Chapter 125: Killing chickens as an example to monkeys
After finishing everything, Bai Wanrou took off her clothes and went to bed.
But she was lying on the floor, tossing and turning, unable to sleep at night.
Inexplicably, my mind recalled the scene of sleeping with Chen Ruzhi in the White House, and I couldn't help but have a faint blush on both sides of my cheeks.
Although she was extremely reluctant at the time, she was always on guard against Chen Ruzhi before she fell asleep.
But when she couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep, she felt very sweet.
I was surrounded by a great sense of security, and I slept all night long, feeling more comfortable than ever.
And Chen Ruzhi really kept his promise and didn't do anything to himself the whole night.
Of course, except for the part when she woke up and found herself being held lovingly in Chen Ruzhi's arms, there was nothing else to choose from.
Not knowing what the situation was like on the battlefield, Bai Wanrou couldn't help feeling worried in her heart.
Fortunately, everything is in place and I believe everything will be resolved soon.
She fell asleep peacefully.
In the middle of the night, there was a sudden noise outside the door, which seemed particularly harsh in the silent night.
Bai Wanrou suddenly woke up from her sleep. She stood up suddenly and looked at a black figure faintly coming through the door, with a look of astonishment in her eyes.
who is it?
Could it be an assassin sent by someone else to kill her?
For a moment, these questions arose in her heart.
Naturally, no one answered for her.
Soon, a sword was thrust out from the crack in the door, giving off a terrifying cold light.
Under the prying of the long sword, a gap gradually appeared in the originally closed door.
Seeing the gap getting wider and wider, a figure in black also entered the room.
Bai Wanrou's heartbeat was beating like a drum. She looked at the door, her mouth wide open, her eyes full of disbelief.
"Someone is coming! There is an assassin!" The next moment, she suddenly shouted loudly.
The sound was so loud that it broke the originally silent night sky.
The assassin outside the door was suddenly startled. He quickly glanced in both directions, then entered the room, raised the long sword in his hand, and rushed towards Bai Wanrou.
Seeing that the tip of the sword was about to pierce into Bai Wanrou's body, Bai Wanrou suddenly ducked to the side very quickly, and the sword missed the target.
The man in black didn't seem to expect that his attack would be in vain. His eyes suddenly became sharp and he turned around to attack Bai Wanrou again.
At this time, the door was suddenly broken open and someone rushed in.
Bai Wanrou's eyes swept away, and she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
I saw a dozen guards with swords surrounding the man in black, and Lin Yi walked in closely behind.
He first scanned Bai Wanrou's body and breathed a sigh of relief after finding no injuries.
"Get him!"
Following his order, the guards captured the man in black.
Seeing his heart tremble, a murderous intent flashed across his eyes.
Bai Wanrou raised her eyebrows, hurriedly walked over, and swiftly removed his chin.
A clear voice echoed in the room, and the screams of the man in black filled everyone's ears.
Immediately afterwards, a white thing fell out of his mouth.
Bai Wanrou glanced at it and realized that it was poison.
The assassin just wanted to commit suicide by swallowing poison!
If he is really allowed to die, there will be no survivors left for interrogation.
She immediately looked at Lin Yi, raised her chin towards the assassin, and said calmly: "Put him down and interrogate the person who ordered him to assassinate me first. If he doesn't tell, we will deal with him in public tomorrow."
Lin Yi heard this and nodded: "I obey, Princess!"
Afterwards, the guards escorted the killer and retreated.
Bai Wanrou was the only one left in the room. She thought of the shocking scene just now and felt a little scared.
With her own martial arts, there was no way she could defeat that killer.
If Lin Yi hadn't rushed in time just now,
If he doesn't, he may be killed by the killer's sword.
But what shocked her when she arrived was that at that critical moment of life and death, the first thing that came to her mind was Chen Ruzhi.
Does she still have Chen Ruzhi in her heart?
No! Impossible!
Bai Wanrou quickly rejected this idea in her heart.
She no longer loves him.
The face that popped into my mind just now in desperation was just an illusion.
Early the next morning, Bai Wanrou got up early.
After she finished washing, she called Lin Yi over.
In the room, she sat behind the desk, and Lin Yize stood opposite.
"Did the killer confess last night?" Bai Wanrou asked.
Hearing this, Lin Yi lowered his head, his face tightened, and he replied truthfully: "Report to the princess, no matter how we tortured her last night, he gritted his teeth and refused to speak."
Hearing his words, Bai Wanrou was not surprised at all.
The killer first wrote that he would commit suicide by swallowing poison. At first glance, he was a tough guy. qs
But it doesn't matter, since we can't know the person behind it, then execute the killer in front of that person.
Might as well kill the chicken and show it to the monkey!
"Take him down to the execution ground and execute him in public. In addition, it would be best to let the news out and attract as many people to watch." She said calmly.
Hearing her words, Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, and then he guessed that she might want to scare the monkeys, so he nodded: "Yes, I will do it now."
After he finished speaking, he walked out.
Bai Wanrou looked at his back, her expression suddenly became serious.
Could it be that the emperor sent someone to take action?
No, even if he wanted to attack the palace, he shouldn't send someone to assassinate him.
Then who should it be...
Of course she couldn't think of it.
Execution site.
Lin Yi had released the news early in the morning. At this time, the executioner was already surrounded by people on three levels inside and three outside.
They were noisy and undecided, and they all knew that the princess of Jian'an Palace was assassinated by an assassin last night.
Some people started talking about it.
"Who do you think is the person who assassinated the princess?"
"How do we know this? But the news that the princess executed the killer in public must have been known to the murderer behind it. He should be very anxious, right?"
Ordinary people like them naturally cannot guess the pros and cons involved.
But the group of dignitaries from various Kyoto families suddenly guessed Bai Wanrou's intention to execute the killer in public.
I just want to kill the chicken and show it to the monkey.
It seems that Princess Jian'an is not someone to be trifled with!
In Bai Mansion, Bai Qingting hurriedly walked to Bai Fengqi's room.
In the room, Bai Qingting's expression was extremely anxious: "Father, Wanrou came to assassinate me last night!"
Hearing this, Bai Fengqi's expression changed slightly, and a hint of worry flashed across his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a hint of deep meaning.
He was thinking about who the murderer might be behind the scenes.
But Bai Qingting was worried about Bai Wanrou's safety. He said, "Father, let's go to the palace to see Wanrou?"
Hearing this, Bai Fengqi had this intention, and he took this opportunity to inquire whether Chen Ruzhi had left any manpower for Wanrou.
"Okay." He nodded in agreement.
The two of them hurriedly walked towards the palace.
When they arrived at the door of the house, Bai Qingting saw Song Yinhua rushing over in a panic. When they met, there was worry in their eyes.
Song Yinhua said anxiously to Bai Qingting: "Mr. Bai, do you know if Wanrou is injured?"
Hearing this, Bai Qingting shook his head: "We'll find out after we go in and take a look."
So everyone walked in.
in the room.
After several people saw Bai Wanrou sitting there safe and sound, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, okay, Wanrou, you're okay!" Song Yinhua ran over
Protect Bai Wanrou's waist and said.
When Bai Wanrou saw this, a smile appeared on her face: "I'm fine, I was lucky enough to escape a disaster last night."
After saying that, she looked at Bai Qingting and Bai Fengqi: "Father, brother, are you here too?"
Bai Qingting nodded towards her: "Father and I are worried about your health, so we came to take a look."
Bai Wanrou nodded: "Come and sit."
After a few people sat down, Bai Fengqi's eyes with hidden meaning fell on Bai Wanrou: "Wanrou, you escaped a disaster last night, but the person the prince left for you saved you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Wanrou understood the meaning of his words.
She smiled and shook her head, thinking of an explanation: "It was the guards in the palace who took him down. I was almost scared to death last night. Why does my father only care about this and not Wanrou's body?"
Hearing this, a flash of embarrassment flashed across Bai Fengqi's face, and he could only smile and said: "You are my biological daughter, how could I not care about you? I just asked out of curiosity."
After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and said no more words.
But Bai Wanrou knew that he was not just out of curiosity, but also wanted to test herself.
Before leaving, Song Yinhua said nothing and refused to leave.
She hugged Bai Wanrou's waist and cried hard: "I won't leave, I want to stay with you..."
Bai Qingting also spoke up and tried to persuade her: "What Miss Song said makes sense. What if another assassin comes? My brother won't leave tonight and will stay with Wanrou."
Seeing this, Bai Wanrou couldn't refuse anymore.
After all, they are doing it for their own good.
"Then you can stay," she said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Song Yinhua almost jumped up with joy.
After the elder Bai Fengqi left, they finally let go.
Song Yinhua looked at Bai Qingting with a smile on his face.
She lightly hammered Bai Qingting's chest and said in a half-joking tone: "Young Master Bai is not exactly a pervert! I was still worried about Wanrou just now."
Hearing this, Bai Qingting's eyebrows raised. He raised his hand and subconsciously wanted to hit Song Yinhua, but he was stunned when he stretched out his hand in mid-air, and finally had to take it back in embarrassment.
"What are you talking about, Miss Song? Wanrou is my biological sister, how could I not care about her?"
"Why do the words change their taste as soon as they come into your mouth?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Song Yinhua's face flashed with anger: "What do you mean, Mr. Bai?"
"I was just joking with you just now, but you took it seriously and couldn't help but make trouble at all!"
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Bai Wanrou was about to break up the fight when she saw Lin Yi's figure appearing outside the door.
The corners of her lips curled up slightly, and she stretched out her hand to signal Lin Yi to come in.
When Bai Qingting and Song Yinhua saw Lin Yi come in, they both knew that he and Bai Wanrou must have something to discuss.
Therefore, they both retreated very wisely.
Bai Wanrou looked at Lin Yi and asked, "What's the matter?"
Hearing this, Lin Yi saluted her respectfully: "I'd better hand over the military power of the secret guards in the palace to the princess." This chapter has been completed!
