Chapter 20

"Your Highness..." Lin Ruzhen moaned, looking at Dongfang Yan with teary eyes.

Making his heart soften a little.

Dongfang Yan's life was saved by Lin Ruzhen, even if she told a few lies, it couldn't erase the life-saving grace.

"Zhen'er, don't be afraid, I promise to protect you for the rest of your life, and I won't let anyone hurt you!"

The man who was gentle a moment ago looked at Lin Qingyue with eyes as cold as frost the next moment:

"Even if Zhen'er has told a few lies, she is still a bright pearl in the sky, not something a poisonous woman like you can compare to! Someone!"

The guards received the order and stepped forward to take Lin Qingyue.

The tabby cat blocked the front, letting out a low hiss: "Dongfang Yan, you really can't distinguish good from evil! Get out of the way!"

Unfortunately, no one could understand it, and only saw a small cat overestimating its own strength.

Lin Qingyue felt extremely ironic, everyone in the Lin Mansion was indifferent, only this cat was willing to stand up for her.

Dongfang Yan touched the cat claw marks on the back of his hand, remembered the previous grudge, and ordered coldly: "Someone, beat this beast to death for me!"

"Go!" Lin Qingyue hurriedly shouted at the tabby cat.

The tabby cat felt very uncomfortable: If only it were still the Crown Prince, at least it could use its status and power to suppress Dongfang Yan and not let Lin Qingyue be bullied again.

However, it couldn't even protect itself now, and staying behind would only be a burden. Before the guard's sword fell, it darted into the grass, jumped onto the eaves quickly, and disappeared into the night.

Several other guards received Dongfang Yan's order and came to take Lin Qingyue.

Lin Qingyue said: "You don't need to do it, I'll go myself!"

At this moment, she could feel the obsession of the original owner remaining in her body getting weaker and weaker—even the original owner was completely dead to him, right?

She suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Dongfang Yan coldly.

Very good! This will be the last time she gives in, there won't be a next time.

Dongfang Yan was inexplicably startled by her gaze, and an unspeakable sadness arose in his heart. It was as if he had lost something important.

"Yue'er!" Zhou Shi chased after her for two steps, but was pulled back by Lin Xiao, "This matter is her own fault! Sisters should work together and plan things together. She is good, instead, they kill each other."

"Mother, I'm sorry..." Lin Ruzhen came to pull Zhou Shi with teary eyes.

But Zhou Shi's heart had already turned cold, and she coldly brushed her hand away.

After returning to the Wangfu, Lin Qingyue was locked in the dungeon.

The huge black iron lock fell, locking the door of the cell.

Dongfang Yan looked at her through the cell door: "Lin Qingyue, just stay inside honestly, don't think about escaping. This black iron chain is specifically designed to restrain mystic arts. I specially borrowed it from the palace for you."

Lin Qingyue sneered: "Is it for me? Isn't it for Lin Ruzhen that you spent so much effort?"

But is that woman full of lies really worth it?

If one day, you know she is a fake daughter who stole her identity, will you still be so affectionate?

Or put aside class prejudice and be with her regardless of everything?

Dongfang Yan saw the mockery in Lin Qingyue's eyes and felt it was even more of an eyesore.

This woman is really stubbornly hateful!

Why can't you just give in? Why are you always so aggressive?

He hated Lin Qingyue's current appearance, not just because of Lin Ruzhen. He felt that all his means were like hitting cotton, with no force at all. It made him, a high-ranking Prince, feel as if he couldn't control this woman at all.

The more this was the case, the more he couldn't help but want to crush her spirit.

He didn't believe she could continue to be so stubborn!

"Lin Qingyue, since you are full of skills, I think you shouldn't die if you are hungry for a few days. Just reflect on yourself here, when you know you are wrong and stop harming people, I will let you out!"

After leaving these words, Dongfang Yan flicked his sleeves and left.

People are iron, rice is steel, he didn't believe that after being hungry for a few days, this woman could still be so arrogant and unruly!

Lin Qingyue tried the cold iron chain, and sure enough, it was covered with a faint restraining force. Her strength and mystic arts fell on it like mud into the sea, and she couldn't shake it at all.

"Dog Prince, I underestimated you."

Lin Qingyue gave up opening the lock and turned to look at the situation in the cell.

The Wangfu dungeon was dark and damp, and there was a small window the size of a palm on the back wall, revealing a little moonlight.

A normal person's body naturally couldn't pass through that kind of small window.

Should I practice the Bone Shrinking Technique temporarily? No, no, that kind of technique is too ugly, I won't practice it even if I die!

Just as Lin Qingyue was wondering if there were any other ways, she suddenly heard a cat's cry from the small window.

Looking up, she saw a tabby cat drilling out of the small window, its big round eyes like two small lanterns in the dark, sparkling.

After seeing the situation inside clearly, the tabby cat jumped down with a leap: "Meow meow..." Finally found you!

The cat circled around Lin Qingyue's feet a few times, and seeing that she hadn't suffered any harm, it felt relieved and stood still.

"It's good that you didn't confront him head-on, just the guards in the Wangfu alone number over a thousand."

He was right.

Lin Qingyue's spiritual power was still very weak. The talismans she drew looked powerful, but they were mainly aimed at demons and evil spirits.

If she really fought with thousands of troops with real swords and guns, relying only on brute force, it would definitely not work.

So she didn't fight Dongfang Yan head-on just now.

Lin Qingyue said: "I thought you had left, I didn't expect you to know how to come back. Is it because you were afraid that if you left me, no one would be able to help you restore your identity?"

The tabby cat said: "Regardless of whether you can help me restore my identity in the future, I will help you. On one hand, you saved me, and on the other hand, I think you shouldn't be treated like this by the Prince of Jin."

"You were originally his legal wife, even if you used a curse, there was a reason. Since he married you, he should give you the treatment and respect a Princess deserves. Instead of being unable to distinguish right from wrong for the sake of an outsider!"

Lin Qingyue smiled faintly: "The rumors say that the Crown Prince is wise and benevolent, and it is indeed true. Seeing that you came back to find me today, in the future, if your physical body still exists, I will definitely help you return your soul and help you restore your identity. But for now, we still have to find a way to get out first."

As she said this, she sighed and pointed to the lock on the cell door, "I don't know which turtle grandson designed this thing, I can't open it for the time being."

The tabby cat's eyes dodged: "Sorry, it was me..."

Lin Qingyue: "... hehe, you have some means."

The tabby cat hurriedly explained: "This was originally aimed at those villains who possess strange abilities and commit crimes. I didn't expect Dongfang Yan to use it to lock you."

"Fortunately, at the beginning of the design, just in case, I designed two ways to open the lock. In addition to the key, it can also be opened with a secret code."
