In the palace, Ling Lai always maintained a low-key and weak image. Otherwise, he wouldn't be yelled at by a branch princess. Now that she is determined to visit Ito and her mother in person, it is naturally impossible for her to go with everyone. Bring at most two followers to serve her basic actions.
Ling Lai's mansion has no threshold, so she can move around freely at home. But outside, even if it was just a slope, it would be difficult for Ling Lai to move forward with his hands. So it’s completely understandable to bring one or two followers.
In addition to Xiao Zheng, Ling Lai also brought a young girl who was about twenty-five or six years old, with a decent appearance but not eye-catching. But Xiao Zheng could guess from just one glance that this person was quite powerful. At least it has reached the level of ordinary strong people.
Judging from her attitude in communicating with Baidi Mitsui, this person should also belong to the Baidi clan and be a disciple of Grandma Baidi.
From this alone, Xiao Zheng could guess that Ling Lai was very ambitious and a talented and resourceful woman. Otherwise, how could she have so many strong men around her? You know, looking at the major wealthy families in China, it is extremely rare to be surrounded by experts like Ling Lai. At most, only a few top wealthy families can do it.
How much effort did it take for a mere unpopular disabled daughter of the royal family to achieve this
As Xiao Zheng expected, Baidi Sanjing did not follow. First, Ling Lai said that Baidi had assassinated Ito, and once he showed up, it would most likely arouse Ito's suspicion. Secondly, Ling Lai is a descendant of the royal family, so even if the mission fails, Ito may not dare to kill her.
After all, no matter how strong and capable Ito is, he probably wouldn’t dare to openly kill members of the royal family, right? That is not a matter of human life, but a major incident that provokes imperial power and even national faith!
After leaving the palace, Xiao Zheng personally picked up the slender and weak Ling Lai. The female attendant beside him folded up the wheelchair very skillfully and put it in the trunk of the car.
As soon as he picked up Ling Lai, an elegant fragrance emerged from Xiao Zheng's nose. The touch is also soft and tender, just like holding a ball of cotton, and it feels excellent.
Because Xiao Zheng was not familiar with the road conditions, although Ling Lai had completely preserved her legs, her muscles would not atrophy and become deformed. But since her lower body was completely out of control, she had no chance of driving in this life. Therefore, Xiao Zheng sat in the back compartment with Ling Lai in his arms, leaving the driving seat to the mysterious female attendant.
After everyone was seated, the car moved forward slowly. Xiao Zheng was bored, so he started chatting and asked with a smile: "I heard His Highness the Prince mentioned before that Grandma Baidi once assassinated Ito. So she still stays in the Prince's residence. , how could no one know?”
Ling Lai could tell that this was Xiao Zheng's test. But she didn't care, and just explained with a gentle look: "Every time she performs a mission, she will carry out all-round grooming, and occasionally even her height will be adjusted. Naturally, no one associates her with the female officer next to me."
Xiao Zheng suddenly realized, nodded and said: "That's true. Grandma Bai Di is the best in the world in the art of disguise. It's really easy to deceive people's eyes. I looked in the rearview mirror just now and I couldn't recognize myself. "
Ling Lai said slowly: "Mr. Xiao has an unparalleled temperament. Even if his face changes, he still needs to restrain his aura to avoid Ito's clues."
Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will perform the role of eunuch perfectly."
"Eunuch?" Ling Lai was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xiao Zheng with a bright look. "Mr. Xiao is really humorous. As far as I know, you have many confidantes around you. If you are a eunuch, where are there any normal men in this world?"
Xiao Zheng smiled and did not continue.
Ito's villa was only two streets away from the palace, and the street was wide and smooth. It only took the car five minutes to drive slowly to the door of the villa.
"We're here." Ling Lai's eyes flashed with strange color, and an inexplicable look of excitement flashed across his face.
In an instant, Xiao Zheng, who was still full of witty words, quickly stopped the smile on his face. Both his breath and his eyes have become low-key and ordinary. He seemed like an ordinary man on the street, without any characteristics.
Ling Lai noticed the sudden change of the man next to her. While she was delighted, she also deeply felt the terror of this man.
If it was him who he wanted to assassinate tonight, how could he find something strange about him
Both his expression and his face were harmless.
"Your Highness, I will carry you out of the car." Xiao Zheng said in a respectful and slow tone. Before he even got out of the car, he was already in the act.
"Yes." Ling Lai was also very cooperative, just nodded indifferently, and then let Xiao Zheng carry her out of the car.
Pushing the wheelchair, Xiao Zheng and the others stood at the door of the villa. At the same time, a young man in a straight suit came out. With a look of confusion on his face, he slowly said, "Who are the three of you?"
"Ling Lai." Ling Lai responded calmly.
"Prince Ling Lainei?" The man in the suit's expression suddenly changed and he quickly notified the contact person in the villa. Within a minute, a graceful woman with outstanding temperament and beautiful appearance walked out slowly. She was like stars over the moon, followed by seven or eight followers. It looks very grand.
But after she saw Ling Lai standing at the door of the villa, her expression changed slightly and she quickened her pace.
Although Xiao Zheng did not dare to look directly at the other party, he glanced at him with his peripheral vision. With just one glance, he could determine the relationship between Ling Lai and this middle-aged woman.
Presumably - this person is the emperor's sister, right
"Mother." From the wheelchair, Ling Lai bowed slightly and said in a respectful tone.
"Why are you here?" Meiko was not enthusiastic, and there was even a hint of surprise in her eyes.
Obviously, she didn't believe that Ling Lai would come.
Secondly, she didn't know what her daughter was doing here.
"I'm here to see the queen mother." Ling Lai said slowly, then raised her eyes slightly and said with some hesitation. "Come and see him too."
Meiko was silent for a moment, then finally nodded and said, "Come in."
After saying that, the iron bars slowly opened. A path was made for the three of them.
Xiao Zheng pushed the wheelchair and escorted Ling Lai through the door. The female attendant followed beside him and looked very pious. But the moment Xiao Zheng entered the gate, he felt powerful killing intent coming from all directions.
It seems that Ito is very concerned about the defense of this villa. Not the slightest oversight. If Xiao Zheng wanted to break in from the outside, he might be discovered before he even entered the main building.
Pushing a wheelchair, Xiao Zheng followed Meiko and others into the main building. Arriving at the extremely luxuriously decorated living room.
There was no one waiting in the living room except for a few maids who were waiting with their heads down. And Ito, whom Ling Lai and Xiao Zheng were looking forward to, was not among them.
But Xiao Zheng's expression remained the same, and Ling Lai didn't show anything strange. After Meiko sat down, Ling Lai slowly raised her eyes and asked with a very pious look: "Where is Uncle Ito?"
"Are you coming to see me. Or to see him?" Meiko asked with cold eyes. The relationship with this daughter was extremely cold.
