Kill me if you can (23)

Shen Tang teased Yun Sheng for a while, but when she heard Mu Jin's last name, she looked like she wanted to kill him, which frightened her so much that she quickly changed her words. This guy's hostility towards Murong Jin is really huge.

"So, are we confirmed in our relationship now? I kissed you, and I will definitely take responsibility!" Yun Sheng was like a young boy in front of Shen Tang. He wanted to raise his hand and swear to the sky. He had thought a lot about Shen Tang. If he had just wanted to atone for his sins and offset the sins he had committed, then what he wanted to do most now was to marry the person in front of him!

He saw that other people had a choice between killing and not killing, but Shen Tang was different. He didn't want to kill her, he wanted...

Yun Sheng blushed again and leaned his head on the man's shoulder awkwardly. He inhaled the scent of the medicine and felt it smelled better and better. He really couldn't understand what he was pretending in the past. With a beautiful woman by his side, all he thought about all day was fighting and killing. He had killed someone by mistake because of a conscienceless guy. Fortunately, God gave him a chance to make amends so that he could do something for her.

"You don't have to be responsible for me. I won't live to see you get married." Shen Tang smiled, "But I also told you clearly that I never liked Murong Jin from the beginning to the end. You don't have to be hostile to him. If you really want to be responsible for me, then help me."

"Help me bring the prince down from the stage," Shen Tang slowly leaned close to Yun Sheng's ear and said the last sentence. Her charming eyes were filled with smiles. She seemed very sure what choice Yun Sheng would make.

Yun Sheng looked at the girl in front of him seriously, and finally replied slowly, "Okay, I can help you." He was not doing this for Murong Jin. If it weren't for Yun Sheng, he wouldn't even want to care about that person's affairs.

During the conversation between the two, several imperial doctors passed by and walked away quickly with red faces when they saw the two being intimate. Shen Tang did not expect that it was because of this action that when he returned to the capital not long after, rumors spread everywhere in the city that the reason why the eldest son of the Jiang family had not married at such an old age was because he had a good relationship with both men and women. There was even a housekeeper who sent a young and beautiful girl to please Shen Tang. Yun Sheng was so angry that he stripped the person naked on the spot and threw him into the mass grave.

After getting Yun Sheng's answer, Shen Tang finally breathed a sigh of relief. She was wondering why she had to work so hard to help Murong Jin, but it turned out that this guy had been obstructing her.

"Master, the carriage is here!" After waiting for a long time, Lu Ya finally called the driver and the carriage over, and waved happily when she saw Shen Tang. Shen Tang glanced at Yun Sheng lightly, and the other party held her fingertips and exerted a little force. Before Shen Tang could react, Yun Sheng picked her up and carefully put her into the carriage.

Lu Ya knew that her young lady was in poor health, but she did not think that there was anything wrong with Yun Sheng's behavior. She even shouted from behind, "Guard Yun, be careful. My young master is weak, please don't put pressure on him!"

When exiting the carriage, Yun Sheng seemed to be afraid of frightening people, so he said a few words in a gentle tone, "Don't worry, I'll be by your side and won't let anything happen to you."

After saying this, he left the carriage and sat on the long wooden bench outside, leaning against the door. Seeing her young lady getting on the carriage, Lu Ya heaved a sigh of relief, but when she got closer to the carriage, she immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Guard Yun, why are your lips so..." Lu Ya asked halfway, but she didn't ask it in the end. The color was so similar to her young lady's rouge. Lu Ya looked at him suspiciously, then slowly got into the carriage. As soon as she got into the carriage, her eyes involuntarily fell on her young lady's lips.

Seeing her young lady's slightly swollen lips, Lu Ya still shut her mouth obediently, but she couldn't help but glance at Shen Tang and Yun Sheng outside. Shen Tang naturally noticed Lu Ya's eyes, and she reached out and patted her head gently, "Okay, put away that little look of yours, and don't let my dad see it later."

Before leaving Jiaobei Village, Murong Jin had already found out the source of the disease from Liu Han. It was his good nephew who had drugged the wild boar when the hunter brought it down the mountain. If it was the old master of Qianji Pavilion, he would not leave drug residues behind. Unfortunately, most of his men's actions were directed by the prince, and the old master of Qianji Pavilion was only responsible for the assassination midway, and had no idea what his pig teammate had done. Murong Jin not only found the drug residue that caused the disease in Liu Han's house, but also found the letter sent by the prince to the woman. Only then did he rush to the capital after sending the message of his fake death.

If she traveled faster, she might be able to meet Murong Jin and his group before returning to the capital. In the last mission world, although she died early at the hands of Yun Sheng, Murong Jin soon found the source of the disease, but at that time there was no fake death rumor. After Murong Jin exposed the prince's plot, he not only controlled the spread of the disease, but also gave justice to the Jiang family, which saved Yaoge from disaster. The prince's actions also made the old emperor furious, and he abolished the prince's position in a rage, which gave Murong Jin the opportunity to regain the position of prince.

If the plot could develop normally, Murong Jin would probably report the prince's affairs to the old emperor after returning to Beijing, and the old master of Qianji Pavilion's plan would fail. As for whether the old emperor would believe the rumor, it would probably depend on whether the prince would make an effort.

Shen Tang and his group packed their belongings and soon set out on their return journey in a carriage. However, at this moment, there was turmoil in the capital.

"Your Highness, I heard that something happened to the Third Prince," a hoarse voice came out slowly, and an old man in a tarpaulin appeared out of nowhere in the prince's bedroom.

Murong Wu stood up and hurriedly went forward to let the old man sit down. "I didn't expect Murong Jin to be so careless and actually fell for it. It seems that I overestimated him. He is just a third prince and will never be able to achieve anything."

Murong Wu laughed heartily as he spoke, "Your help is indispensable to this, old sir. Don't worry, when the old emperor passes the throne to me in the future, I will definitely reward you!"

The old man listened to the words of the prince in front of him, his eyes gradually filled with greed. Qianji Pavilion had a great reputation in the martial arts world, but he wanted far more than that. The affairs of the court, even a share of the pie would be enough for ordinary people to live for several lifetimes. With the opportunity in front of him, how could he stop?

The old pavilion master smiled sinisterly, and when he saw Murong Wu taking the wine from the bedroom and was about to drink it, he stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Although Murong Jin is dead, we must avoid further accidents. Your Highness, why don't you..." The old man made a gesture on his neck with his hand, smiling, "Your Majesty is old now. Even if the Medicine Pavilion develops a prescription to cure the epidemic, it is poisonous. Your Majesty may not be able to withstand it."

"You mean," the prince frowned and thought for a while after seeing the gesture, "to seize the throne in advance?"

"No, no, this is a crime of patricide and regicide!" Murong Wu refused without thinking. Although he was stupid, he would lose his head if such a thing was discovered!

"Your Highness, don't panic. I have a medicine here. Once you take it, your internal organs will gradually rot within seven days, and no one will be able to detect it. The Third Prince is dead. If you let Your Majesty take this medicine, only heaven and earth will know, you and I will know, but who else will know it?"

"One dose of medicine can save decades of accidents. Your Highness, don't you really want to consider it?"

Murong Wu froze for a moment, but he was somewhat moved. "Sir, are you absolutely sure?"

"Of course." The old master stroked his beard, with greed in his eyes growing brighter.

"Then it's as you say," Murong Wu laughed, feeling overjoyed at the thought that he could inherit the throne without having to wait until the emperor died of old age.

After the two of them had discussed everything, they went their separate ways. However, they had not expected that the secret, which they thought was flawless, had already been known by Yun Sheng who had returned from his journey.

As the carriage was moving, Yun Sheng sat calmly in front of the carriage, with the bamboo flute beside him leaning against the door, as if afraid that no one would see him. Yun Sheng's status in Qianji Pavilion was not low to begin with, and now that he was sitting here brazenly, the assassins who wanted to attack the people in the carriage had to consider their own strength. After all, Yun Sheng was able to become the deputy in charge of the Pavilion Master, not by relying on favors, but by the accumulation of the lives of his subordinates.

If they snatched away the person Yun Sheng had set his sights on, they would probably be killed by him before they even met him.

Taking this into consideration, the black-clad assassins who were staring at Shen Tang gradually withdrew from the trees around the carriage where Shen Tang was, and naturally did not notice when Yun Sheng caught a carrier pigeon from the air.

After untying the letter under the pigeon's feet, Yun Sheng slowly unfolded the paper, squinted his eyes to scan the handwriting on it, and soon revealed a faint smile.

You are just as impatient as before, Pavilion Master.

Yun Sheng calmly read the letter in his hand, his dark eyes filled with coldness. The old master of Qianji Pavilion and the prince had conspired to kill the king before, and when the matter was exposed, the old master hurriedly pushed all the blame onto him. If he had not been in the capital at that time, he would have been blamed.

Since the old master was unkind before, don't blame him for being unjust.

The man slowly raised his eyes, asked Shen Tang for paper and ink, then wrote a new letter, tied it to the pigeon's leg and let it fly away. This time he wanted to see what would happen to their plan if Murong Jin knew about this in advance.

"Did something happen?" Seeing Yun Sheng borrow paper and pen, Shen Tang guessed that something must have happened, so he pulled open the carriage door and stuck his head out to ask.

The frost in Yun Sheng's eyes disappeared instantly after he saw the little girl's face. He moved closer to the door of the carriage and said, "It's windy outside. Don't get too close or you'll catch a cold."

Shen Tang had no choice but to retract his head and looked at him with a pair of sparkling eyes, "Could it be something about Qianji Pavilion?"
