However, it was obvious that Princess Ming Yue had taken a liking to the prince. Baizhi wondered if her master would fly into a rage if she knew about this.
"What did you say? Where did you see Princess Ming Yue pestering the prince? "
Baiji was surprised. After all, in Dajin, not to mention the noble ladies. Even a girl from an ordinary family would have to keep a distance from a man in public.
"I saw it at the Crown Prince's place. Princess Ming Yue was so shameless! The prince ignored her, so she kept pestering the prince. Later, she pretended to faint. However, the prince did not care about her. Humph, I almost fell flat on my face! "
Baizhi was very satisfied with the prince's behavior.
It was true that Princess Ming Yue was very beautiful, but her master was even better than her.
Most importantly, His Highness did not care about the shameless princess at all.
Unlike his master, the Prince was afraid of getting hurt even the slightest bit.
"That's good. Oh yes, you can't tell the truth to Master. If Master finds out about this, Prince Yu's Mansion will not have a peaceful day. "
Baiji sighed and reminded Baizhi. Baizhi nodded her head vigorously.
She knew Lin Mengya's temper very well.
Although she acted as if nothing had happened, if someone dared to covet her things, that person would die a horrible death.
Just look at Second Miss and Miss Biao. But Princess Ming Yue was a princess after all.
If Lin Mengya did something to her, there would be a lot of trouble.
Soon, the Crown Prince sent someone to invite Lin Mengya.
After all, she was one of the parties involved.
"You're not slow. Baisu, stay here and look after the mansion. The three of you, come with me."
Lin Mengya was not afraid at all. To her, this was just a rehearsed farce.
At this moment, the Crown Prince and King Ming were in a deadlock. No matter how the Crown Prince tried to explain, King Ming would not listen.
He kept telling the Crown Prince to hand over the murderer who killed Hu Lunan.
With Long Tianhao and Hu Tianbei adding fuel to the fire, the Crown Prince was in a terrible situation.
"King Ming, I've already said that I'll give you an explanation. Don't tell me that Your Highness doesn't trust me, the Crown Prince?"
The Crown Prince's face darkened. If not for his mother's order to build a good relationship with King Ming, why would he, as the Crown Prince, put in so much effort?
"Your Highness, Nan is my son and the prince of the western vassal state. His death was a mystery, and now the Crown Prince has silenced the murderer. Could it be that the western vassal state has done something to make the Crown Prince unhappy, and that's why this disaster has befallen us? "
King Ming's words put the Crown Prince in a difficult position.
He really didn't know why Wisdom King, who had been working closely with him before, would turn against him at this moment.
Could it be that King Ming had found out that he had sent someone to silence Hu Lunan?
She looked at King Ming and Hu Tianbei suspiciously. They did not look like them at all!
"Princess Yu has arrived!"
The two groups of people who were in a stalemate turned their gazes to the figure who had just entered.
Lin Mengya was not dressed in palace attire today, but in a skin-tight lake blue hunting outfit.
Her hair was combed into a simple bun and she had no makeup on her face. She looked fresh and beautiful, as if she was going for a stroll in the woods.
"Greetings, Crown Prince and King Ming."
Lin Mengya bowed graciously and maintained a calm expression on her face, as if she was not aware of what was going on here.
"Are you dressed up for a stroll, Princess Yu?"
Princess Ming Yue pretended to be friendly and asked. All the women here were dressed in complicated palace attire, but Princess Ming Yue was the only one who attracted the attention of all the men.
What a scheming beauty. She was not to be underestimated.
"Yes, Prince Yu said that he had found the murderer who killed the Second Prince, so he wanted to take me out for a stroll."
She walked up to Long Tianhao and sat down beside him.
The couple was in perfect harmony.
"I'm afraid we'll have to postpone our stroll, Your Highness?"
Lin Mengya tilted her head and asked in a cute tone. Lin Mengya winked mischievously, indicating to Long Tianhao to cooperate with her.
Although they had been together for a long time, Long Tianyu still could not get used to this girl's habit of making sudden moves.
He nodded his head and held Lin Mengya's hand. Instantly, Princess Ming Yue's eyes were filled with jealousy and anger.
Just now, when she took the initiative to approach Long Tianhao, Long Tianhao rejected her.
Little did she expect that Long Tianhao would take the initiative because of Lin Mengya's pretense.
Even as an outsider, she could tell that Lin Mengya was putting on an act! Why was Long Tianhao so cooperative?
"Since everyone is here, can we talk about what happened to my son, Hu Lunan?"
King Ming spoke in a deep voice, as if he did not see Lin Mengya, who was showing off her affection to Long Tianhao.
The Crown Prince retracted his gaze unwillingly. Now, the most important thing was to find a way to solve this crisis.
"About what happened that night, I think Princess Yu has something to say, right?"
The Crown Prince shifted the blame to Lin Mengya the moment he spoke.
Lin Mengya had already expected this. She stood up and sighed faintly. She lowered her eyes and said slowly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
"Actually, I did look for the Second Prince because of what happened to Elder Sister Yue Ting. I quarreled with him, but I did not hurt him. It's true that I slapped him, but I don't think it's possible for me to slap the Second Prince. "
Hu Lunan was indeed in the wrong about what happened to Yue Ting.
Therefore, Lin Mengya's words were more convincing.
"What's more, the Second Prince knows martial arts, and he's tall and strong. I had to jump up to slap him to be able to hit him. Or do you think that I, a weak girl, am able to defeat the Second Prince? "
Lin Mengya smiled helplessly and told him the most important reason.
All along, she had Qinghu's mysterious help.
In fact, most people did not know that she had Qinghu by her side.
No matter how smart Lin Mengya was, she was just a weak and delicate woman.
From what had happened to Yue Ting, one could tell how vicious and cruel Hu Lunan was.
The crowd looked at Lin Mengya and shook their heads. It seemed unrealistic.
"You — perhaps, you have some helpers, who knows!"
The Crown Prince was embarrassed by Lin Mengya's rebuke.
His face was filled with anger and he pointed the spearhead at Long Tianhao.
"That's impossible. Long Tianhao and I were drinking that night and he did not leave for too long. Therefore, the person who hurt my second brother could not be him."
No one had expected that the key witness for Long Tianhao was Hu Tianbei.
After all, the person who died was his younger brother. As the elder brother, there was no need for him to give false testimony for his enemy.
Lin Mengya was also slightly surprised. What did Long Tianhao promise Hu Tianbei that he would give false testimony for Long Tianhao?
There must be something going on here!
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, you said that the murderer was not those lowly maidservants. If that's the case, hand over the real murderer."
King Ming's words were like the final judgment.
The veins on the Crown Prince's forehead were bulging. What was going on today? Why were King Ming and Hu Tianbei on Long Tianhao's side?
"Perhaps it was these three women who killed the Second Prince. However, as Princess Yu had said, the Second Prince was strong and agile. I don't think he would be defeated by these three women."
The Crown Prince wanted to make one last attempt, but Long Tianhao did not give him the chance.
"Actually, these three women were not ordinary singers. They were the killers of Peach Blossom Dock! "
Long Tianhao's words were like a sudden clap of thunder that exploded in the crowd.
Peach Blossom Dock was a fearsome killer organization in the martial arts world! How could they have anything to do with the death of the Second Prince?
"Nonsense, these three women were dancers who accompanied the army. How could they be the killers of Peach Blossom Dock?"
The Crown Prince was furious. He had selected these three women from the music house as a gift for Hu Lunan. How did they become the killers of Peach Blossom Dock?
"If you don't believe me, Crown Prince, why don't you bring the corpses here and we can examine them together?"
Lin Mengya had a faint smile on her face, as if everything was under her control.
"Alright, men, bring the corpses here."
The current situation had far exceeded the Crown Prince's expectations. Things seemed to be developing in an unpredictable direction.
Just when the imperial guards were about to bring the corpses, there was a sudden commotion outside the tent.
"Your Highness, for some reason, a lot of masked men in black suddenly rushed out of the woods. They are already fighting with the imperial guards who accompanied us!"
"What?"
The Crown Prince's exasperation turned into shock and his face froze.
How could this be? Didn't Lord Zhang say that he had already sent men to check this place thoroughly?
Why would there be masked men suddenly rushing out?
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, the masked men are highly skilled in martial arts. We have already sent men to ask for reinforcements. Please retreat immediately, in case of any accidents. "
The news from the imperial guards had thrown the Crown Prince into a panic.
"All the guards, cooperate with the imperial guards to fight. Protect the Crown Prince and retreat with the other officials! "
At this critical moment, Long Qinghan held a sword with a green edge and ordered with a frown.
All the guards, except for a few who stayed with the family members, followed Long Qinghan to defend against the enemies.
"Your Highness, please be careful."
At this moment, Long Tianhao also took out his sword and fought side by side with Long Qinghan.
Lin Mengya exhorted Long Tianhao worriedly. Her beautiful eyes were filled with worry.
"Don't worry, I will ask Baisu to stay by your side."
