Chapter 116: Chapter 116 - 58: Like a Spring Breeze Overnight (Part 3)

"Tsk, you’ve become much smarter."

Yun Wanye looked at her calmly and told her about the token issue.

"What? How could this happen?"

An assassination attempt on a princess, deliberately leaving evidence to frame Dad, what kind of person could come up with such a vicious plan?

Yun Wanyao was stunned. Having been protected too well since childhood, this was her first time directly experiencing the treachery of human nature.

"Did little sister say anything else? Like, who sent the assassins after the princess?"

If useful information could be gleaned from little sister, they could directly pinpoint their target, making it easier to unearth the mastermind. Even if he couldn’t find evidence, he could still use their own methods against them.

A glint of hostility quickly flashed in Yun Wanye’s eyes.

Yun Wanyao snapped out of it and shook her head slightly.

"No, little sister said that the plot has collapsed. According to the plot, the princess hasn’t encountered any assassination attempts so far. This time it was only little sister’s prediction, not part of the plot."

"Is that so..."

Yun Wanye was somewhat disappointed. It seemed that they could only wait for the results of King Qi’s investigation.

Da Wu Country strictly regulates iron ore. All iron mines belong to the court, and all agricultural tools, kitchenware, and other iron goods sold on the market must be processed by the court. The control over weapons is even stricter.

Yesterday’s group of over thirty assassins had used superb weapons; it’s hard to believe they wouldn’t be traced.

"It’s getting late, so hurry and come back soon. After you arrive at the Princess Mansion, do you know what to say?"

"I know," Yun Wanyao nodded, "I’ll say you told me when you came back, that’s how I knew about it."

"Yes, our Yun Family is in a troublesome time now, remember to be very cautious with your words. Think several times before speaking."

"I know, I know, you’re almost as annoying as Dad now."

Yun Wanye: "..."

While the dragon-phoenix twins were secretly discussing, Yun Wanqing, possibly due to a sibling connection, was also pondering over the princess affair while breastfeeding.

Unfortunately, she only had a nursemaid and a little maid beside her, neither of whom was from the Yun Family, so no one could hear her inner thoughts.

[Wait, wait, something’s off. I suddenly remember, even though up until now, the princess has only been pushed into water by Su Qianxue, everything has gone smoothly otherwise, but in the original plot, she also faced an assassination attempt.]

[In the original plot, it was briefly mentioned that to teach Su Qianxue a lesson, the princess pushed Su Qianxue into a lake. Since there were no witnesses at the scene, and with her princess status, Su Jian could not do anything with just Su Qianxue’s words, so the matter was left unresolved.]

[Just when everyone thought the matter was settled, the princess was attacked, but was luckily saved by Yun Wanye who had been secretly protecting her all along.]

[The Emperor was enraged afterwards and ordered King Qi to investigate, but found all sorts of evidence pointing at the Yun Family, the most detailed of which was a Black Iron Order inscribed with ’Duke Ning’.]

[The assassins clearly tried to frame the Yun Family; good grief, so has the plot looped back to the original one now?]

[Not just this time, many plots have circled back to the original, what on earth is going on? My CPU is almost overheating, still no clue what’s happening.]

[Is it possible that except for the female lead, everyone has been reborn?]

[Oh my, adding one more transmigrator like me is fine, but now with everyone reborn, this is beyond ridiculous!]

[I can hardly imagine how chaotic the future plot will become.]

[Wait, right now the most important thing is whether the Yun Family has been framed just like in the original plot.]

[If it follows the original plot exactly, we are in trouble.]

[The perpetrators completely disguised themselves as Dad’s subordinates for the operation. After the failed operation, the flaws intentionally exposed were all traps set for Dad, including those weapons used by the assassins which were built under Dad’s name at the Weapons Supervision.]

[All these weapons are registered, easily traceable back to us. By then, even if the Emperor and King Qi are aware Dad has been set up, no evidence will be found to prove it.]

[Sigh, being anxious is useless. I have no way to tell Dad who the real culprit behind the princess’s assassination is~]
