26. The Assassin (2)

“Your Highness.”

“Finished Checking?”

“Everyone is here, and there is no one else inside.”

“What about the blood? The time is so short, he wouldn't be able to have the time to deal with those bloody clothes.”

“We haven't seen anything.”

Murong Xu coldly swept over the face of the man of the Yu family who dared not speak in anger, his wives and concubines who tightly covered their faces, and the shy young ladies, and said with a solemn face,

“Go to the next courtyard.”

The people inside may have already

Heard the voices coming from the courtyard next door, and they were already trembling in fright, and the courtyard door was just casually pushed open.

Murong Xu walked in slowly with his hands behind his back, and raised his eyebrows in surprise when he saw the person coming out of the main courtyard,

“Oh, so it's an acquaintance.”

Yu Qingjia's hair and shoulders were covered by a shawl, while her body was draped over by a large cloak. One look and it was obvious that she had just been awakened.

Murong Xu swept over Yu Qingjia's face with a smile, and found that her, dressed up meticulously was already to his taste, and she was even more to his taste without makeup on.

Yu Qingjia's hair is very long, she didn't realized it during the day because she had it tied in a bun, but now that it was all loose down, she realized that her hair has even covered the root of her legs.

Her hair is thick and black, and because she had to rush out in the middle of the night to get up, the roots of her hair still looked fluffy, and it even covered her entire body, which made her eyebrows look clear and alluring even more. Perhaps because she was just woken up, Yu Qingjia's tone could not be described as pleasant,

“The night is already dark, and Prince Yingchuan is barging into the Yu Family's mansion with his troops, what is the meaning of this?”

“It is this Prince's sin to disturb the beauty's rest, once this prince had finished investigating the most wanted criminal of the imperial court, he will personally come to make amends with the beauty.”

Murong Xu smiled flirtatiously, but his actions were unambiguous,

“Come on, search inside, don't miss a single room.”

The fury of the officials poured in from both sides, and went in to flip things wantonly, with flamboyant and rude actions.

If the elders were here, they would have been furious. What kind of family is the Yu family, and what are these officials? Normally, they could not even enter the front door of the Yu family, but now they dared to barge into the inner courtyards of the Yu family at will.

But the second household, not to mention the elders, does not even have a male family member living inside at the moment, and even though the people in the other households know that it is not right to leave Yu Qingjia as an unmarried woman to face a group of male outsiders, no one will risk to come forward in her stead.

That is the third prince, Prince Yingchuan, who would even dare to provoke him?

Yu Qingjia's expression was not good when she heard the sound coming from the courtyard. The only three servant girls in the second room, one old and two weak, were already too scared to breathe when they saw such a fierce entrance, so how could they be expected to come to her defense?

Yu Qingjia is not embarrassed, although her face is not good, but her body has been standing upright. When the officials finished searching the two sides of the courtyard, Yu Qingjia gathered her coat and spoke with a slight sarcasm,

“Prince Yingchuan would barge into my courtyard, and even smash my things? Did you find anyone?”

In fact, because Murong Xu entered the door with a smile, and exchanged pleasant words with the young lady, the officers and soldiers have been much more careful when turning things over, afraid of accidentally offending the noble lady in the future.

They searched other courtyards and did not pay attention to the weight on their hands, so they would casually throw away vases and ornaments randomly, if you compare the wreckage they've caused to the other courtyard, hers were obviously quite minimal.

But Yu Qingjia didn't know about the tragic situations of the other courtyard. Even if she knew, just seeing her own courtyard being turned upside down by strange men, she still wouldn't be happy.

The Prince of Yingchuan looked at the “Masterpiece” of his men and was very embarrassed. He looked into the courtyard and saw that there was nothing suspicious inside, so he smiled and went up to Yu Qingjia and said,

“It's really a crime for me to barge into the courtyard and surprise the beauty, so tomorrow, this prince must send over a generous gift and come to apologize to Lady Yu. But now, please cooperate with me.”

Murong Xu said with a sudden turn of his voice, his gaze became sharp immediately,

“What is the place behind that?”

The gray-haired old slave was pretending to be weak, but after seeing this, she really couldn't pretend anymore,

“Presumptuous, this is the lady's boudoir.”

Yu Qingjia face also turned cold, her beautiful face was full of anger, standing in the firelight, she looked even more like the Goddess Luoshen1, unreachable, and extraordinary,

“Prince Yingchuan, do not bully people too much.”

Although Murong Xu is flirtatious and lustful in nature, and he loves beauty the most, but when it comes to official business, even if Heng'e2 is standing in front of him he would still be unmoved. He waved his hand lightly to the people behind him,

“Go to the back and search, don't miss any details.”

Murong Xu slowly walked sround the second courtyard, when he was walking up the steps, he couldn't help but tilt his head towards Yu Qingjia and smile at her angry look at the moment. Her long hair is loose and fluffy, which wrapped her entire body.

Her coat looked like it was put on hastily, it was too loose, and also a little too long. Yu Qingjia does not know that although she was wrapped tightly at the moment, and the impression she gave others were cold and impersonal, but it collides with a strong sense of fragile beauty, at least Murong Xu thought so, and his inner heart is full of the desire to destroy it, let it fall off the high branch stained with the dusts of mortal desires.

It's just a pity that he has something important to do at the moment. Murong Xu appreciated the beauty for a short moment, then walked in without hesitation. The good thing is that the officials and soldiers know how to read the eyes, although Prince Yingchuan let them search around loosely, but just looking at his expression, he clearly knows this young Miss of the Yu family, and seems to have some good feelings towards her.

In the imperial court, the food chain had always been that the loyal subjects wouldn't dare to offend the eunuchs, the eunuchs wouldn't dare to offend beautiful women. How can they, the lowest-level officers and soldiers, dare to be presumptuous in front of the woman that the emperor's son fancies.

They didn't take Prince Yingchuan's words about searching the girl's boudoir at will seriously, when they think about it in the future, he may be the first one to be unhappy. With such overlapping scruples, the officers who were headed into the second courtyard did not dare to look nor rummage anything, they just generally pretended to be.

Half of the Yu family ancestral home was turned upside down, the other courtyards were immersed in dead silence. The noise is such that even the deep sleepers were also woken up, but they did not dare to go out nor light a lamp, they can only dress and hide in the darkness while listening to the outside movement with fear and trepidation. Madam Li's window in the main household also reflected a bright light the size of a soybean, it was wavering as if it would be blown away at any time. After a while, Madam Li's door opened and a maid ran out from inside in a panic,

“Fourth Miss, are you asleep?”

Of course, Yu Qingya has been awake for a long time, at this kind of time, she can't sleep even if she has the heart to. She was actually in the middle of internally communicating with the system, when she heard that her mother had sent a maid over, she whispered for Hongluan to open the front door.
