Chapter 351
Holly's eyes were cold and determined, her hand tightly gripped the hilt of the sword, with the tip of the sword pointing directly at the throat of the man kneeling on the ground.
The man's face was pale and his eyes were full of fear and anxiety.
"Answer our princess' questions honestly, or you'll have your neck moved." Dong Qing's voice was cold and threatening, and every word sounded like ice squeezed out from between his teeth.
The man's body trembled, his lips quivering, "Is it true, is it true that if I say it, you will let me go?" His voice was trembling and weak, as if he was begging for something.
Shangguan Ziling sat leisurely on the chair, her eyes were cold and sharp. After hearing his words, she sneered, "Do you think you are qualified to negotiate with this princess?" Her voice was full of disdain and ridicule.
The man was stunned when he heard her words. He knew he had no way out, so he could only bite the bullet and answer Shangguan Ziling's question.
"Yes, it was our eldest lady who asked us to kill the Regent Princess." His voice was trembling and weak, as if he was telling a huge secret.
Shangguan Ziling couldn't help feeling a little surprised when she heard his words. Her eyes became colder and sharper. She already had some idea in her mind.
"The young lady is in the private room next door." the man continued.
Shangguan Ziling gave Dongqing a look, and Dongqing immediately walked out.
Dongqing came to the door of the private room next door and kicked it open.
In the private room, Ruan Feiyin was sitting by the window, holding a cup of tea, and seemed to be thinking about something. She heard the movement outside the door, turned around, and saw Dong Qing walking in.
Ruan Feiyin's expression suddenly changed, and she suddenly felt a little flustered and uneasy.
Dong Qing sneered, grabbed Ruan Feiyin's arm with one hand, and walked to the next room with her.
"Let me go, let me go!" Ruan Feiyin struggled desperately, but Dong Qing's hands held her tightly like an iron clamp, making her unable to break free.
Shangguan Ziling looked up and saw Dong Qing escorting a masked woman in. Wasn't this the person whose back she had just thought was familiar? Ha! It turns out they are really acquaintances!
Shangguan Ziling's eyes were cold and sharp, as if she could see through Ruan Feiyin's heart.
"Do you know why I'm looking for you?" Shangguan Ziling asked coldly.
Ruan Feiyin's face was pale and her lips trembled, "I don't know, I really don't know." Her voice was full of fear and anxiety.
Shangguan Ziling looked at her, recognized her voice, and sneered, "Ruan Feiyin! So it's you. But you are stupid enough. You dare to let your guards attack this princess in the teahouse in broad daylight?"
After hearing her words, Ruan Feiyin couldn't help feeling despair and fear in her heart. She shook her head desperately, "No, I'm not."
Dongqing pulled off Ruan Feiyin's veil with her hand.
"Ah" Ruan Feiyin screamed and covered her face with her hands.
Shangguan Ziling sneered and said in a cold voice: "Take them to the Ruan Mansion. I want to see how the Minister of War will give me an explanation."
Shangguan Ziling stood up and walked out after she finished speaking.
Ruan Feiyin yelled, "Shangguan Ziling, you bitch, it's all your fault. If it weren't for you, would I be so shameful now?"
Dong Qing slapped Ruan Feiyin in the face mercilessly. Ruan Feiyin screamed and his face quickly became red and swollen.
Shangguan Ziling paused, turned around and looked at Ruan Feiyin coldly, and said indifferently: "You asked for this? What does this have to do with me? Shut her mouth and take her away!"
"Yes." Dongqing took the rag beside him and covered Ruan Feiyin's mouth.
"Well……"
Shangguan Ziling and his group went downstairs. The shopkeeper was tapping on an abacus. Shangguan Ziling raised her eyebrows and said, "If you want compensation, just follow me to the Ruan Mansion. I believe the Minister of War will compensate you."
When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately stopped his protests. It has been a tradition since ancient times that the people should not fight against the officials.
Shangguan Ziling looked at the shopkeeper, chuckled, and slowly walked out of the teahouse.
Shangguan Ziling got on the carriage, while Ruan Feiyin and her guards were tied to the carriage with ropes, staggering and jogging all the way.
When they arrived at the Nguyen Mansion, the carriage stopped and said, "Princess, we have arrived at the Nguyen Mansion."
Shangguan Ziling got off the carriage, and immediately a secret guard took out a chair from somewhere and put it aside. Shangguan Ziling nodded, showing that he had good eyesight!
Shangguan Ziling sat on a chair with her legs crossed, looking coldly at the gate of Ruan's Mansion. At this time, many people gathered around Ruan's Mansion, all watching this scene.
