Chapter 185 Yunling's Death
"I don't know." Chen Shuyao thought about it and said.
"Yun Ling is the new leader of the Shenyue Sect." After Ma Jingtang finished speaking, he saw that the person in front of him seemed confused, so he explained to her, "The Shenyue Sect is one of the most influential sects on the grasslands. It has only begun to absorb Han people in recent years. Naturally, the Crown Prince's wife is unaware of this."
Chen Shuyao frowned and listened to her continue talking.
Then, the other party continued slowly, "Prince Xiao was once on a cross-border reconnaissance mission when he was accidentally ambushed by the enemy. He was seriously injured and had to be brought back by Sect Leader Yunling."
"Yun Ling has done the prince a favor?" Chen Shuyao raised her eyebrows. Xiao Mo had already said this.
"It's certain that she did me a favor. Later, Miss Yunling often came to visit me. I even saw them walking together on the grassland. I should say they have a very close relationship..." Ma Jingtang looked at Chen Shuyao and said again.
Seeing that the other party still seemed unhurried, she leaned closer and said, "If it were at the border, it wouldn't be a big deal, but this Yunling Sect Leader has come to the capital."
Chen Shuyao couldn't help but look at the woman in front of her. She was wearing a honey-colored jacket, which was still a relatively new style. She still had the same gilded jade hairpin on her head that she wore when they met last time, but the quality of it was not very good.
Chen Shuyao thought of the day when her third sister got married. This man looked embarrassed when he came up to her, but now he was full of energy.
How can I describe her current expression?
It's definitely not the concern of a friend, it seems like he's just watching a show.
Chen Shuyao frowned for a moment, "Yun Ling is here today?"
"Madam Crown Prince, please follow me!" Ma Jingtang said immediately. This was exactly what she wanted to hear.
Chen Shuyao winked at Dongqing and Zisu behind her, and after a while she followed the deputy general's daughter out of the corridor.
Ma Jingtang took Chen Shuyao and walked away from the main hall. At this time, the Buddha bathing ceremony in the small square had ended, and the people who came to participate in the ceremony were scattered everywhere.
They may go into the temple to worship Buddha, or go to the back mountain to appreciate flowers and meet friends, or chat on the spot... It adds a rare sense of homeliness to this temple.
The two of them came to one side of the small square and saw two men and one woman standing on the mountain path in front of them. Although one of the men had his back to them, Chen Shuyao had looked over his shoulder to admire the moon in the small attic last night, so how could she not know who he was?
As for the woman, she had seen her in the restaurant before, and she was probably the Yunling Sect Leader that Ma Jingtang mentioned.
And the other man... Hey! Why does he look familiar?
Chen Shuyao estimated his figure and the heavily guarded imperial guards around him, and she suddenly thought of someone, the new emperor Zhu Hongyuan!
At this moment, Xiao Mo turned around as if he had sensed something. When he saw Chen Shuyao, his expression seemed nervous. As he stared at her, his eyes suddenly widened.
"Be careful!" Chen Shuyao heard a man's voice coming from the front, and then she was knocked down by Dong Qing behind her.
On this side of the mountain road, Miss Yunling, who had originally visited the Dayan Emperor in the capacity of the leader of the Shenyue Sect, suddenly stretched out her hand towards the little emperor. In her hand was a palm-sized bone arrow, which was now aimed directly at the other's throat.
Zhu Hongyuan was also a martial artist, so how could he allow himself to be assassinated by a woman?
Just as he dodged the bone arrow, the other party suddenly smiled charmingly and opened her red lips, and a black object spurted out of the woman's mouth.
"Poisonous scorpion!" the little emperor exclaimed.
But before it could close its mouth, the still living poisonous scorpion was knocked to the ground by Xiao Mo.
When Chen Shuyao raised her head again, she saw that Sect Leader Yunling, who had been talking and laughing just now, suddenly fell backwards.
Chen Shuyao sniffed and suddenly felt a foul smell rushing into her nose.
She looked to the side again and saw Ma Jingtang lying on the ground, with the edge of her skirt wet.
Dongqing looked up at the roof of the hall and saw that the person who shot the arrow had been shot into a sieve by the Yulin Guards below.
Seeing that the crisis was temporarily resolved, she hurriedly helped Shen Shuyao up and stood a little further away.
Ma Jingtang had already stood up with the help of her maid. Her whole face turned purple with embarrassment. She didn't bother to say anything more. She just bowed randomly to Chen Shuyao and left in embarrassment.
Chen Shuyao saw that the corpse of Sect Leader Yunling and the scorpion that was said to be nourished with poisonous blood were cleaned up.
Zhu Hongyuan was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses.
He exchanged a few words with Prince Xiao in front of him, and then left under the protection of the Yulin Army.
Xiao Mo looked at the little emperor's hurried steps, and a rare look of worry appeared on his face.
But seeing Shen Shuyao not far away, he took a few steps towards her, "Why are you running around again? You can't remember anything I said to you."
Chen Shuyao looked at the other person carefully, and for the first time, she was obedient and did not defend herself.
Xiao Mo smiled and took her hand again. Seeing that the skin was scratched, he wanted to scold her again, but the little girl in front of him flattened her mouth and said, "Someone said you were dating your ex-lover. Shouldn't I come to see you?"
"What do you do after you read it?" the man asked, with a hint of laughter in his voice.
Chen Shuyao glanced at him, "After reading it, um...how can a man be so cruel? Isn't he the savior of the border?"
Xiao Mo thought about the lie she told at night, just to see this person's reaction, but she looked indifferent.
He said helplessly, "That's not the case."
Seeing her looking at him strangely, he reached out and patted her on the head, "Why is it always your man's fault, right? What would you do if you really saw me dating my ex-lover?"
Chen Shuyao frowned, wondering how this happened just now?
What would happen if he really saw the other person with a woman?
She should pretend not to know!
Shen Shuyao smiled, but facing Xiao Mo's serious gaze, she changed her mind and said, "I'll be angry and ignore you."
After she finished speaking, she heard a loud laugh from the person next to her.
He laughed and said, "Didn't you kill that woman with one blow?"
Shen Shuyao thought about it and said, "I can't beat him."
Looking at Yun Ling's various tricks, she really couldn't beat her.
But what is the other party's purpose?
First she had someone shoot an arrow from behind, and then she carried out the assassination. Did she really think that the assassination would succeed?
Yun Ling knew Xiao Mo, so it was impossible for her not to know his methods, but she still did it and lost her life.
Is that how it happened?
Chen Shuyao always felt that their purpose was not just this.
Thinking of the little emperor's pale face when he left, Shen Shuyao felt a little worried.
Xiao Mo ordered Dong Qing to send his wife to the old lady, and as he left, he said, "Wait until I come back!"
Something happened in Qingning Temple, and Chen Shuyao knew he had to go back to clean up the mess.
Everyone in the Xiao family now roughly knew what had happened.
When Wang saw Shen Shuyao, she asked, "How is Mo'er?"
Seeing his daughter-in-law nod, he asked about the little emperor. He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he knew that everything was fine.
