Top white, rich and beautiful, the princess is reborn and the revenge story
Chapter 51 The person behind the scenes
After a while, there was a rustling sound from the cabinet. Looking through the crack in the door, a man dressed as a waiter grabbed Zhao Yuanqing in his arms, covered her mouth, and put a dagger to her neck.
The man snorted coldly, "Sun Xin is quite cautious."
This person knows Sun Xin!
Zhao Yuanqing's mind raced. Which side was he on? She struggled a few times, and the man shouted impatiently, "Don't move! I'll kill you if you do!"
Why not kill me now? Wouldn't killing me be the end of it all? He wants to take him alive? That means he still has time!
Zhao Yuanqing bit the man's palm hard. A smell of soybeans mixed with grass came over her, making her dizzy.
The man groaned and pressed the dagger hard against Zhao Yuanqing's neck. Blood dripped down, flowing through the golden chain and onto the golden ball containing the Dragon God Pearl.
A strange thing happened. A white light flashed, and the man couldn't open his eyes. He finally couldn't help but yelled, "What happened?"
Zhao Yuanqing saw it clearly. Her Dragon God Pearl suddenly turned into a crescent-shaped scimitar and fell straight into her hand.
The man also saw it all clearly. This is a treasure! Greedy eyes were revealed. He wanted this thing!
Zhao Yuanqing was furious and decided that he must not let this person stay!
She swung the crescent-shaped scimitar and slashed at the man, "Swish!"
The scimitar was extremely sharp and pierced the man's chest, giving him a chilling feeling. The man looked down at the scimitar, said "you you", and then tilted his head and died.
Zhao Yuanqing breathed a sigh of relief. He absolutely could not let anyone know about the existence of the Dragon God Pearl.
At the same time, the cabinet door opened, revealing the faces of Sun Xin and Meng Jiuwenqian, who shouted, "Princess!"
"I'm fine."
Wen Qian and Meng Jiu hurriedly helped Zhao Yuanqing out. Sun Xin wanted to go forward to comfort Zhao Yuanqing, but was afraid that she would be annoyed with him like before, so he could only stand by and check with his eyes that she was okay before he breathed a sigh of relief.
Sun Xin pulled the man out and touched his nose. It was cold and he was dead.
Meng Jiu asked, "Princess, what weapon are you holding?"
"Oh, it was this man's. I took advantage of his unpreparedness, bit him, and then stabbed him to death."
Zhao Yuanqing shook the crescent-shaped scimitar in his hand and said, "I think this weapon is very good. I might as well use it myself."
Meng Jiu and Wen Qian had no doubts, and Zhao Yuanqing breathed a sigh of relief.
Sun Xin said, "Your Highness, what happened just now? Please tell me again."
According to Zhao Yuanqing's description, she was squatting on the ground to avoid the poison arrow when a man suddenly jumped in from the window, grabbed her neck and covered her mouth. Later, when he heard Sun Xin and others were about to come in, he took her to hide in the closet.
"I just bit him, and his hand tasted like beans and grass."
"Beans and grass? That means this man feeds horses regularly. He's either a groom or he rides horses a lot."
Sun Xin took off the man's coat and found a small gourd in his arms. The gourd was two inches high and had a pair of mandarin ducks carved on it. It was also wrapped with a red rope, giving it an erotic scent.
"I know where this person is from."
"Where?"
Sun Xin held up the gourd. "This is a carved gourd, a specialty of Lanzhou in Longyou Road. It's only available in Lanzhou. This means this person is from Longyou Road. His hands smell of grass, which means he came on horseback. Your Highness, this person is most likely coming for me, but he's implicated you instead."
Zhao Yuanqing pondered, "I rarely see people from Longyou Dao. I only had some disagreements with Sun Ping at the palace banquet. Could it be that he sent someone here?"
Sun Xin shook his head. "Sun Ping is blind and is under my supervision. He wasn't the one who did it. I suspect it was done by my sworn brothers."
"Sun Ping has adopted many sons?"
"Yes."
During the conversation, Sun Xin kept staring at Zhao Yuanqing nervously, fearing that she would show the same disgusted emotion as before. Fortunately, Zhao Yuanqing was concentrating on thinking about something at the moment and did not show any annoyance towards him.
"Jiedushi Sun is the most knowledgeable about the affairs of Longyou Road, so I'll ask you to investigate. I await your news."
"Your Highness, please rest assured. This is what I should do."
After this incident, Sun Xin was no longer interested in discussing opening a branch. After agreeing to talk about it later, he ordered someone to carry the man's body and left.
After he left, Meng Jiu said, "Princess, could it be that he planned this all himself? After all, he was the one who asked you to meet first, and the person who killed you was also from Longyou Road."
Zhao Yuanqing thought of Sun Xin's loyalty to the Crown Prince and shook his head, "Probably not. Killing me won't do him any good."
The princess was assassinated in Zui Xiang Feng, which caused an uproar. The Dali Temple quickly intervened in the investigation. The man was a merchant from other places who came to the capital to purchase goods. The poisonous arrows were shot from the roofs around Zui Xiang Feng, and the arrowheads were smeared with poison. After the incident, the officials went to check, and found that the surrounding area was already deserted.
Finally, they came to the conclusion that this was a premeditated crime. As for their purpose in kidnapping Zhao Yuanqing, it was impossible to know because the man was dead.
The case was shelved.
Five days later, Sun Xin sent someone to negotiate the details of the cooperation with Zui Xiangfeng, and then took Sun Ping back to Longyou Road.
Zhao Yuanqing stood on the upper floor of Zui Xiang Feng, watching Sun Xin's motorcade go away. Recalling how he had stayed close to him before, he discovered two problems.
One is that Sun Xin does have a crush on him, and his reaction in a hurry is not fake, but where does this feeling come from? Zhao Yuanqing doesn't think he is the kind of person who can easily make people fall in love at first sight.
Secondly, Zhao Yuanqing discovered that there was something wrong with her psychology. If a man approached her, showed affection to her, or even expressed the desire to take the relationship further, she would think of the unbearable experiences in her previous life, and then she would become physiologically uncomfortable and want to escape.
A sense of sadness rose in Zhao Yuanqing's heart. Even if he was reborn again, traces of what happened in his previous life would still remain.
However, she soon felt relieved. It was fine like this. She didn't want to get married anyway. If all men were as bad as Cui Hao, it would be better not to marry.
The assassination of Zhao Yuanqing shocked the prince and the queen. In the past, they had only encountered conspiracies under the table. This was the first time that an assassination was carried out in the open.
The prince was puzzled and asked, "Qing'er is just a princess, why would you want to assassinate her? If you want to kill someone, it's me."
The Queen quickly said "Pah, Pah, Pah" and said, "What are you talking about? You two are my treasures. You are not allowed to kill either of you."
Zhao Yuanqing said, "Brother Emperor, I don't think this matter is simply directed at me, but it kills two birds with one stone."
"Oh? Who else?"
"Sun Xin. If Sun Xin is killed by a poisonous arrow, Longyou Dao will be leaderless and in chaos. If I am kidnapped, it will upset you and Grandpa, causing chaos in the northwest and the entire country."
"If that's the case, this plan is extremely vicious, Qing'er. If you do this, the emperor will definitely take it seriously."
Zhao Yuanqing didn't believe it. "Brother, this matter was easily let off by the emperor. The Dali Temple gave up without finding anything. The emperor didn't take it seriously at all."
The brother and sister fell silent. The emperor's indifference meant that he acquiesced to this result.
But, it's impossible for the emperor to want civil unrest. He's the ruler of a country! What good would that do him?!
No one could answer their questions.
