After the male supporting role stopped interfering, the female protagonist suffered

Three months later, the Third Prince and Wang Juan returned to Kyoto covered in wounds.

All the people they took with them died except them.

When Shen Yue met Wang Juan and saw how bruised and battered he was, she cried.

"Don't cry! I'm fine. Fortunately, we came back alive."

Hearing this, Shen Yue burst into tears. She had never cried so miserably before.

She called Wang Juan's name twice and said with difficulty: "Wang Juan, you are all I have left."

"What do you mean?"

Wang Juan and the third prince were only concerned with escaping and paid no attention to anything else.

"My entire Shen family was wiped out. All died overnight."

As Shen Yue spoke, tears fell from her eyes one by one, and her heart was pinched with pain.

"How could it be? The only person in Dongqing who has such ability...besides the prince, the only one is the emperor."

Wang Juan's eyes were slightly red, and he looked at Shen Yue with pity and heartache.

If it really is the emperor, then...will they be enemies?

"Prince? The third prince was assassinated in Pingzhou, and the one who did it was the crown prince. The crown prince's people went to Pingzhou, so how could he go to Qinzhou to kill people?"

"As for the Second Prince? I asked someone to investigate. The guards around him are all there, and no one has left the Second Prince's mansion."

"So, who do you think it is?"

If the prince is excluded, then it is obvious who the next person could be.

"My Shen family is rich enough to rival a country. On the night of the extermination, all the money and gold in the house were emptied. Banknotes, land deeds and other paper items were all burned. Tell me, who has the ability to do this? Can the prince do it?"

All signs point to one thing, that it was the emperor's doing.

"Yuer, don't worry, I will help you investigate the matter of the extermination of the family."

Wang Juan had just returned to Kyoto and had no idea what was going on. He was also seriously injured.

At this time, the housekeeper came in and said, "Master, thank you for coming."

"Well! Let him in."

Wang Juan leaned back in the recliner and glanced at Shen Yue.

Shen Yue nodded slightly, turned and entered the secret room behind Wang Juan, just in time to hear what was being said outside.

Xie You came in and first asked about Wang Juan's physical condition, and also talked about him being hunted in Pingzhou.

"The emperor was furious about the incident in Pingzhou, and none of the hundred secret riders returned. The emperor asked you to reflect in the palace."

At this point, Xie You frowned, feeling a little unhappy.

"All matters concerning the Dark Knights are now in the charge of Deputy Commander Xia Long. Xia Long has been promoted to a regular position."

"But because of the Shen family's affairs, I was scolded to death."

"The Shen family was wiped out overnight, and all their wealth that was as rich as a country disappeared. The emperor was furious and almost drew his sword to kill Xia Long."

Speaking of this, Xie You felt a little gloating. It was Xia Long's fault for always being so domineering. He deserved it!

"Brother Wang, you should know that the emperor has more than just us secret cavalry, there are also..."

Xie You didn't finish what he said, but how could Wang Juan not know what he meant?

"I see. How is the Third Prince?"

Wang Juan knew in his heart that he could no longer return to the Dark Cavalry.

"It's okay. It will be fine after a few months of nursing. But all of the prince's secret guards are dead."

At this point, Xie You looked at Wang Juan and continued, "Don't you think there is a third group of people?"

"The third wave?"

Wang Juan was puzzled. How could there be a third wave of people? He didn't sense the presence of a third wave of people at all.

"If there was no third wave of people, then who collected the bodies of these secret guards and secret riders?"

It turned out that after receiving Wang Juan's letter for help, Xie You sent people to Pingzhou, but by accident, they all missed each other.

I was clearly following their trail, but I only saw bloodstains, no bodies.

"After you sent the letter, I sent dark riders to pick you up. But, they were always just a little short, as if some force was guiding them to get closer to you, but unable to save you."

"Where you fought, there were no bodies except blood. Who do you think did it? Who has such power?"

"He watched you being assassinated and helped the secret cavalry and secret guards collect the bodies. He is really a good man."

Xie You's tone was somewhat sarcastic, and he said with certainty: "The people who cleaned up the mess must be the same group of people who wiped out the entire Shen family."

"The Second Prince has been poisoned, and now the Crown Prince is the only one in power. Who is the most afraid?"

Xie You’s words almost directly mentioned the emperor, so no matter how you look at it, he is the emperor.

Emperor Dongqing: I can’t carry the cauldron of the heavens. I can’t carry it.

Zhou Hui: There’s another good show to watch.

Wang Juan was silent. He was not a fool.

He naturally knew that the emperor had always used the second prince as a whetstone for the crown prince.

Now that the second prince is crippled, the third prince has been assassinated and has become the second whetstone.

If the third prince is also crippled, doesn't that mean the emperor will have to personally fight the crown prince?

"Some things should be said after a certain point. Be careful, walls may have ears."

Wang Juan knew very well how strict the surveillance of ministers by Emperor Dongqing was. Perhaps someone in your mansion could be the emperor's spy.

Xie You closed his mouth and said nothing more.

After a long silence, Xie You finally spoke: "Both incidents had nothing to do with the Second Prince. I was afraid that he would cause trouble, so I sent people to monitor the Second Prince's mansion."

Regardless of whether the second prince is a whetstone or not, his ability to stir up trouble in the past was extraordinary.

So, he sent his trusted aides to guard the Second Prince's mansion.

During the three months, the Second Prince's personal guards came out to buy flowers and cakes, but they never left the capital.

"Hmm. What's going on at the Imperial Hospital?"

Wang Juan pinched his brows and felt tired. He had been away for three months and had been hunted for three months. Anyone would be tired.

"Nothing happened. It can't be cured anyway."

How could the Soul-Breaking Liquid cure the disease? Even if the poison was removed, it would not restore the original health.

"Hmm! There's nothing Bright Moon can do?"

Wang Juan still cared about the Second Prince's health, after all, they used to be good friends.

Xie You shook his head. There was nothing that could be done. The Second Prince was doomed.

In the Second Prince's mansion, Yin Ren, Yin Ling and Yin Sha were hoeing the ground, loosening the soil for the flowers and weeding.

"Do a good job! I'll reward you with chicken legs tonight."

Zhou Hui looked at Yin Ren and the other two with a smile. They were such a good labor force, it would be a waste if they were not used.

"Yes!"

The three Silver Blades worked harder and harder, mainly because nothing interesting had happened recently.

"Yin Ling, go to the palace and the third brother's place and bring some medicine. Go check on them for me. They are so pitiful. I heard that they are all injured and can't get up. What a pity! My legs are not strong enough, otherwise I would see with my own eyes how miserable they are."

Zhou Hui's eyes were filled with regret, but it was a pity that he couldn't bear to see their miserable appearance.

However, I will let Yin Ling come back and explain it in detail when the time comes.

"Yes!"

Yin Ling stood up and brushed off the grass on his body, his tone full of joy.

Yin Ren and Yin Sha looked at Yin Ling with envy and jealousy. They didn't understand why they didn't have a share in such a good thing?

"What are you two looking at each other like that?"

Ever since they developed the hobby of growing flowers, their eyes have become much clearer and cleaner.
