"Who discovered it?"
“Xuan Shijiu is skilled in ventriloquism and can produce the sounds of a hundred birds. These days, he is in charge of monitoring the Third Princess, and he has gradually discovered a pattern in the sounds of that little cat, but what it corresponds to remains to be verified.”
It's already quite remarkable that this was discovered in just a few days.
"Once you've found the key, there's no need to worry about these things. Aren't there people right here who know this method?"
"Does Your Highness mean to arrest that old nanny and torture her severely?"
"Let's wipe out all those stray cats in one fell swoop. I want to see how many capable people King Li has left!"
"Yes!"
Hai Yu, upon receiving the order, naturally went to handle the matter quickly. He Lingyi sighed inwardly at the Crown Prince's swift and decisive methods. He knew when to hide and when to strike, leaving no room for the other party to take advantage. He was truly formidable.
Soon, news arrived.
Haiyu naturally succeeded. The old nanny, Tuanzi Cat, and all the stray cats were captured, and all the palace servants who had participated in raising and caring for Tuanzi Cat were imprisoned.
Some shouted that they were innocent, while others were baffled.
When the soldiers who were arresting the princess headed towards her palace, they found it deserted.
"Damn it! She got away?!"
Hai Yu slammed his fist on the table, then turned around and gave the order.
"Block all routes down the mountain. They may escape, but they can't hide. Deploy all the Xuanjia Army and bring them back alive."
"Yes."
From day to night, the Third Princess remained hidden underground.
Hearing the various footsteps coming and going above her, her face turned extremely pale. She wondered why they had suddenly arrested her when she hadn't shown any weakness in any way.
Fortunately, she ran fast and hid in the secret room early on, otherwise she would have ended up like the old woman.
The dark room was well-ventilated, but there was little food or water. She could only stay for a day or two before she had to leave. But with such a big commotion upstairs, how could she leave quietly?
Skynet is restored, sparse but not leaking.
Haiyu blocked the surrounding routes down the mountain and searched for a day and a night without finding any trace. He then turned his attention to the palace.
Since the person hadn't come down the mountain, they must be hiding in the palace. So they started searching the palace like they were digging up the ground, even resorting to using smoke. Finally, they found the Third Princess hiding in an inconspicuous corner and smoked her out.
"Cough cough, cough cough..."
Seeing the Third Princess, who was covered in soot and dirt, finally appear, Hai Yu felt much relieved. Then, he sneered and mocked her.
"Third Princess, you've really made me search for you quite a bit. Why did you hide so deep if you had nothing to do?"
The Third Princess's eyes revealed a hint of ruthlessness, and she was no longer as innocent and carefree as before.
"Enough with the nonsense, kill me or torture me, it's up to you!"
She was not a spineless person; otherwise, she would not have been loyal to King Li for so many years. Therefore, even if she did not know whether the old woman had confessed, she would never give in!
Hai Yu rolled his eyes so hard they almost reached the sky. He had wasted so much of his time and almost ruined the reputation of the Eastern Palace!
Therefore, he didn't hold back at all, grabbing her clothes and tying her up. After tearing off the human skin mask that she had disguised herself with from her scalp, a somewhat old and unfamiliar face appeared in front of everyone, surprising the soldiers who had come with him to arrest her.
This... the Third Princess was actually an imposter?
"Tsk tsk, so old! Don't you feel disgusted with yourself for pretending to be young all the time?"
Haiyu deliberately said things to provoke her, and the Third Princess's lips twitched slightly.
She could hardly remember how long it had been since her face had seen the light of day. She reached out and touched her cheeks, which were unusually pale from years of wearing a human skin mask. A hint of annoyance flashed across her face, but soon she hardened her heart and prepared to bite her tongue and commit suicide!
The next moment, Haiyu grabbed his chin and pulled hard, dislocating his shoulder.
"You think you can die easily in my hands? Dream on! If you don't tell the truth, I'll make you regret being born!"
In short, his words sent chills down the spine of the Third Princess.
She didn't know kung fu, so she couldn't escape. Now she couldn't even die, and for a moment she fell into despair.
The night grew deeper, and with the moon shining brightly, the starry sky was particularly clear tonight.
He Lingyi tossed and turned, unable to sleep. The Crown Prince lay quietly beside her, letting her toss and turn. After a long time, just when he thought He Lingyi had fallen asleep, he heard her suddenly speak and ask in a low voice.
"Is Your Highness asleep?"
"No."
Upon hearing this, He Lingyi sat up abruptly, the blanket slipped off, and the Crown Prince, seeing that she was so incapable of taking care of herself, sighed inwardly and reached out to take the outer garment beside him and drape it over her.
"It's still winter, don't catch a cold."
"There's an underfloor heating system in the house, so I'm not cold. Your Highness, what do you think is the relationship between the Third Princess and Prince Li?"
"You tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep, just thinking about this?"
"if not?"
The Crown Prince sighed and smiled with a hint of helplessness. "I used to think you were very composed and methodical in your words and actions, so I thought you were very calm and collected."
"Being able to keep one's composure is one thing, but being curious is another. Doesn't Your Highness care at all?"
Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince sat up straight and then calmly said...
"Perhaps before dawn, Haiyu will have the results of the trial. It will only take a few hours, so there's no need to worry about it."
That's what they say, but I'm really curious.
"Want to watch the trial?"
"Is it alright?" He Lingyi's eyes lit up. The Crown Prince noticed her unusual expression and softened his tone, saying, "Why not? But aren't you afraid of bloodshed?"
"Blood? What's there to be afraid of? It's not like I haven't seen it before!"
She had experienced things far more terrifying than this, so what was a little blood? Rather than tossing and turning here, she might as well go and see. Seeing her so excited, the Crown Prince didn't want to sleep anymore, so he simply pulled her up and said.
"Let's go. Since you're not afraid, I'll take you to see it."
"it is good!"
Soon, the movements inside the room woke up Xingluo and the others who were keeping watch outside. When they heard that the Crown Prince and Crown Princess were going to the interrogation site in person, they were stunned for a moment, but quickly helped them get dressed and ready.
"It's cold outside, so please take this hand warmer, Your Highness."
"No need, I'll just hold it."
Before Xingluo could even hand over the hand warmer, the poor hand warmer had already become useless. He Lingyi's hands were slender and delicate, and when the Crown Prince grabbed them, not a breath of wind could get through.
The couple has been married for a month now.
He Lingyi never imagined that the first time the couple walked hand in hand like this was to go to see the interrogation of the Third Princess. If outsiders knew, they would probably say that they were a pair of wolves and tigers!
