Lilia, who was suddenly attacked by an ambush, already knew in her heart that she should have been abandoned by the Red Sleeve Pavilion.
But the crisis of the situation did not allow him to think much about it.
Run!
As long as he escaped into the crowd, these killers would not dare to catch up with him, after all, this was the king’s capital.
With blood all over him, he ran as fast as he could towards the road not far away.
But just as he was about to escape through the cold alleyway into the crowd, an arm suddenly reached out beside him.
“Help ……”
Before he could even shout the word life, the palm of that hand instantly covered his mouth, dragging her beautiful arm, which had just touched the sunlight, back into the darkness.
“Oooooooooh!”
Lilia could not make any sound at all as her mouth was covered.
Her eyes were filled with tears of fear!
How she wished that someone would come to her rescue.
But it was all just a hope.
There was a flash of cold light and a bright, bloody light streaked across the sky.
Lilita felt like a deflated balloon, her life was draining away rapidly.
However, no matter how she struggled, that palm wanted to lock her in an iron grip, there was no chance to break free.
“Don’t be afraid, breathe deeply, you’ll be fine soon, breathe deeply!”
Hearing this familiar voice, Lilia’s pupils suddenly dilated several times, and her consciousness sank completely.
She didn’t even understand why this great prince’s handlers were coming to kill her!
……..
King Wanxiang’s palace.
As every morning before, Jiayuan I slowly opened his eyes.
Only I don’t know if it was because of the weather or because of his body, he only felt that his body didn’t have the same feeling of unrest that he had in the previous days.
There was also something blocking his chest first, making it extraordinarily hard for him to breathe.
And just as he was wondering, a soft murmur suddenly came from outside the bedchamber.
“Have you heard? A corpse has been found in our king’s capital, and it’s a terrible death.
Not only was there a dozen cuts on his body, but his neck was stabbed straight through.”
“I’ve heard about it too, and it seems that this deceased person is also the beloved of His Highness the Sixth Prince, right?”
“This is too arrogant, not only did he kill someone within Wandu, but he was also His Highness’s right-hand man.”
Jiayuan I was already in a bad mood because of his abnormal health, and at this moment, listening to these fly-like noises, his heart was even more annoyed.
“What’s going on outside?”
A gloomy voice showed his extraordinarily discontented mood.
A large group of maids under him immediately knelt down, and the chief chamberlain in front of him hurried to explain.
“Back to Your Majesty, there can only be a murder in the royal capital!”
Jiayuan I’s already displeased face suddenly became even more gloomy.
Murder at the foot of heaven?
This was undoubtedly provoking the authority of the Wanxiang Kingdom!
“Who is the deceased?”
Despite his anger, he asked in a suppressed, low voice.
“Evade me, the deceased is the Sixth Highness’ beloved, Lilia!”
“What?”
When Jiayuan I heard this name, his face suddenly turned gloomy, and his palm fell heavily on the armrest.
Today those miscreants dared to a*sa*sinate the prince’s beloved, tomorrow they would dare to a*sa*sinate the prince.
This matter must be dealt with seriously.
As his biting gaze swept across, a momentary fear lingered on the faces of the maids and guards kneeling in front of him, as if a large, sharp knife was being held to their necks.
“Tell the Black Eagle to find the murderer!
I want to see the head of the murderer within three days.”
A dull voice fell and a breeze lifted around the bedchamber as more than a dozen figures flashed past, scattering in all directions with the royal palace as the centre.
Jiayuan I also seemed to have coughed violently from his anger and fire, still unable to stop himself.
“Your Majesty ….”
Jiayuan I waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, and his eyes skimmed over the porcelain vase, and his brow could not help but frown.
