"I'm asking you, did the Prince go looking for Chu Qianli? Tell me!" Feng Ling was on the verge of losing her sanity.
The thought of Feng Yexuan actually taking Chu Qianli that night in the palace made her heart bleed.
She felt betrayed.
How could Feng Yexuan betray her!
"Miss, the Prince's whereabouts have not been disclosed to me, so I don't..." m..oΓg
With a snap.
No one expected it.
Yu Xing certainly didn't.
Feng Ling slapped her!
She had actually slapped her so casually!
Not only was Yu Xing stunned by the slap, but the two maids were also trembling with fear!
"You, get out!" Feng Ling waved her hand.
The two maids immediately scrambled out of the room.
Heavens! Yu Xing, the guard, was one of the Prince's Four Killers, her status was on par with Lord Leng!
Miss Feng actually hit her, and on the face at that!
This was too insulting!
Yu Xing's hand gradually tightened, her knuckles even making cracking sounds.
Her eyes were filled with murderous intent!
What mistake had she made?
"What? You dare to lay a hand on me? I belong to the Prince. If you touch me, you are disrespecting the Prince!"
Feng Ling, full of anger with nowhere to vent, found Yu Xing's appearance a welcome distraction.
She really wanted to go to Chu Qianli's side and bring Feng Yexuan back, but she couldn't.
Her gentle and soft demeanor could not be ruined by some Chu Qianli!
Yu Xing's clenched fist slowly relaxed.
She looked at Feng Ling and said expressionlessly, "I'll say it again, I don't know the Prince's whereabouts!"
After saying that, she turned to leave.
Behind her, Feng Ling's cold laugh echoed, "Is that so? Then if I tell the Prince that you are a woman, will you still say the same thing?"
Yu Xing trembled all over!
How... how did she know?
"What kind of person am I? What secrets in this world are unknown to me?"
Feng Ling snorted coldly, "If I want to know if Yexuan is with Chu Qianli, you will go and investigate properly now."
"Don't be duplicitous. I have little patience. If you dare to hide anything from me, your secret will be revealed to the world!"
"At that time, do you think Yexuan will still let you stay by his side as one of the Four Killers?"
Yu Xing's palm tightened once more.
The Prince hated deception! If the Prince found out that she had deceived him for more than ten years, she would absolutely have no chance to continue staying by the Prince's side and serving him.
Yu Xing had been working in the Prince's manor since she was young, becoming one of the Four Killers at sixteen.
She had no home; the Prince's manor was her home.
If one day, the Prince drove her away, she... she didn't know how she would go on.
"Well?" Feng Ling looked at her stiffening back askance, her face full of disdain. "Aren't you going to find out about Chu Qianli's news for me?"
Yu Xing closed her eyes tightly and took a deep breath.
Finally, she turned back, cupped her hands in a salute, and said, "Yes!"
Turning around, she took out the mask from her sleeve and was about to put it on her face.
Feng Ling was enraged at the sight. "How dare you!"
She rushed forward, raising her hand to strike again.
But this time, Yu Xing waved her hand, grabbed her wrist, and said angrily, "Miss! Please, enough is enough!"
"Then let the Prince know your secret and expel you from the manor!"
As soon as the words fell, Yu Xing's face froze, and she let go.
Feng Ling's slap fell mercilessly.
With a snap.
Yu Xing's expression remained unchanged, only a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of her lips.
