"That’s impossible!"
Zhe Yu’s eyes were filled with disbelief, "You’re slandering her! She’s so innocent, how could she possibly be that kind of person?!"
Fu Zhen replied coldly, "Do you think I would use sothing that everyone knows, sothing you can verify just by asking anyone, as a lie?"
Zhe Yu’s head, which he had tried to lift with effort, fell back onto the pillow with a thud. He stared at her wide-eyed for a while and still said, "That’s impossible. They must have made a mistake! ... Where is she now?!"
"Confined at the Xu family." Fu Zhen crossed her arms and continued, "Both the Imperial Censorate and the Court of Judicial Review have conducted investigations. Even Prince Rong personally accused her of the cri, and indeed, the Heir of Princess Rong confird her collusion with the ladies of the Eastern Palace and submitted solid evidence to the emperor.
"In his fury, the emperor stripped her of her title entirely. She is now a commoner.
"Now everyone under the heavens knows that the only noble of Great Zhou was actually a fem fatale, outwardly graceful and noble but inwardly cruel and vicious..."
"You wicked woman!" Zhe Yu gritted his teeth again, struggling to prop himself up, "She is not that kind of person!"
"Unfortunately, she is!" Fu Zhen said, "Not only does she disregard the lives of others, but she also doesn’t care about you. Earlier, Princess Rong had an Imperial Physician treat you, but Xu Yin didn’t want you alive. He deliberately acted jealous in front of Yongping, and without a word, Yongping dismissed the Imperial Physician.
"If it weren’t for Princess Rong still needing you and calling back the Imperial Physician, you would have t King Yama by now!"
Zhe Yu glared at her, grabbing a pillow and throwing it at her!
"Get out!"
Taking advantage of his uncontrollable agitation, Fu Zhen quickly stuffed two pills into his throat!
"I’m not here to argue with you!" Fu Zhen swiftly pinched his jaw, pouring half a glass of water down his throat, "The assassin has been caught by . Do you think the real culprit is far from being exposed?"
...
Xu Yin strode into the study, glaring at the guard kneeling alone on the ground, and angrily rebuked:
"Since when did the Zhe Family hire a Hidden Guard? How could I not know! How could you not know!"
Lian Rong, sweating at the brow, lowered his head deeply: "This change was truly unexpected. I’ve had people watching the Zhe Family for so long and never knew when they had hidden a Hidden Guard! I absolutely couldn’t have anticipated that the Princess had such a tactic in secret..."
Xu Yin grabbed the guard’s lapel: "You should have seen all the guards around the Prince and Princess, whose people are those lying in ambush?!"
The guard looked up: "Please forgive , sir, but the subordinates indeed know all the masters’ guards in the Prince Manor. However, I’ve never seen the person who made the move!"
"How could you not have seen? With such skills, if not personally accompanying guards, how could they have the ability to defeat you all?!"
There was a chill in Xu Yin’s voice, and he clenched even harder.
"I swear, the person who acted had extraordinary skills, even better than the guards in the Prince Manor, but I truly don’t recognize him!"
The guard was nearly lifted off the ground, yet his words remained resolute.
Xu Yin stared at him intently, then released his grip and stood up.
"Could it not be soone from the Prince Manor?"
Lian Rong hurriedly said, "If it’s not soone from the Prince Manor, that would be a blessing. With Jiang Shang in their hands, he’ll certainly undergo a severe interrogation. By then, how Zhe Yu was injured won’t be hidden. That fan hasn’t been acquired yet. If the Princess knows that we were the ones responsible for Zhe Yu’s injury, she certainly won’t follow the madam’s arrangents!"
To eliminate potential complications, it was necessary to kill Zhe Yu at this ti. If the reason for Zhe Yu’s injury was exposed, it would surely affect their plans against Prince Rong’s Mansion.
For this reason precisely, one of the two guards sent out was detained, equating to a colossal loophole!
The fact that the Zhe Family secretly harbored a master was completely unexpected!
And that this master wasn’t very likely from Prince Rong’s Mansion made it even more surprising!
"If it’s not soone from the Prince Manor, then whose person could it be?"
There was no sign of ease on Xu Yin’s face. Was everything fine just because the ambusher wasn’t soone from the Prince Manor? If the secret of Zhe Yu’s assassination wasn’t exposed to Prince Rong’s Mansion, did he have no concerns?
If it were soone from the Prince Manor, at least he would know who the opponent was and how to rediate the situation. Now he didn’t even know who they were or how to make ands!
The mastermind behind Zhe Yu’s attempted murder was indeed Xu Yin himself. If exposed to outsiders, wouldn’t it be equivalent to being exposed to Princess Rong?
