CHAPTER 433: NOT IMPOSSIBLE

"My lord, please have a look."

Feng Xuan presented a letter, which unfolded to reveal over a dozen pages, meticulously recording every detail.

Nangong Mo quickly skimmed through it, ten lines at a glance, slightly furrowing his brows as the papers turned to ashes in his hands, vanishing into the wind.

Feng Xuan carefully observed his expression and tentatively asked, "My lord, have you discovered who harmed the princess?"

Nangong Mo’s gaze slightly narrowed, his eyes deep as the sea, and he slowly uttered two words, "No one."

Feng Xuan was somewhat surprised, "No one found? How can it be?"

Have those guys been so inefficient in their work?! And, this lengthy information of over a dozen pages is of no use at all?!

Actually, it’s not that those guys didn’t work hard or couldn’t find out.

They even tracked down ’who met after dusk that night, conversing until dawn’, and even marked the tree they were under.

However, based on this investigation of everyone’s whereabouts that night, no one harmed Yun Ran at the time.

After she left Princess Beili’s tent, she wasn’t attacked. She neither got attacked and fled into the mountains nor got knocked out and dragged into the mountains.

She went into the mountains herself.

What puzzled Nangong Mo was precisely this point.

He vividly remembered her appearance that night when he saw her—her eyes, her expression—as if she was bewitched, losing her senses, not even recognizing him.

Was it poisoning? Was she bewitched? Or something else?

No anomalies in the whereabouts doesn’t mean innocence; perhaps the waters run too deep, hidden too well.

Who wants to harm her?

Mrs. Lin’s siblings? Prince Rui? Nangong Ning? Or, the Crown Prince?

Or, the Beili people?

And then there was Ye Wushang, who repeatedly tried to assassinate her.

As the ’Absolute’ ranked assassin of the Yellow Springs Inn, he wouldn’t take action easily.

Though Yellow Springs Inn is in the business of getting paid to exact vengeance for others, an ’Absolute’ ranked assassin isn’t hired just for money.

According to the records, their targets are feudal lords, martial arts leaders, world champions, and even monarchs.

’Lin Wanyue,’ a mere lady of the inner chambers, rarely goes out, though a powerful minister’s daughter, she’s not favored.

Now married to him, albeit in the name of princess, yet he, King Qin, is but a blind and crippled prince without real power...

Really puzzling no matter how you think about it.

Could it be—that girl somehow offended the master of the Yellow Springs Inn, and that person, after discovering her secret of reincarnation, sent an ’Absolute’ ranked assassin to pursue her relentlessly?

Nangong Mo suddenly thought, with that girl’s knack for causing trouble, it’s not impossible.

Didn’t she frequently get chased and beaten across the mountains by her entire sect before? Single-handedly wreaking havoc within the entire sect...

Her presence here now was also because she dressed up as a bandit to rob her own senior brother and accidentally got struck by lightning...

Nangong Mo pursed his thin lips, instructing Feng Xuan to continue investigating, focusing on Prince Rui, the Crown Prince, Lin Haoran, and Xiao Mohan, not just on that day, but their actions over the past six months.

Feng Xuan immediately complied and presented another letter, "My lord, the detailed information you requested on Yu Qingyan."

Nangong Mo raised his hand to take it, casually leafing through it.

"My lord, though it can’t be confirmed if the cliff incident last time was intentional, this time with rumors rampant at Qishan, she can’t defend herself. Daring to scheme against the princess like this, shall I directly..."
