Chapter 42 Cause and Effect

Si Linglong was a little surprised to see Helian Yue, as she hadn't even called for help yet.

[How did the dog emperor know that I was here to help him catch the real murderer? ]

Then, a furry head slowly squeezed in from Helian Yue's feet, and it was His Highness Xue Sha who was a little out of breath.

Yuefu Palace is not very close to Linghua Palace, and this is far beyond the normal amount of exercise for this young prince.

At this time, Helian Yue looked at the situation in the house with a gloomy face.

When Xue Sha suddenly found him and insisted on dragging him out, he thought Si Linglong had bullied the child again and came to complain.

As a result, Xue Sha led him out of Linghua Palace. He wondered if Si Linglong had caused some trouble again that he needed to deal with.

After being led all the way to Yuefu Palace by Xuesha and then into this back chamber, and hearing Si Linglong's heartbeat when she entered the room, Helian Yue realized that things were far more unexpected than he had thought.

Si Linglong actually found out the mastermind behind this for him!

Helian Yue's eyes like cold arrows swept towards Li Shurong who was in the room with a frightened face, and Qi Guiren who was looking at him with red eyes, and he immediately confirmed it.

It's her.

"Are you the mastermind behind the assassination at the family banquet that day?" Helian Yue's voice was cold and full of intimidation.

Si Linglong was a little surprised.

[The dog emperor actually knew all this? 】

Li Shurong was even more surprised.

What assassination? Who is behind it?

She subconsciously looked at Qi Guiren, her eyes almost popping out of her head in shock.

Qi Guiren assassination? !

That cowardly Mr. Qi? !

How is that possible?!

Qi Guiren glared at Helian Yue and gritted his teeth.

Originally, before this, she had thought about making up a lie to get away with it, but when she saw this dog emperor, she knew that she could no longer pretend.

She hates him!

Si Linglong was startled when she saw the reddened corners of Qi Guiren's eyes and the hatred that could not be concealed in them. The next second, she saw Qi Guiren suddenly turn his head and look at her.

Si Linglong's eyes trembled, and she had a bad feeling.

[It's over! This guy is targeting me! ]

Thinking of this possibility, Si Linglong moved her feet and was about to rush towards Helian Yue at the door. Helian Yue also reacted and hurried forward, but the distance was too far, and his movements were ultimately one step slower than Qi Guiren in the house.

The originally delicate Qi Guiren suddenly took action. When Si Linglong tried to rush past her, she grabbed her hair. With her other hand, she pulled out the hairpin in her hair and pressed it directly against Si Linglong's fragile neck.

"Don't come over here!"

Qi Guiren's voice was a little sad. Helian Yue's face suddenly darkened. He looked at her sharp hairpin that almost pierced Si Linglong's neck. Her voice was like a cold bell, sharp and chilling.

"How dare you hurt her!"

Qi Guiren looked at the dangerous gleam in Helian Yue's eyes, but smiled, "So the emperor, who is so high and mighty, actually cares about a life? Now that it has been discovered, I am not afraid to tell you that I arranged for the dancer who assassinated you at the banquet, and I also smeared the poison on the sword with my own hands, but why, why didn't this kill you!"

Si Linglong was unable to break free as her hair was being pulled. She even felt as if a few strands of hair had been torn off. Her face was in pain, but she still managed to remain calm.

"Mr. Qi, you are the daughter of a wealthy family from the Hanlin Academy. When you act like this, have you ever thought about the lives of your family members?"

Qi Guiren tightened his grip slightly and sneered, "I never cared about being born in the Hanlin Academy! What does the life of that family have to do with me? They never considered me a relative. In this world, only Sister Chuhe is my only relative. But such a good sister Chuhe... was killed by this dog emperor!"

Helian Yue's brows furrowed when he heard this mournful accusation.

Si Linglong was even more incredulous and looked at Helian Yue in front of her.

[You dog emperor, you actually killed someone's sister! You deserve to be retaliated against.]
