King Pingyu quickly pushed aside the crowd and looked forward.
He had met Lin Feilu at her birthday banquet before. Although she had grown up now, her facial features were still recognisable from back then.
King Pingyu lost his voice, “The Fifth Princess?!” He hurriedly said to the surrounding guards, “Put them all down! Put down the bow! Do not accidentally hurt the Fifth Princess!”
The woman in red was still fighting hard, and Lin Feilu walked straight over with Xiaohei. King Pingyu was full of fat, and when he smiled, his eyes practically disappeared. He repeatedly apologised, “Fifth Princess, this is really disrespectful of me. Today there is an assassin in the palace. After I take this assassin down, I will entertain Your Highness and His Highness the Crown Prince!”
Lin Feilu had walked through the heavy security to him and winked at Xiaohei.
Xiaohei understood in an instant and drew his sabre. He placed it on King Pingyu’s shoulder and held him hostage.
Confused by this reverse of events, King Pingyu asked, “Princess, what are you doing?”
Lin Feilu stopped laughing at him and said in a low voice, “Tell your people to stop.”
When the blade was next to his neck, he could feel a trace of cold pain. King Pingyu immediately shouted, “Stop! Everybody stop!”
The fight in the yard finally stopped.
The woman in red kicked one person into the pool and looked back at Lin Feilu with a hint of doubt.
Lin Feilu smiled and waved to her, “Heroine, please come here. We can have a chat.”
The woman in red held a broadsword, and her body straightened. Her black hair was tied on the top of her head with a wooden hairpin, and a half ponytail hung down with a neat temperament. Despite hearing the girl in the pavilion calling her, she didn’t step forward as she continued to look vigilant with the broadsword in front of her.
(Editor: Chinese broadswords are different. You can check it HERE.)
Although she was frantically fighting for her survival earlier, she did not miss the conversation between this girl and King Pingyu.
The bastard kept shouting the address ‘Fifth Princess’, so the two were clearly from the same family. She wasn’t sure why they were still trying to put on a show in front of her.
The woman in red was unmoved as Lin Feilu guessed what she was thinking. She said with a straight face, “Heroine, I’m not with him.”
King Pingyu was anxious, “Fifth Princess, what are you talking about? I-I am your Imperial Uncle!”
Lin Feilu turned his head with eyes that were cold and faint, “Shut up, old thief, do you think you’re that worthy to be addressed as such? Where is the woman in yellow that you captured last night?”
King Pingyu stammered, “I…I don’t know what Your Highness is talking about.”
Lin Feilu, “Xiaohei, cut off five of his fingers first.”
King Pingyu screamed, “In the firewood room! She was not obedient, so I had her locked up to suffer. Hurry up, Xie Bai! Hurry up and bring her to the Princess!”
The guard beside him led the way and soon brought Queyin over.
The entire time, Queyin cried and asked them to release her. When the guards brought her to the front, she saw the mess resulting from the fight in the courtyard. As she saw Lin Feilu and the guards holding King Pingyu hostage, she suddenly exclaimed, “Lady Huang! “
She didn’t think that Lin Feilu’s presence was disgusting any longer; she could only think of her as a beautiful fairy that had descended the Heavens to save her from this hell-like abyss!
King Pingyu was stunned by her calling the Princess ‘Lady Huang’. Then, he stared at Lin Feilu for a while, thinking that someone was pretending to be the Fifth Princess.
Lin Feilu took out the Crown Prince’s jade pendant and flashed it in front of him, “Can you see clearly enough?”
King Pingyu’s legs immediately softened into jelly.
