ed let out a wry smile, "Thank you, King of Beijiang, for your concern. I was ambushed some time ago and was stabbed in the abdomen. This injury has been recurring and hasn't healed yet."A knife in th...Shuangshuang must have been thinking that getting close to Xiaoqin might be helpful, so she set her sights on the two young masters of the Anle Houfu.

He/She aims to achieve his/her goals through this.

She nodded to Xiaoqin and whispered, “Just now Shuangshuang also said that she wanted to see our princess. I think they want to hold the two young masters of Anle Houfu hostage in order to force our princess to appear.”

Ye Er and Xiao Qin knew that the Princess of Beijiang had already left the capital.

Even if An Xuetang didn't want anyone to get hurt, she couldn't just follow Shuangshuang's wishes and suddenly appear right now.

When the Northern Frontier Princess left the capital, she chose the day when Xiao Qin and Ye Ercheng got married to conceal her departure amidst the chaos.

Through this incident, Ye Er and Xiao Qin understood that the Princess of Beijang did not want people in the capital to know that she was not at the palace right now.

This is not a condition that can be agreed to at all.

But if the Northern Frontier Princess never shows up, wouldn't this madman Shuangshuang really kill both young masters of Anle Hou Mansion

Thinking of this, Xiaoqin's body tensed up, her hands clenched into fists, and she looked at Ye Er beside her with a pleading gaze.

Although she had a disagreement with her own mother, her relationship with her natal family, the Anle Houfu, hadn't been good these days.

But after all, the two people standing not far away were her elder brother.

And how could she bear to watch them die at the gates of the palace, when her elder brothers had always taken such good care of her since childhood

But the princess is not at the manor. How could she appear

The situation is at a stalemate now. What can we do

Ye Er naturally thought of this as well. He comforted her by raising his hand to hold Xiao Qin's shoulders, leaning down and whispering in her ear:

"My Lady, there is no need to worry. Her purpose is to see the Princess of Beijiang, and these people she brought are no match for Yun Si and Ning'er."

"If they really dared to lay a hand on the two elder brothers, none of them would be able to leave this place alive. Even for their own survival, they wouldn't dare to act rashly, so don't worry too much."

On second thought, there's some truth to what Ye Er said.

After all, Shuangshuang only brought a few people this time. If she really decided to take action, after killing Xiaoqin's two older brothers, Shuangshuang and her group would definitely not be able to escape.

So, they shouldn't kill the hostages.

Ke Xiaoqin wanted to come back, Shuangshuang's purpose was so strong, even if she didn't kill her two older brothers, she would definitely torture them until they were unrecognizable.

The more she thought about it, the harder it became for Xiaoqin to calm her mind.

Perhaps sensing her body stiffness and the fear in her heart, Ye Er tightened his embrace around her. "Don't worry, believe in me."

As expected, after his soothing words, Xiaoqin's tension eased. However, her gaze still lingered on her two elder brothers.

Xiaojia's older brother saw his younger sister appear here in the middle of the night and immediately shook his head at her, raising his voice to shout, "Qin'er, what are you doing here Go back quickly."

He and his brother were arrested, at first he didn't know why.

But after being tied up and brought to the gate of Bei Jiang Wangfu, listening to their conversation, he had already guessed one or two things.

It seems someone is trying to force the Northern Frontier Princess to appear by using him and his brother.

Since the King of Beijang left the capital, the Princess Consort of Beijang has hardly left the Beijang Prince's Mansion.

The defense of the Beijang Royal Manor was extremely formidable, like an impenetrable copper wall and iron gate. No matter how many people tried to break in, they were powerless to do so.

Therefore, those who wanted to harm the Princess of Beijang had no opportunity. So they tried every means to lure her out of the palace.

After he and his younger brother returned to Beijing, they had already heard quite a few news.

Since the King of the Northern Border left the capital, both the restless members of the imperial family in the capital and the martial arts practitioners in the world want to break into the Prince's Mansion of the Northern Border and seize the Princess Consort.

Those who kidnapped him and his brother tonight must have been desperate, unable to find solutions elsewhere so they resorted to exploiting any weaknesses they could find in him and his brother.

He and his younger brother were able to return to the capital city, all thanks to Xiao Qin's efforts.

Right now, for his and his younger brother's safety, Xiao Qin took the risk to come. As an older brother, he really feels guilty about this.

Hearing his words, Xiaoqin shook her head, "Big brother, I'm sorry."

"Silly girl, what are you apologizing for This has nothing to do with you. Be good and listen to your big brother. Just leave here quickly."

"That's right, you silly girl, what are you apologizing for" Second Brother Xiao also quickly spoke up. "Qiner, don't overthink it. Quickly follow Lord Ye back to the mansion. This place isn't where you belong, go back. Big brother and Second Brother will be fine."

"Well, well," Shuangshuang couldn't help but sneer as she listened to their tender words. "Such a deep sibling bond, truly touching."

Xiao Qin looked at her, "Shuangshuang, what do you really want My two older brothers and the princess of Beijang don't even know each other, how could she come to see you, this vicious white-eyed wolf"

In her eyes, Shuangshuang was just a white-eyed wolf.

She deliberately got close to the princess of Beijang, making everyone in the Beijang王府 treat her so well, as if she were the mistress of the palace.

In the end, she discovered that it had all been her deception.

So she's a real ingrate.

And even after seeing through Shuangshuang's identity and knowing that everything was a lie, the Beijiang Princess ultimately spared her life.

Otherwise, with Shuangshuang's abilities, do you really think she could safely leave the gates of the Beijang Prince's Mansion

The death of the lamplighter was a lesson from the Princess, a reminder that going against the Northern Border Wangfu would have dire consequences.

At first, the Queen allowed Ming Deng to die at the gate of Bei Jiang Wangfu, but spared Shuang Shuang because the Queen had a soft heart and felt affection for her.

For the sake of her being just a teenager, I spared her life.

To my surprise, she wasn't satisfied and even dared to come back repeatedly to cause trouble.

People like Shuangshuang are complete ingrates.

As for Xiao Qin's words, Shuangshuang couldn't care less; she didn't mind what others thought of her.

Ever since the departure of the Prince’s Household from Beijang, she had forced herself to stop reminiscing about her life there.

Whenever she thinks about it, it makes her mind race.

During those few months she spent at the Beijang Prince's Mansion, she truly lived a comfortable life. She received great care and a great deal of genuine affection and concern.

The light that nurtured her to adulthood was the most beloved person in her life, a father figure. To think that Ming Deng died at the gate of the Bei Jiang Wangfu because of her, and the murderer was from the Bei Jiang Wangfu itself, how could she possibly remain calm

To her, the lighthouse was like her father. When her mother abandoned her and prepared to kill her, it was the lighthouse that saved her and raised her.

So the Beijiang Royal Manor was her father's murderer.

She won't let anyone in Beijiang Palace get away.

No matter how sincere An Xuetang had been to her in the past, she had to make An Xuetang pay the price for Ming Deng's death.heart clenched instantly. She stared at An Xue Tang in disbelief, "You...you poisoned me"An Xue Tang chuckled, "This poison... didn't you put it yourself"Liu Lan's eyes widened, her trembling fingers...
