Jiang Hailing, he actually liked that chubby little girl. Yes, at first he was only interested in her, but as he got to know her better, he became more and more attracted to her.
Today is her wedding day, so he was in a bad mood last night. Knowing the situation of the wedding, he went to see her overnight. Seeing her dejected state, he felt a pang of pity and wanted to beat Feng Zixiao up several times. It turned out that this was all because he liked that girl. So how could he allow anyone else to touch the person he liked?
In an instant, he exuded a Satanic arrogance and domineering charisma, cold and ruthless.
Knowing that he had understood her feelings, Shen Ruoxuan, unafraid of death, blurted out, "Should we go and snatch the Crown Princess back?"
"No need, I will send people to protect her. Right now, she is safest at the Crown Prince's residence."
"Safety?"
Shen Ruoxuan raised an eyebrow, somewhat disagreeing. The Crown Prince's residence was a den of wolves and tigers. That woman had fallen into such a den, and he actually said she was safe? He was blatantly lying: "Don't forget that the women in the Crown Prince's residence are all like wolves and tigers. None of them are easy to deal with."
"Do you think the woman I've set my sights on would be so useless?"
Xi Lingfeng glared coldly at Shen Ruoxuan, his expression chilling and gloomy. If Shen Ruoxuan dared to utter a single word, he would probably be instantly killed. So, as clever as Shen Ruoxuan was, he quickly shook his head: "That's right, that's right. How could the woman you've chosen be so useless? She must be an unparalleled beauty, a rare breed on earth."
"Right now, I need to find out what the relationship is between Sima Yuan and my mother. Once I've resolved these matters, I'll take her away. For now, let her play around in the Crown Prince's residence. Those women are good toys too."
Shen Ruoxuan opened his mouth and forgot to close it. He wondered if Feng Zixiao would be so angry that he would vomit blood if he knew that his woman was being treated like a toy.
And the fact that it was a toy for Jiang Hailing to play with makes it even more frustrating.
"Since you've already made up your mind, I won't say anything more."
Shen Ruoxuan spoke politely.
Xi Lingfeng ignored her and turned to the door, ordering, "Shimei, Shilan, come in."
His two stunningly beautiful maids entered briskly, bowing their heads respectfully: "Master."
"Go to the Crown Prince's residence immediately to protect the Crown Princess. Also, notify me of any further developments."
"Yes, Master."
Two voices rang out at the same time. They exchanged a quiet glance, puzzled. Why would their master send them to protect the Crown Princess when she was already in the Crown Prince's residence?
Shi Mei caught a glimpse of Shen Ruoxuan's wicked smile out of the corner of her eye, and understood immediately. This damned guy must know why his master would do such a thing. Although she was thinking this, she did not dare to be negligent and immediately retreated.
The two had just reached the door when they heard Xi Lingfeng utter another remark.
"Be careful not to let her find out."
"yes."
This was even stranger. The master, who was usually so cold, had surprisingly softened his tone when he spoke just now. Shi Mei and Shi Lan were shocked and left the room.
The full moon receded, and the night became pitch black.
As Shen Ruoxuan left Xi Lingfeng's room and turned a corner, two sharp sounds rang out, and a gleaming silver object shot towards his face. He dodged it and caught the flying object with his hand; it turned out to be a precious sword.
He gripped his sword in one hand, leaning half his body against a pillar with an air of nonchalance, watching the two figures emerge from the shadows, and spoke with a wicked smile.
"Little Mei'er, you're trying to kill me! How could you bear to kill such a handsome and charming man, loved by everyone and adored by flowers?"
Shi Mei and Shi Lan had been hiding in the shadows waiting for him. They didn't beat around the bush with him at this moment. Shi Mei had a cold and stern face.
"Tell me, what did you say to our master? Why did he send us to protect the Crown Princess?"
They simply couldn't understand why their master wanted them to protect that woman. Before, when she was in the General's Mansion, it was because they were afraid someone would harm her. Now that she was in the Crown Prince's Mansion, did someone really want to go there to assassinate her? Even if someone did try to assassinate her there, it was the Crown Prince's business, and what did it have to do with their Prime Minister's Mansion?
"Little Mei'er, you should ask your master about this. Why are you asking me? Do you think I'm easy to bully?"
Ignoring Shi Mei's cold and beautiful face, Shen Ruoxuan playfully teased her.
Shi Mei's face grew increasingly grim. She wanted to lash out, but fearing to disturb her master, she had no choice but to hold back.
Looking at her, Shen Ruoxuan's smile widened: "Little Mei'er, this really isn't my business, it's your master's business. Why don't you go ask him?"
Shi Mei spat at him. If she had a way to ask her master, would she still be hiding here with Shi Lan to catch him?
"Are you going to tell me or not?"
Shen Ruoxuan yawned, tossed the silver sword over, and Shi Mei caught it. Shen Ruoxuan's body disappeared into the night like lightning. Shi Mei stomped her foot in anger, saying, "He actually got away!"
"Let's go quickly. Since the master has ordered us to protect the Crown Princess, we can't afford to take responsibility if anything happens to her."
Shi Lan was beautiful and gentle, unlike Shi Mei who was cunning and aloof.
The two left the Prime Minister's residence one after the other, heading to the Crown Prince's residence to protect the Crown Princess.
The night of the Black Demon passed, and dawn broke.
In the most secluded courtyard of the Crown Prince's residence, lively voices suddenly rang out.
Inside the room, Hailin was sleeping soundly, unaware of her surroundings. She had drunk some alcohol the night before, so she was fast asleep.
Suddenly, she heard a loud, incessant noise outside, which severely disrupted her sleep.
In her drowsy state, she couldn't help but ask while holding the thin quilt, "Rouge, what's all the noise about? Who's making a ruckus here?"
However, no one paid any attention to her. Rouge wasn't in the room; she was outside stopping the women who were chatting noisily. They were all dressed in colorful clothes, charming and alluring, laughing and joking, occasionally fanning themselves with their eight-treasure fans, clearly in a good mood.
Rouge looked distressed and said helplessly, "Ladies, you should go back. My young lady hasn't woken up yet. I'll tell my master that you ladies have already come."
As soon as Rouge finished speaking, one of the women in the group chuckled and then spoke with a hint of mockery.
"Does he really think he's the master of the Crown Prince's residence?"
