Chapter 1201 [The Glory of Tang Dynasty 28]
The Crown Princess secretly thought that Murong Linzhi seemed to have noticed her secret, which made her feel fearful and uneasy. In order to protect her position and secrets, the Crown Princess decided to kill Murong Linzhi to prevent future troubles.
At the same time, Murong Linzhi, who had no idea about it, was concentrating on boiling medicine in the kitchen. While stirring the herbs in the medicine pot, she repeatedly thought about a series of recent events. After careful consideration, Murong Linzhi gradually came up with a guess: the child the Crown Princess was carrying was probably not the Crown Prince's flesh and blood, but Shi Siming's!
The more Murong Linzhi thought about it, the more he felt that this guess was reasonable, so much so that he was completely immersed in his own thoughts and was completely unaware of his surroundings. At this moment, a figure quietly opened the door and tiptoed behind Murong Linzhi. Murong Linzhi, who was unprepared, suddenly felt a sharp pain, and then his eyes went black and he lost consciousness.
When Murong Linzhi woke up again, she found herself in a moving carriage with her hands tied tightly behind her. Although she was filled with fear, Murong Linzhi tried to calm herself down. She looked around and found that the windows of the carriage were sealed and there was no way to escape.
However, Murong Linzhi did not give up. She began to secretly think about how to untie the rope. After some exploration, she finally found a way and successfully untied the rope that bound her hands.
At this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped. Murong Linzhi's heart tightened, she knew that her situation might become more dangerous. Sure enough, two ferocious killers opened the curtain of the carriage and stared at Murong Linzhi viciously, obviously coming to take her life.
Murong Linzhi was not afraid at all. She quickly took out a packet of powder from her bosom and sprinkled it on the face of one of the killers while he was not paying attention. The killer was caught off guard and was blinded by the powder, wailing in pain.
Murong Linzhi took the opportunity to jump off the carriage and ran forward desperately. However, the other killer reacted very quickly and chased after him, waving the long knife in the air, constantly threatening Murong Linzhi's life.
In the fierce chase, Murong Linzhi's arm was unfortunately cut by the killer's long knife, and blood immediately stained her sleeves red. But she endured the severe pain and continued to run desperately. Seeing that the killer was about to catch up with her, Murong Linzhi suddenly came up with a plan. She turned around and sprinkled all the remaining powder on the killer.
The powder spread in the air, and the killer was unable to dodge. He was choked by the powder and kept coughing. His eyes were also irritated and he couldn't open them. Murong Linzhi took the opportunity to speed up his pace and finally succeeded in getting rid of the killer and disappeared into the jungle in the wilderness.
Murong Linzhi's arm felt like it was being bitten by millions of ants. The pain was unbearable. She endured the pain and ran all the way, finally running to a farmhouse in the forest.
She stumbled into the yard and saw two busy farmers. Murong Linzhi didn't have time to think about it. She quickly took out her jade pendant from her arms and handed it to one of the farmers, saying breathlessly: "Quick... take this jade pendant to the Jianning Palace for help, tell them I'm here..." Before she finished speaking, her eyes went dark and she fainted on the ground.
At this time, in the Jianning Palace, Li Neng was extremely worried because of Lin Zhi's disappearance. He paced anxiously in the palace, constantly urging the servants to go out and look for Lin Zhi.
"Everyone, go out and look for her! No one can come back if the princess is not found!" Li Neng roared.
Seeing this, the servants did not dare to delay in the slightest and scattered in all directions to look for Murong Linzhi's whereabouts.
At the same time, in the Glazed Pavilion, Zi Han was reporting Murong Linzhi's situation to Cui Caiping.
"Master, you asked me to keep an eye on Princess Jianning Murong Linzhi. As expected, she was assassinated by the Crown Princess. Fortunately, Qiqi discovered her in time and rescued her." Zi Han said.
"The Crown Princess finally couldn't hold back and wanted to take action against Lin Zhi." Cui Caiping sneered, "But this is also within my expectations. By the way, have you sent someone to keep an eye on Shen Zhenzhu? The Crown Princess knows that Shen Zhenzhu has a good relationship with Murong Linzhi, and she probably won't let her go."
"Yes, Zixuan has always been there." Zi Han replied.
"Well, that's good." Cui Caiping nodded.
"Master, I don't quite understand why you wanted to save the Shen family first, and now you are going to save Murong Linzhi and protect Shen Zhenzhu. Why is that?" Zi Han asked puzzledly.
"Just think of it as a good deed I did every day," said Cui Caiping.
……
When Crown Princess Zhang learned that Lin Zhi had escaped, her anger was instantly ignited. She roared in rage, "This Lin Zhi, he actually dared to escape!" Her voice echoed in the palace, making people shudder.
Zhang was well aware of the close relationship between Lin Zhi and Zhenzhu. She was worried that Zhenzhu would learn her secret, so she ordered her men to deal with Zhenzhu without hesitation and not to show any mercy.
At the same time, Zhenzhu was also worried about Lin Zhi's disappearance. She anxiously asked around about Lin Zhi's whereabouts, feeling uneasy. At this moment, Lin Zhi's maid Xuancao hurried to the Guangping Palace and told Zhenzhu an important clue.
Xuancao said that before Lin Zhi disappeared, she had received a letter about Shen An's whereabouts. She was extremely worried and immediately rushed to a teahouse called Xiangmingju.
Upon hearing this news, Zhenzhu's heart tightened. She felt that Lin Zhi's disappearance must be related to An'er's whereabouts. Without any hesitation, Zhenzhu decided to go to Xiangmingju immediately to find out.
She brought Hongrui and Xuancao and hurried to Xiangmingju. As soon as she entered the teahouse, Zhenzhu felt a strange atmosphere, but she didn't think much about it and went upstairs directly.
In an attic upstairs, Zhenzhu was surprised to find a missing person notice. When she saw the portrait on the notice, she was stunned - it was Shen An!
Countless questions flashed through Pearl's mind. Why did An'er's missing person notice appear here? Just as she was lost in thought, a faint fragrance quietly floated into the room.
Pearl suddenly realized that something was wrong, but it was too late. She only felt dizzy, her body gradually lost support, and finally she fainted on the ground.
Suddenly two figures appeared in the room, one was Aqina and the other was He Lingyi. It turned out that Aqina had always believed that it was Zhenzhu who killed Dongzebu, so she was full of hatred for Zhenzhu and wanted to seek revenge on her.
After some searching, Aqina finally found He Lingyi and asked her for cooperation. The two had their own ulterior motives and purposes, but they finally reached a consensus.
Achina looked at the unconscious Pearl with a sneer on her face. She took out a pill from her bosom and stuffed it into Pearl's mouth without hesitation. This pill was a chronic poison that would cause Pearl to die slowly in pain.
Achina decided to take Pearl to Dongzebu's grave and let her suffer there. She wanted to make Pearl pay for what she had done.
Just as the two were discussing how to torture Zhenzhu, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and it turned out that Hongrui, who had just left, walked in. As soon as Hongrui entered the room, she saw Zhenzhu fainted on the ground. She was extremely anxious and hurried forward to save Zhenzhu.
However, He Lingyi blocked Hongrui's way. Although Hongrui was anxious, her skills were far inferior to He Lingyi's, and she was no match for her at all. He Lingyi raised her sword and cut Hongrui's throat with one sword. Blood spurted out like a fountain, splashing all over Zhenzhu's face.
Seeing this, Achina nodded with satisfaction, and then called the people she hired to come in. They quickly put the pearls into a box that had been prepared long ago, and carried the box out of the room.
In the lobby, Li Ruo and An Qingxu were drinking tea leisurely. Li Ruo accidentally saw a group of people carrying a box out, and she thought it was a bit strange, but she didn't think much about it and continued to chat and laugh with An Qingxu.
