Commandery Princess...
Henuan was thinking of Yun Jinnian, both anxious and worried.
One of them raised a hand to pinch Henuan’s neck, slowly tightening their grip to kill her. One of them said plainly, "The master instructed to spare her life!"
After all, she was the most intimate and loyal maid by Princess Yijia’s side, and had seen the master several times, there was some regard between them.
Henuan, however, let out a cold laugh, "Spare my life..."
If it were one-on-one, who among these before her could be her match?
Defeat was defeat, but the Commandery Princess...
These people were here for the Commandery Princess.
"Knock her out!"
The leading man ordered, and Henuan only felt a sharp pain in her neck, then lost consciousness.
"Henuan!"
Yun Jinnian suddenly cried out, bolting upright.
"Commandery Princess, what happened?" Hemei immediately stepped forward to ask softly.
"Where is Henuan?" Yun Jinnian asked quietly.
"Henuan went to the kitchen to arrange food for the Hidden Guards, she should be back shortly!"
Yun Jinnian slightly shook her head, "Go and check, I have a bad feeling something’s happened!"
"Alright!"
Hemei responded, seeing Yun Jinnian about to get out of bed, she picked up an outer garment for Yun Jinnian to wear, then stepped out of the room.
Upon seeing several black-clad figures coming from the rain, one was carrying Henuan on their shoulder.
"Who are you people?" She shouted angrily, drawing the soft sword from her waist.
Yun Jinnian heard the commotion, walked to the doorway, and looking at the figures in black amid the rain, frowned ever so slightly.
Henuan’s life or death was unknown, not a single Hidden Guard appeared.
It was clear something had gone wrong.
Yun Jinnian felt no fear, no terror.
From the moment she left the Yun Residence, she knew this moment would come. Those wretches of the Yun Family were truly ruthless and willing to pay any price.
"What do you intend to do?" Yun Jinnian asked heavily.
"We ask Princess Yijia to come with us. Otherwise, the lives of the ten or so Hidden Guards in the kitchen and those of these two maids, we can’t guarantee they’ll see tomorrow’s sun!"
"How dare you!" Hemei shouted angrily.
Positioning herself in front of Yun Jinnian.
Yun Jinnian remained calm, pulling Hemei behind her, she spoke indifferently, "Bring Henuan out, I’ll go with you!"
"Commandery Princess!" Hemei exclaimed in surprise.
Yun Jinnian turned her head, giving Hemei a faint glance, the black-clad men tossed Henuan onto the ground.
Yun Jinnian watched, her heart aching tremendously.
She managed to find a way out for her three half-sisters, Yun Zuomo, and even more so for these two who had been with her for three years, utterly loyal, who saw her as their world—Hemei and Henuan.
"Hemei, fetch me an umbrella!"
"Commandery Princess!" Hemei cried out in alarm.
The black-clad man held out a black oil-paper umbrella, "Commandery Princess, please!"
Very respectfully indeed.
Yun Jinnian took a deep breath, "Hemei, take good care of Henuan, and those Hidden Guards in the kitchen, make sure no harm comes to them!"
Even if Hemei fought with all her might, she wasn’t a match for these people, better to stay alive to find her.
"Commandery Princess!"
Hemei cried out in grief, tears streaming down her face, kneeling on the ground.
Yun Jinnian gave her just a light look, turned and headed out, at the manor entrance, several identical carriages were parked.
"Commandery Princess, please!"
Yun Jinnian hesitated for a moment, then stepped onto the carriage. As she did, the leading black-clad man unexpectedly snatched the sachet from her waist.
Yun Jinnian was taken aback for a moment.
The Moon-watching Sect had indeed produced a traitor.
Face turning cold, Yun Jinnian boarded the carriage.
Inside, a woman immediately stood up, respectfully whispering, "Servant Chong Ling greets the Commandery Princess!"
Yun Jinnian glanced at her indifferently and took a seat.
The carriage was large and very clean, and on one side were several sets of clothes.
As soon as Yun Jinnian settled in, the carriage began to speed away.
