Chapter 744 The Assassins Whereabouts (2/2)

Sitting on the chair, Xia Huanyu didn't say anything more. Without his order, Qin Yi didn't dare to stand up.

It was not until Liu Wenan returned to the palace that Xia Huanyu asked Qin Yi again, ”Why did Cai Yi a

y to send guards to investigate.”

Xia Huanyu took a look at Yun Shang and didn't say anything for a long time. Yun Shang's heart trembled slightly. Then she heard Xia Huanyu's voice, ”Lead the way.”

Yun Shang nodded. Qin Yi fetched an umbrella in a hurry. Xia Huanyu walked out of the palace first, and Yun Shang followed him.

On a rainy winter night, it was freezing cold. Qin Yi hurriedly held the umbrella for Yun Shang, and a group of people stepped into the rain. After a long walk, they arrived at a red wall. Yun Shang pointed at the mottled red wall and said softly, ”The two assassins jumped in from here.”

Under the light of the lantern, Xia Huanyu looked up at the palace wall with coldness in his eyes. After a long silence, he asked, ”Where are we?”

Looking around, Liu Wenan answered in a hurry, ”It seems to be Wu Yan Palace.”

Hearing the name of the palace, Xia Huanyu's eyes darkened in an instant. He stared at the red palace wall and fell silent.

Yun Shang's eyes lit up and asked in surprise, ”Wu Yan Palace? Aren't Lady Shu and Lady Xian in this palace? What if the assassins hurt them? Please send someone to search the palace.”

Hearing this, Xia Huanyu frowned and turned to look at Yun Shang with obvious suspicion. Yun Shang's heart trembled and she looked at Xia Huanyu without dodging.

”Your Majesty?” Yun Shang asked softly.

Xia Huanyu said indifferently, ”You should be mistaken. There are many red walls in the inner Palace. No wonder you made a mistake. Wu Yan Palace is guarded by the royal guards everywhere. Even a fly couldn't fly in without my permission, let alone assassins.”

Then he said indifferently, ”Go back and interrogate Cai Yi carefully.” Then she turned around and was about to leave.

A deep gaze flashed in Yun Shang's eyes and she couldn't help saying, ”I remember clearly that the assassins entered the palace. But I don't understand why Your Majesty favor and indulge Lady Shu and the seventh prince, but only treats Prince Rui like this, which almost destroyed Prince Rui's mansion.”
