Li Ying raised her head slightly, met Zhu Rongzhan's smile, then lowered her head in a submissive gesture: "The government investigates the case, I will cooperate naturally, I don't know what the case is?"

"The case of Tang Chun." Zhu Rongzhan stared at his expression closely: "Have you heard of the eldest son?"

Li Ying showed a look of surprise and confusion. He tilted his head, looking dazed and innocent: "Tang Chun, didn't he disappear more than ten years ago? What does it have to do with my Star Gate Temple?"

"Twelve years ago, Tang Chun escaped from the capital, and he fled to Xingmen Temple—" Zhu Rongzhan purposely elongated his voice, "—the direction."

He smiled softly: "Young master, be careful. That Tang Chun may have been hiding in your star gate for more than ten years. The eldest son lives alone in this remote suburb, and with such a bloody murderous assassin We have lived together day and night, and now we are still safe and sound, it is really God's blessing."

Li Ying seemed to be frightened by him, and her face turned even paler: "How could this be so? I only think that his whereabouts are unknown, did he escape here? Will he hide in the Star Gate Temple?"

Zhu Rongzhan glanced at him, and sneered at his timid appearance in his heart.

He said: "Yes or no, you can find out once you check it. I would like to ask the eldest son to call all the people in the courtyard to gather and check them one by one."

Li Ying immediately said: "You should do your best."

He turned to the nanny at the side and ordered: "Take out the roster and contracts of the servants in view for His Highness to review."

The nurse bowed her head and said, "Yes."

She turned around and entered the courtyard, immediately followed by two police officers, watching and guarding.

Zhu Rongzhan ordered the left and right to prepare the seats: "I heard that the eldest son is sick and has been standing outside for a long time, so we should go in together, find a seat and have a good rest."

The nanny was not there, so Yan Yan and another Eastern Palace guard stepped forward, one supported Zhu Rongzhan, the other supported Li Ying, and led them into the temple.

Li Ying had no room to refuse, she could only say: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your understanding."

As Zhu Rongzhan walked forward, he looked back at his eyes: "What's wrong with the eldest son's eyes? Why are you always covering them with silk cloth?"

"Returning to Your Highness," Li Ying said slowly, "I'm born with a deficiency, and my eyes are different from ordinary people's. I can't see things for a long time."

"But can you still see?"

Li Ying exaggerated a little calmly: "I can barely see a little bit."

Zhu Rongzhan said with emotion: "Heaven is really jealous of talents."

This is a good word, but when it comes to Li Ying, it is more like a mockery.

"Your Highness is too famous," he said in panic, "What kind of talent is this?"

"Don't be humble, eldest son. You know that I want to marry Lin's daughter, but you dare to propose marriage to her. The person who competes with me is not a talent..." Zhu Rongzhan smiled lightly, seemingly calm, but said every word Suddenly, sharp-edged: "How to match?"

He snorted coldly in his heart, and thought: If Ben Gong is lame, you will be blind. What level is it that you are worthy to be in front of Ayu with the same physical deficiency as me?
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the backyard. Yan Yan reacted very quickly. He immediately drew out his saber and stood in front of Zhu Rongzhan. The left and right guards raised their crossbow arrows, aiming vigilantly at the direction of the noise.

The next second, a black shadow rushed out from the backyard. The figure was like a ghost. Suddenly, two crossbow arrows shot from behind passed over his head, and hit the two guards with arrows beside Zhu Rongzhan.

The other officers were shocked when they saw that many colleagues were chasing after the black figure, both of them were holding crossbow arrows, but they were worried about shooting each other—especially if the prince was injured, no one could bear the responsibility—then They dared not shoot again.

The defenses around the prince were suddenly empty, with only Yan Yan standing in front of him.

Yan Yan said angrily: "Put away the arrows and draw the sword!!"

Just as the arresters were frantically putting away their crossbow arrows and drawing their swords, the black shadow grabbed the gap and rushed towards Zhu Rongzhan.

Even though Yan Yan was not afraid of death, he only had one arm. As soon as he fought, his heart sank, knowing that even if he had both arms, he might not be his opponent, let alone only one arm left now.

Only at this moment did Zhu Rongzhan see clearly that the black shadow that was rushing was a white-haired old servant.His face was old, but his eyes were not cloudy, they were bright and sharp like lightning.

Could this be Tang Chun?

The old man kicked Yan Yan away, touched the back of his waist, and pulled out a crossbow arrow, aiming at Zhu Rongzhan at such a close distance.

Zhu Rongzhan's pupils constricted immediately, and the tip of the crossbow arrow seemed to be right in front of his eyes.

The old man sternly said: "Prince dog, die!"

Yan Yan struggled to get up, and was about to pounce on him and block it with his body——

But someone is faster than him.

"Your Highness!"

The eldest son of the Li family with bad eyesight pushed Zhu Rongzhan away vigorously.

With an arrow in his back, he fell to the ground without even making a scream.

Seeing that he missed a hit, the old man didn't want to fight, so he wanted to break through the encirclement and leave.But at this time, the police officers had already drawn their weapons, and seeing that the prince was almost assassinated, they were terrified in their hearts, and they all stepped forward bravely to try to take the crime and make meritorious service.

The old man was indeed outstanding in martial arts, and he was not afraid of death, but in the end he was no match for four hands, and was hacked to death at the door by a random sword.

He was covered in blood, and was almost chopped into meat paste by the officers and soldiers who were terrified.

Yan Yan broke out in a cold sweat, and threw himself in front of Zhu Rongzhan, his hands trembling with fright: "Your Highness! Are you alright!?"

Zhu Rongzhan was severely pushed to the ground by Li Ying, and fell hard, only now was Yan Yan helped him up.

He saw that the people arranged at the back door and side door heard the noise and rushed over one after another. He was furious immediately: "Idiot, keep guarding the exit for me!!"

After speaking, he looked at Li Ying who was lying on the ground, dying, her chest heaving violently.

If the old man was really Tang Chun, he would have lost his life and lost all clues.

But if he wasn't Tang Chun, jumping out at this time and using his life to divert his attention, the real Tang Chun might have escaped.

A dead Tang Chun will only make people feel sorry, but a Tang Chun who is still alive and has escaped is enough to arouse the fear of many people.

The more powerful the person, the more afraid of death, those bastards will definitely impeach him for being impulsive and ill-conceived!
Was Li Ying hiding on purpose, or was Tang Chun taking advantage of her inadvertently?

That old man's martial art is so high, and he is so close to Zhu Rongzhan, but he doesn't directly use fists or kicks, and he is not going to kidnap him to escape, so he insists on pulling out a crossbow?
Does he really want to kill him?
If Zhu Rongzhan really died in the Xingmen Temple, the emperor would be furious. Whether Li Ying knew it or not, the Li family would not be able to please him.

Could it be that the old man knows this and is protecting Mrs. Li by doing so extravagantly?
Then did he deliberately give Li Ying a chance to save her, and made a trick to get rid of the suspicion?

In the eyes of outsiders, Li Ying did a great job in saving her life regardless of life or death.Not only can Zhu Rongzhan not touch him anymore, but he has to ask for a reward for him.

If Li Ying really died, he was just a fringe eldest son of the Li family. It is not impossible to sacrifice it in exchange for the interests of the entire Li family.

He's going to be scolded, and let Mrs. Li take all the benefits?

Are you going to piss him off! ?
Zhu Rongzhan was furious and said, "Why don't you find a doctor soon!?"

In short, Li Ying must not die here!He will never, never, never owe Mrs. Li any favors!
