It's just one assassin. Even if we search house to house, we should be able to catch him in a few days.
But so many days have passed and there is still no news.
Bai Zhirou guessed that she knew some of the truth, but she kept it to herself.
In the room, Princess Rong whispered to Xia Mingyang that she was pretending to obey her but actually disobeying her and daring not to do what she said. She was so angry that she felt dizzy.
She felt that her son was disobedient.
Xia Yuning was not in the room at that time, so Xia Mingyang spoke his true feelings.
"Mother, after so many times, when has Sister Yuning's words ever been correct?"
"Do you still believe her words? Yifeng failed to kill the assassin and was almost injured. Don't you care about this at all?"
Xia Mingyang talked about Xia Yifeng, and he clearly saw that the expression on Princess Rong's face froze for a moment.
He pressed on, "Mother, Bai Zhirou is still alive! What does this mean?"
"What?" Princess Rong was immersed in his words, going over everything that had happened in the past few days in her mind, and she felt a little depressed in her heart.
"That means everything she said was completely false. She was full of lies and even thought Bai Zhirou should have died when she first arrived in the capital. But look at her. Not only did she not die, she even became the Princess of Mingzhu!"
Doesn’t this mean that Xia Yuning’s prediction has failed?
Xia Mingyang lowered his voice, "My son suspects that Sister Yuning has hysteria."
Princess Rong was startled by his words and looked at him with confusion.
After thinking about it carefully, Princess Rong felt that what Xia Mingyang said made sense.
Ever since Yu Ning woke up from a high fever, she has been mumbling, saying that she dreamed that Zhirou offended someone and was stabbed to death.
As a result, the girl actually helped the emperor and the empress dowager, and won the favor of the empress dowager and rose to prominence from then on!
If she were a man, she would be crowned a king and become a prime minister in the future!
He also said that he dreamed that the crown prince was deposed and that the third prince ascended to that position.
But now it seems that the prince is kind-hearted and always takes the lead in everything. He has also uncovered the case of corruption in the embezzlement department of the dam. How can he look like he will be deposed?
Princess Rong was terrified when she thought about it, and her face turned even paler.
"Mother, please think about it carefully. Yu Ning... I still think it would be better to find someone to take a look at her." Xia Mingyang left the room after saying this.
That night, the news of the prince being assassinated on his way out of the dinner reached the prefect's ears. He paced around for half an hour in confusion and couldn't figure out when he had ordered the assassination.
Could it be that the stupid county magistrate did it?
That's impossible. Given his cowardly nature, it's okay to ask him to kill a chicken, but if he kills a person, especially the prince, he's afraid he'll die first.
After thinking about it, he still didn't know who did it.
It was not until he discovered that his cellar had been robbed and everything inside was lost that he realized he had fallen into the prince's trap!
The lost items included all the bribery records since he took office!
If the emperor knew about this, he would be dead!
But the situation is already over!
He stood alone in the empty cellar, thinking for a long time.
After leaving the cellar, he immediately ordered the housekeeper and his wife to pack up their gold and silver and run away, and to throw away all the unimportant things.
"Where is Magistrate Yin going?" A familiar voice, like a death warrant, reached the ears of everyone in the Yin Mansion.
Then a group of armored guards rushed into the yard with swords in hand and surrounded everyone.
Prefect Yin's face turned pale, his hands trembled, and the large gold ingot that he had forgotten to put away fell to the ground with a dull sound.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the glittering gold under their eyes. Now they had caught the criminal red-handed.
Bai Zhirou stared at the piece of gold on the ground with her eyes wide open!
How much of the people's money has been concentrated on this!
This prefect is really not a good person!
A quarter of an hour ago, she had dealt with the assassin, and when she saw the prince and his entourage were about to go outside, she ran over happily.
Even Shen Zhao, whose injuries had not yet fully healed, followed.
The two have always been at the forefront of the melon-eating scene.
When the prefect and his family saw the prince coming, they knew they were doomed.
As soon as Magistrate Yin was arrested, the officials under him began to riot.
In a huge provincial capital, there are at least fifty officials of all ranks, and most of them are not innocent.
As Magistrate Yin and his family were taken to the capital to await trial by the emperor, the dike case finally came to an end.
There was an assassin imprisoned in the woodshed. Someone sneaked in at night and wanted to kill him, but when the candlelight illuminated the woodshed, Xia Yuning was shocked!
The person in front of her was not the assassin!
But it was Qiu Tong!
She was fooled!
Realizing this, she was so scared that she wanted to run away, but when she turned around and saw Bai Zhirou, the prince and others blocking the door, she knew she had lost the chance to argue!
"Miss Xia, don't tell me you were sleepwalking when you came to the woodshed in the middle of the night." Bai Zhirou looked at her with a smile.
The knife in her hand, which she had not yet put away, was particularly dazzling in the candlelight.
"What the hell are you doing?" Princess Rong stepped forward and grabbed her wrist. "Tell me now! This sleepwalking problem is incurable!"
Her words followed up on what Bai Zhirou had said.
As long as everyone thinks Xia Yuning is sleepwalking, everything will have a reasonable explanation.
But everyone looked at them as if they were watching a good show.
Bai Zhirou told them that locking the assassin here was just talk, and she had already sent the real assassin to the capital.
The river level dropped and the dam was completed.
The prince stood by the river and looked at the rolling waves, and suddenly felt infinite emotion in his heart.
Fortunately, he came along this time.
In fact, there has always been a voice in his heart asking him to come here, but his father did not allow him to do so. Instead, he asked his third brother, who had mediocre qualifications, to come here.
When everything was done, he felt an unprecedented peace of mind.
He felt that this was the right time.
"I feel like this time it's all thanks to you! The Queen Mother is right, you're so blessed that I want a piece of your fortune too." Chen Zhao joked in a nonchalant manner as he watched the water level sink and almost return to normal.
Suddenly his face froze and he stared at the water in front of him with wide eyes.
A soft, boneless hand was pressed into his palm.
The hand was warm and delicate, like a piece of fine mutton-fat jade, and it was smaller and softer than his own.
His fingers curled up involuntarily, but were held tighter.
"Here, you'll get more this way." Bai Zhirou smiled and then, mischievously, tiptoed closer to his ear, "On our wedding night, you'll have even more blessings."
Shen Zhao didn't understand what she meant at first, but when he saw her narrowed eyes and raised lips, it was like seeing a cunning kitten.
I immediately understood the meaning of her words.
"How can a grown-up girl be so shameless?" She said this, but her hands kept holding tighter and tighter.
Bai Zhirou's laughter was like a silver bell, floating in the wind.
