Chapter 56 (2/2)

She lifted her hand to open Ning Xuemo’s acupoints. “Get up and come outside with me.”

Ning Xuemo moved around a bit to lessen the soreness in her limbs. Her wounds still painfully burned, and because of that, her body was far from being nimble like usual.

Furthermore, the princess was clearly an expert in psychokinesis, and trying to escape under her watchful eyes was wishful thinking. On the contrary, doing so might cause her to experience more suffering.

Therefore, Ning Xuemo absolutely would not commit such folly. She only thought of delaying a bit…

With all her strength, she would delay arriving at the Ministry of Justice to provide time for the crown prince to return.

If she had known earlier that this would happen, she would not have been against the crown prince sharing the same room with her!

Ji Yunyao became impatient. “Why are your movements so slow? Hurry up!”

In her heart, Ning Xuemo somewhat questioned Ji Yunyao’s ancestry; but, on the outside, she showed a lovable face. “Yes, Princess. This lowly one received a few wounds and they cause me quite a bit of pain, hence my movements are slowed. Please forgive me.”

Ji Yunyao knew about the matter of Ning Xuemo being lashed and also knew of the the Soul Breaking Whip’s might. Therefore, although she gave a snort, she no longer hurried Ning Xuemo.

Ning Xuemo had already delayed time as much as possible. She had managed to use up a quarter of an hour by tidying herself. In this period of time, she kept an eye out outside through the window. She cursed despairingly in her heart, ‘Where did Ji Yunhuang, this bastard, run off to? Why wasn’t he back yet?’
