The legitimate daughter is reborn and the fake Bai Lian is completely panicked

When Prince Xin finished speaking, he seemed to sense the presence of a third person in the dark room.

The strong smell of blood hit his nose and he suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

Just as he took a step back, a long sword was drawn out in the dark night and instantly pierced his chest.

Prince Xin felt a piercing pain and was about to scream when he heard the sounds of swords and sabers coming from all over the palace.

There was a 'pop' sound.

The man was kicked hard to the ground, and then a man holding a long sword slowly walked out from the night.

The man's eyes were bloodshot, bloodthirsty, and his face was cold and terrifying.

He picked up the sword and cut the tendons in Prince Xin's hands and feet.

"I'm here to claim Yue'er's life."

Prince Xin was lying on the ground, his chest covered in blood and flesh, and he was completely dead. Only then did the man leave.

Inner courtyard of Shen Mansion.

In the private room of Lanyue Courtyard, the candlelight flickered slightly.

Shen Mi sat quietly in front of the window, reached out to take a chess piece and placed it on the chessboard.

The black piece in his hand fell, and outside the dark house, a loud thunder exploded not far away.

The city of Yanjing seems to be uneasy tonight.

The Imperial City Guards were dispatched one after another, and soon surrounded the gates on the southeast, northwest, and northeast sides of Yanjing City.

The leader led the Imperial City Guards to search every street and alley for suspicious people.

A burst of noisy sound came from the originally quiet street.

Soon the entire Prince Xin's mansion was surrounded.

Yun Lan was wearing a veil when she returned to Lan Yue Courtyard from the side courtyard of the Shen Mansion.

She took off her veil and walked into the private room.

Shen Mi was sitting in front of the window and only spoke when he saw her coming.

"Is everything done?"

Yun Lan nodded and took a deep breath.

"Miss, the Imperial City Guards are searching everywhere for Yun Jue's whereabouts. Yun Jue has already fled Yanjing City and is heading towards Huaizhou."

"He has a murder case on his shoulders, so he probably won't return to Yanjing City."

Shen Mi took a deep breath and asked, "Send someone to notify the Imperial City Guards. Has their identity been discovered?"

Yun Lan shook her head, "No."

"After the bloodbath at Prince Xin's mansion and Yun Jue's escape, the woman from Prince Xin's mansion told the Imperial City Guards all of Yun Jue's appearance."

Shen Mi nodded, reached out to pour herself a cup of tea, and took a few sips.

"At first, I wanted to kill Yun Jue."

"But he is also a kind and righteous man."

"Now, using him to kill Prince Xin can be considered as getting rid of harm to the people."

"However, he is the prince's right-hand man after all. Since I don't want his life, I will make him desperate and leave Yanjing City."

"Letting him go to see Doctor Chu is the best option."

Yun Lan walked over, took out a cloak and put it on Shen Mi.

"Miss, in fact, Yun Jue's killing of Prince Xin was expected."

"However, killing the prince is a serious crime, so it would be useless even if the prince wanted to protect him."

"He had no choice but to leave Yanjing and live under a different name."

Shen Mi nodded, her face cold, and reached out to pick up the wick on the table.

"The Qionghua Banquet is coming soon. Without a sharp secret guard leader like Yun Jue, it may be easier to enter the Prince's Mansion."

……

The next day, the Imperial City of Yanjing was in an uproar.

In front of Prince Xin's palace, blood was pouring down.

Several officers covered their noses as they carried out bloody corpses from Prince Xin's mansion.

The strong smell of blood permeated the entire area around Prince Xin’s mansion.

The Imperial City Guards were searching everywhere in Yanjing City with Yun Jue's portrait.

……

The prince also knew the news that Prince Xin was massacred overnight.

In the court, His Majesty was furious and asked the Dali Temple and the Yanjing government to handle the case together.

Prince Xin was a prince of the royal family. The fact that his mansion was massacred overnight naturally concerned the dignity of the royal family.

The prince stood in the center of the crowd in his court robes. When he heard the Dali Temple Minister report the main characteristics of the assassin leader, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

Its characteristics are exactly the same as Yun Jue.

Yun Jue had not been seen for the past few days, and he was a little confused.

At this moment, Murong Che stood among the civil and military officials, his eyes slightly narrowed.

Ren never expected that Prince Xin's mansion would be massacred.

After the morning court session, the prince hurried back to the prince's residence, and saw Yun Jue's subordinate Wu Ren running towards him in a hurry.

"Your Highness, something serious has happened."

"The portrait in the hands of the Imperial City Guard is exactly the same as Guard Yun's."

"Guard Yun has not been here these past few days. Could it be that he really went to Prince Xin's mansion?"

"If His Majesty investigates, I'm afraid Your Highness will also..."

When Wu Ren saw the prince's frown, his words stopped abruptly.

The prince frowned and strode into the study.

He naturally knew the reason why Yun Jue killed Prince Xin.

He originally wanted to conceal Chu Xinyue's stay in Prince Xin's mansion, but he never thought that he actually knew about it.

He said angrily: "Yun Jue is a secret guard, not many people have seen him in my house."

"Send someone to look for him privately and see if you can find him."

"If you find him, kill him."

If Yun Jue's identity was exposed, he might also be implicated.

He was afraid that one day, the Dali Temple would use its thunderous means to find out some details and finally blame himself for the murder of the prince. His Majesty and the emperor would also be held accountable.

Thinking of this, the prince said angrily: "If Yun Jue is still in Yanjing, let him come to me and confess his crime in person."

Yun Jue is the leader of the secret guards in the Prince's Mansion. He is at the disposal of the Prince and is very perceptive, able to see through the potential dangers in the Prince's Mansion.

Because of this, no suspicious person has ever entered the Prince’s Mansion in the past ten years.

This is also the reason why Shen Mi insisted on letting Yun Jue leave.

Yun Jue is sharp in his actions, murderous, and suspicious.

However, Wu Ren is different. He is very casual in many things and has a fatal weakness: he is greedy for money and lustful.

The prince took a deep breath and looked at the mist blade.

"Yun Jue's whereabouts are unknown now. From now on, the Mo Yu Guards of the East Palace will be under your command."

"Don't give me any trouble."

Wu Ren showed a hint of excitement and clasped his fists quickly.

"I will not let His Royal Highness down."

"Make sure to mobilize the Moyu Guards and don't let any suspicious people enter the East Palace."

……

Prince Rui's Mansion.

After Murong Che got off his horse, he gave instructions to Fu Ying.

"Prepare an ordinary carriage. I'm going to the Shen Mansion to pick someone up."

Fu Ying nodded and instantly understood his intention.

"Fourth Master also suspects that Prince Xin's death is related to Second Miss Shen?"

Murong Che had a faint smile on his face, and suddenly he remembered that Shen Mi asked him to teach her how to play pitch pot, and he immediately became interested.

"It doesn't matter whether it matters or not, this Prince Xin deserves to die."

"Go and prepare the carriage."

Fu Ying clasped his fists, "Yes, Your Highness."
