C51 Part2

....

The summer night was dark like ink.

The breeze couldn't dissipate the pervasive treacherousness and calculations of the people at night.

In a dark house in the city, a bedroom facing the backyard was dim and gloomy.

A candle was dimly lit and extinguishing in the corner of the room.

A man in a gray-brown robe was standing by the window, holding his hands, and breathing with a cold breath staring at the darkness outside.

With a creak, someone came in.

The person who came in was a young man in black.

He bowed his head and said,

"Master, she committed suicide by taking poison.

There should be nothing to confess."

"Count her smart,...otherwise I'd have to dig out King Rui's bones and whip corpses."

The voice of the man in front of the window was gloomy.

"She tried to assassinate the Emperor of the Northen Yan Country, and ruined our plan.

So she deserved to die.

The Crown Prince of the East Palace should have found nothing."

"No matter how clever the Crown Prince of the East Palace is, he can't find out now!

She is dead, and the case is over."

"Yes. Master, what should we do next?"

"That Ballad will be sung in the capital for a while, so I won't move.

I believe these rumors are enough for Murong Yu's headache."

"There hasn't been much movements in the Royal Palace of the Prince Regent recently."

The black-clothed man said in a puzzled way,

"However, he has been checking information about the Ancient Kingdom of Jialan without any interruption.

Should we try to stop him?"

"No. We can't find anything anyway, and so he can't find it out either.

It's just a waste of efforts."

The man's voice was low and cold,

"It is not a matter of tracing the Ancient Country of Jialan overnight, but I believe that Murong Yu will not have much time left to check."

"Yes, Master."

The night became more and more mysterious and deep.
