After giving her contraceptives, she went mad, criticizing the prince for turning white-haired overn

"Miss..." Bai Zhi's voice trembled.

She reached out and gently tugged at Shen Ning's sleeve. "This person looks terrifying."

But Shen Ning wasn't afraid at all.

Ye Huai is her cousin and the only eldest grandson of the Ye family.

He had saved her life in a past life.

If Ye Huai falls into Xie Linyuan's hands tonight, I'm afraid his chances of survival are slim.

"Bai Zhi, let's go." Shen Ning pulled Bai Zhi and turned to leave.

Just as I reached the corner on the second floor, I couldn't help but glance back at the dark mass of guards.

Xie Linyuan, as the regent of the Great Yan, held a high position and great power. He was ruthless and never acted according to common sense.

Even the eldest grandson of the Ye family was not someone he took seriously.

She was merely the second legitimate daughter of the Shen family, and her voice carried little weight in the household, a far cry from his status and position.

If you want to see him, it will be as difficult as climbing to heaven.

But she had been his wife for two years in her previous life, so she naturally knew where he was at Wangjing Tower.

"Miss, what should we do now?" Bai Zhi's voice was trembling with tears.

Shen Ning turned her gaze to the top-floor VIP room on the south side of Wangjing Tower, her heart clenching tightly.

"Bai Zhi, go to the lobby on the first floor and wait for me."

"And what about you, Miss?" Bai Zhi asked anxiously.

Shen Ning took a deep breath, her tone firm.

"Of course I can't just stand by and watch my cousin get into trouble."

"Go downstairs first. If you anger these guards, your life may be in danger."

Bai Zhi nodded quickly, "This servant will listen to you. Miss, you must come back safely. This servant will be waiting for you."

"kindness."

But Bai Zhi was still worried.

Those black-clad guards all looked fierce and menacing.

Xie Linyuan is a notorious ruthless man, so it's likely that her young lady's journey will be fraught with peril.

"How about... this servant goes to invite the eldest young master? The eldest young master has always been on good terms with His Highness the Regent."

"No need," Shen Ning gently nudged Bai Zhi. "You go first."

After she finished speaking, she lifted her skirt and walked upstairs step by step with a determined look in her eyes.

She thought she would never have to see Xie Linyuan again in her life, but now that things have come to this, she has no choice but to bite the bullet and try to save her cousin.

Since we have no other choice, let's go all out today.

Shen Ning walked upstairs nervously, her whole body stiff, and even her breathing became tense.

She knew Xie Linyuan better than anyone else what kind of person he was.

If he no longer loves her, he has plenty of ways to destroy her.

Moreover, in his previous life, when he died beneath the city walls, the look in his eyes was filled with hatred.

This hatred has carried over into this life, and her departure now seems fraught with peril.

When Shen Ning reached the top floor of Wangjing Tower, a guard in black blocked her way.

"This is forbidden territory. Does this young lady wish to die?"

The guard had sharp eyes, his right hand resting on the short blade at his waist, as if he could take her life at any moment.

Shen Ning took a deep breath. "Please ask this gentleman to announce that I wish to see Regent Xie Linyuan."

The guard frowned and looked her over with cold eyes.

The owner of this top-tier private room is a secret, and very few people know about her. How did she find out?

Shen Ning continued, "If I'm not mistaken, this is a place His Highness the Regent often visits. Please announce my name as Shen Ning."

Upon hearing that they were from the Shen family...

The man in black loosened his grip on the short blade slightly, turned around, and nodded to another guard.

The guard immediately turned around and walked towards the north-facing VIP room.

About fifteen minutes later, the guard returned.

"not see."

Those two short words made Shen Ning truly realize how far apart she was from Xie Linyuan in this life.

"If His Highness refuses to see me, I will wait here until nightfall, until he is willing to see me."

"Then the girl can wait here." After saying this, the guard in black turned and walked north.

Shen Ning remained standing in place, her gaze fixed on the closed door in the distance.

In her past life, Xie Linyuan had brought her here.

She and he had been intimate inside.

I also once enjoyed the grandest fireworks display in the capital city here.

In the dim light of a full moon night, Xie Linyuan held her in his arms and kissed her.

Although at that time she was only pretending to be affectionate in order to gain his trust.

As darkness fell, the entire Wangjing Tower was brightly lit, but that one door remained tightly shut.

The night was slightly chilly, making Shen Ning's body stiff with cold.

She slowly squatted down, rubbing her hands, which were red from the cold.

But she had to wait.

She wanted to save her cousin.

As midnight approached and the lights gradually went out, Shen Ning felt a chill run down her spine when a guard in black approached.

"His Highness said that Miss Shen should go back."

Shen Ning said, word by word, "I want to see him."

"Our prince does not wish to see you."

"Then I'll keep waiting until he's willing to see me." The girl's gaze was firm, her delicate face flushed red from the cold.

Another half hour passed, and another guard in black arrived.

"Miss Shen, please."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ning didn't know whether to be happy or scared.

She weakly stood up from the ground, clenched her teeth, and walked step by step toward the closed door.

When the guard pushed open the door, Shen Ning almost fainted. She endured the discomfort and walked in step by step.

The room was pitch black, with only a few scattered lights shining through the window, casting starlight into the room.

In the dim light, Xie Linyuan, dressed in black, sat upright in a chair, exuding a dangerous aura.

Shen Ning got a clear look at the man's face.

He was dressed in a black robe with a black cloak over it, and had a tall and slender figure.

Upon seeing her enter, Xie Linyuan glanced at her coldly and slowly wiped the blood from his hands with a handkerchief.

Shen Ning looked down and saw that his black boots were also stained with blood.

The starlight outside the window made his silhouette even more mysterious.

His dark eyes held an undisguised coldness.

The sharp aura emanating from him made Shen Ning almost unable to breathe.

Could it be that my cousin has already met with misfortune?

This blood... could it be my cousin Ye Huai's?

Shen Ning's heart clenched.

She knew Xie Linyuan was a madman.

In his past life, apart from being gentle to her, he was ruthless towards others, especially his political enemies.

She had witnessed firsthand how he killed people, and knew how ruthless and heartless he was.

Suffocated by his imposing aura, Shen Ning immediately knelt down.

"This humble woman greets Your Highness the Regent."

"My cousin Ye Huai was deceived for a time. Please, Your Highness, release him."

The man didn't speak, his gaze sweeping lightly over her.

Her cheeks were red from the cold, and her thick eyelashes were still damp with moisture.

In the dim light, her shapely figure could be vaguely seen.

Xie Linyuan scoffed and casually tossed aside the bloodstained handkerchief in his hand.

"How about I escort you to see him?"

"What did you do to my cousin?" Shen Ning's body stiffened slightly.

Then Xie Linyuan said.

"It's nothing serious, just ruined."

The man's voice was neither hurried nor slow.

"Crippled? Is my cousin still alive?"

"Please, Your Highness, release my cousin."

"Release him? What's the reason?" Xie Linyuan scoffed.

"Miss Shen is truly devoted to him."

"He's my cousin, and I have no romantic feelings for him," Shen Ning hurriedly explained.

The more she explained, the more intense the murderous intent in the man's eyes became.

If he hadn't been reborn, that would have been fine, but he was reborn and remembered everything that happened in his previous life.

Xie Linyuan scoffed, "Why don't you, Miss Shen, show some sincerity?"

"If you please me, I might spare his life."

Sincerity?

What does Xie Linyuan mean by this?

Could it be that's what it means?

"I...I..."

Shen Ning bit her lip, and when she looked up, she met his dark eyes.

She steeled herself and cautiously approached him.

Then, she shakily reached out and wrapped her arms around his waist.
