Chapter 1867: Revealing the Footsteps
When he said this, he had already completely approached the a.s.sa.s.sin. Just as he was about to put down his sleeve, Lin Yuelan only smiled at him but did not answer. Instead, she stared at his sleeve with a sharp gaze and pretended to be surprised and curious as she asked,” Eh, Your Highness, what’s on your sleeve? It looks a little blue and black like it’s dirty.”
When Lin Yuelan said that, everyone’s gaze turned to the eldest grandson of the imperial family, Yuwen Xuhong.
The imperial grandson’s entire body stiffened. Then, he unnaturally folded his sleeves so that no one would notice the strangeness of his sleeves. He smiled stiffly and explained,” I guess I accidentally got it dirty somewhere. The princess of Guguo is really meticulous. She clearly said that she wanted to save the a.s.sa.s.sin, but she actually noticed that my sleeves were dirty.”
However, his hands under his sleeves were tightly clenched into fists, and his veins were bulging as if they were about to explode. It was obvious that he was trying his best to restrain himself and endure it.
He wasn’t sure if Lin Yuelan had noticed his sleeve by accident or if she had noticed something that made her notice his sleeve.
But no matter what the situation was, no matter how good the timing was, he had completely missed it.
It was completely impossible to kill someone in front of everyone.
Therefore, he could only find another way to send someone else to a.s.sa.s.sinate him.
Suppose Lin Yuelan saved this a.s.sa.s.sin; who knew what methods she would use to interrogate him? However, he needed to get rid of him before that happened.
The eldest grandson took a deep breath again, then put down the two hands in his sleeves. With his palms facing down, he made two more “wiping” movements.
Then, he said to Lin Yuelan,” Princess, please!”
It was meant to save the a.s.sa.s.sin.
His gaze casually swept across the surroundings.
Lin Yuelan didn’t say anything else. She just nodded. Then, she took out a red pill and threw it into the a.s.sa.s.sin’s mouth.
A moment later, those with good hearing could hear this person breathing and gradually recovering.
“Heavens, this person really isn’t dead.” His face was filled with surprise and curiosity.
“I thought that this person was really poisoned to death by the real pill that Princess Gu gave him.”
“I thought so too.”
“Great, this person is awake. That proves that it wasn’t Princess Gu who poisoned him to death.”
In other words, Prince Ping had wronged her.
Amidst the crowd’s exclamations of surprise, the a.s.sa.s.sin first regained his breath and then slowly opened his eyes.
When he opened his eyes, he was still at a loss.
However, he quickly reacted and was so frightened that he wanted to jump up. However, Jiang Zhennan pressed him down forcefully and shouted sternly,” Don’t move. Kneel properly!”
” What’s going on?” The a.s.sa.s.sin’s face paled, and he asked in confusion. “Didn’t I die? How did I come back to life?”
Lin Yuelan sneered and said,” With me here, can you still die?”
She stared at him sharply and said scornfully,” You are an important witness in this case. How can I allow you to die under my watch? Then you’re looking down on me too much.”
Lin Yuelan exuded an arrogant and domineering aura.
When the a.s.sa.s.sin heard her words, his face turned even paler.
He subconsciously looked at a certain someone, feeling uneasy.
As a death warrior, he would never betray his master when he was captured. Whether he could escape or not depended on his own ability. If he could not escape, he could only die.
However, he was probably the only one who had resurrected from the dead since ancient times.
He looked at Lin Yuelan warily and asked cautiously,” You… What exactly are you doing?” When he asked this, he became guilty again and said loudly, “Let me tell you, I… I don’t know anything. If you want to kill me or cut me up, it’s up to you!”
However, Lin Yuelan laughed coldly and said,” Haha, who said that I’m going to kill you?”
The a.s.sa.s.sin was stunned and asked in confusion, “… What do you mean?”
“Nothing!” Lin Yuelan shook her head. Then, her expression changed, and she said coldly,” I’m only bringing you to His Majesty!”
Pa!
The gavel in the Crown Prince’s hand involuntarily fell to the ground. He was somewhat dumbfounded!
Pa!
The jade thumb ring in the eldest grandson’s thumb fell to the ground again. His expression was panicked and gloomy!
As for the two princes, they were even more shocked!
What did Lin Yuelan mean?
Then, everyone heard…
“This princess will bring you to the emperor and feed you the real truth pill!”
Everyone was speechless.
