C48 (2/2)

Every time Second Uncle's people met with him, he would always want to run away with them, but every time, he would always come back with a body full of wounds. He also wanted to leave, and he really wanted to leave very much, but every time, it just so happened to be the case.

Huai Jin felt that there was something she did not know, but looking at Lan Ling, it seemed that he did not know either. Even after asking for a long time, she still could not get anything out of her.

At this time, Yun Jing, who had gone out to chase the black-clothed man, also returned.

”Did you catch up?” Yuwen Fei asked.

Yun Jing shook his head, and said hesitantly: ”However, the last place that he disappeared to was in the direction of the Jin Mansion.”

”It's the Prince Jin?!”

Ran Mei exclaimed.

Huai Jin and Yuwen Fei both shook their heads. At this time, anyone could go and kill Huai Jin, but Prince Jin was the most impossible. This was because the two of them understood that the Prince Jin had no relation with the Treason case, and that the Treason case had military power, but the Prince Jin did not have any military power, if she had any, she would not have cooperated with Huai Jin and coveted the Huai Family's military power.

And right now, both inside and outside the capital, because of the incident at the hunting grounds, discussions about Huai Jin and the Prince Jin were rife. If Huai Jin died, and someone assassinated him, if someone took the opportunity to spread the rumours that the Prince Jin had killed Huai Jin out of anger, her reputation would only get worse. After all, those rumors did not care whether the things you spread were true or not.

”Looks like someone is going to drag the Prince Jin into the water as well.”

Yuwen Fei squinted his eyes, looking like he was watching a good show.

Sure enough, Yuwen Lie brought his men to Huai Jin's Princess Mansion early in the morning after he received the news.

When Yuwen Lie came over, Huai Jin was still lying under the blanket.

It was already late in the night after she finished interrogating Lan Ling, and adding that her left arm was injured, she could only lie down and sleep. However, she was not used to lying down, so she didn't sleep well for the entire night.

”Princess, the crown prince has brought the Stacha's Prime Minister Wu Si here.”

Ran Mei stood at the door, knocked on the door, and lightly reminded her.

Huai Jin lazily replied as she let Ran Mei in to wash and change her clothes.

Ever since he knew that Ran Mei was someone sent by the Xuanping Marquis, she was the only person attending to him. At the very least, Huai Jin was certain that she wouldn't be any danger to him for the time being, but in the future...

Huai Jin half opened her eyes, looking at Ran Mei who was busy working around him in the mirror, she was lost in thought. Why did the original owner want to kill her grandfather? She still did not understand, if there was something between him and the Xuanping Marquis that could not be resolved, would Ran Mei still be so loyal to her?

She didn't want to guess, didn't want to try. This was because she knew very well that the human heart was often unable to endure probing.

”Alright, let's do it like this.”

Huai Jin looked at her reflection in the mirror and stopped Ran Mei from inserting an empty orchid pearl hairpin onto her head. She was no longer in the palace, and there was no need for her to bring anything she did not like.

From the accessory case, he picked out a slightly more elegant pearl chai and casually inserted it on his head. Then, he used some makeup to cover the black circles under his eyes and Huai Jin stood up to welcome the guests.

Coming out of Qing Lan Yuan, she passed through a garden and a corridor, which was the front hall for the guests.

In Huai Jin's Princess Mansion, from the main entrance to the main hall, there was neither a wall nor an empty space. Instead, there were three manmade mountains overlapping each other, the moss on them were mottled with lush green, and there was even flowing water flowing down to the ponds below. There were a few golden carp reared in the ponds, and they swam happily inside.
