Suddenly, the carriage came to a halt.

The woman's eyes widened as she shouted, "What's going on? Why have we stopped moving?"

"Milady, someone is barring the path," the driver outside said.

"Who is it? Don't they know that it's forbidden to stop carriages here?"

As her eyes widened and she voiced her anger, she hear a familiar voice at her ear.

"Since you want to leave, why don't you come down and say goodbye?"

The woman's body began to tremble, and she seemed to have been struck by a lightning bolt.

It was quiet outside the carriage. The woman said nothing, and the person outside silently awaited her answer. With no one saying anything, all that was left was deathly stillness.

The complexion of the woman's face constantly shifted, as did the expression in her eyes. After some time, perhaps finally understanding that she could not escape, she gave a soft sigh and regained her composure.

Creeak!

The door to the carriage opened and the woman walked out with a composed expression. A golden carriage was parked in front, sumptuous and ornate, blocking the avenue. The dragons decorating the carriage were proof enough of the carriage owner's esteemed status.

A row of people stood in front of the carriage, and in the very center of them stood a young and handsome prince, Fifth Prince Li Heng.

"Your Highness!"

Du Zhiqi gave a slight bow to Li Heng, her attitude natural and unpanicked. It was like all this was a mere happenstance.

"You shameless woman! At this stage, you still want to pretend? Our Highness always treated you sincerely, but you wanted to harm him! Truly no better than a beast!"

Before Li Heng could speak, Li Jingzhong rushed forward in rage and rebuke.

If looks could kill, Du Zhiqi would have died countless times already.

"Uncle Jing!" Li Heng suddenly shouted, but his gaze had never once left Du Zhiqi.

Li Jingzhong's body shook. He immediately knew that he had lost control of himself and fell quiet.
