1022 Question: This was purely an accident

Normally, the two maids couldn't lift the chair, but at this moment, the maid not only lifted the chair, but also raised it over her head and threw it at Feng Qingchen, which showed how much the maid wanted Feng Qingchen's life. |

Feng Qingchen knew how heavy the chair was. If she was hit by it, she would be in trouble even if she didn't die. Feng Qingchen quickly dodged it, but at this moment, a figure in black suddenly flashed in front of Feng Qingchen and hugged Feng Qingchen...

There was a loud clang, and the large wooden chair broke into pieces. The maid let out a scream and fell to the ground with a thud.

Feng Qingchen breathed a sigh of relief and was about to look up to see who had saved her, but she suddenly felt a pain in the back of her neck, her vision went dark, and her body went limp uncontrollably.

The man in black picked up Feng Qingchen by the waist, carried her on his shoulders, turned around and left. When the Ninth Prince rushed over, he only saw a black shadow disappearing in Qiuhua Garden.

The Ninth Prince hurriedly chased after him, but the other party was very skilled in lightness skills and they were far away from each other, so the Ninth Prince could not see the other party at all.

There was no other way, so the Ninth Prince had to turn back. Looking at the miserable Qiuhua Garden, the Ninth Prince suppressed his anger and said, "Zuo'an, can you tell me what's going on?"

"I said this was an accident, do you believe it?" Zuo An was a little confused for a moment when he looked at the corpses lying all over the place.

These people committed suicide before he even started. This was too unchallenging.

"Accident? I believe it, but what about Feng Qingchen? Where is she now?" The Ninth Prince said gritting his teeth.

"This..." Zuo An thought for a moment and said, "It seems that he was taken away by a man in black."

"Take him away? Aren't these men in black here to kill Qingchen?" The Ninth Prince said coldly, pointing at the men in black who committed suicide after failing in their mission.

Zuo An nodded blankly: "Yes."

"Then are you sure that the man in black took Feng Qingchen away instead of killing her?" The Ninth Prince asked again.

Zuo An thought for a moment and said seriously, "The man in black came later and was not in the same group as this group of people. He seemed to have saved Feng Qingchen. Feng Qingchen's life should not be in danger in his hands."

"It's better this way, otherwise..." The Ninth Prince glared at Zuo An coldly, then ignored him and turned to the people behind him and said, "Pass on my order to seal the city immediately. Only people allowed to enter but not leave. Search the city for me. Find the person no matter if he is dead or alive."

As soon as the Ninth Prince finished speaking, the Governor of Shandong came running over breathlessly. Upon hearing what the Ninth Prince said, his first reaction was no, but when the Ninth Prince gave him a cold look, the Governor of Shandong immediately softened and said yes repeatedly.

“Hmph…” The Ninth Prince snorted coldly. His eyes, which were originally cold, were now frighteningly cold. He said to the Governor of Shandong, “Someone broke into a house and committed a crime within your jurisdiction. You’d better give me an explanation. Otherwise…you can forget about being the Governor of Shandong.”

Without the support of the Lu family, he would not be able to hold on to the position of Governor of Shandong. If he offended the Ninth Prince, he would be doomed to have no chance of being in officialdom for the rest of his life, let alone the Governor of Shandong.

The Governor of Shandong was so frightened that he was sweating profusely and could only nod his head.

The Governor of Shandong had a sense of crisis that his death was imminent. The Ninth Prince held a banquet in Shandong, but it was ruined. It seemed that the people of Shandong were dissatisfied with the Ninth Prince.

It doesn't matter how they acted in secret, but to break in in broad daylight is not only a slap in the face of the Ninth Prince, but also a slap in the face of the Governor of Shandong.

The Governor of Shandong cursed the Lu family in his heart, but he did not dare to delay and ran out of Huayuan, crawling and tumbling. He ordered the city to be sealed off and searched, determined to find Feng Qingchen at all costs.

After such an incident, the birthday banquet had to be interrupted. The Ninth Prince had a dark face and exuded cold murderous intent. Anyone with a little bit of insight knew that they should not offend the Ninth Prince at this time, and soon all the people from Huayuan left.

The Ninth Prince asked Zuo An about the situation in Qingqiu Huayuan, and then he ignored Zuo An and turned around to give orders, mobilizing all his forces in Shandong to track down Feng Qingchen's whereabouts. As for the Governor of Shandong?

The Ninth Prince did not believe that he could find Feng Qingchen. If Feng Qingchen fell into the hands of the Governor of Shandong, he would probably send her to the Lu family and let the Lu family pay the sky-high reward.

Feng Qingchen's life is very valuable!

The entire city was blocked off, with only entry allowed but no exit. The news that Feng Qingchen was assassinated on his birthday and his whereabouts were still unknown spread that same day.

"How could this happen?" When Young Master Lu heard the news, the cup in his hand fell to the ground and broke.

The Governor of Shandong felt uneasy when he saw that Third Master Lu had lost his composure, and asked, "Third Master, it wasn't you who did it?"

"How is it possible? How could I do such a thing?" Third Young Master Lu said righteously, "Sir, the people should not fight against the officials. Even if the Ninth Prince tramples my Lu family to death, my Lu family dare not challenge the Ninth Prince head-on."

In other words, the Lu family would only act in secret. An act like today's open and aboveboard attack was really not the Lu family's style.

The Governor of Shandong also agreed with this. No matter how arrogant the Lu family was, they would not dare to do such illegal things openly. If they fell into the hands of the Ninth Prince, even the Emperor could not save the Lu family.

"Who could it be?" The Governor of Shandong was worried. If it wasn't those killers, and it wasn't the Lu family, then who could have taken Feng Qingchen's life?

"You'll have to ask Uncle Nine about this. There are many people who want Feng Qingchen's life." Young Master Lu quickly calmed down.

It would be a good thing for their Lu family if Feng Qingchen died or disappeared, because this way, the Ninth Prince would have no time to deal with their Lu family.

After searching the city for a whole day, there was still no trace of clues as night fell. It was even more difficult to find someone at night. The longer Feng Qingchen was missing, the more dangerous it would be.

There are many people who want Feng Qingchen's life, but the Ninth Prince couldn't think of the person who would kidnap Feng Qingchen after thinking for a long time.

In the study, the Ninth Prince paced back and forth, the news just delivered by his subordinates constantly flashing through his mind.

What happened in Qiuhua Garden today can be described as a series of coincidences, a magical situation. Faced with such a situation, Feng Qingchen was lucky to be alive.

The people who set the fire outside Qiuhua Garden were a group of assassins. After they set the fire, they were discovered by the guards around Feng Qingchen. The guards were entangled by the assassins, so that when the men in black rushed in, the guards could not catch up.

The group of men in black were sent by the Queen. The Queen wanted Feng Qingchen dead for many reasons, including for the Crown Prince and for Imperial Concubine Xie. The Ninth Prince was not surprised by this.

As for the two maids who took action, they did not have any plan, but decided to take action on the spur of the moment. Those two maids were people buried in Huayuan by the Lu family.

They were waiting for an opportunity to strike Feng Qingchen, and they thought the chaos in Qiuhua Garden was the best opportunity.

So... things turned out like this. The assassin pinned down the guards, the man in black entangled Zuo An, the maid of the Lu family took the opportunity to attack, and then there was a person lurking in the dark, who took advantage of the chaos to kidnap Feng Qingchen...

Everything was a frightening coincidence. These four groups had never met before, but they all chose to take action on the same day and at the same time, cooperating very well.

As for today's incident, as long as one of the four groups of people came less, Feng Qingchen would be fine, but they all came together!

"Coincidence? This is indeed a coincidence." The Ninth Prince's finger gently stroked the paper, and finally landed on the word "accident"...
