Pingping felt a shiver down her spine.
They had actually caught up.
The response speed of the Cui Family was much faster than she had expected.
She hurriedly tore off the jade pendant worn by Hong Ling and threw it to the soldier guarding the gate: "We are from the King Jing Residence, inside the carriage is Lady Hong Ling of our residence, let us pass immediately!"
The sound of horse hooves thundered from behind, and the leading man shouted: "There's a murderer inside, you can't let them through!"
At this moment, Pingping spoke up with nimble-wittedness: "The matter of a murderer is for the Jingzhao Prefecture to deal with, is it your place to intervene? With proof in hand, you ought to let us pass!"
"Or do you look down upon the King Jing Residence?"
She waved her hand dismissively.
The guards accompanying the carriage drew their swords an inch from their sheaths.
