C3 Failure to flee

Inside the sleeping quarters of Clear Moon Restaurant, Ling Qingyi paced back and forth, seemingly very anxious.

So it turned out that Bi'er had treated her as an imposter that An Yue had come looking for her. However, not to mention that she didn't even know An Yue. Furthermore, she was pretending to be a princess.

No! Ling Qingyi heavily slapped her thigh. She had yet to take all the treasures in this world and had yet to become the Sect Leader of the Thief God Sect. She definitely could not fall like this.

He lowered his body and sneaked to the door to take a closer look. Other than the servants, there were also seven to eight guards standing guard outside. All of them had steady steps and looked like they were quite capable.

"Are all the palace guards' martial arts so powerful now?" Slightly depressed, Ling Qingyi began to regret her decision. Why did she have to be so lazy in the first place? She only wanted to practice her qinggong.

"Bam!"

Ah!

Miserable screams rang out. Ling Qingyi was lost in thought, she did not expect Bi'er to suddenly push open the door and enter, the heavy wooden door knocked against her forehead just like that.

"Ah, are you alright?" Bi'er quickly helped Ling Qingyi up. Seeing that the people outside the door were staring at her, she quickly changed her words, "Esteemed wangfei, are you alright?"

Ling Qingyi clutched her forehead and shouted, "It's nothing, it's nothing." He gestured for Bi'er to close the door.

"Why did you come in!" Clutching her forehead, Ling Qingyi was in so much pain that she grimaced. Since she was young, she was not afraid of anything. The only thing she was afraid of was pain.

"I'm worried. Has the princess been informed?" Bi'er looked at Ling Qingyi nervously. Just a moment ago, she was afraid that she had lost her head, but now, the more she thought about it, the more nervous she became.

"Relax, or do you have any other ideas?" Although she opened her mouth to persuade him, Ling Qingyi still felt a little guilty, "However, your princess has already run away, why are you still staying here?"

"The princess told me to hold them here." Bi'er lowered her head.

"Tsk tsk, your princess is so 'nice' to you." Looking at Bi'er, although Ling Qingyi sympathized with her, she was not a kind-hearted person.

"The princess said she would come back for me." Bi'er mumbled, her voice was obviously not confident.

"Don't blame me for not advising you. If you find the opportunity, you should leave as soon as possible." Ling Qingyi took a glance at the situation outside, "Do you know how many guards there are outside?"

"This... About seven or eight. " Bi'er thought for a moment. "But it's almost midnight. I heard that the servant of the Prince's Mansion said that she would change shifts in the latter half of the night. At that time, there should be more than ten people."

Because Ling Qingyi had been called over by An Yue, Bi Er's words were somewhat more casual.

"Change shifts?" Ling Qingyi's eyes lit up …

It was already past midnight and the mansion was quiet. While the guards were changing shifts, Ling Qingyi quickly jumped out of the window, climbed up the roof, and quickly crossed over the courtyard wall.

At the moment, the guards in the courtyard were completely oblivious to it, only continuing to concentrate on guarding the entrance.

"Luckily we managed to escape." Ling Qingyi let out a long sigh of relief. Just as she wanted to take advantage of the gap between patrols to leave the Third Marquis' Mansion, she hesitated.

If he ran away like this, then it would be difficult for him to enter again in the future.

Seeing the strict guards, two villains quickly appeared in Ling Qingyi's heart.

One made her flee for her life, while the other arrogantly questioned her. Was she going to give up such a good opportunity?

He thought about how he was empty-handed and had even thrown in a Night Pearl, only to end up throwing away a little person in front of him.

The night wind gradually stopped. Ling Qingyi's figure was as fast as a ghost as she quickly moved on top of the roof. Seeing the group of guards patrolling her from a distance, she quickly flew down from the roof and hid behind the wall.

"My lord, the crown prince's side seems to have gotten suspicious recently."

A sound came from the room behind her. Ling Qingyi was startled and quickly held her breath.

"So what if I'm suspicious? Even if I told him that this king has raised a private army, with his abilities, he wouldn't be able to find anything!"

Private! This is... Third Marquis' study?

Ling Qingyi was startled as her face quickly fell. What kind of luck was this! And the third prince had a private soldier? Now that she had heard of this news, if she was discovered, wouldn't it be as good as silencing her?!

In the study room, Sang Feng was somewhat puzzled, "Your Highness, what do you mean?"

"Let him check if the days in the palace are boring and the crown prince is this king's brother. How can this king not let him have some fun? However, what he can find out is not something he can decide."

"Yes, Your Highness, your subordinate understands." Qing Feng smiled. If the crown prince found out that it was just a bamboo basket filled with water, he would be even more infuriated than if he did not find out.

"Yes." "En." Chu Mu Han replied. His gaze continued to look at the window, "Are you still not prepared to come out?"

Although it was very light, he still felt that there was a person outside the window.

Inside the study room, Wind Following Sword was stunned.

Outside the study room, Ling Qingyi's heart trembled.

She had already hidden her breath, so how could she be detected?

Hearing the sound of patrols getting closer and closer, Ling Qingyi knew that if she ran now, she would definitely be discovered.

"This King's patience is limited. If you still want to leave behind your last words, come out right now." With a flip of his right hand, the tightly shut window was instantly shattered.

As the sawdust fell onto her head, Ling Qingyi was so scared that she abruptly stood up, "Your, Your Highness."

"It's you!" Chu Mou Han revealed a slightly astonished expression and his eyes instantly turned cold.

Qing Feng looked at Ling Qingyi in surprise. It seemed that this woman had some ulterior motives, to actually be here to eavesdrop tonight.

"Prince …" Ling Qingyi had a smile on her face as she tried to make her voice sound as sweet as possible, "Chenqie is here to find you."

"Looking for This King?" Chu Mu Han's lips parted, "Are you looking for me to say your last words?"

The smile on her face instantly froze. Ling Qingyi nervously swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Prince really knows how to joke around. Chenqie is only, just that …"

"But what?" The corner of Chu Mu Han's mouth raised slightly, and the smile in his eyes became even more apparent. However, he understood that this was the sign that his master's patience was about to run out.

"I just missed you too much, so I came to see you." Ling Qingyi was clearly aware of this point. She glanced at the broken pieces of the window from the corner of her eyes. Her intuition told her that if he were to run now, he would end up as miserable as this window.

Her beautiful, sword-like eyebrows raised as her right hand once again began to gather inner strength. "Princess, do you think this prince will believe you?"

"I …" Ling Qingyi bit her lips again and hardened her heart. She put on a fearless look and said, "Alright, speak the truth. Your Highness, actually, I have another reason for coming here."

Hearing this, Qing Feng was stunned. He looked at Ling Qingyi with a slightly surprised gaze. Was he about to confess?

"Speak." Chu Mu Han stared at Ling Qingyi, but he felt that Ling Qingyi did not seem like she was going to admit to everything.

"Your Royal Highness, to tell you the truth, I've come this time to … You want to take back the Luminous Pearl that I gave you before?! "
