Chapter 1961: Chapter 694: 692 Three Princess, A Fox Will Always Show Its Tail_1

“Lin Yilin!”

Noble Lord clenched his teeth, “She wants me to die. I will never let her go.”

Lin Qingluo’s gaze turned icy cold, “She hurt Yixuan, and left him on the brink of death. This is a score that I will settle with her.”

“Reporting to the Noble Lord, the assassin is dead.”

The Shadow Guard returned quickly. In less than the time it takes to brew a pot of tea, he brought back the news of the imposter princess’s death by poisoning.

Noble Lord felt a cold chill creep over his body, “Lin Yilin, her heart is so vicious. Despite the assassin’s devotion, she couldn’t escape death.”

“They have always been ready to die.”

Despite being prepared, Lin Qingluo couldn’t help but be angered, “They apologize for failing their mission by offering their lives.”

“Detestable.”

Noble Lord was so angry he gritted his teeth, “I won’t rest until we uncover her fox’s tail.”

“Every fox will show its tail eventually.”

Lin Qingluo scoffed coldly, “She won’t be able to run.”

“Miss Lin, it seems we are once again in an alliance.”

Noble Lord suddenly laughed softly, his brows raised in a captivating manner.

“I just want to pursue justice for Yixuan. The fight for the throne has nothing to do with me.”

Lin Qingluo averted her gaze and did not engage with him.

“At least, our goals are aligned. That’s enough.”

Noble Lord was unconcerned by her coldness as he gracefully turned to leave, “I hope we can continue to cooperate as pleasantly as before.”

“Baoya, come down!”

Lin Qingluo waited until he left, then suddenly looked up with a sharp gaze, directly at a towering ancient tree not far away.

“Howl.”

Baoya pokes his small head out from the dense branches, hesitating and not daring to come down.

Lin Qingluo squinted her eyes dangerously, “Do you want me to pull you down personally?”

“No, no, Baoya will come down right away.”

Baoya’s little body shivered, and he nimbly jumped down from the tree. His soft and tender voice could be clearly heard.

“Xuan’er misses Sister and refuses to take the soothing pills. Baoya tried to persuade him, but he wouldn’t listen. Baoya is helpless.”

Lin Qingluo glared at him irritably, “When did he start not taking the soothing pills?”

“Since Master left Mystic Canyon to go to the border to repel enemies…”

Baoya cast his eyes down, wondering how to please his master and get through this situation.

“Half a year has passed, and you haven’t said a thing.”

Lin Qingluo was upset and was momentarily tempted to stew Baoya in a red-braised soup.

“Master, Baoya knows he was wrong and will never dare to do it again”

Baoya could sense his master’s anger. His little body was shivering, and he didn’t dare to argue back, he could only beg for mercy.

Lin Qingluo’s gaze darkened, “From now on, report all matters about Yixuan immediately, no matters are to be kept hidden.”

“Yes, Baoya understands.”

Baoya breathed a sigh of relief and calmed his fluttery little heart.@@novelbin@@

The master did not blame it and spared its life.

The following day, Duke of Zhen got up very early, dressed in his imposing military uniform, and headed to the Imperial Palace for morning court.

All the civil and military officials were so stunned their eyes almost fell out.

Someone who hadn’t attended court for more than a decade due to illness was now appearing in the court hall.

Had the sun risen from the west today?

All the officials were standing in front of the entrance of the Mental Cultivation Hall, stretching their necks looking west, waiting for this extraordinary occurrence.

“Old Duke, what wind brought you here today?”

The Lord of the Manison of the Grand Marquis, the biological father of He Yao, who relied on their close relationship, approached with a smile on his face.
