"Go to Prince Li's mansion and watch over it for the next two days to see if anyone sends him a head."
The black shadow didn't say anything. After receiving the order, he nodded slightly and disappeared into the dark corner.
A carriage slowly passed by Prince Li's mansion, dropping two large bags from it. The guards immediately stepped forward and opened the bags. When they saw the contents, their faces suddenly changed, and they quickly closed the bags. After checking both sides of the road to make sure no one was around, they immediately carried the two bags inside.
After the guards went in, a black shadow floated away from a lush tree in the distance.
*********************Join Hands with Each Other*******************
On the fifth day after returning to Fengyang, the people from the capital finally arrived to fetch the Crown Prince. They were none other than Murong Qingyun, the Crown Prince of Zhennan. Also accompanying them was another person whom Murong Xiao hated the most in his life: Murong Yan!
When the prefect Zhu Sui and the governor Pang Mo learned that the people from the capital had arrived, they went to the city gate to greet them early in the morning. However, Murong Qingyun and Murong Xiao were both high-profile people in the eyes of others. Although the prefect's status was lower than that of the prince of Zhennan, his rank was not low. However, when the prefect paid homage to him, Murong Qingyun did not dismount.
After the governor and prefect finished their homage, he lazily said, "Governor Zhu, the Empress sent a secret letter long before the Crown Prince arrived in Fengyang for recuperation, asking you to keep it secret and take proper security measures. But you've been so good! In the ten days since the Crown Prince arrived, you've already had three assassination attempts, a total of four. You've really done a great job of security!"
Looking at Murong Qingyun's condescending look, the prefect gritted his teeth but had to smile apologetically: "Please forgive me, my humble servant, I have also been unable to sleep at night because of these things.
"I have already done my best to keep it a secret, but the Crown Prince and his entourage have attracted so much attention that the people of Fengyang have already heard about it after only a few days. Even if I wanted to keep it a secret, I can't!"
"Since you knew that living in the temporary palace couldn't be kept secret, why did you still arrange for the Crown Prince and Crown Princess to live in the temporary palace? What was your intention?"
"this……"
"I heard that after the first assassination attempt, the Crown Princess took the Crown Prince into hiding. And you led your troops to attack the Governor's Mansion?"
Zhu Sui's face paled, and he blurted out a denial, "Your Highness, please don't say that! I hadn't heard from the Crown Prince for two days, and the guards at the Crown Prince's residence refused to let me in. I was afraid the Crown Prince and Crown Princess were being held hostage by someone with ulterior motives, so I led the troops to protect them. I absolutely had no intention of offending His Highness the Crown Prince."
"I heard that nothing happened during the six days the Crown Princess hid with the Prince. After things settled down a bit, they sent someone to inform the governor. But as soon as the governor learned of the Prince's whereabouts, he immediately encountered two or three more assassination attempts. Could it be that the governor and the assassins were acquaintances?"
Zhu Sui's face turned pale with fright: "Prince, don't say anything careless! If only I knew about this, this situation would definitely not happen, but...but..."
"You're saying that the Crown Prince is at fault in this matter. Shouldn't he have informed you and then immediately gone out and announced his hiding place, allowing someone to assassinate him?"
"Sir, I didn't mean that! You are making a false accusation!"
"Master Zhu! No need to explain. Come back to the capital with me to report on your work! Someone, take Master Zhu and Master Pang away!"
"I am an official appointed by the imperial court.
