Shen Ling Jue did not move, allowing Feng Ning Yan to beat him and vent her anger.

After all, when it came to LuLu's life, any explanation would seem pale and unconvincing, even if it was unintentional.

On the other side, Jing Qi and the guards' faces turned yellow with fright when they saw that their prince had been beaten so badly by Wang Consort. They had never seen anyone dare to touch their prince's fingers.

However, without Shen Lingjue's order, they didn't dare to step forward and subdue Feng Ningyan.

When Feng Ning Yan's voice was hoarse and she couldn't move anymore, Shen Ling Jue held her tightly.

"Are you done fighting!?"

Feng Ning Yan struggled, but didn't have any strength left.

"You bastard …"

Shen Ling Jue said coldly: "This king regrets the death of Lu Ruo. If beating me can ease your pain, I definitely won't frown. But you have to understand that this trap wasn't tailored for anyone. It existed even before our wedding. "

Hearing Shen Ling's emotionless tone, Feng Ning Yan turned her face away, unwilling to look at him.

"Hua Ruyu is right, you are truly cold-blooded and heartless …"

Only then did Shen Ling Jue understand that Feng Ning Yan's sudden appearance at the Star Platform was due to Hua Ruyu's provocation.

"Leng Xue Wuqing …"

He laughed at himself.

"After lunch, in the chrysanthemum garden, you advised This King to fight for the imperial authority. This King thought that you were very clear that being merciful to your enemies is just being ruthless to yourself. "

"Green Ruo is innocent!" Feng Ning Yan couldn't help but roar.

Shen Ling Jue's eyes became cold: "Innocent? "The fake《 Records of Organs》 has always been placed in the secret compartment. No matter who covets the Ten Thousand Buddha Pavilion and wants to steal the《 Records of Organs》, they will be tricked."

After saying that, he held Feng Ning Yan's hand and walked to the balcony. He pointed at the Thousand Blessings Pavilion that had returned to silence.

"This King does not want Lu Ruo's life, but to give the enemy a strong deterrence! The reason that Lu Ruo was silenced was because she betrayed you and me first. Even if she had the slightest hesitation and decided to discuss with you, she would not take the consequences for herself! If Luoluo had stolen the real "Bureau of Organs", would you still think she was innocent? If the one who died wasn't her, but the enemy, would you still feel innocent? "

His words were sharp, and he exposed the truth in a ruthless manner.

Feng Ning Yan felt as though she had been struck hard. Her ears were ringing and she almost fell down.

Shen Ling Jue hurriedly supported her, his heart aching as he looked at her pale face.

"Regardless, This King should still say something to you. I'm sorry."

His words were like an alarm bell, ringing in Feng Ningyan's ears.

She finally understood that on the path of plotting to ascend the throne, not only Shen Ling Jue and her would have to undergo an immeasurably difficult trial, but also the people around them.

Loyalty, good and evil, strong and weak, wise and foolish... In this battle, everything was exposed.

However, Shen Ling Jue's scheming and scheming, and his heartless response to the enemy were not wrong.

Feng Ning Yan was silent. When she understood that Lu Lu had truly betrayed her, she didn't know what to do.

Seeing that Feng Ningyan had finally calmed down a little, Jing Zhan hurriedly stepped forward to interrupt her.

"Your Royal Highness, do you still want to continue listening to these assassins?"

Shen Ling Jue gently patted Feng Ning Yan's back, and seeing that she wasn't moving, he gestured for Jing Qi to continue reporting.

Jing Chanzi said, "There are a total of 50 assassins in black, divided into 5 groups to attack the Ten Thousand Buddha Pavilion. Miss Luo had opened the mechanism of the Thousand Blessings Pavilion, and these assassins had suffered a lot of casualties. Finally, the last batch of people left in the courtyard sensed that something was wrong and shouted for them to retreat. "

Shen Ling Jue asked: "How many people were left alive? Did you interrogate them? "

Jing Qi shook his head regretfully: "On the four of them, our subordinates did not manage to find anything. All we could hear was that they used the language of the Southern Wilderness when they retreated. After being fed the Gut Cutting poison, the other party suddenly suffered an attack from the insect poison and died a tragic death. I have invited Mister Long to come look. Mister Long said that the poison came from Miao Village in the Southern Wilderness. "

Shen Ling Jue's eyes became cold: "Southern Wilderness Miao Village? It's the Southern Wilderness again. "

"The southern border …" When Feng Ningyan heard the two words "Southern Wilderness", she immediately regained her consciousness.

Shen Ling Jue lowered his head, and saw the wariness and fighting spirit in Feng Ning Yan's eyes, and his heart ached slightly.

She had been guarding the southern gate of Da Su Country and facing the border army of Southern Wilderness for so many years. She would probably wake up when she heard the words' Southern Wilderness' when she went to sleep …

Jing Qi doubtfully said, "The assassins of the Pingping Inn, the killers of Li Yu and the people here today are all definitely the crown prince's men. However, he couldn't find any hidden weapons that could kill Li Yu. Instead, we have no proof that they are the Crown Prince's men. Now, all of the evidence is directly towards the Southern Wilderness. Is the crown prince trying to blame the Southern Wilderness? "

Feng Ning Yan said flatly, "No, the Southern Wilderness is an enemy country. It's always quarreling with Big Yue, so there's no need to blame them at all."

Shen Ling Jue also had some misgivings, "What this duke is most worried about is the Feng Family. If the killers were to train in the Southern Wilderness, then they would be poisoned by the Miao Family's Gu poison, which could be explained. However, the Southern Wilderness is too close to the Feng family and the army in Ningnan. This duke must personally go to the Southern Wilderness to investigate these clues in order to prevent anyone from deliberately framing General Feng. "

"You want to go to the Southern Wilderness?" Feng Ningyan was stunned, "You are only a Royal family of the Great Su Nation, how could you go so deep into the heart of the enemy kingdom!? Do you know how dangerous it is? "

She still remembered when he'd snuck into the capital of the Southern Wilderness in order to investigate the case of Feng Wei. He'd almost lost his life after returning with serious injuries.

Shen Ling Jue slowly let go of her, "It's not like I'm going to beat the drum. There will always be a deal between the two countries, I can disguise myself and secretly go there."

Feng Ningyan lowered her head and coldly said, "I know you have a way to infiltrate the Southern Wilderness. However, the people of the Southern Wilderness are valiant and rogue, and they hate everyone from the Great Yue State. Once we are exposed, it will be very difficult to move even a single inch in the Southern Wilderness. "

Seeing that she would still be worried about his safety, Shen Lingjue knew that she had already thought things through with regard to the Green Ruo matter. He could not help but feel a lot more at ease in his heart.

"Jing Qi and Chu Zhao, come with me, don't worry."

Only two people? With such arrogance, it was no wonder he was heavily injured in his previous life.

Feng Ning Yan glared at him, and angrily turned her head away, no longer paying attention to him.

At this time, a guard rushed over and reported, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince and Prince Cheng have led a group of imperial guards to the entrance of the palace and have received a secret report that an assassin from the Southern Wilderness has trespassed into Prince Yu's manor. In order to protect the Emperor's safety, they have come to arrest the assassin."

Feng Ningyan clenched her fists. "The Crown Prince has actually called these people assassins from the Southern Wilderness. He's bringing the Imperial Guards to capture these assassins. That way, he can openly take away his own people and even claim credit in front of the Emperor."

Jing Qi smiled, "It's a pity that he won't be able to take a single one away."

Shen Ling Jue walked downstairs with his hands behind his back, "Come, let's meet my Big Brother Crown Prince."

When the three of them arrived at the manor gates, they saw torches burning brightly outside. The crown prince was riding his horse and standing in front of the imperial guards. He looked like he was about to force his way in if they didn't open the gates.

Shen Youhuang looked quite nervous as she stood next to the Crown Prince.

Shen Ling Jue walked to the entrance of the Palace, coldly looked at the surrounding Imperial Guards, and laughed:

"His Highness the Crown Prince had sent out a few Imperial Guards at night to surround King Yu's estate. Wouldn't that weaken the security of the imperial city?" I wonder what kind of huge matter would alert His Highness the Crown Prince and the Imperial Guard to the fact that you guys are ignoring royal father's safety? "

"You used your father to bluff me!" The crown prince raised his eyebrows and pointed his horsewhip at Shen Ling Jue from afar, "Hurry and get out of the way, I want to catch the assassins!"
