The female lead looked completely innocent when the prince's men attacked her.
"We've always heard that His Highness the Crown Prince is just, wise, and kind. We haven't done anything wrong, so why are we being treated like this?"
The crown prince's face was extremely grim.
"You are suspected of assaulting this Crown Prince. Whether you have done so or not, we can find out by arresting you and interrogating you thoroughly."
"Your Highness, interrogation is permissible now."
"After all, we have no way to escape."
The crown prince's eyes turned cold as he looked at Mu Wanting.
"Fine, I'll ask you, was it a hidden weapon you shot?"
Mu Wanting shook her head: "I don't know, we don't even know what happened."
The crown prince observed her expression for a long time before realizing that she was not lying.
The crown prince then searched the surrounding area but found nothing suspicious before leaving with his men.
But before leaving, his gaze involuntarily drifted towards Mu Wanting.
Mu Wanting felt that the look was extremely dangerous; she had a gut feeling that something was about to happen.
As expected, a group of assassins arrived that night, their target being the third branch of the family, with Shen Xinglan and Mu Wanting being the first to be targeted.
Moreover, the skills of this group of assassins are all top-notch.
They didn't seem to have the skills of people from the martial arts world, and they all acted as if they were risking their lives, showing exceptionally high levels of discipline.
Mu Wanting knew that these people all had some deadly tricks up their sleeves, so she didn't dare let them get close. She took out her gun and fired at them.
One by one, the assassins died tragically. Shen Xinglan captured a few, and those assassins immediately tried to commit suicide by poison, but Mu Wanting gave them an anesthetic injection, which stopped them from doing so.
She removed the poison from the mouths of the assassins and then began to torture them severely.
At first, those people made baseless accusations against the Sixth Prince, but later, unable to bear it any longer, they finally admitted that he was the Crown Prince.
Mu Wanting was speechless. It seemed that the poor sixth prince was a thorn in the side of many princes.
Now that we know it's the Crown Prince and have found out his whereabouts, things will be much easier.
Mu Wanting sneaked to the Crown Prince's side overnight. The Crown Prince and Mu Wanting fought. In the confusion, the Crown Prince sprinkled her with drug powder. At first, she did not pay any attention. She hastily ate an antidote pill and then continued to fight the Crown Prince as usual.
The moment the Crown Prince uttered the words "there are assassins," Mu Wanting injected him with anesthesia, knocked him unconscious, and threw him into her spatial storage.
Immediately afterwards, Mu Wanting also teleported to a safe area and entered the space.
Jiao Dai is currently awake and in great pain, writhing and crawling toward the Crown Prince.
She kept calling the Crown Prince softly, but he did not wake up.
Immediately afterwards, Mu Wanting stepped into the bamboo house, picked up a bucket of water, and splashed it at the Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince's expression was extremely unpleasant when he saw Mu Wanting.
"How dare you! I am the Crown Prince! How can you treat me like this? If my father finds out, he will surely exterminate your entire family!"
Mu Wanting said calmly, "Your Highness, it seems you have no understanding of your current situation."
The prince was a little stunned. He looked around and realized he was in a bamboo hut and couldn't see anything else.
The most terrifying thing was the people in front of him: Mu Qingfeng and Mu Yunxiao. He had turned each of them into living dead, but these two were now standing there with perfectly clear-headed expressions.
His scalp tingled, and he opened his mouth to look at Mu Wanting.
Mu Wanting said, "Your Highness, do you remember what you did to my brothers? And where did you hide my mother?"
In the last sentence, Mu Wanting was obviously bluffing the crown prince.
A cold glint flashed in the prince's eyes, and he quickly answered only the first question.
They are all citizens of our Great Xia. What I do to them is perfectly normal, isn't it?
Mu Wanting scoffed: "Then what do you mean by having my second brother mingle with the Xiongnu?"
The Crown Prince is indeed worthy of his title; he does have some acting skills.
"Your brother actually colluded with the Xiongnu?"
Mu Wanting immediately slapped the Crown Prince across the face.
"Stop playing dumb with me. Jiao Dai is your person. She put my second brother with the puppet curse. Wasn't it you who ordered my second brother to infiltrate the Xiongnu tribe? What, what do you want to do to our Mu family? Why do you look so aggrieved?"
As soon as Mu Wanting uttered these words, she saw a flash of malice in the Crown Prince's eyes.
"How dare you hit me?"
Mu Wanting laughed in anger: "You still have the nerve to call yourself 'I'? You've really gone too far."
Mu Yunxiao was filled with rage at the thought of being manipulated by the Crown Prince, and immediately began to interrogate the Crown Prince by torture.
Compared to others, Mu Yunxiao hated the Crown Prince more. He also wanted to know if the Crown Prince knew his mother's whereabouts, as they still really wanted to find her.
Mu Yunxiao struck very hard, and the Crown Prince was soon beaten until he screamed in agony. He then said that their mother was still alive.
No matter how much they whipped him after that, he didn't say anything.
The three siblings were quite happy.
"Great, this is the best outcome for us."
Mu Wanting was naturally happier than anyone else, and her face was always beaming with smiles.
"Seize the opportunity to interrogate them again and see if you can make some empty promises."
Mu Wanting never expected that Jiao Dai would eventually conspire with the Crown Prince to escape.
If Mu Yunxiao hadn't caught them, the appearance of the space would have been revealed to them.
Mu Wanting separated the two. Jiao Dai, finally exhausted from the torment, looked at the female lead with a mocking expression and said that the female lead had been poisoned.
The female protagonist just found it funny; she didn't realize she was poisoned.
As Mu Wanting left, she saw Jiao Dai's wicked smile.
Mu Qingfeng said, "Jiao Dai said strange things all day long, and last night she couldn't bear the torment and committed suicide."
"She's inside the space, so we can't let her out, otherwise our secret will be exposed."
Afterwards, the Crown Prince learned that Jiao Dai was dead, and out of fear, he confessed everything.
It turns out that Xia Chan disappeared in the Northwest and has fallen into a coma, but no one knows exactly where she is. The Crown Prince said that someone took Jiao Dai away.
Fearing that something might be missed, Mu Wanting injected the Crown Prince with the truth serum again.
However, the Crown Prince recounted everything that had happened since he could remember, not only making sure his two older brothers listened, but also using a tape recorder.
Finally, it was learned that the Shen family's exile was not only the Emperor's doing, but the Crown Prince was also not innocent.
Mu Yunxiao grew angrier the more he listened. Was this still the crown prince of a country? How could he do something like betraying his country for personal gain?
What good would that do him?
“I want to kill him. A person like that, once he becomes the crown prince, will only be more disgusting than Emperor Lishun.”
Seeing that she couldn't squeeze anything out of her, Mu Wanting nodded.
Soon, the bodies of the Crown Prince and Jiao Dai were sunk into the lake together, and Mu Wanting then used her mind to clear the space.
