Chapter 124 An Illicit Plan under the Guise of Something Lawful (2/2)
However, she was not as tired as one would imagine having not slept for the entire night. Baizhi, on the other hand, was totally unperturbed and was sleeping soundly on the bed.
Not long after, Lin Kui appeared in Lin Mengya's tent.
”Princess, it was said that the Crown Prince was not injured by the assassin, so there was no need to trouble you paying him a visit. The imperial guards will step up their security measures.”
Lin Mengya nodded. What assassin? Lin Mengya snorted. It was all the Crown Prince's dirty trick.
The so-called assassin would disappear completely after those imperial guards died.
”Alright, I get it. Where is King Ming?”
Long Tianhao had quietly planted his spy around the Crown Prince.
On normal days, this particular was in charge of intelligence and was thus favored by the Crown Prince.
Long Tianhao managed to find out earlier where the killers were being detained.
Those killers were still under the strong effects of the drugs that they were still unconscious. The Crown Prince had no other choice but to wait patiently for them to come around.
”Go to King Ming of the western vassal state now to pass him this message. Bear in mind that anyone was to inquire about it, just say that you are merely carrying Prince Yu's orders, understand?”
Lin Kui nodded. He was going in the name of Long Tianhao, taking into consideration the presence of Princess Ming Yue in the tent belonging to the western vassal state.
If he were to bump into Princess Ming Yue, she may obstruct them and thereby upsetting their plan.
At the same time Lin Kui left in a hurry, Baiji and Baishao entered the tent carrying some warm water and towels.
”Master, it's time to groom yourself.”
Although Lin Mengya did not sleep a wink, she did not rush or allow herself to look sloppy. In fact, her countenance was still glowing.
”Erm, I would like to wear my hair in a simple bun today. I suppose something entertaining is going to happen later!”
The two maidservants nodded in agreement. A chilling look flashed across Lin Mengya's eyes just before she closed the book in her hands.
Since the Crown Prince had the audacity to plot against her, he better be prepared to pay for his actions!
In the Crown Prince's tent, the three girls who had been tightly bound were beginning to stir at this moment.
At this moment, the Crown Prince was sitting on the most honorable seat in the tent, surrounded by his trusted aide.
His face was still grimacing from the fact that a dozen of his guards had been killed the night before.
”Your Highness, the Crown Prince, the situation last night was ---”
Lord Zhang tried to offer an explanation but was interrupted by the Crown Prince.
”I understand the situation was desperate last night, I won't blame you.”
It was no wonder Lord Zhang was scared witless. He knew very well that to the Crown Prince, the people around him were just his tools.
Once a tool was no longer useful, it would be time to discard it. It did not really matter whether it was his daughter or wife.
”I can't wait to see how Lin Mengya is going to find a way of escape, with these three as witnesses.”
Although the Crown Prince had merely started with a lust for a beautiful woman, this lust had transformed into an insatiable desire to take her down like a prey.
Despite Princess Ming Yue of the western vassal state being all smiles whenever she saw him, he was totally not interested in her.
He had no intention of taking Lin Mengya's life, but the act of swapping a person with another was something he did routinely with ease.
By that time, he would imprison Lin Mengya in his mansion and make her his captive, his exclusive property!
His blood began boiling at the mere thought of it.
”Greetings of peace, Princess Yu.”
Vice Princess Dugu, who was adorned in a pale purple embroidered dress, walked up to the Crown Prince's tent with poise and grace.
All those standing by immediately bowed respectfully to vice Princess Dugu, who was wearing a warm and friendly smile on her face. There was not a hint of arrogance in her.
”Greetings of peace to the Crown Prince.”
She bent slightly in a bow, paying her respect to the Crown Prince. Although she and the Crown Prince were lovingly intertwined in each others' arms last night on the bed, once out of bed, she had to always bear in mind that he was the Crown Prince high up there.
”You may rise.”
Nevertheless, the expression on the Crown Prince's face remained impassive at the sight of his beautiful vice Princess.
A look of displeasure flashed across the eyes of vice Princess Dugu.
Although it was said that she was the apple of the Crown Prince's eyes, nobody really knew that in reality, no one who could take that special place in the heart of the Crown Prince.
”So are they the assassins?”
The Crown Prince occasionally kept somethings from vice Princess Dugu, who at this moment was standing beside him, diligently serving tea.
”No, these are not the assassins who tried to assassinate me. They are talisman which could bring Lin Mengya and Long Tianhao an early death.”
It was an indisputable fact that Hu Lunan was severely injured by Lin Mengya.
These three girls with dubious background had to be the scapegoats found by Long Tianhao.
Unfortunately, they had fallen into his hands now.
Thanks to his brilliant ploy, otherwise those two would have escaped easily this time.
”Oh? Now you are making me curious.”
Vice Princess Dugu lifted her jealous gaze to the Crown Prince, wanting to catch a glimpse of the flash of light which would appear in his eyes at the mention of Lin Mengya.
How was this slut alone able to win the heart of the Crown Prince?
Why was this slut not the one whom Hu Lunan violated?
However, she had carefully concealed the tumult of jealousy in her heart.
She sat submissively next to the Crown Prince, making sure that she played her role well.
”Erm---” the three girls on the floor stirred, and they began to squirm.
Although they were in a disheveled state at this moment, apparently they were very attractive women.
”Men, wake them up.”
