Calling out to her, Ye Ke Mei turned around to look at Xiang He and asked with furrowed brows, "Does Miss need something?"
The incense was poured into the Wind and Rain Tower, but there had never been a man who looked at her with such annoyance before. Night Ke Mei's gaze was like a stone that was fiercely thrown into the lake, creating layers of ripples.
But... He was a man with a wife, and of course she could not be his princess — whether he loved her or not.
She was already a broken flower, and there was no man in the world worth entrusting to. The flames of love that had just been ignited had been doused with a bucket of cold water. She was no longer worthy of being loved.
"Nothing." Xiang He just blankly answered the question that deserved a beating. It wasn't that she didn't have hope in her heart, but so what? Hadn't she learned enough? Xiang He lowered her head and laughed self-deprecatingly. Not everyone would have such a good life. To be able to become an imperial concubine, even if someone was willing to redeem her, she would still be grateful.
Night Demon felt as if she was being toyed with. She glared at Xiang He, but was attracted by her sad expression. In order to express her disdain, she coldly snorted and left the Wind and Rain Tower. Seeing that the Fourth Prince had left, Ye Langmei thought that she had done enough and was not in the mood to stay. It was time for her to return to the Mansion.
Ye Langmei put down a gold ingot, pushed Susu away from her arms and left the Wind and Rain Tower.
The Wind and Rain Tower was not far from the Prince's Mansion. They were only separated by an alley and could walk back and forth in less than half an incense's time.
Before he even returned to the manor, Ye Langmei saw his advisor standing outside the gate from afar. She did not know what had happened and it caused the usually calm and composed people to become anxious as they paced back and forth outside the gate.
Could it be that there was an accident? Ye Langmei's heart tightened as she hurried forward and asked, "What happened?"
When the advisor saw that Ye Langmei had returned, he said with a dark expression, "Your Royal Highness, something has happened."
What was there to be afraid of? Ye Lianmei looked around the mansion but was not able to hear anything. She gave her strategists a look and the two of them entered the mansion. After confirming that no one was around, she asked: "What happened? Did you not succeed?"
The advisor nodded and shook his head. He couldn't express his thoughts clearly in a few sentences, so he could only give a general idea. "The assassin that was sent was captured. I heard that he was taken away by the Ninth Prince's personal guard."
"Hmm?" Ye Langmei found it hard to believe. Her face was ashen. It was truly impossible for a person to be as good as the heavens.
"What about the life of the little devil?" He had many wives and concubines, but none of them gave him a son. What was the use of having all these daughters, so he couldn't bear to see anyone give birth to a son. Ye Jiumei was just a cripple, so how could she have a son?
The advisor was somewhat afraid of the malevolent Ye Langmei and couldn't help but take a few steps back, pulling away from her. Although the person in front of him was generous, his personality was dark and hard to guess. When he got angry, he would have the ability to destroy heaven and earth. Anyone who didn't like him would be affected.
"Your Highness, that vile spawn is still alive. Ninth Prince has brought him back to the Ninth Prince's Mansion." Even though he was afraid, he still had to answer the questions that he should answer.
After the advisor finished talking, he retreated a few steps, secretly observing Ye Langmei's expression with trepidation.
"Still alive?" Ye Lang Mei was so angry that she did not get angry and instead laughed. She stared at the advisor and coldly said, "This is the expert you spoke of. He can't even f * cking kill a suckling brat. When I used this king's secret guard, how could I have left a tail for others to catch? Now, the expert you are talking about has taken This King's money and has caused This King to suffer a lot of sh * t. What about the hidden guards? Did they leave any survivors and kill that useless trash who couldn't even kill the milk baby? "
In just a few seconds, Ye Langmei pointed at her advisor's face and let out a roar. She then released all of the anger and resentment in her heart into a forceful roar.
The advisor was so badly scolded that he didn't even dare to utter half a word, not to mention answering the question about the hidden guards. That would only make people even more mad and might even end his life with a single slash. In order to protect herself, he could only lower his head and wait for Ye Langmei to calm down.
After a series of roars, Ye Langmei slowly calmed down and said with a headache, "That trash cannot be left alive. And the hidden guards that have been sent, tell them to come over and speak. "
"Prince …" The advisor did not know whether or not he should tell the truth about the death of the hidden guards, frowning and hesitating.
"Speak!" What else could he not accept? Ye Langmei laughed at herself.
The Prince seemed to have gone mad with anger. The advisor was frightened by Ye Langmei's smile and backed off until he thought he was wearing a safety belt. He said with a lack of confidence, "The hidden guards that have been sent … "All dead."
"Dead?" He was well aware of the strength of the guards around Ye Jiumei. Each of them had strong martial arts skills, and they were absolutely loyal to their master. However, his hidden guard martial arts were not weak either. In order to not leak any information, he sent two hidden guards to take the lives of the assassins.
He didn't expect that he would be defeated by the Ice Guard, so his eyes flashed with a cold light. Why was he inferior to everyone else? He was the direct descendant of the Emperor.
It seemed that he had underestimated Ninth Brother, the normally unremarkable man had actually become his greatest threat in the struggle for power.
"Any news about that assassin from the undercover team of the Ninth Prince's Mansion?" Ye Langmei had never left any clues behind when she did things. In order to assassinate those who failed, she must die.
"I've asked, but I haven't been able to find anything." The advisor was troubled, and sullenly wondered where the Twelve had taken him.
"There's no need to think about it further. Send people to kill him, don't leave him alive." Ye Langmei was not stupid. In his eyes, Ninth Brother had changed after returning to the capital. She had endured for so many years before revealing her fox tail. Was this all due to Little Fishy? Hmph, that woman was what he wanted even more. He must first rape her before killing her in order to dispel the hatred in his heart.
The most important thing right now was to not let the assassin bite him back. He was not worried about being found out by Night Nine, as long as it did not go to his father, the divine horses would be like floating clouds.
On a whim, Little Fishy wanted to show off her unique skills. Naturally, at night, Little Fishy was obedient to her. She busied herself, finished her work, and brought a table full of finished products in front of her as if she was offering a treasure.
Nine Night Demon was resting in the courtyard when she saw from afar that she was busy setting up the dishes with Xiao Hong. She was holding the child in her arms and was talking with a bitter face, and she could faintly hear the sound of little Nezha's sobbing. It was very weak, it must have hurt her throat after crying for a long time.
Night Nine wasn't happy. She stared at the six catties. How could this brat hug a child and make people cry like this?
Seeing his displeasure, Nezha raised his head to look at the direction of the voice. His hearing was much better than Ye Jiumei's, so he could hear little Nezha's crying even more clearly than she could. Knowing what the Prince was angry about, he quickly pushed the wheelchair into the inner courtyard.
