Chapter 124 He lost his life just by attending a banquet.

"It was the time when Your Highness was trapped in the western suburban valley. She was sick for a long time. At that time, you had not yet planned to kill her, so this old servant did not pay much attention. Now that I think about it, I think she must have been faking her illness and then secretly went to the western suburban valley."

After hearing what Eunuch Decai said, Emperor Jiaqing scoffed: "What do you think the Western Suburbs Valley is? Not to mention her, even a strong man wouldn't dare to step into such a place. Don't tell me you suspect that she went to the Western Suburbs Valley to save Prince Xiao."

De Cai Gonggong: "..."

He really did have that suspicion.

"In short, Princess Xiao is indeed quite different from ordinary women. This old servant has also heard that she even drew the blueprints for that new bow that the Ministry of War is researching."

"Yeah?"

"Yes, aren't the Phantom Guards keeping watch over Qiwu Garden all day long? Mr. Qu went to see her several times and even took the samples back to show her. Your Majesty, this kind of woman..."

De Cai, the eunuch, stared at the Jiaqing Emperor's face and tentatively said slowly, "Isn't it a bit of a waste to kill him like this?"

"She's just a woman, what's there to regret?"

Emperor Jiaqing coldly said, "If Prince Xiao is not deeply in love with her, and does not disobey me for her sake, and is unwilling to marry even a concubine, even to the point of risking his life for her, then I might consider sparing her life."

"Why don't you consider having her come and take a look at your leg?"

"If she's really as powerful as you say, why didn't she cure Prince Xiao's poison?"

It's just suppressing toxicity; there are many ways to do that, it's not a real skill.

"Stop making excuses for her. If Prince Xiao inherits the throne in the future, such a bewitching beauty who seduces the monarch cannot be kept, no matter how capable she is."

"yes."

De Cai bowed his head respectfully, not daring to say another word.

"You may leave now. If you discover anything again, remember to report it immediately."

"This old servant understands."

After Eunuch Decai left, Emperor Jiaqing instructed the chief eunuch behind him: "Eunuch Xu, after a few days when the funeral arrangements for Princess Lin are completed, have Consort Hua help Prince Lin find a new principal wife."

"Yes," said Eunuch Xu, bowing his head. "This old servant has remembered."

With such an incident occurring during the Mid-Autumn Festival, there was no need to continue. Emperor Jiaqing returned to the palace, and everyone else dispersed.

On the way out of the palace, everyone was talking about it.

It was said to be an assassination, but after the Princess Consort died, the assassin disappeared. The Imperial Guards searched several times but couldn't find him. They were reportedly ordered not to search any further.

What does this mean?

Is it simply that it can't be found, or is there another reason?

Everyone guessed that the assassin was definitely after the Princess Consort of Lin.

Many people remember that when everyone was standing together watching the fireworks, the light was sometimes bright and sometimes dim, and when the fireworks were blooming in the sky, someone saw that Princess Lin secretly held Prince Lin's hand.

Both of them had smiles on their lips.

Seeing this, the Prince of Jin sneered, saying that they were an old married couple and that watching fireworks was nothing to laugh so wildly and hold hands, and that they were sickeningly sweet.

The way Prince Lin looked at Prince Jin at that moment startled everyone.

In everyone's memory, the image of Prince Lin was always that of a humble and weak man; they had never seen such a fierce expression on his face.

Moreover, as the elder brother, Prince Jin had always been respected by him. But tonight, after saying just one sentence, his eyes looked as if he wanted to devour Prince Jin alive.

The Prince of Jin was also startled, but for the sake of his own face, he couldn't help but say a few more words.

Prince Lin almost took action, but was eventually calmed down by a look from his wife.

After that, for some unknown reason, the two inexplicably started to distance themselves from each other.

Until the fireworks ended, there was a whooshing sound in the air.

A sharp arrow pierced the air and instantly sent Princess Lin flying several feet away.

"It seems that Prince Lin is deeply in love with Princess Lin. I never expected that he would lose his life just by attending a banquet."

"Exactly, we don't know who did it, so why did the Imperial Guards stop searching?"

"Who knows? Maybe it was an order from King Jing."

"Not necessarily, I think it could be His Majesty."

"Shh! Are you crazy? Don't talk nonsense."

Sitting in the carriage, Yun Si heard the surrounding discussions and roughly learned what had happened. She was unable to calm down for a long time.

She and Qin Ye did not leave the palace together; instead, they went their separate ways.

But she had a gut feeling that what they were doing was actually pointless.

Once the intention to kill has been formed, it will not be easily abandoned.

As the carriage left the palace gate, someone suddenly stopped her.

"Miss Yun."

It was Hu Yanzheng's voice.

Why is this person so persistent?

"Miss Yun, how cruel you are! You knocked me out, and then you just left me here..."

He stood by the window of Yun Si's carriage, moving forward with it, and said angrily, "You...you've gone too far by leaving me in a place like that!"

Yun Si raised an eyebrow.

A sense of doubt flashed through my mind.

Qin Ye dragged Hu Yanzheng away. Later, Qin Ye took her away from the rockery. Hu Yanzheng should still be near the rockery. Where could they throw him?

It was probably Mu Ze and his group who did it.

"Fang Yi, hurry up."

Yun Si wasn't curious about where Mu Ze and the others had thrown Hu Yanzheng.

She had assured Qin Ye that she would not have any connection with this person, and there was no need to talk to him at this moment.

Moreover, she really wasn't in the mood to deal with him right now.

Fang Yi cracked his whip, and the horse suddenly accelerated.

They quickly left Huyan Zheng behind.

Hu Yanzheng kicked the car randomly a few times in anger, but then suddenly became strangely calm.

very good.

No one has ever dared to ignore him like this before.

The woman he set his sights on was simply extraordinary.

"My lord."

Two guards approached and cautiously asked, "Are we heading back to the royal villa now?"

"Go back? What do you mean, go back!"

Huyan Zheng's face was gloomy. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Go to the Prince Lin's residence, and take the secret passage."

No sooner had the group left than Qin Ye and Mu Ze appeared.

"Pass down the order to have all the shadow guards in the capital keep an eye on him and ensure that his every move is under our surveillance. Lu Ming, the garrison commander of the capital, will also cooperate with them."

"clear."

Mu Ze responded in a deep voice, "I'll get on it right away."

...

The moonlight was like water.

As soon as Yun Si got off the carriage, she saw a big man and a small man sitting on the steps in front of the Prince's Mansion. When they saw Yun Si, the two of them rushed up to her together.

Xiao Yi threw herself into Yun Si's arms, then turned around and looked at A Wu triumphantly.

Ah Wu's face was tense, and her eyes were fierce.

Yun Si saw that there were bloodstains on A Wu's face, and Xiao Yi's hair was also messy, with clumps all over the ground.

It was clear that the previous battle was fierce, with neither side willing to concede.

So we were sitting on the stone steps together just now because we were tired from fighting and wanted to take a break?

"elder sister."

A-Wu looked at Yun Si, her gaze immediately softening, her eyes reddening slightly: "A-Wu misses you so much."

As she spoke, she pouted and looked aggrieved, asking for a hug.

Xiao Yi, nestled in Yun Si's arms, bared his teeth at her, refusing to let her get any closer.

"Slight difference."

Yun Si called to it softly, and it immediately opened its eyes wide and looked at Yun Si.

"This is A-Wu, she's one of us, she's my sister. You have to protect her, and you're not allowed to be mean to her, understand?"

"Awooo..."

Xiao Yi retorted in a low voice.

It was trying to say that the woman was being mean to it.

They beat it up terribly.

Xiao Yi also felt wronged.

"I'll give you an extra meal tomorrow."

Yun Si patted its head: "You can eat as much as you want."

Xiao Yi's eyes flickered slightly, and after a moment he let out two "woofs" in response to Yun Si.

"And what about me?"
