The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 914

Chapter 914: 420 Reunion (second update)

Since the other party had chosen Yuan Tang as the scapegoat, his life should be safe for the time being, at least until the wife of Prince Rui could testify against him.

Gu Jiao left Prince Rui’s mansion.

She boarded the Medical Hall’s carriage.

She had not gone far when the carriage was stopped by someone.

It was Yuan Tang.

Yuan Tang approached the carriage, lifted the curtain, and said to Gu Jiao, "I thought about it all night after returning to the palace yesterday. The more I think about it, the more something seems off. You just asked me if I had any connection with the crown princess of Zhan Country, and then I was chased down for murder. Tell me honestly, do you know something? Is this matter related to the royal family of Zhan Country?"

Gu Jiao replied indifferently, "No comment."

If I tell you the truth and you reveal your whereabouts from that day, making a perfect alibi for yourself, then the wife of Prince Rui would lose her value in pointing the finger at you.

And that would put the wife of Prince Rui in danger.

So, for the safety of the wife of Prince Rui, I’ll let you, distinguished Prince Chen of Yuan Tang, endure some hardships for now.

Gu Jiao seized the curtains, smiled, and said, "There may be continuous assassination attempts against you these days. Be careful."

Having said that, she let the curtain fall and told Xiao Sansi, "Let’s go!"

The carriage sped away!

Yuan Tang was so angry he started hopping.

"Hey, hey! Make yourself clear! Who is trying to assassinate me?"

Ah!

This girl!

Speaking half-truths, how infuriating!

Yuan Tang exploded on the spot, roaring, "Girl! Don’t think you can stay out of this! If someone wants to kill me, couldn’t they also go after you? Do you think you can escape? You’ve been in this with me from the start!"

Gu Jiao wasn’t truly letting Yuan Tang face danger. Since the other party had failed an assassination attempt and had no clear read on Yuan Tang’s capabilities, they would likely not act a second time too quickly.

...

Before noon, Gu Jiao arrived at Sihai Villa.
