Even though he knew Yun Bixue was fine for the time being, Xie Limo couldn't help but worry.

She had just given birth, and she was tormenting herself like this. Just thinking about it made his heart ache, even to the extent he felt breathless.

He had wanted to give Ah Xue the best of everything—to protect, love, and cherish her, and to keep her away from the slightest bit of pain.

But now, he had made Ah Xue suffer.

Now, he felt weak in his heart. He could only repeat quietly in his heart, “Ah Xue, sorry.”

But that didn't make him feel better.

He recalled that scene where he rushed back home from the palace. Ah Xue was frail and extremely pale, yet she had no choice but to confront Dongfang Mujin.

When he hugged her thin body, his heart ached so badly it trembled.

But at that time, he could only choose to chase after Dongfang Mujin.

He knew that Yun Bixue's thin and frail figure would be engraved on his heart, to remind him he hadn't protected her well!

Seeing as he was about to reach the princess's compound, Xie Limo sniffed blood in the air.

For people who had experienced a lot, especially those who had experienced killing, they were very sensitive to the smell of blood. They could even sense it from a distance in the air.

Tonight, with the cold winds continuously blowing, the smell of blood naturally reached his nose.

The indistinct gunshot sounds made his heart pound wildly. He stepped on his accelerator and charged right for his destination crazily.

“Ah Xue, you must wait for me. Nothing must happen to you.”

Right now, at the princess's compound, Xiajun Yanwu and Yun Bixue were engaged in a confrontation.

“Yun Bixue, you dare not kill me. If you kill me, you will have to die like Xie Limo. One convicted of killing the emperor, and the other of murdering the princess. You dare to treat me this way? I'm the princess… Back then, you were despicable and shameless. I have checked. You're the one who took the initiative to climb into Xie Limo's bed…”

Yun Bixue simply let Xiajun Yanwu rant in a berserk manner, not bothering to explain.

When she decided she had heard enough, she kicked Xiajun Yanwu to the ground and said as she trampled on her, “Xiajun Yanwu, you've said enough. Later, you will find out what I'm doing to you.”

Yun Bixue turned and asked the hidden guards behind her, “Has Xie Liu arrived?”

“He just arrived!”

“Let him come in!”

After Xie Liu came in, Yun Bixue instructed him, “I want to find out the truth from her, everything including what happened six years ago and all the heinous deeds she committed.”

Xie Liu nodded respectfully. “Yes, Young Madam. Don't worry.”

Xie Liu was very impressed by Young Madam. He understood now that there was a vigor about Young Madam that made one willingly follow her orders and respect her.

Which woman could be as strong as that?

Even those hidden guards were astonished and awfully impressed.

Xiajun Yanwu paused in surprise. “What are you going to do? Let me tell you, I'm never going to reveal what you wish to know, regardless of what method you use.”

Yun Bixue narrowed her eyes and said coldly, “Then we shall try. You will find out in a while.”

After that, Yun Bixue left the room and left the s.p.a.ce to Xie Liu. She ordered her men to guard the place, as it was best if no one disturbed Xie Liu when he was conducting hypnosis. Otherwise, it would be detrimental to the effects of hypnosis and also to Xie Liu's health.

Leaning against the door, Yun Bixue gazed at the skies, fatigue starting to set in. She felt like strength was depleting from her body bit by bit.
