Volume 1_Chapter 151: Hi, Imperial Uncle, What a Coincidence

"That batch of assassins came from the second assassin organization, the Wolf Evil Alliance, but no connection to Xu Shi or the Xu family was found," Yu Lin reported.

Although the Wolf Evil Alliance was the second assassin organization and its strength was formidable, it was actually far inferior to the first, the Ghost Night, because the Wolf Evil Alliance was just a loose alliance form, with all idle assassins joining, and there was no organization or discipline to speak of.

As for this assassination, Yun Qiyue's first suspect was Xu Shi and the others.

However, Yu Lin actually hadn't found any connection to Xu Shi?

Just when Yun Qiyue frowned slightly, Yu Lin continued: "However, although no connection between Xu Shi and this matter was found, after the Eldest Miss left the mansion, Xu Shi did indeed take action."

Upon hearing this, Yun Qiyue raised an eyebrow slightly.

If this matter was truly done by Xu Shi, but Yu Lin couldn't find the connection, it proved that Xu Shi truly had some tricks up her sleeve.

Or rather, the person behind Xu Shi wasn't simple.

However, regardless of whether it could be confirmed to be Xu Shi, she had dealt with Xu Shi today.

Who told that Xu Shi to be so good at jumping around?

She couldn't always be the one blocking soldiers with soldiers and water with earth, otherwise, it would make people think she was weak, easy to bully, and couldn't slap faces.

So, Yun Qiyue didn't tangle with the evidence problem anymore and directly instructed, "Proceed according to the original plan."

Her voice was cold, but it carried a hint of excitement.

Yu Lin thought of Yun Qiyue's plan, and there was an indescribable look in his eyes.

Is the Eldest Miss... sure she is a woman?

However, Yu Lin soon threw this question away.

No matter how the Eldest Miss was, they, as subordinates, just needed to do as told.

Before, they only obeyed the Eldest Miss because of orders, but now, after Yu Lin and the others witnessed Yun Qiyue's various abilities, they had long since lost any contempt or doubt.

After Yu Lin left, there was a knock on the door.

Yun Qiyue looked up and said lightly: "Enter!"

The door was pushed open, and then Cai'er, a second-class maid in the courtyard, cautiously poked her head in.

Seeing Yun Qiyue looking at her, Cai'er entered nervously and bowed to Yun Qiyue, "Eldest Miss."

Yun Qiyue looked at this maid who didn't have much presence and said: "Something up?"

Cai'er hesitated for a moment, then said, "Eldest Miss, it's Bizhu, Bizhu went out in the afternoon and hasn't returned yet, this servant is worried..."

Hearing this, Yun Qiyue's gaze was indifferent, "She probably won't return, you just need to do your duty."

Bizhu had ulterior motives from the beginning.

If she guessed correctly, Qingli was killed by Bizhu, and the person who tipped off that day was definitely Bizhu without a doubt.

With Xu Shi and the others' tolerance, how could they tolerate a traitor?

So, Bizhu's fate, one didn't need to think to know.

Cai'er was stunned upon hearing this, wanting to ask why Bizhu wouldn't return, but thinking that this wasn't something a second-class maid should ask, she gave up the idea and retreated.

Night grew deeper.

Xu Shi had already removed her makeup, wearing her slightly red and swollen face, took off her outer garment, and prepared to sleep.

However, at this moment, Lin Mama hurried in, "Madam, it's not good."

Although Lin Mama's voice and footsteps were hurried, she tried her best to lower her voice.

Clearly, the matter was of great importance, and Lin Mama didn't dare to make it public.

Seeing Lin Mama like this, Xu Shi knew the matter wasn't small, subconsciously picked up her outer garment and draped it over herself, asking while tying the belt, "What's going on?"

Lin Mama took two quick steps, arrived in front of Xu Shi, and said: "Xu Ze, he is missing."

Upon hearing this, Xu Shi's pupils shrank.

"I, I'll go take a look."

Clearly, Xu Shi was very panicked.

Lin Mama didn't stop her and followed behind Xu Shi.

Fortunately, it wasn't early at this time, and the irrelevant maids and old women had all been dismissed by Xu Shi, so no one discovered that Xu Shi had left her own courtyard late at night.

Soon, Xu Shi arrived at Xu Ze's residence.

However, it was empty inside, and Xu Ze was truly not there.

If it were just that he wasn't there, it would be fine; Xu Shi might have thought Xu Ze had gone out for something, but that wasn't the case.

There were obvious signs of fighting in Xu Ze's room, and there were bloodstains on the ground.

This scene made Xu Shi, who was usually calm and composed, panic, and she grabbed Lin Mama's hand, "Cui Ping, where is the person? Where is he? Where is Ze'er?"

Cui Ping was Lin Mama's name.

Three questions in a row, plus Xu Shi's expression, anyone with eyes could see Xu Shi's care for Xu Ze.

Seeing Xu Shi like this, Lin Mama hurriedly comforted her, "Madam, don't be anxious, let's send people to look for him, you cannot be anxious."

Don't know if Lin Mama's comfort worked, but Xu Shi calmed down.

However, Xu Shi's face, after calming down, was a bit ugly, "Go, look—especially over at the house next door."

Except for Yun Qiyue, Xu Shi couldn't think of anyone else who would deal with Xu Ze.

Only Yun Qiyue had a grudge with her, and only Yun Qiyue knew the importance of Xu Ze to her.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mama quickly retreated and ordered people to handle this matter.

And Xu Shi, after Lin Mama left, turned around in the room, then resolutely walked toward the corner of the room, not knowing where she pressed, and a small piece of the wall moved, revealing a small secret compartment.

In the secret compartment, there was an inconspicuous small box.

Xu Shi opened the box directly, took out a very small thing from it, and walked into the courtyard, lighting it.

Then, a faint light flew into the sky and exploded silently.

When the patrolling guards of the Yun Mansion felt the light and looked up, there was nothing left in the sky, so they just took it as a silent lightning and didn't take it to heart.

But Yun Qiyue, standing in front of the bed on the second floor of Mingyue Building, saw that light, just didn't know if that silent light could lure the man Xu Shi called "A Lang" over, and then have a "turtle in a jar" situation.

Yun Qiyue was very expectant.

Thus, Yun Qiyue summoned Qingyan and said with a hint of excitement in her eyes: "Let's go, let's go watch a show."

However, Yun Qiyue never expected that not long after leaving Mingyue Building, she would encounter a roadblock.

Stiffening for half a minute, Yun Qiyue reached out, "Hi, Imperial Uncle, what a coincidence."

Isn't it a coincidence? Being able to meet Ye Lanjue while strolling in her own garden.

Ye Lanjue stood in the night, staring at Yun Qiyue.

He came because he saw the signal flare.

That thing was silent, and the light wasn't strong, but it could travel very far, which was very rare; it could be said that there weren't many in the entire Tianqi Continent, so it would only be used when something important happened.

The appearance of this thing in the direction of the General's Mansion made Ye Lanjue sense something unusual.

His first reaction was that Yun Qiyue would be in trouble, so he rushed over at the fastest speed.

As a result, he watched Yun Qiyue and her maid sneaking toward the direction of the Marquis Mansion.

If he wasn't mistaken, when this woman looked at him, there was obvious guilt in her eyes, right?

Guilt?

What exactly does this woman want to do in the middle of the night? ===== CHAPTER 152 =====
