A little embarra.s.sed, Nangong Yixuan forced a smile. And then he took out a note and gave it to Hua Yueling, “Ling'er, see, what does that say?”

Hua Yueling said contemptuously at once, “You really know how to get full use of me. No break, just work.”

“Sis, forgive us please.” Hua Yujin had been completely defeated by his sister's potty-mouthed. He really couldn't understand why such a marriage made her become totally different. Was love really that great?

Looking at two piteous faces, Hua Yueling said complacently, “Well, forgive you this time. Don't underestimate any woman. Otherwise, I will perform my right granted by the Emperor.”

Hearing this, they two could only produce bitter smile again.

"Brother Yi Xuan, what clues did you find in the three places of the Third Prince?" Hua Yueling looked at the note and asked solemnly.

"Ling'er, I didn't find any spies in Xihe Tower and Yueman Tower except the Jing Fu that you've found in Osmanthus Tower, and none of those pigeons was found." Nangong Yixuan was embarra.s.sed.

"You idiot!" Hua Yueling scolded him straight, "How could? must haven;t investegated carefully. Take me there tomorrow!"

Nangong Yixuan's face was red. Apart from being scolded by the Emperor and his mother, he had never been scolded.

"Sister." Hua Yujin hurriedly winked at Hua Yueling.

"Stop calling me! I am very strict when handling the case. The last note clearly pointed out that there was something wrong among the three places, and Jing Fu was successfully found in Osmanthus Tower. How could there be no clue in the other two places? It is obvious that you didn't have thorough investigation!" The voice of Hua Yueling was cold and sharp.

"Yes, yes, Ling'er is right. I may let something unnoticed." Nangong Yixuan, under Hua Yueling's expressiveness, was willing to submit to her.

"Keep your eyes wide open when handling the case in the future! The note says that they will a.s.sa.s.sinate you in Yueman Tower tomorrow night! " Hua Yueling said in a sulk. Her fury was a good demonstration of her worry about the Fourth Prince.If they didn't come to her tonight, they must be thrown into the trap tomorrow.

"What?" Both jumped up from their chairs, looking frightened.

"Why are you going to the Yueman Tower tomorrow?" Hua Yueling ignored their surprise and continued to ask.

"Tomorrow is, is..." Nangong Yixuan became nervous and blushed.

"Just speak it out! Quick or you are courting death? " Hua Yueling was so angry.

"Sister, tomorrow is the 18th birthday of Ouyang Ruyan, the confidante of the Third Prince, he has sent out many invitation cards to celebrate her birthday." In fear, Hua Yujin looked at Hua Yueling whose face grew increasingly sinister.

Hua Yueling quickly grasped the note on her hand, and her face had turned black.

"Sister, don't be angry. Now you and the Third Prince have no relations.h.i.+p with each other, haven't you?" Hua Yujin comforted her.

Hua Yueling glanced at him coldly and said, "Humph! I'm not angry. I know he's attractive to women like the top stallion. But I don't care how many women he has. And I was just hunted by ghosts for a period of time. But since I'm the Minister now. I'll handle the case tomorrow night! Besiege the whole tower secretly. Don't let any a.s.sa.s.sin run away! Do you hear me!" Hua Yueling said. Her little hand threw the gold medal on the table, which made a loud noise.

"Yes, My Lady!" Both men were stunned, sweating out of fright.

"One more thing, only we three know about it; don't report to the fourth one. If you dare to let it out, don't blame me for showing no mercy. How can a prost.i.tute's birthday compare with the rise and fall of the kingdom?" Hua Yueling said seriously with her bulging eyes.

"Yes, My Lady!" The two men replied instantaneously again.

"Well, let's enjoy the tea, but don't blame me for not reminding you that, if you can't catch any a.s.sa.s.sin tomorrow, we shall see what will happen!" Hua Yueling then picked up the nectar tea from Ping'er and drank it in a rather graceful manner.
