Chapter 113 Leaving without permission
"I'll give you a chance. Tell me who's behind this, and maybe I can spare your life."
Upon hearing this, the group of people looked at each other, and finally lowered their heads, not daring to speak.
Now I have been forced into a desperate situation and can no longer hide it.
"Since you don't say it, don't blame me for being rude."
Lu Ming snorted coldly and was about to order them to be arrested, but he saw an official in official uniform rushing over.
"Your Highness, please calm down. I am late. Please forgive me."
The official stepped forward and bowed.
"Who are you? What brings you here?"
Lu Ming looked at him, a hint of doubt in his eyes.
"I am a subordinate of Lord Li, the Jingzhao Yin. I learned that someone was causing trouble here, so I came to investigate."
The official quickly explained, "Your Highness, please rest assured. I will investigate this matter thoroughly and give the Crown Prince an explanation."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ming nodded slightly and developed a favorable impression of the official.
With this official's intervention, the matter will be resolved quickly.
"In that case, I'll leave it to you."
Lu Ming said lightly, then took Su Qiaoer's hand and turned to walk towards the mansion.
"Let's go back and let them handle this."
Su Qiaoer followed him obediently, and the two walked side by side.
Those who caused trouble left the Prince's Mansion in disgrace after being scolded by the officials.
After returning to the mansion, Lu Ming sent Su Qiaoer back to her room and told her to have a good rest.
Su Qiaoer nodded obediently and watched Lu Ming leave.
Lu Ming went straight to the study to deal with the next matters.
He knew that today's incident would not end so easily, and there must be a bigger conspiracy behind it.
Sure enough, not long after, a guard came hurriedly to report.
"Your Highness, Lord Li, the Prefect of Jingzhao, requests an audience."
Lu Ming raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and then ordered: "Please let him in."
Soon, Lord Li walked into the study with a serious expression.
"Your Highness, I have already thoroughly investigated what happened today."
Lord Li looked at Lu Ming and said in a deep voice, "Those troublemakers were instructed by others to come to the Prince's Mansion to cause trouble on purpose."
Lu Ming sneered when he heard this, "As expected, do you know who is behind this?"
Lord Li hesitated for a moment, then said, "According to their confessions, the person behind this is... Miss Lin."
"It is indeed her."
A cold light flashed in Lu Ming's eyes, and he already had some guesses in his mind.
The Second Prince has always been at odds with him, and this time he must be taking this opportunity to give him a warning.
Unfortunately, he miscalculated. He was not that easy to deal with.
"Master Li, thank you for your hard work."
Lu Ming looked at the official in front of him and said seriously, "I will remember this favor of yours."
Upon hearing this, Lord Li was delighted and quickly bowed, saying, "Your Highness, your words are too kind. I was only doing my duty."
"Anyway, I'll remember this favor."
Lu Ming said calmly, "If Lord Li has any difficulties in the future, just come to me."
Lord Li was overjoyed when he heard this. He never expected that he would receive a favor from the prince just because he handled a matter impartially.
This was a pleasant surprise for him.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Lord Li bowed and saluted.
Lu Ming nodded slightly and then fell into deep thought.
Now that it has been confirmed that the person behind the scenes is Miss Lin, how should we deal with it next?
Lu Ming's mind raced, and he soon came up with an idea.
"Master Li, I have a favor to ask of you."
Lu Ming looked at the official in front of him and said in a deep voice.
"Your Highness, please speak. I will do my utmost to assist you."
Lord Li said without hesitation.
"I would like you to help me secretly investigate Miss Lin's every move. If there is anything unusual, report it to me immediately."
Lu Ming said in a low voice, his tone revealing a hint of sharpness.
Lord Li was stunned when he heard this, then nodded solemnly in agreement.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely handle this matter."
Lu Ming nodded slightly and watched Lord Li leave.
He knew that this battle had just begun.
In the following days, Lu Ming appeared to be normal on the surface, but secretly he had made all the necessary preparations.
He sent people to secretly monitor Miss Lin's every move, and he himself was prepared to deal with emergencies at any time.
However, to his surprise, there was no movement from Miss Lin.
It was as if what happened that day was just a minor episode and did not affect her life.
Lu Ming was full of doubts, but he also knew that he couldn't take it lightly.
One day, he was handling official business in his study when suddenly a guard came hurriedly to report.
"Your Highness, Lord Li, the Jingzhao Yin, requests an audience. He has something important to discuss."
Lu Ming raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and a premonition arose in his heart.
Lord Li came here in such a hurry, something big must have happened.
He quickly put down the official business in his hands, stood up and went to greet him outside the study.
"Master Li, what's the important matter that has brought you here in such a hurry?"
Lu Ming looked at the official in front of him and asked in a deep voice.
Lord Li took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, I have just received news that Miss Lin has secretly left the capital and her whereabouts are unknown."
"what?"
Lu Ming's face changed when he heard this. "She left the capital? Do you know where she went?"
Lord Li shook his head. "I've already sent people to investigate, but there's been no results yet."
Lu Ming frowned, feeling an uneasy premonition in his heart.
Miss Lin's sudden departure from the capital must be due to some conspiracy.
"Master Li, this matter is of great importance. I'd like to trouble you to continue investigating."
Lu Ming looked at the official in front of him and said seriously, "If you have any news, report to me immediately."
Lord Li nodded in agreement, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely see to it."
Lu Ming nodded slightly, but his heart was already in turmoil.
Where did Lin Wan'er go after leaving the capital?
Or maybe her departure was just a cover, and her real purpose was still hidden in the dark?
Lu Ming's mind was full of thoughts, but he knew that this was not the time to think deeply.
He must act immediately and find out the truth behind Lin Wan'er's departure.
Thinking of this, he turned and walked towards the study.
"Somebody come!"
Following his command, a guard immediately appeared in front of him.
"What are your orders, His Royal Highness?"
The guard bowed and saluted.
"Immediately pass the order down and have everyone secretly track down Lin Wan'er's whereabouts."
Lu Ming looked at the guard in front of him and said in a deep voice, "Report to me immediately if you have any news."
The guards retreated upon hearing this.
Lu Ming looked at the guard's departing back, feeling somewhat uneasy.
Lin Wan'er's sudden departure from the capital must be a very serious matter.
He had a vague feeling that this matter might be related to the second prince.
Thinking of the second prince, a cold light flashed in Lu Ming's eyes.
If that's the case, he will never let the other party go!
In the following days, Lu Ming kept a close eye on Lin Wan'er's news, while also being on guard against the Second Prince's actions.
