However, before he returned to the prince's mansion … She was going to a very important place.

Dusk was low over the dark sky...

The majestic Beitang Estate was brightly lit.

Outside the residence, the fire grew brighter. Over a thousand soldiers and soldiers surrounded the entire Beitang Estate, unable to let even a drop of water pass through.

Like a ghost, a black shadow bypassed the soldiers' line of sight, sticking close to the vine at the corner of the wall and sneaking in from the outside. Then, it headed straight for the woodshed.

The black shadow looked left and right, but there was no one around. Thus, he boldly opened the door of the woodshed, slipped in like a cat, and closed the door.

"Hey!"

"Why does that figure look like the Fourth Miss?"

"But. Didn't Fourth Miss go missing? "

"How did she get in?"

"Moreover, there are so many soldiers surrounding the residence! How did she get in? "

The maidservant, Spring Peaches, was carrying a lantern as she walked by. From afar, she saw a figure quickly enter the woodshed. She only saw the back of a person who looked very much like Fourth Miss.

"That's right. "Sixth Miss asked me to monitor Fourth Miss and Ninth Miss. If I can find out some of Fourth Miss's secrets, she might give me a lot of silver."

Peach is a greedy little man.

Thinking of the Sixth Miss' reward, the corner of his mouth almost started to drool. He quickly extinguished the lantern light and quietly made his way to the woodshed.

The woodshed was dark, with no lights on.

Spring Peaches was crouching outside. He thought to himself, "Why did Fourth Miss come to the woodshed alone at night?" Furthermore, they don't even light their lamps at night. It's obvious that there's something wrong. "

Ding dong. BOOM!

It sounded like someone was rummaging through the cabinet.

Could it be that he was looking for something?

Had he been robbed?

Thinking of the robbers killing and looting, a wave of fear passed over her. However, thinking about it, there were so many soldiers guarding outside that thieves would definitely not be able to get in. Hence, the fear in her heart eased up a lot!

"If he isn't a traitor, then he must be a traitor!"

"Humph!"

"Today, I, Spring Peaches, will reveal a spy like you! "Let's see who exactly you are!"

"If I do such a great deed for the Beitang Clan, I'm afraid that this steward will promote me to be a vice steward!"

Spring Peaches' blood rushed to her head as she hurriedly pushed open the door and rushed in!

"Who?"

The person inside heard the sound and reacted alertly.

"Fourth Miss. It's really you? "

Spring Peaches' face lit up.

Following which, she took out a fire piston and lit the lantern's candle flame.

The woodshed lit up with flickering candles. Under the flickering flame, Bing Ying's delicate and pretty face looked very attractive.

"You are... Spring peach? What are you doing in the woodshed? " Bing Ying reprimanded him.

"This... Fourth Miss … "Actually, Peach of Spring is …"

"What is it?" Cut the crap! "Since you're here, hurry up and help me find something!" Bing Ying seemed to be angry, and her tone of voice was quite domineering.

"Find..." "What are you looking for?"

"I lost a tattered book in the woodshed a few days ago, but I can't find it now! I wonder where he went! "

"What book?" Spring Peaches was very curious. What lousy book would be worth a princess going to the woodshed in the middle of the night?

"Please calm your anger, Fourth Miss!" Calm your anger! Spring Peaches did not dare to offend him! Spring Peaches will not dare to do it again! " Spring Peaches was scared silly!

"Hurry up and help me look for the book!"

"Oh!" "AHH!" "Yes!"

Spring Peaches was so scared that cold sweat broke out all over her body. She quickly grabbed her lantern and started rummaging through the woodshed.

"Fourth Miss. I found it! Is it this one? Someone threw it into the woodpile! " Spring Peaches quickly took out a book and liked it very much.

The woodshed wasn't just filled with firewood. It was basically a junk room with broken tables and chairs, cabinets, dustpanes, and other tools. It was a messy pile of things … Thus, it was much easier to find them by lantern light.

"This is the book!"

Bing Ying quickly copied away the book in Spring Peaches' hands. She looked through it and found that it was filled with English that was hard to understand. It really was the Wordless Book!

Earlier, when she had stolen the Wordless Heavenly Book from Nangong Xiu, she had discovered that it was filled with words that she could not understand. Feeling that it was useless, she had decided to throw it into the woodshed.

They clearly had words, and they were densely packed with many words. Why did they have to be called Wordless Heavenly Book?

Bing Ying wasn't sure.

However, there was one thing that she was sure of. Nangong Xiu's nervousness towards this broken book was simply 100 points! Only then did Bing Ying sneak back to look for the old book!

"Alright!" Spring peach! Today, you made a contribution! This wangfei will thank you in the future! Remember! Don't tell anyone about what happened today! Otherwise, if the Prince were to be enraged, no one will be able to protect you! "

Finished. Bing Ying stuffed the Book of Heaven's Path back into her bosom and slipped away, disappearing into the darkness.

Spring Peaches stood there in a daze, unmoving.

It took her a while to recover from her shock! Then came pain and regret!

"Why am I so stupid!?" "How could I be tricked by that good-for-nothing Fourth Miss!" Spring Peaches was filled with regret, but unfortunately, Bing Ying was nowhere to be found.

"Since she's so nervous about the book, she must have her secrets inside. If I give the book to Sixth Miss, I'll definitely get a lot of rewards!"

"Fourth Miss is simply a soft persimmon! Paper tiger! How could I be fooled? Being scared by her will cause you to panic! "

"Why am I panicking when I'm scared by a paper tiger like her?"

"However, it's strange if you think about it. When did that good-for-nothing Fourth Miss become so fierce and calm? It's like a completely different person. "

Spring Peaches had a look of astonishment on her face.

Prince Mansion

Nangong Xiu's face was extremely gloomy.

Housekeeper Jian's expression was grave. He was extremely focused on Nangong Xiu as he pounded his abacus …

"Your Highness! It had been calculated! Seventeen promissory notes, including the money needed to redeem the Crown Prince's Palace land, have cost a total of twenty-eight thousand one hundred and forty-seven taels of silver! " On Steward Jane's forehead, there were large beads of sweat!

"Slut!" He lost nearly thirty thousand taels of silver in a single day! Even if it's the world, This King will drag you out! "

"My lord. "Today, after spending such a huge sum of money, there is not much left of the Duke Mansion's account office." As the steward of the manor, Steward Jane said worriedly.

"The Prince's Mansion is out of money, right? How could that be? Two years ago, my royal father bestowed a total of two hundred thousand silver taels to clear the accounts of the King's Manor! It's only been two years? How did you, the housekeeper, do it?! "

"Your Highness! The King's Manor had always been very expensive. There were more than 200 servants, including servants, guards, maids, and other workers. The cost was huge. "Moreover, the prince would take away fifty thousand silvers every year …"

"Bastard!" Are you going to ask about This King? "

The moment she mentioned 50,000 taels of silver, Nangong Xiu's expression changed!

Nangong Xiu's talent was actually extremely high. His intelligence was extraordinary. However, because they were born from concubines, the halos on their heads were too dazzling. So he's been ignored since he was a kid...

It was because of this that he developed a cold and eccentric personality, and it also contributed to his hidden and dangerous ambition …

A year ago, his brother, the First Prince Nangong Lie, had been personally appointed by the Emperor as the crown prince, while the Second Prince, Nangong Yan, had also been proclaimed as the King of Peace. Even the mediocre and weak Third Prince, Nangong Chao Yun, had been conferred the title of Prince of Nanyang.

Nangong Yan was the blood brother of one of his parents and was given to him by Xiao Fei. In the eyes of Xiao Fei, the eldest son, Nangong Yan, was smart, tactful, and glib. He was also doted upon by his ice-cold son.

Nangong Xiu was unwilling! He was extremely unwilling!

Ever since he was young, he had been more hardworking and hardworking than other princes. In order to obtain the favor of royal father and mother, he had been able to be valued by the people of the world as a prince! Therefore, he spent a large amount of money every year to recruit a large amount of loyal death soldiers and assassins. The reason was so that he could scheme great plans for him to compete for the throne with the other princes! And among all the Death Soldiers and Dark Dwellers, the Ghost Slaves were one of them!

The Ghost Slave was an extremely mysterious and unpredictable expert. It was highly valued by Nangong Xiu.

Nangong Xiu's secret plan of nurturing the death soldiers was something that could hide from everyone. Of course, it couldn't be hidden from the steward who was in charge of all the major and minor matters in the Prince's Mansion.

"Housekeeper Jane!" How dare you ask about This King's personal matters? "

Nangong Xiu shouted.

"This little one doesn't dare!" Housekeeper Jian kneeled down.

"Remember! "If you dare bring up this matter again, perhaps a rumor will leak out. Your entire family will die …" Nangong Xiu moved to wipe his neck.

"Yes." Yes. This little one will definitely keep this a secret! "

Suddenly, a soldier hurriedly rushed in.

"Reporting to the king!"

"It's best if you don't bother me!" Nangong Xiu said coldly.

"Your Highness, Princess … The wangfei is back! "

The moment Bing Ying stepped into the palace, she felt a cold killing intent...

Nangong Xiu was standing straight in front of the hall. His face was shrouded in killing intent … In his hand stood a long sword made of azure light!

Steward Jane was standing behind him with a hunched back, looking a little sad. When he saw Bing Ying walk over, he quickly gave his a signal with his eyes. It was as if he was telling Bing Ying: His Royal Highness is angry, and the consequences will be severe. Esteemed wangfei, you have to be careful.

Seeing the atmosphere, Bing Ying naturally understood the reason.

"Nangong Xiu. I'm back! Why hadn't dinner started yet? He was hungry! Butler Jian, when will the Duke's Mansion be having dinner? "

Bing Ying said innocently, completely treating Nangong Xiu, who had a murderous look on his face, as air.

"Esteemed wangfei." I'll immediately tell the kitchen to prepare food... "

"Wait! Who said she could eat? " Nangong Xiu glared at Bing Yingying and said coldly, "You actually dare to come back!"

"Why would I not dare to come back?"

"You have committed a heinous crime! You actually have the face to come back to the palace? This is truly surprising! However, coming back was good as well, as it saved him a lot of trouble. Someone come! " Nangong Xiu suddenly shouted.

"This lowly general is here!"

"Tie this bitch up! "Go to the cell!"

"Yes!" "Your Highness!"

The general with the iron chains and shackles in his hands walked in front of Bing Ying and said with a cold expression, "Esteemed wangfei! This lowly general has offended you! " He was about to tie her up.

"Wait!" No matter what, I am still a princess! You dare to be presumptuous? "

"This general will only act on your orders, Your Highness!"

"You are quite loyal! But wait a moment. My lord and I will talk first. "Since you're so loyal to the prince, you shouldn't want to see the prince and his wangfei having an unpleasant time, right?" Bing Ying spoke with a calmness and calmness that could be seen from her tone.

The general turned his gaze to the dark face of the prince … Wait for the master's instructions.

Nangong Xiu said coldly, "Is there anything else you want to say?"

"Soo Soo. "Actually, I …"

Soo Soo?

She called me Soo Soo!

This King is valiant and powerful, but she is actually called such a cute name?

This idiot woman, what was she thinking about in her mind?

Nangong Xiu was so angry that he vomited blood.

Bing Ying giggled and said, "Soo Soo, you don't like the sound of that? I think it's pretty good! Very dear, very good! In any case, no matter how you look at it, it seems like a little black shota. "

Nangong Xiuhu stared at him, "Black little shota? What does that mean? You actually dare to insult This King? "

Bing Ying smiled sweetly and said, "Stinky little shota, you mean to say that you're very handsome!"

"You don't have to be glib! You are guilty of a capital offense! "

Although his attitude was still as cold as ever, at least he wasn't as heartless as before. It looked like everyone liked to be flattered. Even the cold and charming Nangong Xiu was no exception.

"Even if you want to kill me, you should at least give me a chance to explain."

"Let's hear what you have to say. In any case, you have committed a crime worthy of death, so no matter how clever you are, you will not be able to escape death today! "

"Soo Soo …"

"Shut up!" Do not call me Soo Soo! "

"What's that called?" Bing Ying asked innocently.

"Naturally, he's called Prince!" You cannot be disrespectful and impudent in front of This King! "

"How can I do that?" Everyone calls you Your Royal Highness! We are husband and wife. Wouldn't it be too much of a difference if I also called you Prince? This would not be conducive to a happy and harmonious life between husband and wife! "Let me think, I'll still call you …" Bing Ying started to think seriously about this question.

Suddenly. She happily said, "I've got it! He thought of it! If you find Soo Soo unpleasant, I shall call you Nan Nan, or palace. "
