Chapter 100: Failed to Catch an Adulterer
Yu Wantai is the third prince's uncle, and the two are relatives. No matter how Yan Muxi calculates, he feels that he will be the first to die.
"Do you want to get up by yourself, or do you want me to help you?" Yu Wantai said coldly.
Under Yan Muxi's shocked gaze, the third prince actually opened his eyes, climbed up from the bed swiftly, and forced a flattering smile at the cold-faced Yu Wantai.
"How did my uncle guess that I was pretending to be unconscious?"
Yu Wantai sneered, "Oh, all the princes and princesses of Dafeng combined are not as smart as you, Yu Jinzhou. Do you still need to guess? Get out now and don't waste your time!"
As soon as he finished speaking, screams suddenly rang out outside.
"Ah! There's an assassin, the assassin killed someone!"
"Chase the assassin, the assassin is running that way!"
Yu Jinzhou smiled and shrugged, "It seems that none of us can get out!"
The expected bloody scene did not happen. Yan Muxi looked stupidly at the uncle and nephew who were in a harmonious atmosphere in front of him. He couldn't figure out for a moment whether Yu Wantai trusted the third prince too much or trusted him enough?
Anyway, he would not believe her. In Yu Wantai's heart, she was probably more vicious than poisonous snakes and scorpions.
But she was relieved a little. No matter what the purpose of the person behind the scenes was, her plan would fail when she encountered the uncle and nephew who did not play by the rules.
After the screams and shouting, noisy and powerful footsteps soon sounded in the yard.
"Search every room, keep your eyes open and look carefully. Don't let the assassin escape!"
"You guys search the main room, and the rest of you follow me to the west wing."
It sounded like the Royal Guards were coming. Seeing that the uncle and nephew were calm and had no intention of leaving, Yan Muxi carefully asked, "How about I go out and take a look first?"
Although Yu Wantai is her fiancé, she is not married yet. It is not good for her to stay in the same room with her uncle and nephew. She is also afraid to stay with Yu Wantai.
"No need, just wait patiently." Yu Wantai's eyes swept over.
The moment their eyes met, Yan Muxi immediately looked away, "Okay, I'll listen to you, Young Master." After saying that, she lowered her eyes and stared at the tip of her shoes, determined not to look up or talk or look around anymore.
She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt that Yu Wantai was always stealing glances at her intentionally or unintentionally, and he definitely had no good intentions.
The waiting time was much longer than expected. It was not until the chaotic footsteps were heard outside again that the Royal Guards searched the east wing.
In the courtyard, Emperor Yuan Jing asked coldly, "How is the search going? Have you found any trace of the assassin?"
The deputy commander of the Imperial Guard replied, "Your Majesty, the west wing and the main room have been thoroughly searched. Only the east wing has not been searched yet."
Emperor Yuan Jing said impatiently: "Then search quickly."
The royal guards who received the order were about to break into the east wing when Yan Muxi walked out leisurely.
Seeing that her clothes were neat and tidy, Yan Muqing breathed a sigh of relief and did not forget to give a grateful smile to the prince not far away.
Facing the girl's smiling face, the prince smiled so hard that his teeth were visible and his lips almost stretched to his ears.
Empress Xue saw the interaction between the two and tried her best to hide her displeasure. She then looked at Yan Muxi and said, "Second Miss Yan, why haven't you changed your dirty clothes yet?"
Before he finished speaking, the Third Prince actually walked out of the house. Li Chan'er exclaimed, "Ah! Why is Second Miss Yan staying in the same room with the Third Prince?"
Soon after, everyone started talking among themselves, but they only spoke in whispers. No one dared to openly discuss other people's shortcomings in front of the emperor and empress.
Yan Muxi knelt down and saluted in the direction of Emperor Yuanjing, and before being called, he opened his mouth to refute Li Chaner's words.
"I am also very curious as to why the palace servants brought my daughter into the Third Prince's house and locked it from the outside, as if they were afraid that my daughter would run away!"
Concubine Li came back to her senses from her surprise and pretended to be surprised and asked, "Is this true? It must be that the palace servant mistakenly brought Miss Yan to the wrong place. Miss Yan, do you still remember what the palace servant who brought you here looked like?"
"I remember, even if I turned into ashes. That's right, there are thousands of palace maids working in the harem alone. I'm afraid I won't be able to find her one by one." Yan Muxi changed the subject and said, "However, since I, a little palace maid, have worked in the imperial concubine's palace, Your Majesty will surely be able to help me find her." The girl's voice was crisp, and her expression was full of cuteness and agility.
Concubine Li's eyelids were twitching wildly, and she coldly ordered the nanny beside her, "Go and check quickly to find out which palace servant brought Miss Yan here as soon as possible."
After the nanny left, Concubine Li looked at the Third Prince again, "Why is the Third Prince here? Could it be that he was also brought here by the palace servants by mistake?"
The third prince is already sixteen years old and is old enough to do human work. He appeared in the concubine's private courtyard without any reason, and he needed a reasonable reason to prove his innocence.
"I was knocked unconscious and found myself here when I woke up." The third prince's explanation was simple and clear.
Hearing the Third Prince's words, Prince Rui said disapprovingly: "You knocked out Prince Dafeng in the heavily guarded palace. Third brother should stop talking nonsense and use everyone for fun!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Wantai came out of the house with an incense burner in his hand.
Prince Rui could not hide his shock and subconsciously looked at Concubine Li. At this time, Concubine Li also had her eyes wide open, as if she couldn't believe what she saw.
Emperor Yuan Jing's expression softened, and he asked in a gentle voice, "Why is Tai'er here too?"
"It's like this. I came to give a birthday gift to the Imperial Concubine. On the way, I happened to see Miss Yan being brought here by a palace servant. I followed her out of curiosity and saw with my own eyes that the palace servant locked Miss Yan into the house. Miss Yan is my fiancée. I was worried about her safety, so I pried open the lock and entered the house. I didn't expect that the unconscious Third Prince was also in the house."
Yu Wantai handed the incense burner in his hand to Emperor Yuanjing's personal eunuch and said, "This incense burner was found under the bed in the inner room. It contains cold incense from the Western Regions that can make people intoxicated. It is obvious that someone wants to murder my fiancée. Fortunately, I arrived in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. Your Majesty, please make the decision for me." After saying that, he lifted up his clothes and knelt on the ground.
The third prince also lifted his robe and knelt aside. Perhaps because he was not valued, he did not say a word.
Seeing this, Yan Muxi also knelt down hurriedly and said, "Your Majesty, I have been persecuted for no reason. Please help me, Your Majesty."
Emperor Yuanjing frowned and remained silent for a long time.
Yan Muxi glanced at Concubine Li and her son who were both filled with shock, and then at the uncle and nephew who both looked aggrieved.
I couldn't help but complain in my heart that in the harem, a place where people are eaten without leaving any bones, it is really difficult for people with a little bit of common sense to gain a foothold.
She felt that her sense of smell was quite sensitive, as she hadn't smelled even a hint of fragrance just now. It must be that the Third Prince had tampered with the incense burner in advance.
The Third Prince did not panic when he encountered trouble at such a young age. He was able to patiently lie in wait for the opportunity to turn the tables. No wonder Yu Wantai said that the Third Prince was very cunning. He really was very cunning.
She was really curious. If Yu Wantai had not appeared today and she had no ability to escape, how would the Third Prince respond?
