Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 96

Chapter 096 Dog Killer
County princess Hui Ning brought her maidservant all the way to the pavilion where she had left earlier, but she did not find anyone following her all the time.

However, when county princess Hui Ning walked into the pavilion, she found that there was no one in the pavilion. It was quiet and there was no movement at all. She couldn’t help but raise it tightly in her heart.

A pair of harsh eyes looked at the maidservant and the imperial guard beside him, “You guys wait here.”

After she finished speaking, she stepped down from the pavilion. Even if something really happened below, County Lord Hui Ning had to find a way to hide it. She hurriedly walked to an open space under the pavilion. The closer she got to the pavilion pillar in front of her, County Lord Hui Ning’s footsteps were unable to move. She was deeply afraid that she would see a scene that she could not accept.

At this moment, she suddenly heard something coming from under the pillars of the pavilion. Her face was slightly red, and she made up her mind to directly walk over.

However, the scene that came into view caused County Lord Huining’s eyes to widen in shock!

Her hand trembled as she pointed at the bottom of the pavilion pillar. The corner of her mouth twitched fiercely, “This … This …”

After a while, he still didn’t say anything in the end.

A surprised voice came from behind, “County Lord Hui Ning, what are you doing here?”

County Lord Hui Ning turned around and saw a man in a lotus-green robe walking over. The man’s robe was embroidered with two eagles with silver silk threads. His face was handsome and his black hair was tied up. He looked even more elegant, but the faint smile at the corner of his mouth gave off an unruly feeling.

County Lord Hui Ning did not expect to see him at this time. He forcefully endured the shock in his heart and unconsciously stood in front of the pavilion pillar. His face was crimson. At this moment, the man had already walked over and respectfully bowed. “Fifth Prince.”

Zhou Chongyu did not expect that he would encounter such a beauty just by strolling in the palace. Although County Lord Hui Ning was not comparable to Imperial Concubine Hua and Lan Shuya, she was still a rare beauty. Zhou Chongyu’s mood immediately became better. “County Lord, quickly get up. Why isn’t County Lord admiring the scenery on the pavilion? Instead, he came here to admire the scenery.”

She didn’t want to admire the scenery. She just wanted to catch the adulterer. Who would have thought that she wouldn’t catch the adulterer? Instead, she saw such a scene. It was simply embarrassing. “The pavilion is a little cold. It’s covered by the pavilion below. It’s much warmer.”

Zhou Chongyu believed it and immediately instructed the maidservant behind him, “Go borrow a cape from the royal sister.”

County Lord Hui Ning’s face flushed red. This was just an excuse he had given out. How could he really borrow the cape? “Your Highness, you’re welcome. It’s fine. I’m really not cold here. Right, my mother and I agreed to go see the Empress. Why don’t the Fifth Prince go with me?”

Right now, she only wanted to send the Fifth Prince away, and she could pull out any excuse.

However, just as County Lord Hui Ning finished speaking, a strange voice suddenly came from under the pavilion pillar. County Lord Hui Ning listened. Although he tried to pretend to be calm, his face was still slightly red. He coughed dryly and said, “Fifth Prince, let’s go now.”

Zhou Chongyu frowned when he heard this voice. He looked at county princess Hui Ning in astonishment, his gaze filled with doubt. “County princess, what kind of voice is this?”

County princess Hui Ning bit her lip and looked around. She asked doubtfully, “What kind of noise can there be? Why didn’t I hear it? Why don’t we go to the Queen’s first?”

The more county princess Huining concealed it, the more Zhou Chongyu felt that there was a problem here. “Wait, let me take a look first.”

Hearing this, County Lord Huining’s face turned pale, wanting to stop him again. At this moment, that strange voice came over again. It could be said that he had heard wrongly before, but now that the voice was so clear, it was impossible to fool him.

County Lord Hui Ning closed his eyes. Stop it now, Apparently, he had other intentions, Zhou Chongyu glanced at the county princess of Hui Ning. He looked in the direction where the voice came from and saw two furry white things lying under the pavilion pillar. One of them was lying on the ground, motionless. However, when the thing on his body moved, his body swayed and rolled his eyes. It was obvious that he was completely dead.

At this moment, one of them seemed to be madly moving about on that furry thing. Blood stains were all over its body, and there was a lot of blood on the ground. Just looking at it made people feel shocked.

When Zhou Chongyu saw this scene, his gaze was slightly cold. He pointed at the two things over there and his lips trembled slightly, “This … this!”

He turned his gaze to the blushing county princess of Hui Ning, and his gaze became a little more focused and probing. “County princess, what’s going on?”

County Lord Hui Ning moved his realization to the side and didn’t look at the two furry dogs. “How do I know what’s going on? I just came here and heard that something was wrong, so I came down to take a look. Who would have thought that I would see something?”

Zhou Chongyu pointed at him and said, “County princess is so bold.” Just as she said, she actually dared to come down alone to check.

Of course, there was another possibility. The two dogs were arranged by county princess Hui Ning himself, so he came down to check. No matter how he looked at it, Zhou Chongyu felt that the second possibility was a bit bigger. Who would have thought that county princess Hui Ning would be able to speak so heavily at such a young age?

County Lord Hui Ning felt a surge of anger in her heart when she heard this. However, the person who said this was the Fifth Prince. Even if she wanted to lose her temper, she could only endure it. She took a deep breath and could not suppress the anger in her heart.

His face was flushed red and he snorted coldly before he said, “Say what the Fifth Prince wants to say. Isn’t this insinuation trying to ruin my best friend’s reputation?”

Zhou Chongyu was choked by Hui Ning’s words. He coughed dryly, Thinking back to the other party’s ident. I.ty, He could only suppress the unease in his heart. Zhou Chongyu felt a bit more disgusted when he saw such a woman who did not change her expression. Even if he did not give face to county princess Huining, he would still give face to the eldest princess. “It’s my fault. County princess, don’t blame me. However, these two dogs are Imperial Concubine Hua’s pet. What should the county princess say now?”

Imperial Concubine Hua was in the Imperial Palace, The two mandarin ducks from San Francisco, Imperial Concubine Hua was bestowed by the Emperor, not even the Empress. This honor was the only one in the Imperial Palace. This pair of mandarin ducks were charmingly naive. Imperial Concubine Hua had been feeding them for a year. It was said that these two mandarin ducks were extremely doted on by Imperial Concubine Hua.

Right now, the two dogs were right in front of them. One of them was already dead. Zhou Chongyu didn’t want to go up against Concubine Hua. He looked at County Lord Huining’s pale face, so he smiled and said, “I remember that I still have something to do. Since County Lord feels warm here, I won’t disturb County Lord Huining.”

County Lord Hui Ning’s expression suddenly changed. He immediately grabbed Zhou Chongyu’s sleeve and said with a stiff expression, “Fifth Highness, wait a moment. Are you saying that these two things belong to Imperial Concubine Hua?”

Zhou Chongyu looked at the little hand pulling his sleeve and thought, “You can’t raise animals in the imperial palace. Only Imperial Concubine Hua was specially approved by the Emperor.” Therefore, everyone in the palace knew that these two items belonged to Imperial Concubine Hua.

County Lord Hui Ning immediately let go of his hand and said with a smile, “Your Highness, let’s go visit the Empress.”

Zhou Chongyu frowned as he swept his gaze over County Lord Hui Ning’s hand. He didn’t know what it would feel like to be touched by this small hand. He might as well sell her a favor. “Good, although the scenery today is good, we can’t delay our visit to the Empress.”

However, before the two of them could leave, they heard a burst of anxious footsteps moving in this direction. “Snowball, snowdot, where are you?”

Zhou Chongyu and county princess Hui Ning were both stunned. They exchanged a glance and wanted to leave quickly. However, just two steps away, a palace maid wearing an autumn-colored dress walked over from the path on the right. “Snowball, snowdot …”

After shouting twice, he suddenly saw county princess Hui Ning and Zhou Chongyu running over. Their faces were still filled with anxiety as they bowed respectfully and greeted, “This servant greets His Highness the fifth prince and county princess.”

Zhou Chongyu pretended that he didn’t see the anxiety on the palace maid’s face. He just wanted to leave early, “Get up.” If the snowball was found behind the pavilion pillar, the funds would probably not be able to escape today.

The palace maid did not notice Zhou Chongyu’s expression and continued to ask, “Thank you, Your Highness the Fifth Prince. This servant is brave. May I ask if Your Highness the Fifth Prince has seen Imperial Concubine Hua’s pet snowball and snow spots?”

Before Zhou Chongyu could say anything, he saw the county princess of Hui Ning anxiously say, “No.”

The palace maid was stunned and said respectfully, “Thank you, county princess. This servant can go look elsewhere.” However, at this moment, a strange cry suddenly came from not far away. This cry was very similar to the voice of the snow ball.

The palace maid was slightly stunned as she called out, “Snow ball?” The snowball seemed to respond to the palace maid’s words and shouted again. The palace maid walked forward in surprise. She did not expect that she had searched for so long. She had thought that she would be punished after returning, so the snowball came out.

She hurriedly ran over with the sound and saw fresh blood on the ground. Her figure flashed and she almost fainted. “Snow? Snow dots?”

She had the trust of Imperial Concubine Hua, so she was given the responsibility of taking care of Xue Tuan and Xue Dian. Who knew that she had only dozed off when Xue Tuan and Xue Dian disappeared? What she saw now was actually a crazy and dead dog. Her face was pale. She didn’t know if her life could be saved this time.

She rushed over hurriedly and was about to pull the snow away from the dead snow dot. However, the normally obedient snow dot suddenly revealed a ferocious look. She turned around and took a bite on the palace maid’s arm before continuing to run back to the snow dot.

The palace maid was bitten and immediately cried out in alarm. She climbed out and said, “Help! Someone, the snow is here!”

Just as the palace maid cried for help, county princess Hui Ning’s face turned even more pale. He strode in front of the palace maid and slapped her, “Shut up! Imperial palace is very important, how can I let you shout loudly?”

The palace maid was dumbfounded by the beating. She raised her head to look at the harsh-looking county princess of Hui Ning. Suddenly, she felt the killing intent in her eyes. Her body trembled. She looked at county princess of Hui Ning in horror, “It’s you, the snow ball and the snow spots you caused! I want to take you to see Concubine Hua!”

Now, if she couldn’t find the murderer, she would definitely die. Now, she had to break through the jar, hoping to catch the murderer and save her life. The palace maid suddenly jumped up, opened her hands and pounced towards County Lord Hui Ning …
