After Su Muqing and the other two left the Holy Spirit Tower, they quickly walked towards the Elders' Council.

"Brother, could it be that Xiao... Yunluo really got into trouble?" Su Muyao asked with a worried look on her face.

She subconsciously wanted to say the word "Miss", but suddenly remembered that Ji Xingyi was there too, so she quickly changed her words.

Su Muqing shook his head: "I don't know either, but what the student and Su Muxue said just now made me feel uneasy.

The elders' council is in front of us. We can ask a few elders to find out the truth of the matter."

Su Mucheng said this, secretly clenching his fists.

I hope nothing turns out to be as that student and Su Muxue said.

Hopefully, these are just rumors.

Ji Xingyi looked at the Elders' Council in front of him, feeling a little uneasy.

I secretly prayed that Yunluo would be safe.

...

the other side.

Xue Wanwan, who was pruning flowers in the yard, became excited instantly when she heard from Lin Yuehe that Yun Luo was dead.

"What did you say? Yunluo is really dead?!"

"Yes, everyone is discussing this matter now. I think it must be true, otherwise the academy would not sit idly by." Lin Yuehe also looked excited.

She and Xue Wanwan were good friends who grew up together. Before, Yun Luo had always been better than Xue Wanwan, and she was also resentful of Yun Luo in her heart.

Moreover, with Yun Luoluo around, Xue Wanwan would most likely not be able to become the Crown Princess, which would also be detrimental to her family.

After all, the Lin family and the prime minister's residence are on the same boat. They prosper together and suffer together.

So she had been unhappy with Yunluo for a long time.

I wish Yunluo would disappear sooner.

"That's great!" Xue Wanwan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

There was a gleam of viciousness in his eyes.

Just now she was still worried about why the people she sent out had not sent back any news yet, and she thought the plan had failed.

I didn't expect such a sudden turn of events, which is really cause for celebration.

Now that Yun Luo is dead, no one will ever compete with her for the position of Crown Princess.

She sneered, cut off the most beautiful flower on the branch with a snap, threw it on the ground, and crushed it into pieces with her foot.

Yunluo, this is what happens when you go against me.

If you overestimate your own abilities, you will end up in trouble.

When Xue Wanwan was feeling very proud, Nangong Ling suddenly walked in angrily.

"Xue Wanwan! Tell the truth, did you do it?"

Xue Wanwan glanced at her and snorted coldly.

There were no outsiders around at this time, and Lin Yuehe was on her side, so there was no need for her to pretend to please Nangong Ling.

No matter what she does, Nangong Ling will not give her a good look.

So why should she do this?

"I do not know what you're talking about."

"Xue Wanwan, stop playing dumb with this princess! Sister Luo encountered a killer in the secret realm. Do you dare to say that it was not you who ordered it?!"

Nangong Ling had just returned from the Council of Elders and had learned from Chen Yihai and others everything that had happened in the secret realm.

Chen Yihai and the others didn't know the identities of Lian Jue and Yun Rourou, but when they thought of the group of killers they had encountered before, they thought that Lian Jue and Yun Rourou were in cahoots with those killers.

Nangong Ling thought about it and couldn't think of anyone else other than Xue Wanwan who would hate Yun Luo so much.

Moreover, there are only a few people in the entire continent who can ask a top expert like Lian Jue to take action.

And the Prime Minister's Mansion just happens to have that strength.

So who else could it be besides Xue Wanwan?

I have to say, this time Nangong Ling is telling the truth.

Although Lian Jue was not the killer hired by Xue Wanwan, the previous killers were indeed hired by Xue Wanwan at a large sum of money.

In order to avoid arousing suspicion, Xue Wanwan did not dare to use people from the Prime Minister's Mansion, but secretly went to hire people from the killer organization.

However, she didn't know what happened in the secret realm, so she thought that it was the assassins she hired who killed Yun Luo, so naturally she couldn't admit it at the moment.

"Princess Ling'er, you have to have evidence when you speak. You said I hired a killer to deal with Yun Luo. Where is the evidence?"

Xue Wanwan is very confident.

Killer organizations will not disclose information about their employers at will.

Moreover, she had specially disguised herself at the time, so she was not afraid of being found out.

"You...!" Nangong Ling was anxious.

Although she has no evidence now, she dares to conclude that the murder must have been done by Xue Wanwan.

But she didn't expect that Xue Wanwan would be so rampant.

"Don't be so complacent. I will find evidence sooner or later!"

"Okay, then please find the evidence and then convict me," Xue Wanwan said with great arrogance.

Nangong Lingqi was gritting his teeth, but he couldn't do anything about Xue Wanwan. He almost exploded on the spot.

At this moment, an extremely cold voice suddenly sounded behind them.

"I, the Crown Prince, had no idea that Prime Minister Xue's daughter was so eloquent."

Xue Wanwan was startled and quickly turned around to see Nangong Heng, with a cold face, appearing at the gate of the courtyard at some point.

"Your Highness?" Xue Wanwan's expression changed immediately.

When did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince show up? Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince heard everything she just said? !

If that were the case, then all her careful planning would be in vain.

“Brother Crown Prince!” Nangong Ling’s expression was delighted, and she quickly ran to Nangong Heng: “Brother Crown Prince, why are you here? I heard that you were injured, and I was going to come over to see you later.”

"Don't worry, it's all right now." Nangong Heng said, looking at Xue Wanwan with cold eyes, "If I hadn't come, how would I have known that Prime Minister Xue's daughter was so secretive."

Nangong Ling was stunned.

Then I quickly understood.

So the conversation between her and Xue Wanwan just now was heard by the Crown Prince?

fair enough.

In this way, the Crown Prince can see Xue Wanwan's true face clearly.

Xue Wanwan panicked: "No, Your Highness, it's not like that. Please listen to my explanation!"

"Xue Wanwan, what else do you have to explain? The Crown Prince has heard it with his own ears. Your true face can no longer be hidden!" Nangong Ling said with relief.

"No, that's not the case. It's really not the case, Your Highness..."

"Enough!" Nangong Heng glanced at Xue Wanwan coldly and said, "Whether it is true or not, this prince knows it in his heart. Someone, go and investigate this matter for me. We must get to the bottom of it!"

"Yes!" In the shadows, a figure left like a ghost.

They were Nangong Heng's secret guards, who only took orders from Nangong Heng and usually would not show up in public.

When Xue Wanwan heard this, her face suddenly turned pale.

I never thought that things would develop to this point.

She knew that once Nangong Heng went to investigate, everything she had done would be exposed.
