Chapter 516: Overthinking



After listening to the Third Prince's words, Shi Qingluo pondered for a moment.

She asked the man in black, "You guys should be good at interrogation, right?"

The man in black nodded, "We are also good at interrogation."

She first pointed at several Ge people who were tied up on the ground with fierce looks on their faces.

"Then I'll leave these people to you. Get the information out of their mouths as soon as possible about why they ambush and murder the Third Prince and why they want to capture me."

He pointed at the traitor who was being held down by the Third Prince's men not far away, "And find out which side this person is on."

The man in black seemed to understand, "No problem!"

So he took a few secret guards who were good at interrogation and dragged the man to an invisible forest in the distance.

The future mistress was here, and he was afraid that their methods would scare her.

When they went to interrogate him, Shi Qingluo looked at the Third Prince and said, "Shall we wait a moment?"

She would not feel at ease to leave and return to Heyang County until she found out the truth from the interrogation.

The Third Prince smiled politely and nodded, "Okay!"

Then, under Shi Qingluo's instructions, Qingqing moved the tea set out from the carriage, and the few of them sat in the woods drinking tea and chatting.

Xiao's mother and Xiao's younger sister are very brave now. They were not scared when the Ge people appeared just now.

The Third Prince drank a few cups of tea and said to Shi Qingluo with a smile: "The princess is very skilled in martial arts."

Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "It's okay."

The Third Prince got to the point. "Why are you here? Didn't you say before that you were helping my uncle in that town?"

Shi Qingluo replied: "The prince asked us to go back to Heyang County first and come back later."

The Third Prince also guessed what Uncle Wang was planning, "It seems that I have disturbed your trip, I'm so sorry!"

Shi Qingluo said nonchalantly: "It's okay. We can't just ignore it when it happens."

The Third Prince looked at Shi Qingluo and sighed inwardly when he saw that she was calm, composed and confident.

Because of the incident with his former prince's wife, he had a complicated impression of Shi Qingluo.

Although he did not help Fu Wenzheng at the beginning, he did not interfere either, which can be regarded as inaction.

After all, he didn't know the truth at that time. Even if he didn't agree with Fu Wenzheng's approach, he couldn't bear to do anything to her.

But he didn't expect that Shi Qingluo would save him today regardless of the past grudges.

Shi Qingluo naturally felt the complicated look the Third Prince gave him.

She lowered her head to drink tea and pretended not to see it.

She neither liked nor disliked the Third Prince. He was just a stranger after all.

The Third Prince did not interfere in Fu Wenzheng's previous affairs, so they could not be considered enemies.

Just now, she also discovered that there was something wrong with the confidant behind the third prince. He actually exchanged glances and gestures with someone from the Ge Kingdom.

She immediately became alert and kept aiming her arrow at the man.

Sure enough, when they found that the man was attacking the third prince, they immediately took action to rescue him.

No matter what hatred there is between her and Fu Wenzheng, the Third Prince cannot die here.

Of course, if the Third Prince really wanted to repay the favor of saving his life, she would not stop him.

At this moment, the man in black came back quickly.

His face didn't look good, "Princess, I'm afraid we can't go to Heyang County anymore."

Shi Qingluo asked: "Why?"

The man in black replied, "The Ge people have set up an ambush near Heyang County and want to capture you alive."

"Not long ago, the royal family of the Ge Kingdom issued an order that whoever can capture you alive will be directly granted a title of nobility."

Shi Qingluo couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "It seems that I am quite valuable in Ge Country."

The man in black smiled and said, "That's right, Princess, you are a golden child now, and your worth is very high."

Shi Qingluo asked with a smile: "Have you interrogated them to find out why they wanted to kill the Third Prince?"

The man in black replied, "The confidant next to the Third Prince is a remnant of the previous dynasty, a spy placed next to him."

"Through that person, the people of Ge learned that the Third Prince and the prince were going to set up a military defense line against the Ge Kingdom."

"The Third Prince is ostensibly going to the town to see the canning workshop, but in reality he is going to meet up with the prince to do this."

He glanced at the Third Prince, thought for a moment and then said truthfully: "They want to kill the Third Prince, not only because they are afraid that he will join forces with the prince to cause trouble, but also because he has an important border defense map."

"Their previous plan was to drive the Third Prince out of town and then lure the master to rescue him."

"When the master shows up, the traitors around the Third Prince will kill the Third Prince, disrupt the morale of the Prince's army, and then take the opportunity to kill the Prince as well, or capture him alive."

"Finally, we will capture the people who made the cans and bring them back to serve the Ge Kingdom."

Those people were very stubborn, but they had been specially trained, so they got all the truth out of them.

The Third Prince's expression was somewhat grim. "I didn't expect that person to be a remnant of the previous dynasty."

That person had been following him before he was valued by his father, and had been lurking for quite some time.

I gained his trust step by step.

He thought it might be Prince Jin's man, but he didn't expect it to be from the previous dynasty.

This shows that the previous dynasty had buried quite a few nails in the beams.

I have to write a letter and tell my father about this matter as soon as possible.

He asked the man in black, "Does that mean they found out that Commander Fubao was going back to Heyang County, and set up an ambush. Is it just a coincidence that they suddenly met him today?"

The man in black nodded. "There are spies from the Ge Kingdom and the previous dynasty in that town. They received the news of the princess's departure immediately."

"It was indeed a coincidence that we met. Their original mission was to kill you. Killing or capturing the prince and capturing the county lady were elite troops sent separately."

The Third Prince frowned and said to Shi Qingluo, "It looks like you guys can only return with me."

Since they knew there were many ambushes on the road ahead, they could no longer let Shi Qingluo and the others take risks.

Shi Qingluo nodded helplessly, "This is the only way."

So they got in the carriage and turned back to the town.

Shi Qingluo also wrote a note, briefly describing the situation here, and blew a few whistles. A carrier pigeon flew into her half-open car window.

She tied the note to a carrier pigeon, said a few words to it, and released it.

The carrier pigeon flew quickly towards Heyang County.

This time there was no delay. We rode at full speed and returned to the town in the evening.

Liang Yulin received the news first and rushed over with his men.

Only when I saw that Xiao's mother and the others were fine did I feel truly relieved.

"As long as everyone is okay, I'm glad."

His eyes turned cold, "I will remember those people from the previous dynasty and Ge Country."

If you dare to plot against his daughter-in-law, just wait for him.

If they had not happened to meet the third brother, his wife, daughter-in-law, and eldest daughter would have probably fallen into the trap set by the Ge people and been in danger.

The thought that something might happen to them made him feel angry, and it was even more difficult for him to explain to his eldest son.

The third prince saw the look in his uncle's eyes and knew that he was angry.

He felt a little touched and thought that the emperor's uncle was angry because he was attacked.

If King Yi knew what he was thinking, he would just say go away and play, who is wrong about you, you are overthinking! (End of this chapter)
