Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 744

The guards opened the door curtain and came in. When they saw only Qin Yi and Cai Yi who was lying on the ground, their faces turned ghastly pale. "Her Highness has been taken away by the assassin?"

Qin Yi knew that they must have misunderstood, so she pointed at Cai Yi on the ground and said, "She is the assassin. Just now, she attacked Lady Rui with another two assassins. Lady Rui knocked Cai Yi to the ground, and her accomplices ran away from the window. Her Highness followed them out. Leave two of you to take her away, and the rest of you should hurry up to chase other assassins. It's raining so heavily outside and Her Highness is pregnant. If anything happens to her, I'm afraid we can't bear the consequence."

The leader of the guards was a little surprised. "But isn't this Cai Yi who is serving in the palace? How could she become an assassin? Besides, we were patrolling outside just now and didn't see any assassin."

"Her Highness is missing. Have you seen her? Go and find her!" Qin Yi looked pale and raised her voice.

"Hurry up. You two, go to report to His Majesty. And you two, take her away. The rest of you, go with me." Seeing that Qin Yi was so agitated, the leader of the guards ordered and took the lead out of the bedroom.

After the two guards took Cai Yi away, Qin Yi was pacing back and forth in the hall, her face full of anxiety. She regretted that she hadn't stopped Yun Shang. How could she let the pregnant princess run in the rain? It was getting dark and the rain was getting heavier. It had been an hour since the guards went out, but there was still no news. Qin Yi became more and more worried.

Suddenly, Qin Yi heard footsteps coming from outside. She was overjoyed and hurried out of the inner hall, only to see Xia Huanyu rushing in from outside.

"Your Majesty." Qin Yi curtsied to him in a hurry.

Xia Huanyu walked to a chair and sat down. He looked at Qin Yi and asked hurriedly, "What happened? The guards' report made me confused. What on earth happened? Where is Lady Rui?"

Qin Yi hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the maid Cai Yi who was sent serve Her Highness by Lord Liu, allied with some outsiders and tried to assassinate Her Highness. Cai Yi was caught and knocked out by Her Highness on the spot, but her two accomplices had run away from the window, and Her Highness followed them out. The guards have gone to look for them, and there is no news at present."

"Nonsense." Xia Huanyu suddenly patted the armrest of the chair and said, "How could she chase the assassins in person? She has been pregnant and it's raining so heavily outside."

Qin Yi knelt down in a hurry and dare not to say a word.

"Liu Wenan, ask the imperial guards to search for Lady Rui. If Lady Rui can't be found, you will all die." Xia Huanyu's face darkened.

Liu Wenan looked pale. He received the order and left in a hurry.

Sitting on the chair, Xia Huanyu didn't say anything more. Without his order, Qin Yi didn't dare to stand up. It was not until Liu Wenan returned to the palace that Xia Huanyu asked Qin Yi again, "Why did Cai Yi assassinate Lady Rui? And how did she do it? "

Qin Yi replied in a low voice, "I don't know why I assassinated you. After the accident in Prince Ray's mansion, only two maids were brought into the palace by you. Two days ago, Liu Chang drowned in water. The eunuch suspected that it was Qian Yin who did it, so he took her away. Later, Qian Yin and her eunuch disappeared. I was unable to take care of everything alone."

Having served in the Palace of the State of Ning for so many years, Qin Yi knows well how to report to masters. After a pause, she continued, "Since Cai Yi has served in Taiji Palace, Her Highness trusts her very much. I was on duty for several nights, and today Her Highness asked Cai Yi to serve her in the bedroom, but I didn't expect such a thing. It was not until Her Highness voice sounded that I hurried into the bedroom, so I really had no idea what had happened before I came in.

Xia Huanyu nodded slightly and turned to Liu Wenan, "Tell me about Cai Yi's background."

Knowing that the maid he sent to Zhaoxia Palace might be the assassin, Liu Wenan was a little nervous. He quickly said, "Cai Yi could be considered a senior maid in the Palace. She entered the Palace nine years ago. After being eliminated from the selection, she stayed in the Shangyi Bureau for a period of time. Three years ago, she was transferred to Taiji Palace, mainly in charge of lamps in Taiji Palace. Considering Lady Rui only brought two maids with her when she entered the Palace, I planned to arrange some servants for her. But it was too late that night for the Imperial Household Department to make any arrangement, so I selected eight servants from Taiji Palace to serve Her Highness temporarily. Cai Yi was relatively senior among them, so I asked her to lead them. "Lady Rui has been in the State of Xia less than a year while Cai Yi entered the Palace nine years ago. How could she assassinate Lady Rui?" Xia Huanyu frowned and said, "Ask the Neishi Bureau to bring Cai Yi's file here."

Liu Wenan replied in a low voice and left the hall.

After waiting for some time, there was still no news. Xia Huanyu couldn't sit still any longer. He stood up and said, "Bring the commander of the imperial guards here.

He had barely finished his word when he saw a slim figure coming in from outside. The person was thoroughly wet, with messy hair and pale face.

It was just Yun Shang.

Qin Yi finally had a smile on her face. Looking at Yun Shang careful, Qin Yi felt a little relieved that Yun Shang was not hurt except being a little messy.
