Chapter 101 The Intention to Kill
After a while.
I saw a tall figure slowly walking out from inside.
Meet Xiao Tingye.
Mu Ying and Feng Mian both nodded slightly.
Yinchuan bowed and saluted, "Sir."
Xiao Tingye said "hmm" lightly and glanced at Feng Mian and Mu Ying.
In an instant, the two of them felt an invisible pressure, and a layer of fine cold sweat appeared on their foreheads.
"Come in." Lin Zhaoyue's voice came from inside.
Feng Mian and Mu Ying knew that the princess must be calling them, so they turned around and walked in.
Xiao Tingye looked at Yinchuan and said coldly, "You came just in time."
Yinchuan quickly shifted the blame: "Your Excellency, it was the princess's people who found it first. I just happened to run into them, so I followed them along."
[Yinchuan: It wasn’t me, I didn’t know, they were the ones who came to disturb your world of two first]
[Yinchuan is really scared after being beaten]
[This comprehension is amazing. Yinchuan, you will succeed in everything you do.]
Mu Ying and Feng Mian came in and said respectfully, "Your Highness."
Although Lin Zhaoyue looked a little pale and had been in a daze for a few days, her body and face were clean, and even her hair was neatly tied without a trace of disorder.
There was only an obvious injury on the shoulder blade, but it had been bandaged.
Although she was without makeup at this moment, she looked more morbidly beautiful than usual, and her coldness was even stronger.
Like the cool moon falling into the lake, it is within sight but out of reach.
Mu Ying was puzzled. The princess was so weak that she couldn't have healed herself. Could it be Lord Xiao?
Lord Xiao...did he even wipe the princess's body? And comb her hair?
Thinking of this, Mu Ying felt like her brain was fogged.
Lin Zhaoyue still looked a little unhappy. She could obviously walk now, but Xiao Tingye insisted on supporting her, which resulted in her stumbling and falling into his arms.
She suspected that he had done it on purpose.
"Princess, your injury..." Mu Ying was a little worried.
Feng Mian's eyes were also full of concern.
Lin Zhaoyue's voice was still a little weak, "It's fine now."
She asked, "How did you find this place?"
Feng Mian said, "We originally planned to search down the river, but the river has many tributaries. Although we sent people to every place, we couldn't find any clues about Your Highness. Finally, Ming Xi smelled your scent."
Mu Ying also said, "We followed the direction Mingxi pointed and indeed found you... and Lord Xiao. But we didn't expect to run into Yinchuan just as we were about to find you, so we came here together."
Lin Zhaoyue was puzzled: "Mingxi? Where are the others?"
Feng Mian: "He wanted to come with us to look for you, but I don't trust Ming Xi, so I didn't let him come."
Lin Zhaoyue asked slowly, "Has he been well-behaved during the days I've been missing?"
Feng Mian: "I have sent people to keep an eye on him. He hasn't seen anyone and nothing seems out of the ordinary. It was only after you disappeared that he seemed a little irritable, refusing to eat or drink, and almost hurting someone. It wasn't until I brought him out to look for you that he calmed down a bit."
"The reason why I don't trust him is because..." Feng Mian took out a token from his sleeve.
"This was found on the body of the assassin who tried to kill you. Your Highness, please take a look."
Lin Zhaoyue took the token handed over by Feng Mian, her eyes cold and stern, "Kingdom of Ten Thousand Beasts."
She had actually learned from the subtitles that the assassin had the token of the Kingdom of Beasts on him, and she also knew that everyone in the court and the country believed that it was an assassin sent by the Kingdom of Beasts who assassinated Princess Zhaohua.
So I wasn't surprised to see the token.
Feng Mian: "That's right. That's why I was worried that Ming Xi might have some tricks up his sleeve. That's why I didn't bring him with me and asked him to wait outside the valley."
"Did you leak the news that the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Beasts was the real culprit behind the assassination of me?" she asked.
Feng Mian was stunned for a moment.
He looked at Mu Ying.
How did the princess know that this matter had been leaked?
Although he was puzzled, Feng Mian still said respectfully, "Princess, we have never leaked this matter. Besides us, I'm afraid the only one who knows about this is the real murderer."
Mu Ying whispered, "Your Highness, I found out that the news came from the palace."
Lin Zhaoyue's lips curled up in a sneer.
His fingertips tapped lightly, "What's the current situation in the capital?"
Mu Ying: "Your Majesty hasn't yet punished the envoys from the Myriad Beasts Kingdom, but he has restricted their movements and placed them under guard in their residence. He said he'll make a final decision once he finds you. However, the ministers at court are extremely agitated and have been submitting petitions demanding an explanation from the Myriad Beasts Kingdom."
"Also... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is contacting several officials on your side." Mu Ying said hesitantly, "He's telling everyone that you're dead..."
Lin Zhaoyue's face showed no expression, she just listened calmly.
"However... the prince still secretly sent people to look for you, and he seems a little anxious." Mu Ying couldn't help but feel a little sarcastic when she said this.
Lin Zhaoyue said calmly, "Where is Xiao Tingye? Do many people in the capital know that he's missing?"
Mu Ying shook her head, "No one knows about Master Xiao's disappearance."
Lin Zhaoyue pondered for a moment.
The other party's target was not Xiao Tingye at all, and Xiao Tingye appeared extremely quickly, and in a short time he accompanied her down the cliff.
I'm afraid the person behind the scenes has no idea who accompanied her down the cliff.
Even if he knew, he probably wouldn't want to implicate Xiao Tingye.
If Xiao Tingye fell off the cliff and disappeared with her, things would only become more serious than they are now, and the court would be in greater chaos.
"Your Highness, are you going back to Beijing now?" Mu Ying stared at her wound.
Feng Mian said in a deep voice, "You need to go back and recuperate as soon as possible. Staying in a place like this is not conducive to the healing of your wounds."
Although Lin Zhaoyue had been injured before, it had never been this serious.
The two of them were obviously more worried about Lin Zhaoyue's health than anything else.
Lin Zhaoyue smiled, "Why not? If you go back now, you can catch a good show."
Outside the valley.
Another group of people arrived.
When Lu Chenzhou saw Mingxi and the soldiers who had been waiting there, he immediately dismounted.
He walked straight towards Mingxi, grabbed his neck, and asked sternly, "Where is the princess?"
Mingxi groaned, frowning slightly, but his face was full of sarcasm.
The look was as if he was looking at something ridiculous, full of contempt.
"You are the princess's ex-husband, right?" Ming Xi's voice was hoarse because his throat was strangled, but his tone was full of laughter. "The woman you like should be in prison. Why did you come to see the princess?"
Lu Chenzhou's eyes suddenly darkened, and he said coldly, "This prince and the princess are husband and wife. Who do you think you are? How can you question this prince? But you are relying on your beauty to seduce the princess. You will only bring disaster if you keep her. This prince will kill you for the princess today!"
His grip suddenly tightened! The veins on his fingers bulged!
