Being a Lady of an Influential Family: 351, Assassin?
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the attendant waiting for Prince Asaph to go out stood outside the door and looked down at the watch on his wrist anxiously.
Although the council hall is only a ten-minute drive away from the mansion, but after all, it is more appropriate to go earlier to prepare.
They are used to Asaph's usual style, and naturally they can guess what he is doing so late. It doesn't matter on weekdays, but if everyone waits today, it will inevitably make foreign messengers feel that the Nagas have no manners.
After a moment of hesitation, the attendant went forward and knocked on the door.
There was no answer from the inside. After a short pause, the attendant knocked on the door again, "His Royal Highness? It's almost time for us to set off."
The room was still silent, and the attendant frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong. The knock on the door was a little more urgent, "Your Highness, are you inside?"
"..." The people around him looked at each other in dismay, and the attendant looked back at the people behind him for a few times, then gritted his teeth and twisted the doorknob, "His Royal Highness, we're in."
The door opened silently, and the spacious and gorgeous bedroom was quiet and silent, as if no one had ever slept.
Is Your Highness not here?
The attendant's heart jumped wildly, and the unease in his heart was even more obvious.
He hurried into the bathroom to find that no one was there and rushed to the cloakroom.
The scene inside made him even a little weak for a moment, and he took a few steps backward before finally standing against the wall, "Your Highness... Your Highness..."
Others also noticed that something was wrong and rushed in. As soon as they entered the door, they saw that in the cloakroom, which was larger than ordinary people's bedrooms, a maid was unconscious by the side of the wardrobe, and the other maid was lying on the ground in the center of the room. And not far from her, Prince Asaph was sitting against the wall.
Prince Asaph's eyes were closed, his lips were white, and he was obviously out of breath.
"Your Highness is dead?!" Someone couldn't help but let out a shrill cry. The next moment, the siren in the mansion sounded hastily, and the originally quiet villa exploded in an instant.
In the meeting hall of the Naga Capital City Council, the Dragon Governor and the Deputy Minister Lu were sitting and chatting leisurely.
Ambassador Cui was invited by the Naga to speak on the other side.
Several Anxia's young elites also stood around talking in twos and threes, but intentionally or unintentionally separated the Dragon Governor and Deputy Chief Lu from the surrounding people.
Whoever wants to talk to them will have to at least get past the two young marshals.
Second Lu glanced at the clock on the wall without a trace, turned his head to the side of the Dragon Governor and said in a low voice, "It's twenty past four."
Dragon Governor casually touched the bridge of his nose, the smile on his face unchanged, "What's the hurry, it's still early."
Secretary Lu nodded, glanced at Fu Fengcheng, who was sitting not far away, and couldn't help sighing, "Young people today are amazing."
Dragon Governor said, "What? Is there pressure?"
Secretary Lu said, "It's really a bit, don't tell me you don't. The little leopard from the Fu family didn't trouble you, did he?"
The Dragon Governor chuckled, "Isn't that a little leopard? That's already the king of beasts, maybe even more powerful than his father."
Secretary Lu raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he didn't expect the Dragon Governor's evaluation of Fu Fengcheng to be so high? "Then Ah Yue..."
Dragon Warden shook his head and said, "Probably able to be evenly matched before last year? It's hard to say now..." He couldn't help but sighed and didn't continue.
Secretary Lu smiled, "It's rare that you are willing to admit defeat."
"It's not a question of admitting defeat? No one can tell what will happen in the end." Throughout the ages? It's not always heroes who have the last laugh.
The two chatted casually as the time approached 4:30.
Not a single person in charge of Naga's authority appeared, which made the invited guests from all over the world a little dissatisfied.
This time it was the Nagas themselves who asked to make up the five-nation talks? Turned around and started another rebellion.
The embassies of various countries are forced to stay in the embassies and can't go anywhere? Now they say they want to hold a meeting to announce the important things? The principals still don't show up and only let some unimportant people receive them? This is too arrogant .
Secretary Lu and the Dragon Governor exchanged a look? He didn't say much, but his face also showed the same dissatisfaction as the representatives of various countries.
At this moment, Zhuo Lin and Leng Sa walked in arm in arm? Or, Leng Sa walked in with Zhuo Lin's wrist.
Zhuolin was wearing a simple and elegant dress, but the shoes were not matching high heels, but a pair of loose flat shoes, which seemed to be somewhat inconsistent with her dress.
Leng Sa was wearing a simple and elegant embroidered cheongsam, with two sapphire hairpins **** in her hair.
Wearing a pair of high heels? It makes her slender and taller? She is slender and attractive.
The arrival of the two beauties naturally attracted the attention of many people? Some people soon noticed the slight unnaturalness of Zhuo Lin's actions.
A Naga official who knew Zhuo Lin hurriedly stepped forward to ask? Zhuo Lin just said in Naga lightly that she accidentally slapped her foot when she was about to go out, so she wasted a little time.
"Are you alright?" The Dragon Warden walked up to the two? He looked at Zhuo Lin and asked.
Zhuolin shook her head and said, "It's alright, I'll be fine tomorrow."
The Dragon Governor nodded his head and his eyes fell on Leng Sa. Mrs. Fu Shao was dressed in bright clothes, delicate and beautiful, and there was nothing inappropriate about her body.
The Dragon Warlord, who still knows a little bit of common sense of women's dressing, has no choice but to suspect that Leng Sa has already completed his mission and returned.
Leng Sa supported Zhuo Lin, tilted her head slightly and pursed her lips and smiled, "Overseer, is there anything wrong with me?"
Dragon Governor narrowed his eyes slightly, nodded and said, "Very good."
Smiles coldly, "I feel pretty good too."
A hand gently wrapped around Leng Sa's slender waist, Leng Sa turned around and saw Fu Fengcheng's handsome face unsurprisingly.
Dragon Governor waved his hand with a smile, "You young people are reluctant to be separated for a while. If Arlene doesn't dislike it, you should support me." As she said that, she stretched her arm over, and Zhuo Lin directly supported me without rejecting it. Holding the arm of the Dragon Supervisor, "It doesn't matter, I'll go sit there for a while."
The Dragon Warlord nodded and walked with Zhuo Lin to the place where Deputy Secretary Lu was not far away.
Fu Fengcheng took Leng Sa into his arms and walked to the other side with her, "Is Madam okay?"
Leng Sa slightly lowered her head and smiled, "Do you think I look like something is wrong?"
Fu Fengcheng raised her chin to look carefully, stroked the corner of her eyes lightly, and said, "I have dark circles under my eyes. Are you tired?"
Although it was perfectly concealed by eye makeup, Fu Fengcheng, who knew Leng Sa, could still see it from a short distance.
Leng Sa leaned against him with a smile, "It's a little bit." I didn't close my eyes all night last night, can I not be tired?
"Fu Shao, Mrs. Fu Shao." Song Lang walked over with a tall and burly man who was obviously of foreign blood.
The two immediately turned to face the person who came, and Song Lang introduced to the two, "This is Zhe Ran, the chief assistant of the Dayin Foreign Affairs Office, and I am an old acquaintance."
"Mr. Fu, Mrs. Fu, I have long admired the name." This person looks like he is only in his early thirties. To have such an identity is either an extraordinary family background or an extraordinary ability.
The other party politely extended his hand to the two of them, and Fu Fengcheng also reached out to shake his hand, "Mr. Zhe Ran is polite."
The man named Zheran shook hands with Leng Sa and did not forget to praise Leng Sa's beauty. Although the Dayin people gave most Anxia people the impression of being a barbarian, this Mr. Zheran at least In terms of etiquette, it is quite in place.
When they finished their greetings, Song Lang said, "Mrs. Fu Shao, Zhe Ran said he had something to talk to you about."
Leng Sa was stunned for a moment, and when he looked at Song Lang again, he immediately understood.
Smile clearly and make a gesture to Zheran, "Mr. Zheran, let's talk here?"
Zhe Ran was obviously very happy with Leng Sa's good talk, and nodded quickly and smiled, "No problem, you two please. Alang, you really are my best friend."
"..." Song Shaoshuai smiled without saying a word, it won't be too late to tell me this after you have experienced the power of the Fu family.
Seeing that the time is approaching five o'clock, the people who should be there are still not there.
The unpleasantness accumulated in the hearts of the guests who were invited either voluntarily or by force was even greater, and this unpleasantness was also vaguely mixed with some unease.
Leng Sa and Fu Fengcheng are sitting in a corner of the hall talking about business with Zhe Ran who was introduced by Song Lang.
This Mr. Zheran is not only the chief assistant of Dayin Foreign Affairs Office, but also the top three business giants in Dayin in his own family, specializing in mineral energy.
Zhe Ran didn't come here to promote his own minerals, but he was very interested in the new car that Song Lang boasted about. However, I heard that the six southern provinces are not considering exporting cars to foreign countries recently, and they were tempted to buy ten cars first, following the path of Song Lang, a shareholder.
Ten cars are no longer a small business. After all, a new factory that has just been put into production can successfully roll off more than 100 cars a month. Moreover, Leng Sa feels that Anxia's current spending power and the sedan market are actually very limited, and they are planning to produce some other cars. It's just that the orders in the six southern provinces are in short supply and they have already been placed until next year.
But since Song Lang personally introduced him, and Mr. Zhe Ran's special status, this face must be given anyway.
In less than 20 minutes after some bargaining, the two sides happily reached an agreement. When they were about to shake hands again, a group of people walked into the venue quickly.
"It doesn't seem right." Zhe Ran raised his eyebrows slightly and whispered.
Fu Fengcheng glanced at the door, "The entire venue was surrounded by Naga soldiers."
Wen Yan Zheran couldn't help frowning, stood up and glanced outside with a dark face, "What do the Naga want to do?"
Song Lang also raised his eyebrows slightly, "Could something happen again? If I say that the Naga people shouldn't hold this meeting at all, this is obviously a rush."
The head of the group of people who walked in was Zana, the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The others with him were also powerful and powerful figures in Naga, who looked familiar at first glance.
But at the moment, their faces are not very good-looking, obviously something really happened.
Zana walked to the podium in front of the venue and raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
When the venue gradually quieted down, Zana said solemnly, "Everyone, I'm sorry to keep everyone waiting. Now... we have to announce a sad news. Just an hour ago... The Fifth Prince Asaph was assassinated. dead."
"..." There was a moment of silence in the venue, and after a few seconds, people seemed to finally react to the uproar.
Invited to the meeting, they naturally knew what the Naga wanted to announce.
It's no secret that the situation in the Naga capital these days and the lines of people from all sides. The rebels preemptively occupy the entire capital, and it is no secret that they want to establish the Fifth Prince as the new Naga king and force him to the throne. But who would have thought that just an hour before the announcement, Prince Asaph was assassinated?
Everyone's first reaction was: Prince Carlos strikes quickly! Deliberately choosing this time point is simply a slap in the face to these rebels.
It can be seen that although Prince Carlos is in the palace, he has not completely lost control of the capital.
Some people couldn't help but look at Ambassador Anxia, who accepted the request to protect Princess Naga and Princess Leia. Is it because he has a good eye or is it really that good for Anxia's personal relationship with Carlos?
"Since that's the case, shall we say goodbye first?" someone said. The main lord is dead, and the Nagas must not have the heart to hold a meeting.
Zana said, "Please stay safe, everyone, it's very dangerous if the assassins haven't caught it yet."
Everyone is a smart person, and some people reacted quickly, "What do you mean? You suspect the murderer is among us?!"
"That's right! You Naga, don't involve us outsiders in your own infighting! We have already come to the venue, who knows how Prince Asa died?"
The dissatisfaction was quickly spread, and these outsiders didn't have much friendship with Prince Asaph, and it was almost enough to say a few beautiful scenes. If the Nagas wanted to frame the Assassins on them, they would not be polite.
The Naga officials quickly explained that they didn't mean it, but that the assassin was a dangerous person who could kill Prince Asa silently. Naga is also for the safety of the distinguished guests. Now the Naga soldiers are searching the whole city. They are also worried that the soldiers will offend the distinguished guests because they are not sensible.
Perhaps because of the sincerity of the Nagas, or because of the soldiers with guns at the gate, no one had to leave in the end.
"I don't know what happened to His Highness Asaph..." Ambassador Cui looked at Zana who came to apologize and asked with concern.
Zana shook his head and sighed lightly, "It was poisoning. The doctor has checked the composition and source of the poison. It is a poison that can paralyze the heart, and it is very common in the black market." Common usually means The source is very difficult to check.
After hearing this, Ambassador Cui couldn't help frowning, "Poison? Someone sneaked into the heavily guarded mansion and put the medicine into His Highness's dining room? This is too..."
Zana's expression was a little solemn, "No, someone forced the medicine into His Highness's mouth."
"This is too..." Ambassador Cui shook his head, "If there is anything from the Naga side that needs our cooperation, please feel free to speak up. Regarding His Royal Highness Asaph... I also ask you and your family to express our condolences."
Zana thanked him and turned to speak to the ambassadors of other countries.
Cui Dashi turned around and looked at Deputy Chief Lu. Neither of them said anything else, and they staggered their eyes and communicated with the people around them.
Because of Prince Asaph's death, the atmosphere in the entire venue was a little tense and solemn. It was not until nearly nine o'clock in the evening that everyone was told that they could leave.
After returning to the embassy, everyone was told by the long-awaited counselor that Naga had sent someone to the embassy in the evening to inquire about the situation and itinerary of everyone in the embassy.
Ambassador Cui asked everyone to go back to rest, and then went to the conference room with the counselor with Vice-Chang Long Long.
Leng Sa and Fu Fengcheng returned to the room as if nothing had happened.
Go back to the room and check the whole room to make sure that there is nothing that shouldn't exist, Leng Sa breathed a sigh of relief and threw himself on the bed.
This day and night, she was really tired.
Fu Fengcheng walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, reaching out to take out the hairpin on her head and put it aside.
Leng Sa's hairstyle looks very beautiful tonight, but it was done in a hurry. After spreading the hair, the innermost strands of hair are still a little wet.
"It's hard work, let's wash first. I'll have someone prepare food." Fu Fengcheng said softly.
Leng Sa nodded but didn't move, and asked in a low voice, "How did I arrange my schedule from last night to this afternoon?"
Fu Fengcheng chuckled lightly, leaned over and put his forehead against her shoulder and said, "Last night, Madam naturally went back to the room with me to rest. I got up at eleven this morning, had breakfast and lunch in the room, and went out. After a short walk, I sat in front of the living room window, read a book and ate snacks for a while. I took care of my appearance at 2 o'clock in the afternoon and prepared to go out. But when she was going out, Ms. Zhuo sprained her foot, so Mrs. stayed to accompany Zhuo. The lady waited until she felt less pain before setting off for the Council Chamber. Before and after... only an hour later than us."
Leng Sa frowned, "Why did I sleep until eleven o'clock?"
Fu Fengcheng let out a low laugh, raised his head and gave her a meaningful look.
Leng Sa was stunned for a while, then suddenly woke up and couldn't help gnashing her teeth, "Fu Fengcheng, you ruined my reputation!"
Fu Fengcheng's slender fingers gently lifted the first button on her neckline, "Madam, do you want to try it?"
"Go!"
Knowing she was tired, Master Fu was joking of course.
Sighed softly and said in a low voice, "No flaws left?"
Leng Sa shook his head, "Don't worry, even if someone really informs, the Nagas know that we did it, and they won't be able to get the evidence." With their identities, the Nagas can't do anything without conclusive evidence. .
Fu Fengcheng nodded, "Mrs. hard work."
Stand up and hugged the person, "Hey, what are you doing?!"
Fu Fengcheng said, "Madam has been working too hard. I will wait for Madam to take a bath."
"Fuck you!" This kind of face will only get thicker and thicker!
"You're welcome ma'am, this is what I should do."
