"I want you to kill the prince."

"Prince? You want me to assassinate the prince?" Lingyu opened her eyes wide in surprise, "Why?"

"Haha." The man laughed, "This is my personal grudge. You just need to do it. As for the reason, you don't have to know."

Lingyu looked at the man's unwillingness to reveal anything, and became even more curious.

She wanted to know why he asked her to assassinate the prince.

"You want to know?" The man raised his eyebrows and looked at Lingyu with a smile, "Don't you dislike me? Why do you want to know?"

Lingyu was startled.

She doesn't like this man, why does she need to know?

The person she didn't like was the prince, but not him. Why did this man target the prince?

"I don't like you, it's my business, you have no right to interfere with me!"

"In that case, why don't you dare to reject my invitation directly and come to attend the palace banquet instead?"

Lingyu bit her lip and didn't know how to explain it for a while.

Indeed, why didn't she refuse directly? Instead, she chose to attend the palace banquet?

She always felt that things would not be that simple.

"Since the princess doesn't know the answer, you don't need to know it. I don't want to waste my breath anymore. Just go and remember, no matter what, don't try to disobey my order, otherwise...I will definitely kill you."

Got you!"

"...Okay!" Lingyu nodded, then turned and left.

She walked out of the attic and was about to leave when she suddenly thought of something. She stopped, turned around and asked, "What should I do about His Royal Highness?"

"As long as you do as I say, the princess doesn't have to worry about other things." The man said indifferently.

Hearing this, Lingyu felt disappointed.

She thought she could get some news, but she got nothing.

Forget it, you can't rush this kind of thing, there will be more opportunities in the future.

"Then I'll leave first."

The man nodded lightly and signaled Lingyu to leave.

After Lingyu walked out of the attic, he picked up the tea cup on the table and drank the tea in the cup slowly.

"Your Highness, she really doesn't seem to remember." The man stood up and saluted the painting behind him. Then the wall that was supposed to be solid moved slowly, and a man with picturesque features walked out of it.

"She doesn't remember me? That's an interesting thing." The man murmured to himself in a low voice.

The man walked out of the room and looked at the darkening sky, with a smile on his lips.

He stretched out his hand and touched the necklace around his neck, his eyes becoming colder and colder.

Lingyu returned to the house and immediately told Murong Che about today's events. She also reminded Murong Che not to act rashly and that everything would be resolved by her.

After hearing this, Murong Che pondered for a moment, and finally nodded, agreeing with Lingyu's suggestion.

"I understand. You should go and rest first. I will go to the palace banquet tonight. Don't worry."

Lingyu saw this and nodded.

"Okay, then I'll go back first."

"kindness."

After Lingyu left, Murong Che took out the white porcelain bottle in his arms, opened the cork, poured out a pill and put it into his mouth.

For a moment, a flush appeared on his face.

"Uh-" He groaned in pain, and dense cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

He endured the severe pain and swallowed the pill.

After a long time, the pain subsided a lot, and he slowly closed his eyes, leaning on the bed and breathing heavily.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay." Murong Che shook his head, calmed down, and continued to close his eyes and rest.

As night falls, the moonlight shines in through the window and falls into the room.

The naked man was still lying quietly, nothing unusual.

Suddenly, the man on the bed suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were full of scarlet color, and his pupils were like those of a wild beast, flashing with a terrifying cold light.

"Ah!" A scream pierced the sky, deafening!

"Ah!" A scream pierced the sky, deafening!

On the roof, Lingyu was trembling all over, and his whole body collapsed on the ground.

She felt the aftertaste of fear, and her heart beat thumpingly, one after another.

She didn't understand why she suddenly appeared in the attic, but when she recalled the bloodthirsty and violence in the man's eyes, her body trembled uncontrollably, and her whole body was enveloped by a strong fear.

.

Who is that man?

Why do you have such a scary look?

Could it be the legendary vampire?

Impossible! Such a thing will never survive in the world!

"Huh, I was really scared to death!" Lingyu patted her chest and gasped for air.

She kept comforting herself that this experience should be just a dream.

But why were the man's expression and voice in the dream so clear?

She could even hear him speaking!

Lingyu rubbed his head and shook away the bad memories in his mind, then jumped down from the attic and quickly disappeared into the night.

She didn't understand why she was in the attic and why she saw such a scene.

Such a scene seemed like a nightmare, and she didn't want to think about it again.

...

"The Emperor has arrived, the Imperial Concubine has arrived -"

"Long live your majesty, long live your majesty, and may your concubine live a thousand lives."

"Get back on your feet, my dear friends, I am taking a few of my younger brothers out of the palace for an outing today. Are you all ready?"

Murong Qingtian sat on the dragon chair, glanced around, and asked majestically.

"I'm ready!"

The civil and military officials kneeling below responded in unison.

"Haha...that's good!"

"Father, my sons and ministers are also ready!"

Murong Che's voice sounded.

"Okay!" Murong Qingtian smiled, "Then get ready to go."

"yes."

"Father, my sons and ministers are also ready." Murong Che said and stood up.

Murong Qingtian nodded and signaled that Murong Che could set off.

A large group of ministers followed behind Murong Che and walked out.

"Your Highness, which concubines are you planning to take with you on our trip this time?" a civil and military minister asked.

"I want to bring Lingyu with me."

Murong Che thought of Lingyu, and his eyes couldn't help but reveal a soft light.

His mother died because of the Lingyu. Although the Lingyu saved his life, he still owed her a reward in terms of merit.

"It's against the rules to take her on a trip. After all, the princess has a distinguished status, so how can she travel with her ministers?" The man shook his head.

Murong Che frowned and glared at the man unhappily: "What does it have to do with you if I take Lingyu there? Do you even have to take care of my private affairs? I said that Lingyu will accompany me when I travel. Where does that come from?

So much nonsense?"

"..." The man opened his mouth and couldn't say a word. He could only smile awkwardly.

This Ninth Prince is really...

"Brother Nine Emperors, don't be angry. Father must have his own reasons for doing this. Don't blame them." Beside, a young man smiled and spoke with a gentle voice, like a humble gentleman.

This young man is Murong Che's younger brother Murong Cheyun.

He has a handsome appearance, exquisite facial features, and a rich and luxurious outfit that makes him even more dazzling.

His eyes are blue, as bright as gems.

"Huh!" Murong Che snorted coldly.

Murong Cheyun was slightly startled, he did not expect that his brother would be so disrespectful to him.

However, he didn't care.

He knew that Murong Che's personality was like this, and he also treated other people like this.

"Brother Imperial, my father has brought many beauties with him on this trip. If you meet the woman you like, remember to bring her back. Otherwise, don't blame me for bullying you."

Murong Cheyun raised his eyebrows with a half-smile.

Murong Che looked embarrassed when he heard this.

Murong Cheyun and he had the same father and mother. Although they did not have the same mother, they were not much different.

Murong Che is a direct descendant, while Murong Che is a concubine.

Murong Che was Murong Qingtian's most beloved child, and it was precisely because of this that his status in the palace was so arrogant.

Murong Cheyun was not annoyed and said calmly: "Ninth brother, I won't fight with you for anything."

"Hmph! If you really dare to covet the spiritual jade, this prince will definitely snatch her away!"

Murong Cheyun smiled and did not answer.

Although the relationship between the two people is said to be on equal footing, it is actually quite different.

Because he had been jealous of Murong Che's intelligence since he was a child, so Murong Cheyun had always disliked him.

He always felt that Murong Che's intelligence was given to Murong Che by God!

"Father, since we are ready, let's set off." After Murong Che finished speaking, he led a group of people towards the palace gate.

His back looks a little lonely.

...

Lingyu returned to her apartment, washed herself, changed her clothes, and then sat in front of the dressing table and combed her hair.

She raised her hand and touched her cheek. Her face looked a little pale. She didn't know if it was because of the scene in her dream just now.

"Hey, you have the nerve to say it? Didn't you say that it would be enough to leave this matter to you? As a result, you actually pissed off His Highness Ninth Prince."

"I didn't expect things to turn out like this." Lingyu sighed and said.

"Oh, you are too reckless. If it weren't for His Highness' mercy, you would have died a long time ago." Xiao Hei lay on Lingyu's shoulder, his tone full of gloating.

"Xiao Hei, be careful what you say." Lingyu glared at it dissatisfied.

"I'm telling the truth."

"Okay, okay, I understand my mistake and I won't do it again next time!"

"You said this yourself!" Xiao Hei narrowed his eyes with a sly look on his face.

"Yes!" Lingyu nodded heavily, indicating that he would never break his promise.

"Okay, okay, hurry up and pack your things. We will meet up with His Highness to play in a while."

"Um!"

"By the way, that day I saw the fourth princess's carriage parked in front of the gate of our princess's mansion."

Lingyu was shocked when he heard this and quickly opened the door and ran out.

"Xiao Hei, what you just said is true?"

Lingyu clenched her fists tightly, looking anxious.

"Yes, the guards at the Princess's Mansion told me that day that the Ninth Princess was wandering outside the Princess's Mansion and wanted to come in and see you."

"Fourth princess?" Lingyu was a little confused, but she quickly suppressed it.
