C9 (2/2)

Lu Xin looked at Lu Yi with a dazed expression. Was their master such a kind person? Why they never knew...

”Mistress, those assassins have all been killed.” Qing Qiu walked up to the 'assassin' and whispered.

This was also the second time the 'assassin' had met Bai Zhiling. Baili Moxun lowered her gaze to look at the well bandaged wound.

”Has the news of This King's return been spread?”

”They were released yesterday.”

”Then let's go to the capital tomorrow.” Ever since the news of him leaving the borderlands had been released, assassinations of all sizes had been unceasing. He was getting a little fed up with it.

”Yes.”

”Qinghu.”

”Your subordinate is here.”

”Go and find out who the main wife of my Seventh Imperial Nephew is.”

Asking about his daughter-in-law?

Mistress, this isn't good!

”...”

Bai Zhiling wanted to go back to her room, so she waited for Duke Jingxi, Bai Hexi, and Madam Huang who were waiting outside the door.

But after a long time, the news of Bai Zhiling being kidnapped by an assassin came from the carriage that did not hold the Cloud King's Manor!

Madam Huang 'fainted' on the spot. Duke Jingxi Manor was in chaos again.

At this moment, Mrs Duke Jingxi and Madam Huang, who had been 'scared out of their wits', were leaning against their pillow, smiling and drinking the lotus seed soup leisurely.

”Has there been any news from the marquis?”

”Reporting to Madam, the Marquis hasn't returned yet and no news has been sent back.”

Madam Huang's expression instantly darkened. No news was good news, she didn't want to hear that Bai Zhiling was alright!

”Madam, you're back. The wangfei and the prince have entered.”

Madam Huang sat up abruptly.

What?

Wasn't he kidnapped by an assassin? Why is he back?

Madam Huang secretly resented Bai Zhiling for being so lucky, but at the same time, she had no choice but to get up and prepare to act.

When she walked out, Baili Xing, Bai Zhiling and Duke Jingxi just walked into the main hall from outside.

”Greetings to Your Highness and Princess.”

”Mother, there's no need to be so polite.”

Madam Huang glanced at Bai Zhiling who was leaning on maidservant. Her expression didn't seem to be good. She looked worried.

”What's wrong with the princess? Did the assassin hurt the wangfei? ” The reason Madam Huang said this in front of everyone was obviously to ruin Bai Zhiling's reputation. Who knew what happened when she was caught by the assassin?!

A fierce look flashed across Bai Zhiling's eyes. As expected, having a mother means having a daughter. This Madam Huang wasn't someone who was easy to deal with.

”Mother, don't worry. When Ling was taken out of the city by the assassin, she coincidentally met Royal Uncle's men and was saved by them.”

After encountering the assassin, Baili Xing thought of Bai Zhiling being captured. He panicked a little and sent more men to chase after her, but they were still not as fast as the assassin.

Just as he was about to report that Royal Father had dispatched troops from the capital, Bai Zhiling had returned.

What surprised him even more was that Bai Zhiling had actually come back on a leopard!

He knew that cheetah hunting was a year ago. At that time, he had just performed his coronation and Royal Uncle, who was far away at the border, had someone give him a 1000 Li BMW. It was the cheetah hunting.

At that time, he really liked it. A cheetah was a good horse that could not be bought with money.

But the cheetah had a fierce temper, and when he brought it out of the city to be tamed, the cheetah ran away.

After hearing that it actually ran back to Royal Uncle's side, Royal Uncle gave him something else. Although the thing was good, it couldn't compare to that horse.

Bai Zhiling was riding the cheetah again today. He felt weird. It was hard for him to get close to her in the past!

”Royal Uncle...” ”It's, it's Prince Jing Ling?” Madam Huang was shocked.

Prince Jing Ling's men saved Bai Zhiling, so even if they wanted to spread some rumors, they had to be a little afraid.

Bai Zhiling's anger was not to be trifled with. A king who had not appeared in the capital for so many years was not to be trifled with!
