Chapter 60 Nowhere to Hide

Yan Li avoided the patrolling guards of the palace and returned to the garden loft quietly.

Ling Ning and Shen Huifu were still in the corridor on the second floor.

"The Eighth Princess and Princess Nanyang have been talking for so long?" Ling Ning looked at Princess Mu Ya standing beside her, frowning slightly, "Why haven't I heard anything?"

"What does Miss Ling want to hear?" Mu Yunzhu walked out from the corner of the attic with a mocking smile on her lips, "Miss Ling cares about Yan Li very much. Why, seeing that she has been named a princess, do you want to get close to her?"

Ling Ning turned her head and looked at Mu Yunzhu who was walking with the maids, with a calm expression: "I was invited to attend the flower viewing banquet of Prince Yu's Mansion, so I got to know Princess Nanyang. I want to talk to her face to face about some things. Does the Eighth Princess think there is anything wrong with this?"

As the granddaughter of the Protector of the Country, she does not need to get close to anyone. Over the years, she has maintained a proper distance from the royal princesses and has not taken the initiative to get close to any of them. How can she get close to them?

"Nothing wrong." Mu Yunzhu looked at her coldly, "But this princess doesn't like her."

Ling Ning's eyebrows were cold: "It's your own business who the Eighth Princess doesn't like, and it has nothing to do with me."

"You are so presumptuous!" Mu Yunzhu was furious, "Ling Ning, you rely on the power of the Duke of the Guardian's Mansion, and you don't even take this princess seriously?"

Ling Ning's bright face was fearless, and her tone was indifferent: "It was the Eighth Princess who relied on her status as a princess to bully others first."

Mu Yunzhu's cheeks twitched, staring at Ling Ning for a long time, and suddenly sneered: "Miss Ling is really courageous, this princess admires her very much."

Ling Ning looked at her expressionlessly, walked past her, and kicked the door in front of him.

Bang!

The door made a violent sound, which scared the other people.

Ling Ning was about to step into the door, but his movement suddenly stopped.

The attic was quiet, the sun shone into the room from the carved window, the tables, chairs and screens were shrouded in a halo of light, and the slender figure in front of the window was clean and holy, like a fairy.

Hearing the sound of the door being kicked, the girl standing in front of the window admiring the flowers turned her head, raised her eyebrows slightly, and looked at Ling Ning steadily: "Miss Ling is worthy of being from a family of military generals. This kick was heroic and full of momentum."

Ling Ning was stunned, then walked in slowly, looked up and down at Yan Li, and saw that she was intact, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Excuse me." Ling Ning nodded, "Sorry."

Yan Li smiled lightly: "It's okay, I made Miss Ling worry."

Mu Yunzhu and Mu Ya's expressions froze, as if they saw a ghost in broad daylight, staring at Yan Li standing in front of the window in disbelief, with shock in their eyes.

No, it's impossible.

How could Yan Li be here?

Wasn't she taken away by Mu Wenxuan?

"Yan Li, why are you here?" Mu Ya rushed in and stood in front of Yan Li, with anger on her face, "Shouldn't you--" ŴŴŴ.

"Shouldn't you be talking to the Eighth Princess in the attic? But the Eighth Princess has gone out, there's no reason for me to conjure up another Eighth Princess, right?"

"I..." Mu Ya gritted her teeth, feeling uneasy for no reason.

What's going on?

Shouldn't Yan Li be in the eldest brother's bed at this time?

She should have her innocence ruined, be disliked by the Ninth Prince, and then be divorced, and have to become the eldest brother's concubine, and from then on be trapped in a remote courtyard in the backyard of Prince Yu's Mansion, letting her torture and vent...

But what's going on now?

How could Yan Li stand here intact? Did the plan go wrong, or did she really have some extraordinary ability?

"Yan Li." Mu Yunzhu stared at Yan Li's eyes, with doubt and inquiry in her eyes, "You have been staying here and never left?"

Yan Li raised his eyebrows, and the smile on his lips became more mocking: "Where do you want me to go?"

"I..."

"Princess Mu Ya apologized to me humbly today, and I received your kindness." Yan Li spoke again quickly, his voice became more cold and ruthless, "If there is a suitable opportunity in the future, I will definitely entertain the princess well, just as a reward for what happened today."

Mu Ya's face changed.

"The crabapple flowers in this garden are blooming well, and the ones that should be appreciated have been appreciated. Today's trip is not in vain." Yan Li glanced out the window, then turned to look at Mu Ya, nodded slightly, and the corners of his mouth always had a sneer, "Farewell."

"Yan Li." Mu Ya clenched her hands, her face pale, "What do you mean? Speak clearly!"

Ling Ning's eyes were slightly dark, she was not a slow person.

Mu Yunzhu and Mu Ya's reactions were obviously abnormal. They did do something to Yan Li... They shouldn't be in the attic?

Then where should she be?

Mu Ya seemed a little uneasy.

"What do you want to clarify?" Yan Li smiled slightly and looked directly at Mu Ya's pale face. The cold and ruthless color in her eyes seemed to have a strong penetrating power, making her unable to hide. "If I really say some words, I'm afraid Princess Mu Ya can't bear the consequences."

After saying this, she walked away without hesitation.

Ling Ning turned around and left without saying a word. Shen Huifu smiled at Mu Ya: "I had a great time drinking tea and enjoying the flowers today. Thank you for the princess's hospitality. Goodbye."

Three people left the attic at once. Mu Ya's face looked a little ugly. Her hands hanging by her side were clenched tightly, and she couldn't help but feel cold in her heart.

For some reason, she seemed to suddenly realize that she had provoked someone she shouldn't have provoked.

The look in Yan Li's eyes just now frightened her, as if all the conspiracies and tricks were exposed in front of her, and she didn't even have the courage to look at her.

...Like the Ninth Prince.

Yes, just like the Ninth Prince Mu Cang, the kind of pressure, the kind of demeanor that can make people tremble without saying a word, is almost the same.

But how is this possible?

Yan Li is just an orphan girl living under someone else's roof, and she is only fourteen years old.

The Ninth Prince is a man, both civil and military, unparalleled in strategy, and has been fighting on the battlefield for many years. How can they compare?

"What's going on?" Mu Yunzhu said coldly, kicking the screen fiercely, "Yan Li looks fine? What is Mu Wenxuan doing?"

Mu Ya slowly turned her head and looked at her: "Don't you think Yan Li is weird?"

Mu Yunzhu calmed down and narrowed her eyes slowly: "What do you mean?"

"I think she is possessed by something." Mu Ya's voice was cold, "Yes, that must be the case! She is an evil spirit, so she has been so abnormal recently."

How else to explain everything that happened to her recently?
