Chapter 360

Although King Pingyu was an idle Prince, he also secretly supported the Crown Prince’s faction. He had also provided a lot of money to said faction over the years and even respected the Crown Prince.

Once King Pingyu saw the jade pendant, he no longer dared to be arrogant as he pleaded repeatedly, “Fifth Princess, I didn’t know that this girl was your friend. I didn’t do anything to her, so please just take her back. Since we’re a family, there’s no need for violence, is there?”

Lin Feilu glanced at him and instructed Xiaohei, “Call for the Shadow Guards.”

Xiaohei took out a whistle from the cuff of his sleeves. The whistle sounded strange as it produced a unique sound, but after a while, a group of people in dark purple clothes appeared from outside the wall. They went straight to Lin Feilu, knelt down, and greeted, ” Princess.”

Only then did Lin Feilu let Xiaohei withdraw his blade.

It was impossible for King Pingyu not to recognise the Shadow Guards. His weak legs staggered as the two guards beside him supported him.

Lin Feilu said with a smile, “Uncle 9th King, this may offend you, but I will take my friend away and leave the matter as is.”

King Pingyu tried his best to squeeze a smile at her, “I bid the Princess a safe and pleasant journey, do come over as you wish when you have ample time.”

Lin Feilu walked out, and when she passed Queyin, she saw her still standing blankly as she pulled her, “Let’s go.”

Queyin suddenly returned to her senses, her facial expressions seemingly interesting to read. Her lips moved and twitched as she said in a low voice, “Huang… Your Royal Highness the Fifth Princess… Queyin, Queyin didn’t know, and I have offended the Princess so many times…”

Lin Feilu said, “There’s nothing much to say, but there’s just one thing that I want to remind you of.”

Queyin stood up straight and looked at her nervously.

Lin Feilu said, “You can leave that fiancé of yours.”

Queyin nodded again and again, “Your words are nothing but the shining truth, Princess!”

Queyin had waited for Guan Xingran all night, and with his skills and connections in Yinzhou, it was impossible for him not to locate her (after her kidnapping). In the end, the one who actually came to save her after all that waiting was none other than Lady Huang. She was not a fool— if Lady Huang could find out that she was here, how could Guan Xingran possibly be clueless?

He didn’t come because he didn’t want to offend King Pingyu, so instead he abandoned her to fate.

Queyin had been tortured that night and even almost lost her life. After such an encounter, she was completely enlightened.

Lin Feilu ignored her and trotted a few steps towards the woman in red. As she got closer, she could see the appearance of this chivalrous woman. She looked to be 16 years old at most. Although she was wearing a red dress, her eyebrows were cold and delicate. However, her eyes were extremely beautiful as they were clear, like the winter snow.

Lin Feilu smiled and said, “See? I’m really not a bad person.”

The woman in red remained silent, but slowly retracted her sword. She seemed to know that she couldn’t kill King Pingyu today. Hence, she was not reckless and followed Lin Feilu outside.

King Pingyu shouted from behind, “Fifth Princess! That assassin…”

Lin Feilu took the woman in red by the arm and looked back with a smile, “Where is the assassin? Why didn’t I see anything?”

King Pingyu was speechless and could only watch the red-clothed woman who slaughtered a horde of his guards walk away safely.
