At this moment, Yuwen Xuhong did not dare to make a sound again, not allowing her to send the assassin to the Emperor. He could only say angrily,” Indeed, he should be sent to Imperial Grandfather for interrogation!”
The man gritted his teeth and looked furious. It was unknown whether it was because of Lin Yuelan’s aggressiveness or the failure of his plan.
After his anger subsided, the uneasiness and fear in his heart continued to grow. He had a bad feeling.
Lin Yuelan nodded and said,” In that case, I would like to ask Your Highness to send this assassin to His Majesty.”
The Crown Prince replied,” Yes, I’ll get someone to prepare it immediately!”
Lin Yuelan nodded and instructed,” Your Highness, you must be careful!”
This assassin had attempted suicide twice and failed to kill him once. Thus, the best opportunity to strike was during the escort.
The Crown Prince said very seriously,” Yes, I will follow the Princess ‘instructions. I will definitely be careful!”
At this moment, Jiang Zhennan said,” Yue ‘er, do you want me to personally send him to the palace?”
This assassin was too crucial and important. Furthermore, he had countless methods to kill or be killed. If Lin Yuelan were not here, they would not have been able to defend against him.
Lin Yuelan thought for a while and said,” Okay, let’s go together then! At the same time, I want to explain my matter to the old emperor clearly!”
Originally, she wanted to go to Lin Yue Pavilion to investigate the Crown Princess Consort’s poisoning before entering the palace.
After all, there would be many accidents if there were too many people!
For example, the assassin had snuck into these ordinary people. If Jiang Zhennan had not been quick enough to catch the poisonous needle and pull the person out, they might have encountered even more trouble.
Just as the preparations were complete and the Crown Prince and the others were about to leave, the eldest grandson stood up and said to the Crown Prince,” Imperial Uncle, I’m not feeling well. I’ll return to the residence first!”
The crown prince immediately asked with concern,” Hong ‘er, where are you feeling unwell? I’ll immediately get someone to call the imperial physician!”
The eldest grandson immediately waved his hand and refused.” No need, Imperial Uncle. It is more important for you to send the witness to the palace first. After Hong ‘er returns to the residence, I will go and call the imperial physician!”
The Crown Prince thought about it and said,” Alright then. Since you’re not feeling well, have a good rest! This assassin, Princess Guguo and I will send him safely to Imperial Father!”
In reality, the last sentence seemed to be meant to provoke Yuwen Xuhong.
However, Yuwen Xuhong couldn’t lose his composure. He smiled stiffly and said,” Then I’ll have to trouble Imperial Uncle and Princess.”
After saying that, he left. However, before he left, he exchanged a glance with Prince Ping.
Their eyes revealed a meaning that only they understood.
Prince Ping rolled his eyes and suddenly shouted, “Aiyo!”
He held his waist with one hand, and his expression was one of pain and savagery. He kept shouting,” Ouch, my waist, it really hurts!”
