The Imperial Palace was lit with lamps. The night was much peaceful there or perhaps it just seemed. A black shadow flew over the sky above the Imperial Palace and directly ascended inside Princess Wenling's Courtyard.
The martial artists that were assigned by the Emperor couldn't even detect his presence inside the Imperial Palace.
How could they?
They have not achieved the level of skill yet where Prime Minister Xi's shadow guards have reached only three years after teaching them.
Very easily, An San walked through the large courtyard and came in front of the large chambers.
The maid that had been standing outside breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him.
"Wait here for a moment. I'll go and tell the Princess."
An San didn't say anything but the maid knew that his silence was his acknowledgment so she went inside the Princess' chambers immediately.
The inside of the chambers was not as beautiful as they were expected to be. The maid grimaced at the sight of one more maid bleeding when Princess threw the jade bangle on her forehead in her anger.
Controlling the trembling of her knees, she walked to stand in front of the Princess and bowed her head.
"My Princess, the shadow guard of Lord Xi, An San has arrived."
Princess Wenling swiftly raised her head and said immediately.
"Call him inside."
She then glanced at the maid who was kneeling with her bleeding forehead and said with an irritated expression on her face.
"Also… take her away."
When the maid left, Princess Wenling stood up from the couch and paced anxiously around her room.
The nanny who had been standing in the corner silently smirked and said
"Princess shouldn't worry so much. This servant believes that the shadow guards must have brought some good news."
However, Princess Wenling was filled with panic and fear. This time, she couldn't even see that the person who was speaking to her was the old nanny.
She picked the glass from the nearby table and threw it towards the old nanny.
It didn't hit the old nanny because at the right moment, she bowed down and dodged the glass. However, her eyes were wide with shock as she looked at the Princess. Then came the anger.
Rage and humiliation made her eyes red. If Princess had seen the old nanny's eyes at this moment then she would have seen a murderous expression on her face that looked ruthless and crazy.
"Princess…"
She gritted her teeth in anger and started but Princess Wenling raised her head to look at her just as she opened her mouth.
Walking towards the old nanny, she raised her hand and slapped her cheek loudly.
Her face was red with anger and the nanny's eyes were filled with shock.
"Don't you understand that I want you to shut your mouth?" said the furious Princess.
The old nanny pressed her lips in a thin line in anger. Her fists were clenched tightly but from her face, only submission could be seen.
Ignoring her peculiar expressions, Princess Wenling turned around to continue her anxious pacing around the room when she saw An San standing at the door.
"An San, you're here. Come inside."
An San has been standing at the doors. He also saw how Princess slapped the old nanny. His eyes flickered with worry and concern when he saw this.
The Princess had always respected the old nanny. For her to do something like this it was visible just how hysteric and emotional she was.
He blamed himself. If only he had not told her two days ago that he was thrown out of Xi Manor because he said disrespectful words about Lady Li then all of this would not have happened.
After the Princess heard those words, she looked pale and terrified.
'When did he start caring for her so much?'
'No, it can't happen.'
She has murmured.
Even An San has been left baffled by the change in his master's behavior on the day when he was thrown out of Xi Manor.
That's why today he asked his brother An Ping to meet him so that he could ask him if anything strange was going inside the manor.
"An San greets Your Highness, the Princess."
He bowed his head and greeted Zhao Wenling but Zhao Wenling was not in the mood to care about all this.
She waved her hand and said hurriedly.
"Leave all this. Tell me did you find out anything?"
"Yes, Princess."
Seeing the anticipation and expectation in the eyes of the girl in front of him, An San suppressed his smile. His face was calm hiding his every emotion as he said
"Master is just pretending in front of Lady Li."
The Princess looked confused at his words and asked
"Pretending? Why?"
"Because he is planning something against the Li Clan with the Emperor and it is necessary to ….
"divert Rui's attention to somewhere else for that."
Princess Wenling completed his words.
Since she has heard from her people that Li Rui changed the medicine that was being given to Xi Ling in Lord Xi's absence, Princess Wenling had known that Li Rui also have some people working for her.
Although she doesn't know yet how much strength Li Rui had, it was never good to underestimate Rui.
Nodding her head, Zhao Wenling whispered
"This seems reasonable."
However, she didn't notice the trembling in her voice that was noticed by An San.
The same trembling he had noticed when Princess had sent her people to kill Lady Li and had asked him whether they were successful in their job or not.
Was it relief he had seen on her face when An San had informed her that Lady Li came out safe from the attack?
An San didn't know this.
However, what he knew was that Princess didn't show any anger.
She just asked him about the left shadow guards and those who were killed and then sent him back.
Sometimes he felt confused by Princess' behavior. Because he felt that Princess doesn't want to harm Lady Li actually but at the same time he could see that she hated Lady Li.
"That means he doesn't have any feelings for Rui, right?"
An San looked at the Princess who was looking at him with hope-filled eyes.
He nodded immediately.
"Of Course, Princess. My Lord has always despised Lady Li."
As he watched the brightness in Princess' eyes coming back, An San felt happy and bitter at the same time.
Happiness was because of seeing her joy.
And bitterness was…because of something he doesn't want to accept.
Something which he had hidden in the corner of his heart.
