C48 (1/2)

Yuwen Fei, you want to watch the show?

It was late autumn, and although it wasn't very cold during the day, it was still bone-chilling cold during the night.

If he had known that he would meet these two people after arriving in the capital, he would never have followed Second Uncle even if he was beaten to death.

”What are you guys looking for me for in the middle of the night?”

Lan Ling sniffed, looking at the three of them, they seemed to know what was going on.

”Tonight, an assassin came from Qing Lan Yuan.”

”Ah?!”

Qing Lan Yuan Lan Ling also knew that it was Huai Jin's courtyard. When she heard that an assassin had come to assassinate him, her eyes widened in shock.

Huai Jin looked at him and furrowed his brows in silence.

When Lan Ling just recovered from the shock of Huai Jin's assassination, and saw Huai Jin's suspicious look, she knew that it must be because of the money dart.

But Lan Ling knew that it was definitely not her second uncle.

Curling his lips, Lan Ling mustered his courage and glared at Huai Jin.

”Why are you looking at me like that? I didn't do it.” With that, he raised his voice and added, ”It wasn't my second uncle who did it!”

Yuwen Fei did not know about the matter regarding the money darts, and only sat on a chair to the side and watched the two of them. After hearing Lan Ling's words of absolute certainty, she gently lifted her eyes and glanced at him, and suddenly asked: ”How are you so sure that it wasn't Second Uncle who did it? Now, if Huai Jin dies, the biggest gain will be him. ”

If Huai Jin died, the Xuanping Marquis would definitely rebel, and at that time, they would have no time to take care of themselves, much less Bei Ling's spies in the capital. Furthermore, if there was any internal conflict, Bei Ling would not need to spend so much effort to find the military secrets. No matter how one looked at it, Bei Ling's suspicions were the greatest.

”Last time at the palace, didn't I run away? My second uncle sent me a message saying that I can't touch her.” Lan Ling muttered.

Hearing that, the two of them fell into deep thought, while Huai Jin became even more suspicious.

If Bei Ling had given up on trying to assassinate her for the sake of Lan Ling staying in their hands, then they would not have allowed Lan Ling to take the risk and attack them in the palace the first time. They definitely had a way to take Lan Ling's safety belt out after he was assassinated.

But why did he give up? Then who was the one who came to assassinate him today, and …

Huai Jin's face sank as she stared at Lan Ling. If Bei Ling's men could take Lan Ling away, then why did they fail to escape again and again?

”Why didn't you leave!”

Huai Jin suddenly asked coldly.

Lan Ling looked extremely confused, ”Ah?”

Being reminded of this by Huai Jin, something flashed past Yuwen Fei's mind, but it was not strong enough to grasp onto his brain, so after thinking for a bit, he decided to give up.

After a while, Lan Ling realised what Huai Jin meant by that, and the wronged expression on her face became even more pronounced: ”I do want to, ah.”
