Chapter 98 Who is instigating
"Your Highness, I'll go and take a look. I think the maid is hiding and slacking off." The servant who led the way took two steps forward.
Fu Cheng had already recognized the clothes Cheng Nianying was wearing from a distance.
He interrupted: "It's my brother's wife."
The servant couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead. If he rushed up and scolded him without any reason, it would be fatal.
"Why is the Princess of the County arguing with a maid here?" Prince Rui's voice rang out.
King Liang said, "Of course there are slaves who bully their masters."
By the time he finished speaking, he had already walked out.
Qin Yurong saw them first and was immediately anxious. She didn't know why she was anxious, but it seemed as if her sister was the one who did the bad thing...
"Someone is approaching." Zizhu heard the voice and breathed a sigh of relief.
"I heard it." Cheng Nianying's hand was still on her neck. "You should know what to say later, right?"
Zizhu held her breath and said, "I know."
The footsteps were getting closer.
Zizhu asked anxiously, "Why don't you let go?"
When the footsteps stopped, Fu Chengxian asked, "What happened?"
Cheng Nianying just turned around slowly.
Zizhu felt a sudden relief around her neck, and the dangerous aura dissipated completely. She couldn't help but curse inwardly, "This traitor is so cautious!"
"I thought this girl was acting suspiciously, so I came out to take a look." Cheng Nianying said innocently.
Zizhu turned around, and the girl in pink came into view. She gasped... How could this traitor be the Princess of a County?
"Looks suspicious?" King Liang stepped forward and ordered Zizhu in a cold voice, "Raise your head."
Zizhu had no choice but to look up as she was told.
Prince Rui studied her for a moment and said, "Brother, I don't think she's suspicious..."
Zizhu also knelt down quickly, tears streaming down her face as she said, "I simply accidentally spilled some tea, soaking Princess Kang's dress. I was just about to get new clothes, so how could I be acting suspiciously? I'm innocent."
She wasn't very good at killing, but she was always good at seducing men.
As she cried, her eyes couldn't help but move.
Fu Cheng frowned for a moment, and King Liang snorted coldly.
Obviously, they are two unromantic people.
Zizhu had no choice but to go see Prince Rui again. Yes, this guy actually spoke for her...
Qin Yurong followed at this time. She looked at the others cautiously, wondering why they didn't just say it was an assassin? Was they afraid that others wouldn't believe it?
She raised her eyes to look at Cheng Nianying.
It was still as calm as water, without a trace of panic.
King Liang said, "Since there is nothing wrong, you can go now."
Zizhu breathed a sigh of relief, climbed up, and tried to move her wrist. Hiss, no, she couldn't exert any strength at all. She gritted her teeth secretly and could only leave first.
Just when she took a few steps out.
King Liang suddenly drew out the scimitar that was hanging from his waist. The scimitar rubbed against the scabbard, making a clanging sound.
Immediately afterwards, the knife blew quickly and swept towards Zizhu's neck.
Zizhu instinctively rolled on the ground.
Oh no! It's a test!
King Liang turned around and said to Cheng Nianying, "You are right. This man is indeed suspicious."
Then he chased after him with a knife in hand, with great momentum.
Zizhu had just gotten up when she stumbled again in an attempt to avoid King Liang.
She was so angry that she yelled, "Princess! If you don't save me, I will tell you your secret!"
Qin Yurong broke out in a cold sweat.
At that time, King Liang also asked: "Secret? What secret?"
Cheng Nianying thought to herself what a pity.
I originally wanted to ask her who ordered the assassination of the Princess, why she came to the Imperial Capital, and why she was sent?
Cheng Nianying's hand hidden under her sleeve moved slightly.
But King Liang was determined to stand in front of Zizhu and picked her up like a chicken.
Zizhu soon realized that threatening this "County Princess" was futile. Since she was a killer like herself, she could also kill her silently.
Zizhu quickly changed her words: "Don't you want to know who sent me to assassinate you?"
Prince Liang sneered: "Is this her secret?"
Zizhu trembled and said, "Yes."
Prince Liang was different from his father Li Jinjiang. Li Jinjiang was just a playboy, while his father was a Confucian scholar.
King Liang is soaked in the blood of the battlefield and has no understanding of romance. How can Zizhu not be afraid?
Cheng Nianying put her fingertips away, took a step forward and said crisply, "Please, Your Highness Prince Liang, spare her life."
"Yeah." King Liang relaxed and threw the man to the ground.
Zizhu was finally tied up.
Fu Cheng and Prince Rui were unable to get a word in during the entire process. They just looked at Cheng Nianying twice with different expressions in a very subtle way.
…She was so calm.
She was so calm that it gave people a feeling that under that gorgeous pink shirt, what was wrapped up was not a bunch of flowers, but a ferocious sword.
This thought flashed through Fu Cheng's mind quickly.

Soon, Zizhu was brought to an independent small courtyard.
"This matter is of great importance. We should invite the governor of Beijing to come and assist in the investigation." Fu Cheng said.
"This is not the first time that the Princess has been attacked, right?" Prince Liang looked at Cheng Nianying.
Cheng Nianying responded softly with "hmm".
"What did you find out last time? Nothing. It shows that they are all a bunch of good-for-nothings!" King Liang snorted coldly.
Prince Rui then interjected, "Even if that's the case, we should first notify Prince Danshuo and let him preside over the interrogation."
King Liang frowned and said to him, "If you don't want to get involved in this matter, just leave first."
Prince Rui sighed: "Ah, what you said, brother..."
King Liang also realized that his tone was hurtful, so he lowered his voice and said, "I have no other intentions."
Prince Rui looked at Zizhu and said, "Let's interrogate her first. If you can find out something, Prince Danshuo will be very grateful to you."
King Liang said sullenly, "That's not necessary."
As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something and turned to tell his servants, "Go and bring a chair for the Princess."
The servants went there quickly.
"Speak." King Liang touched the hilt of the knife and asked Zizhu.
It was naturally a good thing to have someone interrogate him on his behalf. Cheng Nianying blinked slowly and sat down first.
"If I tell you, can you spare my life? I'm just a small follower, just following orders." Zizhu started to cry.
"Although I was following orders, I don't know how much blood was stained."
When Cheng Nianying heard this, her eyes moved slightly.
"This is my first time, otherwise how could I be caught by you so easily?" Zizhu covered her face.
King Liang was impatient: "Tell me quickly! Maybe you can still survive!"
Zizhu looked around and hunched her shoulders. "I'm afraid you gentlemen won't believe me even if I tell you..."
Liang Wang approached her.
Zizhu shouted, "It's the Prince!"
Prince Liang paused abruptly. "There are three princes in the imperial capital, both famous and unknown. I don't know what you are talking about..."
"Besides Prince Danshuo, who else is there?"
