She didn't fully grasp the truth of the matter. She didn't know the purpose of the Huns who had been stabbed to death by Shen Yin in order to go to the harem, and who was the mastermind behind all of this.
Anubis looked like he really didn't know, but he was trying to cover up. Was he a man from the Central Plains who was hiding in the prairie? Or some other force?
She had clearly cut off Princess Rong Qing's path of buying children, so where did those children come from?
However, none of this was important.
She had Mu Qin stuff the Magic Cube into Du Lang's hands and place it in the cellar of the princess' mansion. She instructed Mu Shu to tell her to knock out the secret guards she had tied up in the princess' mansion and then throw them back to the princess' mansion to wait for the imperial court to take over.
He told them how to open the secret passageway. After receiving the signal from her in the palace, he started to move. He opened the secret passageway in the cellar and used his lightness skill to find an opening in the secret passageway in Princess Rong Qing's sleeping quarters.
This was also the reason why Princess Rong Qing was shocked when she heard that the noble official had discovered something in her bedroom. The secret mechanism of the secret passage was concealed, so how could a simple search find it?
Unfortunately, the secret passage was open to begin with, making it difficult for anyone to find it.
By mixing the details of the unrelated case with the clues, Lu Jinjian remodeled a reasonable truth.
This truth was not the truth. However, other than Princess Rong Qing turning the car around, it did not touch upon anyone's bottom line. It was a truth that everyone could accept.
”Ah Jin, that trick, Shui Dongliu. He used it well.” ”Since the Huns have set their eyes on the thing that was stolen from the palace, in order to prevent the Huns from attacking again, and also as a sign of goodwill between the Huns and the Xuan Kingdom, His Majesty will certainly give it to the Huns.”
”Since the case has been closed, those who wanted it could easily find out the details. Naturally, those who wanted it would seek out Anubis. That was what A-Jin's plan from the beginning.”
Lu Jinnian declined to comment, ”I don't like to cause trouble, so this pot must be thrown.” He paused for a moment before continuing, ”The people who are looking for the treasures of the previous dynasty actually dared to go straight into the House of the Duke of Yi to assassinate them. It can be seen how much trouble this is, since I am not interested in the treasures.”
”In my opinion, the people who are looking for treasures are also in trouble. My lord, actually, we aren't that familiar with each other. Since you're so troublesome, let's just treat today's meal as bulk food. We should get together and disperse.”
Something shattered at the bottom of his heart. Sharp fragments sliced open his flesh and blood, causing him to feel as if his entire body was encased in ice. He had never felt such a bone-piercing chill before.
That's right, he had been attracted to her on a whim, and he had never thought of getting a response because he had something he had to do. He only had five years left, but hearing her reject him like that was completely unacceptable.
Xiao Su looked at her fixedly. She rested her elbows on the table and rested her chin on her hands as she watched the waiter serve the dishes. The sunlight shone through the window onto her. The beautiful fox's eyes narrowed lazily, as if it was very warm and comfortable.
He was certain that no one could compare to this woman's grandeur. Perhaps one day in the future, there would be a man as outstanding as her, standing by her side. Clouds were drifting about, and the heaven and earth were vast and dependent on each other.
She was already sixteen years old, and that day might not be too far away …
A sense of suffocation arose.
The great demon king's lips curled up into a smile. He wanted him to watch as that day came. Impossible! At least not while he was still alive!
