That was Lian Ying, Princess Dawn!

Ning Yue raised her eyebrows. “Why is Princess Dawn here?”

When Lian Ying saw Ning Yue and Jiang Ying, it was as if she had seen her saviors. She stepped forward and grabbed their hands. Her voice was trembling with fear. She said, “Please save me!”

Ning Yue glanced at Jiang Ying, who was also frowning. Right on the heels of that, he glanced at Nan Xing.

Nan Xing immediately understood and brought the three of them into the house.

After entering Nan Xing’s house, Lian Ying’s fear lessened.

“What happened to you, Princess Dawn?” Ning Yue asked.

It would have been better if she hadn’t asked. Ning Yue’s question made Lian Ying even more afraid and she trembled.

“No, no, no. If I say it, I will die!” Lian Ying said in a trembling voice.

“If you can’t tell us what happened, please forgive us for not being able to help you. Please leave,” Nan Xing said calmly.

When Lian Ying heard that Nan Xing wanted to chase her away, she quickly stopped her and said, “I’ll talk, I’ll talk. Don’t chase me away.”

If she was chased away, her life would not be guaranteed. Jiang Ying, Ning Yue, and Nan Xing were her last straw to clutch at. She had to hold on to them tightly.

“When I heard the news of the new emperor’s death, I was suspicious. I was about to tell Prince Chu not to return to the Black City Kingdom, but I didn’t expect to bump into a situation related to him. I tried my best to escape, but I was still hunted down by the royal family,” Lian Ying said.

Ning Yue noticed that Lian Ying was saying that he had tried his best to escape after bumping into King Chu. Any normal person would subconsciously think that the person chasing after Lian Ying was King Chu.

Lian Ying’s words were very smartly phrased. She did not directly say that Prince Chu was chasing after her. She was talking about the royal family.

This meant that the people chasing after Lian Ying were very likely not sent by Prince Chu.

Jiang Ying also noticed the loophole in Lian Ying’s words. Only Nan Xing didn’t seem to notice. He said, “Prince Chu, is planning to rebel?”

When Ning Yue heard Nan Xing’s words, she secretly rolled her eyes. She actually did not understand the hint in Lian Ying’s words.

When Lian Ying heard Nan Xing’s words, she looked a little embarrassed. She did not answer Nan Xing’s question. She said, “Can you save me?”

Ning Yue and Jiang Ying looked at each other and understood something from each other’s eyes.

Jiang Ying said to Lian Ying, “We aren’t good enough to help each other now. Besides, there’s nothing frin you that we need.”

Lian Ying’s face turned extremely pale. If Jiang Ying and Ning Yue were unwilling to help, she was finished.

In the end, Ning Yue added, “We don’t know anything about your condition now. We can’t help you.”

Lian Ying’s pale face softened a little. She was silent for a while before asking Ning Yue, “If I’m honest, are you willing to help?”

“That depends on the situation. If helping you will seriously threaten our lives, then it’s impossible for us to help,” Ning Yue said calmly.

They did not have a deep relationship with Lian Ying. On the contrary, how much trouble had Lian Ying caused Ning Yue because she wanted to marry Jiang Ying?

Lian Ying did not say anything. She knew that Ning Yue’s words were a very realistic question.

She took a deep breath and forced a smile. “Can you let me think about it? While I consider it, can I stay here for the time being?”

“How long do you plan to consider it for? A month or three months? Or half a year or a year?” Ning Yue asked directly.

When Lian Ying heard this, she smiled bitterly. “I won’t think about it for so long. Tomorrow, at most. I’ll have an answer tomorrow.”

Ning Yue nodded. It would only be for one night at most. It was easy.

“Sure,” Ning Yue said.

After chatting about this, Ning Yue and Jiang Ying had an understanding about the situation. Nan Xing found a room for Lian Ying. After leaving, he ran to ask Jiang Ying and Ning Yue, “Why do I feel that what you said to her isn’t what I think on the surface?”

Ning Yue couldn’t help but laugh. How could she answer? It was indeed not what Nan Xing heard on the surface, but wouldn’t saying such words be equivalent to saying that Nan Xing was stupid?

Therefore, Ning Yue did not tell Nan Xing the answer directly. Instead, she asked, “Nan Xing, let me ask you. Who do you think dares to chase after and kill Princess Dawn?”

Nan Xing frowned as she recalled Lian Ying’s conversation with the two of them just now. Finally, he realized something..
