Chapter 55 (1/2)

Chapter 55 – Forbidden Love (1)

She shut her eyes and used the internal force that she had recently acquired through cultivation to attack her sealed acupuncture points.

Relying on yourself is better than relying on other people. She had to rescue herself! First, she had to regain her ability to move!

After all, her body’s foundation proves to be too weak. The internal force that she had gathered was extremely limited in both quantity and quality. Furthermore, Ji Yunhuang had used a special method to seal her acupoints; hence, she would not be able to open them for a while.

While she was focused on maneuvering her internal force to open her acupoints, she suddenly heard the melodious voice of a young lady drift over. “Why are you making such a ruckus at my older brother’s place?”

Lord Lu answered, “Greetings to her highness, the princess! Grand Marshal Hu’s daughter died suddenly after returning to her residence today, and Ning Xuemo is the prime suspect. This one carries the Imperial Decree to arrest her, but the butler won’t allow me in…”

Although they were separated by half a courtyard, Ning Xuemo who had already focused her attention on anything Lord Lu said had heard his words very clearly. The shocking news blared inside her mind!

‘Hu Diechang died?! How can it be?’ At that time, the acupoints she had hit should have only affected the fetus and Hu Diechang’s fertility in the future. How could she die all of a sudden?

The butler once again repeated his words, but this time, she heard the princess coldly chuckling. “Even if other people can’t enter my older brother’s, the crown prince’s, sleeping quarters, I can. The Imperial Decree cannot be disobeyed; I shall help you resolve this matter this time.”

Her voice had only just died down when the door to the sleeping quarters was suddenly forced open. Ning Xuemo blinked and saw a fine-looking young lady already standing before the bed.

She looked to be around 17-18 years of age and had a pair of phoenix eyes. Her cherry blossom colored glossy lips were lightly pursed, and her long pitch black hair was bound up into a bun with a jade hairpin accessory inserted in it. The white jade hairpin bore the shape of a white peony. She wore a moon white muslin gown and looked like a fairy. However, unlike her appearance, her aura felt powerful and immensely threatening. .

She looked down on Ning Xuemo from above and sized  her up from head to toe. In the depths of her eyes, a sinister light quickly flitted by. “So you’re Ning Xuemo? So young, yet as charming as a little vixen. I don’t know what kind of underhanded means you used on my older brother to unexpectedly allow you to stay in his bedroom and sully his reputation!”

This princess seemed very hostile towards her!
