At the post station outside the palace, Prince Changning stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back. Although he tried to remain calm, the tension in his hands still revealed a hint of his emotion.
Several dark shadows tumbled over the wall, and the leader was Li Yong.
"Your Highness, you are right. Red Rose really appeared on the moat bridge, but we also met another person..." Li Yong said while kneeling.
"Who?" Yue Chengning raised his eyebrows slightly and asked in a cold voice.
"It's the National Master Tianwen!"
"Him? Why would he come down the mountain?" Yue Chengning was extremely surprised, and soon her eyes quickly darkened. "So, Red Rose is not dead?"
Li Yong said with shame: "In fact, even without the national teacher, we are not her opponent. That woman's martial arts are very high..."
"Asshole!" Yue Chengning kicked Li Yong fiercely, "You are all the secret guards carefully trained by the king. Can't you even deal with a Jianghu organization?"
Li Yong knelt on the ground and said nothing.
Yue Chengning looked up at the full moon. Did Tianwen also go down the mountain? Could that legend be true?
The night is dark.
When Leng Jiu walked into the room, he saw the prince standing with his back to him and his hands behind his back. His straight back looked like a strong pine tree in the wind and rain.
"Prince, you did a great job tonight!" Leng Jiu whispered, "I believe the Emperor and the Queen will be very happy when they receive the news!"
"Happy?" A Luo turned slowly, his brown eyes sparkling with a melancholy and charming look, "They are happy when they get what they want, why doesn't anyone ask me if I want it too?"
Leng Jiu sighed, "You are already the crown prince, and the entire Miluo Kingdom will belong to you, isn't that enough?"
A Luo sneered, "Mi Luo Kingdom?"
Leng Jiu knelt on the ground with a plop. "Leng Jiu knows what the prince wants.
But that person no longer belonged to the prince five years ago. What you have to do now is... "
"Enough!" A Luo interrupted him coldly, "I have listened to you and not contacted her. Do you want to control my thoughts as well? Get out!" He flicked his sleeves coldly.
Leng Jiu shut up, slowly walked out and closed the door.
Looking up at the bright moon again, the man's brows revealed an indescribable melancholy...
Fulu knocked on the door hurriedly, "Master, Madam hasn't returned to Lanshui Tower!"
Yue Nanchen raised his head from the book and frowned slightly, "Got it!"
Fulu hesitated slightly, as if he had something else to say.
"Go ahead!" Yue Nanchen didn't even raise his head this time.
"Master, I heard what happened in the palace tonight. Please don't blame Madam. Fulu feels that Madam not only did not embarrass me, but also relieved me. Do you still remember what happened at Wanfu Inn last time?
"I have seen Li Neng, the guard of Prime Minister Jiang's house, but when I wanted to verify it later, Li Neng seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth. I think Prime Minister Jiang might have been involved in the incident at Wanfu Inn. After all, it is a fact known to everyone that the princess is not favored. He might want to take revenge on me!"
Yue Nanchen raised his head from the book. Although Fulu's analysis was a little one-sided, when he thought of the package of drugs that appeared in Room 3, he couldn't help but suspect that someone was watching him in the dark. Could it be Jiang Yan?
A secret signal came from the roof. It was Qianhun.
Fulu quickly took his leave.
Qianhun came in through the window, "Master, the red rose you are looking for is on the moat bridge. It just had a fight with King Changning's men!"
Yue Nanchen stood up quickly and left using his lightness skills.
Red Rose, it's been so long, are we finally going to meet?
Late Night
On the city bridge, the moonlight was like water. A woman sat on the stone railing, her red dress fluttering in the wind, as she was about to go home. If it weren't for the eerie and depressing atmosphere between the two of them.
Seeing from a distance, you would really think they were a couple in love, staying up late at night to admire the moon and water!
"Let's go home!" Lan Shuiyao jumped down from the railing lazily.
Tianwen smiled faintly, "It's not even daybreak yet. Am I so annoying that I have to endure this night?"
Shui Yao lowered her head, her hair falling down, and she glanced at him lazily from the side through her hair, "It's really not that interesting. Compared to men, I prefer counting money to pass the day!"
Tianwen sighed quietly, and that beautiful and resentful look would make anyone feel heartbroken, "Miss, you are really special! I wonder if a man who looks like Yin Zi would be liked by Miss?"
Lan Shuiyao was startled. She had never thought that Tianwen, who looked like he was out of touch with the world, could actually tell jokes. She immediately bent over and laughed loudly. In the end, she couldn't get enough of laughing even with her waist bent, so she leaned on the man's shoulder and laughed...
The charming fragrance is like a small hand,
"He's here!" Tian Wen suddenly spoke softly.
Lan Shuiyao was stunned. She could smell the fierce murderous aura without turning back. The funniest thing was that the murderous aura was so familiar.
"I'm leaving!" Tian Wen spoke again, and this time without waiting for her to react, his tall body suddenly jumped off the city wall bridge and disappeared, just like when he first came, silently.
Shui Yao stood in the moat and looked down. The water was rushing under the bridge, and there was no trace of the man. Suddenly, she understood why Tian Wen chose to walk under the bridge. He didn't want to be discovered by Yue Nanchen.
She didn't want to be discovered by Yue Nanchen, and she didn't want to get entangled with him, especially when he had begun to doubt her.
identity.
She quickly retreated, and before Yue Nanchen's body flew onto the bridge, Lan Shuiyao displayed her lightness skills and jumped off the bridge. Like an eagle spreading its wings, she flew across the water easily and beautifully and rushed to the other side.
Yue Nanchen stood on the white bridge, wearing an elegant black robe with a white shirt on the outside. He was tall and straight, with beautiful facial features that were cold and fierce, and dark black pupils. He stared coldly at the red figure that was gradually going away.
Although it was just a back view, it was enough to raise his suspicion to a higher level. Now he was 70% sure that Red Rose was Lan Shuiyao.
They both love money and wear red clothes. In particular, the coldness and viciousness that Lan Shuiyao occasionally reveals are very similar to the scent of the red rose just now.
It seems that he needs to investigate the Lan Mansion!
It skimmed across the water and stopped on a stone by the river. It looked up at the bridge. Although the distance was too far to see clearly, Lan Shuiyao could still feel the gaze of the man on the bridge on her.
She had some doubts in her mind, but she was too lazy to think about them. She tiptoed and rushed towards the house. Calculating the time, Yinglu should be back. She could also draw a preliminary conclusion on whether Yinglu was loyal and whether she could be used by her!
The lights were on in the house, and Yinglu went to greet her as soon as she saw her come back.
"Are you not in danger?" Shui Yao looked at the two bags of silver spread out on the table and asked in a low voice.
Yinglu shook her head, her eyes gleaming with excitement, "Miss, I finally completed the task!"
Shui Yao patted her shoulder, "Okay, very good, you are tired too, go and rest first!"
"Yes, miss!" Yinglu nodded and left the room.
She went forward to take a look at the silver, and just as she expected, one bag was real silver, and the other was filled with lead, which was fake silver. It seemed that Prince Changning did not want Dong Qing'er to return safely!
Although she
Let someone send Dong Qing'er back to the Dong Mansion, but there is no guarantee that Dong Qing'er will show up on time tomorrow and leave with Prince Changning. If her guess is correct...
Lan Shuiyao's eyes darkened. She had promised Yue Nanxuan that she would never let Dong Qing'er stay. Moreover, Prince Changning wanted to kill her. She was a person who would never let go of a grudge, so he would have to pay a price.
Pulling the veil, Lan Shuiyao once again used her lightness skills to head towards Dong's mansion.
Shui Yao was right as expected. Dong Qing'er had just taken a bath, changed her clothes, and eaten something. She was now lying weakly on the bed. Xiao Xi in front of her was wiping her tears, while Dong Wenhua was pacing back and forth in front of the bed impatiently.
"You really can't remember? Wasn't it at the Wanfu Inn? Why was it snatched away by Red Rose?"
Dong Wenhua asked again and again, hoping to find some loopholes. Someone must be held responsible for this incident, either Prince Changning or Prince Yongnan. His Dong family cannot suffer this loss!
Moreover, the news that Dong Qing'er was kidnapped by Red Rose had already spread throughout the court and the public. If he did not seek justice, not only Dong Qing'er, but even he, the Shangshu, would be too ashamed to face anyone.
Dong Qing'er's face was pale. She had been frightened, scared and hungry in that dark little house for the past few days and had already lost a lot of weight. She just shook her head and had not yet recovered from the fear.
"Oh!" Dong Wenhua sighed, "What do you think we should do now? Prince Changning is leaving the city at dawn. I think it will be difficult for him to come back. Tell dad what your plan is. Do you want to follow him or..."
Dong Qing'er blinked her big eyes and was a little undecided.
Although she couldn't quite remember what happened at Wanfu Inn that day, she knew it had something to do with Yue Nanchen. How could Yue Nanchen just watch her being abducted by Red Rose?
