Female Master: The Cold Prince

"Your Highness, are we ready to set off now?" asked the servant accompanying the carriage.

He looked deeply at the city gate for the last time. Even though he was very reluctant, he finally let go of the curtain and said, "Let's go!"

From now on, we will never meet again.

On the city wall, in an inconspicuous position, stood a stunningly beautiful woman in red.

She came after all, not for anything else, just so that the two of them could at least get to know each other.

It's enough for her to know this farewell.

After Prince Yuxia returned home, there was another wave of excitement in the capital. The beloved Prince Chen finally returned to his unmarried status, making many unmarried men cry with joy and gradually regain their previous desire to compete for beauty.

In the cold palace.

Passing through the dilapidated and paint-chipped palace gate, one could see a few crooked dead trees in the courtyard, overgrown weeds and spider webs everywhere.

Looking at the bleak and desolate scene before him, an unknown deep meaning flashed across Ling Guijun's eyes.

He walked towards the door that was not even covered with paper, and pushed open the dusty door. Perhaps it was too shabby, the door panel made a creaking sound, and there was an indescribable eerie feeling.

Instantly, an unpleasant musty smell wafted into his nose, and Ling Guijun couldn't help but frown.

The person curled up in the corner raised his head when he heard the sound, and when he saw the person coming, he suddenly became excited and his expression gradually became ferocious.

"Ling Yiqing, what are you doing here!"

Ling Yiqing looked around the simple surroundings, randomly found a relatively clean place to sit down, and said with a smile: "What for? Of course, I came to see your joke."

"You!" Xu Ziqiao was so angry that his chest hurt, and he could only glare at the other person fiercely.

After not seeing each other for a few days, Xu Zijiao had long lost his former arrogance and domineering attitude. He even changed into plain clothes made of coarse cloth. This time he looked furious, like a defeated peacock.

The smile in Ling Yiqing's eyes gradually disappeared, and his cold eyes shot directly at the other person.

"Xu Ziqiao, I came here today just to tell you that I know everything you have done, including the fact that you secretly sent assassins to kill my daughter."

There was no emotion in his tone, as if he was talking about something insignificant.

Hearing this, Xu Ziqiao's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He had done this matter in secret, so how did he know about it?

Seeing a flash of panic in his eyes, Ling Yiqing's eyes became colder and his whole aura changed.

It was a fierce and oppressive aura, full of intense danger and terrifying.

Xu Ziqiao was shocked when he saw Ling Yiqing, who suddenly became a completely different person, and was even more frightened.

"I don't know what you are talking about. I didn't do anything. I am wronged!" Xu Ziqiao said in a trembling voice.

He had never seen Ling Yiqing so dangerous. In his memory, Ling Yiqing was always as warm as the breeze, with a gentle aura and without any aggressiveness.

"Unjust? Do you really think that your little tricks can be hidden from me?" Ling Yiqing stood up, approaching him step by step with an overwhelming aura.

Xu Ziqiao was already feeling guilty, and at this moment he had no momentum at all. He was completely suppressed by the opponent's terrifying momentum.

His body was out of control and he wanted to escape, but how could Ling Yiqing give him the chance? He was forced to retreat step by step.

"I didn't!" He said, suppressing the panic in his heart.

The opponent's relentless pressure had already pushed him into a corner, and he forced himself to calm down.

Seeing that he had nowhere to retreat, Ling Yiqing instead widened the distance between them and retreated to one meter away.

"No? Xu Ziqiao, do you want me to help you recall how you arranged for people to assassinate my daughter?" Ling Yiqing said, suppressing the anger in his heart.

His daughter is his life. When he learned that his daughter was about to return triumphantly, he secretly sent Qiu Se to protect her, because he knew very well that the journey would not be peaceful.

Sure enough, within a few days, he received a letter from Qiu Se, saying that Prince Chen had been assassinated.

So he pretended to have caught a cold and secretly tried to find out who was the mastermind, and finally he found out.

"I didn't do that, Ling Yiqing, stop slandering me. Why did I want to assassinate Prince Chen?" Xu Zijiao argued for himself. Without the strong sense of oppression, he no longer felt nervous as before.

Even though the other person's eyes were gloomy and terrifying, he could not admit it. Assassinating the princess was a capital crime.

"Of course it's for your good daughter! Do you think I'm right?"

Ling Yiqing retracted his fierce eyes, and the terrifying aura on his body instantly retreated at this moment. He returned to his usual gentle and elegant appearance, with a faint smile on the corners of his mouth.

Hearing him mention his daughter, Xu Ziqiao felt nervous inside, but he tried to remain calm.

"Don't think that I can't find out just because you did it secretly. Based on your few tricks, I tell you, you are still a little naive." Ling Yiqing looked at him with disdain in his eyes.

"Xu Ziqiao, you should be thankful that my daughter has returned safely, otherwise, I will make your life worse than death!"

Xu Ziqiao was so shocked by his words that he couldn't find his voice. He believed that Ling Yiqing had this ability. After all, there were only a few people who could always be favored by the empress in the harem and sit firmly on the throne of a noble monarch.

He couldn't help but regret his original decision. Why did he have to provoke him?

"By the way, you may not know what happened to Prince Duan after he arrived in Huihe County!" Ling Yiqing suddenly changed the subject.

Hearing this, Xu Ziqiao's heart instantly rose again, and he looked a little flustered and asked: "What did you say?"

His daughter is his last resort, and nothing can happen to her. He also hopes that after his daughter returns, she will be able to rescue him from the cold palace.

"I heard that after Prince Duan arrived in Huihe County, he not only did not provide disaster relief to the people, but also colluded with the local bandits. Unexpectedly, the ministers who accompanied him discovered this."

"So the minister secretly took precautions and took advantage of the situation to kill most of the bandits. After this severe blow, the bandits suffered heavy losses and blamed it all on Prince Duan."

"Therefore, Prince Duan was unfortunately kidnapped by the bandits and taken back to the mountain stronghold. What do you think the brutal bandits will do to the innocent Prince Duan next?" Ling Yiqing said every word clearly.

Hearing these words, Xu Ziqiao's heart was suddenly in turmoil and his face turned pale instantly.

"You're talking nonsense. How could Yan'er collude with bandits? This must be a lie you made up on purpose!" Xu Zijiao shouted in a panic. He held onto the wall behind him with one hand to steady his shaky body.

Seeing that he was completely panicked, Ling Yiqing ignored his shaky figure, took out a booklet from his arms and threw it to him.

"Is this nonsense? You will know it if you see it yourself."
