Chapter 359 Even digging three feet into the ground, they couldn't find Lin Luoxi.
The second prince believed that the culprit must not have left the courtyard.
Moving those weapons would take time, and his most capable assistant, Dark Wolf, had only recently died.
This means the person is still in the courtyard. As long as he catches and kills the culprit, no one in the world will know what he did.
"Yes," the guards and attendants replied respectfully, seeing the Second Prince's frighteningly dark face.
They immediately spread out throughout the entire yard and began a thorough search, even bringing in their wolfhounds to look for people.
Lin Luoxi saw the Second Prince pacing back and forth in the room in a fit of rage. In a very good mood, she picked some fruit from the space and ate it while watching the commotion outside.
Although Lin Luoxi told Ye Hanchuan that he had a mysterious place, she didn't want to gamble on human nature.
When Xie Hanchuan was pulled into the space, she pricked Xie Hanchuan's sleep acupoint, keeping him in a deep sleep.
Just as Lin Luoxi was leisurely watching the Second Prince's increasingly furious emotions, the guards leading the wolfhound found the half-sleeve of Lin Luoxi that had fought with the man in red.
The sudden appearance of a woman's sleeve in the vast Netherworld Palace was already unusual.
The guard let the wolfhound sniff the scent on his sleeve before releasing it.
"Woof woof woof..." The wolfhound did not disappoint everyone, barking wildly at the location where Lin Luoxi was.
"You foolish beast!" The second prince, who was on the verge of exploding, heard the barking of the wolfhound and thought he had found the culprit, so he hurriedly ran out of the room.
But he saw the wolfhound barking wildly at the air, which angered him so much that he kicked the wolfhound away.
"Hmph..." The wolfhound, suffering an undeserved calamity, was kicked to the ground by the Second Prince, vomiting blood. It groaned in pain a few times, leaving behind a few tears of resentment, before slowly closing its eyes.
"Useless, all of them are useless." The Second Prince's rage finally subsided after he saw his carefully raised wolfhound kicked to death.
Faced with the surrounding guards and bodyguards, he could only shout angrily to cover up his inhuman behavior just now.
The others, terrified by the Second Prince's mad behavior, began searching the courtyard and other areas.
"That scared me to death!" Lin Luoxi, who was hiding in the space, saw the wolfhound barking at her location and was so frightened that she thought she had been exposed.
"Fortunately, the Second Prince's secret was discovered. Otherwise, if such a cruel and inhumane person were to become emperor, the people of the world would never have a peaceful life."
At this point, Lin Luoxi did not regret collecting evidence against the Second Prince.
On the contrary, they were quite glad, otherwise, if someone like the Second Prince had become emperor, not to mention the common people, even they themselves would not have had a good life.
The second prince led his men to search the courtyard for a whole day, but even after digging three feet into the ground, they still couldn't find anyone and had to give up on the courtyard and search other places.
After changing her clothes in the space, Luo Xi left the space with Xie Hanchuan.
"Wife, you..." Xie Hanchuan woke up instantly after Lin Luoxi pulled out the silver needles he had learned. As soon as he woke up, he wanted to accuse Lin Luoxi.
"Brother Han Chuan, I'm sorry, I had no choice just now." Lin Luoxi looked apologetically at Xie Han Chuan, without intending to explain her actions.
"It's okay, I believe you. It was only because of the emergency that I did that."
Xie Hanchuan thought about how dangerous their situation had been just now, and the words of accusation that came out of his mouth turned into words of comfort to Lin Luoxi.
"Let's go, there's no one here anymore, let's hurry up and get out." Seeing that Xie Hanchuan didn't say anything to her, Lin Luoxi smiled and quietly pulled Xie Hanchuan out of the Netherworld Palace.
After wandering through the alleys of the capital city, Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan finally headed towards the Ninth Prince's residence after losing sight of the people following them.
Given the urgency of the situation, Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan did not enter through the main gate of the Prince's Mansion, but instead climbed over the wall.
"Who's there?" It happened to be Lei Ming on patrol. Hearing the commotion, he immediately led his men over.
"Brother Lei, it's me!" Upon hearing Lei Ming's words, Lin Luoxi immediately pulled Xie Hanchuan to appear in front of Lei Ming.
"Miss Lin, what are you still doing here? Has something happened?"
Lei Ming was shocked to see Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan, who did not follow the usual path, suddenly appear at the Ninth Prince's mansion.
He had heard that the Lin family had already set off back to Quanshan County today, so why were Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan still here? Had something happened?
"It's a long story. Is your prince here?" Lin Ruoxi didn't expect Lei Ming to be so perceptive. He actually guessed that something had happened when he saw them appear.
"The prince was still in his study handling official business."
Seeing Lin Luoxi's serious expression, Lei Ming knew that something serious had really happened.
Knowing that Princess Ni Chang was also with Lin Luoxi when she returned to Quanshan County, could it be that something happened to Princess Ni Chang?
He immediately ordered the patrol team to patrol on their own, while he led Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan toward Xiao Jingchen's study.
"Luo Xi, Brother Han Chuan, what's going on? Didn't you go back today?" Xiao Jingchen was also shocked by Lin Luo Xi and Xie Han Chuan's sudden appearance in his study.
"Your Highness, we were really harmed by your royal brothers today..." Seeing Xiao Jingchen's surprised look, Lin Luoxi immediately told him about the assassination attempt they had encountered at Shili Slope.
"This is what we found on the person who disguised himself as a bandit to assassinate us," Lin Luoxi said, handing the extremely strange-looking token to Xiao Jingchen.
"Isn't this the token of the Netherworld Palace? I didn't expect them to actually attack you."
Xiao Jingchen's expression instantly turned ugly when he saw the strange token.
The Netherworld Palace was not unfamiliar to the people of the capital; on the contrary, they were extremely familiar with it. Some wealthy merchants in the capital had been murdered by the Netherworld Palace.
Unexpectedly, those people from the Netherworld Palace were so suicidal that they dared to provoke Lin Luoxi.
"Your Highness, these are some pieces of evidence we found during our raid on the Netherworld Palace's stronghold. Take a look for yourself..."
Unaware of Xiao Jingchen's wild thoughts, Lin Luoqi once again tossed out what Xie Jingchen had been carrying on his back and placed it in front of Xiao Jingchen.
“This…” Xiao Jingchen picked up the top notebook, flipped through a few pages, and was shocked when he saw the names written on it. His eyes widened.
"How about it, Your Highness? Aren't you shocked? Your brothers are quite ambitious."
"We had just finished killing the assassins in the Netherworld Palace when the Second Prince, having received the signal, hurriedly led his men into the courtyard."
"If we weren't so skilled in martial arts, he would have caught us long ago."
