It is related to the diplomatic relations between Qinglong Kingdom and Xuanwu Kingdom. King Na'an is also quite powerful in Xuanwu Kingdom and is a strong contender for the next heir to the throne. His sister was killed, how can he let it go?
Even the regent couldn't protect him in this matter.
Duan Mulei was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat. How could he still have the mood to care about Wei Ning and Princess Qingtong? He quickly rushed out with his people.
Princess Qingtong was still a little confused and confused, and murmured: "I heard that Princess Heqing of Xuanwu Kingdom is a master of the second level of Shuiyuan. It is impossible to be killed so easily!"
"Yes." Wei Ning replied lukewarmly. If she hadn't been used to killing people and moved the knife quickly, she might have been dragged down by Princess Heqing for a while.
Her career as an assassin in her previous life gave her more combat experience than any master in the world, especially assassination, which was basically her specialty.
Princess Qingtong turned to look at her, her eyes softened a little, "You didn't go to the palace banquet, where were you?"
"Just go out for a walk." Wei Ning didn't want to say more, stood up and said, "Sister Huang, let's go and see what's happening over there."
"What's so good about a dead person?" Although Princess Qingtong didn't want to go, Wei Ning still pulled her out.
Along the way, there were heavily guarded guards everywhere, there were bright lights and noisy people.
The palace was surrounded inside and outside the palace, and assassins were being investigated everywhere.
There were many people surrounding the place where Princess Heqing died, and each torch lit up the night brighter than the day.
At this time, a panicked voice sounded: "It wasn't me! How could I kill the princess? This matter must have been framed by someone! I want to report it to the regent!"
"Duanmulei, the evidence is conclusive, do you still want to deny it?" A rough man's voice sounded, obviously from the Xuanwu Kingdom, "Your Highness, Prince An, please express your condolences. I will definitely let the person who killed Princess Heqing be brought to justice."
He paid the price!"
"What evidence? I said it was a frame-up! I didn't kill anyone!" Duan Mulei still refused to bow his head and insisted on seeing the regent.
There were too many people around outside, and Wei Ning couldn't see what was going on inside, but it was quite exciting to listen to the fierce quarrel.
Princess Qingtong squeezed her hand gently, gritted her teeth and whispered: "What retribution, this Duan Mulei should have died long ago!"
"Isn't that right? King An is a ruthless character, how will he deal with the person who killed his sister?" Wei Ning said lightly.
By framing Duan Mulei this time, even if she can't kill him, she can still make him suffer a lot. She has many ways to make his life worse than death!
"Haha, you are such a cruel little girl. I like this trick of framing you." Suddenly, a faint chuckle sounded around her.
Wei Ning suddenly raised his head and looked around.
They stood at the back of the crowd, and there was no one around except a few guards who were interrogating the palace maids and eunuchs.
Then where did this voice come from? Did someone see her framing her?
However, the Qingtong Princess next to her had a calm expression, not at all like she had just heard those words.
Could it be that she was the only one who could hear this sound?
who is it?
She subconsciously touched her sleeves, which contained several things she had taken from the frivolous man, such as jade pendants, rings, etc. Could it be that there was something weird about these things?
"Who are you?" Wei Ning frowned and asked with her spiritual consciousness.
