Chapter 181 Deputy Envoy Lin Disappears
Xie Shouzheng asked, "Deputy Envoy Lin, do you suspect that Prince Jin is involved in this case?"
Lin Qingyue said, "Regardless of whether Dongfang Yan is related to the Flying Corpse Silkworm case, nothing good can happen when he and Lin Ruzhen get together. Da Mi, please continue."
Da Mi nodded and continued reporting, "Princess Lingxue returned to the Honglu Temple in a sullen mood. Later, her brother summoned her for a talk. She returned to her room still in a sullen mood, smashing a set of porcelain and causing my intelligence officer to accidentally scratch his foreleg..."
Because the intelligence officer was injured and fled in a hurry, there was no further record of what happened afterwards.
Lin Qingyue instructed Da Mi, "Send more intelligence agents to closely monitor the situation. Also, expand the scope of surveillance. All Feng people in the capital must be closely monitored."
After explaining these things, Xie Shouzheng will take care of the rest.
Lin Qingyue estimated that the time was almost up, so she prepared to meet up with Dongfang Qi and go directly to investigate Prince Ling Zhen's background to see if there was anything wrong with him.
As soon as I came out of the Xuanjingsi Yamen, I met Dongfang Yan head-on.
Dongfang Yan jumped out of the carriage and said, "I was just about to go in to look for you, but I didn't expect you to come out. Do you want to chat sometime? I specially prepared a carriage for you."
"No time."
"Lin Ruzhen came back last night, and she talked a lot with me. Don't you want to know what she said?"
"What did she say?"
Seeing that she was interested, Dongfang Yan kept her in suspense:
"Qingyue, it's been a while since we've had a good chat. Today is a beautiful day with bright sunshine. Why don't you come back to Prince Jin's Mansion with me to reminisce about the past? And by the way, meet your dear sister."
Lin Qingyue glanced at him and sneered, "Don't be so shameless. If I want to know, I don't have to get it from you. If you don't want to tell me, get out!"
As she was about to leave, Dongfang Yan shamelessly said from behind, "Where are you going in such a hurry? Are you going to meet the Crown Prince in secret? Even if you and I haven't consummated our marriage, you are already a second-married woman. In the eyes of the world, you are a fallen woman, unworthy of the position of Crown Princess. So..."
Before he could finish his words, Dongfang Yan was kicked hard and flew away, falling heavily to the ground. He curled up in pain and couldn't make a sound for a long time.
Lin Qingyue said coldly, "Dongfang Yan, I didn't want to argue with you too much, but you insist on seeking death again and again, so I can only..."
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly felt dizzy and glared at Dongfang Yan: "What did you do..."
Then his body swayed and he fell down softly.
Dongfang Yan slowly got up from the ground, a sinister look on his face.
Last night, Lin Ruzhen told him that as long as he could find a way to capture Lin Qingyue and drain the dirty blood from her body, he would be able to force the evil spirit that possessed her to appear.
Once the evil ghost loses the protection of the physical body, its soul will be reduced to ashes in the sunlight.
Dongfang Yan fell silent after hearing this.
How could someone like Lin Qingyue be caught so easily?
Back in Yixian Gorge, Dongfang Yan, accompanied by a dozen top-tier guards, hadn't been able to stop her. Even he himself had always suffered losses when facing Lin Qingyue.
Not to mention capturing the person and draining his blood, I'm afraid that the one who would be drained would be Dongfang Yan.
Lin Ruzhen said to Dongfang Yan, "The master gave me a special medicinal powder. This powder is colorless and odorless, and it is harmless to ordinary people. However, if it comes into contact with demons and evil spirits, they will become weak and lose their ability to resist."
Dongfang Yan thought about it over and over again, and all the new and old grudges and humiliations from the past came to his mind.
So early this morning, he came to see Lin Qingyue in person.
He also knew that with Lin Qingyue's means and abilities, it would be difficult to drug her.
After some thought, he finally sprinkled the powder on his robe.
After seeing Lin Qingyue, he deliberately said things that would anger her. As long as she made a move, the powder on Dongfang Yan's body would definitely be contaminated by Lin Qingyue.
Sure enough, everything was just as Dongfang Yan expected.
After lifting Lin Qingyue onto the carriage, Dongfang Yan also jumped into the carriage and drove away quickly.
Almost at the moment the carriage left, a mouse rushed into the Xuanjing Division, squeaking.
Da Mi was talking to Xie Shouzheng when suddenly a mouse climbed onto his body and squeaked twice.
Da Mi was shocked. "What did you say? Deputy Envoy Lin was kidnapped? Was it... the Prince of Jin?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Shouzheng grabbed the Bloodthorn Whip and ordered as he walked, "Hongyao, run fast and inform His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The rest of you, follow me to the Prince of Jin's Mansion to rescue Deputy Envoy Lin. Damn it! How dare you kidnap someone from the Xuanjing Division in broad daylight? You're tired of living!"
Dongfang Qi and Lin Qingyue agreed yesterday that they would meet on the long street outside the gate of Honglu Temple after the morning court session to meet Prince Ling Zhen together.
At that time, Dongfang will find a reason to dismiss everyone around both sides.
Lin Qingyue can then quietly perform the dream-tracing technique to quickly explore Ling Zhen's memory.
If there is no problem, then waking him up without leaving any trace can also avoid causing diplomatic problems between the two countries.
However, Dongfang Qi waited near the Honglu Temple for a long time, but still did not see Lin Qingyue.
He couldn't help but wonder, "Strange, Yueyue is usually very punctual, why is she late today? Could it be that something happened at the Xuanjing Division and she can't get away?"
At this moment, a red shadow flashed by quickly, startling the guards around the prince.
Hong Yao appeared before the prince and said anxiously:
"Oh no! Deputy Envoy Lin has been captured by the Prince of Jin! Lord Xie has already taken people to the Prince of Jin's mansion, and just in case, he ordered me to report to His Highness."
"What?" Dongfang Qi was shocked and jumped on his horse to go to Prince Jin's Mansion.
Hong Yao was about to follow, but suddenly she noticed something and turned back to look in the direction of the Honglu Temple.
…
Dongfang Qi was worried about Lin Qingyue, so he rode his horse at full speed. After passing several intersections, a group of people suddenly rushed out from the side.
Dongfang Qi quickly stopped his horse and avoided hitting anyone.
Looking closely, he found that the person coming was Xie Shouzheng.
"Xiao Hui, didn't Hong Yao say you went to Prince Jin's Mansion? Did you find Deputy Envoy Lin?"
"Ah, Your Highness, I'm glad to see you! I went to the Prince of Jin's mansion, but that bastard Prince of Jin never returned! I left two brothers guarding outside the mansion and prepared to search elsewhere."
"Dongfang Yan didn't return to the palace?"
"They were probably afraid we'd come to their rescue, so they simply didn't go back! Oh, I don't know where Deputy Envoy Lin was taken. It's so frustrating!"
The matter of the flying corpse silkworm has not been sorted out yet, and Lin Qingyue has disappeared again - Xie Shouzheng is scratching his head anxiously.
Dongfang Qi was extremely anxious, and even his hands holding the reins were shaking.
But now, he knew that he couldn't panic or lose his composure! Otherwise, how could he save people?
