Luo Yan also came over to help the two of them. The fear on Jiu'er's face softened slightly, and she finally lay down on the bed, but her hand still held Leng Ning tightly. It seemed that only by holding her hand could she feel safe.
.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
The announcement from the eunuch in the courtyard suddenly rang out, and Jiu'er, who had seemed calm amidst Leng Ning's gentle words of comfort, once again showed an uneasy expression.
There was a rapid sound of footsteps, and as expected, Mo Chuan rushed in with an anxious look on his face.
It was obvious that he arrived in a hurry, as the last button of the collar of his dragon robe was not fastened, and his hair was only tied loosely on his head. However, he seemed to have woken up from a dream and hurried over immediately.
Mo Chuan came in and looked Jiu'er up and down with his eyes. He saw that although his hair was messy, there were no injuries on his body. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and turned his cold eyes to Yan Luo, who was already kneeling on the ground. "What's the matter?"
what happened?!"
"Your Majesty, calm down!" An Fu and Liu Zhi, the leader of the Royal Forest Army who was responsible for protecting Duxue Palace, hurried in from outside and knelt behind him. An Fu said, "I woke up in the middle of the night and said I wanted to eat something cold to cool off, so I got up.
I went to the kitchen to get him food. Not long after I left, I heard a eunuch shouting that there was an assassin. I hurried over and saw Mr. Leng helping me out of the room, but the assassin was already dead!"
Naturally, Leng Ning and Tianci had already stood up. After hearing Anfu mentioning themselves, Leng Ning hurriedly said, "The villain and the dog were sleeping in the room. Suddenly they heard someone shouting assassin. The child was worried about the prince, so he hugged the dog.
I came out and handed it over to Miss Luo Yan who rushed out, and then went to the backyard to visit the prince. As soon as I entered the door, the assassin rushed towards me. The villain took action out of desperation, somewhat losing his dignity!"
Mo Chuan frowned and glanced at Jiu'er's arm tightly holding Leng Ning's arm, then turned to look at Liu Zhi on the ground, "What clues can we find?!"
"This is the only thing found on the assassin!" Liu Zhi held up something carefully. Leng Ning looked sideways and saw a white sign. The light was soft under the light, and it seemed to be something like bone or ivory.
After pressing the sign and glancing at it briefly, Mo Chuan's eyes became colder and colder, "Liu Zhi, do you know your guilt?"
Liu Zhi knew that he had just taken over the security work of Muxue Palace and something like this had happened. It was natural that he was not to blame. The other party broke in and assassinated the prince under his nose. He himself felt embarrassed, so he immediately took off his pendant.
The sword was held in front of Mo Chuan with both hands, "I will eventually betray the Holy Grace and let the Ninth Prince put himself in such danger. Please punish me!"
"Humph!" Mo Chuan snorted coldly, reached out with his right hand and pulled out the sword from his sheath, "You idiots, what's the use of keeping it?!"
