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

Shen Ning turned around and met a pair of deep, dark eyes.

The newcomer was dressed in a black brocade robe and stood tall and straight like a pine tree.

His face appeared exceptionally deep and sharp in the interplay of light and shadow under the corridor.

He did not look at himself, but focused his gaze on the Ming King in front of him.

Upon seeing Xie Linyuan, the Ming King trembled violently.

Why did this madman have to come at this time?

Wouldn't that ruin his plans?

He feigned composure and sneered, "It's just a few words with the Shen family's niece."

"Speak?" Xie Linyuan raised an eyebrow slightly.

He stepped forward half a step, shielding Shen Ningjiao's body behind him.

Their gaze fell on the Ming King's hand, which was suspended in mid-air.

His tone was so flat that you couldn't tell he was emotional.

"If you're talking, why are you getting physical?"

Ming Wang's expression changed: "Ninth Prince, you've misunderstood."

"I only wanted to help Miss Shen when I saw her almost fall."

"Is that so?" A murderous intent had already surfaced in Xie Linyuan's eyes.

"My brother really knows how to make excuses."

"Don't forget, the woman in front of you is not the illegitimate daughter of some vice minister, but the daughter of the Great General of the Great Yan State."

"What do you intend to do? Do you want to demoralize General Shen and undermine the foundation of the nation? Or...?"

Xie Linyuan approached step by step.

The King's face flushed red as he looked at the man's tall figure, his previous imposing aura completely crushed.

The man's murderous aura forced him to retreat.

"Or perhaps, you intend to disrupt the order of the court?"

King Ming's face turned deathly pale, and he abruptly stopped in his tracks.

"She's just a woman."

Xie Linyuan snorted coldly, turned around, and looked at the little girl behind him.

The little girl's face was pale, perhaps from fright, and her eyes were slightly red, making her look pitiful.

"What are you still standing here for?"

"Hurry up and go back to the Shen family."

"Yes, Your Highness." Shen Ning bit her lip, feeling a great weight lifted off her shoulders, and turned to run towards the palace gate.

She knew this was just the beginning.

Not only her, but also Wan'er, were both targeted by this old man.

Therefore, she had to find a way, besides Prince Ming,

After that slender figure walked away into the distance.

Xie Linyuan slowly placed his right hand on the short blade at his waist, his eyes suddenly sharpening.

"Ninth Brother, what do you want to do?"

King Ming trembled and dared not look directly at his expression.

Xie Linyuan approached step by step, then spoke softly:

"Next time, if I see it again..."

"Your other eye will also go blind."

He finished speaking coldly and slowly pulled out the dagger from his waist.

"This dagger of mine was brought from the black market. It needs to draw blood every now and then, but it hasn't drawn blood in a long time now."

"Next time, I might as well feed it with my brother's blood."

"You're a madman!" Mingwang exclaimed, his eyes wide.

After Xie Linyuan returned from the black market, he seized half of the military power of the Great Yan and obtained the late emperor's edict.

After becoming the regent to assist the country, he became a complete madman.

"Don't forget, I am your elder brother."

"What do you think you can do to me!"

Xie Linyuan said casually, "Then let's give it a try."

"I will definitely give my brother a quick death."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left.

Watching that departing figure, King Ming felt a surge of anger welling up in his heart.

He was determined to have all of Ye's daughters.

If I couldn't get Ye back then, am I sure I can't get her daughter now?

-

Outside the palace gates, Shen Ning did not board the Shen family's carriage.

Instead, they went to the south side of the palace gate.

A familiar carriage was parked there.

She gripped her skirt tightly and walked over step by step.

Seeing the girl approaching with red eyes, Mo Yu reached out and blocked her way.

"Miss Shen, this is the Regent's carriage."

Shen Ning pursed her lips and glanced into the carriage.

"I...I want to see the Prince."

The people inside did not seem to respond.

Mo Yu turned around and glanced into the carriage.

Seeing that his lord did not speak, he turned to look at Shen Ning.

"It seems that His Highness does not wish to see you."

"Miss Shen, please leave."

Shen Ning stared intently at the carriage curtain, somewhat disappointed.

As he turned to leave, a deep, authoritative voice came from inside the carriage.

"Come up."

The man's voice was devoid of emotion.

Shen Ning mustered her courage and slowly walked towards the carriage.

When the carriage curtain was gently lifted, a face with distinct features came into view.

The man had striking features, a high, straight nose, and slightly pursed thin lips. His deep eyes were quietly gazing at her.

The oppressive aura emanating from him made it difficult for anyone to approach him.

Shen Ning held her breath and carefully lifted her skirt to get into the car.

I had barely settled in when I met his deep, dark eyes.

After the two were settled, Mo Yu didn't ask any more questions and immediately whipped his whip, heading towards the Regent's Palace.

The atmosphere inside the carriage was somewhat awkward.

Xie Linyuan's gaze fell on the girl.

The girl clutched her dress tightly, her face flushed from the cold, and a hint of unease lingered in her expression.

"What business do you have with me?" he asked.

Shen Ning looked up and met his eyes.

The Empress Dowager's birthday banquet is approaching, and she must find a way to protect herself and Wan'er.

If he wanted to protect himself and his sister and take the opportunity to get rid of Ming Wang, he had to find a way to get something from Xie Linyuan.

Perhaps by using that thing, she could gain connections within the palace and carry out her plan.

Moreover, in the entire Great Yan, only Xie Linyuan could suppress that old and ugly thing.

"I..." Shen Ning was extremely nervous.

"Hmm?" Xie Linyuan raised an eyebrow, his gaze falling on her uneasy face.

The girl didn't speak, but gently bit her thin lips and slowly approached him.

A faint scent of peach blossoms wafted over, and Xie Linyuan calmly observed her expression.

He saw her carefully reach out and wrap her arms around his slender waist.

"I have something I'd like to discuss with Your Highness."

The carriage fell silent instantly.

Xie Linyuan stiffened slightly and frowned.

His gaze fell on the girl's ingratiating profile, but his heart was filled with mixed feelings.

In her past life, when had she ever taken such initiative?

He was always the one trying to please her, going to great lengths to win her over in bed.

The current situation is likely due to the wise ruler.

She wanted to use him to deal with King Ming.

"I remember that Miss Shen Er was determined to marry the young master of the Su family."

"What kind of show are we putting on today?"

Shen Ning said in a low voice, "If it were before, I might have wanted to marry the young marquis."

"But now I understand, Your Highness... is the one who can pull me out of the abyss."

Xie Linyuan chuckled softly and reached out to pinch her delicate chin.

His eyes held a chilling, malevolent aura.

"Are you so sure that I am not another abyss?"

The man's rough fingers gently brushed against the girl's moist lips.

Shen Ning trembled slightly, but did not dodge.

"If Your Highness is an abyss, then I will jump in."

After he finished speaking, the carriage fell silent.

Their breaths mingled silently.

Xie Linyuan's eyes grew even deeper, like thick, unyielding ink, and the fingers gripping her chin tightened slightly.

"Shen Ning, do you know what you're saying?"

"I know." Shen Ning looked up at him.

"Do you know that trying to negotiate with a tiger for its skin comes at a price?"

"I'm not afraid of any price." The girl's expression was firm, and her grip on his waist tightened even more.

The man didn't reply, but slowly caressed her lips with his fingertips, his eyes growing increasingly deep.

Between breaths, he reached out and pinched the girl's delicate chin, forcing her lips to part slightly.

The girl's alluring pink tongue caught my eye.

"You're getting bolder and bolder."

"You've climbed up to me today, so don't regret it."

After the man finished speaking, he leaned down and kissed her fiercely.

During the struggle, his voice was cold and hoarse.

"You better not be playing a trick on me."
