I survived as a female assassin

Chapter 228 Don’t Let Emotions Drive You Away

Marquis Dingguo personally went out and quickly found his grandson, Xiahou Rui, who was in an inconspicuous clinic in the capital.

"Are you sure His Royal Highness Prince Ning has escaped here?"

"The Marquis's Mansion has an imperial physician, but he doesn't want to use him and comes to this small clinic to heal his wounds. I'm afraid this kid has been poisoned by some evil poison."

Marquis Dingguo stood in front of the clinic with a look of disgust, looking at it.

"The news is true, my lord, you will know it at a glance."

Marquis Dingguo was concerned about his grandson's injury and did not dare to delay at all. He led his men straight in.

Just seeing this scene in front of him almost made him vomit blood in anger.

"Yue'er, I told you that I was seriously injured and that I took this risk because I really wanted to see you."

"Why don't you believe it?"

"Look, look, I've never told you a lie."

As Xia Hou Rui spoke, he even opened his inner clothes and moved closer to Leng Yue.

Marquis Dingguo blushed and became furious.

"How shameful! How shameful!"

"Hurry up and put on your clothes!"

Xiahou Rui didn't expect that his grandfather could find him so quickly. He must have mobilized the entire mansion.

He was just trying to play the victim to Leng Yue and gain her sympathy.

This old man came at the wrong time!

He smacked his lips and slowly put on his clothes.

"Rui'er, you're already engaged. How can you be so reckless in broad daylight? How can you be worthy of Xiuzhu!"

His grandfather was really bringing up the issue. "I've told you so many times, I want to find someone I like. Don't talk to me about any engagement. I've never admitted it."

Leng Yue saw that his family had come to find her, so she didn't need to take care of him anymore.

So he turned around and walked out of the clinic.

Seeing this, Xiahou Rui didn't care that the wound that had just been bandaged was still aching, and chased after him.

"Yue'er, don't go!"

"Where are you going? Wait for me."

Marquis Dingguo disliked Leng Yue from the first moment he saw him. He was so arrogant and had no manners at all. When he saw him, he didn't even greet him or even glance at him.

"Come here, take His Royal Highness Prince Ning back to recover!"

"Yes, Lord Marquis!"

Xiahou Rui was chasing Leng Yue, but was stopped by Dingguo Hou's men.

"I think you've got the guts to do it. Get out of here!"

No matter how angry he was, he couldn't escape and was carried onto the carriage.

But he was seriously injured and had no power to break free...

I just watched Leng Yue disappear.

In the imperial study of the Daliang Palace.

After today's morning court session, Mu Yuan was kept by His Majesty Emperor Liang.

"Yuan'er, how is your investigation going regarding the assassination of the Crown Prince?"

"Replying to Father, there are some clues."

"Oh?"

"tell me the story."

This matter involves many people, and even when facing the emperor, he still has concerns in his heart.

Upon seeing this, Emperor Liang asked everyone to leave.

There were only the two of them, father and son, in the entire imperial study.

"Rui'er, just say whatever you want. Some people and some things have come to this point, and it's time to send them off."

Mu Yuan had always known that his father had been on the throne for nearly forty years, during which time the entire Daliang appeared to be peaceful and prosperous.

That's because he is very good at winning people's hearts and making good use of the doctrine of the mean.

Now that he said this, he must have already known in his heart who was trying to harm the prince.

Mu Yuan no longer hesitated, "After all, Marquis Dingguo is a veteran of two dynasties and has made great contributions to the Daliang Kingdom. I think..."

Emperor Liang interrupted him, "Some people, they should do what they should do at their age. They don't want to take the path of life, but choose to take the path of death."

"Rui'er, you are still too young. Emperors have always been ruthless."

Emperor Liang walked up behind Mu Yuan and patted him on the shoulder. "Don't let your emotions get the better of you and forget who you are."

Mu Yuan was stunned. What he said just now was just a test of the emperor's bottom line.

But there was clearly more to the emperor's last words.

Is he reminding himself of what happened with Blood Shadow?

Until she left the imperial study, Mu Yuan was still thinking about this matter. Would her father do anything to her?

It seems that we need to send more people to protect Xin Youran.

Father, I will not be like you, who would do anything to gain the throne and would sacrifice everything around him.

"what is she doing?"

By this time, you should have arrived at the private residence, right?

Today is the last day to draw blood for him to detoxify...

"Let's go to the Imperial Hospital first."

When Mu Yuan arrived at the Imperial Medical Bureau, Doctor Qin had been called to Yongning Palace by the Queen.

Queen?

Could it be that she is suffering from some disease?

I can take this opportunity to go to Yongning Palace and find out the truth.

Imperial Physician Qin ran into Mu Yuan as soon as he came out of Yongning Palace.

"Why is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here?"

He was so excited that his voice became louder. After he finished speaking, he realized that this was the territory of Yongning Palace and there were spies everywhere.

"I went to the Imperial Hospital to look for you in an emergency, and was told you were here. Thinking that my mother was ill, and that I, as a son, didn't know about it, I hurried to visit her."

Mu Yuan answered in a clear and articulate voice, hoping that his spy would report it immediately.

When the Queen heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was coming to visit, she began to feel uneasy. Could it be that he had found out something?

The nanny beside her quickly comforted her, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. The Marquis of Dingguo is fine. No matter how hard you try, it can't be blamed on us."

"My lady, please don't lose your composure."

The queen nodded, still worried.

Her Bai'er had a big fight with her before, saying that if she knew that she wanted to kill his second brother, she would not recognize him as her mother.

Bai Er has always been impulsive, and he really did it...

"Let the prince come in."

The old nanny quickly invited Mu Yuan into the hall.

"My son, I pay my respects to my mother."

"Prince, please excuse yourself and take a seat."

"I heard that my mother was ill. I happened to meet Dr. Qin after visiting my father."

Doctor Qin: I am already an old man, and I still have to be blamed by others.

"It's nothing serious, just a cold. It will be fine after a few days of recuperation."

"Thank you for your concern, Prince."

Imperial Physician Qin's original words were that the Empress was showing signs of contracting a cold and must not be taken lightly!

Careful observation should be made, and if any symptoms occur, the old slave should be summoned promptly.

She's afraid she won't live long...

What else can she fight for?

It doesn’t matter whether she lives or dies, but her Yu’er acts so impulsively and innocently. What should he do if she dies in the future?

Since ancient times, the victors are kings and the losers are bandits. The royal family is often ruthless. Are there not many people who killed their brothers and fathers for the throne?

"That's good. I just went to the Imperial Study to discuss matters with Father. During the conversation, Father mentioned you. I hope you take care of yourself. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

Mu Yuan stopped there and was about to leave when he was stopped by the Queen as expected.

"A Yuan, do you know why your mother died?"
