Chapter 1559: The Person Behind the Scenes
Translator: Lonelytree
After the banquet ended, Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan returned to their rooms.
Lin Yuelan smiled and asked,” Brother Nan, how is it?”
Jiang Zhennan said,” None of them survived!”
Lin Yuelan sneered.” Oh. Then I want to see how exciting tomorrow will be!”
In the Imperial City Courier Station, Xiao Jingrui slapped Xiao Jingyu.” Bastard, you can’t even do this!”
Xiao Jingrui’s expression was very gloomy and fierce.
He didn’t have a good expression on his face.
Xiao Jingyu knelt on the ground, her face extremely pale. One side of her face was slapped and instantly swelled up. However, she could not resist and could only endure it.
Xiao Jingyu quickly admitted her mistake, but she still explained, “But I didn’t expect the Emperor of the Longyan Dynasty to have stayed in Taoyuan Village! Previously, our people went to investigate, but they didn’t find out where he went at all!”
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been so stupid as to use Liu Xinren to go to the Lin Family Village and find Lin Yuelan’s relatives.
She would definitely think of other strategies to pull Lin Yuelan down from her position.
Xiao Jingrui listened to Xiao Jingyu’s explanation. He put his hands behind his back and said with his back to Xiao Jingyu,” Is everything cleaned up now?” Xiao Jingyu’s hand on the ground clenched slightly. Then, she reported,” I’ve already sent people over, but they haven’t returned!”
This was what she was most worried about.
According to the plan, the person sent out should have returned to report.
However, the whole night passed, and there was no news at all!
Xiao Jingrui’s eyes turned sharp, and his cold voice was suspicious. “Have they not returned?”
Xiao Jingyu did not dare to hide it, so she could only bite the bullet and say,” Yes!”
Then, she looked at Xiao Jingrui, who had his back to her and was rubbing the ring on his thumb with one hand. She said anxiously,” Your Highness, they…
Could something have happened to them?”
If something happened to them, it meant that things were developing in an uncontrollable direction.
If Jiang Zhennan and the others found out that she was involved in what happened during the day, then as the princess of the marriage alliance, the Emperor would not punish her, but he would definitely make a fuss about her identity.
It was most likely that she would be demoted from the imperial grandprince’s consort to an ordinary wife or a noble concubine.
A princess of the Black Clouds Kingdom who was favoured by the emperor would be demoted to a common wife or a noble concubine in another country. Wasn’t that a joke?
Xiao Jingrui kept rubbing his green ring. He was calm and thought for a moment before saying to Xiao Jingyu, ” Push everything to Liu Xinren. As for what to do,”
He turned around and glanced coldly at Xiao Jingyu, who was kneeling on the ground. He said coldly,” You don’t need me to teach you!”
Xiao Jingyu’s expression froze for a moment. Then, she replied,” Yes, Your
Highness!”
“You may leave!”
“Yes, Your Highness!” Xiao Jingyu said respectfully.
After Xiao Jingyu went out, Xiao Jingrui’s hand slammed the table next to him and suddenly turned into fragments, showing his profound skill.
If Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan were here, they might be surprised that his internal energy was actually on par with Jiang Zhennan’s.
This was incredible.
Jiang Zhennan had deep inner energy. Other than his master’s sixty-year-old inner energy, he had also absorbed the essence of the sun and moon and transformed it into inner energy with the help of Lin Yuelan and Little Green. He had broken through to a higher level of inner energy.
However, Xiao Jingrui didn’t have such a fortuitous encounter as Jiang
Zhennan.
However, why was his internal strength so deep?
Xiao Jingrui was as violent as before the storm, dark and cold. Under his eyes, there was a strong interweaving of anger, jealousy, desire, ambition and other emotions.
If the plan failed today, he didn’t know when he would have the chance to turn Lin Yuelan into an ordinary person.
“Men!” Xiao Jingrui shouted.
“Your Highness!” Someone immediately entered.
“Go investigate Taoyuan Village again and see what secrets there are.” Xiao
Jingrui sternly ordered,” They didn’t even find out that His Majesty of the Longyan Dynasty had been to Taoyuan Village. It’s a serious mistake. Make sure the relevant personnel receive their own punishment!”
“Yes, Your Highness!” Then, this person disappeared from this space like a gust of wind.
Xiao Jingrui sat on the chair and looked at the debris on the ground. He smiled coldly and said,” It’s getting more and more interesting! Lin Yuelan, the more mysterious you are, the more curious I am about you and the more I want you.
What should I do?”
The next day, the Ministry of Justice opened its doors. The Ministry of Justice was going to hear a case today.
This case involved the princess of Guguo.
Because someone had slandered and framed the princess of the Guguo, saying that after she climbed up the social ladder, she became cold-blooded and heartless. For this reason, these relatives went to the capital to complain.
But the result was the opposite.
Princess Gu’s relatives went to the capital to eventually confess that someone had ordered them to do so and promised them certain benefits. To achieve their goal, they did not hesitate to destroy Princess Gu’s image.
Fortunately, the Emperor already investigated the truth!
What was even more satisfying was that evil would eventually be punished. These people, because of their evil deeds, had finally attracted retribution and received the punishment of the heavens.
The minister thought that as long as he found out who was behind this, this case would be solved. However, he never expected that in just one night, someone would barge into the prison and murder Lin Laosan’s family and the villagers of the Lin Family Village. In the prison, blood flowed like a river. It was a tragic sight. The actions of the person behind the scenes were really infuriating!
Thus, the case was not over yet!
