A voice suddenly came from inside the carriage.
Zhan Qian'er shuddered violently upon hearing the voice.
Her face instantly turned ashen, and cold sweat broke out. How could her luck be so bad today?
Fear immediately consumed Zhan Qian'er.
Gu Xiaofeng, inside the carriage, tried to move but couldn't!
He had been acupoint-sealed!
Darkness seemed to descend upon him!
"Night King? Why is the Night King here?" Zhan Qian'er trembled uncontrollably, her face pale with fright.
Only then did she see clearly who was stepping on her: it was Qiu Lu, the guard by the Night King's side!
No matter how skilled she was, she was no match for Qiu Lu!
"Night King, it's all a misunderstanding. I thought it was someone else blocking my path, which is why I spoke recklessly! I promise it won't happen again!" Zhan Qian'er gritted her teeth and quickly admitted her mistake.
In the capital, besides not offending the Regent King, one must not offend the Night King.
She had truly had terrible luck!
"Attempting to assassinate this King, Zhan Qian'er, how dare you!" Zhan Tianye reprimanded again.
Zhan Qian'er's face lost all color, and she trembled, "It was absolutely not an assassination! I didn't know it was the Night King just now!" she quickly retorted.
"You just went to the Regent King's mansion?" Zhan Tianye's voice suddenly lowered slightly, laced with sharpness.
Zhan Qian'er was now terrified, trembling and unsure of what to say.
"Will you speak, or will this King question you?" Zhan Tianye said in a deep voice.
If it weren't for Zhan Ming protecting the King of Rao and his daughter, he would have dealt with them long ago.
"I... I, I don't know what the Night King is talking about." Zhan Qian'er's fleshy cheeks quivered. She hadn't expected that every move of their King of Rao's mansion was known to the Night King! He even knew about her visit to the Regent King today!
Zhan Tianye directly ordered, "Qiu Lu, kill her."
"Night King! I can be considered your sister! You want to kill me? And for no reason!" Zhan Qian'er's eyes widened in terror, her flesh trembling even more violently.
Qiu Lu detested Zhan Qian'er immensely, feeling as though his feet were soiled by stepping on her. He took something out of his怀 and threw it at her face, "These are all the Princess's crimes. The Princess should take a good look."
Even in the dark, Zhan Qian'er wet herself upon seeing these things, terrified!
Instantly, she reeked of urine.
"I... I..."
"Will the Regent King choose to protect the King of Rao's mansion, or himself," Qiu Lu asked with a half-smile.
Zhan Qian'er's vision darkened intermittently, "Did the Night King deliberately stop us here?"
"Are you worthy?" Qiu Lu retorted directly, then continued, "The Prince was going to see the Regent King, and the Princess happened to deliver herself."
Zhan Qian'er knew that without handing over the items, Zhan Tianye wouldn't let her go today.
She had no choice but to reluctantly take out the items.
"The Regent King gave me this item, wanting my father to enter the palace tomorrow and use it to frame General Yun, thus clearing Yun Dezhi," Zhan Qian'er said, then asked Qiu Lu, "Can you move your foot now?"
Qiu Lu took the item.
He handed it to Zhan Tianye inside the carriage.
Zhan Tianye looked at the item in his hand.
A dark glint flashed in his black eyes. Zhan Ming was actually able to obtain this!
Then, he casually set the item aside.
Zhan Qian'er, regaining her freedom, quickly hurried towards her carriage.
Just as she was about to board,
A crisp child's voice suddenly came from inside the carriage, calling out to Zhan Tianye for help, "Night King, save me! She's a bad person, she wants to harm me! Night King, save me!"
Gu Xiaofeng knew this was his only chance! Although he didn't know who the Night King was, the Night King didn't seem like a bad person. He was just having a bad woman dealt with!
When Zhan Tianye heard the crisp plea for help, his heart trembled slightly.
He lifted his eyelids and, almost instinctively, reached out to grasp the carriage curtain and look towards the opposite carriage.
"Your Highness, there is a child in that carriage," Qiu Lu reported, then frowned.
Recalling Zhan Qian'er's habits, goosebumps erupted all over him.
A drop of cold sweat slid down Zhan Qian'er's forehead.
How did that child wake up?
It seemed the sleeping smoke wasn't strong enough.
Fortunately, she had acupoint-sealed the child before dismounting.
"Your father and mother asked you to follow me, and you agreed. I even gave your family a thousand taels of silver. If you dare to make a fuss again, I'll send you back home now, and your parents will have to return the thousand taels of silver to me!" Zhan Qian'er reacted quickly.
Gu Xiaofeng's large eyes welled up with tears in his desperation, "You're lying! I don't have parents at all! You kidnapped me!"
Zhan Tianye, hearing the child's helpless rebuttal, felt a strange emotion stir within him.
Zhan Qian'er did not want any complications, nor did she want to lose the 'prize' she was about to obtain. She quickly jumped onto the carriage.
"Giddy up!"
She even ignored the coachman, driving the carriage herself, intending to leave.
Gu Xiaofeng felt as though all hope was lost.
He cried out, "Save me! Save me! I don't want to die! I still want to know why my mother didn't want me! Why my father didn't want me!"
Suddenly.
A stone flew from somewhere.
It struck the horse.
The startled horse neighed and stopped.
Zhan Qian'er's face paled in shock.
Zhan Tianye's gaze sharpened towards a spot not far away.
On a high rooftop, a woman's clothes fluttered in the wind.
Even dressed in night-walking attire and standing in the darkness, it couldn't conceal the woman's graceful figure.
San Tian had seen this figure before.
And he had crossed paths with her two or three times.
Each time, she had held her own.
His gaze suddenly fell upon the woman's slender waist.
"Who are you?!" Zhan Qian'er felt her sanity about to crumble and furiously questioned the woman on the rooftop.
The person standing on the rooftop at this moment was Yun Shu.
Half an hour after having a dream, she could no longer sleep.
Missing Zhan Xiaoli in her heart, she suddenly wanted to go see Zhan Xiaoli.
So she ventured towards the Night King's mansion under the cover of night.
Unexpectedly, as she was about to pass by the street in front, she heard noises and came to investigate with suspicion.
To her surprise, she witnessed the scene that had just unfolded.
She had initially just wanted to watch a show, but when she was about to leave, she heard a child crying for help.
The cry for help made her stop.
She had heard of Zhan Qian'er.
Countless children had died at Zhan Qian'er's hands. Upon returning to the capital, she had momentarily forgotten about this person.
If she hadn't transmigrated, she certainly wouldn't have meddled in such affairs. But now that she had transmigrated and become the mother of Yun Xiaojing and Zhan Xiaoli, encountering such a situation and a person like Zhan Qian'er ignited a murderous intent within her.
"Release the child in the carriage, and I will spare your life!" Yun Shu glanced at Zhan Tianye, who was staring at her, and threatened Zhan Qian'er.
