"Take me to see your prince immediately, or I will kill you!" Wen Shaojun tightened his grip, a fierce light flashing in his eyes.
The steward immediately turned red in the face and stammered, "Alright... Wen Chancellor, please don't kill me! I'll take you there!"
Inside the study, Tian Feinuo looked at these uninvited guests with displeasure in his eyes. "Wen Chancellor, didn't I say not to receive guests?" Damn it, how could this group have barged in?
They truly were reckless!
The moment Wen Shaojun, Luo Qingyun, and Hua Nongying saw Tian Feinuo, they were all stunned. Tian Feinuo felt their strange gazes on him and hurriedly turned his head away, taking a deep breath and gritting his teeth, "Have you seen enough?"
"What's wrong with your face?" Luo Qingyun asked hesitantly, suppressing a laugh.
Oh my, although he was very worried about Xiao Yun'er's safety right now, he really wanted to laugh crazily at Tian Feinuo!
Hahahahahaha...
Someone was already laughing uncontrollably inside.
Luo Qingyun's question left Tian Feinuo feeling embarrassed. He coughed twice and awkwardly said, "I don't know why, but when I woke up last night, my face looked like this!"
When he got up this morning and looked in the mirror, he was shocked himself.
His face was covered in red bumps; it was a sight too terrible to behold.
He had no idea why it had turned out like this!
Karma, it was truly karma!
Luo Qingyun scoffed disdainfully and said coldly, "Could it be that the prince has done something guilty?"
"What do you mean by that, Luo Qingyun?" Tian Feinuo noticed the underlying meaning in his words and asked displeased.
"Ma Lele went missing just yesterday, and coincidentally, you also had an incident yesterday and shut yourself away from visitors! Tell me, what connection could there be between these two events?" Hua Nongying immediately chimed in.
She exchanged a glance with Luo Qingyun, their understanding unspoken!
"Are you implying that I kidnapped the Wen Chancellor's fiancée?" Tian Feinuo was furious. He was already upset about his sudden change overnight, and now being falsely accused only fueled his anger!
"Isn't it true? The prince has always been targeting Lele!" Wen Shaojun's cold voice came through. At this moment, he wished he could tear the man before him into a thousand pieces. Tian Feinuo was one of the few who knew Ma Lele's identity, and he had a history.
If he couldn't be trusted, then who could?
"It wasn't me. If you don't believe me, feel free to search the estate!" Tian Feinuo laughed in anger. It seemed that Gu Yunniang indeed had many enemies; it was so difficult to get married!
He should really thank that ally!
"Qingyun, search!"
Wen Shaojun snorted coldly and said. Did Tian Feinuo think that saying this would make them believe he really wasn't involved?
The three began a thorough search of the Third Prince's residence, but despite scouring every corner, there was still no sign of Ma Lele.
As they were leaving, Wen Shaojun cast a deep glance at Tian Feinuo and meaningfully said, "Third Prince, we will be back!"
"Always welcome!" Tian Feinuo replied defiantly.
Watching them leave, a shadow crossed his eyes!
The butler stepped forward at the right moment, looking pitiful as he said, "My lord, they are too arrogant. Just now, they almost killed me. You must discipline them!"
Hearing this, Tian Fei Nuo's lips immediately curled into a smile. "You mean Wen Shaojun almost killed you just now?"
The butler nodded vigorously.
"Good. Very good. Then you should just go die!" Tian Fei Nuo's smile turned sinister as he suddenly reached out and grabbed the butler's neck, squeezing tightly.
The butler's face gradually turned purple, and finally, with a closing of his eyes, he died!
"Hahaha, Wen Shaojun, Luo Qingyun! I will never let you off easily!" Tian Fei Nuo's laughter grew increasingly ferocious and arrogant!
After laughing, his gaze deepened as he coldly commanded, "Someone, go to the palace and report to the emperor. Wen Shaojun and Luo Qingyun have broken into the residence of the Third Prince and killed my butler!"
Back at the inn, Luo Qingyun said, "Let's sneak into the Third Prince's residence tonight!"
"If we get caught, the emperor will definitely punish us!" Hua Nongying exclaimed in shock, her eyes filled with worry!
"I agree with Qingyun; that Third Prince is not an easy character!" Wen Shaojun's face already showed signs of deep fatigue after a day and night without rest. The thought of Lele possibly facing danger made his heart ache like a knife.
So no matter how great the danger ahead, he had to give it a try!
In the palace.
Tian Fei Nuo went straight to Zhaoyang Hall and indeed found Tian Fei Yao there.
He ordered someone to carry in the butler's corpse, causing everyone in the hall to change their expressions instantly.
"What are you doing?" At that moment, Tian Fei Yao was enjoying music and dance while drinking fine wine, surrounded by beautiful women. Seeing this scene, he quickly waved his hand to dismiss the dancers and asked in confusion.
"Your Majesty, please help my brother!" Tian Fei Nuo fell to his knees with a thud, his expression filled with sorrow. "Wen Shaojun and Luo Qingyun have gone too far. Today, they came to my residence and killed the old steward who has watched me grow up! Your Majesty, you must help me!"
Tian Fei Yao raised an eyebrow in surprise and asked, "What exactly happened?"
Tian Fei Nuo then detailed the incident of Ma Lele's disappearance, fuming, "Wen Shaojun and Luo Qingyun think I am still brooding over the last incident and have kidnapped Ma Lele. But they searched my entire Three Kings' Manor and still couldn't find her. In the end, out of anger, they killed my steward. The people in my household can testify to this!"
"Preposterous!" Tian Fei Yao slammed the table and shouted, "How dare Wen Shaojun be so arrogant within my Great Yue Realm! Someone, immediately arrest Wen Shaojun and Luo Qingyun and bring them to the Dali Temple for questioning! If this is true, a prince committing a crime is no different from a commoner!"
Hearing this, Tian Fei Nuo, who had been keeping his head down, couldn't help but curl his lips into a mocking smile.
"Take this." A tall man entered.
Because he was backlit, Ma Lele couldn't see his face clearly. As she stepped forward, she noticed that the expressionless man held a small pill in his hand.
The pill was small and exquisite, resembling a chocolate ball.
Ma Lele frowned and shook her head warily.
She pressed her hands tightly against her abdomen; if this were some poison that could endanger her child, she would rather die than take it.
Seeing her reaction, the man suddenly reached out and swiftly pried open Ma Lele's mouth. The pill slipped inside! With a quick motion of his hand, Ma Lele had already swallowed the pill.
