keeping them in captivity, and making them willingly risk their lives for them. If these people fail to complete their missions, they face certain death.
A night breeze blew by, and the black-clad thugs all shivered, daring not to say anything more, their eyes gleaming with murderous intent.
They had no choice but to fight to the death, or else either they or their families would die. So they had no choice but to fight to the death.
"Go."
Ye Xiuying waved her hand, and all the thugs leaped away. She, who had been hiding in the shadows, finally stepped into the moonlight, gently stroking her cheek, a sinister smile on her lips. "Jiang Hailing, tonight is your death night. Did you think you were safe just because the Crown Prince's people were protecting you? Dare to provoke me, and I'll take your worthless life."
On a moonlit night, the sound of horses' hooves glided through the bustling streets, heading towards the Jiang residence.
The Jiang residence was quite far from Lanxin Pavilion, and it would be impossible to get there in a short time. So, Hailing closed her eyes to rest in the carriage, still tightly clutching the Zhenlong chess set she had won. She really liked this thing.
Rouge, standing to one side, looked at her mistress with a worried expression, opened her mouth as if to speak, but then hesitated.
