After the death escape, I became the white moonlight of the crazy tyrant

Wen Hemian was speechless.

When you see the hatred in Alina's eyes, you know that this is a girl with a story.

However, just one story was not enough to gain Wen Hemian's trust, especially since they were a barbarian tribe that had been eyeing Dazhao for decades.

Wen Hemian took a sip of tea calmly, his eyes calm, "But even so, you're still going to die. It's fine if you use me, but you're reaching out to Your Majesty. Do you really think we're that good-tempered?"

Wen Hemian sneered, put down the teacup, and it made a crisp sound on the table, showing his intimidation without even being angry.

"You could have told me directly in private instead of using this little trick of testing me."

Wen Hemian believed that what Alina said was true, but it was also definitely true that she wanted to take action against Xie Lang at the beginning. He didn't know why she changed her mind at the last minute, but the reason was that she couldn't get away.

After being found out, Alina was stunned for a moment, but soon, she smiled with relief: "It's okay, I can die, I can lead a group alone, I won't lose. Anyway, I can't go back, I might as well let them be buried with me, it's glorious."

Alina seemed to really think so. She accepted it without any argument to Wen Hemian's words.

Wen Hemian stared at her for a while without saying anything.

After a long while, he waved.

"Send Princess Alina back to the inn."

Alina seemed to have let it go and stopped pestering the man. She was sent back obediently.

The conversation with Alina was not completely without gain. At least Wen Hemian knew that there might be some dirty people among the barbarian envoys who came this time.

Her parents were guarding Mobei, a place as impregnable as a rock. The barbarians were repeatedly defeated and have been much more peaceful in recent years. Now it seems that it was just an appearance.

Since they couldn't take action at the border, they would start from within the court. As long as Alina managed to stay, they would have a nail that could be useful in many cases.

What she said about not being able to go back is also easy to understand. First, if she succeeds in staying, she will definitely not be able to go back. Second, even if she fails, all the responsibility can be put on her. It is impossible for Da Zhao to kill all the envoys just because of a princess.

All we can say is that Alina was a person who knew the times and changed her mind temporarily. Otherwise, if she had followed the original plan, she would still not have ended up well.

Before bringing Alina out, Wen Hemian asked Huo Ping to bring everyone out for interrogation one by one, so no one would know about their conversation.

If Alina wanted to surrender, she should know how to do it.

After thinking about all the pros and cons, Wen Hemian turned to look at the Imperial Hospital Director who had left the palace with him, and said, "There is nothing for you to do here. Go back to the palace and report to His Majesty."

The Imperial Hospital said respectfully: "Yes."

If you want to pretend to be sick, you have to act properly. As he thought Xie Lang would not sneak out of the palace now, Wen Hemian went straight back to the palace. The investigation would take a few days, so he gave her some peace and quiet first.

Sometimes, things just don't go as planned. As soon as Wen Hemian stepped into the palace, Changzhu came and said, "Sir, a young monk from Tonghui Temple disappeared a few days ago. I sent people to look for him, but there is still no news."

Tonghui Temple is where Wen Hemian lived when he was a child.

After Xie Lang grew up, he found another martial arts master, and Chang Zhu was no longer responsible for teaching him martial arts. He was sent by Wen Hemian to guard Tonghui Temple in order to prevent anyone with ulterior motives from getting in.

Thinking of what the system said, Wen Hemian grasped the key point: "She has been missing for so long, why was she discovered only now?"

It was known that the people sent would not betray her, so what was the situation here?

Chang Zhu looked unhappy. "The flow of people in the temple is simple. The little monk rarely interacted with others on weekdays. No one noticed him. But he disappeared when he went down the mountain to buy things. Before that, he had just been to the west wing."

Changzhu's subordinates have all been through a lot of trials and tribulations, and it is a dereliction of duty for them to have made such a mistake.

He had no intention of shirking his responsibility. After sorting out the cause and effect, he came back to inform Wen Hemian.

"I failed in my duty, please punish me, Your Highness."

Wen Hemian sighed: "Let's not talk about punishment first, finding the person is the most urgent task."

The whole thing revealed a sense of weirdness. Wen Hemian did not think of punishing Chang Zhu rashly. She said, "Chang Zhu, you are someone close to my father. I trust you, so I hope you can do your best to find the missing little monk."

Chang Zhu had already prepared to accept punishment, but Wen Hemian's words made him stunned. Then he suddenly raised his head and said, "Please rest assured, my subordinate will definitely find the person!"

He spoke with certainty and ran fast.

Wen Hemian smiled helplessly and went to Qingyun to get the system.

This guy is addicted to pretending to be a cat. He acts like a spoiled child all day long in the mansion and eats everything he wants.

Wen Hemian told it about Tonghui Temple: "...So this means that the protection on me has begun to disappear?"

How could it be such a coincidence that something like this happened at this critical juncture?

The system didn't dare to fool around: "Yes. So have you made up your mind, to confess or just leave?"

Confess? Wen Hemian couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking about what he was struggling with, what would happen if he confessed?

"Well, let me remind you, is your little emperor a good person? I wanted to say before that the way he looks at you seems a little wrong..."

The system had just said half of its words when Wen Hemian grabbed Fate by the scruff of the neck.

The woman stared at it with her clear and bright eyes: "Say it again?"

The system gave up and said, "Just before in Mingzhou, he wiped your hair. You know, I saw it. Not only did he smell your hair, he also looked at you with that... that kind of ambiguous look!"

"And more! What kind of nice person is jealous of a cat?"

The system blurted out everything that it hadn't had the chance to say the last time it was interrupted by Xie Lang.

If you have the guts to be jealous of it, why don't you have the guts to show it openly in front of Wen Hemian?

When the system was speaking, it didn't care about Wen Hemian's reaction at all, nor did it notice that when it heard it say to smell her hair, its pupils trembled.

Wen Hemian's original vague guess was confirmed. She felt complicated and indescribable. She took a deep breath, and her fingertips loosened their grip on the system. Her eyes became slightly unfocused, and she leaned on the table next to her.

It’s actually true.

Despite the extreme shock, Wen Hemian's emotions were unusually calm. She was thinking rapidly in her mind, wondering when this sign appeared.

But from her point of view, everything was too normal. She couldn't imagine when Xie Lang had this idea.

"Hey, host, are you okay?"

The system was completely broken, and he finally realized that the news he had told might be a bit too shocking for Wen Hemian, but looking at her expression, he didn't dare to say anything.

"Okay, I'm fine." Wen Hemian smoothed its fur, his voice even calm, "System, thank you for telling me this news."

Recalling the burning look the boy gave her again and again, Wen Hemian closed her eyes and then became even calmer.

That was the child she had watched grow up, taught and supported all the way.
