Lock and secure

It was dark and late at night. After searching all day and turning the entire capital upside down, they found nothing.

Bei Zhenting sat in the study with his head propped up, waiting for news from the secret guard.

Fortunately, we didn't have to wait too long before the secret guard landed in the house.

"Your Highness, there were three waves of assassins on the Queen Mother's birthday. One was a commoner. The two people who assassinated the Emperor were both commoners. They are dead, and it is unknown who they served. There were also two waves of people who poisoned the Princess. One of them was probably the same person who attacked the Duke on Henglin Old Road. They gave the Princess a hallucinogen. Their purpose was probably just to use the hallucinogen to get something out of her mouth..."

Bei Zhenting waved his hand and the secret guard disappeared.

Bei Zhenting frowned, suddenly thought of something, and had a suspect in his mind.

Thinking of that person, Bei Zhenting stood up and walked out of the room.

Two days later, I returned to Dongxiangxuan and stood by the bed. The quilt that was covered with bloodstains and stains that night had been changed.

Bei Zhenting reached out and touched the quilt, clenching his fists. The scene of that night emerged in his mind. The screams and cries in his ears were still deafening. He thought of the man's name that Luo Yao cried out when he was extremely scared.

He Xinlin.

Bei Zhenting frowned.

Who is He Xinlin? Why can't I find this person?

Bei Zhenting's gaze shifted to a purse placed on the bedside.

Luo Yao’s purse?

Bei Zhenting picked up the purse and opened it. Inside was some very ordinary wild herbs.

Bei Zhenting picked it up and smelled it. It had a very faint fragrance. A small smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Bei Zhenting put the purse in his arms and walked out of the room.

Zhou Lin from Zhou Erfang is in a big house in the capital, and he is furious.

Just a few days after Xingchen Cosmetics came out, the business of their Beauty Pavilion was seriously affected. After knowing that Xingchen Cosmetics had originally sought cooperation with their store, Zhou Lin simply wanted to beat the shopkeeper to death with a stick.

Instead of doing good business, Thursday's room got a bargain!

Zhou Sifang was a servant's bastard. Zhou Lin was unhappy when he thought that Zhou Jingxuan would use this star to suppress him. Why should he compete with him for a bastard?

A few days after Xingchen was sold, Zhou Lin went to find Zhou Jingxuan, but he didn't expect that Zhou Jingxuan, an idiot, didn't even know who the owner was!

Zhou Jingxuan's luck saved several of his attempts at sabotage, and Zhou Lin was so angry that he couldn't vent!

"Master, let's continue to buy a few more sets and let the ladies in the store try them a few more times. Isn't it sooner or later that this formula will work?"

When Zhou Lin heard what he said, he rolled his eyes in anger and kicked him on the butt. "How long has it been going on? Have you figured it out yet? Stars are so expensive. I think you're just trying to give money to that bastard Zhou Sifang!"

The servants cried out in pain after being beaten by him.

Zhou Lin felt relieved, but there seemed to be no other solution. He said helplessly, "Let's go buy two more sets tomorrow. It's the same over there. I don't believe he can get away with it this time!"

In a forest outside the city, two children were sitting around a small fire. One child stretched out his hands to warm the fire, while the other child put firewood into the fire.

"Brother, how come you know everything?"

Lin Mo looked very proud, "Don't you see who I am? I've been hanging around Zhuzhi Street for almost eight years!"

The child looked envious and moved closer to sit next to the boy.

The boy clicked his tongue twice in disgust.

From their position, they could just see the fire some distance away.

The terrain there is flat, and it is the perfect place for the national sacrifice group to set up camp.

"General, I have already checked the surrounding area with my subordinates, and there is nothing unusual."

Xu Chengwei nodded, "It's the same tonight, we'll be rotating shifts. Tomorrow is the last day of the national sacrifice, so we must not let our guard down!"

The subordinates left the tent.

Late night, outside the camp.

A group of guards were drowsy.

"Hey, there's been no movement for the past few days. What is General Xu so nervous about?"

"Who knows? General Xu has always been like this."

"Never mind. I haven't slept well for a few days. You take care of me. I'm going to sleep for a while." After the guard said this, he closed his eyes and started snoring.

The guards beside him poked him for a long time but he didn't respond. He had no choice but to keep his eyes open and guard the area at the foot of the mountain alone.

They guarded this area, with their backs against the bare cliffs, and mainly guarded the forest on the side.

In the second half of the night, the fire went out and Zhang Xiaoxiao was shivering from the cold. The two children were huddled together. When he shivered, Lin Mo woke up.

Looking at Zhang Xiaoxiao shivering from the cold leaning on his shoulder, Lin Mo tilted his head to one side, and a voice was heard in the woods below.

"Your Highness, those soldiers are extremely tired. If it's true as that person said, now is the best time to take action."

"Huh, I've finally waited until this day."

There was a slight rustling sound, and a group of people left.

Lin Mo looked at the fire not far away with shock in his eyes. Could it be that these people wanted to assassinate the emperor?

The Fourth Prince?

Where did the Fourth Prince come from in Dacheng?

He never thought that a little beggar like him would actually witness the assassination of the emperor, something that only existed in novels!

Lin Mo swallowed in fear, took off his tattered clothes and covered Zhang Xiaoxiao with them, then walked down the mountain in the dark towards the fire.

Before the hour of Mao, Lin Mo hid in a bush. The hard bushes pricked his body, but he didn't dare to move.

Because those people started taking action!

Lin Mo looked at the three soldiers who were sleeping behind the cart and felt anxious. These soldiers actually dared to sleep!

Looking at the dense crowds of people entering the camp, Lin Mo picked up a stone and took out the slingshot from his arms.

The slingshot slipped out of his hand and the stone flew out. There was a scream of "Ah". The man who was hit screamed so loudly that it woke up all the dozing soldiers in the camp.

The people who were preparing to sneak in and the soldiers who had woken up looked at each other, and the scene instantly fell into chaos.

Having done something bad, Lin Mo's heart was pounding when he heard the sounds of those people fighting. He quickly retreated. In a panic, he slipped and rolled down the mountain.

At dawn, on the last day of the national sacrifice, a group of people were waiting anxiously at Zhuchengmen.

Bei Zhenting is also among them.

At noon, His Majesty and all the officials returned to the capital under the escort of the Cavalry Corps.

When returning to the capital from the national sacrifice, all the people knelt in worship, and the kings performed a half-bow.

As the magnificent dragon chariot passed by, the three princes' faces changed instantly.
