Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore
Chapter 558 Who Says This King Loves Her?
The assassins kept threatening Chen Wangbei with words, trying to scare him away.
Everyone in Zhengwang's mansion was scared to death by Chen Wangbei's bold actions.
They were afraid that their eldest son would be killed by an assassin, and wanted to stop Chen Wangbei, but they were stopped by the guards of the Prince Regent's Palace.
Seeing that Chen Wangbei was getting closer and closer, and any intimidation and coercion had no effect on him, the two assassins couldn't help panicking.
This is completely different from what they expected!
Li Qi secretly gritted his teeth.
He knew that the bitter trick might not work.
Now it's just a matter of giving it a go!
Li Qi suddenly grabbed the arm of the assassin behind him, lowered his head and bit it hard.
The assassin was bitten painfully, and subconsciously wanted to get rid of Li Qi.
Li Qi fell to the ground, and then rushed to Chen Wangbei while rolling and crawling.
He hugged Chen Wangbei's leg, crying loudly like a dying person grabbing a life-saving straw.
"Help! Help me!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, the two assassins turned around and wanted to run, but they were pushed to the ground by the guards who rushed up.
Seeing that the crisis was over, the servants of the Zhengwang Mansion hurried forward and helped Li Qi up with all their might.
Li Qi seemed to be stupefied by fright, crying with snot and tears.
He held Chen Wangbei's hand tightly and said with a sob.
"Chen Shiwei, thank you so much, if it weren't for you, I would be here today!"
Chen Wangbei looked at him with a half-smile: "Don't thank me in a hurry, I still need your cooperation."
Li Qi's heart skipped a beat, he had a bad premonition, but he pretended to be touched on his face.
"You are my savior, just say what you want, and I will definitely cooperate!"
Chen Wangbei shook the token of the Prince Regent's Mansion in his hand: "I was ordered by His Royal Highness the Regent to track down a group of assassins, and two of the assassins escaped into the Prince Regent's Mansion. We now suspect that the Prince Regent's Mansion is colluding with the assassins."
Li Qi opened his eyes wide in disbelief as if he had been hit hard.
"How is this possible? I was held hostage by an assassin just now and almost lost my life. How could I collude with an assassin?!"
However, no matter how he defended, it was of no avail.
The regent's order is almost equivalent to the imperial decree.
He said that if you want to thoroughly investigate the Zhengwang Mansion, you must thoroughly investigate the Zhengwang Mansion.
All the servants and guards in Zhengwang's mansion were put under centralized surveillance, and even Li Qi, the son of Zhengwang, was temporarily placed under house arrest.
As for the two assassins, they were sent to the prison of the Criminal Ministry.
What awaits them is torture that would be worse than death.
This night, many people are destined to be unable to sleep.
At dawn the next day, Li Ji was already fully dressed.
Although he was forced to sleep in the study last night, as long as he thought of Man Man wearing his clothes and sleeping on his usual bed, he would feel a sense of security in his heart.
Even the unhappiness that happened last night was forgotten by him.
Jin Shu stood at the door and reported that Chen Shiwei had returned and wanted to see the prince.
Li Ji: "Let him in."
Chen Wangbei had been busy all night last night, as soon as he got back to the palace, he came to see the prince, he didn't even have time to change his clothes, he looked dusty.
But he was already used to this state, and he didn't feel so tired.
"My lord, this subordinate has followed your instructions and followed the gang of assassins to find the Zhengwang's mansion."
Then he explained what happened in Zhengwang's mansion from beginning to end.
After putting the son of the Zhengwang Mansion under house arrest, Chen Wangbei ordered people to search the entire Zhengwang Mansion, every corner was spared, even the soil in the garden was turned over, and the ground was really dug three feet. .
The results really let them find some clues.
Chen Wangbei presented a strange whistle with both hands.
"This subordinate searched it from the bedroom of Zhengwang Shizi. This subordinate has already tried it. As long as this whistle is blown, carrier pigeons will fly over."
Li Ji reached out to take the whistle and asked, "Have you found out the origin of the pigeon?"
Chen Wangbei reported the truth.
"The subordinate followed the direction of the carrier pigeon and traced it to Jucai Gambling House.
There is a wooden house in the backyard of the gambling house specially used to raise pigeons, and the carrier pigeons fly out from there.
But the subordinates were a step too late, the pigeon breeder had already left, and even the owner of the gambling shop had disappeared.
The rest of the miscellaneous guys and stewards didn't know what to ask. "
Even if the clue is broken here.
Li Ji looked down at the whistle in his hand.
The surface of the whistle made of brass is polished very smooth, and a lifelike eagle is cast on it, with its wings spread out, as if it could fly at any time.
He said slowly: "Although the person ran away, the official record of the gambling house should still be there. Go check and see whose name the gambling house has recorded?"
"Here."
Li Ji tucked the whistle into his sleeve casually: "Remember to send someone to keep an eye on Li Qi, don't let him die."
"The subordinate will order someone to keep him under strict supervision."
After finishing his business, Li Ji left the study and went to the bedroom.
At this moment, Hua Manman just woke up and was about to change and wash.
But because of her status, it is inconvenient for her to be served closely.
But she still has injuries on her body, and her hands and feet are inconvenient to move.
Just when she was in a dilemma, the regent appeared in due course.
"The king will help you."
Hua Manman remembered that the other party already had a family, so she should keep a distance from the other party.
So she shook her head: "Forget it, I'll do it myself."
Li Ji didn't like the feeling of being rejected by her very much.
He said in a deep voice: "If you open the wound, you will be the one who suffers later."
Hua Manman whispered: "I will be careful and try not to hurt the wound."
Li Ji frowned more and more.
"You hate me so much? You don't even want to be touched by me?"
Hua Manman defended, "I didn't."
She was just afraid that she would fall into it.
It would be fine if they were unmarried men and women, but the regent already had a family.
She can't do anything like being a mistress in the name of love.
Seeing that his face was very ugly, Hua Manman hurriedly reminded him.
"You already have a princess. I heard that you love your princess very much. You shouldn't do anything to betray the princess, right?"
Li Ji laughed angrily at her words.
He deliberately said in a very bad tone.
"Who said that the king loves her? That's all nonsense from outsiders!
The king annoys her to death.
She's just an elm-headed, stupid as hell, she doesn't have anything left over from what she eats, and she doesn't know what to do.
He knows how to make this king angry all day long! "
Hua Manman was dumbfounded.
she asked dubiously.
"The princess can't be so useless, can she?
There are so many women in the world, they either have a good personality, or a good appearance, or a good temper...
How can find one or two advantages.
I believe your princess should be like this too, right? "
Li Ji sneered heavily: "Well, she has a good appetite!"
Hua Manman: "..."
