C48

Yuwen Fei, you want to watch the show?

It was late autumn, and although it wasn't very cold during the day, it was still bone-chilling cold during the night.

If he had known that he would meet these two people after arriving in the capital, he would never have followed Second Uncle even if he was beaten to death.

"What are you guys looking for me for in the middle of the night?"

Lan Ling sniffed, looking at the three of them, they seemed to know what was going on.

"Tonight, an assassin came from Qing Lan Yuan."

"Ah?!"

Qing Lan Yuan Lan Ling also knew that it was Huai Jin's courtyard. When she heard that an assassin had come to assassinate him, her eyes widened in shock.

Huai Jin looked at him and furrowed his brows in silence.

When Lan Ling just recovered from the shock of Huai Jin's assassination, and saw Huai Jin's suspicious look, she knew that it must be because of the money dart.

But Lan Ling knew that it was definitely not her second uncle.

Curling his lips, Lan Ling mustered his courage and glared at Huai Jin.

"Why are you looking at me like that? I didn't do it." With that, he raised his voice and added, "It wasn't my second uncle who did it!"

Yuwen Fei did not know about the matter regarding the money darts, and only sat on a chair to the side and watched the two of them. After hearing Lan Ling's words of absolute certainty, she gently lifted her eyes and glanced at him, and suddenly asked: "How are you so sure that it wasn't Second Uncle who did it? Now, if Huai Jin dies, the biggest gain will be him. "

If Huai Jin died, the Xuanping Marquis would definitely rebel, and at that time, they would have no time to take care of themselves, much less Bei Ling's spies in the capital. Furthermore, if there was any internal conflict, Bei Ling would not need to spend so much effort to find the military secrets. No matter how one looked at it, Bei Ling's suspicions were the greatest.

"Last time at the palace, didn't I run away? My second uncle sent me a message saying that I can't touch her." Lan Ling muttered.

Hearing that, the two of them fell into deep thought, while Huai Jin became even more suspicious.

If Bei Ling had given up on trying to assassinate her for the sake of Lan Ling staying in their hands, then they would not have allowed Lan Ling to take the risk and attack them in the palace the first time. They definitely had a way to take Lan Ling's safety belt out after he was assassinated.

But why did he give up? Then who was the one who came to assassinate him today, and …

Huai Jin's face sank as she stared at Lan Ling. If Bei Ling's men could take Lan Ling away, then why did they fail to escape again and again?

"Why didn't you leave!"

Huai Jin suddenly asked coldly.

Lan Ling looked extremely confused, "Ah?"

Being reminded of this by Huai Jin, something flashed past Yuwen Fei's mind, but it was not strong enough to grasp onto his brain, so after thinking for a bit, he decided to give up.

After a while, Lan Ling realised what Huai Jin meant by that, and the wronged expression on her face became even more pronounced: "I do want to, ah."

Every time Second Uncle's people met with him, he would always want to run away with them, but every time, he would always come back with a body full of wounds. He also wanted to leave, and he really wanted to leave very much, but every time, it just so happened to be the case.

Huai Jin felt that there was something she did not know, but looking at Lan Ling, it seemed that he did not know either. Even after asking for a long time, she still could not get anything out of her.

At this time, Yun Jing, who had gone out to chase the black-clothed man, also returned.

"Did you catch up?" Yuwen Fei asked.

Yun Jing shook his head, and said hesitantly: "However, the last place that he disappeared to was in the direction of the Jin Mansion."

"It's the Prince Jin?!"

Ran Mei exclaimed.

Huai Jin and Yuwen Fei both shook their heads. At this time, anyone could go and kill Huai Jin, but Prince Jin was the most impossible. This was because the two of them understood that the Prince Jin had no relation with the Treason case, and that the Treason case had military power, but the Prince Jin did not have any military power, if she had any, she would not have cooperated with Huai Jin and coveted the Huai Family's military power.

And right now, both inside and outside the capital, because of the incident at the hunting grounds, discussions about Huai Jin and the Prince Jin were rife. If Huai Jin died, and someone assassinated him, if someone took the opportunity to spread the rumours that the Prince Jin had killed Huai Jin out of anger, her reputation would only get worse. After all, those rumors did not care whether the things you spread were true or not.

"Looks like someone is going to drag the Prince Jin into the water as well."

Yuwen Fei squinted his eyes, looking like he was watching a good show.

Sure enough, Yuwen Lie brought his men to Huai Jin's Princess Mansion early in the morning after he received the news.

When Yuwen Lie came over, Huai Jin was still lying under the blanket.

It was already late in the night after she finished interrogating Lan Ling, and adding that her left arm was injured, she could only lie down and sleep. However, she was not used to lying down, so she didn't sleep well for the entire night.

"Princess, the crown prince has brought the Stacha's Prime Minister Wu Si here."

Ran Mei stood at the door, knocked on the door, and lightly reminded her.

Huai Jin lazily replied as she let Ran Mei in to wash and change her clothes.

Ever since he knew that Ran Mei was someone sent by the Xuanping Marquis, she was the only person attending to him. At the very least, Huai Jin was certain that she wouldn't be any danger to him for the time being, but in the future...

Huai Jin half opened her eyes, looking at Ran Mei who was busy working around him in the mirror, she was lost in thought. Why did the original owner want to kill her grandfather? She still did not understand, if there was something between him and the Xuanping Marquis that could not be resolved, would Ran Mei still be so loyal to her?

She didn't want to guess, didn't want to try. This was because she knew very well that the human heart was often unable to endure probing.

"Alright, let's do it like this."

Huai Jin looked at her reflection in the mirror and stopped Ran Mei from inserting an empty orchid pearl hairpin onto her head. She was no longer in the palace, and there was no need for her to bring anything she did not like.

From the accessory case, he picked out a slightly more elegant pearl chai and casually inserted it on his head. Then, he used some makeup to cover the black circles under his eyes and Huai Jin stood up to welcome the guests.

Coming out of Qing Lan Yuan, she passed through a garden and a corridor, which was the front hall for the guests.

In Huai Jin's Princess Mansion, from the main entrance to the main hall, there was neither a wall nor an empty space. Instead, there were three manmade mountains overlapping each other, the moss on them were mottled with lush green, and there was even flowing water flowing down to the ponds below. There were a few golden carp reared in the ponds, and they swam happily inside.
