Chapter 997: Desperate for Yun Yurou

Hearing this, the secret guard's face suddenly showed a trace of remorse and guilt.

"Replying to the princess, it's all due to the incompetence of my subordinates. Today, I lost sight of Princess Hongmeng, and I didn't even get a clear look at that mysterious man's face."

"But I went to all the places where Princess Hongmeng might go. Although I didn't find anyone, I found this thing and asked the princess to take a look——"

As the secret guard spoke, he took out a finely crafted tassel pendant from his arms and handed it to Nan Wanyan.

Nan Wanyan took it and took a closer look, her face suddenly turned cold.

This tassel pendant was not very common and was worn with shell beads. As far as she knew, the only one wearing this in the palace was Hongling Princess Lu Shengsheng!
Moreover, Lu Shengsheng liked these small decorations and would wear several of them on weekdays. Today, there were many people and she didn't take a close look to see if there was anything missing from Lu Shengsheng's body.

Nan Wan Yandai frowned and held the tassel pendant in her hand, feeling cold in her heart.

The poison that poisoned his uncle was the same as the poison that poisoned Gu Mohan today. Today's assassination must have been the work of a senior executive.

She thought that the secret guard could see the mysterious person, and maybe he could target a senior executive's family, but she didn't expect that the person he was targeting was Lu Shengsheng.

But if Lu Shengsheng is a mysterious person, what role does she play in this?
There are many involved and careful planning. What do the executives want to do after spending so much effort?
He once disrupted the political affairs of Xiye, and now he came to disrupt Daxia again. Could it be that he did not hesitate to do this just for Yun Yurou?

And if Lu Shengsheng is really a bad person, she is so docile and gentle on weekdays, which shows that this person is quite deep.

Would a man with such a rich family fall in love with the playboy Cheng Shuyuan?

For a time, many complex clues swirled in Nan Wanyan's mind. She put away the tassel pendant and said calmly: "I understand, please step back first."

"Yes!" The secret guard left expressionlessly and soon disappeared from Nan Wanyan's sight.

Nan Wanyan got into the carriage with deep thought.

The more she thought about it, the more complicated it became. She wanted to find out what Lu Shengsheng was and wanted to arrange for Mo Yan to do something.

So she opened the curtain and said, "Mo Yan, come up here, I have something to tell you..."

As a result, before she finished speaking, Nan Wanyan saw a figure dressed in bright yellow and directly squeezed into the carriage.

She took a closer look and saw Gu Mohan looking at her innocently and tenderly, his long and narrow eyebrows outline a beautiful arc.

Before Nan Wanyan could say anything, Gu Mohan knocked on the car door and said on his own initiative, "Let's set off."

Mo Yan didn't talk at all, and didn't even reply to Nan Wanyan's words. The coachman hesitated, and Yun Heng immediately glared at him, "The emperor has already spoken, why don't you leave quickly?"

The coachman did not dare to refute, so he could only drive on the road immediately.

Nan Wanyan frowned and looked out the window angrily, only to see Mo Yan stuck in place like a piece of wood. He was beaten to the spot by Gu Mohan and didn't get into the car at all.

Next to him, Yun Heng waved his hands aggrievedly, as if it was "none of his business."

I also knew that Gu Mohan must have used some "inhuman" method to render these two guys unable to fight back.

It was annoying. She wanted to get rid of Gu Mohan, but he followed her everywhere.

Nan Wanyan glared at Gu Mohan impatiently, and her tone was a bit sarcastic, "Gu Mohan, I only thought you were overbearing in the past. Two years later, how come you have made no progress at all, and have actually regressed."

"Is it interesting to act like a scoundrel now?" Gu Mohan's handsome face was very calm, his tone was calm, and his eyes were locked on hers.

"I just want to stay with my wife, what's wrong with that?"

His look seemed to say that as long as she was there, he would never be absent, and he wouldn't care how sarcastic she was.

Nan Wanyan was tired and knew that no matter what she said, Gu Mohan would never get out of the car.

Then she couldn't let Mo Yan stare at Lu Shengsheng.

Gu Mohan seemed to have read through Nan Wanyan's thoughts, tapping the window lattice lightly with his long knuckles, and making a pleasant sound when his thin lips closed together.

"Wan Yan, you also saw today's poison. It's exactly the same as what I described to you. It's also the same thing I collected from the assassins in Xiye."

"Now that Lu Jiaojiao is dead, that Lu Shengsheng may seem to have problems, but don't you think that everything happened too smoothly?"

"If Lu Shengsheng is really so meticulous, how could he leave his belongings in the same place and wait for your people to discover them? This matter may involve something deeper."

Nan Wanyan came to his senses in a daze and stared at him with some displeasure, "You eavesdropped on my conversation?"

Gu Mohan's dark eyes were filled with a smile and he was noncommittal, which made him look even more sultry and handsome.

"I just overheard it openly while taking a walk. How can it be considered eavesdropping?"

He did hear what she said to her secret guard, but it was not eavesdropping.

At this moment, Nan Wanyan didn't want to argue with him anymore. After all, this matter also involved Gu Mohan. Even if she didn't tell him, he would probably send someone to investigate sooner or later.

She turned her head and looked out the window again, her eyes full of intriguing color.

"It makes sense. Maybe they also knew that I was investigating the mysterious person and deliberately left Lu Shengsheng's belongings behind. They deliberately wanted to provoke internal fighting among the royal family and asked me to deal with Lu Shengsheng so that they could reap the benefits."

"This person must have planned it in advance, and his ultimate goal is probably to make me feel uncomfortable."

Saying this, Nan Wanyan's mind suddenly flashed across the executive family's expressions of hatred towards her, as well as the miserable and painful appearance of her uncle before his death.

Nan Wanyan suddenly clenched her fingers, and a layer of anger seemed to linger all over her body.

Gu Mohan just stared at her for a moment, feeling suddenly in a trance.

It seemed like he hadn't been alone with her like this for a long time, and she was still bright and dazzling.

But she seemed to have more burdens and responsibilities on her body, which made him feel distressed.

"Do you suspect that these are all the work of senior executives?"

Nan Wanyan's eyes deepened, and she looked into Gu Mohan's narrow eyes. She sneered and asked, "Don't you doubt it?"

"If all of us candidates for the crown prince die, wouldn't it just make room for Yun Yurou, who wants to be the princess of Daxia..."
