Yang Cuie suddenly shouted, "Your Highness, be careful!"
In a flash, Yang Cuie rushed toward Wu Ningde, because she discovered that an assassin was raising his hand, with what appeared to be some kind of hidden weapon strapped to his wrist.
However, when Yang Cuie rushed towards Wu Ningde, she stepped on a wine glass, stumbled, and crashed into Wu Ningde.
This collision sent Wu Ningde crashing headlong into an assassin's sword.
The long sword pierced through the prince's back.
Yang Cuie had no idea what was happening. She only felt a sharp pain in her chest as a long sword pierced through the prince's back and plunged into her chest.
Wu Ningde and Yang Cuie died just like that, both of them pierced through by a long sword.
The assassin who raised his hand was killed by the imperial guards before he could release the hidden dart from his wrist.
"Crown Prince!"
The emperor cried out in grief, "Quickly! Summon the imperial physician!"
This night was destined to be anything but peaceful.
Ah Li was kept in the palace. The emperor did not let her leave; he wanted her to be buried with the crown prince.
Because even in the end, his crown prince was thinking of protecting her.
The rabbit left at the inn by Ahri began to turn white, then a flash of white light, and she returned to her original form.
She looked towards the palace, as if she were having a very long dream in which she had personally killed those two people.
Now that the dream is over, her figure has slowly faded away.
However, a single, very clear tear fell.
Meanwhile, in another room of the inn.
Upon hearing that assassins had appeared in the palace, Li Haihuai was extremely anxious, like an ant on a hot pan.
The assassins who appeared tonight were sent by no one, had no identity, and no one recognized them. No one found any clues as to how they entered the palace.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Li Haihuai looked towards the door. Was that the waiter?
He didn't mention his return to the capital to anyone.
The next second, the person outside the door knocked and said, "Mr. Li, I know you're inside. I'm Liu Xu. Please open the door."
Willow catkins?
Li Haihuai opened the door, and Nan Sheng and Liu Xu were standing outside.
Nan Sheng said gently and politely, "Excuse me."
How did you know I was here?
Liu Xu took out a letter and said, "Xiao Wanli told us about it."
"How did she know I lived here?" Li Haihuai took the letter from Liu Xu's hand.
In the letter, Xiao Wanli told Liu Xu and Nan Sheng not to go to the palace banquet, without giving a reason. She also said that if she were trapped in the palace, they should come to Li Haihuai and that Li Haihuai should not act rashly.
Li Haihuai gripped the letter tightly in his hand and walked towards the room next door, where she had been staying during her time in the capital.
She rarely went out, rarely met with Nan Sheng and Liu Xu, and did not go to the academy recommended by Ren Pingsheng.
Liu Xu had visited a few times, and each time she said she wanted to focus on her studies and didn't want to be disturbed.
At that moment, the door to the room was unlocked and was easily pushed open.
Her luggage was still there, but Li Haihuai noticed that the rabbit was missing.
Nan Sheng said in a low voice, "Was she also involved in the assassin incident at tonight's banquet?"
"No way!"
Liu Xu quickly grabbed Nan Sheng's sleeve, "Nan Sheng, please don't think like that! Xiao Wanli is a scholar, she wouldn't do that!"
Nan Sheng is the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, in charge of criminal cases.
She doesn't easily draw conclusions about a person based on their appearance or daily behavior.
Nan Sheng glanced at Li Haihuai, then looked at Liu Xu, and said, "Tonight's events are too strange. The assassin appeared too suddenly. If Xiao Wanli is used by someone with ulterior motives, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Upon hearing Nan Sheng's words, Liu Xu and Li Haihuai both became serious.
Liu Xu was the runner-up this time, and she and Nan Sheng were both supposed to attend the banquet tonight, but they received the letter and didn't go.
At this moment, Li Haihuai noticed what appeared to be a letter under his pillow. He went over and took it out, but there was only an envelope; there was no letter inside.
However, his name was written on the letter.
Li Haihuai suddenly took out the letter Liu Xu had given him. It was different; the three characters "Li Haihuai" were different.
Li Haihuai suddenly asked, "Are you sure the letter telling you not to attend the banquet was from her?"
"What do you mean?"
Holding up the two letters, Li Haihuai pointed to the names on them and said, "See? The three characters 'Li Haihuai' are different. Someone deliberately told you not to go to the banquet. Someone wants to harm her at the banquet!"
Li Haihuai even thought of the rabbit that was poisoned back then, and the beans that were often found in the corner. The person behind it all never made a move again.
Where is her rabbit?
She set off empty-handed, without bringing any rabbits.
Li Haihuai looked around; he had noticed her rabbit was missing as soon as he came in.
I thought it was hiding, but it hasn't come out yet, so the rabbit isn't in the house.
"It might be inside the house, let's look for it."
After Liu Xu finished speaking, she and Li Haihuai started searching together.
At this moment, Nan Sheng asked, "But whose handwriting is the same as hers, and why would she do these things?"
