Chapter 328 - Mediation, Each of Them Paid for a Bracelet (1/2)

Qin Wanru got on Madam Dowager’s carriage, and Qin Yuru got on the rear carriage alone. As the carriages slowly moved forward, everyone relaxed their hold and watched the carriages go away. After that, they started to talk about the two Young Madams of the Qin’s Mansion in groups of three and four.

The First Miss was so arrogant, while the Second Miss was so pitiful.

As expected the Second Miss wasn’t the biological daughter of the Qin’s Mansion, so the people of the Qin’s Mansion didn’t treat her very well. They could tell that she probably lived a poor life in the Qin’s Mansion. But even so, she still maintained her good manners.

Everyone thought that Qin Yuru had only herself to blame for the broken bracelets and it was all her fault. No one felt sorry for her or showed sympathy with her, even she finally left with red eyes.

Upstairs in the jade shop, the window facing the street was open. Someone looked coldly down with his hands clasped behind his back and happened to watch the farce downstairs.

“Master, would you like to take a break? You may feel tired after standing for so long!” A eunuch beside him reminded him in a low voice. He stole a glance at downstairs, but didn’t see clearly those who had quarreled among the crowd.

“The Qin’s Mansion!” Chu Liuyue slowly left the window and sat down in a chair.

“They are from the Qin’s Mansion? Which Qin’s Mansion?” The eunuch beside him didn’t understand what he meant. There were not a few Qin’s Mansions in the capital.

“The two daughters of Ningyuan Army General’s Mansion are really different!” Chu Liuyue marvelled and reached out to press his chest. He was really injured, but more seriously injured than he thought. He was the one who had plotted the assassination. However, a real assassin actually blended in and almost killed him.

At the thought of it, he felt a dull pain in his chest with his face turning increasingly gloomy.

“Have you found out who the assassin is?”

“I failed to find it out. The assassin is dead! But he has worked for us!” The eunuch lowered his head and reported.

“He has worked for us… If so, why did he intend to kill me!” Chu Liuyue said with a pale face and coughed, “Second brother, third brother, fourth brother and I, all of us got involved in it. There may be someone who deliberately meddled with the assassination or someone who secretly watched us fight with each other!”

“Master, could it be Prince Zhou?” The eunuch told of his thought. He unconsciously ignored Prince Chen and Prince Xin. Prince Xin still seemed like a child who hadn’t grown up. Regarding Prince Chen, who would worry about a man who was seriously ill and at the pit’s brink? The reason why his master had tracked it down was that his master was afraid that the late Emperor had left some manpower to Prince Chen. Prince Chen himself was not greatly threatening.

“Not likely!” Chu Liuyue shook his head. He had checked and found out that Chu Liuzhou was the cause of the assassination targeted at Chu Liuchen. If Chu Liuchen really died, Chu Liuzhou wouldn’t be able to explain it even if he had a hundred mouths. From this point of view, neither the Empress nor Chu Liuzhou would send someone from Prince Zhou’s Mansion to kill Chu Liuchen.

It was no good for Chu Liuzhou to irritate Empress Dowager and his father!

“Except for these princes, who else could it be?” The eunuch was confused with no clue. This time all the princes were injured and sent to the Imperial Institute of Medicine for recovery. Today his master finally got out of the palace because of insisting returning his mansion to get some important things. His master should go back to the palace later.

Of course, the princes stayed in the palace not just for recovery. The emperor must have asked some people to investigate the matter.

Staying in the palace, all the princes could be protected and under surveillance.

As the henchman of Chu Liuyue, the eunuch certainly knew what it meant.

“There is someone else!” Chu Liuyue suddenly said with an extremely cold smile on his face which had always been frosty, “I didn’t think of him at the beginning. But now we are all injured, and he’s the only one who could benefit from it!”

“Your Highness, you are talking about…” The eunuch gasped with surprise and also thought of someone.

“Anyone else besides him? If all of us are involved or killed in this incident, he will be able to inherit the throne. Good plot. He hasn’t been discovered over so many years.” Chu Liuyue praised with a sneer.

The eunuch didn’t dare to continue talking and lowered his head carefully.

“Have you found out the relationship between Qin Wanru and Chu Liuchen?” After falling silent for a long while, Chu Liuyue suddenly changed the subject.

“Yes. When Prince Chen was in Jiangzhou, he had lived in Ningyuan Army General’s Mansion. He should have met the Second Miss Qin at that time.” Hearing himself asked, the eunuch raised his head and said.

The initial cause of the assassination, in which several princes got involved, was Qin Wanru.

“Third brother helped an acquaintance so enthusiastically? He has never been so enthusiastic in helping others. Or I can say that he doesn’t know what enthusiasm is at all,” Chu Liuyue snorted coldly and said casually.

“Your Highness, what do you mean?” The eunuch blinked, not understanding what his master meant.

“Check if Chu Liuchen fancies the Second Miss Qin,” Chu Liuyue said slowly with increasingly cold eyes.

“Your Highness, the Second Miss Qin is so young…” the eunuch said in astonishment. As an intimate eunuch of Chu Liuyue, he had seen Qin Wanru in Jiangzhou. She was so young and still looked like a child, right?
