Song Chuyu rushed over and saw Yan Fei's body with his own eyes. He was greatly shocked and stammered, "This..." Although he didn't have much interaction with Yan Fei, earlier Song Jinyu had asked their father for him, hoping that Yan Fei could take Song Qinzhou as his adoptive father. Therefore, their relationship could be considered close.
Now, the man was lying cold on the ground. And his younger sister Song Jinyu looked completely distraught.
"Brother, Yan Fei he..." Song Jinyu couldn't go on. She raised her tear - filled eyes, which made Song Chuyu's heart ache. "What's going on?" Cheng Song told Song Chuyu what had happened to Yan Fei, who died at the gate of Prince Yu's Mansion.
"It's impossible. Prince Yu wouldn't kill Yan Fei," he said. He knew the relationship between Yan Fei and Song Jinyu. How could Prince Yu hurt Song Jinyu?
But...
Song Chuyu then thought of Zhongli Mingye's terrible possessiveness towards Song Jinyu and began to have some doubts.
Cheng Song and Niaoniao looked at Song Jinyu. They knew that the young lady would surely avenge Yan Fei. "Please, brother. Let Yan Fei be enshrined in our family's ancestral hall, okay?"
If possible, she would be willing to die in Yan Fei's place. Just now, she had examined Yan Fei's wound. The fatal blow was right in the chest.
There was a thin sword mark on his chest.
The black blood that flowed out and the still - unrigidified corpses of the insects. Hehe... Song Jinyu was gradually getting a clear idea of the origin of the murderer.
How could she forget? More than a year ago, she was forced off a cliff by those people.
Now, they had killed Yan Fei.
If she hadn't taken Yan Fei to the Land of Paradise for adventure, with Yan Fei's peak - level skills, he wouldn't have died so miserably.
The more Song Jinyu thought about it, the more she hated her own willfulness.
"What if it really was Prince Yu?" Song Chuyu didn't know what else to say. How could it be? Why did Yan Fei show up at the gate of Prince Yu's Mansion?
Cheng Song tightened his grip on the sword hilt, and Niaoniao also showed extreme hatred.
Song Jinyu slowly closed her eyes. "It's impossible. He wouldn't kill Yan Fei..." Zhongli Mingye,
How could that man be willing to hurt her family?
No matter how sad she was at the moment, Song Jinyu always firmly believed that Zhongli Mingye wouldn't kill Yan Fei.
"I'm afraid something has happened to Tianmen Mountain!"
She said this silently, forcing back the mouthful of fresh blood that was about to gush out. "Please, brother, bury Yan Fei and let him be part of our Song family."
"Yan Fei has saved my life. Without him, there would be no Jinyu today." Every word was filled with grief. She bit her lips hard, which made Niaoniao and Cheng Song very sad.
Song Chuyu knew it would be difficult, but he had no choice but to agree.
After making the arrangements, she took the newly - made pinewood spirit tablet with her. On that very day, she was about to set off for Tianmen Mountain.
Just then, Zhongli Mingye suddenly showed up. "You're not allowed to go. You can't go anywhere before our wedding."
But what he received was Song Jinyu's cold face.
He endured the pain in his heart. Did she suspect that he had killed Yan Fei? "I've said it. You should obey me!"
Before Song Jinyu could say anything, he deliberately avoided looking into her sad eyes. "Guards! Keep a close eye on the young lady. If she dares to leave Liuzhou City, come and see me with your heads!"
Song Jinyu's hands trembled. She wanted to go up and slap him, but she couldn't bear to...
Suddenly, she ran into the room frantically and slammed the door shut.
Zhongli Mingye was left standing in the courtyard alone. He remembered Yan Fei's words clearly.
Yan Fei had risked his life to reach Prince Yu's Mansion. He must have known that only he had the real power to stop Song Jinyu. It was a pity that he was dead.
Otherwise... the situation wouldn't be so tense.
Song Chuyu asked him one more question. He only heard Prince Yu say coldly, "The wedding will be held as scheduled on the third day of the fourth lunar month!"
After saying that, he strode out of the Song Mansion. Before leaving, his phoenix - like eyes looked meaningfully at the closed door. Like him, Yan Fei also hoped that Song Jinyu would be safe.
Tianmen Mountain was already a dead end. Only by staying by his side could Song Jinyu be safe.
This was also Yan Fei's last wish.
But... would Song Jinyu understand his good intentions? Zhongli Mingye was extremely annoyed, and the next piece of news gave him even more headaches.
"My lord... the master of Tianmen Mountain has passed away!"
He punched the wall. His previously scabbed wound became swollen and red again. But Zhongli Mingye didn't feel the pain. It was as if he had punched a cotton - padded wall.
How could he tell Song Jinyu this sad news? She was already heart - broken because of Yan Fei's death. Now, the master she respected had also passed away.
Just when Zhongli Mingye was having a headache, Song Jinyu escaped!
"You useless fools!"
Qing Feng stepped forward and said carefully, "My lord, the young lady drugged all the guards and then escaped."
"Then why aren't you going after her?"
If Miao Yunshen had really passed away, then Song Jinyu would surely be in great danger. He knew very well about the Crown Prince's hostility towards Tianmen Mountain.
The Crown Prince! The Golden Water Palace... Zhongli Mingye became even more furious. "Send a message to the Prince of Zhongzhou."
"Deal with Ouyang Weiyi!"
He made a gesture of killing.
Now, as long as the Golden Water Palace was in chaos, the Crown Prince would lose his composure. Ouyang Jinse's whereabouts were currently unknown. After Ouyang Weiyi was seriously injured, he had been recuperating in the Golden Water Palace.
The current plan was to keep the Crown Prince from having the time to care about Tianmen Mountain and to let the Emperor know about the crisis in Tianmen Mountain.
Song Jinyu...
He must stop her. Otherwise... Song Jinyu would end up like Yan Fei. Zhongli Mingye didn't dare to imagine what would happen to him if he lost Song Jinyu.
Xing Jian strode in. He was about to say something. Because if Prince Yu directly intervened in the affairs of Tianmen Mountain, it would surely arouse the Emperor's suspicion.
At this sensitive moment, Zhongli Mingye mustn't take risks.
"Don't say anything more. Jinyu is mine..."
Before riding out of the mansion, he looked back at the plaque of Prince Yu's Mansion. For the past twenty years, he had been cautious and had tried his best to be a good prince and a good lord. But now, he just wanted to be Zhongli Mingye, the Zhongli Mingye who belonged to Song Jinyu.
He rode his horse in a hurry. Xing Jian had no choice but to lead the shadow guards to follow.
Although the situation was unexpected, he only hoped that she would be safe and sound.
Song Jinyu, Song Jinyu, Zhongli Mingye smiled bitterly. All these things happening together were too much of a coincidence. His phoenix - like eyes gradually turned cold. Who was scheming behind all this?
The master of Tianmen Mountain had passed away, and Yan Fei, who was on good terms with Song Jinyu, had died on the day of her coming - of - age ceremony. Was all this aimed at Song Jinyu?
Qing Feng followed him out of the city, but they couldn't find Song Jinyu's trace.
"Maybe she hasn't left yet! This is the shortest way to Tianmen Mountain." Zhongli Mingye stopped and carefully arranged the official business in Liuzhou City.
"My lord! If... the Emperor knows that you've gone to Tianmen Mountain... he might suspect you!" Qing Feng said helplessly and anxiously.
"Jinyu needs me!"
After saying that, he lowered his head and deployed many forces. At the same time, he arranged for the shadow guards to follow in advance.
