"It turns out to be His Highness the Crown Prince." Ning Luo pretended to be surprised and saluted: "My sister-in-law has met His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Princess Zhan, hurry up and forgive me."

I didn’t even read the prince’s memorial. I originally wanted to have a good chat with her, but now I have a rare opportunity.

However, it is still prudent to ask:

"Why aren't you with the War King?"

Ning Luo was determined to test the prince's character and revealed everything:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not know. This morning, my father appointed the War King as the commander of the imperial army and ordered him to dispatch the three armies to protect Kyoto. However, he was worried that he might have other intentions due to his power, so he asked me to stay as a hostage."

Hearing this, the prince was shocked.

"What happened?"

"Don't you know, Prince? The former commander of the Imperial Guards led some Imperial Guards to defect."

"I don't know." The prince became worried: "Why did the imperial guards defect? ​​Is someone forcing the palace?"

It seems that he is not jealous or afraid of the war king's military power.

Ning Luo said: "Father didn't tell us the specific details."

"Father, where is he?"

The prince said: "Father, after lunch, he went into the inner hall to rest. There were imperial doctors and concubines waiting in front of him."

"Should we go visit?" Ning Luo suggested.

The prince hesitated and said: "My father ordered me to correct the memorials here and stay on duty until dawn. Don't disturb him if nothing happens."

"Oh." Ning Luo asked unintentionally: "Didn't His Highness the Crown Prince bring Sirius here?"

At first glance, this prince is powerless.

"This time, I came to Yangxin Hall to assist my father in handling government affairs. I dare not take Tianlang with me."

The prince said proudly: "Princess Zhan, don't worry, this palace can protect your safety."

"If you have nothing to do, please sit here."

The prince also brought her a soft chair in a friendly manner.

Ning Luo sat down without ceremony.

The prince saw her cheerful nature and liked her even more.

"Your name is Ning Luo, right?"

"Yes." Ning Luo nodded, and from the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of several figures heading towards the inner hall.

There was no sound at all.

All of them are highly skilled in martial arts.

Being able to walk in the Hall of Cultivation of Heart, these people are the emperor’s people, right?

If someone comes from outside, the War King should be able to stop them.

Of course, there may be other janissaries who rebelled.

But it is not easy to assassinate the emperor. There are many shadow guards around the emperor.

The prince said in a gentle tone: "Ning Luo, you have helped me twice, what do you want in return?"

Ning Luo asked with a smile: "Can I really make a request?"

The prince blurted out: "Whatever this palace can do, I will definitely help you achieve it."

"Okay, then I have a request." Ning Luo lowered his voice: "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince inherits the great cause in the future, can you not confiscate the property and fight against the palace, and ensure that my property in Kyoto will not be confiscated?"

The King of War said that before he recovered from the poisonous poison, he planned to support the prince's appearance to gain power.

Therefore, Ning Luo wanted to find out what the prince was thinking.

The prince said bluntly: "This palace has never wanted to be the enemy of War King. If that happens, not only will this palace not punish War King, but because of your help twice, we will also reward you with a city."

"Okay, I hope His Highness will remember today's promise."

After Ning Luo finished speaking, he rushed forward and threw the prince aside.

A sharp broadsword was slashing straight behind him, the blade was glaring with cold light, but it missed a foot, and the prince was protected behind him by Ning Luo.

She flicked her long sleeves, and the poison powder spilled out, and the man in black in front immediately fell to the ground.

The prince owes her another favor!

The prince shouted in horror: "Come here, catch the assassin quickly!"

Soon, many imperial guards poured in outside.

"Where is the assassin?"

"it's here."

Ning Luo knelt down and uncovered the man in black's face.

The imperial guard stepped forward and took a look, looking at each other.

This man is the emperor's shadow guard, and there is an engraved mark on his face.

The emperor's shadow guard assassinated the prince, what happened?

"Take him down for questioning." Someone decided to hide the matter.

"No, we'll ask him personally." Ning Luo took out a pill from his sleeve and stuffed it into the killer's mouth.

Not long after, the man woke up and saw that he was being held captive. He was about to bite his tongue and commit suicide when Ning Luo removed his jaw faster than him.

"I asked you a question, and if you don't answer honestly, I will make your life worse than death." Ning Luo took out a small box from his sleeve. Everyone thought it was some kind of poison, but they didn't expect it to be an ant.

Ning Luo put the ant on the shadow guard's neck.

The ant bit him, and a big bump suddenly appeared on his neck.

My whole body felt itchy and painful.

Thought it was a poisonous insect.

He was trembling with fear.

Ning Luo then reset his jaw and interrogated him coldly: "Tell me, who sent you to assassinate the prince?"
