Chapter 770 The Demon-Slaying Girl x-on:Little Black Snake55
Only then did Princess An Ning tell Long Jingrui these things.
Then, the next day, when Long Jingrui entered the palace, he saw the emperor talking to Liu Yi.
Liu Yi was the captain of the royal guards sent by the emperor to arrest Xia Yichu this time.
After searching for so long, he didn't even find the figure of the other party. Not to mention whether the emperor blamed him or not, Liu Yi himself felt ashamed in his heart. ,
When Long Jingrui went there, he happened to see Liu Yi kneeling on the ground, looking like his subordinate was begging for punishment from the emperor for failing in his affairs.
Long Jingrui thought about it for a moment and knew the reason.
In fact, the emperor called Long Jingrui here precisely because of this incident.
Xia Yichu could not be found. For so many days, the matter had not progressed. It would not be a problem to delay it any longer, and it would be too embarrassing for the royal family.
The Zhao Guang who had the accident was also the younger brother of Princess Long Jingrui Zhao Qianqian, so the emperor called Long Jingrui into the palace to ask him about the progress of the matter.
Long Jingrui knelt on the ground, hiding half of what Princess An Ning told him yesterday and telling the other half.
When the emperor heard that there were traces of Xia Yichu, he finally felt a little happy. Then with a wave of his hand, he handed over the entire matter to Long Jingrui, giving him half a month to capture Xia Yichu.
Long Jingrui was very satisfied with the result. After all, if he was responsible for this matter, there would be even fewer insiders.
After bidding farewell to the emperor, Long Jingrui left the palace alone.
Along the way, Long Jingrui was analyzing how to solve the problems involving Zhao Qianqian and Xia Yichu.
This matter was like a thorn stuck in the apex of his heart. If he didn't pull it out at once, Long Jingrui felt that the thorn would get stuck deeper and deeper and eventually kill him.
Although he wanted to kill Zhao Qianqian, he did not want to offend Princess An Ning.
So Long Jingrui planned to wait until he caught Xia Yichu before doing anything.
In order to get Princess An Ning's cooperation in the future, Xia Yichu was going to die.
But for the sake of his bright future, Zhao Qianqian must die.
Long Jingrui rode his horse and changed direction, went to Princess An Ning's mansion, and paid homage to Yixian alone.
Long Jingrui must have grown up with Yu Zhao. While he knew that Yu Zhao was a demon slayer, he also knew about Yu Zhao's many shortcomings and strengths.
Long Jingrui told Yi Xian all this, and then after testing each other out and discussing how to catch Xia Yichu, Long Jingrui left here with satisfaction.
There was no movement from Yi Xian and Long Jingrui. Xia Yichu stayed with Fan Huan Snake all day long, and the two lived a life without shame or impatience.
It wasn't until more than ten days later that an invitation flew to Xia Yichu's table.
Xia Yichu lowered his head and saw that it was an invitation from Princess An Ning's Mansion, but the person who sent the message was Long Jingrui.
The content in the post is genuine.
Long Jingrui said that he had actually known Xia Yichu's whereabouts for a long time, but he had never reported her.
He said that he has always thought about the friendship between the two of them since they were young in the mountains. He no longer pursues what Xia Yichu did to Zhao Guang and Zhao Qianqian. After all, Xia Yichu and he are brothers and sisters. He hopes that Xia Yichu can get to know each other honestly. He realized his mistake and apologized to Princess An Ning and others.
Because tomorrow is the Hundred Flowers Banquet hosted by Princess An Ning, and with Long Jingrui around, I believe it will not be difficult for Xia Yichu, Princess An Ning and others to turn their hostility into friendship.
Xia Yichu looked at the letter that Long Jingrui had sent and smiled. Long Jingrui was treating her like a fool.
"Are you going?" Fen Huan, who was standing next to him, asked Xia Yichu. He also saw the contents of the letter.
"Of course, if she doesn't go, their play won't be able to go on." Xia Yichu nodded slightly. Since Long Jingrui and the others had been preparing for so long and wanted to catch a turtle in a urn, if she didn't go, wouldn't it be a waste of their time? A thoughtful thought.
They were able to use this Hundred Flowers Banquet to cover up what they wanted to do. Naturally, Xia Yichu could continue this Hundred Flowers Banquet to expose what they had done.
"After the things here in the capital are finished, I will go back to the mountain with you." Xia Yichu raised his hand and patted Fenhuan on the shoulder.
Fenhuan's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes lit up.
It was Long Jingrui's suggestion that Princess An Ning hold the Hundred Flowers Banquet, and of course, it was supported by Yi Xian.
Xia Yichu stayed in the inn all day without coming out. Although Yi Xian and Long Jingrui could go in and arrest people, they didn't want this matter to become a big deal.
So Long Jingrui suggested that Princess An Ning hold a banquet and invite all the noble ladies and official ladies in the capital to attend, which also gave him a reason to call Xia Yichu out.
Of course, the real reason why Yi Xian and Long Jingrui asked Princess An Ning to hold a banquet was because they wanted to drive away Princess An Ning.
After all, both Yi Xian and Long Jingrui have evil intentions and their own plans.
If Princess An Ning is there, it will hinder their actions.
Yi Xian and Long Jingrui seemed to have reached a consensus at a certain moment.
Xia Yichu went to Princess Anning's Mansion alone and brought a gift she bought.
There were many carriages parked in front of the princess's mansion, and there were countless nobles who came to attend the banquet.
Xia Yichu handed the gift and the invitation to the steward who took it for a look. Xia Yichu's invitation seemed to be no different from other people's invitations, but if you look closely, there are actually some differences.
The steward looked at the post in his hand, a strange color flashed across his eyes, and then quickly disappeared.
He put the posts and gifts behind. When he looked at Xia Yichu, the bright smile on his face remained. He asked the boy standing behind to take Xia Yichu in for tea. Then, the moment he passed by Xia Yichu, he spoke to Xia Yichu said: "Girl, the third prince has been waiting for you inside for a long time. Follow Ah Fu and go straight in, and you can find the third prince."
Ah Fu was the boy that the steward found for Xia Yichu to lead the way.
Xia Yichu nodded slightly, his expression unchanged, and followed Ah Fu leisurely.
Because of the banquet held, the eldest princess's mansion had a completely new look today. The mansion was luxurious, and even some beautiful trinkets were hung on the branches next to it.
Xia Yichu came either early or late. Before her, many people had already come to the door, walking around in the corridor, or drinking tea in the Orchid Pavilion of the Waterside Pavilion.
Ah Fu seemed to have received the order a long time ago, and he led Xia Yichu towards the back courtyard intently.
When passing through the third door, a middle-aged man wearing brocade and satin appeared from the corridor nearby. When he saw Xia Yichu's undisguised appearance, the middle-aged man was startled and shouted out of control: "stop!"
