"Your Highness, they have entered the city today, and they were well prepared, staying at the Qin Mansion in the East City."
Excitement flashed in the eyes of the Eldest Princess. "I want to see him!" She suddenly stood up.
The old matron was startled and hurriedly exclaimed, "No, Your Highness!"
The people below looked at the Eldest Princess in surprise, sensing that her feelings for someone named Qin Feng were quite extraordinary.
The Eldest Princess shot a cold glance at the old matron.
The old matron was so frightened that she knelt down. "Your Highness, if that person finds out, I'm afraid the young master’s life will be in danger."
"Hmph! Do you think he really doesn't know?" The Eldest Princess said coldly.
The old matron was momentarily speechless.
"I have endured for so many years; now I don’t want to endure any longer. If it comes to it, I’ll rebel!"
A gasp escaped from one of those kneeling below, nearly causing him to faint. What had he just heard?
The Eldest Princess turned around, her gaze icy as she looked at the man below. Suddenly, she extended her hand, and a red light shot from her fingertip.
In an instant, the man's brow was pierced, his eyes wide open as he fell dead.
Seeing this, the old matron realized that the Eldest Princess had reached her limit. The appearance of Qin Feng had pushed her to the brink of collapse.
"Your Highness, you may see him, but only at night and quietly," the old matron whispered.
"That works too." The Eldest Princess's eyes brightened with excitement.
"Oh dear, Guan Mama, get up! How could I let you kneel?" The Eldest Princess laughed as she helped the old matron to her feet.
The old matron couldn't help but shake her head. "If you hadn’t agreed, would you have helped me up?"
"Eldest Princess," she continued with enthusiasm, "what should I wear? Something serious? Or gentle? Or more dignified?"
The old matron sighed in resignation. "Your Highness, wouldn’t nightwear be better?"
"Nightwear? That’s too..." The Eldest Princess seemed somewhat dissatisfied.
The old matron's expression grew serious. "Your Highness, if you don’t agree to this either, then just kill me."
Realizing this was Guan Mama's final bottom line, the Eldest Princess reluctantly nodded. "Alright then."
At the Qin Mansion, Nie Rong had already gone to the palace. His status was different; upon arriving in the capital, he had to meet with the Emperor.
Qin Feng was not worried at all; since they had summoned him to the capital, they would not kill him immediately. The people outside remained silent, and Qin Feng took his time, picking up a book to read.
Soon, night fell. Nie Xiaoqian and the others, having traveled for so long, were already exhausted. They hastily ate dinner and went to sleep. However, Nie Rong had not returned; he only sent word through someone else, saying he had matters to attend to and that they should not worry.
In the middle of the night, as Qin Feng was resting with his eyes closed, he suddenly opened them wide. They had indeed come. A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he slowly sat up.
Two shadowy figures suddenly landed in the courtyard, and with a rustle, over a dozen young women emerged, surrounding the two black-clad individuals. They held long swords, watching the intruders warily.
"Oh, quite cautious, aren't we? Xiao Ba, are you sure this person you admire isn't a lecherous fiend?" A melodious voice rang out, laced with sarcasm.
"Cough, cough! That Seventh Sister is mistaken; Brother Qin is definitely not that kind of person," another black-clad figure hurriedly replied.
"Hehe, with bodyguards as beautiful as these women, how can you say he isn't?" The mocking tone of the melodious voice grew stronger.
At that moment, Old Fox approached with a serious expression. "Ahem! Ladies, the Qin Mansion is not a place you can just barge into. Surrender now."
"Oh dear, it's a misunderstanding! Hu Butler, it's me—Huang Xu!" One of the black-clad figures quickly pulled down the cloth covering his face.
