Shen Yijia’s punch was wrapped in killing intent. The wind from her punch stirred the hair on Xuanyuan Ye’s temples.

At the critical moment, an aura suddenly attacked her from behind.

Shen Yijia had no choice but to retract her hand and dodge.

It was also during this time that another black shadow quickly retreated with Xuanyuan Ye.

Looking at the two men in black standing in front of Xuanyuan Ye, Shen Yijia frowned. The auras of these two people did not seem to belong to the Demon Guards.

Before she could figure it out, Xuanyuan Ye had already explained to her in a trembling voice, “They’re secret guards sent by Imperial Uncle to protect me. If you kill me today, Imperial Uncle will immediately know. If you leave now, I can pretend that nothing happened…’

Xuanyuan Ye could not understand why Shen Yijia still clung to her even though Bai Zhi had already admitted that she was the one who spread the rumors.

Was it unnecessary for her to ask Bai Zhi to admit it?

How could she have known that Shen Yijia did not know about the scene where Bai Zhi was acting with her at all? However, even if she knew, she would have a.s.sumed that she was the one who instigated it.

Secret guards? Shen Yijia sized up the two men in black. They were not as powerful as the Demon Guards and could be beaten up!

With this thought in mind, she clenched her fists and was about to rush forward when a familiar aura grabbed her arm.

Shen Yijia reflexively retracted her hand and stood still. She turned around and smiled sweetly at the person beside her. “Hubby.”

Song Jingchen’s anger immediately dissipated when he saw her smile. He said helplessly, “Let’s go home first.”

“No, she’s the one who spread those rumors. I have to kill her today.”

“It’s not me.” Xuanyuan Ye pushed himself up. “I’m not the one who said that you’re the Saintess. It’s Bai Zhi. She’s infected with the plague. She doesn’t want to die, and I don’t know where she heard those rumors, so…

“She couldn’t stand the fact she couldn’t beat me, so she thought of this vicious method to kill me. Hubby, do you believe what I said?” Shen Yijia ignored Xuanyuan Ye’s words.

To be precise, she didn’t believe anything Xuanyuan Ye said.

Xuanyuan Ye choked and quickly shook her head. “It’s not me. It’s really not me!”

“Yes, I believe you,” Song Jingchen said to Shen Yijia.

Xuanyuan Ye was speechless.

Could these two people not hear her at all ? The condemned prisoners could still say their last words before they died, let alone these people who had no evidence at all.

Shen Yijia was delighted. “Then I…”

“Let’s go home first. Mother was worried about you when she realized that you weren’t in your room,” Song Jingchen said.

“It’s fine. It won’t take long to kill her.”

Song Jingchen sighed. “She deserves to die, but not now.”

Xuanyuan Ye was not Lord Jing’an’s daughter, but the emperor and the empress dowager still let her enjoy the status of a princess. It could be seen how much the two of them doted on her. If she was killed like this, Jiajia would turn from a victim to a perpetrator.

This wouldn’t do her any good.

“I believe you. Of course I believe you. Lees go home.”

The two of them finished discussing if Xuanyuan Ye should die as if no one was around and left. Xuanyuan Ye felt even more embarra.s.sed than when she was beaten up just now. She was so angry that her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

The two secret guards looked at each other and disappeared from the hall.

The palace maids quickly came in and carried her to the bed. Under the arrangements of the head palace maid, they searched for medicine and fetched water.

Xuanyuan Ye was thrown to the ground by Shen Yijia. Her arms were covered in bruises and abrasions, and she had been slapped no less than ten times. Her cheeks were swollen and she lay on the bed like a rag. The palace maids who were applying medicine for her gasped.

When Xuanyuan Ye woke up, 15 minutes had pa.s.sed.

Looking at the vermilion canopy, she felt as if a lifetime had pa.s.sed.

“Princess, you’re awake.” The head palace maid gently hung up the bed canopy.

Xuanyuan Ye struggled to sit up, not wanting to pull at her wound because of this. She hissed in pain. The head palace maid quickly helped her lean against the bedhead. “Princess, please take care of your injuries. The imperial physician specifically instructed you not to leave the palace for the next few days. ”

Her words seemed to remind Xuanyuan Ye of something. She suddenly clenched her fists. ‘Get out.”

The head palace maid called out worriedly, “Princess.”

“Get out, all of you get out, ” Xuanyuan Ye shouted. Tears welled up in his eyes because of the pain on her face.

The head palace maid did not dare to provoke her anymore and left with her men.

After they left, Xuanyuan Ye quickly lifted the blanket and staggered out of bed. When she saw the handkerchief on the table, her pupils constricted. After a long time, she reached out with trembling hands.

Under the eaves outside the hall, a few young palace maids and elder palace maids were guarding. One of the young palace maids suddenly let out a long sigh. “The princess is quite pitiful. Sister Ruo Mei, how could the empress dowager bear to leave her in Phoenix City?”

Ruo Mei was a palace maid. She looked at the high palace wall. “The empress dowager has always doted on the princess. She must be doing this for her own good.”

“But that Madam Song is too much. His Highness has just announced her ident.i.ty, and she’s already bullying our princess. Who knows what will happen in the future.”

“Chun Xi!” Ruo Mei interrupted her. “Master’s matters are not something we can interfere in.”

“But…” The little palace maid called Chun Xi looked around. “Have you heard? The plague this time is not incurable.”

Everyone looked over.

“I heard it from others. There are rumors outside the palace that Madam Song’s blood can cure the plague, but Madam Song refused to help. His Highness even chased away all the people who went to beg her.”

“Otherwise, why do you think His Highness suddenly revealed Madam Song’s background? Isn’t he worried that the commoners will harm her?”

“His Highness thinks for Madam Song in everything. Even His Highness protects her. It’s just that I pity the princess.”

The door behind him opened, and Chun Xi quickly stopped talking.

Ruo Mei went up to her. “Princess, why are you out? Your body…”

“I’m fine.” A veil hung on Xuanyuan Ye’s face. She took out a letter. “Go and ask them to help me send this letter to Imperial Grandmother.”

sne guessed tnat xuanyuan ye was gomg to complain to Empress Dowager Zhou. Ruo Mei agreed and reached out to take it. However, the moment her hand touched the envelope, Xuanyuan Ye suddenly retracted her hand.

“Princess?” Ruo Mei was puzzled.

Xuanyuan Ye’s fingertips turned white as she held the envelope. In a place that no one could see, she was even trembling slightly.

“Forget it, it’s better not to.”

Before she could finish, a little palace maid rushed in. “Not good, not good. His

Highness has sent people to surround the Longevity Palace.”

After Xuanyuan Ye was brought out of the secret prison by Empress Dowager Zhou, she had been staying in the side hall of the Longevity Palace.

Instead of saying that they surrounded the Longevity Palace, it was more appropriate to say that they surrounded her.

Xuanyuan Ye’s eyes turned sharp. Without any hesitation, she stuffed the letter into Ruo Mei’s hand.

“Help me send this letter out. It must be delivered to Imperial Grandmother.”

Thinking about how difficult Xuanyuan Ye’s situation had been recently, Ruo Mei suppressed the strange feeling in her heart and left with the letter..
