Demon King and Concubine

Chapter 170 The Death of Cai Qian (5)
"The old concubine said that today the emperor summoned Miss Sun Caiqian of Cai Guogong's mansion to go to the palace to inquire, but Miss Cai said that she did not see that it was Miss Chen Si who pushed the princess off the cliff or the princess who pulled her. Miss Chen Si fell together and became a backstop."

"What's the problem?"

"The old concubine said that Ms. Cai's reaction at that time was very thought-provoking."

Jun Xiuran's eyes narrowed immediately, and he said, "Does the old concubine have anything else to say?"

"Nothing."

"Okay, the king knows, you go down first."

"Yes! This subordinate retire."

They were the only ones left in the study again, and they looked at each other thoughtfully.

In the days that followed, the courtroom continued to be noisy, but Duanmutian lived quite peacefully, and his third highness also lived a very healthy life, and his injury almost healed very quickly.

There was news from northern Xinjiang that the negotiations with Lian Yue went very smoothly, and they should be able to finish their journey back to Beijing soon.

And in the capital, the auction of Zhenbao Pavilion is finally about to start.

As night fell, Duanmutian stood by the window of her boudoir in the Izumo Pavilion, thinking about the auction that would start tomorrow, with a solemn expression on his face.

It was about Jun Xiuran, she had to be dignified.

At this moment, the back door of Duke Cai's mansion suddenly opened slowly, and someone came out cautiously.

"Sister Cheng, what's the matter with you asking me to meet so late?"

In the faint light coming from a distance, one could see that the person who slipped out from the back door of Cai Guogong's mansion was indeed Cai Qian, and in front of her, Cheng Mengxuan was always spotless, dignified and elegant, with a gentle smile on her face , smiling like a virgin.

Seeing her smile like this, Cai Qian suddenly felt a little cold for some reason.

"Sister Cheng, don't worry, I didn't say anything." She lowered her head and said softly.

Cheng Mengxuan continued to smile, and said: "Of course I know that you won't say anything, Sister Qian'er, after all, this is a lifelong matter for Sister Qian'er."

Cai Qian flinched inexplicably again, feeling that the weather tonight is extremely cold.

"Sister Cheng is joking, I never expected that His Highness the Third Highness would look at me more, it's just my little thought."

Cheng Mengxuan suddenly stepped forward to hold her hand, and said with a smile: "This is wrong. It's normal for any girl to like someone like my cousin. Don't worry, my aunt asked me to tell You, as long as you behave well, she will definitely make her cousin marry you."

Cai Qian was startled and subconsciously shook her hand away, then she was startled and at a loss, and said, "Sister Cheng, I really never thought about this, you don't need to do this, I...I don't care about anything. I won’t tell, no matter who asks, I don’t know anything.”

In the darkness, Cheng Mengxuan's eyes flickered for a moment, and said, "Sister Qian'er, what are you afraid of?"

"No! I didn't!" Cai Qian was startled suddenly, as if she had been stabbed in her heart or stepped on her tail. In fact, even she herself might not know why she felt particularly anxious tonight.

Cheng Mengxuan took another step towards her and said, "Can't you help but want to talk?"

"No no, I didn't..."

"Then why have you been avoiding me these days? If I hadn't come here to wait for you in person tonight, would you have continued to avoid me?"

"No... no, I just... It's just that Grandpa doesn't allow me to go out, and even sent someone to watch me."

She panicked as if she wanted to explain something, and she was a little incoherent, with a pale and bewildered expression. She looked up at Cheng Mengxuan, so she didn't notice the cold dagger drawn slowly from Cheng Mengxuan's sleeve, nor did she see it. The dagger was slowly approaching her.

The dagger was already close, and the target pointed directly at Cai Qian's stomach. When Cheng Mengxuan was about to stab it hard, at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared beside her, and then grabbed her wrist.

The crisp sound of "Dang" when the dagger fell to the ground made Cai Qian stunned for a moment, then slowly lowered her head to look, and saw the Sen Leng dagger lying at her feet, and also saw the figure that appeared suddenly at some time, and his The hand that was holding Cheng Mengxuan's wrist was stunned for a while before she finally woke up suddenly. She screamed in shock and fell to the ground with a "bang". She raised her head and looked at Cheng Mengxuan. Full of horror.

"Cheng...Cheng..."

She hesitated and couldn't speak, but Cheng Mengxuan suddenly turned her head to look at the person who appeared from nowhere in shock, and shouted: "Who are you?"

All of a sudden, the surrounding area was brightly lit, and more people came out of the darkness, and surrounded her in an instant, and the first person was Cai Guogong himself.

He coldly swept over the dagger that fell on the ground, looked at Cheng Mengxuan whose face changed suddenly, and said, "Miss Cheng, what do you want to do?"

Cheng Mengxuan's expression changed rapidly, and she suddenly pointed at the person holding her wrist, and said righteously: "My lord, I just made an appointment with Sister Qian'er here, and I want to discuss how to go to Zhenbao Pavilion together tomorrow. However, I didn’t expect this person to rush out suddenly with the intention of assassinating Sister Qian’er. Sister Qian’er fell to the ground in fright, and I wanted to go to rescue me but was also caught by this person. If you dare to act recklessly again, please ask your lord to capture this person quickly."

Ren is an old fox like Cai Guogong, and he couldn't help being a little dumbfounded when he heard such words at this moment.

It was clear that the stolen goods had already been stolen, yet she could still say such words righteously without changing her expression. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would really have believed her words.

Cai Guogong sneered immediately, and said: "Everyone in the world thinks that Miss Cheng is pure and intelligent, and the old man can't help but look at her with admiration today. You look at the skin and tender meat, but you don't expect that there is no meat at all, but all skin. The ability to open your eyes and tell nonsense is really first-class. The person who is arresting you at this moment is the old man's entourage. He is waiting here just to catch you and get the stolen goods. Otherwise, you really think I am You can control the Cai family as you like!"

Cheng Mengxuan opened her eyes slightly, with an unbelievable look of being deeply wronged, and said, "My lord, what do you mean by this? Do you think that I want to be unfavorable to Sister Qian'er? How is this possible? ?I grew up with Sister Qianer, and I love her as a sister. How could I do something to hurt her? It is true that this person wants to hurt Sister Qianer, but you said that this person is your entourage , This... my lord, you must believe me, it is clear that this person has shamelessly betrayed you, and actually wants to kill Sister Qian'er, if you don't believe me, you can ask Sister Qian'er herself."

As soon as these words came out, all the people present were in an uproar. They did not expect that Miss Youxiangfu, who was famous all over the capital and was regarded as the only example of ladies and gentlemen, would have such a thick skin and such shamelessness!
