Chapter 157: Wake Up (Part 4)



At that moment, the strong air pressure even made Su He a little unable to bear it, and the man in black was so scared that he knelt down with a thud.

But before he could beg for mercy, the black-clad man's head rolled several times on the ground.

Before Su He could react, he saw a black shadow flash before his eyes, and then Helian Sheng was no longer there.

"Your Majesty!"

Su He ran quickly to the edge of the cliff, but could only barely see the afterimage of Helian Sheng.

The prince...actually jumped off a cliff without hesitation for Miss Duan?!

Although nervous and scared, Su He still ran towards the temple quickly.

Two princes and a newly-conferred princess fell off a cliff and their lives were unknown. Naturally, this incident attracted great attention from the Holy Dragon Temple.

Of course, the emperor's anger should not be underestimated.

After all, among these three, one is the emperor and empress's most beloved son, and one is Master Qingyuan's new disciple.

As one of the targets being hunted, Zuo Xinya was naturally taken away for interrogation.

I don’t know if it was because Helian Yun’s disappearance made her very sad, or if her acting skills were really good, but when she was questioned, she burst into tears, and even her eyes were red and swollen.

The matter has not been investigated clearly yet, and Zuo Xinya is also one of the victims. Although the emperor guessed that she was related to this matter, now is not the time to pursue these things.

He sent people to the bottom of the cliff to look for Helian Sheng and the other two, and also sent people to investigate the matter.

Because this matter was related to Duan Qingxi, Duan Sijin took the initiative to ask to investigate it personally.

The emperor also admired and trusted him very much. In addition, since he was not an official in the court, he would not be constrained by certain unspoken rules in the officialdom, so he agreed.

Duan Sijin's work efficiency was naturally extremely high, and he had figured out everything in just one day.

This matter was indeed related to Lord Zuo, but according to the information he found out, Lord Zuo did not seem to let those killers kill Helian Yun, but just wanted to injure them to prevent Helian Yun and Zuo Xinya from leaving.

As for why they suddenly decided to kill, it was probably because Helian Yun discovered the conspiracy of Lord Zuo and Zuo Xinya. There is an unwritten rule in the killer world that if the employer's information is leaked, then they have no choice but to kill.

And Helian Sheng...probably suddenly came across this incident, so he took the initiative to jump off the cliff to look for someone.

However, what made Duan Sijin very unwilling was that although he had found out the truth, the killers were already dead.

Either he was killed or he committed suicide, so there is no evidence to prove that this matter was a conspiracy between Lord Zuo and Zuo Xinya.

Plus... Lord Zuo has the Prime Minister behind him. Without solid evidence, it's best not to act rashly, otherwise there will be another bloody storm in the court.

The emperor was naturally very angry. Even though he had known the truth for a long time, he did not expect Lord Zuo to be so bold!

Duan Sijin also felt very uncomfortable. After all, Duan Qingxi was missing now, and he could do nothing.

The cliff is low.

Duan Qingxi added firewood to the fire while turning over the roasted rabbit on it.

The roasted rabbit would take some time to be ready. Since I was really hungry, I simply picked up some wild fruits nearby and started to eat them.

It has been a day and a night since they fell off the cliff. I guess many people are looking for them now.

Of course, this also includes Lord Zuo’s confidants.

They fell off the cliff and their lives were unknown, so the most nervous person was naturally Lord Zuo.

So Duan Qingxi didn't dare to wait in one place for others to find them. It would be best if they could walk back safely on their own.

But Helian Yun was too disappointing. He fell into the lake when he fell. Although he survived, he is still unconscious.
