Chapter 462 Assassination failed
At the same time, Wangjiang Tower.
Linchuan knelt on the ground, his clothes soaked with sweat, half of his body was covered in blood, his head was lowered, but he still reported to Luo Jingshen word by word.
"Your Highness, I am incompetent and failed to kill the Night King and the Night Queen. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
Luo Jingshen frowned, his eyes full of astonishment, "What's going on? Didn't you bring two hundred death warriors with you, and then you sent a signal to add another three hundred?"
"With so many people, can't they even destroy the Night Palace?"
Lin Chuan pressed his chest, his face as pale as paper. He closed his eyes in grief, "Five hundred people, none of them came back alive."
Luo Jingshen's chest heaved, and he was furious when he heard this. He asked in disbelief: "What did you say? All the five hundred death warriors we sent out died except you?"
How is this possible?
Five hundred people couldn't even take down a small Night King's Mansion. Could it be that the Night King's Mansion was some dangerous place?
Luo Jingshen had a hundred big doubts in his mind.
Linchuan told him the whole story in detail.
"Your Highness, when the first few waves of our people entered, for some reason the Night Palace was on guard. They ambushed many powerful archers, and all two hundred people died under their arrows."
"The subordinates sent a signal to call another 300 people. They followed the instructions of His Highness and intended to burn down the Night Prince's Mansion. This time they succeeded. The servants in their mansion were also panicked when they saw this scene."
"Originally our people had already charged in, but at the critical moment, His Royal Highness Prince Chen arrived with the patrol camp. They fought with our people, giving Princess Ye a chance to catch her breath."
"That's not all. Later, the eldest lady from General Dingyuan's mansion also brought more than a hundred people to support us. Our people were killed or injured, and the losses were heavy."
Lin Chuan added, "But please rest assured, Your Highness, the Crown Prince, there is almost no one left alive by Princess Ye."
Luo Jingshen was almost going crazy. None of the five hundred people were left alive. It was obvious that it cost him a huge price to train so many death warriors.
I thought taking over the small Night King's Mansion would be an easy task, but in the end so many people died!
Luo Jingshen vaguely felt that something was wrong. He sent people to wipe out the Yewang Mansion. It was originally a very secret matter and only their people knew about it.
But how could Ji Yuntang have help?
Thinking of this, he was furious and asked, "Why would Luo Sinian and the eldest daughter of General Dingyuan's mansion interfere in this matter? How did they know about it?"
"Check, check for me, is there a traitor among our people? I have specially notified them. I must find this person."
Linchuan didn't hear clearly what Luo Jingshen said. He fell to the ground due to excessive blood loss. Luo Jingshen had someone carry him away to treat him.
Liu Qingya analyzed from the side: "Your Highness, I don't think there is necessarily a traitor."
"His Royal Highness Prince Chen has recently been in charge of the patrol camp. It is normal for him to patrol the streets every day. He might have just happened to walk near Prince Ye's Mansion and found our people, so he rushed in to help."
"And the eldest daughter of General Dingyuan's mansion has always had a good relationship with Princess Ye, so it is reasonable for her to come and help. It can only be said that the timing is too coincidental."
"Now that things have come to this, Your Highness may as well wait for another day. If there really is a traitor among our people, then tomorrow Princess Ye will definitely report it to the Golden Throne Hall and expose you, Your Highness."
Luo Jingshen: "..."
Luo Jingshen: "!!!"
He was shocked, "Mr. Liu, isn't this method too risky?"
If Ji Yuntang betrays him, will he be able to have good consequences?
Liu Qingya said: "Whether we take the risk or not, the matter has already been decided. If there is a traitor among our people and he tells Princess Ye that Your Highness wants to silence them, then Princess Ye will definitely know that it was Your Highness who sent people tonight. With her vengeful nature, how could she miss this opportunity to drag Your Highness into trouble?"
"But vice versa, if Princess Ye does not take action tomorrow and does not betray His Highness, then it means that the appearance of His Highness Prince Chen and the eldest lady of General Dingyuan's mansion is just a coincidence."
Luo Jingshen's heart was beating fast. He knew that although Liu Qingya's idea was risky, it did make sense.
There are so many people in his East Palace, and it is not easy to catch the traitor.
At least he couldn't do it within one night.
Luo Jing took a deep breath and suppressed his depressed mood.
"So Mr. Liu means to let Gu Jing wait and see?"
Liu Qingya shook his head. "No, Your Highness should take the initiative and make arrangements in advance to prevent accidents from happening after the matter is exposed, which would endanger Your Highness himself."
He already knew Luo Jingshen's true identity and what the other party was facing now.
Luo Jingshen's current situation is one where one wrong step will lead to another, and if he is not careful he will fall into an abyss from which there is no return.
Liu Qingya said: "Just now, the Linchuan Protector said that someone rescued him from the Night King's Mansion. If I am not mistaken, this person is most likely someone from the Nan Xiao King."
"Prince Nan Xiao is probably worried about your Highness, and has been sending people to monitor the movements of the Eastern Palace. What your Highness needs to do now is to take the initiative to find Prince Nan Xiao, confess this matter to him, and discuss it with the prince, and make plans for the worst outcome tomorrow."
"If Princess Ye really gave His Highness away, Your Highness could also insist that someone is framing you. As long as Your Highness's identity is not exposed, the matter will not develop to the most serious level."
"But for the sake of your highness's safety, you should communicate with Prince Nan Xiao. It would be best if he takes people to guard outside the palace. If things develop in the worst direction, the prince will be able to enter the palace in time to rescue your highness."
In this way, he would hold King Nan Xiao's thighs tightly and tie Luo Jingshen and King Nan Xiao together tightly.
Luo Jingshen knew that now that things had come to this, he had no choice but to do this!
Because he needs the support of King Nan Xiao.
"Okay, I'll listen to Mr. Liu."
Just when Luo Jingshen wanted to send someone to find King Nan Xiao, King Nan Xiao's people came to him on their own initiative.
It was the gale.
Luo Jingshen had seen him before. At this moment, he saw that the other person was wearing a shadow guard's nightgown, with his face and head wrapped up, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.
He hurriedly asked: "Did you save Linchuan just now?"
Ji Feng knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "To reply to Your Highness, it is me."
"But it was the Fourth Prince who arranged for you to come here?" Luo Jingshen asked again.
"That's right." Ji Feng finished speaking, and fearing that Luo Jingshen would be angry, he quickly explained: "The prince is also worried about the safety of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and he is not deliberately monitoring His Royal Highness."
