Chapter 271 The Domineering Princess 24
Chapter 271 The Domineering Princess 24
Yun Ling came in with great vigour, but was sent away in disgrace.
Azhi ordered Jiangzhu to hide the gold in the lake in the Mingzhu Palace garden in case someone wanted to retaliate.
He also planned to use gold to make a golden toad, and he absolutely could not let his gold be stolen.
Ah Zhi really guessed it right. After Yun Ling left, he couldn't understand why he teamed up with Zhou Linxi to steal the gold back.
Zhou Linxi was somewhat dissatisfied with Yun Ling's plan.
"Your Highness, I think your method is too risky. What if this alarms His Majesty?"
If the investigation is really into me, wouldn't I be in big trouble?
Yun Ling was seen playing with the teacup in his hand with his eyes slightly narrowed, and there was a hint of ruthlessness in his voice.
"Today, Yun Yuyu has admitted that she stole the gold. My original intention was not only to steal the gold back, but also to find where Yun Yuyu hid the gold."
"Even if this matter alarms the emperor, as long as we find the gold, it will be fine. Do you want to be controlled by Yun Yuyu?"
Zhou Linxi certainly didn't want to be led by Ah Zhi, and he really wanted to find the gold.
This way, there is no need to please Ah Zhi, otherwise you will have to be servile and serve the princess as a concubine.
I passed the exam and became the top scholar based on my own ability, and everything I did was to bring honor to my family, not to embarrass myself.
Thinking of this, Zhou Linxi no longer opposed Yu Yunling's plan.
Ah Zhi had known about Yun Ling's actions for a long time, and really felt that Yun Ling was tired of being the crown prince.
She immediately arranged for people to assassinate Emperor Lingyue during the chaos, but there was no need to actually kill Emperor Lingyue.
As long as Emperor Lingyue was in danger, the whole palace was in chaos at night.
Yun Ling's original intention was to have people find gold, but he didn't expect that these people couldn't even find the shadow of gold.
The Emperor Lingyue's bedroom was also attacked by an assassin. Yun Ling's news was blocked by Azhi in advance, so he didn't know what happened in the palace.
As long as Emperor Lingyue determined that an assassin had entered the palace, Yun Ling would inevitably be regarded as the mastermind of the assassination.
Seeing that the entire palace was on high alert, Azhi even ordered people to directly capture the thief sent by Yun Ling.
These people actually wanted to use drugs, but Azhi didn't give them any chance at all. All the drugs were taken out and thrown on the ground.
When Azhi was about to go find Emperor Lingyue, Wei Yuanxi actually came to Mingzhu Palace from Ziyun Palace.
The tension on his face had not yet faded when he saw Ahzhi. He looked Ahzhi up and down, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there were no wounds.
Ah Zhi looked at Wei Yuanxi and raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Why are you here?"
Facing Ah Zhi's question, Wei Yuanxi blushed and could not say a word.
Xiao Xiazi beside him said, "Princess, you really don't know. When Prince Wei heard that the princess was in danger, he immediately brought his servants here."
Wei Yuanxi's face turned even redder and he stammered, unable to speak.
Ah Zhi bent down curiously, stared at Wei Yuanxi and asked, "Do you care about this princess?"
Looking at Azhi's beautiful eyes, Wei Yuanxi couldn't tell what he felt in his heart at this moment.
But he still closed his eyes and shook his head vigorously, and the next second he heard Azhi's lively laughter.
This made Wei Yuanxi's earlobes red as if they were about to bleed.
At this time, Ah Zhi stopped laughing and said to Wei Yuanxi, "Okay, this princess will be fine. These people want to hurt this princess, they are simply overestimating their own abilities. How can this princess be hurt so easily?"
Sometimes Wei Yuanxi felt that some of the things said in the palace were true. Compared to Yun Ling, the sickly prince, Azhi was more like the almighty prince.
Wei Yuanxi could not deny that he felt a bit of admiration for her. Although she was a woman, she was more dazzling than a man.
Just when Wei Yuanxi was daydreaming.
Ah Zhi instructed Xiao Xiazi, "You must take good care of Prince Wei and not let him be in any danger."
I was afraid that someone would take advantage of the chaos to attack Wei Yuanxi.
"Yes, I understand."
At this time, Ah Zhi said to Wei Yuanxi, "There is some news about your mother, and I have already asked my people to rescue her."
"I will have someone bring her to Lingyue Country in half a month, but there are some things you need to think about clearly. Your mother is searching for her in order to seize the throne from the Donghao royal family."
"She has destroyed her appearance with the hairpin. I have tried my best to get someone to treat her, but your mother has a strong temper..."
Needless to say, Wei Yuanxi also understood what was going to happen next.
Her biological mother Ouyang Yan was a smart person. She knew that if she wanted to survive, she had to give up her beauty, so Ouyang Yan would never hesitate.
This cannot be blamed on Azhi. It is already good enough that the other party is willing to help him rescue Ouyang Yan.
Wei Yuanxi held Ah Zhi's hand with gratitude in his eyes and said, "Thank you. If it weren't for you, my mother would not have been able to escape."
At this time, he gritted his teeth and said with a bit of shyness, "I will do what I promised you."
Azhi didn't take Wei Yuanxi's words to heart, and just thought that the other party was talking about cooperation.
She smiled helplessly and said, "It's okay, take Xiao Xiazi back to Ziyun Palace first. There are many things in this palace that I need to deal with slowly."
Wei Yuanxi nodded gently and said very obediently, "Okay, Princess, please be careful about everything."
Azhi nodded, turned around and ran towards Emperor Lingyue's bedroom with Jiangzhu.
Even the imperial guards were mobilized in the palace. Ah Zhi successfully met Emperor Lingyue, only to see a dead body lying on the ground in the palace.
She was slightly startled, thinking that one of her people had been discovered.
But he still calmed down and asked, "Father! Are you okay?"
Unexpectedly, Emperor Lingyue came to his senses and looked at Ah Zhi and said, "I'm fine, Yu'er, are you frightened? I didn't expect that not only would there be assassins in the palace, but even this crazy woman would take advantage of the chaos to come out and try to harm me."
Ah Zhi then saw clearly that the woman on the ground was actually the abandoned Yuan Meiren. There was bright blood under her body, and she must have been dead for a long time.
Watching the imperial guards come in and drag the body away, Ah Zhi stepped forward and said to Emperor Lingyue, "Father, I, Mingzhu Palace, have also caught the assassin, but..."
Upon hearing that an assassin had also entered Azhi's Mingzhu Palace, Emperor Lingyue hurriedly pulled Azhi aside to look him up and down.
I was relieved to see that Azhi was not injured.
"Are you scared? Do you know where this assassin came from? Why would an assassin come into the palace out of nowhere?"
The assassin arranged by Azhi only scared Emperor Lingyue in order to draw suspicion to Yun Ling.
But what Azhi didn't expect was that Concubine Yuan in the cold palace would actually run out. This was really beyond her expectations.
At this time, Emperor Lingyue noticed that Azhi looked a little absent-minded.
He looked at Ah Zhi with some doubt and asked, "You didn't finish what you said just now, but are you hiding something from me?"
