Chapter 416 Dead End
The maid Aman heard the princess' scream and ran in in a panic: "Princess, what's wrong with you?"
"The ring, the ring on my hand, it's gone!" Princess Ruili turned over the pillow and quilt in panic.
She must find the fatal ring as soon as possible!
Ancestor Qinglian said that if the poisonous insect could not suck her blood, it would wake up.
The day the poisonous insect wakes up will be the day she dies!
No matter where she escapes, the poisonous insect will track her down and suck all her blood!
Aman also vaguely knew that this was the "immortal weapon" given to the princess by the Qinglian Patriarch. With this ring in hand, the princes and grandsons of the royal family of Da Chu would crawl at the princess's feet, be devoted to her, and come when she was summoned and go when she was called.
She also became anxious: "Did the princess take off the ring last night?"
"No! The ancestor said that this ring must never be taken off the body, how could I take it off?" Princess Ruili's face was pale.
"Could it be..." Ah Man hesitated, "that the prince took it away last night?"
The person who was with Princess Ruili last night was the Prince of Huainan.
Princess Ruili shook her head: "It's not him! When he left, the ring was still in my hand."
In fact, she was afraid that the love poison would lose its effect over time, so she secretly gave him a shot while they were making love last night.
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. She rummaged through the room and even crawled under the bed without caring about her image. But the dazzling red ruby ring that was soaked in her blood seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth and she could not find it no matter how hard she tried.
Princess Ruili sat on the ground with disheveled hair and a grim face.
How to do?How to do?
A huge fear gripped her heart tightly. She grabbed A-man and cried, "I don't want to die, I don't want to die! A-man, save me, save me..."
A'man was trembling with fear. She didn't understand. Even if she lost the "immortal weapon" bestowed by the Qinglian Patriarch, it wouldn't be a crime punishable by death, right?
Last time the princess accidentally broke the magic mirror, didn't the ancestor not punish her? Instead, he had someone send another one over.
"Princess, please go and beg the old ancestor. He will definitely forgive you..."
Princess Ruili's eyes sparkled with hope: "Yes, yes, I will go and ask the ancestor for help. He will definitely find a way!"
She rolled and crawled to the dressing table, took out the bronze mirror from the secret compartment, knelt down, and cried, "Grandmaster Qinglian, Grandmaster Qinglian, please forgive me, save me, save me..."
Nangong Xihe's handsome face slowly emerged on the bronze mirror.
He saw Princess Ruili, who was disheveled and in tears, and asked with disdain: "Why are you so flustered?"
Princess Ruili rushed to the bronze mirror as if she had seen a savior, crying, "Ancestor, save me! The ring is gone!"
Nangong Xihe said coldly: "Didn't I tell you again and again that you can't leave this thing?"
After leaving southern Xinjiang, poisonous insects are hard to find, and the existing ones are one less if we use them!
Princess Ruili cried out of breath: "I have always been very careful. The ring was still on my hand last night. After I woke up, it disappeared inexplicably! I couldn't find it no matter how hard I looked!"
Nangong Xihe's mind turned and he immediately understood.
After Yun's death, the little fairy was so smart that the love Gu must have been exposed!
From this, the fairy could associate the abnormality of Princess Ruili with something.
Maybe she was the one who took the ring!
Now that this foreign woman has been exposed, there is no point for her to stay alive!
Nangong Xihe snorted coldly.
Princess Ruili cried, "Grandfather, what should I do?"
Nangong Xihe slowly revealed a sinister smile on his face: "If I were you, I would wash my face, comb my hair, put on the most gorgeous clothes, and die beautifully."
Princess Ruili was startled, then burst into tears, "No, I don't want to die! Grandfather, please have mercy on me and let me go..."
She knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously, until her forehead was broken and covered with blood.
But the Qinglian Patriarch in the bronze mirror disappeared without hesitation.
"Grandmaster, please don't go, please don't go, please save me, please save me..."
Princess Ruili cried until she was hoarse.
A'man standing by was shaking with fear. The princess was being blamed by the Qinglian Patriarch and was about to die?
I wonder if it will get me into trouble?
When Aman thought of this, he was so scared that he rushed out of the room.
Jiang Li and the other two here were also paying close attention to the poisonous insect.
She discovered that the poisonous insect sealed in the ruby began to move.
When she probed her spiritual sense into the ring again, Jiang Li sensitively "saw" that the front limbs of the insect moved slightly!
"It's moving, it's moving!" Jiang Li whispered.
Yin Jiu stood up and said to a secret guard outside the door: "Immediately take people to surround the Pagan Temple. Don't let anyone escape, and don't let anyone find you!"
"Yes, my lord!"
Xie Changan added: "Every half an hour, have someone come back to report the situation inside."
The secret guard took the order and left.
The insect's movements became louder and louder. First, a few of its limbs trembled slightly, then its eyes opened, and it began to move in the narrow space.
It was not until the evening that the poisonous insect, probably because of hunger, began to become restless and kept gnawing at the inner wall of the ruby.
Jiang Li estimated that once it bit through the gem, it would crawl out from inside and follow the scent of Princess Ruili!
Intelligence from the secret guards also continued to flow in.
"Princess Ruili's room was in a mess. She was frantically searching every corner of the room, as if she was looking for something."
"The maid A-man packed up the princess's belongings and tried to escape, but was caught by our people."
"Princess Ruili smashed the bronze mirror on the dressing table and everything else in the room that could be smashed."
……
Jiang Li's lips curled slightly. Is Princess Ruili crazy?
Well, anyone would be terrified if they knew their death was approaching.
At this time, the secret guard came again and asked: "Princess Ruili is packing her bags and intends to escape. Should we let her leave?"
Yin Jiu looked at Jiang Li.
Jiang Li smiled slightly: "Don't let anyone go!"
Aman's confession was also delivered.
After she was detained by the secret guards of the Eastern Depot, she initially denied everything and said she knew nothing. She only said that the princess seemed crazy, so she wanted to escape.
But when the torture instruments of the Eastern Depot were put on display, Aman was so frightened that his face turned pale. He immediately confessed everything.
Including how she got the magic mirror from the disciples of Qinglian Sect, how the Qinglian Patriarch appeared in the mirror, how he taught Princess Ruili the art of "love poison", and promised that he would make her wish come true and marry Duke Dingguo in the future.
Even the story of Princess Ruili being gifted a "magic weapon" by Patriarch Qinglian, which states that as long as she presses the mechanism and lets the fine needle in the ring hit the target, that person will fall deeply in love with the princess and be devoted to her, as well as which princes and sons of kings the princess has deceived, is told in detail.
Jiang Li and the others were speechless for a moment after reading the confession.
This princess is so hopelessly stupid that she actually believed the mirror monster's words and took the initiative to plant the love poison!
Jiang Li glanced at Xie Changan with a half-smile: "Blue men are the root of trouble!"
