Chapter 33: Killing Guan Lingruo for a Guaranteed Profit

since Your Highness has said so, I naturally won't make things difficult for you. A gentleman doesn't take what others desire. Although I am not a gentleman, whether or not to give it is your own fre...Upon hearing this, Qingxuan immediately understood that Princess Lingruo, regardless of the filth and stench, was determined to force her way in to see Nangong Ye.

Qingxuan: “The visitor is not kind.”

Nan Gong Ye also did not expect that a woman he didn't even remember well would harbor resentment towards him and plan to take advantage of his near-death situation to humiliate him.

The guards outside the courtyard still blocked Ling Ruo.

Although Nan Gong Ye's current situation is a laughingstock, the royal face and the emperor's face still need to be considered.

The guards outside the courtyard weren't just there to prevent Qing Xuan from escaping, but also to stop those who didn't have any sense from coming to see Nangong Ye at this time.

Outside, Ling Luo glared angrily at the guards who were blocking her.

Ling Ruo: “You dog thing, you dare to stop me”

Fortunately, the guards at the gate were like mountains, standing firmly in Ling Luo's way, unyielding.

As a county princess, she had swaggered into the manor with an imposing air. She hadn't expected to be blocked by a dog on her way to meet Nan Gong Ye!

The guards in front of her refused to let her in, so Ling Ruo drew her long sword from her waist and pointed it at the guard's neck.

Ling Ruo: "If you dare to be so insolent in front of this princess again, I will kill you!"

The guard hadn't expected Ling Ruo to suddenly attack him.

The guardsman, however, still refused to yield even unto death: "Even in death, I cannot allow you to enter."

Ling Ruo: "You really won't shed tears until you see the coffin!"

Ling Ruozhen had murderous intent, just as she was about to kill the guard, a woman's icy voice came from behind her: "Presumptuous! Who dares to run wild in the prince's mansion!"

When he turned his head, he saw a woman in a moon-white gown and a woman's bun walking out of the courtyard.

Even the maidservants were unwilling to continue staying in Nan Gong Ye's courtyard. The woman before them was naturally Ji Qingxuan, who had married into Nan Gong Ye's household to be his bride for a celebratory occasion.

Who are you

Ling Ru guessed Qing Xuan's identity but pretended not to know.

Her contemptuous gaze swept back and forth over Qingxuan's body.

Qingxuan let out a cold snort: "Rumors say that Lady Ling Ru, when young, fell into a lake. I didn't expect her to actually have water in her head. Since I am in this courtyard, I am naturally the mistress here. Lady Ling Ru should call me Princess Consort."

"Addressing you as princess What do you think you are!"

Before Ling Ru came, she had specially investigated about Ji Qingxuan's background. Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected harvest. Ji Qingxuan was adopted under the name of Ji Duhou's legitimate wife. Her biological mother was Ji Duhou's concubine who was raised outside and couldn't get on the stage.

She originally thought that Ji Qingxuan would be a disheveled and terrified figure now, but to her surprise, the Ji Qingxuan standing before her not only dressed impeccably, but also had a calm demeanor, looking like a mistress. She even roundaboutly scolded her for having water in her head.

Ling's eyes blazed with anger: "You dare call yourself a princess in front of me"

As soon as Ling's voice fell, a cold light flashed.

She never expected the vile woman before her to suddenly draw a sword, pointing it straight at her heart.

Qingxuan is not skilled in martial arts, while Lingru is.

Ling Ruo was unable to dodge because she never expected that a bastard born from a concubine would dare to threaten her with a sword!

Ling Ruo: "You wretch! What do you want to do!"

Qingxuan's eyes became increasingly cold and sharp: "A princess, openly trespassing into the Duke's mansion and running wild on my territory You think I'm easy to bully Let me tell you the truth, with the current state of the Duke, he will die sooner or later. Everyone knows that when he dies, I will follow him in death. Since I don't have many days left anyway, killing you is like earning an extra life even after I die."

Ling Ru: "You!"

Ling froze, taking a sharp gasp of cold air.

She never expected the woman before her to be a lunatic!

Ling Ruo: “If you dare to touch even a single hair on my head, even if you die, my father will not let anyone from the Ji Du Houfu go!”

Ling Ru thought he was threatening Qing Xuan, but Qing Xuan sneered upon hearing this: "The people from Marquis Ji Du pushed me into the fire pit now. Do you think I would still care about their lives and deaths The better they die. I'll count to three. Put down the sword on the guard's neck and apologize to him. Otherwise, after three counts, I will make sure you can never leave this palace!"

Ling Ruo: “You dare!”

Qingxuan's expression was fierce, she clenched her sword tightly, and the tip of the blade plunged straight into Ling Ruo's flesh.

The pain coming from her chest scared Ling Ru, her face turning pale and her body trembling.scape Qīng Xuán and Nán Gōng Yè's gazes.But Qingxuan didn't care about other people's opinions anyway.Nan Gong Ye originally didn't care, but if the person looking down on him was his wife, then that...
