For half a month, Yan Xiubai was dragged by the old emperor to ask the immortal building to refine the pill and cultivate, and the number of times he could leave the palace was not much, not only Yan Changsheng was unhappy, but he himself was about to be unbearable, he was now surrounded by the scent of sandalwood from the inside to the outside, and he felt that he was about to become a Taoist priest in the Pure Yang Palace.

The changes in the old emperor, Yan Xiubai saw it in his eyes, perhaps because he knew that he was old and didn't live long, and he now had a tendency to become more and more crazy.

The government is completely ignored, and the ministers are not seen, and they stay in the fairy tower all day long, looking for immortals, and want to pursue immortality.

Thanks to him, Yan Xiubai's reputation in the court is not very good now, probably an image of a minister who bewitches the king's heart and harms the world.

Fortunately, Yan Xiubai didn't care too much, compared to his reputation, the emperor's favor that swished and rose was what he valued, just for this, he practiced medicine quite hard, so that the old emperor could live longer, and his attribute value could also rise more.

And this calm did not last long, at the end of the month, the eldest prince suddenly died, was killed in his bedroom, and was killed with a knife!

The death of the eldest prince was like a thunderclap, which exploded over the capital, and everyone was stunned.

When the third prince received the news, he stumbled under his feet and almost fell to the ground, his mind was in chaos, and only one thought kept spinning: he actually did it...... He actually did............

The autumn wind was blowing, and his back was already soaked with cold sweat......

The eldest prince is the queen's concubine, and he is the most likely person to inherit the throne, and how many important ministers of the court have pressed the weight on him, and his death is like pouring a scoop of water into an oil pot, and it is completely boiling.

No matter how bent the old emperor is, the one who died is his son after all, a prince, the dignified prince was killed in his mansion, and he died quietly, so many guards did not find out, how terrible and ridiculous it was.

Breaking into the prince's mansion today and quietly killing a prince, will he break into the palace and kill the emperor next time?

The old emperor vomited blood again and fell ill, this time he was angry, he was furious, the emperor was angry, the whole capital was in turmoil, everyone in the court was in danger, the first unlucky thing was the innocent guards of the Great Prince's Mansion, there were only a few who survived with all hands and feet, and then the Jingzhao Mansion and the city guard camp responsible for the security of the capital, the old emperor made a clear decree that the case must be solved within a month, otherwise they will go underground to the Great Prince to plead guilty!

The death of the eldest prince is too involved, so the court will not talk about it, and even the queen in the harem has gone crazy, after all, the queen is such a son, it is strange if she is not crazy.

The capital is turbulent, Yan Xiubai has become a little transparent again, and the imperial historians who participated in his performance a few days ago naturally can't take care of him anymore, Yan Xiubai found an opportunity and left the palace.

As soon as he returned to Yan's mansion, he was pulled away by Yan Huaiqing, and the two quietly went to see the third prince together, he is now a henchman of the third prince, and the death of the eldest prince is such a big deal, so naturally he will be called over to discuss.

This discussion lasted all afternoon, and when he returned, it was already dark, and he politely declined Yan Huaiqing's request to invite him to have dinner together, and went straight back to his courtyard.

Yan Changsheng was obviously waiting for him, and when he saw him coming back, his eyes lit up, and he immediately ran over, wanting to pull him.

Yan Xiubai avoided his outstretched hand, flicked the sleeves of his robe, and walked towards the house.

Yan Changsheng frowned, as if he had sensed something, and followed silently.

The door was slammed shut, and the candlelight dimmed to illuminate the faces of the two men.

Yan Xiubai's face was not very good, his gaze kept falling on the person opposite, sharp and deep, and the depths of his eyes were mixed with storms.

"The eldest prince was killed by you?" Although it was a question sentence, his tone was firm, obviously he had already determined, for no other reason, in this capital, or rather, in this world, who else could kill a prince in the heavily guarded prince's mansion without alarming anyone, who else could there be? Even himself, I'm afraid he doesn't have this ability.

After all, in addition to those guards on the bright side, those masters hidden in the shadows, there are more than one or two.

Yan Changsheng blinked, he didn't deny it, and he didn't need to deny it.

It's one thing to have a guess in his heart, and it's another thing for the other party to admit it, Yan Xiubai was so angry that even his voice trembled a little, "You! you bastard! How can you act so recklessly!!"

"Isn't it good that he's dead?!" Yan Changsheng didn't understand, "You want to help the third prince become the emperor, the eldest prince is the biggest obstacle to the third prince, as soon as he dies, the third prince will be able to ascend the throne smoothly, and then we will be able to return to Hezhou, isn't this what you want?"

In a way, Yan Changsheng is very naïve, and his thinking is relatively simple, or rather, he doesn't bother to think about it too complicated, he has enough strength to simplify all complex things, and what Yan Xiubai wants to do, he will always help him do it, using his own means.

、

And it is this method that Yan Xiubai cannot accept.

"I want to go back to Haozhou, but I didn't let you kill anyone! It's the eldest prince who died, now that the capital is in turmoil, the emperor has issued a death order, be sure to find the murderer, you are good at martial arts, you are invincible in the world, do you really think you can escape everyone's eyes?!" Yan Xiubai is very good at cultivating kung fu, and he has never been so angry as he is now.

"Are you worried about me?" Yan Changsheng's eyes lit up, hugged his waist and said, "Don't worry, it's okay, I didn't leave any traces, no one will find me." ”

Yan Xiu laughed angrily, "General Yan is so confident, according to what you say, you can kill people at will without leaving a trace?"

"I just wanted to help you. Yan Changsheng frowned.

Yan Xiubai pushed him away and said in a deep voice, "If that's the case, I'd rather not have you help me." ”

With that, he turned to leave.

Yan Changsheng looked at his empty hands, his heart was irritable, he rushed over one by one, and grabbed the person who was about to open the door and leave, "Then what do you want, everyone has been killed, and they can't live!"

Yan Xiubai was silent for a long time before he said: "I didn't think about anything, as you said, people are dead, I just think we think differently......."

It's not that he hasn't killed anyone, but he also values every life, he is not a villain full of evil, he will never take people's lives easily, but Yan Changsheng is different from him, maybe he fought on the battlefield, he ignores human life, as long as the position is opposite, in his eyes they are all people who can be killed, this point, he can understand, but it is still a little difficult to accept.

Yan Changsheng didn't understand what he meant by the difference in his mouth, he didn't understand Yan Xiubai's thoughts, and even had some grievances, an irrelevant person, still an enemy, wouldn't it be good to die? He didn't understand why Yan Xiubai was so angry.

The relationship between the two has reached a stalemate because of this matter, Yan Changsheng doesn't like such coldness, but it is also the first time he likes a person, and he doesn't know how to break such a situation for a while.

Yan Xiubai naturally knows more than him, but he was called into the palace by the old emperor again, and the number of times the two met was very small, so he didn't care about anything else, and he started this cold war first, let alone break the deadlock first.

When he is free, he will also reflect a little, after all, the other party is only fifteen years old, at least his current memory and body are only fifteen years old, and he is an adult, so it seems a bit unkind to embarrass a child like this.

The child has to be taught, the sapling has to be cut down, and when this is over, it will be reconciled, and it will be good to teach it well in the future.

After making up his mind, his heart was settled, and at this time, the old emperor's health was getting worse and worse.

At the same time, after more than a dozen sleepless hard work, some of the results of the investigation were slowly reported.

The eldest prince was killed by a knife, the murderer's martial arts are extremely high, and the knife wound on the eldest prince's body is the same as the wound on the body of the previously deceased uncle henchman Sun, confirming that the murderer is the same.

Half a month's effort, except for these furs, there is no clue, the emperor is naturally dissatisfied, it is a matter of life, Jingzhao Mansion Yin also worked hard, the murderer is strong in martial arts, there is a great possibility that he is from the rivers and lakes, he thought about it, and asked people to go to the rivers and lakes to check.

The knife wound is a breakthrough, the injury is not caused by an ordinary knife wound, it is narrower than an ordinary knife wound, and the force is heavy.

When the one-month deadline was reached, Yin Zhan of Jingzhao Mansion trembled to report these developments and begged the emperor to give him some more time.

What the emperor said in person, it was naturally impossible to take it back, and Jingzhao Mansion Yin was removed from his post and taken over by someone from the Criminal Department to continue the investigation.

The example of Jingzhao Mansion Yin is in front of him, and after receiving this hot potato, Shangshu of the Criminal Department naturally did his best more, and in just a few days, his hair turned white, and Yan Xiubai was in a hurry with him.

These days, he has been by the old emperor's side, conditioning his body, his medical skills are already good, and the effect is naturally better than others, which makes the old emperor trust him even more, and completely hand over his body to him to recuperate.

Because he was by the emperor's side, he naturally knew the progress of the case, and he couldn't help but get anxious.

Yan Changsheng often goes out, it is impossible that he has not fought with others, and his Mo knife is really conspicuous, there may not be much known in the rivers and lakes, but there is definitely something, once the Mo knife is found out, Yan Changsheng will definitely be unlucky.

If the other party stood in front of him, he would definitely slap him on the head, such an obvious flaw, and said that there was no trace!!

As soon as the eldest prince died, the biggest benefit was the third prince, the biggest competitor was gone, he was the next emperor who was sure to be, and now the old emperor was seriously ill, and most of the government fell into his hands.

He can be regarded as proud now, and what makes him painful is that he has to pretend to be sad on the surface.

Like Yan Changsheng, Yan Xiubai doesn't like him either, most of the royal people are hypocritical, hypocritical and vicious, for example, the old emperor's days are numbered, but the third prince still asked people to send him a message, a message that killed the old emperor.

He didn't care about the death of the old emperor, and even if he died, it would be the best, so that Yan Changsheng's side would be completely safe, so he was a little hesitant now.

In the past, he would not interfere in this kind of dirty thing, but when it came to Yan Changsheng, he suddenly found that he couldn't seem to be indifferent.
