“Who have you come into contact with? Who told you to kill him?”
Su Qing asked when the girl’s eyes turned from madness to clarity. She was born with a cold face, and her stern face looked very scary.
The little girl shrank back in fear. Her mother was pinned to the ground by the guards and couldn’t move. She was also shocked when she saw the black bug in her daughter’s blood. Now that she saw that her daughter was afraid, she finally reacted and cried as she begged Su Qing,
Please let my daughter go. She doesn’t know anything.”
“She doesn’t know, but you do?”
Su Qing looked at the girl’s mother coldly. She felt that her crying was exaggerated, causing the people around her to point fingers and complain about her injustice. This was a woman who was good at using people’s hearts. “I… I don’t know either! We are legitimate merchants selling spicy lamb hooves here.”
The woman was stunned for a moment. She probably didn’t expect Su Qing to suspect her, but she immediately reacted and hurriedly explained.
Su Qing walked over and brushed her finger across the woman’s face. The woman looked at her nervously, and her body tensed up. Su Qing touched her ear and suddenly raised her hand. A thin mask was torn off the woman’s face.
It was a skinny face. Other than the skin, there was no flesh. Her eyes were malicious, like a vulture in the sky. Moreover, he was a man.
“Arrest him.”
The prince saw with his eyes that Su Qing had pulled a mask off the man’s face. His scalp went numb. How could there be such a thing? When he saw that it was a man pretending to be a woman, he found it even more unbelievable. The voice was so lifelike that it was difficult to tell if it was real or fake.
If someone were to disguise themselves and ambush him, he would not be able to discover them at all! Just thinking about it was too scary.
When the girl whose wrist had been cut saw that her mother had turned into a man, she was so scared that she covered her head and screamed, crying and calling her mother.
Su Qing had confirmed that a voodoo controlled the girl, but she couldn’t let her go now. Perhaps she was from a cult? Evil sects liked to use Gu worms and poisons to control their followers.
“Bring him back for interrogation.”
The prince ordered the guard to bring the assassin and the little girl back. The guard agreed and picked the man up from the ground and tied him up with a rope.
Su Qing followed the prince and continued to walk forward. They had just walked a short distance when they heard a scream behind them. Su Qing turned around and saw that the man in disguise had been shot in the throat by a poison dart. After he fell, the wound on his neck was covered in black blood and smelled extremely bad.
She ignored the man and quickly jumped onto the roof at the side. Looking down from above, she didn’t see the person who had suddenly run away. The person who killed the assassin should still be at the scene.
Search and see who has hidden weapons.”
Su Qing shouted at the prince, and the prince immediately ordered his guards to search. However, the problem was that he and his men wore casual clothes. The commoners did not give them any face at all. Once they went to search, they all ran away.
The killer must have been among the people who escaped. Su Qing looked for a long time because she could only see their backs. She could not determine who the killer was.
The same was true for the prince’s men. These people who had run away were all commoners. When they returned, their clothes were similar to their headbands. It was impossible to determine who the killer was.
Su Qing squatted down to check on the assassin who had been shot to death. He found that the Red Crane’s Top had poisoned him. The poison had already entered his heart, and there was no way to save him.
He was utterly silenced!
On the other hand, the little girl was not silenced. She was so scared that her entire body trembled as if she was shaking. She looked at the man who had died in front of her in horror. Her big eyes were filled with tears, and she looked very helpless.
“Let’s return to the palace first!”
The prince saw that he could not catch the killer and it was dangerous to stay there. He returned to the palace first and found the meat lingzhi mushroom for his benefactor. It would be best if she were willing to exchange it for it. Otherwise, the meat lingzhi mushroom would be his gift to thank her for saving his life!
” What’s going on?”
A patrol squad came over immediately. The leader pushed aside the onlookers and asked.
“He’s an assassin.”
The prince said to the captain with a cold face. The captain recognized it at a glance as the most favored prince, Natamu, and hurriedly came over to greet him.
“May God bless you. Are you alright, Prince Tamu?”
“I’m fine. Take the bodies and evacuate the crowd.”
The prince shook his head and pointed at the corpse on the ground.
“Prince, I suggest we put up his portrait as a reward to see if anyone knows him.”
Su Qing noticed the prince had little experience, so she reminded him.
“Yes, hang up the portrait and offer a reward for clues.”
After being reminded by Su Qing, the prince quickly ordered the squad leader.
“Yes, I’ll get someone to draw the portrait now.”
Seeing that his prince was listening to a foreign woman, the squad leader looked at Su Qing with a puzzled look. He put his hand on his chest and bowed to the prince before retreating.
The carriage continued to move towards the palace. Su Qing watched as the palace got closer and closer. The buildings were very ethnic. The domed houses and white walls were very different from the luxuriously carved beams and painted pillars in the Central Plains. Their houses were decorated in blue, which was very elegant and unique. It had a different style.
“Miss, we’re here. Please dismount.”
The prince jumped from the carriage and invited Su Qing into the palace.
They were all territories. When the princes grew up, they would be granted territories and live in their territories. Whoever could make the territory rich depended on their abilities.
The Kashgar Prefecture was under the jurisdiction of Tamu. He was considered a benevolent ruler. He did not levy taxes and enslave the people for his enjoyment, so he was very loved by the people in Kashi.
Walking into the palace and stepping on the soft carpet, the exotic atmosphere became even more intense.
When the prince returned to the palace, he anxiously asked about the princess consort’s situation. Other princes had several concubines, but he only had one and loved her like a treasure.
However, even the heavens were jealous of those who were too loving. His princess suddenly fell ill and was unconscious all day. Her lips were a strange black color. He found many famous doctors and finally a miracle doctor said that the princess had been poisoned.
Su Qing wanted to check on the princess consort’s condition. This prince was a good person. If she could cure her, she would do so as well.
Furthermore, she also wanted to know if the poison in this wangfei was the same as Li’er’s. Was it the same person?
Because Su Qing was a woman and her savior, the prince did not stop her when he saw that she wanted to follow him into the inner palace. He allowed her to follow him in. He had a vague feeling that the princess consort would be saved as long as his benefactor was willing to help.
Su Qing thought that the prince’s princess must be a Hui. Under normal circumstances, they were not allowed to marry other ethnic groups. However, when she saw the princess, she was stunned. This princess was a mixed-blood of the Central Plains and the Hui.
In other words, the Princess Consort had half the blood of the Central Plains.
How could the royal family allow this?
“Someone, bring the meat lingzhi over.”
The prince saw that Su Qing was sizing up the princess. To let Su Qing treat the princess, he first expressed his sincerity..
