At night, when the moon was high in the sky, there were thousands of stars, and the magnificent palace was brightly lit. Under the moonlight, a dark figure escaped from the guards, maids and eunuchs, wandered outside the palace courtyard of Shangyang Palace, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Xi'er, have you heard any news?"
Seeing Xi'er entering the bedroom, Lianyue sat up and leaned on the edge of the brocade couch and asked.
"Princess, be careful, don't pull the wound." Xi'er walked quickly to the brocade bed, took the pillow and put it behind Lian Yue's head, and said, "I have inquired carefully. Princess Yilan was killed by an assassin in the inn.
Poison assassination, the assassin has not been caught yet!"
"Princess Yilan was poisoned and murdered by an assassin?" Lian Yue's heart shrank and she said with worry on her face: "How is Princess Yilan now? Is her life in danger?"
If the princess of Beiteng Kingdom was poisoned and killed in the dynasty, the dynasty must give Beiteng Kingdom a satisfactory explanation. However, Beiteng Kingdom only has one princess, Yilan. If it is not done properly, it will lead to war between the two countries. This matter is not trivial.
After all, who wants to murder Princess Yilan?
It’s definitely not from the imperial dynasty, and it can’t be from Beiteng Kingdom itself!
Could it be that the portrait Long Chenyi took before was a suspicion?
Suddenly, her eyes widened in horror, her face full of disbelief!
Impossible! It couldn’t be them. Why would they do that?
Could it be what the father meant!!?
"I heard that Princess Yilan is out of danger. The emperor sent people to surround the entire Jinxiu Inn and are searching for the assassin." Xi'er twisted the quilt and covered Lian Yue with her. Seeing that Lian Yue's face was pale and her eyes were filled with fear, she hurriedly
Worried: "Princess, are you okay? If you feel uncomfortable somewhere, I will ask the imperial doctor to come and take a look at you!"
"I'm fine!" Lian Yue hurriedly grabbed Xi'er, who was about to call the imperial doctor. "In the next few days, you must pay attention to the news in the palace at all times, especially the news about whether the assassin has been caught!"
"Well, the slave will pay attention," Xi'er nodded, looked at Lian Yue and said, "Princess, you haven't taken the medicine yet. I will bring you the medicine. You must take the medicine so that your injury will heal quickly!"
"
"Go ahead." Lian Yue waved her hand thoughtfully. She now had to recover from her injuries and get well in the shortest possible time. She had to investigate this matter carefully.
Just when Lian Yue knitted her eyebrows in deep thought, a dark figure sneaked into the dormitory quietly and came to Lian Yue quickly: "Your Highness the Princess!"
Lian Yue was startled. She was startled by the sudden appearance of the black shadow. She hurriedly looked up and saw a familiar face. She breathed a sigh of relief and soothed her chest and said: "Why are you the only one showing up, and the others?"
Why didn't the imperial guard show up?
The man in black narrowed his eyes slightly, frowned and said: "There are many guards in the palace, and there are so many masters. If they all show up, they will be easily noticed!"
Lian Yue nodded slightly, frowned, and asked: "Do you know what happened to Princess Yi Helan's poisoning? Is it you who did it?"
The man in black stared at Lianyue and frowned and said, "What do you think of this, princess?"
Lian Yue stared at the man in black closely and asked sternly: "Did you come to the imperial court to protect the princess? Are you carrying out some secret mission on the orders of your father?"
The man in black raised the corner of his mouth and asked instead of answering: "What order does the princess think we have received from the master? What did we do secretly?"
Lian Yue took a deep breath, frowned and warned: "Princess, I don't care what orders you have listened to from your father, or what you are doing secretly, but your identities have been exposed.
The Emperor is already aware of your existence and is now looking for you everywhere. Go tell the other guards to terminate the mission immediately and return to Lianyun Kingdom immediately!"
The man in black frowned even deeper, "If the princess wants us to return to Lianyun Kingdom, you must personally convey the will. My subordinates do not have that power!"
After the man in black said that, his figure flashed and disappeared into the dormitory like a breeze.
He had been frowning for a long time, with worry on his face. He was about to give a stern order when he saw the figure of the man in black move and disappear into the dormitory in the blink of an eye! His uneasy heart became even more panicked.
In the courtyard of Nianxue Pavilion, Mu Tianxue was lying on the imperial concubine chair looking at the night sky above his head, eating the grapes that had just been brought from the red peony root, and said to Long Chenyi who was sitting next to him: "Do you really want to
Bring him back?"
Long Chen also took a sip of tea, glanced at Mu Tianxue, and said slowly: "The blood on his body is of royal blood after all. Although he committed a major crime back then, he was framed by his fourth brother and was demoted to a commoner.
Five years is considered his punishment!"
Mu Tianxue raised an eyebrow, looked at the stars on the night sky, and said: "Although he is not willing to be a commoner, he still has a sense of pride in his bones! It is not easy to bring her back, at least, Lan Yi
I'm afraid your trip will be in vain!"
Long Chen also pursed his lips and said nonchalantly: "If you can't take it back, then catch it!"
Hearing Long Chenyi's words, Mu Tianxue couldn't help but laugh. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly saw a man in black clothes appearing in the yard like a gust of wind, "Master, Master Xue!"
Mu Tianxue glanced at the man in black, "How's it going? Did you find out anything?"
The man in black reached out and tore off the human skin mask on his face, walked to the table and sat down, frowning and said: "As Master Xue thought, Princess Lianyue didn't know what was going on!"
Mu Tianxue put the peeled grapes into Long Chenyi's mouth, wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and said: "Did Lianyue reveal how many guards there were to escort her to the imperial court this time!"
Yumian frowned, "No, in order not to arouse Princess Lianyue's wariness, my subordinates did not ask further. However, Princess Lianyue had already guessed that the guards who escorted her to the imperial court were secretly carrying out secret missions.
She suspects that the poisoning of the Beiteng Princess was secretly done by the guards. In the past few days, she will definitely summon the guards and issue an order for them to withdraw to Lianyun State immediately!"
Long Chenyi's face was gloomy, his starry eyes were frozen, he took a sip of tea and ordered in a cold voice: "Immediately send someone to secretly post outside Shangyang Palace! Monitor Princess Lianyue's every move!"
"Yes, Master" Yumian picked up the human skin mask and disappeared into the yard.
Yu left in front of him for a second, and Lan Yi appeared a second later, "Replying to the master, this subordinate has neglected his duty, and he - is unwilling to return to the palace!"
"Haha——" Mu Tianxue looked at Long Chen and laughed, "What did I say? Lan Yi's trip was in vain!!"
"Please master, please punish me. I am incompetent, so I am willing to accept the punishment!" Hearing Mu Tianxue's words, Lan felt very helpless and quickly asked his master to apologize.
Long Chenyi's expression was grim, as if there was a layer of frost on his face. He glanced coldly at Lan Yi who was kneeling on the ground, "Go and capture him immediately and place him in Lianyang Palace!!"
"Yes, I obey!" After Lan Yi's respectful words fell, the figure had disappeared into the yard!
