Chapter 196 Hidden Murder



"How is it? How is it going?"

Xie Bingyan looked at her seriously injured body, frowned, and helped her sit on the chair.

"What on earth is going on? Why are you..."

"Miss, if someone asks you later, just say that I have always been by your side serving you."

"Um."

Just then, a sound came from the door, approaching from afar.

"Are you sure you saw the assassin coming this way?!"

"Yes, but we don't know in which direction."

There was a whisper at the door, and then there was a gentle knock on the door, "Concubine, have you rested?"

"kindness."

"It's like this, we suspect there are assassins near Qiushui Pavilion, please be careful, Madam."

The guards at the door were preparing to search the surroundings, but when they saw Xie Bingyan open the door, they quickly took a step back and bowed respectfully.

"There are no assassins here, you all go back first." Xie Bingyan stood at the doorstep and looked at everyone, speaking loudly. Everyone raised their eyes cautiously, embarrassed to look into her room, only to see Mingyue behind her, who had changed into a light blue cross-collared short-sleeved dress and was standing beside her.

"There are no assassins here. Why don't you go to the East Garden to look for them. We did hear a strange sound just now." Mingyue said to everyone with a smile on her face. When everyone heard it, they chased in the direction of the East Garden.

Seeing everyone marching in unison towards East Garden, Xie Bingyan quickly closed the door, only to see Mingyue lying on the side spitting blood.

"Mingyue, Mingyue, what's wrong with you?" Xie Bingyan anxiously supported her, but found that she couldn't move no matter how hard she pulled.

"Miss, I'm fine. I just suffered some internal injuries. I just need to rest for a few days." Mingyue raised her sore eyelids and looked at her. Too many things happened tonight.

"Are you really okay? Otherwise, I'll ask Doctor Hu to check you out."

"No, if Miss lets Doctor Hu know that I have internal injuries, he will definitely think that the assassin is me. I can't let anyone suspect Miss."

Mingyue took a deep breath, sat cross-legged on the spot, mobilized her internal strength, and sank her qi into her dantian. After a while, her complexion recovered a lot. Xie Bingyan covered her chest, but at this moment, she looked uneasy.

The next morning, Rong Zhen was lying in bed and had not yet recovered, while Gu Yunru stayed by his side all night. Qingxing had been released from another courtyard. When she returned to the mansion, she heard about the assassination of the prince last night. She was very shocked and ran to Gu Yunru in horror and bowed, "Princess."

This incident also alarmed Huang Zijun, who had already returned to the court. When he arrived at the mansion, he heard about this terrifying incident and clenched his fists tightly, "Qingfeng, how is the investigation of the assassin going?"

Qingfeng stood aside with a guilty look on his face.

"We didn't find him. He ran to the East Garden and disappeared." Qingfeng lowered his eyelids. He felt that this matter was not that simple.

At this time, Rong Zhen was lying on the bed and coughed softly, which attracted Gu Yunru's attention. Gu Yunru quickly pulled up his sleeve to check his pulse.

"Princess, how is the prince?" Qingxing asked anxiously with a worried and pale face.

Gu Yunru took a deep breath, slowly lowered her head, and put his hand back on the quilt. "Although my life is saved, my eyes..."

"What's wrong with my eyes?" A steady and powerful voice suddenly sounded. It was Rong Zhen's voice. Gu Yunru wanted to open her lips, but the words were choked in her throat. She was afraid that speaking this out might hit him.

"It's nothing, just temporary blindness. Once I find the antidote, I will definitely save you." Gu Yunru took his hand and assured him. Huang Zijun and Qingfeng on the side looked at each other and walked out of the house tacitly.

"Do you think it's possible that this assassin is someone from the palace?" Huang Zijun touched the sword on his waist and asked in doubt, frowning and looking at Qingfeng in confusion.

"I had my suspicions too, so I asked the butler to gather all the servants together. Let's go and take a look. That man must have been exhausted after being hit by me."

Huang Zijun nodded, his dark eyebrows and eyes were very deep, and followed him to the backyard. The wide yard was filled with hundreds of servants, and everyone was terrified by what happened last night.

"The prince was assassinated yesterday, and the murderer must be among you. If you still refuse to come forward, I can't guarantee that you can leave the palace alive." The butler walked back and forth in front of everyone with a dragon whip. The atmosphere suddenly dropped to freezing point and no one dared to look up.

"Ahem, still no one is willing to stand up, right?"

The butler lashed the ground with the long whip, instantly splashing a lot of dust. The servants standing in the front row were so scared that they quickly knelt on their knees.

Qingfeng and Huang Zijun looked at each other and walked to the side of the housekeeper. Huang Zijun asked everyone to stand apart and looked at their faces. If they were injured internally, their faces would definitely be different from those of ordinary people.

Huang Zijun was dazzled by the sight of men and women standing together, and could not tell who had internal injuries, because some people were frightened pale by the housekeeper just now.

"Butler, are all the people in the mansion here?" Huang Zijun asked the butler beside him. The butler nodded seriously, "General, all the people have come out, except for those who asked for leave and those who are sick, so they were not allowed to come out."

"There are several people who are sick. Tell me their names and how long they have been in the mansion. Give them to me later." Huang Zijun ordered in a cold voice, and his calm eyes looked at the anxious and panicked faces of the crowd again.

"yes."

Hundreds of people stood there, all with different body shapes. Huang Zijun walked up to Qingfeng and asked in a low voice, "How tall was the assassin that appeared that night? Was he a man or a woman? Have you found anything?"

Qingfeng recalled carefully that the palm was hit from his back, but he was petite.

"I can't remember, but her eyes are very handsome. I'm not sure if she's a man or a woman, but I always feel that she's a woman." Qingfeng vaguely touched her body and found it soft. It was a little different from the posture of ordinary martial artists.

"Then the possibility of it being a woman is very high."

Huang Zijun was analyzing calmly on the side. When Gu Yunru and Qingxing walked out of the prince's room, they saw so many servants standing in the wide courtyard.

Qing Xing lowered her voice and said, "Princess, did you see what the assassin looked like? Because Qing Xing and General Huang said that it is very likely that he is someone in the palace."

"I didn't see what he looked like."
