Chapter 48 The Prince is Missing (2)
As expected of someone close to the Regent, a cold look from him could make everyone tremble all over.
"Miss Chanjuan, we really don't know, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..." said a palace maid in a trembling voice.
"I don't know?" Chan Juan's face suddenly darkened. "What's the use of you servants? The prince has been missing for a day and a night and he hasn't been found yet! Humph, a bunch of trash, drag them out and beat them up!"
Chanjuan is someone close to the Regent. At the command of the Prince Regent, she is more useful than the Prince.
The group of guards who followed in came over immediately, dragged out all the palace maids, eunuchs and maids in the Prince's Palace, and beat them severely in the yard!
"Miss Chanjuan, please accept this..."
Nanny Jiang was very experienced. She rushed over, took out a fine bracelet, and quietly gave it to Chanjuan.
Chan Juan glanced down and sneered, "Madame Jiang's service to the prince is different. Such fine jadeite must be envied by all the ladies in the palace."
Nanny Jiang was stunned for a moment, then her old face turned pale, and she said, "Your servant, I am the prince's wet nurse, and I am treated very well by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."
Chan Juan frowned and kicked her away, "The prince is not yet of age, and the nurse should have been there to serve him, but she actually lost the prince, and her crime is even greater! Drag him away and beat him!"
She didn't sympathize with the useless prince, she just couldn't stand this group of dog slaves! They didn't distinguish between high and low!
Outside the Prince's Palace, screams were heard one after another, attracting many palace servants to watch.
"Tsk tsk, it's really these people from the Crown Prince's Palace. I didn't expect this day to come!"
"A slave is a slave. You deserve it for daring to climb over your master's head!"
"This time the regent was alarmed. The princess of Xuanwu country was assassinated in the palace a few days ago , and now the prince is missing. People are really panicking."
"If the prince is abducted by an enemy country and used to threaten our Qinglong Empire, I wonder if the regent will abandon the prince..."
"Shh! How dare you say such a thing? You're going to lose your head!"
“…”
In the Imperial Garden
"Your Highness, Princess Heqing was killed by a sharp weapon, but the two people around her were killed by these two leaves."
Qin Feng followed behind the Regent and showed him two slightly yellowed leaves.
Mu Zihan glanced at it indifferently, reached out and picked up one of the pieces, looking at it carefully.
"The fallen leaves killed people, sank into their flesh and blood, and shattered their bones, but there was not a single stain of blood. This was done by a master."
His voice was cold and indifferent, and it seemed that nothing could cause him to become emotional.
"Duanmu Lei can't possibly have such skills, he's only at level five." Qin Feng said pertinently, "But it's very likely that there are two murderers, otherwise it would be really weird to kill three spiritual masters silently in such a short time."
Mu Zihan pinched the leaf, frowning and remaining silent.
Qin Feng added: " The man who killed Princess Heqing used a rather clumsy method. He really looked like Duanmu Lei. If he could frame someone so skillfully, then the murderer must be an expert among experts!"
"Go check if there are any hidden weapon experts in Haojing recently."
Mu Zihan said indifferently that although he didn't care about Princess Heqing's death, he couldn't just ignore it since it happened in the palace.
What's more, Prince An is also investigating.
"Yes!" Qin Feng nodded seriously.
After walking a few steps, a guard came quickly and knelt in front of him.
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince has not been found yet!"
A hint of coldness flashed across Mu Zihan's eyes.
