C108 Part3

....

Immediately after releasing the arrows in his sleeve, the masked man with a gloomy expression went to catch the fake Yue Jing Chen.

Murong Ci did not evade, nor was she afraid at all.

She stood there calmly and calmly, watching the three short arrows hit at a rapid speed.

Shen Zhiyan was shocked.

When he was about to act, the Ghost Guard, Wuying had already rushed out with his long sword, blocking the short arrows, which were swept aside.

The Minister of the Ministry of Crimes and Justice and the Dali Temple Secretary Gu Huai wiped a sweat at the same time.

If the Crown Prince was injured, the guilt they would bear wasn't light after all.

The Ghost Guard, Wuying who had been waiting in the dark for that moment, then flew up and chased after the masked man.

After that, the Ghost Guard, Wuying came back to report:

"Your Highness, everything is under control."

Murong Ci nodded,

"It's time to close the net."

Shen Zhiyan's heart was agitated, seeing how His Highness had become more and more wise and stable, like a General.

'But, why are the Prince Regent's subordinates obedient to His Royal Highness?

Aren't they rivals?'

After a while, the masked black-clothed men who attempt to snatch away the prisoner were either dead or seriously injured, and most of them were captured.

The one who intended to assassinate Murong Ci was also severely injured and captured by the Ghost Guard, Wuying.

In the end, the ten survivors were taken to prison for another trial.

"Master Chen, these are comrades of the foreigner prisoner, who all secretly worked and plotted in our Country.

They are serious offenders of the Imperial Court.

You have to send more people to watch them carefully."

Murong Ci said sternly,

"If any of them escapes, you'll be hold responsible for it!"

"This Official obeys the orders."

The Minister of the Ministry of Crimes and Justice said tremblingly.

"Master Chen, no one is allowed to visit them.

His Royal Highness and the Prince Regent will interrogate them personally."

The Ghost Guard, Wuying said coldly,

"I will send additional personnel to defend the Ministry of Crimes and Justice and will make sure not to interfere with the Ministry."

"Yes, of course."

The Minister of the Ministry of Crimes and Justice nodded like a garlic.

The fake Yue Jing Chen was taken back to the Ministry Prison.

On the way back to the Imperial Palace, Shen Zhiyan asked worriedly:

"Your Royal Highness, are these the only accomplices of the Third Prince of the Southern Yue Kingdom? Won't there be more?"

After catching those people alive, Murong Ci was a little excited,

"Even if there are still accomplices, they are just minions. It's no concern."

He nodded and said with a smile:

"Your Royal Highness' deployment was quite subtle this time, and we should be able to obtain some information out of those people's mouths."

She sneered,

"It doesn't matter even if we can't ask them anything.

Yue Jing Chen is already dead anyway.

Once the leader dies, those people are like a disc of loose sand, and can't make any moves."

"I'm afraid that someone will look for opportunities to retaliate and assassinate Your Highness."

"Don't worry, I will be careful when entering and leaving the Palace in the future."

"By the way, about their corpses and the corpse of the Third Prince of the Southern Yue Kingdom, how does Your Highness plan to dispose of them?"

"This Prince hasn't thought about it yet."

Murong Ci frowned slightly:

The most important thing at the moment was that Murong Yu would wake up quickly.

Back at the Royal Palace, Murong Yu really hadn't woken up yet.

The matter had been handled almost, so she decided to go back to the East Palace first, and told the Ghost Guard to send someone to inform her immediately if the Prince Regent woke up.

That night, Murong Yu woke up and quietly listened to the Ghost Guard's statement of what His Highness had done.

She didn't let him down at all, and vigorously and resolutely cut Yue Jing Chen's head secretly, and took advantage of the opportunity of public execution to attract his comrades to show up and kill them all in one fell swoop.
