Chapter 53 Tuoba’s Fourth Princess

Chen Xin let go of Fang Ziyu and whispered to him, “Xiao Yu’er, pack some for her to take back.”

“Okay.” Fang Ziyu also smiled generously at this moment, got up, and went to the kitchen to get some oil paper.

“Come closer.”

Ling Shu quickly moved closer and leaned her head.

After whispering something in her ear, Chen Xin asked, “…Can you do it?”

Ling Shu immediately nodded vigorously, and her sweeping hair followed suit.

“This might be a bit challenging, but now that Sister is my Boss, I’ll go investigate tomorrow. I won’t let Sister down.” Ling Shu looked carefree, but she felt a strong sense of competitiveness.

The more mysterious and difficult something was, the more she wanted to challenge it. Looking at Chen Xin, she made a rare serious promise.

Chen Xin listened warmly and said, “Yes, the sooner, the better.”

At this time, Fang Ziyu also came back from the kitchen with the oil paper, carefully wrapped half of the pastries on the plate, and handed them to Ling Shu with a smile, “Here you go.”

“Thank you, Brother-in-law, uh no, thank you, Master. From now on, Sister will be my Mistress, and naturally, Brother-in-law will be called Master.” She made a courteous gesture, got Chen Xin’s approval, and left happily. Walking in the quiet alley, she felt ambitious and shouted loudly, “I’m going to be useful from now on.” If she hadn’t been short of money to take the imperial examination before, she would have definitely taken it. But now that she had a master, she believed that following her master would be more beneficial.

Chen Xin and Fang Ziyu exchanged a smile and watched her gradually leave with a shaking and swaying figure, thinking about what to do next.

At this silent midnight, Chen Xin’s originally closed eyes gently opened, then she turned over and hugged Fang Ziyu, closing her eyes again to sleep and cultivate her inner strength.

Meanwhile, on the roof of an inn in Wuding Town, two groups of people were fiercely fighting.

“Who are you people?” A woman in black martial attire, holding a long sword, was equally fierce, her eyes fixed on the opponent as she asked sharply.

But the black-clad people on the other side remained silent, their sword movements relentless, each move aimed to kill in the dark night, their weapons clashing with a loud “clang clang,” echoing infinitely in this quiet and spacious town, making it even more intense.

Some nearby residents who heard the noise shrank into their quilts, not daring to make a sound.

“Nuan Fan.”

“They’re Tuoba Lin’s people.”

At this moment, a gentle and calm voice rang out.

A woman dressed in white, wearing a phoenix-patterned robe reserved for the royal family, stepped forward and said with a graceful smile. She was about sixteen years old, with exquisite features, slightly immature eyebrows and eyes, but her speech was full of old-fashionedness.

“Your Highness, your body is not well. Please go back quickly. I’ll take care of things here.”

Hearing the voice of her master, Nuan Fan, the personal bodyguard, changed her tactics unexpectedly and cut the opponent’s arm with a sword. She then turned around and loudly said.

“Trying to leave? Since Fourth Princess has such insight, we have no choice but to offend her. I believe the princesses will be very pleased to hear about Fourth Princess’s death in a foreign Kingdom.” At this time, a gloomy and weird-looking woman looked at Tuoba’s Fourth Princess and said, her hand exerting force, forcing back the other person, leaping over and approaching her.

“Your Highness, move!” Seeing this, Nuan Fan urgently shouted, but just then, a black-clad woman stabbed her shoulder with a sword, then with a muffled groan, she couldn’t care for herself, turned around, endured the pain, and tried to protect her master ahead of the opponent.

“Your Highness!”

“Your Highness!”

The other guards fighting saw this and became red-eyed, shouting loudly.

“It’s you again, Deng Fei! Fourth Princess is the imperial princess, the Empress’s own daughter. If anything happens to Fourth Princess, the Empress will never let you go.” Seeing Deng Fei getting closer to the Fourth Princess, Nuan Fan threatened angrily, avoiding the attack and rushing over.

Deng Fei paused for a moment, but before Nuan Fan could breathe a sigh of relief, she heard her say fiercely, “Humph! So what if Fourth Princess is favored by the Empress? And if I kill you all, the Empress won’t know anything.” After speaking, she quickly approached Tuoba’s Fourth Princess, sneering, raised her hand, and stabbed towards her heart, “Fourth Princess, blame your master for not tolerating you.”
