The ancestor is here, she is here with space

Chapter 296 Assassination

Fang Xinfeng asked thoughtfully, "Grandmother, do you also think that the Fifth Prince did it?"

Lin Congyun shook his head: "It's impossible. The Fifth Prince doesn't have the courage or the ability to do that. There must be a truth behind this that we don't know."

"So what should we do now?" Fang Xinfeng asked, "Should we continue investigating?"

"Investigate, of course we have to." A cold light flashed in Lin Congyun's eyes, "However, we can't investigate openly, we can only investigate secretly. Moreover, we must speed up the progress, otherwise there will be more trouble."

"Yes, grandson understands." Fang Xinfeng nodded in agreement.

Why would Lin Congyun suddenly call Fang Xinfeng from Bianyun Pass to the capital?

That was because when the Third Prince was captured, he wanted Mo Yunqi to make a human skin mask for the Third Prince. Unexpectedly, Mo Yunqi had made a human skin mask for the Third Prince under the instructions of the Second Prince before, and placed it in the Second Prince's mansion.

After getting the human skin mask of the third prince, Lin Congyun thought about finding someone to impersonate the third prince.

However, the noble aura of the Third Prince is not something that an ordinary person can fake. After much thought, she decided to let Fang Xinfeng pretend to be the prince.

So, she immediately wrote a letter and sent it directly to Bianyun Pass through space, insisting that Fang Xinfeng return to the capital as soon as possible.

Fortunately, when Lin Congyun left Bianyun Pass, he left the jade pendant in the capital at Bianyun Pass. In this way, it only took one space to get from the capital to Bianyun Pass.

Fang Xinfeng did not disappoint her expectations. He successfully impersonated the Third Prince and even deceived the First Prince and others who were present at the time.

However, the Third Prince had successfully escaped from the dungeon twice. Apart from those assassins, there was no other support from the Second Prince's mansion. Lin Congyun really didn't believe it.

However, after investigating for several days, they still haven't found the contact. It's as if the other party knows what they are thinking and hasn't revealed any clues.

The more this happened, the more uneasy Lin Congyun felt, as if a storm was about to come.

"Grandma, what do you think we should do next?" Fang Xinfeng couldn't help but ask as he looked at Lin Congyun's frowning face.

"Next, what we have to do is..." Before Lin Congyun could finish his words, hurried footsteps were heard outside.

"Second brother, are you there?"

The voice of the Seventh Prince sounded outside.

"The Seventh Prince is here, you go hide in the secret room first." Lin Congyun said, standing up and opening the shelf in the study, revealing the secret room behind it.

Fang Xinfeng stood up and walked quickly into the secret room.

When Lin Congyun saw him go in, he turned around and opened the door.

"Second brother, something happened!" said the Seventh Prince anxiously.

"What's wrong? What happened? Tell me slowly." Lin Congyun let the seventh prince into the study and closed the door.

"It's the fifth brother. The fifth brother was assassinated!" The seventh prince's words shocked Lin Congyun.

"What? The fifth prince was assassinated? How seriously injured? Is his life in danger?" Lin Congyun asked several questions in a row.

The Seventh Prince shook his head. "I don't know, I don't know. I just received news that my Fifth Brother was assassinated on his way back home. He is still alive or dead. I have sent someone to get information. There should be news coming back soon."

Lin Congyun frowned. Was he assassinated?

How could he be assassinated?

Who did it?

Could it be the eldest prince?

But the eldest prince shouldn't dare to act so blatantly now, right?

The Fifth Prince is currently investigating the authenticity of the Third Prince. He was assassinated at this time. Could it be that someone is desperate?

"Second brother, what do you say we should do now? If something happens to fifth brother, we..." The seventh prince looked at Lin Congyun with a worried look on his face.

"Don't be anxious, wait for news." Lin Congyun said in a deep voice.

All they can do now is wait for news.

The fifth prince was assassinated and his life or death is unknown. This news was like a huge rock, weighing heavily on the hearts of Lin Congyun and the seventh prince.

They waited anxiously in the study, and every moment seemed like torture.

Finally, after a long wait, footsteps were heard outside, followed by a knock on the door.

"Come in." Lin Congyun said in a deep voice.

The door was pushed open, and a guard walked in quickly, "Second Prince, Seventh Prince, I got the news."

"Hurry up and tell me!" the seventh prince asked anxiously.

"The fifth prince was assassinated and seriously injured, but he has been rescued and brought back to the palace. The imperial physician is doing his best to treat him." The guard said truthfully.

Hearing that the fifth prince was not in danger of life, Lin Congyun and the seventh prince both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Do you know who did it?" Lin Congyun asked in a deep voice.

The guard shook his head, "We don't know yet. We didn't leave any clues."

Lin Congyun frowned and did not leave any clues, which showed that the other party came prepared and did not want them to find any clues.

"Second brother, what should we do now?" The Seventh Prince looked at Lin Congyun and asked.

"Let's go see the fifth brother first." Lin Congyun said as he stood up and walked out.

The Seventh Prince nodded and followed.

The two men came to the Fifth Prince's house and saw the Fifth Prince lying on the bed with a pale face, his clothes stained with blood.

"Fifth brother!" The Seventh Prince rushed to the bedside and looked at the Fifth Prince with a worried look on his face.

Lin Congyun looked at the imperial physician standing beside him and asked, "How is the fifth brother?"

"In reply to the Second Prince, the Fifth Prince's injuries are serious, but his life is not in danger. I have already given the Fifth Prince medicine, and he will be fine as long as he rests well for a period of time." The imperial physician said truthfully.

After hearing what the imperial physician said, Lin Congyun felt relieved.

She looked at the Fifth Prince lying on the bed with a frown on her face. Who on earth wanted to kill the Fifth Prince?

"Second brother, we can't just let this matter go. We must find out the real culprit behind this and avenge fifth brother!" The seventh prince clenched his fists and said angrily.

Lin Congyun nodded, "Don't worry, I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter."

Their eyes all turned to the Fifth Prince lying on the bed, their eyes full of determination.

At the same time, in a corner of the capital, a man in black was reporting the situation to another person.

"Master, the fifth prince has been assassinated and is seriously injured." The man in black lowered his head, not daring to look at the person in front of him.

"Well, I see. You did a good job." The man in front of him nodded with satisfaction. "Is there any movement from the Second and Third Princes?"

"My lord, they are all in the Fifth Prince's residence now." The man in black answered truthfully.

"Okay, keep watching them and report to me if there is any movement." The man in front of him instructed thoughtfully.
