Chapter 164 It’s better not to let me catch you
Cang Mo fed Chu Ci the medicine and the meal, then coaxed her to sleep.
At night, Princess Jingle brought people to visit Chu Ci. Cang Mo stopped them directly with a very unhappy look on his face, "She's already asleep. Go out and talk."
Jingle glanced inside and saw a figure lying on the bed, motionless, probably asleep.
When they came to the outer room, Cang Mo closed the door directly and asked, "What are you doing here?" Cang Mo's face was very cold, and he didn't even have a good expression in front of everyone.
"Brother Rui, where are Lin Feng and Yun Sheng?" Princess Jingle looked left and right curiously, but after searching for a long time she still couldn't see Lin Feng and Yun Sheng.
"Go find out the truth!" These few words were few, but they hit Princess Jingle's heart like a heavy hammer.
Princess Jingle blinked. It seemed that Brother Rui was serious this time. They were both investigating the same thing at the same time. The last time they did that, they were quickly investigating spies from other countries. That incident had shaken the foundation of the country.
Princess Jingle glanced at the other young ladies, then stood up first, walked before Prince Rui, and bowed gently. The other young ladies from the noble families followed Princess Jingle's lead and knelt. "Brother Rui, the Princess of Chaoyang County suffered such a serious injury today. We have a heavy responsibility."
"If we hadn't gone riding, Princess Chaoyang wouldn't have been so badly injured," we are willing to apologize to Princess Chaoyang.
Prince Rui looked at each of them with cold eyes, scanning each of them. "I have already asked people to investigate. The truth will be known soon. When the time comes, whoever is responsible will be held accountable. I will definitely not let anyone go."
He couldn't believe it was such a coincidence that when Chu Ci got into trouble, there was no one around her. They must have known that something was going to happen and were afraid of being implicated, so they all ran away. Otherwise, just the three words "Princess Rui" would be enough for them to show their courtesy.
No matter how powerful the eldest princess is, she is just a princess and will need support in the future.
The daughters of the noble families looked at each other, and no one dared to say anything.
Princess Jingle walked over to Cang Mo and sat down. "Brother Rui, what are you investigating? Wasn't it Princess Chaoyang herself who fell off the cliff because she couldn't control her horse properly?"
Princess Jingle finished speaking and winked at the girl in green clothes beside her.
The girl was full of reluctance, but finally, under the coercion and inducement of Princess Zhan, she reluctantly stepped forward and pouted, "That's right, Prince Rui, when the Princess of Chaoyang County was in trouble, there was no one around her. How could she have been framed?"
Prince Rui glared at the young lady, "If I were you, I wouldn't stand up, lest you be among the ones to be reckoned with later."
"Besides, it's not right that she has no talented people around her. Considering her status, she is the Princess Rui, personally appointed by my father. Not only is she deeply loved by my father and mother, but she is also the Princess of Chaoyang County. She should have many people around her."
"None of you are by her side right now. I don't need to explain why. What's even more coincidental is that the maidservant beside her was injured these past two days. I won't talk about Chu Zhen. I sent so many people to guard Princess Rui's courtyard. How could a little maidservant be taken away without a fuss? Do you think I'm a fool?"
As Cang Mo spoke, he looked at Princess Jingle coldly.
"Actually, there's no need to investigate further. It's just that my princess is determined to find the main culprit and the accomplice. If I tell her, I'll just beat them all to death."
The daughters of several wealthy families were all trembling. Although they did not believe that King Rui would dare to beat them all to death, they had no problem killing a few of them. They were afraid that they would be those people.
They retreated to the corner, lowered their heads, and what they wanted most now was to disappear on the spot.
When the princes saw that the beauties they brought with them had become like this, they quickly interrupted them to prevent them from beating the young ladies and frightening them to death.
"Brother, since Princess Zhaoyang is sleeping now, we won't disturb her. We'll leave first." Several princes stood up and were about to leave when Lin Feng and Yun Sheng came back, holding the groom in their hands.
As soon as the groom came in, he saw Princess Jingle standing in the middle of the crowd. He looked at her for help, wanting her to save him.
When Princess Jingle saw the groom, she swayed a little, then glanced back at him viciously, warning him not to talk nonsense.
The groom shuddered all over, and his neck, which was originally stretched out, shrank like a turtle.
Prince Rui saw all of this. He looked at Princess Jingle with a sinister look in his eyes, and the coldness emanating from him became increasingly intense. "Turn around and look at me with both eyes."
The groom knelt on the ground, looking at King Rui obediently, feeling that he was about to be torn to pieces by King Rui's sharp eyes.
"Tell me, who did that to the horse?"
The groom looked at Princess Jingle, and Princess Jingle turned her head to the side. Only then did he realize that he had been abandoned.
King Rui didn't want to waste time, so he glanced at Lin Feng who was standing aside. Lin Feng went up and broke the groom's hand.
The severe pain was so severe that the groom could no longer bear it. He rolled on the ground holding his broken arm, "I say it was Princess Jingle, the eldest princess of Jingle, who asked me to introduce the horse to His Majesty. But I can swear that I absolutely did not do anything to the horse."
Cang Mo turned to look at Princess Jingle, and saw her proudly rolling up her sleeves, walking to the groom's side, and giving her a hard slap in the face. "I, the princess, am warning you, you'd better not say anything nonsense, or I'll have someone rip out your tongue."
"You have to understand. Frame the eldest princess, but it will implicate your family. You'd better think it through."
Cang Mo just sat on the chair, watching Princess Jingle's actions silently without any expression.
Everyone else fell silent. At this moment, anyone who spoke would be in trouble.
In fact, they all knew that it was Princess Jingle's doing, but no one dared to say it.
The groom lowered his head and kowtowed to Cang Mo repeatedly, "Your Highness, I know I was wrong. Your Highness, I was wrong just now. All of this is my fault. I only ask for death. Please grant me death."
Prince Rui walked up to the man. Just when everyone thought he was going to kill the groom himself, Rui Wan turned around and slapped Princess Jingle in the face. "You threatened him to change his confession in front of me. You don't take me seriously at all."
"We know exactly what's going on here. I think you're living too comfortably."
Princess Jingle covered her face and looked at King Rui in disbelief, "Brother Rui, you actually hit me for that little bitch?"
"Everyone, get out of here. This matter won't just end like this. We have a score to settle. Jingle, you'd better not let me get hold of anything, otherwise—"
That night, Cang Mo was afraid that something might happen to Chu Ci, but he didn't dare to go to bed and sleep next to her for fear of crushing her, so he just spent the whole night on the floor.
