Chapter 1878: The Guilty Prince Ping
Hearing Yuwen Xuhong’s words, the pavilion master narrowed his eyes and asked in confusion,” So?”
Yuwen Xuhong carefully avoided the sharp blade and said,” Pavilion Master, can you let go of your sword first?”
The pavilion master thought for a moment, then removed the sharp sword in his hand.
Yuwen Xuhong saw that the sword was taken away and secretly relaxed. The nervousness on his face also relaxed a little, but he suppressed the anger in his heart and secretly swore that once he ascended to that position, the first thing he would destroy was the Yama Pavilion.
He was a descendant of the royal family, but he was actually threatened by a gangster with a sword. This was a disgrace to him.
In the future, he would definitely make this Yama Pavilion Master pay a hundred times the price for what he had done today.
“Tell me, what do you want to do? What plan do you have?” The Yama Pavilion Master seemed to not see the killing intent in his eyes. After releasing Yuwen Xuhong, he lazily leaned back on the chaise lounge.
Yuwen Xuhong said,” The only thing we can do now is to stop them from entering the palace to see the Emperor and divert everyone’s attention!”
“Stop them from entering the palace to see the emperor and divert everyone’s attention?” The pavilion master asked suspiciously,” I wonder if Your Highness has any brilliant ideas.”
Yuwen Xuhong’s eyes flashed with hostility as he said fiercely,” Crown Princess Consort!”
By the time Lin Yuelan grabbed the leader of the men in black from the roof, she and Jiang Zhennan had almost wiped out all the assassins. The rest were wiped out by a rescue team.
Seeing the man in black that Lin Yuelan had captured, the Crown Prince asked in puzzlement,” Princess, what are you doing?”
Lin Yuelan smiled and said,” One more witness means one more guarantee!”
Then, she pushed the person in her hand. The guards immediately grabbed him tightly and said,” This person is the leader of this batch of assassins! I believe we will be able to get a lot of information during the interrogation!”
Hearing Lin Yuelan’s words, the Crown Prince’s eyes lit up immediately. He looked very happy and said,” That’s good!”
Then, he ordered sternly,” Keep a close eye on him. If there’s even the slightest mistake, you won’t be able to bear the consequences!”
“Yes, Your Highness!” The soldiers replied in unison. Then, they tied the man up with rope locks.
At this moment, Prince Ping alighted from the sedan chair and asked anxiously,” Crown Prince, I heard that the culprit was caught. Is that right?”
When the Crown Prince heard Prince Ping’s voice, he frowned slightly. Disgust flashed in his eyes, but no one noticed it.
He replied,” Yes, Seventh Imperial Uncle. What’s the matter?”
Prince Ping’s face was filled with anger as he said furiously,” I want to see who is so daring to assassinate someone in broad daylight!”
Prince Ping ran up to the assassin aggressively. When he saw the black-robed leader tied up, his anger rose again. He was so angry that he seemed to have lost his mind. He cursed,” Beast!”
After saying that, he drew the sabre of a soldier beside him and stabbed the assassin.
Clang!
His movement was blocked by someone.
The tip of the blade was about to pierce into the leader’s clothes.
Lin Yuelan held the tip of the knife between her index and middle fingers. She looked at Prince Ping with a faint smile and asked,” Prince Ping, what are you doing?” After saying that, her eyes deliberately gestured at the knife between her fingers and said sharply,” Do you want to silence our witness?”
Prince Ping’s angry expression stiffened as he said unnaturally,” You… Don’t spout nonsense! This King… This king is too angry, so I can’t control my anger, so…!”
At this point, a guilty look flashed across his eyes. Then, he explained angrily,
“Princess, it’s not as serious as you say. This king didn’t do anything and didn’t know him. He isn’t anyone to this king. This incident wasn’t arranged by this king, so why would this king kill him to silence him? Princess Guguo, don’t malign this king. Otherwise, this king will demand justice from his royal brother! Hmph…”
Lin Yuelan nodded and said,” Oh, so Prince Ping would kill people casually when he’s angry. However, Prince Ping, why do you have a guilty expression on your face?”
Everyone was speechless.
Prince Ping was speechless.
Prince Ping defended himself stiffly,” This Prince… sat in the sedan chair and was worried for so long. When I heard that Princess Gu had taken down the leader of this assassination, I was furious and wanted to kill him to vent!” At this point, he deliberately added,” This King is definitely not trying to silence anyone!”
However, Lin Yuelan still wore a half-smile on her face. She said suspiciously,” Oh, is that so?”
