In Prince Yan's Mansion, Yu Jin was rarely seen staying in Yuhe Garden. Instead, he was sitting in the study in the front yard, flipping through books out of boredom.
The window of the study was open, and not far outside the window there was a cluster of bamboos swaying slowly in the night breeze.
Yu Jian got bored of flipping through the book, so he put it upside down on the desk, stood up, and went to the window to look out.
The sparse moonlight cast a faint silvery hue on everything outside the window, giving it an indescribable chill.
Yu Jin estimated the time and felt that there was nothing to wait for, so he walked towards the study door.
As soon as I reached the door, I heard Long Dan's voice coming from outside: "Master, are you there?"
Yu Jin stopped and said unhappily, "Yes."
"Then the humble servant comes in."
The creaking of the door broke the silence of the autumn night, and Long Dan flashed in.
Yu Jin had already sat down again and motioned Long Dan to come forward.
"Master, keep an eye on Zhu Ziyu's subordinates for a message..."
After listening to Long Dan's report, Yu Jin raised his eyebrows: "Are you saying that Cui Mingyue sneaked out of her new home not long ago and was kidnapped again?"
"Yes, we continued to track her and found that Cui Mingyue had been captured and taken to the Prince of Xiang's Mansion..."
Yu Jin sneered: "Things are really getting more and more interesting."
Long Dan was so curious that he couldn't help asking, "Master, how did you know that something would happen on Cui Mingyue's wedding night?"
Yu Jin glanced at Long Dan and said, "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."
Long Dan chuckled and said, "Should our people continue to keep an eye on them?"
“No need.”
Yu Jin sent Long Dan away and walked back to Yuhe Garden along the bluestone road paved with moonlight.
The light in the main room was still on, and Jiang Si was still awake.
"Princess, the prince is here." Aqiao was reporting when Yu Jin walked in.
Jiang Si signaled Aqiao and others to step back and looked at Yu Jin.
"Asi, you guessed it right. Cui Mingyue and Zhu Ziyu are really abnormal tonight."
From Yu Jin's perspective, there was no need to send someone to keep an eye on Cui Mingyue and Zhu Ziyu. Tonight's action was Jiang Si's suggestion.
"What's abnormal?" Jiang Si asked.
A centipede is still alive even after death. We should not take people like Cui Mingyue lightly even if they fall into a mud pit.
Perhaps the one who knows a person best is always his opponent. Jiang Si doesn't believe that a person who would get involved with a married man just to plot against his elder sister would be willing to marry Zhu Ziyu.
It's just a matter of sending someone to keep an eye on it. If there's a gain, that's the best, but if there's no gain, that's fine too.
Thinking about Long Dan's report, Yu Jin smiled and said, "She may have run away from her marriage and slipped out at night with a small bag."
Jiang Si shook his head: "This is indeed something Cui Mingyue can do."
Cui Mingyue and Zhu Ziyu's marriage was a gift, and it was impossible to openly refuse the marriage.
Unwilling to accept this, the only option is to quietly escape the marriage.
Of course, if this kind of behavior happened to an ordinary family, it would definitely bring trouble to the parents and relatives, but Cui Mingyue did not worry about this.
No matter how angry the emperor is, he will not do anything to Princess Rongyang.
"Ah, could it be that your men have brought the person back?" Thinking of this possibility, Jiang Si became a little worried.
Yu Jin stretched out his hand and pinched Jiang's cheeks: "What are you thinking about? How could my subordinates be so stupid? Cui Mingyue was taken away by someone, but it was the King of Xiang's men."
Jiang Si breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
It has long been said that with Cui Mingyue's ambitious personality, she could kill herself without any deliberate action. Now it seems that her small goal is about to be achieved.
"Where's Zhu Ziyu?"
Yu Jin pulled Jiang Si towards the bed and said nonchalantly, "I guess he's dead..."
Jiang Si paused for a moment, but soon returned to normal.
The person who harmed my elder sister is dead, which makes everyone happy.
In the Prince of Xiang's mansion, the Prince of Xiang looked at the woman with her mouth blocked and her face turned black. He grabbed the secret guard and slapped him hard several times, cursing as he beat him: "Are you stupid? Ah, are you stupid? I told you to keep an eye on what's going on over there, why did you bring the person back to me?"
At this moment, Prince Xiang was indeed a little crazy.
He was unwilling to see the adulterous couple live together after such a huge loss of face, so he sent people to keep an eye on that place so that he could take revenge when the right opportunity came.
He never expected that the idiot who was following him would actually bring Cui Mingyue back to him!
The secret guard who was slapped felt equally aggrieved.
The master ordered him to keep an eye on that place so that he could deal with any problems in a timely manner. Miss Cui escaped from her marriage at night, which is such a big deal. If he didn't bring her back first, would he just watch her run away?
What will he do if his master asks him for someone again?
“Idiot!” The King of Xiang’s hands hurt from beating him, so he stopped and came to Cui Mingyue.
Cui Mingyue's eyes were filled with shock and anger.
The King of Xiang slapped him and sneered, "You bastard, why are you looking at me like that?"
Cui Mingyue was speechless, and the anger in her eyes grew even stronger.
Is the Prince of Xiang sick? He actually sent people to keep an eye on her at night!
Thinking of this, Cui Mingyue's heart skipped a beat. The anger in her eyes quickly faded away, replaced by pleading.
She was bright and beautiful, even though she was so mean, when she lowered herself to look at a man in a pleading manner, it would be difficult for the man to remain indifferent.
The King of Xiang was indeed stunned for a moment, but soon he laughed: "Why, now you know to beg me?"
Cui Mingyue made a humming sound, feeling a little anxious.
After escaping from her marriage and falling into the hands of Prince of Xiang, Cui Mingyue felt fear for the first time.
She must be given a chance to speak so that she can do her best for herself in this situation.
Seeing the woman who was once so high and mighty become like this, Prince Xiang suddenly felt less annoyed with the secret guard.
It is much more satisfying than I imagined to torture this proud girl myself.
King Xiang stretched out his hand and pinched Cui Mingyue's chin, smiling coldly: "You bastard, do you think I will give you a chance to be so charming?"
Cui Mingyue blinked, not understanding what King Xiang meant.
The man's fingertips gently stroked her chin, then moved down little by little, landing on her fair neck, next to her delicate collarbone.
The kiss mark on the collarbone made the King of Xiang sneer: "Haha, it seems that the wedding night is over? Then why are you running away?"
Cui Mingyue trembled all over and fear spread in her heart.
What does the Prince of Xiang want to do? Does he want to destroy her innocence?
As soon as this thought came to my mind, I heard a click.
Cui Mingyue's eyes suddenly widened and her reaction was a little slow.
What happened?
This thought flashed vaguely through her mind, and the beautiful girl hung her neck and did not move, like a swan with broken wings.
King Xiang lowered his eyes and looked at his hands.
There is no other way. Since Cui Mingyue has entered the Prince of Xiang's Mansion, this is the only way to solve the problem once and for all.
He looked at the Dark Guard.
Secret Guard: “…” It’s okay if he’s wrong.
"Go and dispose of the body. I remember there was an abandoned well in the abandoned courtyard of the palace..."
The secret guard didn't dare to say a word and ran away carrying Cui Mingyue's body.
The light in the room was dim. Prince Xiang took out a handkerchief, wiped his hands, and sighed.
He was helpless and could only blame the woman for being short-lived.
The next day, a scream broke the tranquility of the small house.
