He pressed the knife in his hand down a little more, and the blood at the blade flowed more violently. The human neck is fragile. If Yan Muxi exerted a little more force, Prince Rui's throat would be cut and he would die.

But the twin sisters looked calm and composed. They didn't even look at King Rui and forcefully snatched the knife from Yan Muxi's hand.

The moment the knife left her hand, Yan Muxi's heart sank to the bottom. She had lost her last lifeline. If no one came to rescue her in time, she would be at the mercy of others.

Prince Rui's wounds were still bleeding and his body was still unable to move. Yan Muxi watched the two sisters strip Prince Rui's clothes one by one and then strip her clothes.

She struggled with all her might, but facing an absolutely powerful warrior, her resistance was like a drop of water falling into the sea.

Soon, her coat, middle shirt, and skirt were stripped off one by one, leaving only her bellyband and underpants.

"Stop, don't touch me, I'll do it myself, I'll take it off myself." Yan Muxi stopped struggling and stared at the two sisters with her watery eyes filled with fear, but her pleading was useless, they reached for the bellyband.

"No~~" She closed her eyes, not daring to face the humiliation of being naked.

However, the expected coolness did not come.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw the two sisters falling to the ground with their eyes open. It was an extremely strange scene.

Without thinking too much, she picked up the torn clothes and put them on one by one tremblingly.

After fastening the last button, her frightened heart finally calmed down a little. She looked at Prince Rui standing beside her, and hurriedly picked up the quilt to cover most of Prince Rui's exposed body.

At this moment, King Rui was no longer shouting, his face was pale and filled with fear.

Seeing Yan Muxi jump over him and off the bed, he finally regained some of his rationality, "Aunt Wang, help me, help me get rid of the poison, I'm dying."

Fearing that Yan Muxi would have reservations, he swore and begged, "I swear on my life that I will never covet Aunt Wang again. I will never covet her again. Aunt Wang, please let me go..."

The twin sisters who fell to the ground were secret guards who had followed him for many years and were rewarded by his father when he was young. Why did the two of them act without regard for his safety? King Rui did not dare to think deeply about the reason.

Yan Muxi, who had calmed down, also realized that the twin sisters were not King Rui's people, and King Rui was a prey just like her.

But who was plotting against them? And who helped them?

Prince Rui was an adult man who knew kung fu, and the wound on his neck was only a superficial wound and not fatal. Yan Muxi did not dare to take the risk. He ignored Prince Rui's call for help, quickly put on his shoes, and staggered to the door.

Just as she was about to step out of the threshold, she was suddenly blocked by a long sword. She looked up, and when she saw the person in front of her clearly, Yan Muxi's eyes suddenly widened.

"It's you?"

The owner of the sword did not say a word. He glanced at the person standing in the yard, sheathed the sword and stepped aside.

The man in the courtyard was wearing a dark cloak and standing with his hands behind his back. His body was as thin as a bamboo.

Yan Muxi also saw the figure standing in the yard, a figure that couldn't be more familiar.

She pulled her coat closer, took several deep breaths, and then called out, "Dad!"

Yan Yongchen turned around, looking calm and indifferent as usual, and asked Yan Muxi, "Are you okay?"

Perhaps she was so panicked that she no longer felt afraid. Facing the person who should have been in the imperial prison and was imprisoned by her own hands, Yan Muxi's mood was unusually calm.

She looked at Yan Yongchen with tears in her eyes and asked, "My daughter is fine. Did my father save me?" Seeing that Yan Yongchen did not deny it, she asked again, "How did my father know that my daughter was abducted and brought here?"

She knew she shouldn't ask such a stupid question. Yan Yongchen's appearance explained everything. If Yan Yongchen was not the one who harmed her behind her back, then he was the one who knew everything.

But before they end up falling out, she still wanted to try to negotiate with him, just in case.

——It is believed that Yan Yongchen had no idea what she had done, and her appearance today was just a coincidence.

"Big Brother~Big Brother~" A young man's voice suddenly came from not far away.

After a short while, there was a creaking sound, and the door on the left was pushed open, and a boy of about fourteen or fifteen appeared inside.

The boy was of medium height and fat. He was visibly stunned when he saw the people standing in the courtyard. Then he asked in confusion, "This is the royal private garden. Why are you here? Where is my eldest brother?"

The young man was none other than the lame Sixth Prince. The princes of Dafeng were usually granted the title of king when they left the palace. The Sixth Prince lost the qualification to seize the throne due to his leg injury, and was named the Virtuous King in advance by Emperor Yuanjing.

Seeing that they did not answer, the Sixth Prince shouted: "I am asking you questions, are you all deaf or dumb? Be careful or I will punish you."

In an instant, the loud shouting stopped abruptly. The scene before her eyes was so shocking that Yan Muxi quickly covered her mouth and nose with her hands to prevent herself from screaming.

The owner of the long sword, Yan Da, actually pierced the throat of the Sixth Prince with one sword and killed him.

Not until the Sixth Prince with wide-open eyes was dragged to her front did Yan Muxi come back to her senses. She staggered back, leaned against the door, and then squatted on the ground.

The Sixth Prince was dragged into the house and placed beside Prince Rui's bed. Prince Rui looked at the scene with bloodshot eyes. He wanted to get up and fight hard, but his body could not move at all.

When his eyes met Yan Da's, the anger in King Rui's eyes turned into fear in an instant, "Don't kill me, don't kill me, I will give you whatever you want, I only ask you not to kill me..."

The shout from Prince Rui pulled Yan Muxi out of her fear. She looked at Yan Yongchen, who was still standing with his hands behind his back, and asked in a trembling voice, "He is the virtuous prince, the prince of the Heavenly Family. How could you massacre the prince?"

"So what if he's a prince? He's all flesh and blood, why can't he be killed?" Yan Yongchen's expression was still calm and indifferent, and his tone was also calm, so calm that it seemed as if killing the prince was the most common thing.

Yan Muxi didn't know where he got the strength from, but he stood up suddenly and shouted hoarsely: "You killed the prince of the royal family, and my mother will be implicated by you. The entire Yan family and everyone will be implicated!"

"But if I don't kill him, you will be the one to die." After a moment of silence, Yan Yongchen looked up at the sky, "In another half a quarter of an hour, Prince Rong, your husband will come here to catch you in adultery. If he sees you being humiliated... Sister Xi, guess who will die first, Prince Rui, Yu Wantai, or you who died to apologize for your sins?"

The Queen Mother, Prince Rui, catching an adulterer, Yu Wantai, dying to atone for the crime... Yan Muxi's mind was a mess. She clenched her fists and pinched her palms, trying to regain her sanity.

Who wants to harm her? No, who wants to deal with Prince Rong's Mansion?

Yan Yongchen suddenly took a step forward, and Yan Muxi subconsciously wanted to step back, but the door frame was behind him and he had nowhere to go.

Yan Yongchen stopped half a step away from her, took off his cloak and put it on her.

She raised her eyes in surprise, and when their eyes met, she actually saw pity in Yan Yongchen's eyes.

It is natural for a father to have compassion on his daughter, but Yan Yongchen is not an ordinary father. He is so cold-blooded that he is worse than a beast. How could he possibly have compassion on her?
