Luo Bingbing stepped down from the carriage and walked directly toward the gate of Prince Luo's Residence, with Su Yan and Du Zhongtian naturally following closely behind.
Seeing Luo Bingbing and her companions heading straight inside, the gatekeeper stopped them and asked, "Miss, this is Prince Luo's Residence. You cannot enter without permission."
Upon hearing this, Luo Bingbing coldly replied, "Impudent! How dare you block This Princess from returning home?"
The gatekeeper was taken aback by the words of the Little One, thinking to himself, "The two Princesses in the residence are both inside and have not left. Who is this Little One claiming to be a Princess?"
Realizing that the gatekeeper was confused, the Little One revealed her jade pendant, which clearly had the character "Bing" engraved on it.
As soon as the gatekeeper saw the character on the pendant, he was stunned and involuntarily exclaimed, "L-Little Princess, you are the Little Princess?"
This time, Luo Bingbing did not respond to him and simply walked past him into the residence.
Luo Bingbing led Su Yan and the others toward her Piaoyun Pavilion. However, when she returned to Piaoyun Pavilion, she was taken aback.
Inside, weeds were overgrown, the door was damaged, and spider webs covered everything. It was evident that no one had cleaned or managed it for a long time.
Seeing Piaoyun Pavilion in such a state, Luo Bingbing couldn't help but furrow her brows deeply.
She knew that Piaoyun Pavilion had become like this not only because she and her Nursemaid had left but also because some "rats" in the residence had deliberately moved away the maids who used to take care of it.
At that moment, Su Yan gasped in surprise and exclaimed, "Little Junior Sister, did you used to live in a place like this?"
Before Luo Bingbing could answer her, Su Yi spoke up beside them, saying, "Yan'er, this place surely wasn't like this before. It's just that it hasn't been lived in or cleaned for too long, which is why it has become like this."
Hearing her brother's words, Su Yan gently nodded and said, "Oh, I see!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Bingbing addressed the crowd, saying, "Let's go! Head to the hall first."
Thus, they made their way directly to the hall. Along the way, they encountered many maids and young servants, but all were unfamiliar faces, and none of them greeted Luo Bingbing.
Seeing those people, Luo Bingbing couldn't help but furrow her brow slightly, thinking to herself, "It seems that Prince Luo's Residence is hiding a lot of spies! I need to find a time to clean this up."
When they arrived at the entrance of the hall, a maid blocked their way.
This maid was also an unfamiliar face, and Luo Bingbing and her companions could sense that she was quite skilled.
"Who are you? You can't enter here. Leave quickly," the maid said coldly to Luo Bingbing.
Upon hearing her words, Luo Bingbing couldn't help but smirk slightly, revealing a mischievous smile as she slowly replied, "Oh really?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the Little One swiftly used her internal energy to pull the maid closer and firmly grasped her throat, saying, "In this royal residence, you have no right to speak."
After saying that, she called out loudly with her internal energy, "Butler, come out!"
While she was speaking, the maid secretly launched a hidden weapon at her. After releasing it, the maid's eyes were filled with triumph.
However, things took an unexpected turn.
She looked in disbelief as her perfectly aimed hidden weapon was casually swatted away by the Little One and fell to the ground with a soft "clink."
Seeing her perfectly aimed hidden weapon drop to the ground after being effortlessly dismissed by the Little One, she widened her eyes in shock and stared blankly at the Little One.
Luo Bingbing grinned wickedly and said, "With your mediocre skills, you think you can ambush me?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the two siblings from the Su Family said in unison, "Exactly, you really overestimate yourself!"
With a light flick of her hand, she sealed the maid's acupoint, and Luo Bingbing casually tossed her aside before heading straight to the main seat in the hall.
The others who followed also "consciously" took their seats on either side.
The maid was slightly taken aback when she saw the Little One sitting directly in the main seat. At that moment, she realized that she still didn't know who this Little One was.
So, she stared directly at Luo Bingbing and asked, "Who are you?"
Upon hearing her question, the Little One sitting in the main seat ignored her. However, Su Yan beside her spoke up, "How pathetic you are, not even knowing who my little junior sister is yet daring to block her path."
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Yi sitting on the other side chimed in, "Exactly, a mere maid dares to obstruct her master's way."
At this point, he paused slightly and looked at the maid, asking, "Do you know who she is?"
After hearing Su Yi's question, the maid shot him a disdainful glance and coldly replied, "I don't know."
At that moment, the only elder present, Du Zhongtian, spoke up. "She is the Little Princess of Prince Luo's Residence!"
Boom...
It was like an invisible bomb! The maid was stunned and thought to herself, "So she is Luo Bingbing, the person my master asked me to find in Prince Luo's Residence."
Her expression naturally did not escape Luo Bingbing's keen eyes. The Little One calmly said, "What? Surprised to hear my name? But your master sent you to Prince Luo's Residence just to find me!"
Upon hearing her words, everyone present was shocked. Of course, the most shocked was the maid who had infiltrated Prince Luo's Residence.
She looked at Luo Bingbing with a very surprised expression, and after seeing her astonished gaze, Luo Bingbing slowly said, "As an undercover agent, you are really quite incompetent. Your expressions have been revealing your emotions all along. However, that has nothing to do with me. You might as well hurry up and tell me who your master is."
After hearing Luo Bingbing's words, she immediately replied defiantly, "So what if you are Prodigy? Give up on that thought! I will not reveal anything."
"Is that so? Well, even if you don't say it, I already know."
The maid looked at her with a mix of confusion and disdain after hearing Luo Bingbing's words.
However, Luo Bingbing paid no attention to the maid's gaze and directly revealed the information she had just detected in the maid's mind using her Ability.
She calmly stated, "Your name is Xu Mengting, you are from the Haotian Kingdom, and your master is the Prime Minister of Haotian Kingdom—Li Yan."
Not only was the maid named Xu Mengting shocked by what the Little One said, but even Su Yan and the other three were equally astonished.
Su Yan immediately asked, "Junior Sister, do you know her?"
"I don't know her and have never seen her before, but I can read minds!" Luo Bingbing answered playfully for once.
The people around her were left speechless after hearing her words, all wondering if this Little One really could read minds.
However, Xu Mengting from Haotian believed that this Little One truly possessed mind-reading abilities.
Because she had never seen Luo Bingbing before, yet Luo Bingbing could accurately state her background.
Seeing that her mission had failed, Xu Mengting prepared to bite down on the poison pill hidden in her mouth to commit suicide. But before she could crush the pill, Luo Bingbing swiftly moved in front of her, gently grasped her chin, and struck her back a few times. Soon after, the pill was expelled from her mouth.
After stepping on the pill to crush it, Luo Bingbing said, "If you want to die, it's not that simple."
A splendid performance was taking place here, while the main character who heard Luo Bingbing's words was rushing toward the hall.
Due to Luo Bingbing using her internal energy, her voice could be heard throughout Prince Luo's Residence.
The servants who had not yet left the royal residence were both shocked and frightened upon hearing the voice of the Little One. Hearing Luo Bingbing meant that their Little Princess had returned.
This also meant that their master's power would be reclaimed, and correspondingly, their good days were coming to an end.
However, those servants who entered the royal residence after Luo Bingbing's departure did not know whose voice it was and felt no fear.
These individuals were all skilled in martial arts, sent by various factions, and they had their own purposes for being in the royal residence.
The steward was busy arranging a marriage for his son when he suddenly heard the voice of the Little One. Upon hearing it, his hand trembled involuntarily, causing the teacup in his hand to fall to the ground.
The people sitting next to him were momentarily stunned by the voice of the Little One but did not recognize who it belonged to.
However, they all thought to themselves, "Who has such audacity to speak like that to this esteemed steward?"
Yet, instead of being furious as they expected, the steward was so frightened that he dropped his teacup.
At this moment, curiosity arose in them about the person who had spoken, and they all wanted to see who it was.
The steward hurriedly informed the matchmakers who had come to propose that he had urgent business and then called a nearby servant to escort them out of the royal residence.
He himself quickly made his way to Azure Water Pavilion to discuss countermeasures with Consort Luo.
When he reached the entrance of Azure Water Pavilion, he saw Consort Luo walking toward him with her beloved daughter, Luo Cai Feng. From their appearance, it seemed they were headed to the hall!
"Consort Luo" and "Luo Cai Feng" hurriedly asked the steward, "Steward, what is going on? Has that person returned again?"
After hearing "Consort Luo's" words, the steward quickly replied, "Your Highness, I do not know if she has returned, but it does sound like her."
Upon hearing this, "Luo Cai Feng" immediately asked, "What should we do? If it really is her who has returned, how are we going to live our lives from now on?"
The princess gently patted her beloved daughter's hand after listening to her and pointed towards the hall, indicating they should go see if that person had indeed returned.
Thus, the three of them hurried towards the "Hall of the Wangfu."
"Luo Caidie" was in the dilapidated courtyard where "Madam Xiang" was located when both mother and daughter suddenly heard "Luo Bingbing's" voice, causing them to pause in surprise.
Regaining their composure, they exchanged glances. "Madam Xiang" signaled to her daughter "Luo Caidie" to quickly go to the hall and find out what was happening.
Receiving her mother's signal, "Luo Caidie" promptly left the small courtyard and headed to the "Reception Hall."
When the steward and "Consort Luo" arrived at the "Reception Hall," they saw a little one sitting in the main seat of the hall. On either side were a man in his fifties, a little girl around the same age as "Luo Cai Feng," and a very handsome young man.
Upon entering the hall, they all remained silent, exchanging glances with one another.
However, "Xu Mengting" seized the opportunity. She pretended to be very wronged and loudly said to "Luo Cai Feng," "Princess, please save me! I am someone you brought back! They claim I am a spy for 'Hao Tian' and have sealed my acupoints!"
"Luo Cai Feng," upon hearing this, immediately said to "Luo Bingbing," "You need to release her acupoints quickly. She is someone I brought back from the street and even saved my life! Therefore, she is not any spy."
After hearing her words, "Xu Mengting" felt very pleased but did not show it; instead, she continued to look at "Luo Cai Feng" with a pitiful expression.
Meanwhile, "Su Yan," along with the three others and the little one sitting in the main seat, all displayed expressions of disdain after hearing her words.
"Looks like you haven't changed at all! Still as brainless as before," Luo Bingbing said lightly while looking at Luo Cai Feng.
"You..."
Su Yan and the others burst into laughter upon hearing Luo Bingbing's words.
At the same time, they thought to themselves: it turns out that the Little One is not only cold but also has a sharp tongue, leaving no room for mercy. They would have to be careful in the future and definitely not offend her.
At that moment, a striking figure appeared at the entrance of the hall. It was none other than Luo Caidie.
As soon as Luo Caidie walked into the hall, she spotted the Little One and recognized her as Luo Bingbing. However, she feared that if Luo Bingbing returned, she would reclaim the real power of the Wangfu, making life even harder for the three of them.
Thus, she conceived an idea to deny the Little One's identity.
After greeting Consort Luo and Luo Cai Feng, she turned to the Little One sitting in the main seat and said, "Where did this little brat come from, daring to sit there? Someone, throw these impostors out for This Princess."
