BXBX NOVEL Chapter 143 - 143 Killing the Princess
Kong Rui was surprised that Chao Bai could accurately find Nie Yin’s courtyard.
“Why did you want to come here?” Kong Rui asked.
“I sense that thing here!” Chao Bai said nonchalantly, not intending to explain further.
“What is it?” Kong Rui was even more curious. As she followed Chao Bai towards a certain direction, she couldn’t help but ask.
“You’ll know when we get there!” Chao Bai replied perfunctorily again.
Kong Rui raised her eyebrows, but didn’t continue asking.
With the protection of Chao Bai’s invisibility technique, they could get around much easier.
Nie Yin’s courtyard was much larger than Li Ling’s.
As Kong Rui followed behind Chao Bai and walked along a path lined with willow trees, a small courtyard door appeared in front of her. There were all kinds of potted plants and decorations in the courtyard, and there was even a rockery pond.
Kong Rui couldn’t help but sigh. This was only Nie Yin’s temporary residence in the capital, but it was almost half the size of the Li family’s residence!
The last time she came late at night, she didn’t realize that there were so many things here!
However, Nie Yin was about to marry the princess. This was probably a small gift of “sincerity” sent by the queen!
Kong Rui was about to walk forward when Chao Bai grabbed her arm and stopped her.
Chao Bai pulled Kong Rui behind a huge banyan tree.
A small group of guards quickly appeared from the entrance of the courtyard and quickly passed by the tree. They didn’t look like the guards patrolling the Nie family, but more like a guard team from the palace.
Could it be that the queen had specifically sent someone to monitor the Nie family’s residence?
The Nie family and the royal family had fallen out?
As soon as the small group of guards passed, Kong Rui vaguely heard voices coming from the courtyard.
“He’s gone! Let’s continue!” A voice sounded. Kong Rui recognized this voice. It was the voice of an elder of Nie Yin’s.
It seemed like they were secretly plotting something and didn’t want to let the queen’s people hear them!
Kong Rui and Chao Bai looked at each other and saw the same thought in each other’s eyes.
The two of them walked along the wall to the entrance of the courtyard and leaned against the wall to listen to the commotion inside.
Kong Rui knew that with Nie Yin’s current strength, even if they walked closer, they wouldn’t be able to discover them.
However, she couldn’t guarantee that Nie Yin didn’t have other powerhouses with him. To be safe, it was better to stay away.
However, this distance made Kong Rui unable to hear their conversation, making her a little frustrated.
Chao Bai noticed Kong Rui’s frustration and took out an exquisite shell-shaped thing from his storage space.
“What is this?” Kong Rui looked at the thing and asked curiously.
Chao Bai smiled and formed a hand seal with one hand, then pointed at the shell.
Chao Bai brought the shell to Kong Rui’s ear.
Kong Rui clearly heard Nie Yin’s voice coming from the shell.
“What is this? A mouthpiece?” Kong Rui looked at the shell in surprise.
Chao Bai then pressed his finger to his lips and shushed him.
Kong Rui immediately covered her mouth and listened attentively to the conversation between Nie Yin and the others.
“My agreement with the Queen has not been finalized. Now that the princess is seriously injured, it’s impossible for her to get married any time soon.” Nie Yin’s voice sounded very gloomy.
“If you guys can’t reach an agreement, our plan will probably continue to be delayed!” Someone said in an indignant tone.
“This won’t do! We have to think of a way. Otherwise, if there are any more abnormal movements on the Spirit Mountain, we’ll…” The person paused, as if he was hesitating about something.
Nie Yin’s voice sounded again. “Is there no other way?”
The previous person said, “There are only two ways now. Either you marry the Princess, and thenwe can go to Spirit Mountain as a matter of course.”
“Or…” That person’s voice became even more sinister. “Kill the Princess to avoid future trouble!”
