"I'm sorry we didn't think it through and scared you." The prince of Beiyuan looked fine, he waved his hand to Cangwu Jingyuan, signaling that he was fine, and Cangwu Jingkite joined the fight with his sword again. The men in black gradually fell behind, and one of them took advantage of everyone's unpreparedness and ran out.

Cangwu Jingkite would let him go, followed by and chased out, the figure in black was extremely fast, and disappeared after a while, Cangwu Jingkite looked at the figure that disappeared into the night, and couldn't help frowning.

"Princess, don't chase anymore." Shadowless followed.

"Shadowless, do you know who these night raiders are?" Wuying didn't speak, and Cangwu Jingkite didn't want to ask again, she kept an eye on it, searched the surroundings again, and saw that there was really no one to hide, so she went back.

She didn't expect that this time, what was waiting for her would be a catastrophe.

When Cangwu Jingkite and Wuying returned to the post house, there were many black-armored Praetorian guards in the post house, each holding a torch in their hands, illuminating the entire hall as bright as day, and Cangwu Jinxiu was standing in the middle, with an angry face.

"Cangwu Jing Kite, there are assassins in the inn, why are everyone here, but you are not here?" Cangwu Jinxiu's tone is very stern.

But Cangwu Jingyuan had a clear conscience, and replied in a deep voice that he was going out to chase the assassin.

"Are you going out to chase the assassins or are you going out to kill people?" Cangwu Jinxiu's words were asked very sharply.

Cangwu Jingyuan just wanted to explain, but when he saw a representative of the mission walk out, his face was not very good, and he said with a little anger: "Eldest Princess Cangwu, you were not here when it happened, it all depends on the protection of the fourth princess and the guards to protect my master's safety, and now it's okay, you have to come to Xingshi to ask for guilt." If you want to ask for sin, you can also ask for it, please wait for the dawn to go back to your palace to ask for sin, now it's late, our prince is very sleepy, he wants to rest, and he asks the princess to leave. ”

This was said very politely, Cangwu Jinxiu originally wanted to say something, but suddenly her face turned cold again, and she said rather gloomily: "This lord is right, if you want to ask about the crime, you will go back to the palace and ask again." ”

With that, Cangwu Jinxiu turned to the black-armored guards and said, "You will stay at the post house tonight, and you must ensure the safety of the mission." ”

"As for you," Cangwu Jinxiu looked at Cangwu Jingyu, "follow me into the palace immediately." ”

Cangwu Jingyuan looked at her face, her eyes sank, but there was no fear in her eyes, "Since I am warm and worthy of it, what if I go back with you?" ”

Although it was late at night, the empress was still waiting for everyone in the main hall, although the envoys of neighboring countries came to sue for peace, but the empress still did not dare to take it lightly, Beiyuan has secretly accumulated a certain amount of strength in the past two years, if Shen Xiao was not sent this time, I am afraid it would be difficult to quell the rebellion on the frontier, and she could not let Beiyuan have another excuse to provoke war.

Looking at the cangwu splendid embroidery kneeling in front of the hall, the empress said in a deep voice: "Jinxiu, is there something wrong with the Northern Plains Mission?" ”

"Back to the mother emperor, fortunately, the sons and daughters arrived in time with the troops, and there were no casualties in the mission." Cangwu Jinxiu was ashamed to take credit to himself.

The Empress nodded, "Have you caught the assassins for interrogation?" ”

"Erchen is incompetent, and he can't catch it alive." Cangwu Jinxiu's words changed: "But Erchen knows who is behind the scenes." ”

The empress lowered her eyes, "Who is it?" ”

Cangwu Jinxiu glanced at Cangwu Jingyuan coldly, and a touch of coldness flashed in her eyes: "It's my fourth sister, your fourth daughter, Cangwu Jingkite." ”

The empress was taken aback, and said a little sternly: "Jing Kite, what your eldest sister said is true?" ”

Cangwu Jingyuan sneered in her heart, this Cangwu Jinxiu really dared to spew blood, but at the same time she felt a little bitter in her heart, as a mother, the empress didn't believe in herself at all.

Thinking of this, Cangwu Jingkite half-knelt on the ground, her eyes sank, and she explained clearly the ins and outs of her going out to chase the assassin tonight.

"She lied!" Seeing that the empress seemed to be a little shaken, Cangwu Jinxiu quickly knelt down and said in a deep voice: "This qiē has been a conspiracy from the beginning, Cangwu Jingyi is dissatisfied because of his long-term anger, and in order to take revenge on his sons and you, he sent someone to assassinate the envoys of neighboring countries tonight, intending to provoke a war between the two countries. Fortunately, Erchen went early tonight, and when Erchen went, Cangwu Jingkite was 'coincidentally' not there, and when he came back, he was accompanied by a strange guard. Speaking of which, the mother emperor may not know, just a few days ago, there was a strange man beside Cangwu Jingkite, who could see that his swordsmanship was very good, but his identity was unknown, which was suspicious.

"He's just a little guard, he used to be a street performer, and he saved me when I went out that day and encountered a few murderers, and I saw that he was doing well, so I stayed by my side." Cangwu Jingkite didn't want to involve innocent people, so he explained in a tough tone.

Seeing that the empress still didn't say anything, Cangwu Jinxiu was secretly angry, she thought about it and said: "Mother Emperor, don't be deceived by people with intentions, think about it, your monarch has always been a person who has no desires and no desires, why do you strongly recommend the fourth sister as an assistant this time, I'm afraid there is something strange in this - maybe your monarch is the instigator behind the scenes." ”

Hearing these words that reversed black and white, Cangwu Jingyi looked at Cangwu Jinxiu coldly, but she knew that the more she explained now, the more suspicious it became, so she could only say: "Mother Emperor, the sons are warm and worthy of this matter, as for your gentleman's recommendation of me, it was also a good intention, and there is no behind-the-scenes command at all!" ”

At the end, she added with calm eyes: "Even if the mother emperor doesn't believe me, you and your monarch are also husband and wife, will you listen to other people's slander and doubt your monarch?" ”

Shen Chen, who came in a hurry, saw such a look, and knelt down on one knee with the same solemn expression, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, with Jing Kite's character, you will never do such a thing. ”

"You ......"

Cangwu Jinxiu wanted to say something, but the imperial husband Shen He walked out slowly, he patted Cangwu Jinxiu's back with relief, but the words he said were ruthless, "Your Majesty, whether tonight's incident was instigated by the fourth princess or not, the mission was frightened, she took the initiative to ask Ying to help from the side, but there was such a big difference during her tenure." According to the minister, this is by no means a trivial matter, this side of the frontier was bought by General Shen in exchange for his life, fortunately, the mission is fine, if there are really casualties tonight, I am afraid that my Cangwu will not only be realized, but also a war will break out, and when the people will be displaced, the lives will be ruined, won't it make the people of the world chill? As the saying goes, 'The Son of Heaven violates the law and commits the same crime as the common people', if His Majesty does not severely punish the four princesses, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public! ”

He said this very seriously, and when he mentioned the Shen family, General Shen, and the empress couldn't help frowning.

Shen Chen sank his eyes when he heard this: "Your Majesty, what Shen Huangfu said is biased, first of all, Jing Kite will definitely not be the one who does this game, they have insufficient evidence, and they can't judge her guilt at all, and secondly, the emperor also said that Jing Kite is only assisting from the side, and the eldest princess is really responsible, if you really want to be punished, then the punishment of the eldest princess should be heavier." Speaking of which, I have to wonder even more, obviously they are all contacts, why did the eldest princess order Jing Yuan to stay in the post house, but she returned to the palace, and then the time when the eldest princess returned to the post house to save people was too coincidental, is there really such a coincidence? ”

"Enough!" The empress snorted, she looked at Cangwu Jing Kite, knowing that this matter was quite unfavorable to her, she frowned and said a little tiredly: "What the imperial husband said is not unreasonable, Jing Kite, what you did tonight is indeed very suspicious, and before the matter is investigated, you should treat the crime as well." Come on, put the four princesses in prison and wait for the trial. ”

"Majesty!" Shen Chen's tone was short, he held Cangwu Jingyi's hand tightly, and wanted to say something, but Cangwu Jingyuan shook his head at him gently.

She should have known this was the end a long time ago, didn't she? No matter how hard you try, in exchange for always misinterpretation and injury, Cangwu Jing Kite's heart is as cold as water, and there is no half of fluctuation on her face.

With a wave of her hand, she turned and walked away calmly.

Before leaving, she glanced at Cangwu Jinxiu, and the killing intent in her eyes made Cangwu Jinxiu shudder, but she was also more determined to get rid of Cangwu Jingxiu.

She intuitively felt that Cangwu Jingkite seemed to have some very special things invisibly, such as patience, such as courage, and fearlessness in danger, and these are the characteristics of being an empress, as long as she dares to fight for the position of empress, she will never let go!

On the second day, Cangwu Jingkite did not appear, and the fact that she was thrown into prison overnight has been known to the ministers of the court and the central government, which is strange to say, this time, except for those ministers who are bent on settling with the Shen family, there is no objection, almost all the ministers, including those who are good friends with the Shen family on weekdays, have unanimously fallen to Cangwu Jingkite.

First, there is no evidence between Shen He and Cangwu Jinxiu, and secondly, Cangwu Jingyuan is still a little girl who has just reached the end of the day, but these two people do not hesitate to oppress the empress with the Shen family, and they want to get rid of her quickly, this kind of behavior is really despicable.

But Cangwu Jingkite didn't know this, she was just looking at the person in front of her now, and couldn't help laughing, it seemed that she had finally made the right move.

"The old slave has said hello to the princess." Zhang Quan said cautiously, although Shen Huangfu sent him to the prison to make a point, and also hinted that he wanted to bend into a move, but after all, his handle was still in the hands of others, and Zhang Quan did not dare not be careful.

"Shen He called you? Torture to extract confessions, torture into confessions? Cangwu Jingyuan looked at Zhang Quan easily.

Zhang Quan arched his hand towards Cangwu Jingyuan and said: "The old slave has offended a lot, and I ask the princess to cooperate." ”

With that, Zhang Quan raised his hand towards the man behind him and motioned for him to come over.

Cangwu Jingyuan looked at the people who came with great interest, took out various tools such as paint, dog's blood, and makeup brushes from the small box he carried, and already had some guesses in his heart, and raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhang Quandao: "You know a lot of people." ”

Zhang Quan coughed lightly and said: "The old slave only received the above order last night, and it took a night to come up with such an idea as makeup, but fortunately, the old slave is also an old man in the palace, and after so many years, he happens to know someone who is proficient in this, so I hope the princess can cooperate." ”
