Forehead!
Behind the carriage, Lin Yi, riding his horse, was initially pondering how to deal with Princess Shenle when he suddenly saw the eunuchs swarming around like dumplings being poured out of a pot, leaving him dumbfounded.
What's going on?
Without hesitation, Gongsun Zan rode forward to investigate, finally frowning as he said, "My lord, they all died from poisoning!"
"No need to investigate, the eldest princess ordered her maid to do it."
Just as Lin Yi was about to send someone to check the carriage, Wang Yue rode over and whispered.
He had been riding around the carriage, and he had overheard Princess Shenle and her maid's conversation, so he knew the inside story and was deeply shocked.
Princess Shenle is so decisive; she took direct action!
"Made by Princess Shenle?"
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned. What was wrong with Princess Shenle? She actually poisoned her own people.
Wang Yue didn't dare to hide anything and told Lin Yi what Princess Shenle had just said. This made everyone gasp, and they felt even more respect for the princess.
Putting everything else aside, the idea that a woman follows her husband after marriage is absolutely right.
Even Xun Yu couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and chuckle dryly, " Princess Shenle is indeed extraordinary. She saw the key point at a glance, and she's decisive in her actions. She's the kind of person who should be an empress."
"Uh, I'm still trembling. As expected of the most talented woman in Great Ning, she has excellent judgment, recognizing our lord at a glance." He Jin swallowed hard and whispered.
He's got sharp eyes, but he's ruthless too; you can't mess with him.
Lin Yi smiled and nodded, muttering, "This woman is quite clear-headed, but it's still a long way from me completely trusting her."
Lin Yi didn't really feel any resentment towards her for killing so many people. Just as she herself said, she was merely Li Anlan's tool, and she was simply unwilling to accept this fate.
However, such a woman is also terrifying; unless you have a body that is immune to all poisons, you wouldn't dare to sleep with her!
He slowly walked to the carriage and had the curtain lifted.
He spotted the Xiao He bleeding from all seven orifices at a glance, and couldn't help but twitch his lips. This woman had indeed gone all out.
He not only laughed but also said, "Princess, is it worth it?"
Why!
Princess Shenle sighed, lifted her veil, and said sadly, "There's no question of whether it's worth it or not. Between Father and you, I chose you, so naturally I have to think of you. There were Father's spies among them, and I personally eliminated them for you. Will you still protect me after this?"
She knew in her heart that if she took action herself, Lin Yi would be wary, since she could poison these people, and there was also the possibility that she could poison him.
But she had no other choice!
"Of course, you're my woman!"
Lin Yi smiled nonchalantly, completely ignoring the woman's pitiful act; women are the best actors.
However, he acknowledged that the woman in front of him was intelligent and, moreover, his woman, at least nominally.
He then looked at Wang Yue and said in a deep voice, "After we get back, have Haitang personally bathe and change the princess, making sure to wash away the smell of blood, and also any other traces; we can't leave any on her."
Why would a perfectly good woman choose to get involved in drugs?
Wang Yue instantly understood: they were going to search the princess for the poison.
However, this is the lord's woman, so let the female members of the household search her. We dare not touch her; that could lead to someone's death.
"Pfft!"
Princess Shenle couldn't help but laugh out loud, and said softly, "Your Highness, don't worry, I've thrown away all the poison. No matter how ruthless I am, I would never poison my own husband. Wouldn't that make me a viper?"
Hmph, I thought they were so tough, but they still had to let the maids take the poison away.
"Ha ha!"
Lin Yi chuckled and instructed Wang Yue, "Have someone send a carriage from the palace. This carriage has been used by dead people; how can the princess ride in it? Find another one."
The bodies were then removed; leaving them there was no good, as it would have a negative impact.
"Yes!"
Wang Yue nodded and quickly sent someone to find a carriage.
Soon, the Prince's Palace sent a carriage to transfer Princess Shenle to another carriage, and she returned to the Prince's Palace.
In the restaurant on the side, Wei Tong, his face bruised and swollen, watched this scene and flew into a rage.
"That Lin Yi! Killing Ran Zijin is one thing, but he even attacked the princess! Luckily, the princess is alright!" Wei Tong said angrily.
His confidant added in a hoarse voice, "They even sent men to beat us up and humiliate us. It's simply outrageous!"
They had been beaten up by a group of mysterious people, their faces all turned into pig heads. It was clearly the work of the Net (Net of Heaven), it was truly outrageous.
"Hmph, I'll make Lin Yi pay the price sooner or later!" A fierce glint flashed in Wei Tong's eyes; he had to find a way back.
We will definitely find a way to send assassins to kill Lin Yi's subordinate Wang Yue. That guy is too much of a bully. And that Wang Zitao, that good-for-nothing dared to humiliate the Great Ning Guard. He's practically asking for death.
But the crucial question is, given the current situation, what should Her Highness do?
Lin Yi has gone so far as to lay a hand on the princess's personal maid; surely Her Highness won't Ran Zijin's footsteps?
He gritted his teeth and said, " Lin Yi is too ruthless. He actually dared to lay a hand on the princess. We must contact the emperor and get support from him, otherwise the princess will also perish here."
"Why don't I help you?"
Just then, a cold voice came from behind him, making Wei Tong's face stiffen. How had someone sneaked in again?
He turned his head and his face immediately darkened. He gritted his teeth and said, " Great General of the Imperial Guard Chen Dao of the Imperial Guards, what do you mean by this? We're just here in Xiliang to do business. You're hitting and threatening us. Do you think Da Great Ning has no one to rely on?"
That's so unfair! They even sent someone else to mess with me, huh?
"Snort!"
Chen Dao glanced at him and sneered, "I wasn't planning to deal with you before, but since your men have broken through the lord's Net, I can't let you go. I'll use you as bargaining chips."
"Cheers?"
Wei Tong's expression changed. If they really used this as a bargaining chip, the Great Ning Guard would lose face big time, and the Emperor might even blame them.
"Hmph, you'd better pray that the people from Net are still alive, otherwise you won't be able to live either!" Chen Dao sneered.
The intelligence network of Net is of paramount importance in Xiliang. Since Great Ning has already targeted the intelligence system, Xiliang no longer needs to give Great Ning any face and should just go for it.
Who's afraid of who?
Forehead!
Wei Tong's face turned extremely grim. He finally understood why Lin Yi had targeted the princess's people; the Emperor was now directly targeting Lin Yi's men.
This is a huge problem; dozens of our brothers will probably be lost here.
