The night was as cold as water. The door to Bai Zhiling's guest room was pushed open, and a lean looking maidservant walked in.

"Miss Bai, our prince wants to see you. Follow me."

Bai Zhiling knew that County Prince Lee was going to interrogate her.

"Lead the way."

"Miss Bai, please."

Bai Zhiling saw maidservant walking and carrying the wind, so she must be an expert in guarding against her.

They walked all the way to County Prince Lee's study in the front yard.

There were layers of guards standing guard outside the study.

"Miss Bai, go in. The king is in the study." maidservant stepped forward and opened the door.

Bai Zhiling walked in.

County Prince Lee was waiting for her in the study room.

"County Prince Lee."

County Prince Lee's face was hidden in the dim yellow candle flame, making it hard to tell what he was thinking.

"You should know that if you are convicted, no one can protect you." After a long while, County Prince Lee finally snorted.

"Even the duke knows that I didn't do it."

County Prince Lee didn't think that Miss Bai, who was rumored to be brainless and stupid in the outside world, would be such a smart person.

"So what? You want to hurt my wife? This is obvious to all. Even if I dealt with you, Bai Hexi still wouldn't say a word."

Bai Zhiling stood there without saying anything. From County Prince Lee's tone, she seemed to know who the mastermind was.

"County Prince Lee knows that this matter has nothing to do with me and he still wants to deal with me. It seems like the person behind this is someone that a duke cannot offend."

County Prince Lee knew that she was the scapegoat, but he still wanted to make a move on her. This only meant that he didn't dare or can't do anything to the person in the dark, so he could only use her as a cover to blow the matter over.

County Prince Lee's face turned even darker.

"Does Your Highness think that this person will just let this go? I'm afraid your silence will be met with even more pressure. "

"You!" County Prince Lee was slightly shocked as he looked at Bai Zhiling. Could it be that she knew something? And then he felt it was impossible.

"Hmph, a clever mouth. Are you afraid of death?"

Bai Zhiling laughed softly. You speak as if you're not afraid of death. "

"Humph!" Shameless woman! "Someone, take Miss Bai back to the guest room!"

Bai Zhiling was led out of the study by maidservant. As she breathed in the fresh air, her heart slightly sank.

Just now, if County Prince Lee had really ordered his men to kill her, then under the heavy guard of County Prince, the chances of her escaping was practically zero!

She was still too weak!

As soon as she returned to the study, a figure emerged from the shadows.

Bai Zhiling tensed up, and only after seeing who it was did she slightly relax.

"Are you okay?" When she came out from County Princess's side, she heard that Bai Zhiling had been taken away by one of her men. She was afraid that something might have happened to her, but she couldn't enter the study and could only wait outside anxiously. Now that Bai Zhiling had come out safely, she let out a sigh of relief.

Bai Zhiling shook her head. But next time, it's hard to say. "

"father won't be that confused. No, I have to finish this as soon as possible. Otherwise, you will be in danger. You just wait for me, I will get someone to send you food and food."

"Alright."

Hee Qiqi walked out of the guest room and headed straight for the Old Duke of Mingning Pavilion. In the entire County Prince, the only person who could suppress County Prince Lee and his wife was his elderly self.

Hee Qiqi smelled the scent of roasted deer as soon as he arrived outside the Ming Ning Pavilion. He quickened his pace and entered the small garden. He saw the old prefecture lord sitting in front of a roasted deer and gorging himself on it!

"Grandfather's appetite is really good!"

The old prefecture lord had done something wrong today. He was already lacking in confidence, but when he saw Hee Qiqi walk in, a piece of venison stuck in his throat and almost choked him to death!

"Cough, cough, cough …" "Ugh …"

Seeing that, Hee Qiqi had no choice but to go up and feed him a large cup of water. Only then did he catch his breath.

"Oh, and here I thought you were going to choke to death. You really came in without even greeting me."

Hee Qiqi grunted. Grandfather has such a good mood, but I didn't know that some innocent people would be unlucky because of a moment of grandfather's fun. "

The old prefecture lord's gaze was somewhat evasive as he wiped his hands. He snorted, "Isn't it just a little girl? Since when did you have such a good relationship with her?"

Because Hee Qiqi was not as straightforward as the young ladies of the capital, he did not have many children with Mu Yinyin following him. This was something the Old Duke knew.

"I don't care. Anyway, this matter was caused by Grandfather, so you have to think of a way to solve it. No matter what, he is still a fine young lady, yet he took the blame?"

The old prefecture overseer's bright, burly eyes flashed. What are you carrying on your back? "

Hee Qiqi pinched Ye Zichen's body. How could Grandfather not know? Stop pretending! What can be hidden from you in this County Prince? I still don't know how powerful Grandfather is. "

His words had deepened the wrinkles on the Old Duke's face.

"Then your dad will take care of it. You don't need to worry about it."

Hee Qiqi saw that the Old Prince was still unmoved and had no choice but to use his trump card.

"Hmph, if she is just my friend, then I will try my best but even if I can't, I won't be able to force her. But what if she can cure her brother's leg? "

Hearing that, the Old Duke sat up.

"Little girl, you can lie to your grandfather in order to save her?"

Grandfather, after she left the Cloud King's Manor, she opened a clinic outside, but managed to cure two people who were diagnosed as incurable by other doctors. It can be seen that her medical skills are only exquisite, and your brother has been feeling sad all these years.

Hee Yisheng had been by the side of the old prefecture lord ever since he was three years old. If one were to say that the old prefecture lord's feelings for him were even deeper than that of County Prince Lee and his wife, saying that he didn't want to, it would definitely be a lie.

"You … You didn't lie to your grandfather? "

Hee Qiqi saw that something was going on and quickly said, "Grandfather, you're so gullible. You'll know whether it's true or false after checking."

"In the end, the Old Duke nodded his head and did it for his own grandson." "Let me think about it."

Hee Qiqi knew that he was going to verify the truth of the matter, so he did not push too far. "Alright."

Bai Zhiling did not expect County Prince Lee to be so eager to kill her.

"Miss Bai, the prince said that yesterday's incident was an accident. However, the wangfei is more or less frightened. I hope that Miss Bai can go to the justice courts outside the city and give her a stick of Calm Incense."

The woman who had spoken had a fake smile on her face as she brought the two maidservant along. From her posture, if Bai Zhiling wanted to resist, she would have to use force.

The journey from here to the justice courts was not a short one. If something were to happen on the way, it would be easy. This way, not only would they be able to kill her, but they would also be able to get rid of all responsibility!

However, he might have a chance to escape along the way.

"Alright."
