Chapter 323 Black Wolf Totem Assassin
Rui Wangfu, Study
Ji Huashang sat at the desk, her cold and beautiful face looked even paler due to the injury.
"My Lord, are you feeling better?"
Wei Nan sat on a chair at the lower left, wearing a blue shirt and looking introverted, with a heroic look between his brows. His jet-black hair was simply tied behind his head with a white jade hairpin.
The breath was calm, yet there was a hint of murderous intent.
Wei Nan, daughter of General Wei Ming, is known to all as a tiger mother with a dog daughter.
Wei Nan came from a family of generals and was a skilled martial artist. He had followed General Wei to the battlefield when he was young, so it was no surprise that he had a murderous aura about him.
She heard that Prince Rui had been assassinated, and she had visited him quite often in the past few days.
I'll take another look today when I have some free time.
Ji Huashang trusts Wei Nan, her best friend.
She was also relieved that she could come to see her.
The corner of his mouth curled up into a smile: "Thank you for your concern, I'm much better now."
"That's good."
Wei Nan nodded slightly, then frowned again as he remembered something, and looked at Ji Huashang.
"Does Your Majesty have any clues about the assassin?"
"Now the palace is saying that this was done by Feng Jun in order to help the Third Prince get rid of the marriage."
When mentioning this, Ji Huashang's face darkened slightly.
"Do you believe that this was done by my father?"
Wei Nan smiled and shook his head: "I don't believe it. Feng Jun is not a person who would hire a killer to kill his own daughter. Even if you are the prince, you would not make such a mistake."
"It's just that this is too coincidental. Although I believe you, others don't."
Ji Huashang's face darkened as he said in a cold voice, "I have already ordered people to investigate this matter. Those assassins came for me. I fought with them before I returned to the capital."
"Their moves are strange. Each of them has a black wolf totem on their right shoulder. They are the same group as the assassins who came this time."
"what?!"
Wei Nan stood up in shock: "Why haven't I heard about this from the prince? Are you okay, prince?"
Ji Huashang smiled bitterly: "If something happens to me, can I still stand here?" Wei Nan was slightly stunned and smiled awkwardly: "That's right."
"Does the prince have any clues about the assassin?"
Ji Huashang frowned, "There is one thing. I heard that a few decades ago, a group of horse bandits carrying black wolf totems appeared in the desert of the Western Regions. Their whereabouts were secretive and they specialized in intercepting passing merchants and travelers. They never missed a target and never left anyone alive."
"But that group of horse bandits disappeared after raging in the Western Desert for a few years. Some said they provoked an enemy and were destroyed, while others said they broke up due to an internal rebellion. There are many different opinions, and I don't know which one is true and which one is false."
Wei Nan was puzzled: "How could the prince get involved with such a group of villains?"
Logically speaking, the Western Regions are far away from the Great Wall and thousands of miles away from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. The prince has never been to the Western Regions, so how could he become enemies with those horse bandits?
Ji Huashang narrowed his eyes slightly: "I don't know either."
"But I have ordered people to investigate secretly. Those assassins are targeting me. As long as I am not dead, they will definitely send people to assassinate me again."
"As long as we follow the assassin's trail, I believe we can find the mastermind behind this."
Wei Nan was worried: "Then Your Majesty must be more cautious."
Ji Huashang nodded slightly.
The atmosphere was quiet. Wei Nan narrowed his eyes and looked up at Ji Huashang.
"My Lord, what are your plans regarding the Third Prince?"
Ji Huashang was slightly startled: "Xue'er..."
Wei Nan continued, "Now the palace is saying that the candidate for this marriage is the third prince. A few days ago, Lord Feng and Lord Rougui had a falling out over this matter. Your Majesty, due to the ancestral etiquette and pressure from the Grand Tutor, had no choice but to let the third prince marry."
"Now that the palace banquet is approaching, the Tibetan Rong envoys will definitely mention the marriage at the banquet. If His Majesty issues an order, then the Third Prince will..."
Wei Nan didn't say anything else, but everyone could hear what he said next.
Ji Huashang clenched his uninjured hand into a fist and his face was gloomy.
"If she agrees, Xue'er won't have to marry."
Wei Nan was slightly stunned: "She?"
