When saying the last sentence, Ye Ling's eyes were firm, her words were severe, and she had a kind of courage that was not afraid of anyone!

  "Now I can rest assured," Yun Luo's eyebrows rose, "Ye Ling, although you and Qing Yan are both my subordinates, however, compared to you who once wanted to secretly harm me, Qing Yan is more important to me. Her identity is that of a maid, but in reality she is no different from my own family members. In the years when my grandfather was not around, only she stood by me unwaveringly and even used her body to block attacks for me multiple times."

  "I knew," Ye Ling smiled, "that during these two years, although I was a hostage, sometimes I could briefly go out under the supervision of the imperial palace guards. Once, I saw you being bullied and beaten on the street, it was Qingyan who protected you with her own body. When I saw this scene, my heart admired her greatly, and I never thought that I would have the chance to work with her one day."

  That maid's loyalty and tenacity in protecting her master might be the very reason why he, who always looked down on others, set his eyes on her.

  "It's fine as long as you understand," Yun Luo nodded, "If you hurt Qingyan in the future, I won't let you off! However, except for this matter regarding Qingyan, I will stand on your side and give you a chance to avenge yourself."

  Ye Ling's heart skipped a beat, and a complex mix of emotions surged up in her chest.

  Half a year ago, he helped the Emperor of Longyuan Country plot against her, but he didn't expect that she would be so magnanimous, not only giving him unparalleled power, but also giving him the opportunity to take revenge on his enemy.

  But as for myself, I fear it will be difficult to repay her kindness in this lifetime.

  "His Imperial Highness, the Third Prince."

  Just as Ye Ling was sighing in her heart, a servant hastily came over and respectfully handed her an envelope.

  "The second prince has brought you an invitation."

  Ye Ling's face sank, and he took the notice from the house servant's hand. After seeing the contents of the notice, his expression became even more unpleasant.

  "What's going on?" Yun Luofeng slightly raised an eyebrow and turned her gaze towards Ye Ling, asking.

  Ye Ling took a deep breath and said: "Ye Xiao invited me to gather at his mansion."

  "What's next?"

  If it were just an invitation, Ye Ling probably wouldn't be so angry.

  When Yun Luo asked the question, Ye Ling tightly pursed her thin lips, and a complex expression flashed in her eyes: "He told me to bring you along!"

  Yun Luo Qing gently stroked his chin with a sly smile: "Since someone has invited us with such enthusiasm, it would be too embarrassing to decline."

  "Master..."

  Ye Ling originally wanted to address Yun Luo Qing as "master", but suddenly remembered that there were still family servants who came to report news in the courtyard, and the words that reached his lips were swallowed back. He let out a helpless sigh: "Miss Yun, you probably don't know Ye Lu's character, this guy is extremely lustful, besides frequenting brothels, he has also forcibly taken countless virtuous young women, and judging from his tone, he must have seen you come to my estate and taken an interest in you."

  "What's the big deal?" Yun Luofeng chuckled, her eyebrows and eyes filled with a sly smile. "Ye Ling, let's go, take me to see this so-called Second Prince!"

  Ye Ling saw Yun Luo's determined expression and didn't say anything else. She nodded slightly: "Alright."

  As for his own master, he was very confident, but thinking of Ye Lu's lewd appearance, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart. Can his own master also be a person who can be peeped at by such a scoundrel?

  However, Ye Ling also knew that Yun Luo Xuan had invited him because he was the son of Rong Huang Hou, and Rong Huang Hou was related to the death of Yun Yang and his wife...
