....
After coming out of the Qingyuan Hall, Murong Ci's rage exploded, but she was much calmer when she returned to the East Palace.
As the Prince of the East Palace, she had to endure what ordinary people couldn't bear.
The next day...
Murong Ci was about to eat lunch, and Qin Ruo hurried over with a heavy face.
"Something went wrong?"
Murong Ci's heart trembled, but her face remained unchanged.
"No. 3 was hung in the gatehouse of Chaoyang Street, and her corpse will be on display for three days."
Qin Ruo was even more worried about the impulse of the prince of making reckless actions.
"Murong Yu...!"
Murong Ci's hand holding the silver chopstick started to become blue with her veins violently bulging, and her bright eyes burst out with a chill.
"Your Royal Highness, don't be impulsive."
Ruyi persuaded.
"This Prince is going to go out.
I'll get changed now!"
Murong Ci walked briskly to her bedroom.
"Your Royal Highness, the regent is doing this to induce the killer's comrades to show up.
This is to draw the snake out of the cave.
His Highness must not be arrogant."
Qin Ruo persuaded with all her heart.
Murongci's eyes narrowed,
"Don't worry, this prince has its own measures."
Although No. 3 is the female killer she trained, she is only one of many subordinates, and they didn't have a close relationship.
However, they entrusted their lives to her, and she will be responsible for them to the end if they trust them completely.
She is temporarily unable to collect the bodies of the subordinates who have died...
She will look for opportunities, but not now...
Qin Ruo persuaded:
"Your Royal Highness, right now is the time when the wind is raging, and you really shouldn't go out of the palace. The regent used the corpse of No. 3 to make a fuss about us.
At this time, we can't throw ourselves into the net.
A few more days and this slave will send someone to grab the corpses of No.3 and the others."
Murong Ci nodded, but insisted on leaving the palace.
....
Chaoyang Street is the busiest and bustling city in Luoyang.
Today, people from all over the city gathered there to watch the scene.
Everyone looked up at the girl hanging from the gate, and talked a lot.
The girl was dead, her torn clothes were covered with black blood, and she had obviously suffered a lot.
"I heard that this girl was the female assassin who tried to assassinate the Regent that day."
"I don't know who this girl is and why she tried to assassinate the Regent."
"I heard it was from the doing of the Eastern Chu Kingdom.
Think about it, as long as our Regent... is dead, won't our Yan Kingdom be in chaos?
Eastern Chu Kingdom can attack and invade our Yan Kingdom."
"The emperor of the East Chu Kingdom is too cruel.
Fortunately, our Regent is hard to assassinate and nothing happened."
"How can anybody even think of trying anything on our Regent?
Not to mention his outstanding military exploits but no matter how powerful the assassin might be, he can't get close to him with his unique martial arts!"
"The regent is not only brilliant, but also handsome and strong.
He is the dream of any young lady.
If I can go to the Imperial Palace, I wish to serve the regent! Then I would never have regrets in life."
"Hey, what qualifications do you have to enter the palace?
I am more qualified than you are."
"Bah, as if! You're just a fish seller!
Why would the regent look down on you?"
"What makes you better than me?
You look pocky and disgusting."
"So noisy! Anyway, we don't have a chance to serve the Regent.
I heard that the Regent is full of anger, and the women around him will not end well."
"You mean, the evil spirit on the Regent will kill the woman next to him?"
"Think about it, how many people have died in the army when the Regent was ten years old, and he also killed one hundred thousand enemy bandits.
The Kingdoms of Eastern Chu, South Yue, and Western Qin gave him a title, 'The War Demon'. "
"I also heard that when other soldiers saw the crest of the Regent, they were so frightened that they flee."
"I'm not afraid! So what if the Regent is a 'war demon'?
He won't kill or eat people for no reason."
Standing in the crowd, Murong Ci sneered contemptuously as she listened to these vivid discussions.
She turned to leave, and walked for a while to see a buddy approaching.
The guy said:
"My lord, I'm the guy from the House of Deyuelou.
There is a guy in the private room on the second floor who wants to see you."
Murong Ci looked up the window of the second floor, but couldn't see the guy's face and barely could see a figure from there.
In the private room on the second floor, Murong Yu stood in front of the window with a leisurely style.
Looking at the gate tower from there, he could see everything clearly.
'Isn't it interesting for the prince to come all the way here to see the dead female assassin?', he thought.
Murong Ci couldn't imagine that the guy she barely saw turned out to be the Regent.
