Her cold gaze was full of insight into everything, staring sharply at Xing Yun . Xing Yun shivered when she was seen, and lowered her head subconsciously .


Her heart was beating non-stop like a drum . Was this new princess really that smart that she couldn’t even hide such words from her?


She thought she could fool Yu Linglong with her admiration for Lord Xu . After all, Yu Linglong had only been married for a few days, and it was impossible to know her too much, and this reason was sufficient to explain why she had to stay at the Xu palace . It could also explain why she secretly went to the study to spy on Lord Xu . For a woman who liked the prince, it was entirely reasonable to do such a thing .


This was also an excuse that she had long thought of . If someone found out, she wouldn’t let her identity be exposed .


Xing Yun was very smart, otherwise she would not have been hiding by Lord Xu for so long without being found, but it was a pity that she was now in Yu Linglong’s hands .


Smart people will make a fatal mistake, that is, thinking that all people are not as smart as themselves and will not see through their lies .


For example, at this moment, Yu Linglong had seen through her intentions, but Xing Yun was still struggling, trying to prove that what she said was true .


Trying to walk forward on her knees, Xing Yun’s face was ashamed and embarrassed as if she was concealing her shame . She bowed her head and wept, “I beg the princess to show mercy and spare me! I know that my status is low and not worthy of the prince . From now on, I will never dare to think of anything wrong, and will do my best to serve the prince and the princess…”


Looking down at Xing Yun who was kneeling on the ground, Yu Linglong showed a cold smile .


It seemed that Xing Yun really thought she was a stupid woman who would believe such nonsense .


However, she was even more curious about what made Xing Yun conceal her true intentions at the expense of ruining her reputation and innocence?


Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and Yu Linglong suddenly felt that things were starting to become fun .


With a light sigh, Yu Linglong unexpectedly slowed down, as if she had begun to believe Xing Yun’s words: “Untie her . ”


Xing Yun secretly relaxed . It seemed that although the new princess was smart, she was just an ordinary woman, and she would really believe her own words .


Ling’er on the side was anxious: “Princess, how can this work—”


Yu Linglong sank her face, “I said, untie her . ”


Linger didn’t dare disobey her instructions, so she pouted and untied the rope from Xing Yun .


Looking at Xing Yun, who was rubbing his wrists, Yu Linglong said faintly: “I really want to believe you, but how can you prove yourself?”


Xing Yun’s relaxed mood lasted only a moment, and she was shocked by Yu Linglong’s words . Yes, she had already admitted that she had an admiration for Lord Xu . Yu Linglong should be even more reluctant to keep . After all, there are so many maids in the Xu palace, why should Yu Linglong leave a girl who might be a threat to her?


It seemed that she needed to come up with a fierce trick .


Xing Yun gritted her teeth secretly, crawled to the side of the fire with her sore body, and whimpered: “Princess, I will not dare to have any delusions, I only want the princess to keep my life…”


As she spoke, she seemed to have all the courage to put her hand into the fire . There was a sizzle of burning flesh in the room, and a scorched smell rose up .


Xuan Cao and Ling’er’s eyes twitched, and they subconsciously turned their faces away, and couldn’t bear to look at it directly .


Yu Linglong looked at this scene coldly with a sneer that was imperceptible at the corner of her mouth .


Of course she didn’t believe Xing Yun’s words, she just wanted to see how much Xing Yun would pay to prove her lie .


The greater the price Xing Yun pays, the more insidious her intentions were . Just imagine how a young woman could have such courage to put her hand into the fire and let the burning charcoal burn her own hands?


Xing Yun’s tenacity could only show that her identity was extraordinary, and it may even mean that she had received special training just to hide in the Xu Palace .


How could Yu Linglong stay with such a dangerous person, let alone believe her words?


Xing Yun trembled violently and pulled her hand out of the smoked cage as if the strength of her whole body was gone, and she collapsed to the ground dying .


However, her heart was relaxed . If she did this, the princess would definitely believe her, and her mission could continue .


It was worth it to endure the pain of a moment in exchange for the qualifications you leave behind .


Fine groans flowed from her lips . Xing Yun was obviously trying her best to endure the pain in her body and said intermittently: “Please, princess…please believe me, I’m telling you…the truth…”


Yu Linglong shook her head somewhat regretfully . She still admired Xing Yun’s temperament, but it was a pity that the woman in front of her was her enemy, not herself .


It seemed that some people shed tears without seeing the coffin .


Yu Linglong spoke softly, but when Xing Yun heard it, it was like a bolt from the blue .


“It’s not enough to burn your hands . ”


Regardless of the pain in his hands, Xing Yun suddenly raised her head to look at Yu Linglong, her eyes showing real fear for the first time .


A large piece of her hand was burned, and she didn’t even dare look at the scorched and hideous wound . The others in the room were even more afraid to look up, but Yu Linglong said that it was not enough!?


What kind of person was this woman, and why was her heart so cold?!


Xing Yun stared at Yu Linglong blankly, completely forgetting what she was about to say .


Yu Linglong pointed to the coals lightly, as if just instructing her to pour her a cup of tea, and said: “Pick a piece of charcoal and swallow it and I will trust you . ”


Burning the flesh and skin was nothing . After a few days, the wound will heal . The big deal will be the scar . If Xing Yun had the courage, she would burn her tongue and scald her throat, so that she would be speechless for the rest of her life!


Hearing Yu Linglong’s instructions, Xing Yun was so scared that there was no blood in her face, and her face was full of panic and fear . She kept shrinking back, as if wishing to find a seam to get into immediately, as long as he could escape from Yu Linglong’s brutal eyes!


“No! No, I won’t do it!”


It didn’t matter if she lost some flesh, but if she swallowed a piece of charcoal, she would be a useless person even if she was not dead!


Her mission, her ambition, her future, her splendor, and wealth were all gone!


Seeing her appear panicked, Yu Linglong slowly shook her head, with an indifferent expression reappearing on her face: “You still don’t want to say it?”


Xing Yun gritted her teeth and burst into tears . Her hideous black and red hands stretched out in the direction of Yu Linglong unintentionally, full of hopeless fear .


This scene made her look extremely miserable, and also made her look very helpless and pathetic .


“Please be forgiving, and what I said is true . Please, I’m begging you to spare me!” She cried loudly as if all the tears had opened the gate and were pouring out, adding a lot of credibility to her rhetoric . “…I have no relatives and no reason to live . If you leave the palace, there is only a dead end! Please, I’m begging you to leave me alone!”


Her thin shoulders trembled violently . She looked like a dying butterfly, crying out for mercy with the last trace of her life: “…I knew that I should not, and I will never, ever do wrong with the prince . Please think about it, I’m begging you to leave me a way out and let me be a maidservant in the house, leave me a way out!”


She was really scared . It wasn’t until this moment that she finally realized that her identity was just a small slave and her destiny was completely in the hands of her master . If Yu Linglong wanted her to live, she could live . If she wanted her to die, she must die!


Thinking of her mission, she must use all her resources to gain Yu Linglong’s trust and survive the immediate crisis .


As long as she can stay in the Xu Palace, she will not hesitate to pay any price! She must stay in the Xu Palace, this was the bottom line!


After watching her crying performance, Yu Linglong finally lost her patience .


The slender figure slowly stood up, and Yu Linglong walked to Xing Yun’s face, her charming face full of suspense .


As soon as the delicate embroidered shoes were lifted, they stepped heavily on Xing Yun’s injured hand . The dense crab claws on the shoes looked like countless sharp claws, covering Xing Yun’s hands with teeth and claws as if they were about to give her a hideous wound . Several holes were pierced into her skin .


In Xing Yun’s miserable howl, Yu Linglong said coldly: “I’ll tell you what exactly is wrong with you . ”


Xing Yun’s eyes were bloodshot, but she couldn’t conceal the fear in them . She lifted her head as high as she could, looking up at the pretty face above her head that was as beautiful as an angel but as ruthless as a devil .


“You are wrong, you are too confident . ”


From the very beginning, Xing Yun took Yu Linglong as too simple . She thought that the new princess was just like an ordinary noble daughter—dignified, virtuous, noble, and elegant . Even if she had a bright mind, she was just a small child in the house . The scheming she learned through training was at best a little wit, an ability to plan ahead, an ability to anticipate opportunities, and an ability to fight wits with courage . These were the limits of the weak girls of the boudoir .


But she didn’t know that Yu Linglong in front of her was definitely not like the daughters in the inner courtyards, and definitely not the greenhouse flowers that had never seen a storm . This woman was calmer, wiser, colder, and more cruel, and would not believe the sweet words of others, and would not be deceived by superficial phenomena .


These things Xing Yun did, from verbal deceit to confessing the self-destructive innocence of spying on Lord Xu, to holding the charcoal in her hand to show loyalty, she thought that they were working step by step . But thinking carefully, in her opinion, it was just a poor performance .


Seeing Xing Yun’s face looked like a corpse’s, Yu Linglong smiled coldly . Her lips raised slightly, and with a sneer of sarcasm, she said, “Your life in the palace is not too short . Why haven’t you seduced the prince before? How come now you are looking for opportunities to seduce the prince? Even if you really like the prince, why would you take the initiative to be honest with me? Can’t you guess how I would punish the maids who have bad intentions towards the prince?”


Since Xing Yun was the big maid in charge of the keys in Lord Xu’s Mansion, she will naturally be trusted by Lord Xu, and there must be many opportunities to get along with Lord Xu . Why hasn’t he been seduced before? It happened when Lord Xu and her were newly married . Could this maid be too confident about her appearance, thinking that she could defeat the new princess and be favored by Lord Xu?


This kind of lie was too vulnerable .


If Xing Yun really had thoughts about Lord Xu, then the first thing Xing Yun must guard against should be her princess .


The relationships between women are very delicate, but no matter what kind of person Yu Linglong was, it was impossible to keep a maid who loves her husband by her side, and it was even more impossible to eliminate the suspicion of this maid for this reason . Since Xing Yun is not stupid, she could definitely think of the consequences of doing so, so it must be a huge conspiracy to allow her to take the risk of offending the new princess while lying and deceiving people to cover up her true intentions .


Hearing Yu Linglong’s words, Xing Yun completely collapsed to the ground . Her eyes were staring like a dead fish, her gray lips were wriggling feebly, but she could not say a word .


Yu Linglong let out a cold snort and raised her feet quickly . Her embroidered soles had a few pieces of blood-stained flesh attached to them, floating strangely in the air .


Xing Yun twitched violently with pain and looked at her hand subconsciously .


The hand that was burned by the coals was already horrible . It was only covered by red and black scabs, and it was not bloody . But when Yu Linglong stepped on it, the fragile flesh and blood fell, and the blood fell from that one . As her pulpy hands moved, the flesh and blood fell, and even the dense bones inside could be seen .


Ling’er on the side silently stepped forward and wiped the ground flesh from the soles of Yu Linglong’s shoes, as if there were only a few pieces of mud on it .


Xing Yun watched this scene with horror . Even the little maid beside Yu Linglong was so bold . What kind of temperament did this new princess have?


The air was full of the smell of burnt skin and flesh, as well as a strong smell of blood . Yu Linglong took out her kerchief and gracefully covered the tip of her nose, as if she was disgusted with the smell, and said with impatience, “I’ll ask you one last time . Are you going to tell me or not?”


Xing Yun finally gave up struggling as she looked at the noble and glamorous woman in front of her . She lowered her head and her voice was desperate: “Princess, I…I knew it was wrong . ”


She couldn’t remember how many times she had said this sentence, but everyone present knew that this time, she really knew that she was wrong .


She didn’t scream until her voice was hoarse, nor cry bitterly for mercy, but in this flat and desperate tone, she spoke her truest words yet .


Dragging the badly injured hand, Xing Yun struggled to get up and bowed to Yu Linglong . Her voice carried a calmness that had never been heard throughout the night as if her disguise had been removed .


“Princess, it’s not that I don’t want to say it, but…I really can’t say it . ”
