Chapter 334 Night Exploration

This made Huo Li fall into deep self-doubt and regret, unable to extricate himself.

At this time, her personal maid Qiuyue came in and knelt respectfully in front of her.

Then he reported, "Miss, according to Lianyue's confession, Gu Xiangsi still has a group of assassins under her control. Although many have died recently, there are still about twenty or so who have been secretly kept in a secret house outside."

"In addition, Gu Xiangsi also has a small portion of his wealth hidden in that house. I heard it is buried next to the dry well in the backyard."

Huo Li sneered, "I didn't expect Gu Xiangsi to be so smart. She even knows not to put all her eggs in one basket. She's really cunning!"

"What a pity that beauty has such a tragic fate and chose the wrong side!"

Qiuyue continued, "But when we sent people over, the gold, silver, and jewelry buried underground had already been taken away, and even the group of assassins were nowhere to be found."

"How could this happen? Someone actually got there first."

"Anyone suspected anything?"

Huo Li was so angry that he threw an exquisite and expensive teacup, and his face was full of anger.

The little maid shrank back in fear.

"Yes... yes, after extensive investigation by the secret guards in the mansion, they finally locked their target on Gu Qingcheng."

"Because Gu Xiangsi had a total of four maids. When the Grand Tutor's Mansion was attacked that day, two of them died and another was seriously injured. The secret guards speculated that she must have received the news from the seriously injured maid, and then took the initiative to attack."

Haha, this bitch dares to snatch things from her. She is simply courting death.

When Huo Li thought of Gu Qingcheng, he felt a tightness in his chest and it became difficult for him to breathe.

It was this bitch who made His Royal Highness Prince Duan think about her for so many years. In the end, she didn't know how to cherish him. Instead, she turned around and offered herself to him, throwing herself into the arms of Prince Chang.

This made His Royal Highness Prince Duan sad and upset for a long time.

This fickle woman should have died long ago!

Now that Gu Qingcheng has snatched away something she has been coveting, let’s settle both the old and new accounts together!

She would never let Gu Qingcheng go.

Then, she called over a secret guard and ordered in a cold voice, "From today on, you will keep an eye on Gu Qingcheng's every move. If there is any movement, report it immediately."

At this moment, Gu Qingcheng must be surrounded by Gu Xiangsi's loyal followers, following her like a shadow. Huo Li knew that if he wanted to kill this man, he had to find a perfect opportunity. Any rash action would only alert the enemy and ruin his plan.

Thinking that he couldn't kill his enemy immediately, Huo Li's eyes turned red with anger and he was burning with rage. His handsome face was distorted with resentment, and his former gentle demeanor was gone, replaced by a hideous and terrifying look.

*****

On the other hand, after learning that Lin Pianran was poisoned by Huo Li, Huo Yuchen became furious.

There was a cold murderous intent in his gloomy eyes.

It seems that some people really want to die!

They even dared to secretly poison the woman he cherished most. If he did not fight back fiercely and teach these villains a lesson that would be unforgettable, then he would have no right to sit on the throne of the crown prince.

After calming down, Huo Yuchen's murderous eyes were filled with sparks.

He said to Baili Qingyun in a cold and ruthless voice, "Now, among Prince Jing's sons, there are only five who are the most proud. Aside from two who are not in the capital, the other three must not be spared."

"Why not just kill him directly!"

Baili Qingyun had never seen Huo Yuchen so angry and furious. At this moment, he was like an enraged lion, so terrifying.

Baili Qingyun saw Huo Yuchen in a rage and could completely understand his feelings.

After all, Lin Pianran is his life!

If anyone touches Lin Pianran, he can resist the urge to kill immediately with a knife, which is considered very restrained.

But it is always inappropriate to just kill people like this.

He is the crown prince of the Qin Empire and cannot disrupt the rules.

You must not kill people at will.

Baili Qingyun drank tea leisurely while softly comforting her, "Pianpian asked us to check Huo Li's background first. She doesn't know why Huo Li suddenly attacked her. These things always need to be clarified."

"Pian Pian also said that Huo Li was taken away by her master for several years when she was six or seven years old. Let's find out who her master was and what she learned."

After hearing this, Huo Yuchen was also confused. They really didn't know this information.

I have never paid attention to this person before. Who would collect information about an unknown woman in the harem?

After thinking for a while, he said, "Huo Li's behavior is indeed very strange. Why did she suddenly jump out and target Pian Pian? There must be a reason that we don't know about. It is very necessary to find out..."

Then, Huo Yuchen sent out two teams of Black Cloud Guards to investigate all the details of Huo Li and Prince Jing's Mansion, and paid attention to all the areas that had been neglected before.

When night falls and everything is quiet, it is a good opportunity for the dark forces to act quietly.

Under the cover of night, Lin Pianran successfully sneaked into the Wang family mansion.

She was already very familiar with these things of looting property.

It was very smooth to plunder the Wang family's property. In less than an hour, she had searched the entire house.

Of course, she gave up on those less important rooms as she felt they didn't have much value.

Now she only needs to catch the big fish and fish in the thick net. She doesn't have the energy to search for those small fish and shrimps.

She also has a second target, which is Prince Jing's Mansion.

She has always known that Prince Jing's Mansion is rich enough to rival a country. Otherwise, how could Prince Jing have dozens of concubines, father nearly a hundred children and grandchildren, and enjoy all the prosperity in the world.

The first step to take revenge on Prince Jing’s Mansion is to empty their wealth!

Without the support of wealth, such a large family would inevitably fall into internal chaos, and the usual minor conflicts would be magnified several times.

If we add fuel to the fire from outside, the situation of internal and external troubles will be like a towering building that is about to collapse in the wind and rain. In a moment, it will collapse and turn into dust.

With this plan, Lin Pianran was full of confidence and enthusiasm.

With the memories of her previous life, she knew the layout of Prince Jing's Mansion very well and remembered it in her heart.

Her first target was the backyard, because in any mansion, the backyard's defense was the weakest.

Because it is where the female family members live, men are usually not allowed to enter and leave at will, and there are relatively few male guards. The safety of the masters in the backyard is protected by some strong old women.

The situation in Prince Jing's Mansion is even worse, where men are strictly prohibited from setting foot there.
