Chapter 202 Murder and Silence
About half an hour later
Ji Xuan sat on a chair, drinking tea leisurely: "How is it? Did you find Lord Lu?"
The jailer from the Dali Temple who came to identify him shook his head at Lu Hanyang: "Sir, no."
There was no expression on Lu Hanyang's calm face, except that his brows were furrowed.
Ji Xuan sneered: "Since there is no such thing, I will not see you off. Lord Lu, take care."
Lu Hanyang pursed his thin lips, swept his cold eyes over the group of servants in the yard, and finally bowed to Ji Xuan.
"My minister retire."
After seeing Lu Hanyang off, the smile on Ji Xuan's face suddenly turned cold.
"how?"
A black-clad secret guard appeared beside him: "Don't worry, Your Highness. All those who knew about this have been dealt with."
Ji Xuan's eyes were cold and gloomy: "Have you dealt with the body of that bitch?"
The secret guard shuddered when he thought of the miserable appearance of the corpse, and spoke respectfully with his head slightly lowered.
"Your Highness, I have thrown it into the back hills to feed the wolves. I am afraid that only a pile of bones are left now."
"That's good."
Ji Xuan sneered, clenched her fists, her face gloomy, and her eyes flashed with viciousness.
"Damn bitch!"
"Even if it's a corpse, I will skin it, tear its bones, whip its corpse and feed it to the wolves to appease my anger!"
After Lu Hanyang left the Princess's Mansion, the subordinates beside him couldn't help but ask.
"Sir, who do you think took away the assassin's body in the name of the princess?"
Lu Hanyang pursed his lips and uttered two words: "Prince."
The subordinate was stunned and confused: "What?"
Lu Hanyang said indifferently: "The person who took away the assassin's body was the princess."
"What?"
The subordinates were dumbfounded when they heard this.
"Sir, but didn't we find that person in the Princess's Mansion?"
Lu Hanyang glanced at her and asked, "What do you think of the princess?"
"what?"
The subordinate was confused by this question.
"This... I dare not make any comments." "If it were you, would you ask about the assassin's situation after waking up?"
The subordinate nodded: "Of course!"
"But did you find that the princess had asked questions about the assassin?"
The subordinate's facial expression froze: "This..."
Not really.
She only saw the princess leisurely and comfortably enjoying the service of the beauty.
Are you concerned about your own safety and the assassin's situation?
She really didn't see the slightest sign of fear on the princess's face.
It was as if the assassin was dead and would not endanger him, and he looked as if he could rest easy.
But...how did the princess know that the assassin committed suicide out of fear of punishment?
My lord, you only just found out about this. If the princess hadn't sent someone to pick him up, how would she know that the assassin was dead?
When she was confronting the adults just now, she was just angry that someone was impersonating her, but she did not ask about the case or the identity of the assassin. Instead, she looked anxious to get rid of the person.
This... is a little unreasonable.
The more the subordinate thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. After hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but say it out loud.
"My Lord, this... doesn't mean anything. After all, the princess knew that the assassin had been caught and would definitely die. Why would she bother asking about the assassin's fate?"
"And didn't the princess say that someone else took the assassin away in her name?"
Lu Hanyang said, "The assassin is dead and nothing can be learned from him. What's the point of taking him away? The princess's claim of killing someone to silence him doesn't make sense at all."
Subordinate: That’s right.
"unless……"
Lu Hanyang lowered his eyes slightly, not knowing what he was thinking about, his cold eyes flashing with a chill.
Seeing the slight change in the master's expression, the subordinate became more respectful and asked, "What did you think of, sir?"
Lu Hanyang frowned, thought for a moment, and shook his head.
"nothing."
Seeing that the Lord did not want to talk, the subordinate did not dare to ask more.
only……
"Then, sir, if the assassin is missing, will His Majesty..." blame you?
Lu Hanyang recalled the strange attitude of His Majesty in the palace, his face paused slightly, and he spoke slowly.
"Since the assassin has committed suicide out of fear of punishment, and His Majesty has ordered me to close the case, this case... is up to you to handle."
The subordinate understood: "Yes, sir!"
