Chapter 1396 - 1480: Identifying the Spy
"Let’s go."
Dong Huiying temporarily put aside these messy matters. After all, some things are hard to figure out now even if you rack your brains. It’s better to maintain a calm mindset; after all, one should tackle things as they come.
Dong Huiying looked at Ji Jiuhuang, seeing the silly Ninth Princess angrily glaring at Yun Ge, who had previously pulled her away from Dong Huiying. She couldn’t help but chuckle, then took a few steps forward and gently held the Ninth Princess’s hand.
"Let’s find a room first, so I can take her pulse again. Besides, according to the Prince, she seems to be on the verge of waking up, isn’t she?"
Prince Meng nodded seriously, "Indeed, Ninth Sister wakes up once in a while, but the duration isn’t long, and she mostly remains in a muddle-headed state."
"Whether this madness needs treatment, and whether she trusts me, can wait until she regains clarity. We’ll ask her opinion then."
After Dong Huiying said this, it elicited a cold snort from Yun Ge. Yun Ge’s gaze, sharp as a knife, shot towards Prince Meng, seemingly remembering the unhappy moments Prince Meng had caused her before.
Being used to Yun Ge’s sharp glares, Prince Meng stayed calm, adapting well. Now, when she saw it, it was as if she didn’t see it. After all, perhaps they were naturally at odds? Yun Ge didn’t like her, and she didn’t like Yun Ge either.
After being held by Dong Huiying, Ji Jiuhuang seemed particularly excited, even making a face at Yun Ge, as if insinuating Yun Ge was a pighead?
Yun Ge was furious. If Liu Yan and Hong Fei hadn’t held her back, she might have rushed forward to give Ji Jiuhuang a beating.
This person with a mad temperament and a childlike nature appeared simple and straightforward but occasionally came up with clever tricks, truly leaving people speechless.
Dong Huiying took a step forward but seemed to remember something. She unhooked an embroidered pouch from her purple long skirt and took out a packet of powder. "I think I’d better help you out, do some screening."
Prince Meng looked puzzled, "What does this mean?"
Then, she scattered the powder, letting the winter wind blow it towards the guards following Prince Meng.
"What is this?" Prince Meng asked with a questioning look.
"Just watch, it can identify the spies."
Prince Meng: "??? "
Afterward, as these people inhaled the powder, Dong Huiying asked, "Whom do you serve?"
Most of them, in a daze, answered that they served Prince Meng, but a few... "Prime Minister!" "Qinghe Zhengjun!"
Dong Huiying: "I think you should know how to handle this."
She gave Prince Meng a faint smile before leading Ji Jiuhuang forward.
Prince Meng’s pupils shrank.
Prime Minister?
This Prime Minister wasn’t Xiao Cheng but was promoted after the Eighth Princess took power. This current Prime Minister was initially in the military.
As for Qinghe...
Prince Meng’s face turned as dark as a burnt pot bottom, exceptionally unsightly. Even though the preceding events had already served as a warning, making her realize that there might be other spies among her trusted aides, she never expected there were so many, and so deeply hidden!
There were not only Qinghe’s hidden agents but also spies placed by the current Prime Minister at her side!
The feeling was like swallowing a fly—utterly disgusting.
Prince Meng swung her long sleeves and, with a chilly fury, ordered, "Arrest these people for me!!"
