Chapter 22: Rebirth of a Plan

  "Royal physician, how is he? If anything happens to him, I'll kill you." Beitang Xiner drew out a gleaming long sword and pressed it against the old royal physician's neck, who was already over fifty years old. If she moved any closer, blood would splatter everywhere.

  Baili Changjian's gentle expression could no longer be maintained, his face darkened as he looked at the imperial physician and said in a cold voice, "How is Ling Wang's injury?" Half an hour ago, the painting boat was still filled with laughter and music, but now only a few people were left, and the atmosphere had already dropped to freezing point.

  Jing Chang furrowed his brow, only the position where he was standing clearly witnessed the entire process of Zhang Xiao's sword injury, what surprised him was not only Leng Ziyue's indifference, but also her movements.

  They used to be so in love, even if Zhang Xiao had to marry the fourth princess of Beihanguo and divorce Leng Zhiyue before marrying her, their feelings should still be there. Witnessing Zhang Xiao being injured by a sword for her, Leng Zhiyue could remain unmoved, with a look of disgust in those clear and bright eyes.

  Her shrinking movement was even more worried that Zhang Xiao's blood had stained her skirt.

  Is this really still the same her as before?

  The few people who made the move were obviously well-trained killers, they were all fugitives, and for the first time, Jing Changke saw that the killer had a fearful look in his eyes when he met Shang Lengyue's gaze with warning meaning.

  "Thanks to the timely administration of hemostatic medicine and not moving Ling Wang's body, there is no major problem now. With a little rest, I will prescribe some more medicine for him to take, and he will recover in no time." The old imperial physician trembled with fear as he replied, his hands shaking so badly that it was a wonder he could write the prescription at all.

  It's been said by colleagues at Tai Hospital that the Fourth Princess of Beihanguo has a bad temper and is not someone to be trifled with. Now he's learned his lesson. She's always threatening to kill people, whoever marries such a woman will be unlucky.

  "What are you still doing here, go decoct the medicine! Scram!" Beitang Xiner's stone in her heart finally fell to the ground. Her beautiful face, because of her soaring anger, didn't look lovely and charming at all, but instead made people want to flee after just one glance.

  Even the most beautiful woman, when angry, is comparable to a dinosaur.

  "Yes...yes...I'll go right away..." The old imperial physician hastily retreated from the cabin, his head hung low.

  Baili Changjian's gaze returned from Beidong Xiner, she was concerned that Zhang Xiao would also prove that their cooperation still had something to discuss, but Zhang Xiao's move to block the sword for Leng Ziyue might not be so easy to calm down.

  "Fourth Princess, I will escort you back to the Ling King's mansion safely, you can rest assured." North Tang Xiner had a motive to get rid of Leng Ziyue, and it was not impossible that she would hire an assassin; The three sisters of the Leng family hated Leng Ziyue to the bone, but they did not have the guts to commit murder openly in front of so many people; Arranging for an assassin to kill Leng Ziyue and test Zhang Xiao was a plan to kill two birds with one stone, and the biggest beneficiary was his third brother, Baili Hongfeng, who had always liked to oppose him.

  His mind was filled with thoughts of revenge, and the mere mention of Zhang Xiao's name made him clench his teeth in anger. If Zhang Xiao were to die while saving Leng Xueyu, he would not only lose a valuable ally but also forfeit his alliance with Bei Tang Xin'er.

  Ba Li Hong Feng, your plan is so poisonous, no matter how things develop, you won't suffer any losses.

  The most hateful thing is that Leng Ziyue woman, she actually provoked Beidong Xiner, implying that the assassin was arranged by Beidong Xiner. He can only hope that Zhang Xiao didn't hear their conversation, or things will be very troublesome to deal with.

  "Long Sword, in my opinion, you escort the Fourth Princess back to the Imperial Palace, and I'll take care of escorting Zhang Xiao back to the Ling Wang Fu." Jing Changke said firmly after taking a look at Zhang Xiao's face which had already regained its blood color.

  Leng Xueyu didn't care about Zhang Xiao's life or death, but she left behind a hemostatic medicine to save his life. What was she thinking? Or what kind of plan did she have?

  How transparent a person is, yet their thoughts are so difficult to guess.

  "Never mind, I'll return to the palace myself. You can just send him back to the Ling Wang Fu." Beitang Xiner felt that as a high and mighty princess, she had already been more than generous and accommodating towards Zhang Xiao, an outsider king, yet he still couldn't put her in the most important position in his heart, which was truly a great shame for her.

  Leng Xueyue, she will definitely not let her off.

  Since Zhuque Tai can't kill her by throwing her down, she will personally send her to hell.

  "In that case, I'll take my leave first." Baili Changjian called over the guards and carefully moved Zhang Xiao's body back to the Ling King's residence.

  Jing Changke followed behind, walking out of the cabin without looking back. He didn't think that the fourth princess, who was extremely possessive and jealous, would let Leng Ziyue go so easily.

  I don't know what other good shows are waiting for him in the future, but he is really looking forward to it.

  "Your Majesty, I hope you can give me an explanation for the assassins that appeared today." Beidong Xiner said with her back to Baili Changjian. She thought that Leng Ziyue would not appear in front of her and Zhang Xiao again even if she didn't die, but unexpectedly, not only was she still alive, but it seemed like she had become a different person.

  The stronger the opponent, the more interesting it will be, isn't it?

  "Don't worry, Fourth Princess. I have my own way of handling things." Ba Li Chang Jian furrowed his brow and looked at Jing Chang Ke behind him, "I need to talk to you about something. After sending Xiao back to the manor, come see me."

  Bei Tang Xin Er's words clearly told him that these assassins had nothing to do with her, and the people he suspected of possibly taking action were already ruled out.

  The last one left is also the most dangerous one.

  It's hard to find evidence of his existence, but we have no choice but to try.

  "Good." Jing Chang Ke nodded calmly, his eyes flashing with a hint of something hidden, but it was gone in an instant.

  A chaotic cabin, shattered objects, one by one stimulating Beidong Xiner's nerves. What was supposed to be a great opportunity for her and Zhang Xiao to cultivate their feelings during the Qixi Festival ended up almost suffocating her. How infuriating.

  "In the beginning of the first month, Leng Xueyu must be eliminated. Do you have any good ideas?" Seated in a chair, Bei Tang Xin'er stared tightly at the maid on her right side.

  "Your Highness, your wedding with King Ling is approaching, why not...?" Chu Yi had been by Beidong Xiner's side since childhood, growing up in the inner courtyard of the imperial palace. She was a palace maid personally trained by Xin Guifei to protect Beidong Xiner.

  A girl in a green dress, typical of a maid's attire, stepped forward two steps and said: "Your Highness, can't we send an assassin to kill her, or can't we use the law to punish her?"

  As long as a trap is carefully set up at the banquet in the palace, I'm afraid it's not difficult to get rid of a small and weak Cui Zhiyue, just like what happened on Zhuque Platform that day.

  "Hehe, no wonder you're the maid Mother Empress trained for me. You're indeed clever. After this is over, I'll reward you handsomely." Beitang Xiner was truly furious. She could use her own wedding to Zhang Xiao to kill off Leng Ziyue and see if she could still turn things around.

  Whether it's Qi Yue Country's law or Bei Han Country's law, she will always be able to grasp one of them.

  If one plan doesn't work, she can prepare a second one, until she gets herself killed.

  、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、

  "Miss, have you caught a chill?" Huah asked anxiously as soon as she heard Leng Ziyue sneeze while carrying some pastries to the door.

  Leng Xueyu touched her nose, shrugged and said: "I'm fine, don't worry about me." Her body was good, how could she catch a cold so easily? It's probably someone behind her back scolding her, framing her.

  "Oh, miss, try the pastry I just made and see how it tastes?" Now she would no longer be bullied, and Huā could enter the main kitchen to personally make food for Lěng Zǐ Yuè, looking especially happy.

  "Uh-huh." Leng Xueyu put down the book in her hand, picked up a decent-looking pastry and took a light bite, raising an eyebrow. "It's not bad." "Hua'er, I'm going to the palace tomorrow, get my clothes ready, don't be careless."

  Only heaven knows what that old witch of an empress dowager wants from her, only after entering the palace can one get to the bottom of it, for now it's better to take advantage of the opportunity to rest and cultivate one's spirit.

  "Don't worry, Miss. I'll definitely make proper arrangements." Huahua nodded like a little chick pecking at grain and quickly ran off. In her heart, the Empress Dowager was a kind person, so she must be looking for her mistress for something good.

  Watching that innocent girl run away, Leng Xueyu's eyes finally turned deep and icy. A woman who has been in a high position in the imperial palace for a long time, how could she be a thrifty lamp?

  Her hands have stained with the blood of countless people to achieve her current status.

  She just hopes Hua'er will always be by her side, forever remaining so innocent.

  The sunset outside the window is like blood, and who knows what tomorrow will bring.
