But Cheng Wan had already lost her mind and had no idea.

Just as she leaned forward to welcome the hairpin, Pei Yan stretched out his hand, and his slightly cold fingertips traced across the red mole between her eyebrows, causing a shiver.

Suddenly, a flash of murderous intent flashed through Pei Yan's eyes. He held a thin blade half the length of his hand in his right hand and wiped the hairpin's neck in an instant.

Yinghan's eyes widened, her pupils were dilated, and before she could even whimper, she fell backwards with a muffled sound.

Cheng Wan was so frightened that it took him a few seconds to react. He couldn't help but cover his lips and scream, but suddenly he met Pei Yan's eyes.

The fierceness in those eyes has not yet dissipated, and they are shining with gleaming light and shadow, like a wolf hunting on a snowy night.

She was so frightened that she suddenly stopped shouting and held her breath.

Pei Yan glanced at the dead hairpin on the ground, and his tone was calm and calm, as if he was talking in a normal way, without any consciousness that he had just killed a person.

"If she doesn't die, you will die. Do you think I did the right thing by killing her, huh?"

The man's final voice rose, but he unconsciously emphasized it.

Cheng Wan's body was shaking like a sieve, and even her consciousness was pulled away. She murmured: "Yes, yes, either she dies or I die. She is just a slave. She has only one life. How can she compare?"

Do you want me? I am, I am the daughter of the Minister of War, I am... the younger sister of the imperial concubine..."

"I'm very pleased that you think so."

A satisfied smile appeared on Pei Yan's face, and then he continued: "It's not over after she dies, you still have to do one more thing."

"What's up?"

Cheng Wan looked at him tremblingly, her limbs stiff and her voice trembling.

The dim candlelight reflected half of the man's face, and the lamplight burned in his eyes.

The corners of Pei Yan's lips were slightly folded, like a poisonous scorpion that had been hooked, glowing with a cold light. If you were not careful, you would be hooked by him and unable to escape.

With the man's words ringing in Cheng Wan's ears, she completely forgot how she walked out. Behind her, there were two boys carrying Yinghan's body, as if to remind her all the time.

If she didn't do what the man said, she would be the next one lying there.

Cheng Wan seemed to have lost his soul. When he got on the carriage, he accidentally tripped. When he came back to his senses, his whole body felt as if he had been poured with ice water. He felt that Pei Yan was as scary as the king of poisonous snakes.

If you are bitten by him, you will suffer the fate of having your blood and marrow sucked out.

What Cheng Wan didn't know was that after she left, another man walked out of the room. He had the same face as Pei Yan, but he respectfully saluted the sitting man and said in a careful tone: "Master."

The man chuckled lightly and reached out to touch his face: "I have used this human skin mask well. From now on, if I need to go out for a walk, I will just use your face."

Pei Yan didn't dare to raise his head, but secretly raised his eyes to glance at the man, and respectfully responded: "Yes."

Pursing his lips, Pei Yan spoke again: "Master, why do you want to save Miss Cheng's family?"

The man curled his lips, tilted his wrist, and poured out the tea in his hand. His voice was gentle and gentle: "Although she is stupid, fortunately she has the Cheng family and the noble concubine behind her."

After a pause, the corners of his lips raised even higher, but there was a layer of emotion in his eyes: "I also want to see how much affection the little princess has with Ning Huaizhao."

If Pei Yan really can't win over the Weiyuan Hou Mansion, then this power will not be retained. He doesn't like making wedding clothes for others.

Pei Yan glanced at the elegant and frail man in front of him, and felt a chill running down his back. He bowed his head respectfully and stopped talking.

In the early morning of the next day, Chi Wanyue slowly woke up. She didn't see Ning Huaizhao, so she got out of bed and walked out.

Skylark was sitting at the door taking a nap, with a washbasin and towel beside him.

Chi Wanyue walked up and patted her shoulder.

Yunque suddenly woke up from her sleep, turned to look at her, with joy on her face: "Princess Princess."

"Princess, are you okay? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

"I'm fine, but you were kidnapped last night. Were you injured?"

Yunque quickly shook his head: "Don't worry, Princess, I'm fine."

"That's good."

"Princess, please wash up first."

Skylark picked up the washbasin on the ground and looked up at Chi Wanyue.

Not seeing Ning Huaizhao's figure, Chi Wanyue nodded, turned around and walked in.

Chi Wanyue looked up at Yunque and suddenly asked: "Yunque, what does the man who came to deliver the message yesterday look like? Do you still remember?"

After what happened yesterday, Yunque knew that it must have been set up.

After thinking about it carefully, Yunque shook his head and said, "It just looks ordinary, nothing special."

Chi Wanyue frowned.

Yunque suddenly remembered something and was startled.

"By the way, Princess, I have remembered it. When I went outside yesterday, I bumped into the second young lady. She was sneaky, but I don't know if it has anything to do with her."

Chi Wanyue's eyes flashed with coldness: "I know, let's pack up and go back to the Hou Mansion first."

"yes."

After washing up, Chi Wanyue left the courtyard. There was no one along the way. The guards were all hidden and lurking throughout the palace. Only the martial arts training ground could hear bursts of slogans and cheers.

Chi Wanyue couldn't help but walk towards the martial arts training ground.

I thought I could see Ning Huaizhao there, but I missed it.

Just as Chi Wanyue was about to turn around and leave, she suddenly heard one of the guards speaking. His voice was rough and loud, just like beating gongs and drums.

"Have you heard? Last night, our prince spent the night in the princess's room."

This was good, the guards stopped practicing martial arts and all swarmed around the man, chatting and gossiping.

"Really? Have you seen it with your own eyes?"

"That's natural. If you lose the bet, give me money."

"Hey, I haven't verified this yet."

"You little brat, you don't want to default on your debt, do you?"

Chi Wanyue raised her eyebrows, it turned out that she was betting on them.

As he stepped forward, a female voice reached the guard's ears, clear and bright.

"What's the stakes?"

The guard didn't realize it was her, so he reflexively said, "What else could it be? Of course it's to see if our prince has slept with the little princess."

As he spoke, he turned around and looked over, only to realize that it was Chi Wanyue.

The expressions of all the guards changed, and they quickly raised their hands and saluted: "I have met the little princess."

Chi Wanyue put her hands behind her back and walked slowly in front of everyone.

"Get up and tell me which of you won the bet."

The guards looked at each other, but no one dared to get up. They quickly apologized: "It was us who were rude. Please forgive me, Princess."

"What do you say when I ask a question? If I am satisfied, I won't argue with you."

How dare the guards not respond at this moment?
