You were taken hostage, why pursue the Enemy's Empress?

Chapter 18 – I have the right to flip the table

Ying Wuji looked up and down at Hua Chao and asked, "So you're saying that you were intentionally framed?"

"Yes," Hua Chao nodded.

Ying Wuji asked again, "Since it was intentional, why didn't you report it to the authorities?"

"Because I can't explain it clearly," Hua Chao sighed. "To be honest, although I am a singer, my biological father is the current prime minister. Not many people in Jiangcheng know about this, but there are some."

Ying Wuji nodded slightly, Hua Chao seemed to be sincere.

Hua Chao continued, "I am passionate about music and don't understand politics, but the prime minister informed me of this matter last night and explained the interests involved. Although I was framed, I was the only one who played this requiem. In addition, the prime minister advocates the theory of 'qianhuo', if this matter becomes big, he won't be able to dissociate himself from it. When Qianli and Liangguo go to war, the people will suffer and I will not be able to live as I did before. I either have to sacrifice my life to the two countries' diplomatic relations or hide in the minister's mansion for the rest of my life, never seeing the light of day."

Ying Wuji's gaze slightly condensed, feeling that what she said made sense.

Actually, from the moment he heard about Hua Chao's identity, Ying Wuji felt that something was off. If the prime minister really wanted to kill him, he would send someone who had nothing to do with him. It didn't make sense to send his rumored illegitimate daughter out.

Of course, to completely clear Hua Chao's suspicion, they still had to wait for the person who gave her the Hu tune to be caught.

Seeing that Ying Wuji didn't speak, Hua Chao looked cautiously at the sword on his shoulder and said, "Sir, can you put down your sword?"

"You can, but don't think about running away," Ying Wuji nodded and put the sword on the table.

Hua Chao finally let out a long sigh of relief. Her calm emotions finally showed a slight fluctuation, and she gently wiped her reddened eyes.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door and a middle-aged man's voice sounded outside.

"Sir Wuji, Chen Wei, the commander of the Flying Fish Guards, requests an audience!"

"Come in!" Ying Wuji said.

Chen Wei pushed open the door and subconsciously took a step forward, but was glared at by Ying Wuji.

He was startled and saw Ying Wuji tighten his grip on the sword handle, and quickly said, "Sir Wuji! The woman in front of you is the prime minister's daughter, don't act impulsively, please don't go down the path of crime!"

When he was ordered to come, his superiors repeatedly reminded him that this hostage was already crazy and he had to be extremely careful.

He only dared to come in after hearing that Ying Wuji had put down his sword, but he didn't expect Ying Wuji's guard to be so strong.

Ying Wuji glanced at him and said, "Just say what you need to say, you don't have to be so close."

"Ah!" Chen Wei hurriedly said, "I came here on orders to give you an explanation. The investigators found traces of poison at the scene, and it has been confirmed to be related to Miss Hua Chao. After negotiating with the prime minister, we have already begun to investigate the whereabouts of that musician."Ying Wuji's heart grew cold. The Flying Fish Guards had discovered the truth from the very beginning, but the two kingdoms chose to keep it under wraps.

His hostage for exchange was really worthless!

When Ying Wuji saw Wu Shuangxu, she had already changed from her Mohist swordsman attire to her Flying Fish Robe. In such a short time, she first led away the experts who were secretly protecting Hua Chao, and then was able to retreat unscathed and return to the Flying Fish Guards to carry out the mission silently.

He didn't know how she did it.

Wu Shuangxu noticed Ying Wuji looking at him, so she tilted her head and blinked her left eye expressionlessly.

This secret assistance should come to an end.

"Phew!"

After walking away, Ying Wuji finally breathed a long sigh of relief. "It's really exciting!"

Wu Dan couldn't help but praise, "Brother Wuji, you're really ruthless today!"

Bai Zhi was a little unhappy. "You only know how to talk. When the young master was in trouble, you didn't say a few words!"

Ying Wuji smiled and waved his hand. "Don't make things difficult for him! At least we have the Kingdom of Qian backing us up. His mother country is still being beaten by the Flame Kingdom and now he's staying in the Kingdom of Li. It's already not easy for him to stand up for us."

Bai Zhi snorted, only able to express her agreement.

If this sentence was said by the previous young master, she would definitely refute it.

But now... whatever the young master says is right!

Ying Wuji took out a note from his pocket. It was thrown by Wu Shuangxu just now, and the action was very secretive, so no one else should have noticed.

Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the ]"

Opening the note, there was only one line written on it: The Flying Fish Guards have sent out a team of experts to specifically track down the culprit. Just wait patiently.

Looking at it... tonight should be a success.

...

The city of Jiang returned to tranquility late at night.

But everything that happened in the bamboo garden today had been written into a confidential report and quietly sent to the palace.

The Qian Kingdom's royal palace, the Qiqi Palace.

The residence of the Crown Prince, the Qingjiang Palace.

A handsome young man read the confidential report, with a slight smile on his lips.

"Ying Wuji? Quite a clever person."
