C68 (1/2)

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. ”
