C26 An embroidery needle

"Matchmaking?"

The smile on Yan Bai's lips disappeared as he turned to look at Mo Ruyue and asked, "Princess, I seemed to have told this question to the Emperor a long time ago." The marriage Mo Ruyue was talking about was the marriage between him and her, so how could he possibly marry her?

Seeing Yan Bai's sudden change in expression and ice-cold voice, Mo Ruyue's expression also stiffened, and the hand holding Yan Bai's arm became somewhat unnatural. He awkwardly smiled and said, "I did indeed say it, but there's a turning point in things, isn't there?"

"There's no turning point in this matter." Yan Bai immediately rejected, his voice filled with no hesitation.

"This ?" Her head lowered, and her hand quietly let go of Yan Bai's arm. No matter how barbaric and unrestrained she was, under the condition of Yan Bai's resolute rejection that she could not agree to the marriage with her, she was still unable to shake off the idea.

Looking at Mo Ruyue's gloomy face, Yan Bai frowned and sighed, then said in a bland voice: "I had already said that back then, the Emperor had recognized me as his foster son and even bestowed me the title of Duke, but that was only in one form. I am the one in charge of my affairs, and outsiders have no right to interfere, and even the Emperor is not an exception. So don't waste your time on me. "

Mo Ruyue's body suddenly stiffened. How could she not know about what he had said? Or rather, it was because she knew, that made her feel that Yan Bai was extraordinary, which was why he treated him differently ? When she noticed it, she found that she could no longer restrain his emotions ?

She trained diligently just so that she could catch up to him a little. Originally, she was unruly and unruly, but she had never acted rashly in front of him. However, she still did not receive his acknowledgement ?

She was very curious. What kind of woman would be able to obtain his favor?

Seeing Mo Ruyue's somewhat sorrowful expression, Yan Bai sighed once again and said, "Ling Yi, prepare some food. This king is hungry, I believe the princess is hungry as well."

"Yes sir!" Not long after he left, a group of people entered with plates in their hands.

Mo Ru Yue raised her head to look at the food before her and discovered that there were quite a number of dishes that she liked to eat. She felt a slight warmth in her heart and decided to just eat without caring about anything else.

"Oh right, Brother Yan, I heard that Nanmen Yan's hand was stabbed?" As she ate in silence, Mo Ru Yue saw that no one was speaking in an extremely awkward manner, so she could only cough lightly and ask.

Yan Bai was startled, and thought, could it be that the embroidery needle had been discovered?

"How do you know?" Yan Bai casually asked.

"I was at Brother Crown Prince's place this morning. Someone from the general's house came to call Brother Crown Prince, so Brother Crown Prince left."

Yan Bai's brows unconsciously furrowed, and asked indifferently: "Mo Rufeng is in the general's estate right now?"

"Yes, I think so, Nanmen Yan was assassinated, she must have found the culprit, right? Obviously, they invited the people from the Heavenly Dipper Academy and Heavenly Sound Sect to a feast last night, they all felt that Nanmen Yan was a good candidate to take her. If she was hurt by the assassination or had problems with her cultivation, it would not be a small matter." Although Mo Ruyue was a woman, she was also a princess. Under the influence of the royal family, she could clearly see some things, and she was not stupid.

Although he felt that Nanmen Yan and Nanmen Yan would definitely not suspect Nanmen Guo'er, he was afraid that Nanmen Yan would make things difficult for him.

If it was Nanmen Yan alone, Yan Bai would not have to worry at all, but he was afraid that even Mo Rufeng would interfere!

Although Nanmen Guo'er could cultivate now, and had an extremely high Inherent Skill, it was still very dangerous for her to face Mo Rufeng, whose cultivation was also extremely strong.

Furthermore ? Mo Rufeng, that person, had very sharp eyes, if he saw Nanmen Guo'er, it would not be difficult to notice anything special about her.

This was the last thing he would allow!

Even if he knew that Nanmen Guo'er could not possibly fall for someone like Mo Rufeng, he would not allow anyone to spy on him!

Just as Yan Bai was frowning and pondering, the general's mansion was already heavily guarded.

Crown Prince Mo Rufeng, Nanmen Kang Cheng, Nanmen Yan and five or six others were sitting around the living room. Other than Mo Rufeng, the other people had worried looks on their faces and Nanmen Yan sat on a chair with a pale face and her arms covered in grievances.

Mo Rufeng was still dressed in his purple robes, with one hand on his chin, he leaned on the chair, looking at his fingertips, while the other hand was playing with a small embroidery needle.

"Your Highness, can you guess who did this? "There's actually someone who secretly tried to harm Yan'Er, this must not be let go!" Nanmen Kang Cheng said with a face of grief and indignation, "This morning, Yan'Er's wrist was in excruciating pain while training her whip. Luckily this embroidery needle was discovered earlier, otherwise, Yan'Er's hand would not be crippled and it would have serious repercussions!"

"Discovered it early?" Mo Rufeng suddenly laughed softly, her voice was clear and bright, if not for the man's deep voice, people would have thought it was a female's voice, "Her wrist is already in such intense pain, if you still do not find out, wouldn't you all be trash?"

When Mo Rufeng spoke, he did not even raise his head, and was still looking at the embroidery needle at the tip of his finger, his eyes filled with thought.

Hearing this, Kang Cheng's face froze, but he didn't dare to retort. He could only nod his head and say, "Yes yes, His Highness the Crown Prince is right!"

Mo Rufeng glanced at Nanmen Yan, seeing her cautious face while holding her hands, he sneered: "Don't worry, her hands are fine."

"Really? Thank you, your highness, the crown prince! " Nanmen Yan was instantly overjoyed, and quickly expressed her thanks.

Nanmen Kang Cheng also heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at Mo Rufeng and asked, "I wonder, who was the one who tried to kill my daughter in secret?"

Mo Rufeng tapped the table with his slender fingertips, thought for a while and said: "I have seen this technique, it's a hidden strength technique that is unique to Heavenly Sound Sect."

"Heavens ?" Heavenly Sound Sect? " Everyone was shocked.

Nanmen Kang Cheng's face was even more filled with disbelief as he said, "Heavenly Sound Sect? Why? Could it be ? "It's Duke Yu ?"

"BOOM!"

Before Nanmen Kang Cheng could finish his words, he suddenly heard a muffled boom from his table. He lowered his head and saw that there was an unremarkable little hole on the ironwood table.

The small hole was left after the embroidery needle had been placed on the table. The needle had long since disappeared into the ground ?

"Southern Gate's great general, there are some things that should not be said." Mo Rufeng said with an ice-cold voice, causing everyone present to feel a chill run down their spines.

At the same time, Nanmen Kang Cheng also realized that he made a mistake. He hurriedly said with a regretful face, "What Your Highness said is correct. Your Highness, I have made a mistake. Please forgive me."
