C78 (2/2)
”...”
This matter of the spy from the Residence of Regent quickly spread throughout the entire capital. It gave the capital, which had been on the verge of reacting, a new life, and it became the laughingstock of the people of the capital.
In front of a noble and elegant mansion, a guard hurriedly entered. He walked to a leisurely man sitting in a chair in the lobby, and knelt down as he played with a walnut-sized metal ball.
His head was almost touching the floor, and he didn't know what to expect next. Because he brought bad news.
”Reporting …” Reporting to the Crown Prince! No... This is bad! ” The guard's head was stuck to the ground as he spoke with a terrified expression.
The Crown Prince, who had been resting with his eyes closed, immediately opened them and spat out a word, ”Speak!”
'Merlin... It broke! ”
”It broke? It broke! ” Yu Hanfeng's eyes widened as he stood there dumbly. The two metal balls that he was playing with just a moment ago slowly fell from his hands and rolled to an invisible corner.
”This is something that your subordinate painstakingly bought from the guards.” The guard handed over a lock of women's hair and a jade key.
Looking at this key, the Crown Prince recalled the scene of him and Merlin together.
It was the time for spring grass to sprout. In the back garden of the crown prince's residence, he asked, ”Your Highness, will you always be so good to Merlin?” Merlin glanced at the key in the crown prince's hands and asked happily.
The Crown Prince looked at the beautiful girl in front of him and hugged her, kissing her, ”Of course! Merlin is my treasure! ”
”Alright then!” ”I will take this Jade Key Merlin. As long as I am alive, Merlin will wear it all the time!” Merlin said mischievously as he snatched the key and put it on his neck, all the way to …
The Crown Prince's hands trembled as he took the lock of hair and the key that Merlin had left behind. His Merlin, his treasure, was gone just like that? Was she pregnant with her own child? These few days, he had been thinking about how to celebrate her return, how to accept her as his side wife? At this moment, someone actually told him that she had broken the contract? How could he accept it? The ferocious expression on the crown prince's face was as lifeless as a zombie. He looked towards the sky and shouted, ”Plum ~ ~ Forest ~”
It was a sad, sad cry through the clouds, as if it were the voice of a poor, sad man.
The Residence of Regent regained its former calm, but after the incident of the princess poisoning, Yu Lingjing understood even more clearly that it was impossible to overturn the opposition between him and the crown prince. It must be that if you die, then I die, and his struggle with the crown prince would only grow fiercer. From when he was previously outside the capital to when he arrived at the imperial court, and now he was at home? It seemed that he had really underestimated this vicious and merciless nephew of his. In order to achieve his goals, he hadn't even spared a single one of his woman and children.
In the past few days, the Prince's Mansion needed to readjust their guards. The steward had only sent his lightning and wind to protect the Prince in secret, so he didn't know that the Crown Prince's target was actually Princess Hua-Yang. He thought that Merlin might just be trying to get the money from the King's Manor, or he might have some ulterior motives towards the manor. He did not expect that her target would be the assassination of the imperial concubine, Qi Shu County, and even more so, Merlin was a spy for the Crown Prince. And as the butler of the palace, he couldn't even find out the identity of this woman. He felt ashamed in his heart.
The butler passed through the secret compartment of his room and arrived in front of Yu Ling Jing, saying with a ashamed face: ”It's all this old man's negligence. I beg Your Highness to atone for my sins!”
Yu Ling Jing said slowly: ”That's none of your business! This King was too careless! ”
He knew that his master had put all of her energy into him, including the four Dark Guards, Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Thunder. Since his master had not said it, Yu Lingjing would not ask, pretending that he knew nothing. The relationship between him and his master, father, son, teacher, and friend, was also very close and distant. In short, it was very subtle. No one wanted to say anything, so the other party did not ask any further. It was as if they had reached a tacit understanding.
”What about the spy?” The steward asked with concern. He was curious in his heart as to how the Prince would deal with this spy.
”I'll follow wangfei's instructions. I'll imprison the crown prince until he falls!”
”Then what if we can never defeat the Crown Prince?” The steward wanted to ask if the prince had any intentions of killing her. If he did, then he could do it for the prince if it was inconvenient for him to do so. He was just a steward, and killing that servant had nothing to do with the prince.
