....
On this day, Murong Ci leaned lazily on the chaise couch without saying a word until dusk.
Qin Ruo rushed in, looking slightly flustered,
"His Royal Highness, something has happened."
Murong Ci bluffed and jumped up,
"What's the matter?"
"The Willow Leaf Alley and Peach Flower Alley have been cleared up."
Qin Ruo said gravely.
"What?"
Murong Ci suddenly stood up, his eyes flickering,
"Murong Yu did it?"
Qin Ruo nodded solemnly.
*SNAP*
Murong flicked his sleeves heavily,
"Ruyi, help me to change my clothes."
Qin Ruo persuaded:
"His Royal Highness, you can't go out at such a moment! It's too risky!"
Ruyi gave her a wink, which meant to say:
'Who can stop or change something that His Highness has decided?'
Not long after, Murong Ci dressed up as a woman, put on a veiled mask, and walked to the study.
There is a secret passage in the study that leads directly to the outside of the palace, and every time she secretly leaves the palace, she goes out through the secret passage.
'How could they detect the position of the Peach Flower Alley?'
The private house of the Peach Flower Alley is very ordinary.
From the outside, you will never find anything hidden inside, so the only explanation was that they successfully got killer No. 3's confession.
......
The house was messy and dirty.
It was obvious that a fierce fighting had taken place there, but the corpses of her people were all cleaned up, leaving only black blood stains everywhere.
This place is the result of her five years of business, and is used to train female killers, just like the house in Willow Leaf Alley.
Unexpectedly, her failed plan had buried most of her people at once.
Suddenly, tears burst into her eyes.
She clenched her fists and the joints snapped.
'Murong Yu!'
Then a sudden noise startled her.
Murong Ci flew up to the roof quickly, when she saw a person standing by the wall below.
The black and vast figure of a man appeared from a cold wind of March, and the fair face was as cold as iron.
'Murong Yu!'
....
He did not move, nor did she move.
She had to admit that the handsome features of his iron-like face and the blood on the battlefield, made him look harsh and tough, and that was the kind of brutality and cruelty that belonged to the army commander which was also something she would have never had told of herself.
Murong Yu remembered her appearance. She was the cold and charming woman he had spent the last night with.
Under the shining sunlight of spring, she was even more beautiful and brighter than last night.
"Can the girl tell her name to this king?"
Recalling the ecstasy of last night, his muscles and bones became soft and his heart surged.
He laughed at himself, but he didn't expect that he would one day.
"You just need to remember that one day, we will use your head as a sacrifice for our tribe."
Murong Ci seemed to smile, but her heart was full of ice and snow.
"That's the honor of this king."
Murong Yu's black eyes burst out with a sharp light like a falcon,
"Are you a native of Eastern Chu?"
"........"
"Whether I am or not, it doesn't matter!"
She understood everything.
Killer No. 3 must have confessed the position of the Willow Leaf Alley and Peach Flower Alley, and then must have claimed she was a native of the Eastern Chu State, and he had believed it....
"Why don't you think about it? How about becoming this king's w-"
"You offer your head first and I might think about it!"
She interrupted his shameful proposition.
Murong Yu laughed lowly,
"If you are pregnant with this king's child, you can come to the Royal Palace to find me."
Murong Ci sneered sarcastically,
"If I have your child, you should go to find them to hell!"
He smiled calmly,
"Sure enough, you are an extraordinary woman, and this king loves it even more."
She was about to dash away, when she suddenly saw him flying like an arrow.
She couldn't help being frightened and rushed quickly.
However, she underestimated his speed and was caught up by him soon.
Murong Yu clasped her right shoulder, wrapped her in his arms, and landed on a secluded street.
"Let go of me!"
Murong Ci was about to vomit blood from being molested in the street.
"If you wanna leave here today, you must tell me your name first."
He pinched her chin, and looked down to her with his evil eyes as sharp as swords.
"I didn't see it clearly last night. Let me take a closer look at you now."
She suddenly raised her leg and kicked under his waist, with great force.
His response was very quick. He backed away, and smiled evilly,
"The girl is still thinking about the wonderful ecstasy that she had with this king? "
"As long as you go back to this king..."
"Indecent! Shameless!"
Murong Ci cursed him in shame.
She had never seen anyone as shameless as him.
*SHOOOO*
The two hidden weapons that appeared out of thin air attacked Murong Yu, and he immediately avoided them.
Then, with a "bang", the smoke filled everything, covering everything.
He predicted that something was wrong, and immediately flew up, but there was no sign of the girl anymore.
He curled his lips coldly. It turned out that the girl still had companions.
Several kinds of torture were used before the female assassin confessed, but was the assassin really sent by the Eastern Chu Kingdom?
'Does the assassination really have nothing to do with the Crown Prince?'
...
It was Qin Ruo who arrived in time and saved Murong Ci.
As soon as Murong Ci returned to the East Palace, Ruyi greeted her.
Her eyebrows were filled with panic,
"His Royal Highness, the attendant in the Qingyuan Hall is here to report, Your Majesty has severe hemorrhage."
"What?"
Murong's heart was shocked, and there was a momentary blank in her mind,
"When did that happen?"
"He came here half an hour ago to report."
"Quickly change clothes for this prince."
She quickly entered the sleeping hall, and Ruyi followed in.
......
After changing clothes, the master and servant hurried to Qingyuan Hall.
Qingyuan Hall is the palace of the emperor, and it is not a short distance from the East Palace.
At this time, at the Qingyuan Hall, a group of servants and maids were waiting outside the hall.
Six imperial physicians had an urgent consultation in the main hall.
In the room, there was also Concubine Xiao, the imperial concubine.
Concubine Xiao was sitting in the main seat of the north head, drinking tea peacefully.
The waiter outside the Qingyuan Hall stretched out his voice and announced:
"The Crown Prince is here."
All the palace people and six imperial doctors bowed and saluted.
Concubine Xiao slowly came down with the support of the close palace maid Taozhi.
A beautiful goose egg face slowly stained with anxious and worried look.
