Moonlight Love Poem

Chapter 79 Assassination

Brian and I stayed by the lake for a while, listening to more and more people's voices, and finally decided to separate the two of us. I will return to the original place first, and Brian will continue to stay in the forest until most of the people come back. Come back sometime.

Walking along the way, I saw a lot of arrows falling on the ground. The blood stained on the arrows stained the green grass leaves. There were no prey around, presumably they had been picked up by the followers.

A gust of wind blew past my ears, and I turned my head, but I didn't see anyone shooting arrows.My intuition woke me up, and I had already pulled out the sword at my waist.At this moment, there was an exclamation in front of me, my heart tightened, and I ran to the noisy place quickly.

The nobles were crying in the middle, and Princess Marlene was arguing with the third prince. The third prince's already gloomy face was as pale as death. He was silently held by Princess Marlene, his eyes were empty. .The crown prince and the emperor are gone, but the one who can make these nobles cry around...

My heart skipped a beat, and I quickly stepped forward to push aside the crowd and interrupted their words. The emperor was lying on the lawn, his face pale and his eyes closed.His chest was shot by an arrow, and the blood stained his skirt. I trembled involuntarily, and squatted down to check his breathing.

Although a little weak, there is indeed a hot breath.I breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the emperor's appearance, my heart ached again. I stood up and said, "Has the medical officer arrived yet? Have you called? Where is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

A familiar lady said tremblingly: "I called, but I haven't rushed over yet."

I looked at her face, it turned out to be the young lady who was about to snatch the cat from me just now, and continued to ask: "What about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Another male voice responded: "I also asked people to look for it..."

I forced myself to calm down, now if I follow the panic, it will really get out of hand here.The people around were pushed aside by me, Princess Marlene was still talking nonsense about the third prince, I stopped her and told her to calm down, now is not the time for her to be here.

Princess Marlene was stunned for a moment, and began to cover her face and cry. The third prince who had lost his shackles was still expressionless, as if he had lost his soul, and he was completely motionless.The medical officers finally arrived long after they saw this scene. They also turned pale when they saw this scene, and carried His Majesty down on a stretcher.

Looking at the backs of them leaving, I still can't relax my heart. The crown prince has not appeared for a long time, and I don't know if I will also encounter some danger.Besides, Brian also stayed in the forest, and if he really encountered an assassin, would he be able to solve it?

There was a sound of footsteps gradually approaching the forest in front of me. I pulled out my sword and told these people to back off, preparing for someone to come out and kill in the next second.

Fortunately, it was not the killer who appeared, but the crown prince and Brian in tandem.The moment I saw these two people, my heart that had been hanging on the cliff fell firmly to the shore again. My hands trembled, I glanced at Brian, and quickly looked back at the crown prince.

"What's the matter?" the crown prince asked, his eyes turned on my face, "Could there be an assassin?"

I put the sword back into the scabbard, and told him the cause and effect as calmly as possible. When I heard the back, the Crown Prince looked behind me and said calmly: "So, when you came back, His Majesty was already lying on the ground with an arrow. on the ground?"

"Yes." I nodded, "When I heard the screams, there were already people surrounding His Majesty. Princess Marlene was entangled with His Highness the Third Prince, and I don't know what happened."

The crown prince let out an oh, passed me, and went straight to the crowd.

I looked at his back, and my hand was touched by Brian beside him.I turned my head to look at Brian, and I was very glad to see that he was intact, and said in a low voice, "Fortunately, you are fine."

"Are you worried about me?" Brian looked at me and said softly, "Your face turned pale with fright."

In such a tense situation, I can't talk too much with Brian, so I responded in a low voice and continued to look in the direction of the crown prince.He first said something to the third prince, and then walked to Princess Marlene's side.

"Imperial Concubine, you and Your Majesty have been staying together. You should know exactly when His Majesty was assassinated." The Crown Prince paused for a moment, and then said, "Your Majesty is seriously injured, but you want to quarrel with the Third Prince. Could it be that the third prince moved his hand?"

Princess Marlene's expression froze, and she forced the corners of her mouth to deny it.

"How could it be?" she said, "I was just a little irritable before and offended the Third Highness. It has nothing to do with the Third Highness. I was just not sober at the time."

"Can this kind of thing be explained by a misunderstanding?" The crown prince said calmly, "Princess, you and the third prince are now suspects. Please go to the high tower prison before the father wakes up."

The third prince remained indifferent, looking like a dead man.

Princess Marlene's face turned pale when she heard these words, she staggered a step, but her hand was still tightly holding the feather fan, with disbelief on her face.She seemed to have heard a ridiculous sentence, her brows were tightly furrowed, and her red lips were slightly parted.After a while, she pursed her lips tightly, stood up straight, raised her head slightly, and snorted coldly: "Your Highness, you are not qualified to do this. I am your mother, Your Majesty's only concubine."

"My mother is the dead queen of the empire." The crown prince turned his head to look at the third prince. At this moment, I saw his side face, which was handsome and cold, but the coldness seemed to be instantaneous. illusion.He pursed his lips, turned his head, and all I could see was his platinum hair.

"Besides, Your Majesty is not the only imperial concubine, that poisonous imperial concubine was also imprisoned in the high tower prison," he smiled, his voice was a little arrogant and pitiful, "I forgot, you may not know."

After saying this, the crown prince waved his hand and called his secretary. Secretary Hudson brought a group of soldiers who did not know when they would appear, and tied up Princess Marlene and the third concubine .

Was it what he ordered just now?Doubts flashed through my mind. Just now, there were no soldiers except the nobles.

Princess Marlene kept struggling, the crown prince turned his head and said something to Hudson, and the next second, Princess Marlene was knocked out by the secretary.The crown prince turned around, lowered his head and adjusted his white gloves.

A trace of bright red appeared on his palm, I was startled, and wanted to go forward and ask.

Brian's voice came out: "Ans, what is the third prince doing?"

My attention was drawn, and I looked at the third prince who had been escorted away. I saw that the third prince who had been motionless before suddenly struggled violently. His neck looked at the crown prince, and a short cry came from his throat.

The Crown Prince was attracted, walked up to him, and asked, "What's wrong?"

The third prince was twisted by the soldiers, and he uttered a few words with difficulty. His voice was intermittent. I listened quietly and found that he was asking Miss Eliza why she didn't come.

Do you still think about her at this time?I was a little dazed, watching the crown prince leaned over and said something in a low voice.The third prince showed a sad expression, yelled loudly a few times, and stopped talking.

"Let's go." The crown prince straightened up and ordered the soldiers to continue, while he went to the noble children and talked with them.

"Ans." Brian squeezed my hand and whispered, "Why are you so sad?"

I turned my face away and looked at Brian's concerned eyes. The pinched fingertips felt cold to the touch. I don't know why, but I got some warmth from this contact, and my heart felt more at ease. I whispered: " The third prince seems to really love Miss Elisa."

I didn't say any more, but Brian hummed and understood what I meant.

The crown prince's voice sounded, and Brian let go of me.

"Ansair, where did you go just now?" The crown prince stood still in front of me, his eyes swept over Brian, and then returned to me.

Is he suspicious of me?I pursed my lips and answered casually: "Just now I took a walk in the forest, and then I watched the scenery by the lake for a while."

The crown prince nodded, and then said: "There is nothing else going on here, you should go and see Auston."

I didn't expect such a development, so I was stunned: "But didn't you say last time, Your Highness——"

"I take back that sentence." The crown prince wrote lightly, "As his future wife, don't you want to go?"

As he spoke, he added: "He just woke up this morning."

I know what he means. He told me that Auston's dragon blood period originally lasted for a week, but in order for me to force it to end in one day, and Auston had been injured before, I wanted to be in a coma for a while It is inevitable.

"Go." Brian said calmly with deep eyes, "I have something to talk to Your Highness."

The crown prince didn't deny it either. I glanced at Brian, finally nodded, turned and left, and walked towards the high tower prison.

The soldiers under the High Tower Prison saw me and did not stop me. I went up to the top of the tower smoothly and arrived at the cell where Auston was being held. I even opened the door smoothly. The medical officer was packing up the boxes and stood up. , I was slightly taken aback when I saw me, I raised my hand to signal that he didn't need to salute, walked in, looked at Oston lying on the bed and asked him how he was doing.

"Because His Highness has a special reason, he can only be treated slowly, and there is no major problem." He said, "It will be better in a few days."

"Well, you go out." I breathed a sigh of relief.

After the medical officer closed the door, I sat where he had just been, and waited for Alston to wake up.

Alston lay peacefully on the bed, with disheveled black hair, a white bandage wrapped around his forehead, a handsome face with sharp edges and corners, covered with long and thick eyelashes, the sun shone on his face, and there was a faint shadow under his eyes. The thin lips under the bridge of the straight nose were slightly pursed, as if she was refusing others to approach her in her dream.

I laughed in a low voice, realizing that such a thought was not respectful, and covered my lips.

Oston moved, and he opened his eyes. When he saw me, his icy blue eyes turned into vertical pupils, and then he blinked quickly, returning to normal.

He sat up and looked at me intently: "Did you come to see me?"

The author says:

Auston posted, at present, he still retains the character of a dragon, so Ans, please say something nice to coax him (pointing), otherwise I will not guarantee your safety (wait, it seems that you are here to reject him... ...)
