Quick Wear: The Villain's Beloved

Qinggong is very fast.

In a short while, they had returned to the palace.

After warming the girl's hands and making sure that she was not cold, Mo Chen came to the study.

Mu Qiu and Ji Hen were already waiting.

"Your Highness," Ji Hen said with a bow, "We have dealt with them all. Although those men in black do not have any identification marks on them, as we expected before, they are all Li'an's death warriors. There are 37 of them in total, and none of them survived."

Mo Chen had no expression on his face and asked:

"How's the post station?"

Ji Hen said: "Always monitoring."

"I'm afraid the people of Li'an Country didn't expect that their ambush this time was already within our expectations," Mu Qiu also said, "Thirty-seven people... are probably all the assassins who have lurked in. Even if they want to do something else, they lack the manpower."

The greatest reliance of the Li'an Kingdom delegation is these death warriors.

Now that they have lost their assassins, they can no longer attack the prince.

As long as nothing happens to the prince, there will be no chaos on the border.

"There is another piece of news," Ji Hen said, "We have clues about the secret agents that Li'an State has buried in our country."

"This assassination took place in the streets and alleys. There was such a big commotion, but the Kyoto Prefecture, which is responsible for managing the public security of Shengdu, did not show up. I'm afraid it can't be explained by dereliction of duty."

Kyoto Prefecture...

"If the secret agent is in Kyoto Prefecture, it makes sense."

Mu Qiu said.

The fact that the thirty-odd assassins from Li'an State were able to enter Shengdu without anyone noticing must have been due to the handiwork of Kyoto Prefecture.

Mo Chen's eyes turned cold.

He tapped the table with his fingers and said:

"Check properly."

"Yes!"

The two said respectfully.

After finishing the discussion, Ji Hen and Mu Qiu prepared to leave, but Mu Qiu seemed to have something else to say and looked a little hesitant.

Ji Hen gave him a strange look.

Knowing that he had other things to report to the prince.

"My subordinates will retire first."

After Ji Hen left, Mu Qiu spoke hesitantly, "Your Majesty, I have something else to report."

Hearing this, Mo Chen looked up at him.

"What's the matter?"

"This matter...is about the princess." Feeling the prince's gaze on him becoming sharper and sharper, Mu Qiu lowered his head lower and lower, and finally gritted his teeth, "It's about the princess in Xuanwang Mansion."

The study suddenly became very quiet.

But Mu Qiu didn't realize that the prince wanted to stop him from talking any further. He looked troubled and said, "Prince, I feel that at this banquet, the princess seems to be a little different?"

Mo Chen's eyes seemed to darken for a moment.

After a moment of silence, he said:

"go on."

Mu Qiu's face became even more conflicted.

After a long while, he told what happened in the backyard of Prince Xuan's Mansion.

At that time, he was stopped by several masked men and could not get away for a while. Since someone came to stop him on purpose, it meant that those people must be targeting the princess, and it would definitely not be a small fight. The princess was in danger.

He was anxious and just wanted to get rid of those people.

But those people also saw through his plan. Their purpose was just to surround him and trap him without fighting. In the end, he could only defeat them one by one. It took him a lot of effort to get away and immediately rushed forward along the road.

When they were almost at the wing room, the princess suddenly appeared.

There was movement in the room by then, but the princess was not surprised at all.

"Your Highness, after I was trapped, I actually didn't stay with the princess for a while, and I don't know how the princess did it in the incident with Princess Ningxi."

Mu Qiu felt a little ashamed.

He was the leader of the secret guards, but he was trapped by just a few people.

Fortunately, the princess is okay.

Otherwise he should die as a token of his guilt.

After hearing Mu Qiu's words, Mo Chen couldn't help but recall the assassination attempt on the street. Suddenly, there were three sounds of people falling to the ground. With his hearing, he naturally knew that there were three people falling down.

Shallow she...

The man's eyes darkened for a moment.

There was no change on his face, and he said calmly:

"The king knows."

Mu Qiu was stunned.

Looking at the prince's calm reaction, was I making too much of a fuss, or did the prince already know about the princess?

Forget it, these are not things he should consider.

All we have to do is follow the prince.

"dong dong dong"

There was a knock on the door.

"My Lord, it is late at night. The princess has specially prepared ginseng soup for you and sent a servant to deliver it to you."

This ginseng soup has been given to us before.

A hint of tenderness appeared in Mo Chen's eyes.

"Come in."

A maid opened the door and came in, holding a food box in her hand. She knelt down and saluted after entering.

"See you, Your Majesty."

Mu Qiu went forward and took the food box.

The ginseng soup was still steaming, and it seemed to be able to dispel the coldness of this snowy day.

Mo Chen picked up the ginseng soup, stirred it with a spoon, and when he was about to bring it to his mouth to drink, his hand suddenly stopped.

His dark eyes dropped slightly.

"Did the princess ask you to bring this ginseng soup?"

The maid's body stiffened slightly. She lowered her head and knelt on the ground. A strange look flashed in her eyes. She said, "My lord, the princess herself asked me to deliver it."

"Is it."

The man's tone was extremely calm.

No emotion could be heard.

Seeing that something seemed amiss, Mu Qiu stepped forward and said, "My Lord, is there any problem?"

Hearing this, the maid on the ground changed her expression.

But he tried his best to remain calm.

"Nothing." Mo Chen stared at the maid, then put down the ginseng soup in his hand and stood up. "Bring her and this bowl of ginseng soup to the princess."

"Your Majesty?"

The maid looked a little flustered.

"This is specially prepared by the princess. Does the prince dislike it?"

This shouldn't be the case. The princess has sent it before. This bowl of ginseng soup is exactly the same as before, so it shouldn't arouse suspicion.

Mo Chen didn't answer her and just walked out.

Seeing this, Mu Qiu hurriedly grabbed the maid and followed.
