By the time Ji Wanrong was turned back to Chuyun Garden, it was already dark.
There was a "bang——" in my ears, and the door of Chuyun Garden was immediately closed.
Ji Wanrong pressed his stiff arm, turned his head, and saw an empty yard.
The yard was extremely quiet, there seemed to be no one around, but she didn't even know what was happening.
This unpleasant feeling made Ji Wanrong's heart sink.
When she reached her house, she saw a pitiful figure.
The person folded her hands on her knees and squatted at the door, curling up into a ball. She buried her head deeply in her chest and seemed to be sobbing.
When she heard footsteps, she raised her head.
Only then did Ji Wanrong see Jian Qing's panicked expression.
She hurried forward and helped Jian Qing into the house: "Jian Qing, why are you squatting here? Where are the others? What happened today?"
Jian Qing saw Ji Wanrong's face, and after holding back his emotions for a long time, he burst into tears in an instant.
"Master, many people in the courtyard were captured by the prince and tortured!"
"Where's Siqin? Where's that boy Shouhou? They were also arrested?" Ji Wanrong frowned.
"Siqin...Siqin got your instructions today and went out to report to the official, but she hasn't come back yet."
"And that little guy, Shouhou, is the mastermind behind the prince's assassination!"
Ji Wanrong listened and his eyes widened for a moment.
Through Jian Qing's intermittent narration, Ji Wanrong understood what exactly happened today.
Last night, an assassin infiltrated into Prince Han's Mansion. At this moment, his martial arts skills were superb and his attack was fierce, causing five casualties among the hidden guards of Prince Han's Mansion.
They were familiar with the trends in the army, used the strategy of diverting the tiger away from the mountain, and were familiar with Mo Jie Cheng's swordsmanship and moves. Not only were they the same assassins that Mo Jie Cheng met on the carriage half a month ago.
He could even escape the search and pursuit of Mojie City for half a month.
Therefore, Mo Jiecheng suspected that there was an enemy spy around him.
Until he was in the violent room and tortured the captured assassin leader, although nothing was found out from his mouth.
Only to find that he was wearing a human skin mask!
The face under the human skin mask was actually the boy in Ji Wanrong's yard who chose to stay, Shouhou.
When Ji Wanrong heard this, he finally understood why Mo Jiecheng was so angry.
Shouhou was lurking in Prince Han's Mansion, perhaps just to assassinate Mo Jiecheng, but when he came to her yard, it was a complete accident.
But she was unlucky enough to treat Dong Bicheng and had a channel to learn about the military's movements; she was also unlucky to have used a human skin mask on her wedding night, just like the assassin; she was also unlucky to predict that Mo Jie would encounter a bloody disaster when he went out.
All these coincidences made Mo Jiecheng have to suspect that she was the enemy spy beside him.
And what’s even more unfortunate is——
One second, they were arguing about Ji Yunyao, but the next second, Mo Jiecheng asked her who gave her this human skin mask, and she blurted out that it was Ji Yunyao.
Naturally, Mo Jiecheng wouldn't believe it.
Involving news within the army, it was the eldest son of Beili Kingdom who was assassinated. It was not just Mojie City's own matter.
This matter is related to the military and political affairs of Beili State, and the emperor will probably personally investigate it. If Ji Wanrong cannot clear himself from suspicion, this will really be a capital crime.
Thinking of this, Ji Wanrong's throat felt clogged.
She silently went to the square table and picked up tea. She drank half of the tea pot and calmed down her anger.
Seeing Qing Tingtiao watching Ji Wanrong drink half a bottle of cold water, he was eager to hear her next plan.
Unexpectedly, after Ji Wanrong drank the tea, he took off his shoes, climbed onto the soft couch, and collapsed directly on the soft couch.
Jian Qing was worried: "Miss, what's wrong with you?"
Ji Wanrong rubbed his stomach and gritted his teeth: "The cold water just now was a bit clogging my teeth."
Jian Qing didn't expect that his young lady would still be in the mood to joke at this time.
She waited and waited, but she couldn't restrain the urgency in her heart: "Miss, His Majesty will personally intervene in this matter, so what should we do now?"
Ji Wanrong closed his eyes, his brain was thinking, and his tone was a little slow: "What I have to do now is to make Mo Jiecheng believe what I said."
"Then we have to collect evidence! Let's go to Shouhou's house now!" Jian Qing clenched the handkerchief in his hand, his face full of anxiety.
"What we can collect can naturally be found in Mojie City. What's more, Shouhou lives in my yard. It is very easy to prove that he is related to me; if we need to produce evidence to prove that I am related to him It doesn’t matter, it’s impossible.”
Ji Wanrong lowered his eyes and thought. He didn't know what he thought of, and sat up cross-legged.
When Jian Qing heard this, she understood the meaning of Ji Wanrong's words. She scratched her head and scratched her head anxiously, feeling angrily in her heart: "You saved his life! Is he a man after all? Why don't you believe what you said! "
"Mojiecheng treated me leniently because I saved his life. So he hid the truth from the emperor, withstood the pressure of the military camp, and protected me for one night. He just wanted me to tell the truth that he didn't believe at all. So, I can still stay in Chuyun Garden and talk to you, and you were not taken away and tortured like the others."
"Otherwise, I would have been handed over to the government, imprisoned in a prison, and tortured."
After Ji Wanrong figured this out, his tone was very calm, and there wasn't even a trace of turmoil in his heart.
"Besides, it's not that he doesn't believe in me, he believes in Ji Yunyao even more. Jian Qing, do you know the power of the two identities of the savior and Bai Yueguang who do not ask for anything in return? She is in the eyes of everyone in Mojie City and the capital. Here, the image is always perfect.”
"Even if I tell the truth to the government and the emperor, no one can believe it, so any evidence is useless."
Jian Qing listened ignorantly, and then his eyes lit up: "Then we are not trying to find a way to make the prince believe in you, but we should find a way to make the prince, his majesty, and even the world not believe in Ji Yunyao?"
Ji Wanrong glanced at Qianqing in surprise and felt that she was very teachable.
"You are right, but it is impossible for Mo Jiecheng and everyone to see Ji Yunyao's true face overnight. So, do you know where the axes and chisels are in our yard?"
Jian Qing was shocked: "Miss, are you going to kill Ji Yunyao? Or are you going to kill the prince?"
But after thinking about it, she felt that Ji Wanrong's determination to fight against the odds was so courageous that it even made her whole body shine.
Seeing Qing's eyes instantly lit up: "Okay! I'll be a blood-spattered slave with you! Eighteen years later, you'll be a good man again!"
