Chapter 113 Where did you go?
Bai Muling seldom came to his bedroom. Tonight, Ye Jingnian happened to be poisoned, and Bai Muling happened to come over again.

Sure enough, in front of the carriage during the day, Bai Muling and Zhi Xing said something, forcing Zhi Xing to drug him.

"Even if you can hide today, there is still tomorrow. The Queen Mother and the Duke are putting constant pressure on her. If she really wants a child, I am doing this for her own good." After he finished speaking, Ye Jingnian left.

In the morning, the rain had subsided, but there were still bursts of thunder in the distance.

The ice water in the bathtub melted, and the remaining ice crystals floated on the water surface.

Ye Jingnian's restless heart was somewhat numbed by the ice water. He stood up and let out a light breath.

Yan Chuan hurried over, frowning and looking anxious, and approached Ye Jingnian, saying softly, "Your Highness, I have arranged for someone I trust last night, and that person said...the Crown Princess is not a virgin."

“Oh?” Ye Jingnian raised his handsome eyebrows.

"The Crown Prince's Mansion is heavily guarded. Who would have such courage? I suspect that the Crown Princess had already done this when she was still in the Duke's Mansion..."

Ye Jingnian put on his coat and said, "This matter must be thoroughly investigated."

"Yes." Yan Chuan nodded and agreed. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something and said, "Your Highness, Zhi Xing ran away crying last night."

"You went out?" Ye Jingnian fastened his belt, raised his eyes and glared at him, "Have you come back?"

"Not yet... not yet. With the way Zhi Xing looked last night, I was afraid she would do something, so I didn't dare to stop her... But I have already sent someone to look for her."

Ye Jingnian raised his foot and kicked him: "Even if he ran away, why didn't you send someone to follow him? You useless thing!"

"It was... my negligence..."

Ye Jingnian walked quickly to the door. As soon as he opened it, he saw a thin figure huddled by the door.

Zhixing had been caught in the rain all night, her face and lips were pale and bloodless, raindrops hung on her face, her body, which had lost its temperature, kept shaking, and her eyes were dull and lifeless.

Ye Jingnian frowned and said, "You drugged me last night, but I haven't come to settle the score with you yet. Where have you been?"

Zhi Xing drooped her eyelids tiredly and said, "You can kill me or chop me up, it's all up to you."

Ye Jingnian felt something was wrong with her. Seeing that she was wearing a men's robe, he frowned and reached out to lift it, but saw that her thin dress was torn and had some spots that were difficult to hide.

His eyes suddenly tightened, and he tightly grasped the robe in his hand and gritted his teeth and asked, "Where did you go last night?"

Zhixing ignored it and just stared blankly at the rain falling from the eaves to the ground.

Ye Jingnian's heart tightened. He raised his hand and looked at the coat in his hand. The blue and white silk was embroidered with delicate patterns.

He narrowed his eyes slightly. He had never worn such clothes before...

Seeing Zhi Xing's dazed look, he immediately became furious. He tore off his coat and threw it at her, saying, "I didn't keep an eye on you all night, and you hooked up with another man?! I really underestimated you!"

Zhi Xing slowly came back to her senses, looked up at Ye Jingnian, and said, "Zhi Xing is just your Highness's maid, how can she be your Highness's woman? Even if she wants to have sex with someone, what does it have to do with your Highness?"

"You!" Ye Jingnian was furious. He never expected that Zhixing would refute him like this. He bit his lips hard, and the corners of his lips that had been bitten started bleeding again, with a fishy and sweet taste.

With confused thoughts, he threw the clothes in his hands to the ground, flicked his sleeves and left, shouting: "Come here! Check the time when Zhixing left the mansion last night. From the time she left the mansion to the time she returned, all men who traveled within a ten-mile radius will be killed without mercy!" Yan Chuan behind him was terrified, knelt down and kowtowed anxiously, saying: "Your Highness, please think twice! Now that King Ye's forces are eyeing us covetously, Your Highness is putting yourself on the edge of a cliff by killing people like this!"

Ye Jingnian turned back again, stretched out his hand to pick him up, grabbed his neck fiercely, and slammed him against the pillar, his eyes bloodshot and said: "I will kill you first!"

"Your Highness, why are you angry so early in the morning?" A charming voice came from the inner room. Bai Muling put on a warm cloak, with a little sleepiness in her eyes, and walked out of the door lazily.

Hearing Bai Muling's voice, Zhi Xing suddenly frowned. She stood up, took a deep breath, looked deeply at Ye Jingnian, and said, "Your Highness, you misunderstood. I didn't lose my virginity. It was the man who put on the coat for me who saved me. There's no need to make such a big fuss."

After she finished speaking, she lowered her head, covered Ye Jingnian's clothes, and turned to leave.

Bai Muling rolled her eyes and felt a slight pain on her forehead. She gently touched the wound, frowned and hissed again.

She couldn't remember clearly what happened last night. She only remembered that Ye Jingnian pushed her to the ground and her forehead hit the corner of the table. Then she felt dizzy and lost consciousness.

Ye Jingnian raised his hand and pinched her face, narrowing his eyes slightly, and said, "Bai Muling, who gave you the courage to instigate my maid?"

Bai Muling turned her eyes quickly and frowned, saying, "Your Highness, I don't know what you are talking about."

Ye Jingnian didn't say anything, but pinched her even harder.

Bai Muling gradually felt the pain, tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, and she cried, "Your Highness, please understand. This is the medicine that my mother gave me..."

Ye Jingnian snorted coldly and looked at her for a long time before letting go of her hand.

Bai Muling swallowed her saliva. The bed was in a mess, and the remaining marks on her body made her realize that what was supposed to happen last night had happened.

But... the bed was covered in white, which made her feel a little uneasy.

She bit her lip, tentatively raised her hand and touched Ye Jingnian's chest, saying, "Your Highness, calm down."

Ye Jingnian glanced at her and said, "You were tired last night, go back and get some more sleep."

Hearing this, Bai Muling curled her lips slightly and said, "Thank you for your consideration, Your Highness."

She tilted her head and said, "Lu Shuang, the medicine I made for His Highness last night has gone cold. His Highness has been busy lately. Go to the kitchen and make another bowl."

Hearing no response, she looked sideways, and saw that there was no one around her, and she couldn't help but frown.

Seeing her gradually panicking, Ye Jingnian smiled and said, "The maidservant beside you was too naughty. She made such a noise in the mansion last night. I have asked Yan Chuan to drag her down and bury her."

"What?" Bai Muling's heart suddenly jumped. She looked at Ye Jingnian in fear and said, "Your Highness, how could you..."

Ye Jingnian leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Next time you do something that makes me unhappy behind my back, I will make you pay a more painful price."

He reached out his hand, gently patted her gradually cooling cheeks twice, snorted softly, and turned and left.

Bai Muling's legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground. Her eyes became visibly flustered.

Her confidants were replaced without anyone noticing. Now, isn't she isolated and helpless in the mansion?
