"What happened?"
Huo Chen was startled and immediately stood up.
Didn't I already send a message to that guy? He should have received it by now, so why is this happening?
Huo Chenyi looked around, then pulled Chi Tang up and said, "Let's go back to the manor first."
As for the fries, we'll have to deal with that later.
It's not a good place to talk about these things right now; it would be bad if someone overheard us.
Chi Tang wasn't one to be ungrateful, and upon hearing this, she immediately nodded: "I know, let's go quickly."
"good."
After returning to the Princess's residence, the group went directly to the study.
Zhui Feng and his companions stood guard outside.
"What exactly happened?"
"After receiving the news, Young Master Meng still decided to keep the appointment, saying that only in this way could he obtain evidence! In the border town, the person behind the attack on him must be the Prince of Anping!"
Therefore, he had to keep the appointment; only in this way could he obtain the evidence! After arranging for guards to protect him, Young Master Meng also wore golden silk armor, so Ming Ruyue's sword strike was ineffective.
Ming Ruyue was Meng Kuo's fiancée.
Because of his weak health since childhood, he was raised outside and trained in martial arts with martial arts practitioners, which indeed improved his health considerably.
However, their engagement had been arranged since childhood, so Meng Kuo would visit Ming Ruyue every year and often bring her gifts.
No one expected that the one who wanted to kill Meng Kuo this time would be Ming Ruyue.
Explain clearly.
“Ming Ruyue… must have been intimate with Young Master Meng before, perhaps even kissing him. She smeared poison on her lips, so…”
Huo Chenyi: ...
Chi Tang: ...
What's going on here?
"What did Meng Kuo do to wrong his fiancée? Why does Ming Ruyue hate Meng Kuo so much that she would risk her life for him?"
Chi Tang didn't understand.
Whether it's assassinating Meng Kuo or applying poison to her lips, it would put her in danger.
How could this be...?
Huo Chenyi's brows were furrowed, and his eyes were dark and filled with a cold and murderous aura!
"Meng Kuo doesn't say he likes Ming Ruyue that much, but because of a sense of responsibility, he treats her quite well. As for other things... Meng Kuo is only eleven years old, not yet at the age where he should be flirting with women!"
His tone was rather cold and hard.
He was clearly very angry.
Chi Tang asked the guards, "Have you investigated this Ming Ruyue?"
If you live in the world of martial arts, then there are too many possibilities.
The guard said, "We investigated, and it seems that Ming Ruyue... has some connection with her master..."
"You like her master?"
Chi Tang was speechless.
A forbidden love, huh?
Is that really so daring?
However, considering that the person behind it all had been using poison to manipulate people's hearts, Chi Tang felt that she couldn't help but think in that direction.
"Go and investigate whether Ming Ruyue is being controlled by the Love Poison."
Even if a ten-year-old girl is still somewhat naive and has a little curiosity about love, she would never be so delusional.
To be with the other person, they would do anything, even kill!
This is illogical.
But if someone has controlled you with poison, then that's a possibility.
Huo Chen's eyes lit up: "Yes, that's possible. Send someone to investigate immediately. Also, report this to His Majesty and have the Ming family shut down immediately!"
"yes."
Huo Chenyi said to Chi Tang, "I'm sorry, Tangtang, I have to go!"
Now, not only is Meng Kuo poisoned, but he is also in critical condition.
There is something even more important: once the secret guards come to the rescue, Prince Anping will know that Meng Kuo was sent by His Majesty!
At that time, the Prince of Anping will probably kill Meng Kuo.
so!
He had to go and meet Meng Kuo.
"Have you figured out how to cure the melon poison?"
"I will send a message to Zhu Zhuliang immediately."
"You..." Chi Tang seemed to want to say something, but swallowed it back, and finally only said, "Be careful on the road."
Huo Chenyi didn't want to waste a moment and immediately set off.
Before leaving, it was natural to say goodbye to Princess Duanhui.
Although the eldest princess felt sorry for her and was unwilling, she ultimately did not stop her.
Two women, one tall and one short, stood at the doorway in the biting wind, watching the lone figure gradually disappear into the night, their hearts clenching with anxiety.
“Actually, you don’t want Chenyi to go either, do you?” Princess Duanhui suddenly said.
Chi Tang shook her head and said with perfect clarity, "No, I am not unwilling."
Everyone has the right to make their own choices, and no one can interfere.
She couldn't really say whether she was willing or not.
"You little girl are really something else," Princess Duanhui said with a smile, and then said nothing more.
Actually, she didn't quite understand.
In my previous life, although I also met Chi Tang, but...
It's clearly not like this now.
Where exactly did things go wrong?
Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore.
Many things in this life are different from those in the previous life. Her only goal is to ensure Chen Yi's safety and happiness; she doesn't care about anything else.
Are you going back tomorrow?
"Yes, I should tell my family about my plans to come to the capital."
Although she could write a letter back home, she didn't want to do that, as it would seem disrespectful to her family.
Besides, it's not far from here; she can just walk there.
Now that Brother Chenyi is no longer in the capital, she has nothing to be reluctant about.
"You little rascal, now that your brother Chenyi isn't here, you don't want to stay here for even a moment longer, right?"
