Volume 2, Chapter 250: Countermeasures
The dark clouds dispersed, and there was a crescent moon in the sky, surrounded by a few stars, quiet and gentle.
The prince's deep eyes reflected the candlelight, flickering and exuding the invisible pressure of the superior.
But this coercion was of no use to Dongming Ziyu. He lowered his eyes slightly and said, "I just came to the capital to study. I don't have many contacts, so I can't judge the identity and purpose of the assassin."
The prince looked at him carefully and felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said, so he didn't ask any more questions. He instead asked about the situation of the jade mine and the Qianlima Express Station.
The matter was not too complicated. The people from the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple and Jing Zhaoyin finished asking questions in a short while. The prince stood up and left. Dongming Ziyu and his family respectfully saw him off.
The prince walked out and waved his hand, "No need to send it off."
Shangguan Ruoli took the cloak from Ling Yue's hand and put it on Rong Chuan, "Yours is full of blood and can't be used anymore. Use this to keep out the wind and cold."
"I'm not cold." Rong Chuan's voice was a little more choked up. Since the death of his mother-in-law, the only people who have given him a cloak are his wet nurse and attendants. He felt his mother's care in Shangguan Ruoli.
"You have internal injuries, so you should be more careful." The straps of the cloak were flexibly wound around Shangguan Ruoli's fingers, and tied into a beautiful bow.
Rong Chuan's hands ran down the sides of the cloak, "Thank you, Auntie, you are also injured, please take good care of yourself. I will leave five people to protect you, just in case the assassin becomes crazy and seeks revenge on you."
The prince looked a little uncomfortable and urged: "Let's go, Jing Zhaoyin and the people from the patrol camp will also strengthen the defense of the capital. If you are not here, the assassins will not catch the couple."
He also felt that the assassins came for Rong Chuan. After all, Dongming Ziyu and Shangguan Ruoli were powerless and should not have any mortal grudges against anyone. In the capital city, human life cases are very sensitive, and there is no deep hatred. Most people
No lives will be lost.
Rong Chuan smiled and said, "I'm leaving."
The stars in the sky were twinkling, and the lights in the courtyard were dim. Rong Chuan's smile seemed to be shining brightly, and the admiration in his eyes could not be hidden.
The prince felt slightly sad when he saw it, and complained in his heart, really, how can this kid treat outsiders like his own parents?!
The group of people walked out, with attendants holding lamps in front of them and servants behind them lighting the way. Although there was still the smell of blood in the air, all the blood stains on the corpses had been removed.
Rong Chuan got on the carriage and leaned on the soft pillow. He was really tired. It was like the feeling of collapse and fatigue after a fierce battle. Even after resting for so long, the energy in his heart could not be relieved.
Rong Qian lowered the cotton curtain of the carriage, gathered up his cloak, and asked in a low voice: "Could the assassin be that woman? I always feel that she would not do such stupid things in the capital. After all, there are previous examples, let's
If something happens, the imperial grandfather and father will be the first to suspect her."
Rong Chuan looked at the swaying car curtains in fascination, "The assassin came for my aunt. It could be her, or it could be Princess Shun. There are only two people in the capital who have a feud with my aunt and have the ability to raise death warriors.
"
Rong Qian frowned, "You have to beat them, otherwise there will be no end. Women are more cruel than wolves, and they can't figure it out and only act based on their emotions."
Rong Chuan nodded, rested his head on his brother's shoulder, closed his eyes, and said softly: "Brother, their family is different to me, not as simple as a savior.
At the beginning, I fell from a wild pear tree with despair. I never imagined that I would be alive to see you. I never dared to hope that I would see the sun tomorrow. Fortunately, I met them.
They were fleeing from famine, and food and water were so important, but they still rescued me and took me with them all the way, like family..."
Rong Qian put his arms around his younger brother's shoulders and whispered, "I know."
The night was already deep. He looked through the gap in the curtains at the darkness outside, his eyes firm and sharp. He whispered out the window: "Send the news to the palace that the assassination of the second young master almost affected Shangguan Ruoli." .”
The light of the lantern dissipated the night, illuminating the palace corridor very brightly. The servants all bowed slightly and walked like cats without making a sound. In the team of dozens of people, only one person's leather boots made a slight or heavy sound. echo.
King Shun's face was cold and his fists were clenched. The night wind fluttered his black cloak, and the golden crown on his head reflected the cold light under the stars.
He was playing chess with his father tonight, but he heard the news that Li'er was injured. This Rong Chuan could really cause trouble for Li'er!
