Ning Yan'er was acting so recklessly. It seemed that she was hell - bent on killing them all. None of the three of them would be spared.
Liu Rumei sneered inwardly. She had underestimated the hatred in Ning Yan'er's heart. The woman had gone so crazy that she even dared to capture Mo Litian!
Ye Zhe immediately shook his head. "This subordinate will surely protect the princess."
If he were to leave Liu Rumei here, he would have no face to return to the Prince of Guo'an's Mansion and face the prince!
A cold glint flashed across Mo Litian's eyes. "I don't believe that the Marquis of Huaiyuan would really dare to do this!"
Ye Zhe couldn't help but let out a cold laugh, his tone full of mockery. "The Marquis of Huaiyuan is not a fool. Since he has taken action against you, he won't let you spread the news. In this world, only the dead can keep secrets."
This was an eternal truth!
Mo Litian's face turned a bit embarrassed. "There are no secrets that can be completely hidden in this world."
Although Ye Zhe's words made sense, would the Marquis of Huaiyuan really dare to do such a thing?
Hearing this, Ye Zhe fell silent and quietly stood beside Liu Rumei.
Liu Rumei felt extremely headache.
At this moment, there was someone even more troubled than Liu Rumei, and that was the Marquis of Huaiyuan.
"Why did you bring the Crown Prince back?"
If this matter were to spread and someone got hold of the evidence, the entire Marquis of Huaiyuan's Mansion would probably be executed and their family property confiscated.
Although Mo Litian was not what he used to be, the downfall of Queen Qi had a great impact on him, but he was still the emperor's son after all.
If something happened to him, could Mo Yun spare them?
Ning Yan'er's eyes were full of hatred. The plan had been going so well, and she had chosen such a perfect opportunity. But an unexpected person had appeared and disrupted their whole plan.
"Father, I had no choice. The Crown Prince suddenly showed up. If we hadn't brought him back, we would have been in great trouble long ago."
After saying that, as if remembering something, her voice was filled with gritted teeth. "Father, don't you know? This bitch has bewitched the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince saw me, and he will surely not let the Marquis of Huaiyuan's Mansion go! Father, we have no other choice."
"Father, we might as well go all the way. Together..."
Her tone was full of sinister and cold killing intent, which was hard to ignore.
It was undeniable that this was indeed the most appropriate way at the moment, but he was the Crown Prince of the country after all...
The Marquis of Huaiyuan couldn't help but rub his temples. His eyes were full of confusion. "Let me think it over carefully."
Ning Yan'er was anxious. She said angrily, "Father, what are you still thinking about? The prince has already found out about us. If we don't make a decision quickly, we may be regarded as part of the Crown Prince's faction! Now that the Crown Prince is in a weak position and the queen has fallen, we have no other way out!"
"Please rest assured, Father. Once I become the princess of the Prince of Guo'an, I will surely not forget your kindness. I believe the prince will also be grateful to you. By then, why should we worry about the glory of the Marquis of Huaiyuan's Mansion not returning?"
These words really tempted the Marquis of Huaiyuan, but the fight for the throne was not a simple matter.
The one sitting on the throne now was Mo Yun. Although Mo Liandi was in a high - ranking and powerful position, his claim to the throne was not entirely legitimate.
Moreover, Mo Yun had always been wary of Mo Liandi and probably had preparations in secret...
The fight for the throne was far from over, and anything could happen!
If they touched the Crown Prince, there would be no turning back for the Marquis of Huaiyuan's Mansion.
Seeing that the Marquis of Huaiyuan was still hesitating, Ning Yan'er gritted her teeth. "Father, you arranged for me to marry the prince. Isn't this what you were planning? Or do you think the prince will fail?"
"Father, the prince is in a high - ranking and powerful position. How could that person be the prince's opponent? Father, what are you still hesitating about?"
If they waited until the matter was settled, it would be too late for the Marquis of Huaiyuan's Mansion to gain any benefits.
It was said that true friendship was seen in times of trouble. In this situation, if the Marquis of Huaiyuan's Mansion took the initiative to offer their support, the prince would surely not refuse.
The Marquis of Huaiyuan looked at Ning Yan'er, who was determined. After hesitating for a moment, he finally gritted his teeth and nodded. "Fine! But I will handle this matter. You have never seen the Crown Prince."
And Ye Zhe also had to be secretly disposed of!
Ning Yan'er was overjoyed. Her eyes were full of smiles. "Thank you, Father!"
...
In the darkness, a slow footsteps approached. The three people in the room all opened their eyes. Ye Zhe and Mo Litian's eyes were cold. They subconsciously blocked Liu Rumei behind them.
After a while, the darkness in the room was instantly dispelled to the corner. Ning Yan'er's smiling eyes appeared in their sight. "Your Highness the Crown Prince, Guard Ye, please forgive my rudeness."
So what if they were highly skilled in martial arts? Now they were her prisoners. Who could protect you this time, Liu Rumei!
Mo Litian said coldly, "The Princess Anning is really brave!"
Ning Yan'er smiled. "Your Highness the Crown Prince is joking."
After saying that, the black - clothed men behind her suddenly stepped forward and took Mo Litian and Ye Zhe away.
The two were filled with anger, but their limbs were weak and they were unable to resist.
"Is the Princess Anning really determined to go against the prince?" If something really happened to the princess, the entire Marquis of Huaiyuan's Mansion would not be enough to compensate!
Ning Yan'er's face was full of smiles, but they did not reach her eyes. "Guard Ye, you'd better take care of yourself."
How could she go against him? Everything she did was for his own good. One day he would understand that in this world, only she, Ning Yan'er, could be on a par with him. Liu Rumei? Hmph, she was nothing!
When the surroundings fell silent, Ning Yan'er finally looked at the woman sitting in the corner. Her eyes were full of endless mockery. "This princess has given you a chance. It's your own fault that you don't know your place and are looking for death. It has nothing to do with this princess!"
Liu Rumei looked calm. There was not the slightest trace of fear on her face. She sat quietly in place without saying a word.
Ning Yan'er hated this look of hers the most. The hatred on her face almost distorted her features. "Don't you like corpses? This princess will fulfill your wish today!"
After saying that, she took out something from her body and smilingly scattered it on Liu Rumei. "There are plenty of corpses in the mass grave. It's just the right place for you to study to your heart's content!"
"This princess almost forgot. There are not only a lot of corpses in that place, but also countless snakes, insects, rats and ants, as well as wolves... Miss Liu, are you satisfied with the place this princess has found for you?"
Watching helplessly as the flesh on her body was devoured, struggling painfully among the piled - up corpses until there was nothing left of her bones!
Liu Rumei looked coldly at Ning Yan'er in front of her and finally uttered two words, "Crazy!"
