Mysterious and noble, beautiful and charming: all of these were lies! That snake skin-like right cheek was really disgusting! He was cheated!

"Princess, you were wearing a mask to cover your right cheek?" Xiao Zirong really could not hold back and asked.

Who is Xiao Zirong to her? Did she need to care whether Xiao Zirong liked her or not?

Xiao Zirong said, "Rumors? I thought those rumors were fake." Now, it seemed to be true.

Ji Yunkai said seriously, "No, just the rumors about my being very ugly are true." As for being intimate with Son of Prince Duan, that was something she would never admit to.

"Ah, yes?" Xiao Zirong thought that he was quite knowledgeable and that communicating with others was not a problem, but this was the first time that he did not know how to reply.

However, when he looked at Ji Yunkai's right cheek, it looked a little more pleasing to the eye.

It was at this time that Xiao Shiqing glared at him, and then looked at Ji Yunkai with concern: "Sister-in-law, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, I'm not the one who's scared." Ji Yunkai laughed indifferently, completely looking down on this battle.

No matter who arranged this, she did not care.

In Prince Yanbei's Mansion, things happened from left to right. If Xiao Shiqing was unable to help, and caused Prince Yanbei's Mansion to lose face, it had nothing to do with her.

She had done her best!

"Sorry, Sister-in-law, these servants... I will teach them well." Xiao Shiqing's face was full of shame, obviously she knew that there was a problem.

"Then I'll be troubling Shiqing. If there's nothing else, I won't be entertaining you. It's not convenient for me right now." Ji Yunkai unceremoniously sent out the order for them to leave. Sweeping a glance at the people behind Xiao Shiqing, she laughed.

These people had arrived so quickly, and Xiao Shiqing had brought them with her. If one were to say that this matter was not done by Xiao Shiqing, she would not believe it, even if she was beaten to death.

Only, she did not understand why Xiao Shiqing would do such a thing.

What good would that do her?

She really did not understand and Ji Yunkai simply did not want to it either. After sending the people away, she had the maidservants clean the place up and fetch her bath water again.

In the Ji Family, she had to take a bath and fetch water by herself. Everyday, she would be so troubled she felt like dying.

The room was quickly cleaned up, and the maidservants brought back fresh water. Of course, it was a different group of people this time. The maidservants who called her a "ghost" were all taken away by Xiao Shiqing.

The newcomers had clearly been told before hand, so they did not dare to look at her face. However, they were all trembling as if they had seen a ghost.

Ji Yunkai pretended not to see this, and comfortably took a bath to relax her tensed nerves of the day.

It was as if there was a war going on today. Once something happened, it was almost impossible to guard against.

"I have a feeling that someone is targeting me from behind. Who could it be? Someone who wants to kill me? Or, was it the person who took the Phoenix Pendant? Maybe they are in the same group?"

As for Prince Yanbei's Mansion? Although she could not understand why Xiao Shiqing's and Xiao Zirong's appearances were such a coincidence, she still could not believe that it was Prince Yanbei's Mansion who had done it.

There was no reason to, because it would not benefit Prince Yanbei's Mansion.

Unable to understand, Ji Yunkai could not be bothered to think anymore. Carefully avoiding the wound on her left wrist, Ji Yunkai got up and dried herself, dressed neatly, and put on her mask.

It did not matter if she was ugly, but coming out to scare people wasn't right. For the sake of harmony in Prince Yanbei's Mansion, she should wear a mask.

Seeing Ji Yunkai put on the mask, the servant girls all secretly heaved a sigh of relief. The right side of her face was truly ugly, as if the skin of a snake had grown inside her flesh. Anyone who looked at her would feel their scalp go numb. No matter how long they looked at it, they could not get used to it.

At the same time, they also felt that it was a pity that their Princess was really quite good-looking, but her right cheek was ruined. If her right cheek was intact, then their Princess, with such peerless beauty, would surely be a beauty that could topple empires.

It was a pity.…

*Sigh*. Although it was a pity, one still had to do what one had to do.

A maidservant walked up and bent her knees, "Princess, the Prince is staying in the Frigid Water Hall. The Infanta has ordered this servant to take you there. Would you like to have your meal first or later?"

Ji Yunkai frowned. No matter what, they had to meet up; otherwise, if they were to meet in the future, they might not be able to recognize each other.

Of course, this possibility wasn't high, but it was still necessary to meet him.

Ji Yunkai wanted to go over after eating, but as Prince Yanbei's Wife, if she did not put Prince Yanbei first, would the entire Prince Yanbei's Mansion be able to tolerate her?

Ji Yunkai said, "Naturally we should go see the Prince first." If possible, she wanted to see if Xiao Jiu'an could be saved. She really did not want to die with him.

Although the courtyard that Ji Yunkai lived in was simple, it wasn't that far from Frigid Water Hall, but it was like a training yard.

Yes, a training yard! The arrangement of Prince Yanbei's Mansion was especially simple. There were no fake mountains or gardens at all, and the open area was completely set up as a training yard, cold and extremely monotonous. To be honest, Ji Yunkai did not like it.

Although she spent most of her time in the army, it did not mean that she liked to make her home look like a military camp.

It was unknown if it was because she was wearing a mask, or because of some other reason, but when the servants of the Frigid Water Hall saw her, they did not feel that it was inappropriate in the slightest. After they paid their respects to her, the steward brought her to Xiao Jiu'an's room.

"Esteemed Princess, this is the Prince's sleeping quarters. His Highness has not awoken yet, so this servant will enter once every hour." The steward opened the door and gestured that he would not follow Ji Yunkai in.

Ji Yunkai raised her eyebrows, feeling that something was amiss.

Someone from Prince Yanbei's Mansion actually told her to go see Xiao Jiu'an without worry. Are they not afraid that she would kill Xiao Jiu'an?

Ji Yunkai continued to not understand. She realized that the entire Prince Yanbei's Mansion was just like a huge maze. She would be an idiot to just barge in, and there was a high possibility that she would be gnawed to the point that not even her bones would remain.

Even if she did not understand it, she still had to do it.

Secretly inhaling, Ji Yunkai tried her best to suppress the uneasiness in her heart, and walked in, step by step, into the room, toward the bedside.
