Chapter 365: Where Is She?
Translator: 549690339
After giving her instructions, Ms. Ma was still worried, so she had her trusted Eunuch Deshan guard the door, not allowing anyone to approach.
She then hurried to the Crown Prince.
Li Jixian had just woken up.
He had been violently attacked last night, but it wasn’t fatal, just extremely painful.
The injuries inflicted by Jiang Ning had already been treated properly.
Upon waking up, he didn’t feel any discomfort, but was surprised to find himself back in his sleeping quarters.
Thinking of Jiang Ning, he immediately jumped up.
Could that sly fox have run away?
“Someone!”
He shouted.
Ms. Ma hurried in and, seeing him standing up perfectly fine, couldn’t help but feel relieved: “My Lord, you’re up. Allow me to help you dress and comb your hair.”
Li Jixian saw her and vaguely recalled that last night, when he was in so much pain that he was almost losing consciousness, Ms. Ma appeared with others.
He grabbed Ms. Ma’s neck and coldly said, “Where is she?”
“…My Lord, what are you doing? I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Playing dumb with me?” Li Jixian tightened his grip, killing intent flashing in his eyes, “Did you really think I wouldn’t dare kill you?”
Ms. Ma gradually had difficulty breathing.
She even felt like she was losing control of her bladder.
It was said that those who died by hanging would stick out their tongues and even lose control of their bowels…
The fear of imminent death made her tremble all over, and she struggled to say, “I, I know…”
Li Jixian released his hand.
Ms. Ma collapsed on the ground, holding her neck, gasping for breath.
“Speak,” Li Jixian coldly said, “I’m only giving you one chance.”
Ms. Ma had no doubt that if she didn’t confess honestly, he would kill her on the spot.
She underestimated Li Jixian’s ruthlessness and overestimated his possessiveness for Jiang Ning.
She also overestimated her own importance in Li Jixian’s heart.
She leaned against the wall, feeling somewhat desperate, and stretched out her hand, “She’s in my courtyard.”
Li Jixian didn’t look at her again and strode out.
He came to Ms. Ma’s courtyard, where a Nanny came forward and knelt down to greet him, “My Lord, why have you come? The Princess Consort isn’t here…”
This old thing was clearly deliberately blocking the way.
Li Jixian didn’t care about Ms. Ma, let alone such an arrogant old thing. He kicked her, “Get lost!”
The Nanny rolled around in the snow.
Li Jixian walked briskly inside and immediately noticed a small door in front of the side hall, where Deshan was squatting, covering his sleeves and shrinking his neck.
Behind him, the small door was locked.
Seeing Li Jixian, Deshan unconsciously glanced behind him.
He didn’t see the silhouette of the Princess Consort.
His heart thumped, and he quickly knelt down, “Servant greets the Crown Prince.”
“Unlock the door.”
“There’s… nothing inside,” Deshan said, still loyal to Ms. Ma.
“Oh?” Li Jixian said slowly, “Go get a knife for me. I’m a bit thirsty and would like to peel an apple to eat.”
“Something so trivial, there is no need for you to do it yourself, My Lord. Let your servant prepare it and bring it to you.”
“Go fetch it.”
“…Yes.”
Deshan had no choice but to go back and find a small knife and an apple.
Li Jixian carefully peeled the apple, took a bite, and then handed the knife to
Deshan, “Take it.”
Deshan hurriedly stepped forward to take it.
The silver light flickered slightly.
Li Jixian’s small knife flew up and stabbed straight into Deshan’s chest.
Deshan looked down at himself in disbelief, then at Li Jixian, with a somewhat dazed expression.
“Remember, in the East Palace, yours truly, the Crown Prince, is the only one whose word is law,” Li Jixian ignored him, walked forward, and kicked the door open with one foot..
