Chapter 6: House Arrest and the Real Murderer (3)
At night, Yinyin couldn't fall asleep, so she went to the pavilion in the garden and sat down to think. A figure slowly approached...
"Can't sleep?"
A familiar and somewhat cold voice interrupted Yin Yin's thoughts. She looked back and saw Zhou Cheng appearing in her garden. She glanced at Zhou Cheng and then turned her head back to continue thinking, because she felt annoyed when she thought that the incident was caused by him!
Seeing Yin Yin's silence, Zhou Cheng was a little angry. He strode forward and sat down. Yin Yin chose to continue to ignore him because she felt that she had become like this because of her relationship with Zhou Cheng...
"Where is Ru Ting?" Zhou Cheng suddenly asked!
"How should I know?" Yin Yin said naturally!
"You haven't lost your memory at all, right?" Zhou Cheng said!
Yinyin felt a little guilty. She didn't have amnesia, so why did they say she did? But she was indeed the owner of this body now, so even if she said she had amnesia, it was out of helplessness...
"I remember you once said that if Ru Ting and I got married, you would do whatever it takes to break us up. Now your words have finally come true— "
There was something behind his words, and his expression was very cold and stiff...
Yin Yin was speechless again.
Oh my God, Zhang Yinyin, oh Zhang Yinyin, what on earth have you done before?
"...I've said before that my feelings for you are just brother and sister. I only love Ru Ting. I'm very sorry for hurting you, but I've tried my best to make it up to you. Why are you still unwilling to let Ru Ting go?"
Zhou Cheng said helplessly!
Zhou Cheng loves Ru Ting? This surprised Yin Yin a little, but: "I don't know what you are talking about!"
Yinyin understood Zhou Cheng's meaning very well. It seemed that she had kidnapped Ru Ting? She was really innocent!
"...Do you really have to make this a big deal?"
Seeing Yin Yin's self-righteous attitude, Zhou Cheng finally lost his temper and stood up angrily, slamming the table!
"I told you I don't know, what else do you want me to say?"
Yinyin is naturally stubborn. The harder you try to deal with her, the more stubborn she will become! Why would you admit to something you didn't do? Funny!
"you--"
Zhou Cheng suddenly wanted to hit someone, but when he saw Yin Yin looking like she was willing to be beaten, he couldn't bring himself to do it?
"Fight? Why not?"
Seeing Zhou Cheng raising his hand, Yin Yin's attitude became even tougher. Although her expression was stubborn, her eyes still seemed so sad!
"...This is the last time. I will find Ru Ting. Then we will both be even. No matter how sorry I have been to you, it will be enough to repay you——"
He put down his hand, turned around, left a word and left without looking back!
Leaving Yin Yin alone.
It’s late at night…
Yinyin was unable to sleep or eat because of Ruting's matter. If she hadn't been dragged into this, perhaps this wouldn't have happened. So in order to find the real murderer, Yinyin asked Xinxin for help, and Xinxin naturally believed in her and agreed...
In order to find the real murderer, of course, they must first find Ziheng and confront him face to face! So Yinyin escaped from the palace at night with the help of Xinxin...
After several twists and turns, she finally figured out the location of the East Hall. There were a lot of guards at the entrance of the East Hall. She circled around the East Hall for a long time. Finally, Yinyin had no choice but to climb over the wall. How did she climb? Of course, she found a bunch of tools to smash things...
After a lot of effort, she finally climbed over the wall. She fell and hurt her butt. She rubbed her butt and crawled into the bushes. The patrolling guards were always walking around so that Yin Yin had no chance to enter the house.
So she waited and waited, and drank a lot of cold wind, and finally when the guards were changing shifts, Yinyin took the opportunity to sneak into the house, looked around, and finally found Ziheng's room, but it seemed that someone arrived before her?
There were voices coming from the room.
"I just received a letter from my father. His Majesty the King of Zhao already knows about you, so he sent my father to see the King of Zhou—" It sounds like Wei'er?
"…It's faster than I thought!"
Although he had known for a long time that his father would be furious if he knew that he was under house arrest, it seemed that he knew about it much earlier than he thought? This made Zhao Ziheng feel puzzled!
"What should we do? Father must have come here to save you, but if King Zhou continues to keep you under house arrest on the grounds that he can't find the Crown Princess, the alliance between the two countries may be destroyed. At that time, war will surely break out, involving many innocent people--" Wei'er considered the consequences!
Yinyin was a little shocked. She had never thought that a war would happen. If that were the case, a country would be destroyed, the people would suffer, and the common people would have nowhere to live...
"In terms of strength, we are on par with the Zhou Kingdom. If we really clash head-on, there will be countless casualties and the people will suffer. If we want to stop it, we must find the criminal who kidnapped the Crown Princess as soon as possible--"
Ziheng also knows the seriousness of the matter and cannot afford to be negligent!
"The Zhou Kingdom has sent many officers and soldiers to search, but they still can't find any clues. Even if we continue to search, there may not be any results. Can we just watch the war between the two countries break out?" Wei'er said!
"If the Crown Princess cannot be found, I will have to clear myself of suspicion first. Now that I am under house arrest, I can't do anything even if I want to investigate. I can only wait for Lord Lin to arrive--" Ziheng sighed!
Is there really no other solution? Can we just watch the two countries go to war and cause the innocent people to lose their homes?
Although Wei Er was allowed to stay, she couldn't stay for long. After chatting for a while, Wei Er was taken away...
Yinyin, who had been hiding outside the window, heard their conversation and didn't know whether to go in or not. But if she wanted to find out the truth, she had to go in, so Yinyin climbed up the window and entered the room...
Ziheng was surprised at first, but soon calmed down!
"I wonder why the princess came to visit so late at night?"
Ziheng was very curious about Yinyin's behavior. She didn't come in through the main door, but climbed in through the window?
"Stop talking nonsense, I'm here to ask you a few questions!"
Without hesitation, he sat down at the table as soon as he entered the room, took out a pen and paper...
"Oh? Then what does the princess want to ask?"
Ziheng didn't feel unhappy at all, but was very cooperative...
"First of all, did you kidnap the Crown Princess?"
Yinyin asked about the topic right away.
"of course not!"
"So where were you when the Crown Princess kidnapped you?"
"By the river!"
Ziheng answered obediently. He was not being obedient, but was surprised by Yinyin's style!
"Can anyone prove it?"
"Two princes of your country!"
"What is your relationship with the Crown Princess?"
"They should be considered siblings. She is the cousin of my future concubine!"
Yin Yin wrote down their conversation one by one.
After all the records were completed, Yinyin handed the records to Ziheng...
