The daughter of the emperor was reborn and was spoiled by the sickly prince.

It was late at night, and the lights in the palaces had dimmed. Only the guards on duty were still patrolling the palace.

Gu Mingzhao strode out of the main hall.

A sack was thrown casually on the ground, and the person inside was motionless.

Gu Mingzhao frowned slightly, and an unhappy aura emanated from him.

"I said, you have to be alive." He said in a deep voice.

Qing Feng quickly explained: "Your Highness, she is not dead, she was just knocked unconscious. This person is too noisy, in order to avoid alerting the guards, I can only resort to this last resort."

Gu Mingzhao's expression softened a bit, and he ordered, "Take her to the stable."

Qing Feng did not dare to delay. He quickly picked up the sack, left the palace and headed for the stable in the paddock.

The paddock was quiet, with no one in sight.

The horses in the stable were also asleep.

Gu Mingzhao signaled Qingfeng to untie the sack.

The sack opened, revealing the curled up figure of a woman inside.

It was An Linglong who had been sent out of the capital by Concubine An.

Her originally gorgeous clothes were now covered in dust, and her hands and feet were tied with ropes, making her look miserable.

Gu Mingzhao stood with his hands behind his back and said, "Wake her up."

Qing Feng quickly scooped two buckets of water from the trough next to him and poured them mercilessly on An Linglong's face.

The cold water mixed with the peculiar stench of the stable instantly woke An Linglong up.

She opened her eyes and saw Qing Feng in front of her, a hint of fear flashed in her eyes.

However, she soon returned to her arrogant nature and yelled at Qing Feng: "You bold thief! Do you know who I am? My aunt is Concubine An, you'd better let me go, otherwise I will kill all your clans!"

Gu Mingzhao spoke coldly, his voice filled with a chill that made people shudder: "Then do you know who you have offended?"

"Gu Mingzhao?" An Linglong widened her eyes, and with the faint moonlight, she finally saw that there was another person.

She never thought that the person who kidnapped her would be him.

"Gu Mingzhao! You are just a king of a different surname, and you dare to kidnap me! My cousin is the second prince! He is the son that the emperor relies on the most! When my cousin ascends the throne, do you think you can still call the shots like this?"

An Linglong struggled and threatened Gu Mingzhao with the identity of the second prince.

However, Gu Mingzhao didn't care at all about her insults and disrespect to the emperor.

He asked, "Who gave you the courage to harm Liao Qinglan?"

An Linglong was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Hahahahahahahahaha, you actually did it for that bitch!"

Her laughter was full of sarcasm and disdain.

Gu Mingzhao's eyes were cold, and he kicked An Linglong in the heart, knocking her to the ground.

He never hits women, but in his eyes, An Linglong is no longer even a human being.

An Linglong was lying on the ground, barely breathing. But she was still unwilling to give in. She coughed and cursed, "You are such a despicable person. She left you and flirted with Wang Tingzhi. Maybe they had already got engaged. And you actually stood up for her! I can see that you are getting green on your head! Hahahaha!"

When he heard Wang Tingzhi's name, Gu Mingzhao became even angrier.

He glanced at An Linglong coldly and said impatiently: "I woke you up not to listen to your nonsense, but just to tell you not to mess with people you shouldn't mess with in your next life."

Then, he turned to look at Qing Feng: "Use your method to greet her, then tie her hands and feet, and let the horse drag her away, just take the same road that Lan Er took to go up the mountain today."

He must make the culprit pay double for what Lan'er has suffered!

The next day, Liao Qinglan followed the imperial physician's instructions and prepared to hide in her room to rest for a few days.

While she was concentrating on recuperating, Jinxiu ran in mysteriously, with an expression of surprise and excitement on her face.

Jinxiu leaned close to Liao Qinglan's ear and said, "Miss, this is terrible. Do you know what happened outside?"

Liao Qinglan thought that the autumn hunting season was nothing more than some fun hunting experiences or accidents.

She had just had a scare yesterday, so she asked without much interest, "Who hunted the tiger or the black bear?"

Jinxiu shook her head like a rattle: "No! Miss, you will never guess! It's An Linglong! She's crazy!"

Liao Qinglan couldn't help but ask, "An Linglong? Didn't she leave the capital yesterday?"

"I don't know either. I heard that the guards who were patrolling the mountain found her on the top of the mountain early in the morning. Her hands and feet were tied and she was dragged on the ground by the horse. There was blood all the way from the camp to the top of the mountain!"

She didn't even need to think about it, she knew it must have been Gu Mingzhao who did this crazy thing!

"How is An Linglong now?"

"I heard that her skin was torn to pieces, there was not a single piece of healthy flesh on her body, and she had so many broken bones that I couldn't even count them. When Concubine An saw her appearance, she fainted out of fright."

It sounds miserable indeed.

Gu Mingzhao is still a madman and never cares about the consequences of what he wants to do.

However, An Linglong almost caused her death yesterday, and she was not magnanimous enough to feel sympathy for An Linglong.

"Did she tell me who kidnapped her?" Liao Qinglan asked tentatively.

Jinxiu shook her head: "No, she is a little mentally ill, and she doesn't answer any questions. The guards said that when they saw her, she was already like this, and they couldn't get any useful information from her."

Liao Qinglan continued to ask: "Are there any clues?"

"There is no clue at all. An Linglong seemed to have fallen from the sky." Jinxiu said.

Fortunately, no one should suspect Gu Mingzhao.

Jinxiu lowered her voice and whispered, "Miss, do you think someone is venting your anger?"

Liao Qinglan rolled her eyes at her and said, "Don't talk nonsense! Words can cause trouble, don't you know? An Linglong is usually arrogant and domineering. This is not the first time she and I have had a disagreement. There is no need to bother with her."

"An Linglong has been causing trouble for you for two days in a row. Many people outside speculate that it was you, young lady, who was responsible." Jinxiu said hesitantly.

Liao Qinglan was stunned.

She was still worried about Gu Mingzhao, but she didn't expect that she was the one being suspected...

Gu Mingzhao really caused her a lot of trouble!

Liao Qinglan looked at Jinxiu and said, "Jinxiu, go prepare a generous gift for me. It should be conspicuous and visible to everyone. I want to give it to Wang Tingzhi."

Jinxiu was surprised and delighted: "Miss, you mean that this was done by Prince Wang?"

Liao Qinglan covered Jinxiu's mouth and said with a smile: "Don't guess, I didn't say anything."

Liao Qinglan was very satisfied to see that Jinxiu had misunderstood.

This is exactly the effect she wanted.

——Let others turn their suspicious eyes to Wang Tingzhi.

Speaking of which, the rumors between Wang Tingzhi and her were rampant. She didn't believe that Wang Tingzhi hadn't fanned the flames.

Since I've taken advantage of her for so long, I should at least pay some interest.
