The carriage ran all the way to the East Gate, and quickly got past it, driving towards the Eastern Suburbs of the Palace.
Passing through a forest, Qin Ruo suddenly smiled and asked,
"If the Princess really goes to find Lord Shen, then won't Lord Shen be annoyed to death?"
"That has nothing to do with this Prince."
Murong Ci said with a narrow smile,
"From now on if the Princess comes to me again, I'll just send her to Zhiyan."
"Good idea."
Qin Ruo smiled.
"Your Royal Highness, there is a man in front of the carriage who fell down and seems to be bleeding."
The coachman outside suddenly said.
Qin Ruo's face suddenly became cold, and she lifted the curtain to look forward,
"Should we stop and take a look?"
It was better to be cautious since they were in the suburbs.
Murong Ci asked the driver to slow down the carriage and looked out from the small window.
The man was lying on the side of the road, bleeding a lot.
"Stop the carriage!"
She urgently ordered and jumped out of the carriage, and Qin Ruo followed.
The man on the ground was about forty years old.
He was wearing an official uniform with a knife in his abdomen.
The blood ran out like spring water.
His official robe was dyed red, and there was a large pool of blood on the ground.
He was panting with his breath, as if he was about to die, and when he saw someone coming closer, he lifted his eyelids and glanced hard.
"Are you from the Military Supervisor Facility?
How could you get hurt by a knife?
Who hurt you?"
Murong Ci's face was dark,
'If only Shen Zhiyan were here, it would be fine, and at least he could stop the bleeding first.'
"I'm from the Military Supervisor...Chief Zhou Huai.
You are..."
the wounded said laboriously.
"This Prince is the Crown Prince."
She frowned,
"Did something happen at the Military Supervisor?
Tell me quickly."
"Someone has committed crimes... uh..."
Suddenly a flying dart as cold as snow stabbed him in the throat!
Zhou Huai tilted his head and died fatally, closing his eyes forever.
At the same time, Murong Ci stood up and turned around, checking the surrounding.
Not far away, where the large branches and leaves were luxuriant, she saw a fleeting dark shadow flash across.
Qin Ruo frowned and said,
"Your Royal Highness, this is a poisonous dart.
Could it be that Chief Zhou had found that someone had committed a crime in the Military Equipment Supervisor and was killed by them?"
Murong Ci nodded, staring at his corpse coldly,
"It seems that the water in the Military Supervisor is very deep."
"What's going on right here?
Should we really go to the Military Supervisor?"
"We won't go today.
Put Zhou Huai on the carriage, we're heading back to the Dali Temple."
After Murong Ci ordered, she got into the carriage.
"Yes."
Qin Ruo called to the coachman to lift the body up together.
Suddenly they heard the sound of a horse-drawn carriage from behind, and Murong Ci looked back from the small window.
The horse-drawn carriage was a bit familiar.
The carriage slowed down and stopped after half a foot past them.
As she saw a familiar person jumping off the carriage, she was shocked, and quickly retracted.
'How can it be so coincidental?
Why can I meet him everywhere!'
Qin Ruo was slightly shocked,
'What should I do?
What happens when the Regent sees Zhou Huai's body?'
Murong Yu's cold gaze swept over Zhou Huai's body, and the handsome man said:
"Your Royal Highness, do you want to come down or should this King come up to you?"
Murong Ci sighed helplessly, and slowly got off the carriage, but saw him go back and get into his carriage.
'What do you mean?
You want me to get in YOUR carriage?'
