Chapter 328: Chapter 328: Shocked Chapter 328: Chapter 328: Shocked She raised her hand, patting her own cheek in an attempt to snap out of her bewildered state. At the end of the day, she was only thirteen years old, and Ya Molian’s actions right now could undoubtedly harm such a young sapling!
Inside the Elder Princess’s Mansion in Jianan City.
Just yesterday, a maiden newly entered into the mansion was mysteriously assassinated in broad daylight, teetering on the brink of life and death. This horrifying event not only disturbed the peace within the Princess’ Mansion but also left the streets of Jianan City in a state of panic.
The Emperor had personally visited the Elder Princess’s Mansion to scold his second son to the point of humility.
Whether they were guards or maidservants in the Princess’s Mansion, everyone was subjected to a massive clean-up. Those with any discrepancies in their accounts during questioning were all dismissed.
The mansion was uncomfortably chilly. The maidservants who were going about their tasks trod cautiously, fearing every new step may lead to unforeseen trouble.
The interior of the Elder Princess’s Mansion was unfamiliar to her. Earlier, being chased by the three men, she had had no opportunity to properly observe her new surroundings. Her sole focus had been to shake off her pursuers and retreat into her golden pearl space.
Thinking about yesterday, Lin Caisang felt slightly puzzled. The first person she had thought of wasn’t her golden pearl space, but Ya Molian.
That’s why, after entering her golden pearl space, without another thought, she found herself in the bamboo house, ready to see Ya Molian immediately. She felt assured that once she saw him, she was safe.
Lin Caisang sighed and glanced at Ya Molian, who had done as he promised and kept his eyes closed.
“Brother Molian, we’re here. You can open your eyes now.”
This man was truly obedient. She hadn’t told him to close his eyes. Wasn’t he curious? Didn’t he want to see how she travelled from one place to another?
When Ya Molian opened his eyes, he was astonished by the stunning view in front of him.
“The Elder Princess’ Mansion,” replied Lin Caisang.
It would be pointless to conceal the truth from him. Even if she didn’t tell him, he would soon find out anyway when he met other people in the mansion. It was better if she told him herself.
At her words, Ya Molian momentarily appeared perplexed, as if he hadn’t understood what she meant.
But he quickly figured it out and reprimanding her, tapped the forehead of this little girl, who always landed him in trouble.
“You are entirely too bold. The Elder Princess’ Mansion isn’t a place you or I can easily enter!”
Without waiting for Lin Caisang’s reply, he enveloped her in his arms and, in a flash, disappeared from the spot. When Lin Caisang opened her eyes again, they were in a small alley in Jianan City.
“You are truly a handful. What am I going to do with you? Is your mission healing the Elder Princess?” he asked, looking at her.
It must have been through the same method that she reached Hongling Town before. No wonder he could never match the timeframe of her departure from Ya Village and her arrival at Hongling Town.
“I accepted this mission just yesterday. But before I could even meet the Elder Princess, I was tricked by three men. If I hadn’t run fast, I would have ended up dead.”
Yesterday was arguably the worst day of her life. Thankfully, she was decently skilled and had been practising since she entered this world. Otherwise, the outcome would have been unthinkable.
Thinking about the sight of Sang drenched in blood, standing in front of her yesterday, Ya Molian’s face grew grim. But before he could say anything, he heard the little girl next to him grinding her teeth in frustration.
