Chapter 1884: My Stomach Hurts

When Prince Ping heard that the crown princess consort had gone missing, his eyes darted around. Then, his expression became very anxious as he said,” Crown Prince, the crown princess consort has gone missing. This is a very serious matter. We should hurry back to the crown prince’s residence and find the crown prince’s consort first. It’s more important. What if something happens to the Crown Princess Consort?”

As he said this, his expression was one of urgency and concern.

Hearing that the crown princess consort was missing, the crown prince’s heart was also in a mess. He hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to do.

On one hand, it involved the rebellion of some people. On the other hand, his wife was missing. No matter which one it was, it had become a top priority.

At this moment, Lin Yuelan spoke up,” Your Highness, why don’t you return to the Crown Prince’s residence first and check on the situation? This princess and the two princes will bring this assassin to meet the old emperor.”

“No!” As soon as Lin Yuelan’s voice fell, Prince Ping’s expression became even more anxious as he tried to stop her.

Lin Yuelan looked at Prince Ping with a half-smile. Then, she asked with a puzzled expression,” Prince Ping, why not?”

“This...” Prince Ping only wanted to stop them from meeting the Emperor. Therefore, when he heard Lin Yuelan’s arrangement, he immediately stopped them. However, when Lin Yuelan asked him back, he couldn’t think of an excuse to stop them.

However, just as he was about to say something, the Crown Prince spoke up again. He said in agreement,” I think this arrangement is very good. Why does Seventh Imperial Uncle think it’s not good?”

Earlier in the court, he had already confirmed that Prince Ping was on Yuwen Xuhong’s side. Thus, he was no longer as close to Prince Ping as before. Regarding his objection, the Crown Prince naturally wanted to question him.

Prince Ping’s expression stiffened, and he said,” Crown Prince, the Crown Princess Consort’s disappearance is a very serious matter. We, of course, will go and look for the Crown Princess first. What if this drags on and irreparable consequences occur? What should we do?”

He paused for a moment before continuing,” Besides, since we’ve already captured these two assassins, he won’t be able to escape from us. We should go back to find the Crown Princess first and then send them to His Majesty. It’s the same, right? Crown Prince, don’t you agree?”

He thought that such an excuse could at least delay them for a period of time. However, he had obviously forgotten about Lin Yuelan, who was beside him.

When Lin Yuelan heard his words, she immediately sneered and said,” Prince Ping, what do you mean by this? Have you forgotten that one of these two assassins tried to commit suicide in front of everyone? So, can you guarantee that these two assassins will not be killed before the Crown Princess is found?”

At this point, she suddenly thought of something and said,” Oh, I remember now. Just now, Prince Ping seemed to have subconsciously picked up the large knife beside him and wanted to kill him. If it weren’t for this princess stopping him, perhaps Prince Ping would have really ‘angrily’ killed him!”

At this point, she paused for a moment and looked at Prince Ping with a suspicious expression. She asked in a suspicious and nonchalant manner,” Prince Ping, could it be that these two assassins have some kind of relationship with you that you almost killed them?”

Little Green promised,” Sister, don’t worry. Little Green definitely won’t let them find the Crown Princess Consort.”

” Mm.” Lin Yuelan replied,” Then I’ll leave it to Little Green.”

After Lin Yuelan finished communicating with Little Green in her sea of consciousness, she nodded slightly at Jiang Zhennan. Jiang Zhennan’s eyes flashed.

Prince Ping sat in the sedan chair, his heart burning with anxiety. He was angry, furious, and anxious.

He hated Lin Yuelan’s cunning actions.

They had really underestimated Lin Yuelan and her position in the Emperor’s heart.

According to the Emperor’s mentality, Lin Yuelan had hidden so many properties from the Emperor. In addition to her relationship with Jiang Zhennan, the suspicious Emperor must have been extremely suspicious of Lin Yuelan. When he learned of her deception, he would be furious and convict Lin Yuelan of the crime of ‘deceiving the Emperor.’ It was already a fact that was set in stone.

However, in reality...

Although Lin Yuelan was implicated in the poisoning of the Crown Princess, this case was handed over to the Crown Prince to investigate thoroughly. As for the matter of the five Hu brothers suing Lin Yuelan for owing wages, it took a huge turn after a few words. Instead, Lin Yuelan became the victim, and the five Hu brothers were taken away.

However, what was even more unexpected was that a jade pendant had implicated everything.

Now that things had developed to such a stage, the person who was supposed to be the mastermind was now completely passive. Instead, he had to speculate on Lin Yuelan’s next step and stop or guard against her shocking move before that.

Lin Yuelan was such a crafty and cunning woman. Every step she took was unfathomable. They could not predict her next move at all. This made it even more difficult to predict Lin Yuelan’s next move. This made it extremely difficult for them to turn the tables.

However, this time, if they couldn’t bring down Lin Yuelan and the Crown Prince’s faction, they would be the ones to die.

Thinking of this, Prince Ping gritted his teeth in hatred.

“Coo coo...” Suddenly, his stomach started to rumble. He touched it, and his eyes lit up. He immediately shouted,” Stop the sedan!”

Lin Yuelan frowned slightly when she saw that Prince Ping was about to cause trouble again. She then asked very seriously,” Prince Ping, is there anything you need?”

Prince Ping clutched his stomach and said,”I... My stomach hurts!”
