Chapter 181: Deputy Envoy Lin Missing
Xie Shouzheng asked: "Deputy Envoy Lin, don't you suspect that Prince Jin is related to this case?"
Lin Qingyue said: "Regardless of whether Dongfang Yan is related to the Flying Corpse Silkworm case, but he and Lin Ruzhen getting together will definitely not be a good thing—Dami, continue."
Dami nodded and continued to report: "Princess Ling Xue returned to the Honglu Temple unhappily, and was later called by her brother to talk. After returning to her room, she continued to be unhappy and smashed a set of porcelain, causing my intelligence officer to accidentally scratch his forelimb..."
Because the intelligence officer was injured and fled in a panic, the things behind were not recorded.
Lin Qingyue ordered Dami: "Send more intelligence officers to focus on monitoring. In addition, increase the monitoring range. All Feng Kingdom people in the Imperial City must be focused on."
After explaining these, other things were arranged by Xie Shouzheng.
Lin Qingyue estimated that the time was almost up, so she prepared to meet with Dongfang Qi and go directly to investigate the bottom of Prince Ling Zhen to see if he had any problems.
Just after coming out of the Xuanjing Division office, she met Dongfang Yan head-on.
Dongfang Yan jumped off the carriage and said: "I was just about to go in and find you, but I didn't expect you to come out. Have time to chat? I have specially prepared a carriage for you."
"No time."
"Lin Ruzhen came back last night, and she said a lot of things to me. Don't you want to know what she said?"
"What did she say?"
Seeing that she was interested, Dongfang Yan played hard to get:
"Qingyue, you and I haven't been able to talk properly for a long time. Today is sunny, it's a good day. Why not come back to Prince Jin's mansion with me and have a good chat? By the way, see your good sister."
Lin Qingyue glanced at him and sneered: "Don't be shameless, if I want to know, I don't have to get it from your mouth. If you don't want to say it, get lost!"
As she spoke, she was about to leave. Dongfang Yan said shamelessly from behind, "Where are you in such a hurry to go? Could it be to have a secret meeting with the Crown Prince? Even if you and I have never consummated our marriage, you are already a woman married for the second time. In the eyes of the world, you are nothing but a withered flower and a discarded willow, unworthy of the position of Crown Princess. Therefore..."
Before he finished speaking, Dongfang Yan was kicked flying and fell heavily to the ground, the pain causing him to curl up, unable to make a sound for a long time.
Lin Qingyue said coldly: "Dongfang Yan, I didn't want to haggle with you too much, but you insist on looking for death again and again, then I can only..."
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly felt dizzy and glared at Dongfang Yan: "What did you do..."
Then her figure swayed, and she fell down softly.
Dongfang Yan slowly climbed up from the ground, his face covered with a layer of viciousness.
Last night, Lin Ruzhen told him that as long as he found a way to catch Lin Qingyue and drain the dirty blood from her body, he could force the evil ghost possessing her to appear.
Once she lost the protection of her physical body, she could make the evil ghost's soul vanish in the sunlight.
Dongfang Yan was silent after hearing this.
Lin Qingyue's strength, where could she be caught casually?
Thinking back to Yixian Canyon, Dongfang Yan brought more than a dozen top guards and failed to stop her. Even he himself, every time he faced Lin Qingyue, only suffered losses.
Not to mention catching her back to drain blood, I'm afraid the one being drained would be Dongfang Yan himself.
Lin Ruzhen said to Dongfang Yan: "The master gave me a special medicinal powder. This medicinal powder is colorless and odorless, and does no harm to ordinary people. If it is a demon or evil ghost, it will be weak and lose the ability to resist as soon as it touches the body."
Dongfang Yan thought about it, the past grudges and new hatreds, all kinds of humiliations surged into his heart.
So early this morning, he came to see Lin Qingyue in person.
He also knew that with Lin Qingyue's means and ability, it would be difficult to drug her.
After some thought, he finally sprinkled the medicinal powder on his robe.
After seeing Lin Qingyue, he deliberately said those things that would anger her. As long as she took action, the medicinal powder on Dongfang Yan would definitely be stained on Lin Qingyue's body.
Sure enough, everything was as Dongfang Yan expected.
After lifting Lin Qingyue into the carriage, Dongfang Yan also got into the carriage and drove away quickly.
Almost the moment the carriage left, a mouse squeaked and rushed into the Xuanjing Division.
Dami was talking to Xie Shouzheng, when suddenly a mouse climbed onto him and squeaked twice.
Dami was shocked: "What did you say? Deputy Envoy Lin was kidnapped? Is it... Prince Jin?"
Xie Shouzheng grabbed the blood thorn whip upon hearing this, and ordered while walking: "Hong Yao, you run fast, go and notify His Highness the Crown Prince quickly. Other brothers, follow me to Prince Jin's mansion to save Deputy Envoy Lin. Damn it, daring to kidnap our Xuanjing Division's people in broad daylight, you are tired of living!"
Dongfang Qi and Lin Qingyue agreed yesterday to meet on the long street outside the Honglu Temple gate after the morning court to meet Prince Ling Zhen together.
At that time, Dongfang Qi would find a reason to clear away the people around both sides.
Lin Qingyue could quietly perform the Dream Tracing Technique to quickly investigate Ling Zhen's memory.
If there is no problem, then wake him up without leaving a trace, which can also avoid diplomatic problems between the two countries.
However, Dongfang Qi waited for a long time near the Honglu Temple and never saw Lin Qingyue's figure.
He couldn't help but be puzzled: "Strange, Yueyue is usually very punctual, why is she late today? Could it be that there is something in the Mysterious Mirror Division that she can't get away from?"
Just at this moment, a red shadow flashed quickly, scaring the guards around the Crown Prince.
Hong Yao appeared before the Crown Prince and said urgently:
"It's bad, Deputy Envoy Lin was caught by Prince Jin! Official Xie has already taken people to Prince Jin's mansion, and to be safe, he ordered me to report to Your Highness."
"What?" Dongfang Qi was shocked and flew onto his horse towards Prince Jin's mansion.
Hong Yao was also ready to follow, but suddenly sensed something and turned back to look in the direction of the Honglu Temple.
Dongfang Qi was worried about Lin Qingyue, riding his horse at full speed, and after running through several intersections, a group of people suddenly rushed out from the side.
Dongfang Qi hurriedly reined in his horse, so he didn't hit anyone.
Looking closely, he found that the person who came was Xie Shouzheng.
"Xiao Hui, didn't Hong Yao say you went to Prince Jin's mansion? Did you find Deputy Envoy Lin?"
"Oh, Your Highness, it's good to see you! I went to Prince Jin's mansion, but that bastard Prince Jin didn't return to the mansion at all! I left two brothers to guard outside the mansion, preparing to find other places."
"Dongfang Yan didn't return to the mansion?"
"He's probably afraid we'll come to the door to save people, so he didn't return! Oh, I don't know where Deputy Envoy Lin was taken, it's really anxious!"
The matter of the Flying Corpse Silkworm hasn't been sorted out, and Lin Qingyue is missing again—Xie Shouzheng scratched his head anxiously.
Dongfang Qi was extremely anxious, even the hand holding the reins was shaking.
However, now, he knew himself that he could not panic, he could not lose his footing! Otherwise, how could he save anyone?
