Rebirth of Her Royal Highness the Princess
Chapter 166 Demoted to Common People
Hua Xiulan learned that Jun Moli was hiding something from her recently, so she sent someone to follow him secretly. She was shocked when she followed him. Jun Moli was still in contact with Hu Wan.
"What? Are you sure you didn't see it wrong? It's Hu Wan?" Hua Xiulan asked in surprise.
"Yes, I am not mistaken. It is indeed Madam Hu."
Hua Xiulan's heart sank. She had known for a long time that Hu Wan was not a simple character, but she didn't expect that she would dare to have a secret relationship with Jun Moli behind her back.
"Keep keeping an eye on them and report to me immediately if there is any movement." Hua Xiulan ordered.
She decided to wait and see what Hu Wan was up to. At the same time, she had to find a way to make Jun Moli more honest with her and not let him hide anything from her.
Hua Xiulan suddenly thought, "Who else besides Hu Wan?"
"Um... there's another man, probably around forty years old. Oh, and I seemed to hear Hu Wan calling him father."
"Hu Wan's father?" Hua Xiulan frowned. She seemed to have never heard of this person, and doubts arose in her heart.
After a moment of silence, she slowly said, "Keep following! Go down."
"Yes." The subordinate replied, then turned and left.
Hua Xiulan stood there, staring into the distance, thinking about the relationship between this mysterious man and Hu Wan. She felt that things were becoming more and more complicated, and more clues were needed to solve the mystery.
She decided to investigate Hu Wan's father in person to find out his origins. At the same time, she asked her men to continue tracking their whereabouts so as to keep abreast of the latest developments.
Hua Xiulan returned to her room and waited for Jun Moli to return. As night fell, Jun Moli finally entered the mansion.
"You're back." Hua Xiulan greeted with a smile.
"Why do you rest so early today?" Jun Moli asked.
"I have something on my mind that I want to talk to you about." Hua Xiulan poured a glass of wine for Jun Moli, "Let's drink and talk."
Jun Moli looked at Hua Xiulan, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he still sat down. The two raised their glasses and took small sips.
"Mo Li, have you been hiding something from me recently?" Hua Xiulan went straight to the point.
Jun Moli's expression changed slightly, but soon recovered. "Why do you ask?"
"I know you are still in contact with Hu Wan." Hua Xiulan said calmly, but looked at Jun Moli with firm eyes.
Jun Moli lowered his head and said nothing.
"I'm not blaming you, I just hope you can be honest with me." Hua Xiulan gently held Jun Moli's hand.
Jun Moli raised his head and looked into Hua Xiulan's eyes, "I promise you, I will never hide anything from you again in the future."
"Then tell me why you still want to keep in touch with Hu Wan. Are you still obsessed with her?" Hua Xiulan pouted and said aggrievedly.
"No, no, it's... her father." Jun Moli quickly explained.
"Who is her father?" Hua Xiulan asked.
"Her father was a general of the previous dynasty and is now the boss of the Shadow Organization." Jun Moli said.
"Shadow Organization?" Hua Xiulan asked in surprise.
"Yes, the Shadow Organization is a very mysterious and powerful organization. Their members are all masters, and their actions are very secretive. Few people know of their existence." Jun Moli said.
"What about you?" Hua Xiulan looked at the man in front of her puzzledly.
"I have cooperated with the Shadow Organization before because of some things, so I got to know Hu Wan's father." Jun Moli held Hua Xiulan's hand tightly, "But I promise, there is really nothing between Hu Wan and me. I only had to deal with her father for our future."
Hua Xiulan looked at Jun Moli, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes, "Will this shadow organization pose a threat to us?"
Jun Moli shook his head. "At the moment, they don't pose a threat to us."
Hua Xiulan nodded to show that she understood. "But if you have any problems in the future, you must tell me and we can face them together."
Jun Moli smiled gently, "Don't worry, I get it."
The two smiled at each other, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.
Jun Moli still didn't want to tell her that he was a member of the Shadow Organization. But Hua Xiulan knew that he was an orphan of the previous dynasty.
Jun Moli and Hu Wan's father Hu Ling discussed some things these days, and they decided to temporarily and secretly help King Kang suppress King Xuan.
A trace of worry flashed across Hua Xiulan's eyes. She knew that the strength of the Shadow Organization should not be underestimated. "Should we prepare for it in advance?" she asked softly.
Jun Moli put his arm around her shoulders and comforted her, "Don't worry, I know what to do."
Hua Xiulan nodded and leaned into his arms. Although she was still a little uneasy, she chose to believe Jun Moli.
However, Hua Xiulan didn't know that a bigger storm was brewing. The actions of the shadow organization became more frequent, and their targets seemed to be not only King Kang and King Xuan...
One day, King Kang was assassinated again. He returned to the palace in a state of embarrassment, and King Xuan came to greet him with a gloating look: "Brother, are you okay? Look at you, how come you are so badly injured?"
King Kang stared at King Xuan, his heart filled with anger and dissatisfaction, but he still resisted the pain and responded: "Second brother, are you disappointed that I am not dead yet?"
King Xuan was shocked by King Kang's words and quickly waved his hands to explain: "Brother, please don't misunderstand me. I just care about you! You are my dear brother, how could I hope that anything bad would happen to you?"
King Kang sneered, with a flash of disdain in his eyes: "Huh, is that so? Thank you very much for your concern, second brother. However, I know very well in my heart how much resentment you have towards me."
King Xuan's face turned a little awkward. He tried to hide his true thoughts: "Brother, you really misunderstood. We are brothers after all. How could I have the intention to harm you? This incident was just an accident. Please don't think too much about it."
King Kang looked at King Xuan deeply and stopped talking. He knew that King Xuan had always been jealous and dissatisfied with him, and this assassination might also be related to King Xuan. But now, he needed to heal his wounds first, and then find a way to deal with the next situation.
"Princess, it's bad! His Royal Highness Prince Kang... He was assassinated!" Chun Tao rushed in from outside, her face full of anxiety and worry. She panted and said to Hua Xiulan incoherently: "I just got the news that His Royal Highness Prince Kang... He was assassinated on his way to the temple outside the city to pray! Now he is still alive or dead!"
Upon hearing the news, Hua Xiulan's face instantly turned gloomy. She stood up abruptly, clenched her fists tightly, and her eyes flashed with anger. She gritted her teeth and said, "Damn it! Who dares to be so bold as to assassinate His Royal Highness Prince Kang in broad daylight?"
"Princess, please calm down. We don't know who did it yet, but it is speculated that it was most likely King Xuan." Chun Tao replied solemnly.
"King Xuan? Humph!" Hua Xiulan snorted coldly, her heart filled with resentment. She knew very well that King Xuan had always been dissatisfied with King Kang and had tried to murder him many times. The assassination of King Kang this time was most likely planned by King Xuan.
"Princess, we must take action as soon as possible. We can't let His Royal Highness Prince Kang suffer in vain." Chuntao said anxiously.
Hua Xiulan pondered for a moment and said firmly, "Gather people immediately to investigate this matter. At the same time, send people to the area near where His Royal Highness Prince Kang was assassinated to look for clues. Also, prepare the carriages and horses. I want to go to the palace to meet the emperor in person."
"Yes, Princess." Chuntao responded.
At this time, Jun Moli slowly walked into Linglong Pavilion. He looked at Hua Xiulan and said softly, "Lan'er, be patient. This matter is not simple, we need to act with caution."
Hua Xiulan frowned and asked in confusion: "Mo Li, why do you say that? Is there something else hidden?"
Jun Moli nodded and explained, "It is indeed heartbreaking that His Royal Highness Prince Kang was assassinated, but we cannot easily believe rumors. Perhaps there is a deeper conspiracy and calculation behind this."
After hearing this, Hua Xiulan said thoughtfully: "What Mo Li said makes sense. But we can't just sit back and do nothing. His Royal Highness Prince Kang is my elder brother. How can I feel at ease when he is still alive or dead?"
Jun Moli gently patted Hua Xiulan's shoulder and comforted her, "Lan'er, I understand how you feel. But at this moment we should think calmly and find out who is behind this. If we rush into the palace to see the emperor, we might alert the enemy and it will be detrimental to our efforts to find out the real culprit."
Hua Xiulan sighed and said helplessly: "Okay, Mo Li, what should we do next?"
Jun Moli smiled and said confidently: "First, we have to secretly investigate whether King Xuan is related to this matter. Secondly, pay close attention to the movements in the palace to see if anyone takes this opportunity to fan the flames. Finally, after everything is clear, report the truth to the emperor."
Hua Xiulan nodded in agreement. She said gratefully, "Mo Li, thank you for your reminder. I almost acted on impulse."
Jun Moli smiled gently and said, "Lan'er, you're welcome. As long as we work together, we will be able to protect His Royal Highness Prince Kang and find the real culprit."
Hua Xiulan and Jun Moli began to investigate the assassination of King Kang. They collected clues and checked suspects, but they could not find conclusive evidence pointing to King Xuan.
At the same time, King Xuan heard about Hua Xiulan's actions in the palace and was secretly proud of himself. He originally thought that Hua Xiulan would impulsively complain to the emperor, but he didn't expect her to be so calm and composed.
King Xuan decided to take this opportunity to spread some unfavorable rumors about King Kang in an attempt to confuse the public. However, his plan did not work.
Hua Xiulan had already anticipated that King Xuan would do this. She secretly arranged for people to collect evidence, preparing to deal a fatal blow to King Xuan at the appropriate time.
Soon, Hua Xiulan found some key clues that pointed to King Xuan. She presented the evidence to the emperor, who was furious and ordered a thorough investigation.
Eventually, King Xuan's crimes were exposed, and he was demoted to a commoner, never to be allowed to enter the palace again. King Kang also gradually recovered under the careful treatment of the imperial physician.
After this incident, Hua Xiulan and Jun Moli's relationship deepened. They worked together to overcome difficulties and protect the peace of the palace.
