Chapter 125 Completely Fool Them (2/2)
”This matter---”
”Those three girls are the ones! King Ming, Prince Hu, these three girls were the dancers who were with Second Prince that night.”
Someone from among the men led by King Ming pointed out the real identities of the three girls in disguise.
Both King Ming and Hu Tianbei's faces fell. Just a while ago, Long Tianhao had personally paid them a visit to their tent to inform them that the three female dancers were the culprits who assassinated Hu Lunan.
For this reason, they had come here to ask for these perpetrators.
”This... this...”
Never would Lord Zhang expect this to happen and in desperation, he was befuddled.
”Forgive us for delaying coming forward to welcome you, King Ming.”
Finally, the Crown Prince emerged from the tent and witnessed the situation at hand.
Although he had no idea why King Ming had visited at this juncture, the Crown Prince was aware that it was not a good sign that the identities of the three girls were exposed.
”There is no need for an explanation from the Crown Prince. Prince Yu had informed me earlier that these three girls disguised as dancers were the ones who murdered my son. Since the Crown Prince managed to capture them, how about handing them over to me?”
So it was Long Tianhao again! From within the Crown Prince's heart, a feeling of hatred towards Long Tianhao arose.
Nevertheless, he forced an agreeable look on his face.
”You are right, King Ming. I was about to bring these three girls to hand them over to you. Lord Zhang, hand the girls over to King Ming.”
He had wasted so much effort to finally get hold of these three girls. Little did he expect that King Ming would intercept him halfway.
The Crown Prince could hardly come to terms with what was happening. Long Tiaohao and Lin Mengya had managed to get away once again.
These three girls, however, had gone mad and could not speak. Since it was not possible to interrogate them, he still stood a chance to turn the table around.
Lord Zhang had no other choice but to obey the instructions given by the Crown Prince. He ordered men to hand the three girls over to King Ming.
However, who would have expected that the men who took the orders came back all jittery.
They whispered something into Lord Zhang's ear and his face turned pale instantly.
”What? Weren't you the one overseeing the detainment of the girls?”
At this moment, the Crown Prince shot a displeased look at Lord Zhang, thinking if he even needed to handle such a small matter.
”Your Highness the Crown Prince, the three criminals had been executed!”
”What?!”
At this instant, Lin Mengya was playing with the baby wolf and baby tiger in Prince Yu's tent.
”Things are getting really interesting at the Crown Prince's tent! While King Ming had gone over there in truculence, he'll only be able to see the corpses of the assassins.”
Baizhi narrated what she witnessed in secret a moment ago to Lin Mengya.
At this time, there were only Lin Mengya's four maidservants by her, while Lin Zhongyu was nowhere to be seen.
”Oh really?”
The two baby animals were drinking warm goat's milk happily from a bowl in Lin Mengya's hands.
They were growing so fast that they looked different every day. The only thing that did not change was how they both loved staying close to Lin Mengya as if she were their mother.
”Indeed! Just before I sneaked off, King Ming was in full rage and demanding the Crown Prince to give him an account of what happened!”
All attention was drawn towards the Crown Prince at this moment.
No one would have expected Prince Yu to announce the identity of the assassins publicly first. He had in fact laid down a trap with Hu Tianbei earlier on, for the Crown Prince to be ensnared in it.
All the people in the campground seemed to know who the assassins were by now. The only one kept in the dark was the Crown Prince.
Moreover, the Crown Prince's men had ”coincidentally” executed the three girls who had gone crazy.
Everything had gone seamlessly as planned.
”Oh yes, where is Prince Yu at this moment?”
Lin Mengya asked, delighted, while she stroked Snow and the baby tiger.
”This--- I didn't see him anywhere.”
Baizhi bowed her head, looking a little guilty. However, Lin Mengya's attention was on the two baby animals so much so that she did not realize that Baizhi was acting a little strange.
”Master, I've made some milk cookies. I'll bring them to you to have a taste of them.”
Baiji suggested after pondering over Baizhi's strange behavior, which failed to escape Baiji's observant eye.
Lin Mengya nodded in response. She was aware of Baiji's fantastic culinary skills. Moreover, she would be going out to enjoy some entertainment later. She knew better to fill up her stomach before that.
”Come over too, Baizhi. Have a look at which of these cookies you think our mistress will like.”
The moment Baizhi heard that there was food, her eyes lit up and all other thoughts disappeared.
She eagerly followed Baiji into the little kitchen set up especially for Princess Yu.
The moment they entered the tent, Baiji let down the curtain and looked around to make sure that there were no one around, and then she took out the freshly made cookies and placed them before Baizhi.
”Wah! Is this the cookies you made, Elder Sister Baiji? They look great!”
Baizhi flattered as she grabbed one and popped it into her mouth quickly. Immediately, a brilliant smile appeared on her face.
”Look at you! Tell me what happened to Prince Yu after you're done with eating. Why are you even keeping something from us?”
Baiji patted Baizhi's forehead with her finger when Baizhi's face fell.
”What should I do? I saw Princess Ming Yue pestering Prince Yu, telling him that she would ask King Ming to make her Prince Yu's vice Princess.”
Neither had the second daughter of the Lins or Cousin Jiang dared to ask to be Prince Yu's vice Princess when they visit Prince Yu's Mansion.
