God's Daughter, Queen of Miraculous Medicine

After the fourth prince was assassinated, he was injured and could only take a short rest at the post station.

The Fourth Prince looked tired, but his eyes were still sharp. He turned to look at Suifeng beside him and said worriedly, "I'm afraid this journey won't be peaceful. In my opinion, there may be assassinations waiting for us one after another."

When Suifeng heard this, he gnashed his teeth in anger, his hair stood on end, and he roared indignantly: "Your Highness, these thieves are so bold and lawless! How dare they openly do such a cruel thing to you, Your Highness? Aren't they afraid of retribution?"

The Fourth Prince's face was extremely solemn, as if covered by a thick layer of dark clouds. He took a deep breath and slowly said, "This assassination is definitely not something that ordinary gangsters can do. It must be someone in the court who secretly instigated it. Don't you think it looks like a dead soldier?"

Sui Feng frowned and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Your Highness, since you already have a guess in your mind, who do you think is the mastermind behind this?"

The fourth prince lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head and stared into the distance with a sharp gaze, muttering to himself: "Suifeng, from now on, you have to pay more attention to Wang Ying's every move. I don't know why, but I always feel that there is something wrong with this person."

Sui Feng was shocked when he heard this and cried out, "Your Highness, do you suspect that this assassination was ordered by Prince Yu?"

The fourth prince shook his head slightly, and answered in a serious and cautious tone: "There is no solid evidence for this matter, it's all just my intuition. However, no matter what, before the truth comes out, we must be extra careful along the way and never take it lightly."

Suifeng hurriedly bowed respectfully and responded solemnly: "Yes, Your Highness, please rest assured that I will fulfill my mission and protect Your Highness."

In the subsequent journey, the Fourth Prince and others took every step very carefully and cautiously, as if treading on thin ice.

Just when everyone was on edge, a guard hurried over and presented a mysterious secret letter.

After the Fourth Prince received the letter, he felt a chill running down his spine.

He slowly opened the envelope with a serious expression, and when he saw the contents of the letter, his face suddenly turned pale.

Sui Feng, who was standing by, saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to ask, "Your Highness, what on earth was in the letter? How could it make you lose your composure like this?"

The fourth prince took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner turmoil, and said in a deep voice: "The letter said that if I want to know the truth about the robbery of the military rations, I must go to Shilipo outside the city alone at midnight tonight."

Hearing this, Wang Ying looked worried and hurriedly advised: "Your Highness, this matter is very serious! This is obviously a trap, you must not trust others easily and take risks easily!"

But the Fourth Prince had made up his mind. He looked into the distance with a firm gaze and said resolutely: "In order to uncover the truth behind this and give justice to the soldiers, even if there are dangerous places ahead, I will definitely go and give it a try!"

Time passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye it was midnight.

The fourth prince came to Shilipo alone as promised. At this time and place, everything was silent, only the night wind gently blew through the leaves, making bursts of rustling sounds.

The moonlight sprinkled on the ground like water, casting shadows on everything around, adding a sense of eeriness.

Just as the Fourth Prince was concentrating on observing the movements around him, suddenly, a black shadow flashed out from the darkness like a ghost.

I saw that the man was covered in a black cloak and his face could not be seen clearly.

“Fourth Prince, you are indeed very courageous. You actually dare to come to the appointment alone.” The black shadow said with a sneer.

Upon hearing this, the Fourth Prince instantly became alert, clenched his hands into fists, stared at the uninvited guest in front of him, and shouted, "Who are you? Do you really know the truth about the robbery of military rations?"

The shadow sneered, "Fourth Prince, the truth behind this may surprise you. In fact, the military rations were robbed this time because a certain powerful official in the court colluded with the enemy country."

The fourth prince shouted angrily: "Nonsense! Who is so bold?"

The black shadow lowered his voice and said, "This person is in a high position and has great power, he is..." However, before he could finish his words, the mysterious black shadow left quickly like a gust of wind, as if afraid of being discovered, leaving the Fourth Prince standing there in shock.

After the fourth prince came to his senses, he shouted towards the direction where the shadow disappeared: "Hey! Explain yourself clearly! Who is it? Why are you hiding so much?"

But the only answers he got were the empty streets and his own echo. The dark shadow had long since disappeared without a trace, leaving no clues.
