Chapter 63 For You, I Don't Mind Being the Third Party
Solved the avalanche.
Yueying wiped the dagger and put it away.
Qingluan walked behind her, hugged her gently, put her head on her neck and whispered: "It was my fault just now. The young master warned me."
His embrace brought Yueying back to her senses and turned her back into the lively and talkative girl she once was.
Yueying tilted her head slightly and glared at him.
Qingluan hugged her tightly and coaxed her, "I saw Lao Wu and you being so close during the day. I admit that I was jealous, so I couldn't control myself just now. Please don't be angry, okay?"
As he said this, he took the opportunity to kiss her on the face.
Yueying pushed him away and said angrily, "You are so annoying! A peak Douluo who only knows how to bully me~"
Qingluan enjoyed it particularly when seeing the girl's coquettish look!
He folded his arms, leaned against the tree trunk, and looked at her with a low smile.
Yueying ignored his gaze. She looked at the avalanche on the ground and said, "I will help Xiaoxue get rid of the avalanche sooner or later. It's fine like this now!"
Qing Luan asked, "What if Emperor Xue Ye finds out about you?"
Spreading his hands, Yueying said, "Just find out what you can find out. Anyway, Xuebeng and I have a grudge against each other."
"And the motive of killing the Fourth Prince for cheating is quite sufficient. Then no one will think that I am helping Crown Prince Xue Qinghe to fight for power."
"It can also prevent your identity from being exposed, how great!"
Qingluan smiled and said, "Since you have made up your mind, I don't mind being the third party for you."
The girl glanced at him and snorted twice.
After thinking for a while, she said, "I will go to the palace to look for Xiaoxue later. You go back first. Don't worry about the rest. I will take care of it."
"But……"
Qingluan wanted to say something, but Yueying interrupted her, "It would be bad if you interfered. It would easily expose your identity."
After thinking about it, Qingluan finally decided to listen to her.
Just when the two were about to separate, Qingluan pressed her against the tree trunk again and rubbed her against it for a long time. Yueying resisted, wanting to refuse but also to welcome.
Only when the girl became a little angry did Qingluan reluctantly let her into the palace.
……
The night is deep.
In the Tiandou Palace, inside Prince Xuexing’s bedroom.
The captain of the guards at Xue Beng's palace came to report: "Your Highness, something bad has happened. Several people who followed the Fourth Prince came to inform us that His Highness is missing."
"what!!!"
Prince Xuexing stood up suddenly: "What did those people say?"
The captain of the guards replied, "They said that when His Highness and I were returning to the academy from outside, just as we passed the only way to the back mountain, His Highness saw a man and asked them to go back first, and he walked towards the woods in the back mountain, but His Highness has not returned until now!"
"Man?" Prince Xuexing asked, "Did they see who the man was?"
The captain of the guards shook his head: "They said it was too dark to see clearly, but the Fourth Prince secretly followed that man."
Prince Xue Xing scolded anxiously: "Why don't you quickly get everyone to go to the back of the academy to look for him? What are you doing standing here?!"
"Yes."
The captain of the guard took the order and left.
Prince Xuexing's hands began to tremble unconsciously, and he vaguely felt that an avalanche might have happened!
In the prince's bedroom on the other side.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Yueying did not enter the palace in a carriage with fanfare, but sneaked in secretly at night.
In Xue Qinghe's room.
Yueying briefly mentioned the intimate private affairs between herself and Qingluan, and told Qian Renxue everything else that happened in the woods.
After she finished speaking, she instructed, "Xiaoxue, from now on, you should pretend that you know nothing! When Emperor Xue Ye sends people to investigate, they will only find me."
Qian Renxue nodded silently, then looked at Yueying with an unclear look in her eyes: "Is this also part of your plan?"
Yueying shook her head: "No."
Qian Renxue stared into her eyes and asked again: "So, you and the Third Lord are really together? Do you love him?"
"I...I don't know."
Yueying lowered her head and remembered the way Qingluan begged her not to leave in the woods.
His sad eyes and pleading tone at that time made her unable to forget it for a long time!
Can she...love?
At this moment, under Qian Renxue's gaze, she didn't know what to say!
Putting away her inner emotions, she turned and walked away from the window into the night.
……
Tiandou Royal Academy, in the woods behind the mountain.
Prince Xuexing led his guards to search the entire back mountain overnight. His large-scale operation naturally alarmed the three major teaching committees of the academy.
Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan and Zhilin hurried over after learning the situation and waited together for the guards' search results.
Half an hour later.
Since Yueying did not intend to cover up after killing Xuebeng, the guards quickly found their Fourth Prince lying in a pool of blood.
The captain of the guards stepped forward to check his breath, and with a trembling finger, he said to Prince Xuexing: "Your Excellency, the Fourth Prince is... already dying!"
The three education committee members were all horrified!
The three of them looked at each other. For some reason, they felt that this matter was related to that girl Yueying.
Prince Xuexing put his hands behind his back. After hearing the report from the captain of the guards, he clenched his fists tightly, closed his eyes and said, "Bring back the body of the fourth prince. I want to see Emperor Xueye immediately."
"Yes."
The captain of the guard took the order and left.
Before entering the carriage, Prince Xuexing looked at Meng Shenji and said, "Chief, please come with me to the palace to see His Majesty. After all, someone died in the academy, and you also have a certain responsibility to supervise!"
Meng Shenji nodded.
He turned to Bai Baoshan and Zhilin and said, "You stay at the academy and block the news. Fortunately, it is late at night and the students in the academy have not been alarmed."
Bai Baoshan and Zhilin nodded in understanding.
After giving the instructions, Meng Shenji quickly got on the carriage and followed Prince Xuexing into the palace.
……
Tiandou Palace, in Emperor Xueye's chamber.
Prince Xuexing and Meng Shenji went to Emperor Xue Ye's bedroom overnight to report the matter.
Emperor Xue Ye was completely shocked when he learned the news of the death of his fourth son!
I was shocked and heartbroken at the same time, after all, he was my son.
But the feeling of heartache was not that great. If the person who died was the prince, he would care more!
Then, he said to the commander of the Imperial Guards who was already waiting for instructions, "Track down on the murderer overnight, and notify the leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi, to come to the palace now."
"Yes."
The commander of the Royal Guards took the order and left.
Meng Shenji immediately knelt on one knee and pleaded guilty: "Your Majesty, I failed to supervise properly, which led to the death of the prince in the academy. I am guilty, please punish me, Your Majesty!"
Sighing, Emperor Xue Ye sat on the throne and said, "Chief Meng Shen Ji, please stand up. Although the incident happened in the academy, it is not something you can control, so you cannot be blamed entirely. Let's wait until the murderer is found!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Meng Shenji stood up and sat at the lower seat waiting for the results of the investigation. He knew that tonight was destined to be a sleepless night!
Two hours later.
Because Yueying did not try to cover up the fact that she killed Xuebeng, the commander of the Royal Guards quickly traced the crime to her.
The commander of the Imperial Guard reported to Emperor Xue Ye: "Your Majesty, we have found the murderer of the Fourth Prince."
"Who?"
Emperor Xue Ye supported his head with one hand, closed his eyes and frowned, looking like he was in a bad mood.
I don’t know if it was because he was woken up in the middle of the night and didn’t get enough sleep, or because his fourth son was killed that made him in a bad mood. It is unknown!
The commander of the Royal Guards suddenly fell silent.
Prince Xuexing at the side asked anxiously: "Who killed the fourth prince? Tell me!"
"We found out that the Fourth Prince's death is related to..." The commander of the Imperial Guard swallowed his saliva: "It is related to the Crown Princess!"
