The candlelight swayed, and the shadows on the wall seemed like a group of demons dancing wildly. Ye Ling'er was chained to a bronze pillar. The bronze pillar was covered with mottled black stains. It was unknown whether they were left by the years or the blood traces of fear and anger. .
There was a strange and rotten sweet fragrance in the dull air. Ye Ling'er held her breath and looked at the demon-like people in front of her with fear.
Master An Bodhi has a cruel smile on his face and holds a sharp bone-picking knife in his hand.
Princess Anguo was sitting on a wooden chair, holding the armrests with both hands, trying to maintain calmness and demeanor, but her palms were already wet.
Another five-year-old child, his eyes widened like a devil, was waving the sharp steel needle in his hand.
"Yu'er, be quiet for a moment." Princess Anguo held him back. Although she was scolding, her voice was as gentle as possible.
This child is Ye Ruyu. As the apple of Princess Anguo's eye, she has been spoiled to an extreme. Ye Ling'er also heard that sometimes maids were pushed into the pond and drowned by him. He likes to watch others suffocate and struggle in the water. It looks like he is not allowed to be rescued by others.
"Mom, just let me poke two needles and see if she screams!"
Ye Ruyu was still dishonest and glared at Ye Ling'er fiercely, waving the steel needle in a threatening manner.
¡ª¡ªIt seems that he has just become obsessed with this game. Many maids were stabbed by him until they were covered in blood and bruises, but they did not dare to complain at all and swallowed their anger.
Ye Ling'er remembered hearing the news not long ago, and besides being disgusted as usual. There was nothing she could do about it - those days were the critical moments of her brother's imperial competition, so how could she care about the domineering young prince in the prince's mansion.
But I didn¡¯t expect that we would meet under such circumstances today.
"Yu'er, stop making trouble" Princess Anguo also had a headache for her naughty son. She shook her head, turned to Master Anbodhi and asked, "Master, are you ready?"
"about there!"
Master Anbodhi lit a green bonfire, made a weird laugh, and muttered obscure incantations. Let fear permeate the dark room.
¡ù¡ù¡ù
Ye Chongtian's healing in the world of swords only lasted about half a day. Because he missed his sister, he did not want to wait too long. He would stop when the four flowers of martial arts initially recovered.
¡ª¡ªIf you want to fully recover, it will take at least several days of work, and it will not be too late to wait until you leave the Marquis Mansion.
He exited the world of swords, and the sky outside the window was already approaching dusk.
Ye Ling'er hasn't returned yet.
Ye Chongtian frowned. He stepped out of the hut and strolled towards the courtyard where his sister lived.
In order not to disturb his healing. Everyone was resting there for the time being - Ye Chongtian won the first place in the competition, so of course he couldn't leave just like that. They were still waiting for the celebration in the evening.
"Master, you are here!"
Uncle Qin was walking anxiously in the courtyard alone. When he saw Ye Chongtian coming, he quickly greeted him with a worried look on his face.
"Ling'er hasn't come back yet?"
No need for him to say anything, Ye Chongtian knew why Uncle Qin was worried.
"Well I have been called by Princess Anguo in the afternoon, but there is still no news. I have gone to see it twice, but I was stopped and not allowed to enter the inner house"
Ye Chongtian frowned and clenched his fists.
Princess Anguo does meet with Ye Ling'er sometimes, but it never takes such a long time. Her dislike of the brothers and sisters is obvious, so why would she want them to hang around in front of her?
This time he won the first prize in the imperial competition. Normally, Princess Anguo would not be able to play any more tricks. Even if they are dissatisfied, just let them leave.
But for some reason, a chill suddenly arose in Ye Chongtian's heart.
"I'll go take a look. Don't tell Xiaobo and the others first, wait until I come back."
Ye Chongtian glanced at his friends who were laughing in the room from a distance. They were still excited about Ye Chongtian's victory. Mu Bo was seen spitting and dancing. He didn't know what he was talking about and didn't notice that he was coming. .
¡ªAnd don¡¯t let unsubstantiated concerns dampen their spirits. Ye Chongtian shook his head, feeling a little lucky in his heart.
It shouldshould be fine!
He gritted his teeth and turned towards the main courtyard where Princess Anguo lived.
He has a sword and a sword on his waist. He is dressed in white clothes and his face is a bit haggard.
A year ago, YeTiantian's stature has grown taller, but his face has not changed much.
But the servant¡¯s attitude is completely different!
They looked in awe at the young marquis who had lost his position. They bowed and saluted from a distance, not daring to raise their heads. Especially the maids and servants who had humiliated him in person were trembling with fear and out of their minds!
"The little Marquis is here! The little Marquis is here!"
"We were so disrespectful to him that day, but we didn't expect that he would become the number one winner in the imperial competition. That's great!"
"The young Marquis is a star in the sky and has descended to earth. I am afraid that he will inherit the title of the old Marquis of Dingbian in the future"
"We were really blind back then!"
Although the words were whispered, Ye Chongtian's martial arts had greatly improved now, so he could naturally hear them clearly.
If it were normal times, he would naturally be proud, but today he was worried about his sister's safety, so he couldn't care less about these ants, so he just snorted and dismissed it.
"Little Marquis, where are you going?"
Walking to the entrance of the main courtyard, Eunuch Li suddenly came out with a slanted stab, fearfully stood in front of Ye Chongtian, and spoke with a smile on his face.
Ye Chongtian frowned, "Ling'er has been here to see the princess for a long time. I'm afraid that it will delay the princess' rest, so I came here to take her back."
"No need to worry!"
Eunuch Li laughed and shook his hands, "The princess likes Miss Ling'er, let her chat with her for a few more words. The young prince has just won the first prize in the imperial competition. The battle with the famous sword sect must have consumed a lot of energy. It¡¯s better to go back and rest first. After the princess finishes talking to Miss Ling¡¯er, the old slave will naturally send her back"
Like Linger? Chat more? Ye Chongtian sneered in his heart, not believing it at all. At this time, the warning signs in his mind were becoming more and more obvious, and his face could not help but darken.
"In that case, I want to meet the princess and also see my sister"
"Presumptuous!"
Eunuch Li¡¯s face also darkened, ¡°Did you meet the princess just as you said? Do you suspect that the princess is going to be harmful to Miss Ling¡¯er? How brave you are!¡±
He pointed at Ye Chongtian and yelled, but his voice had no confidence, and he looked fierce and angry.
Eunuch Li has suffered a lot from Ye Chongtian. Now that he is so accomplished in martial arts that he has even killed famous sword masters, he cannot afford to offend him. Just because of the princess's orders, he had no choice but to block the door.
"I just doubt it, how about it?"
Ye Chongtian's face was cold and he held the hilt of the sword.
"If you don't let me see Ling'er right away, don't blame me for being rude!"
