Qiao Nan swung the whip and suddenly caught the guard's neck. With a force, he was thrown into the woods.

"what!"

Xia Linshuang and the maid shouted sharply, but there was no echo in the empty surroundings.

"You, why, why? I am the customer."

She turned around and tried to get into the car, shouting wildly.

Qiao Nan whipped the carriage, and the carriage split in two.

The horses neighed in fear and pulled the broken cart around in circles.

The little maid screamed "Ouch" and fainted from fright, and the horse's hoof happened to land on her fallen chest.

Xia Linshuang slumped on the ground, digging the dirt with her hands, her eyes wide open.

"Yes! You are right. But there is a difficult problem that needs to be explained to the customer. You need to give us a reply."

Qiao Nan used the end of the whip to pick at Xia Linshuang's chin.

"It's like this, you want to hire the young master of Qianmai Palace, right?"

Xia Linshuang looked at the young man who was standing leisurely with horror.

“I’m sorry, I’m ranked second in Qianmai Palace, not Young Master.”

The man smiled contemptuously, his eyes not wanting to linger on her.

Xia Linshuang was almost frightened to death, and her brain was no longer able to think.

"In order to show respect to our customers, our young master is here today. Do you want to meet him?"

Xia Linshuang nodded frantically subconsciously.

Young Master, where are you? Come and kill them for me.

She screamed in her heart.

Qiao Nan put his arm on Qian You's shoulders and nodded with his chin.

"Well, it's right here. The person you want to kill is the young master of Qianmai Palace. How do you think this mission is going to be accomplished?"

"What? What did you say?"

Xia Linshuang no longer cared about the whip on her chin and shouted out loud.

She was completely dumbfounded, and the last bit of calmness she had was gone. She didn't even have time to tremble, and she instantly became cold and stiff from the inside out.

She looked at the contented girl with fear, who stood quietly with her arms folded, looking at her as if she were a fool.

Aren't you just a fool?

Is she the young master of Qianmai Palace?

The person that royal families from all over the world are vying to avoid?

How stupid I am, going to someone else's territory to give money and buy their head.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, please forgive me, Master. I will never dare to do it again."

She nodded her head mechanically, her body responding instinctively.

Qian You took a step forward, looked down at the embarrassed Xia Linshuang, and asked.

"I have no grudge against you, but you have tried to kill me several times. Tell me why you insist on killing me. Give me a reasonable reason, and maybe I can spare you."

Qian You's cold and calm voice struck her eardrums.

What grudge do they have?

Xia Linshuang was also thinking quickly and seriously at this time.

She suspected that King Sheng liked her?

Does Prince Sheng like her?

Even if King Sheng liked her, a commoner, he could just marry her. What impact would that have on her?

wrong.

So why did she insist on killing her?

At this moment, her mind was asking herself questions quickly, but she couldn't find a reason that could convince herself.

She regretted it so much at this moment, blaming herself for losing control of her emotions and falling into a vicious circle of jealousy.

"Since you can't even convince yourself why you killed someone, and you took my life twice, then I will repay you in the same way today. It's not too much. Since you have already paid me to hire me, the young master of Qianmai Palace, to kill someone, and it's not Qianmai Palace's style for me to return empty-handed for the first time, so I will do it for you with reluctance."

"don't want…..."

Xia Linshuang opened her eyes wide with fear. No matter how she begged for mercy, it was not as fast as Qian You's dagger. It cut off her head neatly without any blood splattering on her body.

"Send her head to the Fifth Princess and see if the Princess is satisfied with this mission."

"Okay, I promise to complete the task."

A man in black appeared, put the head into a box that had been prepared long ago, and slipped away.

Qiao Mu took a look at the maidservant who was trampled to death by the frightened horse. She was the one who hired the murderer that day and was not worthy of sympathy. So he got into his car with Qian You and Qiao Nan and turned around and left.

The next day.

The sunlight spread over the fifth princess' bedroom, and she woke up slowly.

She went to bed very late yesterday, and had been waiting for news from Xibohou Mansion. She became really impatient and fell asleep in a daze, having nightmares all night long.

"Help this princess wash up."

She got up lazily, and the palace maid hurried in with a basin of water.

After washing, one maid made the bed in the bedroom, while another maid put on makeup and tied her hair for the princess.

"Hasn't anyone come to deliver the letter to Xibohou Mansion this morning?"

"Princess, no one is coming."

She pouted her lips and murmured in dissatisfaction, saying that her cousin was unreliable. For such a big matter, she only sent someone to say that there was news, and then there was no further news, leaving her waiting in fear.

She noticed an exquisite box on the dressing table.

"What is this? Did the prince send this to me, or did the queen mother send it to me?"

"Princess, I don't know either."

"Let me see."

She brought the box to her front, unlocked it without much effort, and lifted the lid.

"what!"

"what!"

"what!"

The three people in the bedroom screamed three times respectively, and then there was no sound.

The people guarding outside the hall rushed in, and bursts of screams echoed in the bedroom.

By the time the Queen heard the news and hurried over, the scary box had already been closed.

The courtyard was full of guards, and the palace maids and nannies were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and couldn't get up.

The imperial physician rushed over and immediately checked on the fifth princess who was still unconscious.

After a while of busy work, the fifth princess Cang Luo woke up slowly.

Her eyes were empty and she was looking at nowhere, her mouth was open but no sound came out, and saliva was flowing from the corners of her mouth.

"Doctor, come and take a look, what's wrong with her?"

The queen asked anxiously.

"To answer the Queen, the Fifth Princess must have been too frightened and her soul has temporarily dispersed."

"Then what should we do? Think of a solution quickly."

The queen fell down on the chair, and the nanny beside her knelt down and begged the imperial physician, who was so frightened that he had nowhere to hide.

When Prince Cangxun arrived, he saw the familiar yet unfamiliar head in the box. He was so frightened that it took him a while to recover.

When he asked the palace maids in the princess's palace about the details of the situation, no one could explain the whole story.

"What's going on? Go check it out!"

Xiao Qing, the commander of the guards around His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, left in a flash.

When Xibohou Mansion received a box of human heads sent from the palace, they were frightened again.

Xia Linshuang's biological mother, Hou, fainted immediately and was hurriedly carried to the hospital for treatment.

The new Xibo Hou Xia Feng had a very gloomy expression on his face.

Although he didn't like his niece's condescending attitude, she was the eldest daughter of the Xia family after all. Her death was too disgraceful to the Xibohou Mansion.

The people sent by the Crown Prince and Xibohou Mansion did not have to spend much effort to find out that five days ago, the Fifth Princess and Xia Linshuang sent their maids to Qianmai Palace to hire someone to kill someone. As for who to kill, they knew it very well, but what was shocking was that the two paid a price of 500,000 taels, but in the end one of them died and the other went mad.
