She seemed to have completely lost her composure as she muttered, "Impossible, how is this possible …"

Li Yue pricked his ears and asked, "Huh? What did you say? "

Ling'er's countenance flickered for a moment before returning to her usual self. With a bitter smile, she replied, "Nothing much, I just found it strange."

"What's strange?" Li Yue's brows furrowed as he asked.

Jingjing said, "Big Brother Yue saw it. sister-in-law is too magical …"

Li Yue remained silent and continued to look at the area that was no longer quiet. Instead, a wave of intense applause erupted.

"Esteemed wangfei was indeed guided by an immortal. She could actually sacrifice her life to save people …"

"Esteemed wangfei is Fairy Yao Chi, just like a buddhist lord. She's going to cut off meat and feed it to the eagles …"

"A thousand years, a thousand years …"

The crowd kneeled again under the call.

Jingjing let out a breath of relief. Looking at Ah Bi's gradually recovering face, she said, "Ah Bi, let him go …"

As soon as Ah Bi let go of the youth that had called Xiao Ming, one of Li Yue's guards immediately took him away.

Jingjing originally wanted to stop him, but after a moment of hesitation, she gave up.

Her body gradually relaxed, and her expression relaxed.

Jing Jing let out a breath of relief, although she was already sweating profusely, cold sweat had already drenched her back.

But it was worth it, because she knew that she had achieved her goal.

"This python is not some ferocious beast, it's just that someone used a despicable method to make it go crazy, believing that the Ninth Prince will send people to investigate the truth. No one needs to worry, and in the future, don't spread the word that this python is a demon, it can help me, Ninth Prince, and the army in battle."

"A thousand years, a thousand years …" Everyone happily shouted.

Jing Jing let out a breath of relief, turned her head, and looked at Ye Chong.

He then turned his head and looked at Li Yue, teasing his.

He didn't know if it was just his imagination, but he saw a trace of appreciative smile on the corner of Li Yue's mouth, then it disappeared. From such a distance, Jingjing even thought it was her imagination.

After this series of events, the arena was back to normal.

Jingjing got back into the carriage, with Ah Bi following behind her. She slowly twisted and turned until she reached the side of the carriage, reverting back to her previous demeanor.

When Jingjing passed by Li Yue and Ling'er, she suddenly thought of something.

Ling'er was without a doubt the only one who could control Ah Bi here.

Perhaps Li Yue or General Xiahou had some kind of political enemy here that would deal with her, but Jingjing didn't know.

However, she was certain of one thing, and that was that Ling'er definitely did not want her to live a good life.

She wasn't entirely sure if she was mad, because she had no proof.

However, that fellow would definitely not stand here and watch the show peacefully. He must have "added fuel to the fire".

Thinking to this point, Jingjing coldly snorted. She stopped in front of Ling'er's horse, raised her head, and said in a low voice, "What a pity, I've let you down …"

"Ahhh …" Ah Bi let out a low cry at the right time.

Ling'er's expression changed, and she looked at Jingjing, "What do you mean by this?"

Jing Jing looked at Li Yue again, and said, "You know it yourself."

After she finished speaking, she didn't wait to see the great change in Ling'er's complexion. The servant girl who had already disembarked the carriage earlier was waiting for her.

Seeing Jingjing get on the carriage, the rest of them also relaxed quite a bit.

He resumed his walk.

Jingjing walked in front, and anyone who passed by would kneel down and pay their respects.

Ye Chong rode beside Yue and Ling'er.

After about half an hour, they finally arrived at the entrance of the ninth prince's mansion safely.

Jingjing heaved a sigh of relief, it really wasn't easy.

It seemed like the 'job' of a wangfei wasn't something to be done easily.

Jingjing had already arrived at the Ninth Prince's Mansion, but she didn't know that news of her reputation had already spread out.

The news spread further and further. It was from a man from the Central Plains that it was brought to the capital and reached the Crown Prince's Palace …

Furthermore, Jingjing didn't know that this matter would become the biggest reason for her meeting with Bingying …

Of course, this was all in the future.

These were all things that Jingjing did not know about.

Jing Jing looked at the Ninth Prince's Mansion that was right in front of her. She saw that there was already a large group of people waiting at the entrance.

Li Yue had always been indifferent, so he didn't interact much with others.

Other than their wedding that day, it was the first time his Ninth Prince's Estate was so lively.

Li Yue remained indifferent.

Jingjing had already spotted General Xiahou, who was standing at the very front of the group, waiting to greet them.

For some reason, she clearly knew that this person's love was not for her sake, but for the true Xiahou Yeshi.

When Jingjing saw him, she couldn't help but feel her eyes turn red.

The moment the carriage came to a stop, Jingjing impatiently got off the carriage.

Immediately, a servant girl came forward to help support Jingjing. Jingjing let them help support her, but her footsteps were in a hurry.

He took a few quick steps forward.

He walked up to General Xiahou, who was also stretching his arms out in joy. "My son has finally returned safely!" he cried.

As he finished speaking, his eyes turned red.

General Xiahou was an iron-clad man who fought in the battlefield all year round.

But now that Jing Jing had returned, her eyes were red with excitement.

Jing Jing carefully looked at his expression, compared to a few days ago, he looked much more haggard.

His cheekbones were sunken in, and all the whiskers on his face had grown out.

Jing Jing felt a wave of pain in her heart. She held onto General Xiahou's arm, tears flowing down her cheeks. "Father, I've made you worry!"

The two father and daughter exchanged a few pleasantries before Manqing said, "Miss and General should go in first. There are a lot of servants watching!"

Manqing had been sent by the masked man to disguise herself as Xiahou Yeshi's personal servant, so as to not arouse suspicion.

After so many days, Jingjing almost forgot about this person's existence.

After they entered the palace, Li Yue went to deal with the people who came to congratulate them or to try to build a relationship with them. Jingjing returned to the Puzhen Courtyard and settled Abi down to reminisce with General Xiahou.

The only thing worth mentioning was that after Ah Bi entered the Pu Zhen Yuan, regardless of whether it was the servants of the mansion or the officials and officials who came to befriend her, they all looked at her curiously from afar, sighing endlessly.

After the period of time just now, in addition to Jingjing's repeated warnings and instructions, she had become much calmer.

When other people came to see it, they would just sit there cross-legged, with the food circle that Abigail had ordered people to prepare in the middle of the room, and slowly enjoy it.

At the same time, Jingjing told General Xiahou the general details of the events of the past few days.

General Xiahou hadn't said anything at the beginning.

Only when he heard that Ling'er had come from that strange manor, as well as her mother, Aunt Lu, did a trace of worry appear on General Xiahou's face.

"Tell me …" That person from the Mystic Villa wanted to capture Li Yue for an item called the Wordless Book of Heaven. And that woman, her surname is Lu? "

General Xiahou grabbed hold of the key point and looked seriously at Jingjing, wanting to confirm it again.

Jingjing had never seen General Xiahou treat her with such an expression before. Knowing that she had lost her composure, she nodded and asked, "Father, why do you ask?"

She thought for a moment. Before General Xiahou could reply, she continued, "It seems like the Wordless Heavenly Book is extremely secretive. Father shouldn't pursue it."

General Xiahou looked absent-minded for a moment, then looked at Jingjing in surprise and asked, "How do you know I will pursue this matter?"

Jingjing was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Daughter is judging by father's expression."

General Xiahou smiled, a hint of admiration in his eyes. "You are much more thoughtful now!"

Jingjing was a little drowsy at first, but immediately smiled in a nonchalant manner, "Father is overthinking things. Now that my daughter is married, naturally she has to be more sensible than before!"

General Xiahou smiled, stood up, and took his leave.

Only after General Xiahou left did Jingjing heave a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she had almost exposed her identity just now.

While she was deep in thought, someone reported from outside and called in. It was the person from Li Yue's side. "Esteemed wangfei, Master told you to prepare some things. He said he'd come to bed tonight!"

Jingjing forced a smile, looked at the sky outside, and speechlessly said, "It's still early in the evening, it's not dark yet, why is he talking about this?"

Seeing Jing Jing's wry smile, the person reporting her didn't respond. He only said in a low and respectful voice, "If you don't have any orders, wangfei, I'll take my leave first —"

"Ai, hey …"

Jing Jing looked at the man's disappearing figure speechlessly, she then heard a stifled laugh.

Turning his head slightly, he saw Manqing covering her mouth and laughing.

Jing Jing was speechless as she said: "What are you laughing at? Is it funny? "

Manqing lowered her head and whispered into Jingjing's ear in a mysterious voice that only Jingjing could hear, "Miss, the Ninth Prince has only gotten married until now. Other than a few concubines that hide themselves from others, he hasn't had any concubines, nor has he crossed the line with any women …"

"Hmm? "So what?" Jing Jing listened to Man Qing's words and asked in confusion.

Manqing sighed, looked at Jingjing and seriously said, "So, the news outside is …" The Ninth Prince won't do. "

"No?!"

Jingjing opened her eyes wide and asked Manqing, looking at her in disbelief.

"Shh!"

Manqing quickly pressed her index finger to her lips, and nervously signaled Jingjing to lower her voice, "Miss, this is a secret, aren't you afraid that others will hear it?"

Jingjing's face darkened, and said: "Alright, where did you hear this from?"

Seeing Manqing's awkward red face, Jingjing couldn't help but to ask.

In her mind, she couldn't help but recall the attempted "invasion" by Li Yue several times. From the looks of it … It didn't seem to be impossible?

"Miss, these words are an open secret!"

Manqing's voice was even lower than before. "But after you got married, after you took Miss' chastity handkerchief, the rumors broke by themselves …"

Man Qing dragged her voice, and continued: "However, now we are being brought up again, saying that someone saw the ninth prince's finger injury that day, and suspected that …" Suspicion is a fraud. "

Manqing's voice suppressed again and again, and she said in a low voice: "So Miss, maybe you fell asleep that night and didn't know anything. Maybe the Ninth Prince …" It really won't do, so you don't have to worry! " Man Qing knew the identity of Jingjing.

As a woman, she could not be absent-minded.

So, the words that Jingjing said out of sympathy was out of genuine concern for Jingjing.
