Huo Changhe pursed his lips for a moment and continued.

"He just wanted to see Miss Jiang anxious but unable to get pregnant, suffering, and being talked about by others. He comforted her, but in fact he was putting pressure on Miss Jiang to make her think that she was a sinner."

Jiang Ruhuan's body swayed and she barely stood still - if Yan Ruyu had not discovered the matter in time and told her, she would still be kept in the dark.

And her psychological process was indeed as Huo Changhe said.

"Why, why is this?"

Shen Wenqi sneered: "I told you, because your last name is Jiang, I want to see the faces of you aristocratic families."

Huo Changhe scolded: "How dare you criticize others? You are just venting your anger."

"You and a girl grew up together, but she and her family changed their minds, abandoned you, and married a member of a branch of the Jiang family. You left in anger and sadness, and returned a few years later, only to find that the couple had gone to make a living elsewhere."

"But you came here for revenge, how can you let it go? Then turn your attention to the other members of the Jiang family."

Jiang Ruhuan couldn't believe it. She should have had a better life and a happy marriage, but it was ruined by this guy's selfishness.

Shen Wenqi smiled indifferently: "Your Majesty really put a lot of thought into this humble official. Yes, you are right."

Seeing his indifferent look, Huo Changhe couldn't help but kick him: "Shameless!"

Yan Ruyu said to Linlang, "Take off his cloak."

Linlang took off his cloak, and Yan Ruyu also took the mask in Yinding's hand.

"The cloak is indeed specially made, and so is the mask. Who taught you this?"

Shen Wenqi was kicked down, then got up again. When he heard this, surprise flashed in his eyes, then he returned to normal.

"It's just a cloak. What's the point of teaching it? I don't understand what you are saying, Princess."

"Don't understand?" Yan Ruyu didn't care, "Then do you understand what it means to hunt down the Jiang brothers and sisters?"

Shen Wenqi simply admitted: "Yes, I did it. I heard that Jiang Yanmu and Jiang Tangli were coming, and I didn't want them to meet Jiang Ruhuan to avoid unnecessary trouble."

"I didn't expect that the people who were in charge were all useless. None of them got it done," Shen Wenqi looked back at Jiang Tangli, "If I had known earlier, I should have done it myself and killed you, then there wouldn't be so much trouble."

His eyes were fierce, and Jiang Tangli's heart beat slower when she was stared at.

After coming to his senses, he still cursed: "You want to kill me? I was born with a strong life. The King of Hell knows that I am a good person and will not take me. But you, you have done so many evil things and it is time for you to end your life!"

Yan Ruyu asked, "Did you also harm Jiang Ruhuan's two messengers?"

"Yes, they are disobedient. I hinted at them, but they refused to do what I said. Originally, they just used Yu's token to intercept the letter. Now that Jiang Tangli is coming, it is inevitable that the matter will be exposed. I have no choice but to send them to the west."

Jiang Ruhuan's body trembled slightly. He had such a cruel heart, he was simply a beast!

These innocent people were brutally harmed by Shen Wenqi just because of a thought, just because they were loyal to her.

Why did she choose such a devil?

Shen Wenqi admitted it readily, and Yan Ruyu asked, "Who is Mr. Mo to you?"

Shen Wenqi was startled: "What?"

There was a moment of confusion in his eyes, but it didn't seem fake.

But this man was really good at acting, and Yan Ruyu couldn't believe this look.

Just as I was about to test the waters a few more times, I suddenly heard a cold and sharp whistle cutting through the air!

"There are assassins."

Someone shouted, and everyone became alert and gathered around Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe.

A cold arrow flew straight towards Huo Changhe, but was cut off before it got close.

Before the broken arrow falls to the ground, the second one arrives!

This time, the arrow was aimed at Shen Wenqi.

Yan Ruyu's eyes narrowed slightly, and it was too late for her to attack again.

The first arrow is to attract everyone's attention.

The second arrow is the real killer.

The arrow pierced through Shen Wenqi's throat, and the tip of the arrow was dripping with bright red, hot blood.

Shen Wenqi didn't say another word before he collapsed and died.

Yinding and his men jumped onto the roof to look for it.

Several people holding torches surrounded the corpse, and Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe went forward to check.

"This arrow..." Huo Changhe picked up the broken arrow.

Yan Ruyu looked closely and saw a small lotus mark engraved on the arrow in the light of the fire.

"Red Lotus Sect?"

Huo Changhe frowned: "This arrow was indeed used by them, but it has disappeared. How could it appear here?"

No one can answer this question.

Shen Wenqi is dead, even if he knows it, he can't say it anymore.

After the body was taken down, Jiang Ruhuan did not ask to take another look at it.

There's really nothing good to see.

The yard was rearranged and the night returned to silence.

Yan Ruyu looked at Huo Changhe carefully, and Huo Changhe's eyes were full of tenderness.

"Take your time and don't rush. I promised before I left that I wouldn't get hurt or lose any weight, and I've done it."

Yan Ruyu pursed her lips and smiled.

The time they were apart this time was not too long, but Yan Ruyu felt it was very long.

I think she found it funny herself. She never thought that she, who was used to being alone, would be so attached to someone.

"Is everything going well?" Yan Ruyu asked, "Any comments from Shencheng?"

"No, don't worry, Xiao Chiye helped happily. If it weren't for his efforts, Shen Wenqi's matter would not have been found out so quickly. The things are all in the dark room, very secretive."

Huo Changhe gave a general account of what happened in Shencheng at that time.

Yan Ruyu looked at the painting he brought back. The woman in the painting looked heroic.

"Is this the leader of the Red Lotus Sect?"

"It is said that he is. I have never seen him either." Huo Changhe patted a small bundle beside him. "It contains records about the Red Lotus Sect. They are all here."

Yan Ruyu wanted to open it and take a look, but Huo Changhe hugged her.

"It's too late. Let's talk about it tomorrow. These things won't run away anyway."

"Yu'er," he whispered softly, his breath gentle, into Yan Ruyu's ear, "I miss you so much."

……

In a house in Shencheng.

Mr. Mo flicked the wick: "What's going on?"

The man standing not far away bowed his head and said, "According to the timeline, he should have returned to Youcheng."

Mr. Mo said softly, "Now that he's gone, I feel relieved. I didn't expect him to follow me here."

"We cannot confront him yet. Pass the order down, everyone, keep silent."

"Yes."

"What's the situation in the capital?"

"Don't worry, sir. Everything is going as you expected."

Mr. Mo cut off a piece of the candle wick and said coldly and resolutely: "It's time to change the weather."

……

Spring has arrived in the capital.

The emperor's health had improved a little, and three days ago he gave orders to prepare for the spring hunt.

In previous years, he would have prepared early even without him telling him, but this year was different. He had a health problem and had not attended court for many days, let alone the spring hunt.

Everyone is waiting and watching.

Hearing that the spring hunt was about to take place, people in the Eastern Palace had already started sharpening their knives.
