When did Jingqi slip away? With her master here, how could Jing Zhan leave so easily?

Could it be that what Feng Ningyan had just said about 'striking first is the best', Cao Tianshu!?

Shen You's hawk-like, vicious gaze shot towards Shen Lingjue.

Shen Ling Jue, on the other hand, had a smile on his face as he meticulously roasted the game on the stand in front of him.

With such a calm demeanor, Shen You Huang understood even more clearly that it wasn't him delaying Shen Ling Jue, but rather Shen Ling Jue and Feng Ning Yan deliberately trying to stall them.

Shen Youhuang cried out inwardly as she abruptly stood up and said coldly to Hua Ruyu, "Let's go!"

When Feng Ningyan saw that Shen Youhuang had finally been tricked, her heart was overjoyed. Judging from the time, Jingqi should have seen Qi Cang. She just didn't know if she was done yet and hadn't received any news yet.

She was afraid that she didn't have enough time for this game, so she quickly stood up and pretended to urge him to stay.

"Prince Cheng is leaving?" "The rouge and powder shop in Ningnan wouldn't have closed so early. What's the rush?"

Shen You Huang turned back and looked coldly at Feng Ning Yan. She grit her teeth and said, "Ruo Yu hasn't fully recovered yet and has been scorched by the smoke for half a day. Your lordship's heart hurts, do you really want Brother Wang and Aunt Wang to force us to stay?"

At this time, he suddenly heard a person jump out from the forest, loudly shouting: "Your Highness Duke Cheng, please wait! Your subordinate has just hunted a deer, it won't be too late to leave after eating."

Shen Youhuang turned her head and discovered that the person who'd come out carrying the deer in the forest was none other than Jingqi.

He couldn't help but be puzzled. Could it be that he was thinking too much earlier and Jing Qi hadn't left the forest yet? Where could he go after all this time?

Without waiting for Shen You Huang to ask, Shen Ling Jue turned his head and glared at Jing Qi, "I told you to hunt, where did you go?"

Jingqi smiled and threw the deer over to the soldier to clean and flay. He squatted beside Shen Ling Jue to add firewood, and said with a smile:

"The prince ordered his subordinates to beat up the deer for Prince Cheng and the imperial concubine to enjoy, but the forest by the official road was sparse and there were no deer to be found. "So, this subordinate went to the southern suburbs of Ningnan County and bought one for twenty taels of silver …"

Feng Ning Yan couldn't help but giggle. She thought to herself, 'What a nice disguise! There's even a wound on the deer's neck that was pierced by a dart. The blood had yet to dry. It was obvious that he had hit it.'

At this moment, Jing Qi casually said, "However, in the market, your subordinate heard that something major happened in Ningnan. Cao Tianshu, the dwarf killer from the Bloody Green Plum Manor, was robbed while escorting him to the death row. He had already escaped, causing the county governor to be extremely infuriated …"

"What?" When Shen Ling Jue heard this, his sword-like eyebrows slanted upwards as he said angrily, "This Qi Cang is too incompetent. Under broad daylight, sending someone to capture a prisoner's carriage? "If you run away and commit a crime, how will the magistrate court explain it to the people?"

Feng Ning Yan's face, on the other hand, paled, and her heart rose to her throat.

What was going on? Wasn't Jingqi going to help Qi Cang? Why was there such a thing as a death row being saved? Who knew how many people would die if Cao Tianshu escaped!

On the side, Shen Youhuang and Hua Ruyu looked at each other and rejoiced inwardly. They knew that Pei Shi had seen the opportunity and taken Cao Tianshu away with his men.

At this time, the two of them felt like they had eaten a tranquil pill. They did not panic.

Shen Youhuang was suddenly in a great mood and she tried to persuade Shen Ling Jue otherwise.

"Brother Wang, don't worry. Since County Governor Qi is able to capture Cao Tiansheng once, he will definitely be able to do so a second time." However, Brother Wang might not be in the mood to continue roasting game today. So, I shall take my leave with Ruo Yu. "

When Hua Ruyu heard this, she quickly took hold of Shen Youhuang's arm and smiled gently. "Your highness, chenqie really can't stand the smell of the smoke from the fire. Let's hurry up and go."

Shen Youhuang smiled as she patted Flower Rain's face. "Alright, then I'll take Your Highness to the city to buy some fashionable clothing materials and top-grade water powder. I'll also wash off the scent of fireworks on my body."

Looking at the two proudly getting on the carriage and leaving, Feng Ning Yan's heart was stifled. She quickly asked Jing Qi, "Did Cao Tian Shou really escape? "How could the runner be so careless!"

Jing Qi glanced at Shen Lingjue and couldn't help smiling. Using his hand as a knife, he made a throat slitting gesture.

Feng Ning Yan was overjoyed. "Dead?"

Jing Qi nodded his head and pouted at Shen Ling Jue's back, saying: "If he really escaped, then the one being skinned right now wouldn't be that deer, but me, Jing Qi."

"Oh!" Feng Ning Yan finally understood how Shen Ling Jue had said "help Qi Cang!" "So he wasn't trying to persuade Qi Cang to wait for the Ministry of Justice's orders. He was trying to tell him how to get rid of Cao Tian Shou!"

Shen Ling Jue stood up, using a brocade handkerchief to wipe off the wood dust on his hands, and lightly smiled: "This king doesn't know anything."

When Feng Ningyan and Jing Qi heard this, they couldn't help but laugh.

Not long after, Shen Youhuang and Hua Ruyu's carriage arrived at Ningnan County.

Hua Ruyu had thought that Cao Tianshu's matter had been resolved and had paid attention to the rouge and cosmetics shop by the side of the road along the way. She was still full of anticipation that Shen Youhuang would really accompany her shopping.

Unexpectedly, Shen Youhuang had gone to a restaurant and booked a room on the third floor and ordered a few dishes as she pleased.

After half an incense worth of time, a person brushed the curtain and walked in, bowing. "Your Highness!"

Shen Youhuang turned from the window and asked coldly, "How is it? Where is Cao Tianshu's current location? "

Pei Shi did not look up, his forehead was already covered in beads of sweat. Holding his fist, he nervously replied, "This subordinate originally gathered some brothers to take Cao Tianshu away, but … However, Qi Cang suddenly decided to escort Cao Tianshu to the death row. By the time his subordinate rushed there with his men, Cao Tianshu had already been taken away by another group … "

"Another group of people?" Shen Youhuang felt a chill run down her spine as she grasped at Pei Shi's collar in astonishment. "I've never sent anyone else!"

Pei Shi didn't dare to raise his head and look directly at Shen Youhuang. "Your subordinate brought people to search everywhere before finally finding Cao Tianshu's headless corpse on the riverbank five kilometers away … The ones who robbed the carriage, were definitely not our men … "

Hua Ruyu cried out, "Weren't you the one who led people to rob the prison cart?"

She heard Shen Youhuang slam her palm on several tables, anger written all over her face.

"Alright, Shen Ling Jue!"

He completely understood that Shen Lingjue was deliberately using the excuse of roasting the turtledove to hold them back, and at the same time secretly had Jingqi spread the news to Qi Cang, causing their own people to create a prisoner robbery. They took the opportunity to kill Cao Tianshu and blame it on the person who robbed the prison cart.

In this way, the 'execution' was carried out and it had nothing to do with Qi Cang. Shen Youhuang could no longer impeach him.

When Pei Shi heard Shen Youhuang curse Shen Lingjue, he finally understood what was going on. This time, he was played around by King Yu, Shen Lingjue.

When she thought about how Shen Lingjue's move not only killed Cao Tianshu, but also wiped out her responsibility while she could do nothing to them, Shen You Huang's fury rose. She raised her hand and flipped the table in front of her …
