Chapter 45: Temptation

"I want you to kill the prince."

"Prince? You want me to assassinate the Prince? Lingyu's eyes widened in surprise, "Why?" “

"Huh." The man laughed, "This is my personal vendetta, you just have to do it, as for the reason, you don't have to know." “

Lingyu looked at the man's appearance that refused to reveal half a sentence, and her heart was even more curious.

She wondered why he had asked her to assassinate the prince.

"You want to know?" The man raised his eyebrows and looked at Lingyu, smiling, "Don't you like me?" Why do you know? “

Lingyu was stunned.

She didn't like this man, why should she know?

The person she doesn't like is the prince, not him, why does this man target the prince?

"I don't like you, it's my business, you have no right to interfere with me!"

"In that case, why don't you dare to directly refuse my invitation, but instead come to the palace banquet?"

Lingyu bit her lip, not knowing how to explain it for a while.

Indeed, why didn't she just refuse? Instead, chose to participate in the palace banquet?

She always felt that things would not be so simple.

"Since the county lord doesn't know the answer, then you don't need to know, I don't want to waste any more words. You go, remember, no matter what, don't try to disobey my orders, or ...... I'm going to kill you! “

“...... Good! Lingyu nodded, then turned to leave.

She walked out of the attic, and was just about to leave, when she suddenly thought of something, stopped, turned around and asked, "What should I do about His Royal Highness the Prince?" “

"As long as you do what I say, you won't have to worry about other things." The man said indifferently.

When Lingyu heard this, she felt disappointed in her heart.

She thought she could get some news, but she didn't get anything.

Forget it, this kind of thing can't be rushed, and there will be more opportunities in the future.

"Then I'll go first."

The man nodded faintly and motioned for Lingyu to leave.

After Lingyu walked out of the attic, he picked up the teacup on the table and drank the tea in the cup slowly.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, she really doesn't seem to remember." The man stood up and bowed to the painting behind him, and then the supposedly solid wall slowly moved, and out of it came a man with a picturesque eyebrow.

"She doesn't remember me? That's a lot of fun. The man muttered to himself.

The man walked out of the room, looking at the darkening sky, a smile on his lips.

He reached out and touched the necklace around his neck, his eyes becoming colder and colder.

Lingyu returned to the mansion and immediately told Murong Che about today's events, and reminded Murong Che not to act rashly, everything was up to her.

Hearing this, Murong Che pondered for a moment, and finally nodded and agreed with Lingyu's suggestion.

"I know, you go and rest first, I'll go to the palace banquet tonight, don't worry."

Seeing this, Lingyu nodded.

"Okay, then I'll go back first."

"Yes."

After Lingyu left, Murong Che took out the white porcelain bottle in his arms, uncorked it, and poured out a pill and put it in his mouth.

For a moment, a flush appeared on his face.

"Hmm--" he groaned in pain, a dense cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

He endured the pain and swallowed the pill.

After a long time, the pain subsided a lot, and he slowly closed his eyes and leaned back on the bed panting.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"

"It's fine." Murong Che shook his head, slowed down, and continued to close his eyes to recuperate.

As night fell, moonlight shone through the windows and spilled into the room.

The man was still lying quietly, without any abnormality.

Suddenly, the man on the bed opened his eyes suddenly, his eyes were full of scarlet, and a pair of eyes were like the eyes of a beast, flashing with a terrifying coldness.

"Ahh A scream pierced the sky, deafening!

"Ahh A scream pierced the sky, deafening!

On the roof, Lingyu trembled, and the whole person collapsed on the ground.

She felt the afterglow of fear, and her heart pounded, and then again.

She didn't understand why she had suddenly appeared in the attic, but when she remembered the bloodlust and violence in the man's eyes, her body trembled uncontrollably, and a fierce fear enveloped her whole body.

Who is that man?

Why such horrible eyes?

Could it be a legendary vampire?

No way! That kind of thing won't survive in the world at all!

"Whew, it scares me to death!" Lingyu patted her chest and gasped for breath.

She kept reassuring herself that this experience should be just a dream.

However, why is the expression and voice of the man in the dream so clear?

She could even hear him talking!

Lingyu rubbed her head, shook off the bad memories in her mind, and then leaped down from the attic and quickly disappeared into the night.

She couldn't understand why she was in the attic or why she saw such a scene.

It was a nightmare, and she didn't want to think about it.

......

"The emperor has arrived, and the imperial concubine has arrived--"

"Long live Your Majesty, long live, imperial concubine Niang Chitose Chitose Chitose."

"Let's be even, ladies and gentlemen, I specially took a few royal brothers out of the palace for an outing today, are you all ready?"

Murong Qingtian sat on the dragon chair, glanced around, and asked majestically.

"Your Ministers are ready!"

The civil and military officials kneeling below replied in unison.

"Haha...... That's good! “

"Father, the sons are also ready!"

Murong Che's voice sounded.

"Good!" Murong Qingtian smiled, "Then let's get ready to go." “

"Yes."

"Father, the sons and daughters are also ready." Murong Che said and stood up.

Murong Qingtian nodded, signaling that Murong Che could go.

A group of ministers followed behind Murong Che and walked out.

"Your Highness, which concubines are you going to bring with us on our trip this time?" A minister of civil and military affairs asked.

"I want to bring the spirit jade."

Murong Che thought of Lingyu, and his eyes couldn't help but reveal a soft light.

His mother died because of Lingyu, and although Lingyu saved his life, he also owed her a reward for meritorious deeds.

"It's not in accordance with the rules to take her on a trip, after all, the county lord is noble, how can he walk with his ministers?" The man shook his head.

Murong Che frowned and glared at the man unhappily: "I'll take Lingyu there, what's the matter with you?" Do you even have to take care of my private affairs? I said let Lingyu accompany me on a trip, where did so much nonsense come from? “

"......" The man couldn't say a word with his mouth open, only smiled awkwardly.

This Nine Highnesses, it's really ......

"Brother Nine Emperors, don't be angry, my father must have his considerations for doing this, don't blame them." On the side, a young man smiled and spoke, his voice warm, like a humble gentleman.

This young man is Murong Cheyun, Murong Che's younger brother.

He has a handsome appearance, exquisite facial features, and a brocade dress that makes the whole person more dazzling.

His eyes were blue, as bright as jewels.

"Humph!" Murong Che snorted coldly.

Murong Cheyun was slightly stunned, he didn't expect his brother to give him such face.

However, he didn't care.

He knew that Murong Che had such a personality and treated others like this.

"Brother Huang, my father brought a lot of beautiful women with me on this trip, if you meet the woman you like, remember to bring it back, otherwise, don't blame this royal brother for bullying you."

Murong Cheyun raised his eyebrows with a smile.

Murong Che looked embarrassed when he heard this.

Murong Cheyun and him have the same father, although the two are not the same mother, they are not much different.

Murong Che is a concubine, and Murong Che is a concubine.

Murong Che is Murong Qingtian's favorite child, and it is precisely because of this that his status in the palace is so arrogant.

Murong Cheyun was not annoyed, and said lightly: "Ninth brother, I won't fight with you for anything. “

"Humph! If you really dare to covet the spirit jade, this prince will definitely snatch her over! “

Murong Cheyun smiled and did not answer.

Although the relationship between the two people is on an equal footing, in fact it is clear.

Because, since he was a child, he was jealous of Murong Che's intelligence, so Murong Cheyun has always been unpleasant to him.

He always felt that Murong Che's intelligence was given to Murong Che by God!

"Father, since the people are ready, let's go." After Murong Che finished speaking, he led a group of people towards the direction of the palace gate.

His back looked a little lonely.

......

Lingyu returned to her residence, washed up, changed her clothes, and sat down at the dresser to comb her hair.

She raised her hand and touched her cheek, her face was a little pale, and she didn't know if it was because of the scene in the dream.

"Hey, you're embarrassed to say it? Didn't you say that it was enough to leave this matter to you? As a result, you actually His Highness the Nine. “

"I didn't expect it to turn out like this." Lingyu sighed and said.

"Oh, you are too reckless, if it weren't for His Highness's kindness, I guess you would have died a long time ago." Xiao Hei lay on Lingyu's shoulder, his tone full of schadenfreude.

"Xiao Hei, pay attention to what you say." Lingyu glared at it dissatisfied.

"I'm telling the truth."

"Okay, okay, I know it's wrong, I won't do it again next time!"

"You said it yourself!" Xiao Hei narrowed his eyes, a sly expression.

"Hmm!" Lingyu nodded heavily, indicating that she would never break her word.

"Okay, okay, let's pack up our things, and I'll meet up with our Highness to play in a while."

"Hmm!"

"By the way, that day I saw the carriage of the fourth princess parked in front of our county lord's mansion."

Lingyu was startled when she heard this, and hurriedly opened the door and ran out.

"Xiao Hei, what you just said is true?"

Lingyu clenched her fists and looked anxious.

"Yes, the guards of the County Lord's Mansion told me that the Ninth Princess was wandering outside the County Lord's Mansion and wanted to come in to see you."

"Four princesses?" Lingyu was a little puzzled, but quickly suppressed it.
