The foolish king's contract princess

Chapter 56 Assassination of Ye Yuchen

Nan Mengjie didn't go out, but the little snake started to act according to her instructions, visiting the two families who were secretly helping the Mu family one by one, either disrupting their business, or visiting to kill people when night fell. In short, this time it really happened It has reached the effect of killing chickens and waiting.

The days of marrying Li Ruosu were getting closer, but Nan Mengjie didn't intend to do anything, so Ye Feng could only follow Ye Yuchen's instructions.

On a night where the moon was dark and the wind was high, Night Breeze led people into Li Ruosu's yard quietly.Soon, the two groups fought. Seeing that the group protecting Li Ruosu was suppressed, Rat led others to help.The fight in the yard alarmed the servants of Li's residence, and all three groups of people withdrew from Li's residence.

Seeing that the mission failed, Night Breeze was afraid of being besieged, so he took the opportunity to leave.Just when the rat was about to leave, he found that one of the daggers protecting Li Ruosu looked familiar.

Nan Mengjie was afraid that someone would take advantage of Ye Yuchen again, so she stayed with Ye Yuchen at home during the day, even after receiving the signal from Twelve Jue Sha, she didn't go out immediately, but took advantage of Ye Yuchen's deep sleep at night. Went out of the Fifth Prince's Mansion to meet them.

"Master, you really did not make a mistake. Someone really wanted to get rid of Li Ruosu last night."

"Have you found any traces of these two groups of people?" Nan Mengjie asked Rat.

"The scene was chaotic at the time, and I didn't follow them. It's just that I found out that one of the people protecting Li Ruosu had a familiar dagger. It was very similar to the two daggers that the master brought back from Nanli Kingdom last time." .”

"Dagger?" Nan Mengjie frowned after hearing this.

"Yes, it does look very similar. But it was too late at that time, and they retreated in a hurry. I didn't see the details clearly, so I can't be completely sure," Rat really couldn't be sure that the man's dagger was the same as Nan Mengjie's. The two that came back were identical.

"I see, I will investigate this matter," Nan Mengjie already had doubts in her heart at this time.

That night, Ye Yuchen also received the news of Ye Feng's failure. What surprised him was that Nan Mengjie would protect Li Ruosu.Although he knew that Nan Mengjie might not deal with Li Ruosu to lure them out, but he didn't have to protect Li Ruosu. Could it be that Nan Mengjie really wanted Li Ruosu to marry him? The more Ye Yuchen thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. No sleepiness.

Nan Mengjie, who had returned to the Fifth Prince, had no intention of going to sleep, thinking about daggers all night long.

On the second day, after breakfast, Nan Mengjie avoided Ye Yuchen and summoned Xia Yu alone in the small garden.

"Xia Yu, do you think it would be good for the Fifth Prince to marry Li Ruosu?" Nan Mengjie asked Xia Yu while admiring the flowers.

"Madam, Minister of the Ministry of Justice belongs to the crown prince, and Li Ruosu is probably the Queen's stalker in the mansion. If she enters the mansion, it may be bad for Madam." Although Xia Yu was calm on the surface, he was still a little uneasy in his heart.

"The analysis is pretty reliable, so tell me, if someone assassinated Li Ruosu, who would it be?" Nan Mengjie turned to look at Xia Yu, intending to find the answer she wanted from his expression.

After listening to Nan Mengjie's words, Xia Yu's expression was a little abnormal for a short time. After quickly calming down, he said, "This subordinate doesn't know."

The strange look in Xia Yu's eyes did not escape Nan Mengjie's eyes. Nan Mengjie was sure that Xia Yu was definitely related to this matter. After getting the answer she wanted, Nan Mengjie stopped asking unnecessary questions and chatted for a while. I went to find Ye Yuchen.

"Little Yuchen, do you know that Xia Yu has those friends?" Nan Mengjie asked while playing backgammon with Ye Yuchen, pretending to be chatting.

"Xia Yu, he has a lot of friends," Ye Yuchen thought for a while and then reported the names of several guards.

"Then do you know that Xia Yu knows people with high martial arts skills?" Nan Mengjie continued to trick Ye Yuchen.

"Xia Yu is very powerful, what's wrong? Is someone bullying my lady?" Ye Yuchen looked at Nan Mengjie nervously.

"No, I just want to know more about Xia Yu. After all, he has always been capable and loyal to you," Nan Mengjie looked at Ye Yuchen and smiled sincerely.

"Xia Yu has always been nice to me," Ye Yuchen pretended to be stupid and skipped Nan Mengjie's question.

Ye Yuchen knew that Nan Mengjie must have noticed something, that's why he talked to him.But according to his current situation, it is easy to get away with it.

Three days later, it was finally the day when Ye Yuchen married Li Ruosu as his side concubine, and everyone in the house was busy.

This time the fifth prince's marriage was not as bleak as before, and for the sake of the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, dozens of people attended the wedding.

The festive music sounded, the bride was ushered in, and when the couple was about to salute, all the people present felt sorry for Li Ruosu.Nan Mengjie who was also present also became the focus of everyone's attention, but Nan Mengjie's gaze was always on Ye Yuchen who was depressed.

Just when the three kowtows and nine bows were completed and the couple was sent into the bridal chamber, Ye Yuchen lost his temper, instead of leading the bride into the bridal chamber, he pouted, frowning and took Nan Mengjie's hand to let go of the sedan chair. Come.

The guests present all showed sarcasm when they saw Ye Yuchen's expression, but because of Nan Mengjie's presence, they didn't say any sarcasm.Just when Nan Mengjie coaxed Ye Yuchen to complete the wedding, the bride Li Ruosu suddenly took out a dagger from her sleeve and forced Ye Yuchen to stab him. This scene surprised all the guests present.

Seeing Li Ruosu's movement, Nan Mengjie pushed Ye Yuchen to the side and kicked at Li Ruosu's dagger with one foot. After the dagger fell, Li Ruosu suddenly lifted the hijab, picked up the nearby candlestick and threw it at Ye Yuchen, throwing it back. While saying: "My father said, as long as I kill you, I can leave the Fifth Prince's Mansion."

Nan Mengjie pulled Ye Yuchen to avoid the candlestick, but Li Ruosu ran out at this time, Xia Yu immediately chased after seeing this.

Just as the guests came back to their senses and whispered, and Ye Yuchen hid in Nan Mengjie's arms and shivered, Xia Yu brought in the unconscious Li Ruosu.

"Xia Yu, tie up this murderer who intends to assassinate the Fifth Prince and put him in the firewood room, and report to the officials tomorrow morning," Nan Mengjie ordered Xia Yu angrily after seeing Li Ruosu.

"Yes," after Xia Yu left, Nan Mengjie said a few polite words to the wedding guests and began to see them off.

During this period, Ye Yuchen kept his head down, holding Nan Mengjie's hand and refusing to let go.The two returned to Lanyue Pavilion, and Nan Mengjie brought Ye Yuchen a glass of water.

"My lady, why do they want to kill me?" Ye Yuchen looked at Nan Mengjie with tears in his eyes.

Seeing Ye Yuchen like this, Nan Mengjie felt very guilty. She gently touched Ye Yuchen's head and said, "Xiao Yuchen, don't worry, as long as I'm here, no one will ever hurt you again."
