"Your Highness, no one was found."
"Your Highness, there's nothing in the east of the city..."
Groups of people shuttled through the streets, but all returned empty-handed.
Some people secretly looked out through the window cracks.
"What are they looking for?"
"I heard someone was plotting a rebellion. Are they trying to catch the rebels?"
"It's so scary! When will this end..."
Mo Qin was riding a horse, holding the reins in his hand, and the horse stamped its hooves impatiently.
"Keep searching! Search carefully!"
"yes!"
Qin Jue was puzzled. "Your Highness, where could these four princesses go?"
It was almost dark, and their people had searched almost the entire capital, but still couldn't find the person.
Can a person just disappear out of thin air?
Considering the series of troubles caused by the Fourth Princess faking her own death, no one would think that the Fourth Princess was just lost.
Even if another body is found, we still cannot feel at ease.
Mo Qin “…”
If she knew, she would have caught it and would have rummaged around here...
"Take your people back to the mansion and take a look."
Go back home?
Qin Jue didn't understand, but still obeyed, "Yes!"
-
The Princess's Mansion was still filled with a faint smell of blood.
There were servants coming and going outside, some moving corpses, some cleaning up bloodstains.
Jiang Yanning sat in the clean room, looking outside with a frown.
"Brother Jiang, why hasn't His Highness come back yet?"
Song Yiqing sat on the chair, looking here and there with frightened eyes.
Jiang Yanning didn't want to bother with Song Yiqing.
After all, this person is still his love rival, right?
Although there is no sense of existence.
"Brother Jiang, do you think His Highness will..."
Song Yiqing didn't care that Jiang Yanning ignored him, he started talking again.
Jiang Yanning frowned when he heard this, "Shut up!"
If you can't speak, don't speak. No one will think you are dumb!
Song Yiqing found this place on his own.
He said he was afraid of being alone, so he wanted to stay in the same room with Jiang Yanning.
After all, there is no place in the Princess's Mansion that is safer than being with Jiang Yanning.
Thinking back to just now, Qin Fu had been bringing people to guard Jiang Yanning, as if the lives of other people in the Princess's Mansion were not important except Jiang Yanning.
"I am just... the princess? To atone for my sins, I am the one who speaks without restraint."
Song Yiqing shrank back, as if someone had bullied him. In fact, his head was hiding a pair of resentful eyes.
After sitting for a while, it gradually began to darken.
All the corpses in the mansion were taken away, and even a lot of the blood outside the yard was washed away.
The lights came on and the noise of cleaning gradually faded away.
Song Yiqing stood up and looked up, but could only see two guards guarding the gate of the yard.
At some point, he wandered over to Jiang Yanning.
"My Lady, I really envy you."
Jiang Yaning didn't know what he was thinking. He was shocked by Song Yiqing's disgusting words.
A bad feeling arose in my heart.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
While staying in the Princess's Mansion, Song Yiqing was not favored or visited by the Princess, but she never treated him harshly in any other way.
No need to work, no need to think about calculations all day long. This is not a bad treatment in this era.
And if Song Yiqing wants to leave the Princess's Mansion, it's not impossible.
Song Yiqing smiled. He was not bad looking, he was even very handsome.
"Jiang Yanning, I really hate you. How can you easily win the favor of Her Royal Highness the Princess?"
"you……"
Song Yiqing suddenly took out a hairpin from his sleeve and stabbed it towards Jiang Yanning.
Jiang Yanning was startled and dodged, but was still scratched by the hairpin.
He grabbed Song Yiqing's arm and easily subdued him.
The guards standing outside heard the noise and rushed inside, but before they could even step into the house, they were stabbed by someone who appeared out of nowhere.
Jiang Yanning's pupils shrank slightly, and he started shouting for help without thinking.
Those people were obviously very scared and rushed towards Jiang Yanning with knives in hand.
Jiang Yanning pushed Song Yiqing out, turned around and ran inside while shouting.
His martial arts skills were not very good to begin with, and now that he had no weapons, he was already at a disadvantage.
Unexpectedly, before he had run two steps, Jiang Yanning's legs went weak and he felt weak.
There is poison on the hairpin!
The thought flashed through my mind.
In just a moment, those people rushed up.
-
"Your Highness! The Fourth Princess has been found!"
The moon rose slowly, and the capital city, where the fugitives had not yet been caught, was brightly lit.
Someone came rushing over shouting.
Mo Qin looked at the direction the man came from and frowned slightly.
"Where are they?"
"Your Highness, the Fourth Princess... the Fourth Princess has kidnapped the Crown Princess. She's at... at the West City Gate."
They were looking for someone at the time, but they didn't expect that those people would show up directly, take the princess hostage, and demand that they open the city gate.
But she is a princess?
They can't afford any mishap.
…
"If you don't open the city gate, I will kill him!"
Mo Yang put the knife on Jiang Yaning's neck. She hid behind Jiang Yaning, and her men surrounded Mo Yang and Jiang Yaning.
The soldiers guarding the city gate were very frightened.
what to do??
I heard that Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess doted on this princess very much. What if Mo Yang really killed her?
Even if the rebel is caught, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess will not let her go.
While she was still thinking, she saw the tool on Jiang Yanning's neck being pressed down hard.
With her excellent eyesight, she saw a line of blood flowing down from the incision.
It was particularly striking on the princess's fragile neck.
"Open the city gate!"
What can the generals do? Of course they can only compromise.
"Open the city gates!"
The people next to the general tried to stop him, "No! This is..."
"Princess? If something goes wrong, can you afford it?!"
“…”
Her Royal Highness is the future emperor. If they don't open the city gates, the princess? No...
Even if they are not convicted for the time being, they will definitely not have an easy time in the future.
After all, nothing can be better than a dead person!
The city gate was opened by everyone working together, making a dull and harsh sound.
Mo Yang laughed and let out a disgusting breath.
"It seems you are still of some use."
Jiang Yanning's eyes were gloomy. He wanted to hide to the side in disgust, but he was held tightly.
As soon as the group left the city gate, someone caught up with them.
Someone said in horror
"It's the princess!"
Mo Yang was startled, then smiled again.
"I didn't expect that you are quite important to her."
Jiang Yanning remained silent, not knowing whether he had no strength or did not want to talk.
Mo Yang's people had been running back and forth for a whole day and were already exhausted. The only reason they could still hold on was purely out of their desire to survive.
The people chasing them from behind were far ahead of them and were in much better condition than them.
