The man didn't want to beat around the bush with her and directly said, "Last night, when you called This King to save you, This King was on the top floor, admiring the moon."

Su Nanxing lived in a pavilion.

The spot where she had been grabbed by the three last night happened to be facing where he lived.

They were also headed towards the top floor.

So...

He was saying that he had actually seen those three people when she had called out to him for help last night?

It was because he saw those three people that he appeared in the forbidden area in order to save her.

It was only because he was standing at the top floor of the pavilion that he was a bit far from the area where the Forbidden Area was located.

Therefore, when he came down, she was already dragged into the forbidden area by those people.

So, he took so long to find her?!

That...

Had he seen her do it before?

In this dynasty, it was not unusual for women to know martial arts.

It was not a world-shaking event for a woman to kill someone.

However, she was a girl from a noble family in a noble house.

It was the Princess Yuexi bestowed by the Son of Heaven.

Not only did they fight, they even killed people. They also killed people without blinking …

In that case, the problem now was.

They won't ask you why you killed.

Was it to protect himself, or was it simply killing people …

They won't ask.

They will only punish you directly.

Because, this was the order of the Tianchen Kingdom.

All women who were born in the noble officials' families were forbidden to practice martial arts, and no one was allowed to commit violent killings.

Those who violate this rule will have their skills wasted and will never be free for life. If the case is serious, then the decision will be made.

Lin Xuecha's breathing tightened, her chest slightly rose and fell, and her slender hands under her wide sleeves, were also gripping onto her palms bit by bit.

They looked at each other.

Their gazes interweaved.

Lin Xuecha started to panic.

She had always been concealing her abilities and didn't want others to know that she knew martial arts. It was simply because she didn't want any trouble.

But now …

She bit her lip and tried her best to remain calm. "I …"

The man seemed to have peeped out and the thoughts in her heart were faintly cut off as he spoke.

"This King only gives you one chance to be honest, so this time, you have to think carefully and think carefully before you speak to This King."

Say it, or not say it?

After all, Su Nanxing was not someone to be fooled.

If she chose to hide it, she might be exposed on the spot.

At that time, how was he going to save the situation?

Available...

If she chose to confess.

It was equivalent to placing half of his life and life in the hands of this person.

His deep black eyes quietly watched the black-robed, young man in front of him.

Lin Xuecha was also weighing the pros and cons.

What Su Nanxing had treated her well, everyone could see it.

She had nothing to say.

She didn't intentionally lower his character.

This world was filled with benefits and darkness. If she was not careful, not to mention avenging her mother, it would be difficult for her to live on …

Could she really place her life in Su Nanxing's hands?

Could she …

Did she dare?

Did she dare to? With the word "dare", he sent her back to her original form.

Lin Xuecha hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head and said, "Your Highness, looking at that Snow Tea, does she look like someone who knows how to kill?"

The man waited for a while, but what he received instead was Lin Xuecha's ambiguous reply.

It was unknown if it was just Lin Xuecha's imagination, but she actually saw a trace of helplessness in his deep eyes. However, when she looked again, she found that it was a peaceful and calm place.

The man leisurely twirled the silver needle in his hand. "It's hard to understand a person's heart. You seem weak, but how does This King know that? Do you know how to kill people?"

Lin Xuecha choked, he did not know how to reply.

The man suddenly raised his eyes and looked at her with a smile before giving her a suggestion in a slow and unhurried manner.

"No, let This King bully you. If you don't resist This King, you can be considered weak. How about it?"

What kind of suggestion was this?

Lin Xuecha wanted to retort, but the man went ahead of her and took action.

His waist suddenly tightened. He put down the silver needle and wrapped his arm around her waist.

The color in Lin Xuecha's eyes changed, the man had already dragged her body forward until she was in front of him.

Lin Xuecha's body stiffened as his face became sullen.

The man leaned forward. His warm breath clearly landed on her face, by her earlobes and then on her neck.

Her five fingers under her wide sleeve tightened. In the next moment, a warm and cool hand grasped her fingers.

Little by little, it moved from the back of her hand to her arm.

It caused a feeling of numbness.

Lin Xuecha immediately lost.

She reached out her hand to push him away, but the man restrained her even more tightly.

At the same time, she brought her slender body into his embrace, tightly encircling her, making it impossible for her to step back in the slightest.

I can't refuse him.

His arm seemed to be gently caressed by someone as it kept moving inward and forward.

"Your Highness …" Lin Xuecha's face flushed red, this was truly molesting.

A blatant molestation.

How brazen!

Just as Lin Xuecha was thinking of how to resist, the man suddenly retracted his hand.

The hand around her waist slowly withdrew.

He lowered his eyes to look at the items in his hand, and spoke without any sincerity.

"There are so many things in your sleeve, it makes it inconvenient for This King to bully you."

Lin Xuecha's gaze focused on the silver needles on the man's fingertips, and his face suddenly paled.

The man raised his eyes and glanced at her. "Why? Are you still not planning to tell Ben Wang?"

Don't plan on...

Still not planning to?!

Lin Xuecha was slightly startled.

Could it be that he knew from the beginning that she had taken care of those three people?

He had asked her just now just to give her a chance to confess?

Instead, he wanted to probe her …

For some reason, Lin Xuecha suddenly wanted to laugh.

It didn't matter to her that she killed someone. Even if it was known that she had killed someone, she would normally only laugh it off.

After all, it was to protect himself.

He did not kill innocent people without thinking, nor did he violate his own moral bottom line.

But, because of her identity, because of the circumstances in which she lived …

Su Nanxing had never thought that he would press closer to her …

She would panic, she would be uneasy.

She could not be without freedom.

He couldn't just die for no reason at all. It could even be said that he died for no reason.

Back then, she still hadn't found out what the empress had done to her mother.

He had yet to expose the empress's vicious and merciless methods.

How could anything happen to her?!

Lin Xuecha slowly lifted his eyes, suppressing the indescribable anger in his heart.

"Yes, the three of them were killed by Snowy. Snowy's hands were stained with fresh blood, but …"

She stared at Su Nanxing's handsome face and asked word by word instead of turning her head back.

"Is Your Highness also that kind of person? Why would he want to kill someone like that, even if he only cared about whether or not Snowy killed them?!"

Su Nanxing was slightly startled, as though she hadn't expected that she would ask such a question.

The moment he fell silent, the fire on Lin Xuecha's chest immediately ignited.

It was inexplicable.

But on second thought, it didn't seem like there was anything to be angry about …

Lin Xuecha suppressed his indistinct anger.

He stood up and put the teacup back to its original position, then bent his legs and moved the book on the side of the carriage back to its original position.

She sat on the horse carriage opposite Su Nanxing.

Leaning against the carriage, he closed his eyes and rested his mind.

From start to finish, Su Nanxing only looked at her indifferently.

Not a word.

After a long while, he said, "This King has already sent people to investigate the people behind them."

With that, there was nothing more to say.

Lin Xuecha's eyelashes moved, but she did not open her eyes.

The man took a sip of the water she had just poured.

"Are you angry?"

Lin Xuecha turned his body, and turned his head to the side, but still did not open his eyes.

The man's long, narrow eyes were fixed on her, and his voice was as low as ever.

"Now that This King knows your weakness, if you don't try to please This King, why would you be angry with This King?"

With that said, Lin Xuecha opened his eyes.

She straightened her back and raised her eyes to Su Nanxing, staring straight at him.

He didn't speak.

Just not talking.

Actually, hearing him say that he had already sent people to look for the mastermind behind all of this, her inexplicable anger had already been reduced by more than half.

Looking at himself, he even felt that he was being a bit unreasonable.

Su Nanxing was also not one of her people.

Since he already knew that she was the one who killed them, according to the logic of the people in the dynasty, they could have skipped it and asked for the reason why they killed them.

A direct conviction is one.

Why would she want Su Nanxing? She could not be like the others and treat her like that …

Now that she heard Su Nanxing's words, she felt even more that she was causing trouble for no reason.

That's right, he knew her weakness. Not only was she not fawning on him, she was even angry at him …

Wasn't he courting death, what was he doing?

Lin Xuecha withdrew the light in his eyes.

Just as she was about to say something, Su Nanxing patted on the seat beside him, "Come, sit."

She glanced at him, but didn't move.

Su Nanxing asked again, "Are you sure you want to disobey this king's order?"

Oh...

He is a prince, he has great power, he is great.

He was still holding onto her weakness. She was a murderer, what qualifications did she have to disobey his orders?

Lin Xuecha pursed his lips, bent his knees, and then moved the book to the side once again.

Sit down beside him.

She still wanted to slightly turn her body with half her back to him, but she did not turn her head to look at him. She did not expect …

The man actually pressed down on her shoulder.

The other hand also moved in front of her eyes, slightly tilting her body and resting her head on his shoulder.

Then he let go of her shoulder, passed his left hand behind her back, and put his arm around her waist.

Lin Xuecha's expression tightened, wanting to pull away from him, but the strength from his waist suddenly increased.

Two hands that had nowhere to place were firmly grasped by someone.

As if they were warning him, someone said in a low voice, "Don't move, be obedient."
