Quick Wear: The Villain's Beloved

As he spoke, his hand holding the girl slid towards the girl's waist intentionally or unintentionally, slowly stroking her slender waist.

"Stop joking...let's talk business."

Lan Qian stopped his hand from moving further.

He just mentioned that there was some movement from King Li's side, so it was a good opportunity to tell him about the hero and heroine's next plans.

"Prince Li and Xia Ruyan will have to act in advance. Nangong Ze and Xilin Kingdom should also help them. I am not worried about the capital and the palace, but I still need to be careful about the border recently."

"Don't worry Qianqian, they can't cause any trouble."

Mo Chen said.

He didn't even take the small Xilin Kingdom seriously.

"The secret guards have been monitoring the forces under Prince Li," Mo Chen's eyes flashed with coldness, "and some ministers in the court... This time, it's time to clean them up completely."

"So next..."

"Use the palace banquet to add fuel to their fire."

……

I heard that the palace had already uncovered the truth of what happened that night. It turned out that the affair between Crown Prince Xilin and the Third Miss of the Prime Minister's Mansion was indeed designed by someone with ulterior motives. However, the person behind it was beyond everyone's expectations.

It turned out to be the Third Miss herself!

As soon as the news came out, it quickly spread throughout the capital.

"Hey, have you heard? The third young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion is so bold that she dared to do such a thing at the palace banquet?"

In the restaurant, several people drinking were discussing this matter.

"Are you talking about her and the Crown Prince of Xilin Kingdom?"

"Didn't you say you were framed?"

"What do you mean by being framed? Didn't you hear the latest news? She designed that incident herself!"

"Yes, yes, I heard about it too. It seems that the palace also caught someone who broke into the palace at that time. That person confessed everything. It was the Third Miss of the Prime Minister's Mansion who arranged it herself."

"And the assassin that night was also related to her. How could it be such a coincidence that an assassin just happened to enter the palace to commit assassination?"

"But why did the Third Young Lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion do this?"

"Shh... keep your voice down," someone quickly made a gesture to silence the crowd. He looked around cautiously, then lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "I heard that the Third Miss is doing this for Prince Li."

……

The rumors about the whole incident intensified, and in less than a day, multiple versions had circulated. Some said that Xia Ruyan did it in order to climb up the social ladder, while others said that it was impossible for Xia Ruyan to do it alone and it must have been instructed by the Prime Minister's Office.

Some people even linked this incident to King Li.

By the time Xia Ruyan and Prince Li found out, all the news had spread throughout the city and outside.

"Are those news just rumors or have the palace really found out something?" After leaving the palace, Xia Ruyan became anxious, which was unusual for her. "How could they find out so quickly in less than a day?"

And Xue Zhuang, was he the one who was caught?

Was he really caught?

"Don't be anxious, calm down," Mo Li's face was also not good, "According to Mo Chen's usual style, if the palace banquet and the assassin were investigated, he would not have made no move."

At least they should be put into prison.

Although he said so, he was still unsure.

Mo Chen's style of doing things seems to have changed a lot.

"How can I not be anxious?"

Xia Ruyan couldn't help but pace back and forth in the study. The news caught her off guard and she didn't even have time to think of a response. However, the news spread so quickly, it must not be groundless, and there must be someone behind it.

If she was really found out...she couldn't just sit there and wait for death.

"Mo Li, we don't have time."

"Since they have even found out the assassin's background, it is only a matter of time before they find out the relationship between us. And as for the forces you have in secret, anyone can guess what you are going to do."

Her face looked serious.

"Mo Chen will not let you go, we must act now!"

"What you said makes sense, but..." Mo Li still had some concerns. He had been keeping a low profile for so many years and had always acted cautiously. "If this news is just a test from him..."

"It means he has begun to doubt you."

Xia Ruyan took over his words.

At this moment, Mo Li's confidant hurried in from outside: "It's bad, Prince. Our people in the Imperial Guards have reported that His Majesty has sent people to the Prime Minister's Mansion and Prince Li's Mansion."

He didn't care that Xia Ruyan was here, and hurriedly said, "The Imperial Guards will be here soon, Your Majesty, please leave through the secret passage!"

Xia Ruyan also said immediately:

"We can't wait any longer, we have to leave now!"

She could not go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Fortunately, her forces were all outside the city. Ever since she learned about the plot of this world, she had been making preparations during this period. Although it was a bit rushed, she was not without the ability to fight.

Besides, she is the heroine.

I believe that the luck of the world will be on her side.

Mo Li finally made up his mind.

"go!"

-

[Host, the hero and heroine have already left the city. ]

When Xiaotuanzi was reporting the whereabouts of the hero and heroine, Mo Chen's secret guard also came to report: "Your Majesty, Xia Ruyan was not found in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Prince Li was not in Prince Li's Mansion. The city gates have been sealed, but I found a secret passage in Prince Li's Mansion. According to my guess, they may have escaped through the secret passage."

"understood."

Mo Chen said calmly, not surprised at the result: "According to the plan."

"Subordinates take orders!"
