“Even if you aren’t afraid of Xiao Nanye, killing would bring unnecessary trouble to you, wouldn’t it? Why would you do this…”

“Enough!”

The man interrupted Jiang Peihuan and coldly said, “If there’s anyone to bla, bla yourself for offending soone you shouldn’t have.”

“Enjoy the little ti you have left.”

With that, the man left.

Jiang Peihuan was left with a look of confusion.

Who had she offended?

She could only think of a few people she might have wronged.

In the capital.

In the Prince Qing Mansion.

“Miss, a letter for you.”

Standing by the window, Lin ngyao turned around upon hearing her maid’s voice. She took the letter and quickly read through it. Her eyes lit up with excitent.

After reading, Lin ngyao burned the letter.

Without Jiang Peihuan, everything she lost would be returned to her.

“Your Highness?”

As she was lost in her thoughts, she heard the maid announce a visitor. Lin ngyao quickly composed herself and greeted the approaching figure, “Greetings, Your Highness.”

“Rise.”

“What are you burning?”

Upon entering, Xiao Junhao noticed the sll of burning paper. He saw the ashes on the floor.

“It was just a poem 1 had written. 1 didn’t like it, so 1 burned it.”

Xiao Junhao gave a slight nod and didn’t press further. He reached out, and Lin ngyao obediently placed her hand in his. But she didn’t feel the warmth she once did.

“I heard that the main princess consort has been giving you trouble recently.”

Lin ngyao’s eyes flashed when she heard Xiao Junhao’s words. Then, she laughed softly.” Your Highness must be joking. Why would the main princess consort cause trouble for ?”

“As long as you’re not troubled, that’s good.”

Seeing her smile, Xiao Junhao whispered. But beneath that smile, Lin ngyao’s heart turned cold.

This was the Prince Qing Mansion. Lin ngyao didn’t believe that Xiao Junhao wasn’t aware of what Jiang Yan had done to her.

However, he chose not to act.

Lin ngyao looked at the man beside her. She always believed he was different and genuinely loved her. But now, she doubted those feelings.

Does he truly love her?

“Yao Er, right now, 1 need the main Princess Consort’s assistance. So things may inconvenience you. But rest assured, when I ascend to power one day, everything that belongs to you, 1’11 ensure it’s returned.”

“I understand, Your Highness.”

Lin ngyao responded, feigning gratitude, her eyes filled with appreciation.

Seeing her expression, Xiao Junhao’s eyes softened.

Holding Lin ngyao’s hand gently, he spoke, “1 ca today because there’s a matter I want to discuss with you.”

“If your highness needs Yao Er to do anything, just give the word.”

“I want you to return to the Lin Mansion.”

eting Lin ngyao’s puzzled gaze, Xiao Junhao continued, “Even if you and Lin Xingchen aren’t close, you are still family.”

“ngyao, Lin Xingchen is currently trusted deeply by the Emperor. 1 hope you can find a way to bring him to our side.”

“Your Highness, I understand. 1 will find a way.”

“Yao Er, thank you for your effort.”

“Serving Your Highness is my duty,” Lin ngyao replied, smiling at the ashes on the floor.

Lin ngyao said with a smile as she looked at the ashes on the ground.

In An Zhou, the basent.

If Jiang Peihuan was previously unsure of what the man ant, the rising water in the dungeon made it clear.

Han Feng’s eyes were filled with panic at the sight.

He could endure any form of torture, but he was deeply worried about the child inside Jiang Peihuan’s belly.

The child in her belly was less than three months old. If it was soaked in water for a long ti, sothing would definitely happen to the child.

At this mont, Han Feng had already untied the rope on his hand.

He approached Jiang Peihuan, “My Queen, let untie you.”

After helping Jiang Peihuan untie the rope, Han Feng wanted to push the door in front of him.

However, no matter how hard he tried, the wooden door did not budge.

However, the water level in the basent kept rising, and soon, it reached knee level.

“Han Feng, stop wasting your energy. We can’t open that door,” Jiang Peihuan whispered.

“But what should we do? If this continues, the child inside you will be in danger.”

“Stay calm.”

Jiang Peihuan tried to remain composed.

At this juncture, Han Feng suddenly suggested, “My Queen, please sit on my shoulders.”

At this mont, the water level had already reached his waist.

Seeing her hesitation, Han Feng quickly added, “For the sake of the little one inside you. 1 believe the master will co to our aid soon.”

It was the only option left.

Jiang Peihuan then climbed onto Han Feng’s shoulders.

Han Feng stood in a corner of the room, providing him with a point of support. With Jiang Peihuan leaning against the wall, both were relatively more comfortable.

Two hours later, the water had risen to I Ian Feng’s chest.

From the doorway, they then heard the voice of a child, “You seem quite loyal to Xiao Nanye.”

When the strange man saw this scene, displayed a hint of surprise in his eyes. However, this was quickly followed by a mocking laughter.

Han Feng remained silent.

His acupoints had been sealed, leaving him almost devoid of strength.

While Jiang Peihuan wasn’t heavy, maintaining the sa posture for such an extended period had taken its toll on Han Feng.

Upon hearing the man’s words, Jiang Peihuan suddenly laughed, “Sir, have you ever considered that you might be used by soone?”

“While I may not know who I’ve offended, they approached you to kill . They never considered the trouble it might cause you. Would you still risk your life for them?”

“Young lady, you’re quite sharp-tongued for your age.”

The man, who previously wore a smile, turned somber after hearing Jiang Peihuan’s words. His gaze was as cold as a venomous snake.

Upon seeing a part of a handkerchief peeking out from his chest, Jiang Peihuan continued, “If I’m not mistaken, the person might be a woman you’re fond of, right?”

“My junior sister said you were very clever. I didn’t believe her before, but now

I do..”
