Reborn on the wedding night, the regent princess said she knew she was wrong
Chapter 494: Self-destruction
Xuan Ming received the news.
"What? The Holy Prince encountered an assassin at the city gate?" Xuan Ming stood up in shock, his face full of disbelief.
Yingzhu lowered his head and dared not breathe.
That's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Second Continent. Now someone actually dares to attack the Holy Crown Prince right under their noses. This is simply a slap in their faces.
If this matter gets out, they will lose all face.
Thinking of this, Xuan Ming's anger grew stronger: "Investigate, investigate carefully for me, I want to see who is so bold as to take action at the foot of the imperial city." He said gritting his teeth.
When Yingzhu heard Xuanming's address change from "I" to "I", she knew that Xuanming was really angry this time, and hurriedly responded, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will do it immediately."
Having said that, he retreated in a hurry.
Xuan Ming returned to Mu Zhi angrily. Seeing this, Mu Zhi asked in surprise, "Why are you so angry today?"
"Don't say anything yet. Take a sip of tea and calm down. Look at you, your face has changed." Mu Zhi brought a cup of tea and handed it to Xuan Ming's mouth.
When people are impulsive, they often speak without thinking. At this time, it is often better to drink a few sips of water and slow down before speaking.
Xuan Ming drank the cup of tea directly from Mu Zhi's hand. After drinking the tea, his emotions calmed down a little.
"The Qiong family raised a ghost spirit, which turned into Mo Beichen and spoke nonsense in the hall. Later, it turned into Yun Qingluo and caused trouble at the city gate. I told the Holy Prince, and he hurried back. Unexpectedly, he was assassinated as soon as he left the city." Xuan Ming was still angry when he talked about this.
Mu Zhi laughed instead. Xuan Ming was stunned when he heard it and looked at her in confusion.
Mu Zhi knew that she had lost her composure, so she quickly stopped smiling and hurriedly explained, "Although our Xuan Cang Continent has lost face this time, the attention of all continents will be focused on the Qiong Family and Mei Ling. This way, Yun Qingluo and the others will have a better chance of survival."
She paused and continued, "They are already in a difficult situation. If they are ambushed again on their way back to Beijing, the consequences will be disastrous. Now that the attention of the continents has been diverted, they have gained precious time. I hope they can seize the opportunity."
After listening to Mu Zhi's words, Xuan Ming nodded slightly, his expression gradually relaxed, and he said with emotion: "You are still the best at comforting people. It is indeed as you said, but what I didn't expect was that the first to fall into chaos was the Saint Qiong Continent. Although it is easy for the Saint Qiong Dynasty to deal with the Qiong family, if other continents also intervene, things may not be so simple."
Mu Zhi was surprised, her eyes widened, and she asked quickly, "What do you mean? Could it be that you suspect that there are other continents helping the Qiong family?"
Xuan Ming shook his head, but his tone was somewhat certain, "If the Qiong Family didn't have support behind them, they wouldn't have thought of breaking up with the Sheng Family so quickly, but it's hard to say now."
He saw some worry on Mu Zhi's face, so he smiled and comforted her: "We don't know the exact situation yet, so don't worry too much. Wait until they thoroughly investigate the assassin's force before making any plans."
Mu Zhi nodded, but her brows were still furrowed, as if she was unable to completely let go of the worries in her heart.
She whispered, "I hope Yun Qingluo and the others can return safely. This way, the situation will become clear."
After all, if Yun Qingluo could return safely, then they would know who was chasing them, and thus have a clear goal to hold them accountable.
More importantly, only when Yun Qingluo comes back can their Xuancang Continent truly stand up straight. Otherwise, if the king and queen of Xumi Continent encounter misfortune on their continent, they will never be able to wash themselves clean even if they jump into the Yellow River.
Thinking of this, Mu Zhi's mood became even heavier. She silently prayed that Yun Qingluo and the others could successfully overcome this crisis.
Xuan Ming heard a peculiar knock on the door and knew that there was a result.
"I'll go get busy first, you take a good rest." Xuan Ming said and left quickly.
Mu Zhi felt a little lost.
Madam Liu had passed away in recent years. She happened to see this scene and comforted her, "Your Majesty, don't be sad. The emperor is doing this for your own good. The more you know, the more you will think about it. The emperor didn't mean to hide it from you, otherwise he wouldn't have come to your place to drink this cup of tea."
Mu Zhi sighed, "I understand, Aunt Liu."
Royal study room.
"Master, we have found a clue. It's someone from the Qiong family. They thought that the incident of the evil spirit pretending to be Queen Xumi at the city gate was staged by the Sheng family, and they used it to falsely blame the Qiong family, so the assassination at the city gate happened." Ying Zhu reported carefully.
After learning that Sheng Chuyi and others had been assassinated, Yingzhu immediately sent Xuanwei to investigate.
Otherwise the news wouldn't have spread so quickly.
However, the results of the investigation shocked him.
The Qiong family actually believed that the incident at the city gate was written and directed by the Holy Family in an attempt to frame them?
That's why they brazenly staged an assassination at the city gate and put the blame on several other continents.
This conclusion was hard for Ying Zhu to believe, because now other continents knew that the Qiong family had a spirit. If they gave in to the Holy Family, perhaps the Holy Qiong Continent would protect them based on their ancestral agreement.
But they targeted the Holy Family first, which was extremely stupid.
Ying Zhu even began to doubt whether the information was true or not. She found it hard to believe that the Qiong family would have such a weird way of thinking and actually destroy their own retreat.
After listening to Ying Zhu's report, Xuan Ming fell silent.
For a moment, he suspected that he was hallucinating.
He thought of several answers, but none of them expected that the Qiong family would attack his own people, and they were so impatient.
"I guess he doesn't want the Holy Prince to bring the news back to the Holy Qiong Continent. Moreover, if the assassination succeeds and the Holy Qiong Family has no successor, then the Qiong Family might actually have a chance to climb to that position."
Ying Zhu was a little confused. "But the people of the Qiong family were all killed before they even got close to the carriage. Not even a single one was left alive. Could it be that the Holy Prince already knew that it was the Qiong family?"
Xuan Ming waved his hand, "They definitely don't know, but at this moment, no matter which force they saw, it might not be real."
Ying Zhu didn't quite understand what Xuan Ming meant. "I don't quite understand what Your Highness means." He scratched his head embarrassedly.
