Surprise!!! The Regent Princess is actually a hidden boss

The two walked for about an hour, and their footprints disappeared at the bottom of the mountain.

"Huh? Why are there no footprints?" Ming Zixi asked in confusion, then raised her head and looked upwards.

Situ Yue didn't wait for her to speak, and said, "There should be a cave above. If nothing unexpected happens, those people should be halfway up the mountain. Or on the top of the mountain. And seeing that the mountain is so steep, if they really go up, their martial arts skills must be very good. And we don't know how many people there are on the other side, so we can't go rashly for the time being."

Ming Zixi raised her head and looked at Situ Yue and asked, "Sister Yiyue, what should we do next?"

Situ Yue turned her head and looked around. There happened to be a towering tree nearby. Its top was almost halfway up the mountain, and its branches and leaves were lush, which was just enough to hide her figure and allow her to see the situation on the opposite side of the mountainside.

Seeing this, Situ Yue said as he walked, "Let's go up the tree and take a look." Just as he finished speaking, the harsh sound that the sect leader mentioned that night gradually sounded.

Situ Yue's expression changed and she turned to look at Ming Zixi behind her. She saw that her expression was no longer as lively and agile as before, but had become sinister and cruel.

He sneered at her and said, "Sister Yue is feeling a little uncomfortable right now."

Situ Yue raised her trembling arm and pointed at her, "You...what did you do!"

After saying this, he fell backwards with a thump.

Ming Zixi stepped forward with the corners of her lips curled up, sneering: "You still want to be the head of the Situ clan, but you were fooled by me so easily. It seems that you are not that good."

After he finished speaking, he took out his whistle and blew it, but in the blink of an eye, footsteps were heard halfway up the mountain.

Soon, there were already dozens of people standing here. Just by looking at their clothes and body shapes, one could tell at a glance that they were not Canglan people.

-

Chu Qianyu didn't want her father to be involved in this matter, so she ordered Leng Qingzhou to forcibly lead the person to another place.

Wait until she notifies you before coming here.

Then he went straight to the location of the fake Situ Yue and Ming Zixi, and would be watching everything that happened here in the dark.

Just as she was about to move forward, she discovered that there was someone running faster than her.

When he settled down, Chu Qianyu looked at him with eyes wide open in disbelief. Didn't this man promise that he wouldn't come? Why did he suddenly appear here?

After Mo Yinan appeared, he walked straight towards Situ Yue, his eyes showing panic and his hands trembling slightly.

Before he could get close, Ming Zixi quickly stepped forward to separate the two of them, and saluted, "Hello, Regent. I wonder why you are here?"

"What did you do to her!" Mo Yinan's eyes were cold, and he looked at Ming Zixi as deep as a pool of stagnant water.

Ming Zixi was a little panicked at this moment, but she forced herself to calm down in just a moment, pretending to be calm and said: "I accompanied the clan leader here to find the murderer who killed the previous clan leader, but I don't know why she suddenly fainted. I don't know either."

"You don't know?" Mo Yinan approached step by step, his eyes bloodshot, as if he could kill the person in front of him in the next moment.

Sure enough, the next moment, he picked up Ming Zixi and threw her out.

Ming Zixi seemed to have no power to resist, and fell heavily to the ground like a kite with its string cut, spitting blood.

"Regent, uh... I'm the person the clan leader trusts the most. Ahem... You treat me like this, aren't you afraid that the clan leader will blame you when he wakes up... blame you?" Ming Zixi covered her chest with her hands, blood constantly flowing out of her mouth, and she looked extremely miserable.

This was something she had never expected, and she had never expected that the Regent would appear when she was about to accomplish her goal.

Mo Yinan walked forward and hugged Situ Yue. He looked at Ming Zixi and sneered, "Humph! Blame me? If you tell me what you did to her now and hand over the antidote, maybe I will leave you with an intact body."

Ming Zixi seemed to be wronged. Suddenly, tears flowed down her face. She sobbed non-stop and said with great grievance: "Sister Yue and I have had problems with our bodies all the way here. We both said before that maybe the poison had not been resolved."

Mo Yinan listened to Ming Zixi's words and looked at Situ Yue with worry in his eyes. He had just checked and found that the person was at least still alive, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, he saw her body slightly tilted towards his chest, and then she squinted her eyes, blinked twice and closed them again.

Only then did he realize that she was acting.

His mind went blank for a moment, but he quickly reacted. He then slowly put Situ Yue on the ground, looked at the group of men in strange clothes around him and asked, "What do you do?"

Ming Zixi said to those people, "Why don't you leave quickly? When Patriarch Situ wakes up, he will come to find you."

Before the group of people had time to leave, they saw Mo Yinan clapping his hands, and many people quickly flew out from the surroundings, their number was twice theirs, and they surrounded the group of people tightly.

Mo Yinan looked at them and suddenly remembered the conversation in the inn that day. He looked at Ming Zixi again, although he didn't quite understand what Situ Yue was doing now.

But he was sure that he might have disrupted her plan. He suddenly felt annoyed.

I just saw her fainting in the dark, and Ming Zixi was behaving abnormally, so I suddenly got anxious and rushed out without caring about anything.

She had already asked him to tell a lie that day in the inn, so there was no reason for her to disobey Ming Zixi.

Thinking of this, his mind started to spin rapidly, and Mo Yinan decided to start with what was said at the inn that day.

So he looked at the group of people and asked, "Are you from Beichuan?"

They looked at each other and said nothing.

"What are you doing in my Canglan Country? Is there any information?"

Those people still didn't speak. Mo Yinan remembered that Ming Zixi had asked them to leave, so he turned to look at her and said, "What did you mean by asking them to leave? And I remember you said at that time that the murderer of her parents might be around Qingchuan Peak. What's going on here?"

Ming Zixi had long known that the Regent and Situ Yue had a close relationship, so how could she tell the truth now? She looked behind her, feeling a little anxious. When she heard the noise just now, she thought it was someone arranged by the Emperor.

This caused Situ Yue to be unconscious temporarily, so that she would have the final say in everything. When the people sent by the Emperor believed that Situ Yue had connections with the Beichuan spies, they would wake her up. In this way, even if she had a mouth, it would be difficult for her to explain herself.

But what could she say now? The Regent definitely believed Situ Yue.

She looked at those people and then at Mo Yinan, then slowly said: "We just followed the trail all the way here. The tribe leader said that the group of people might be halfway up the mountain. We were about to go up to check, but the tribe leader fainted. Then they came down. I..."

"What else do you want? What I want you to tell me is why you let them go just now? Do you know them?"

Mo Yinan was not at all misled by what she said.

Seeing that it failed, Ming Zixi came up with another plan. Now she could only take things one step at a time. So she closed her eyes and said as if she was seeking death: "Although you are on good terms with the clan leader on the surface, I will never betray the clan leader. You should just give up on this idea."

"What does this group of people have to do with you betraying Patriarch Situ?" Mo Yinan was a little slow to react to her words.

But he reacted in a moment, and suddenly felt angry. He understood everything.

It turned out that they wanted to frame him. That was why the Emperor sent General Chu here temporarily.

No wonder Situ Yue had told him earlier not to follow. But thinking of this, Mo Yinan suddenly felt a little disappointed. If she had believed in herself and told her the plan, perhaps this would not have happened.
