P> Xiao Wanyao turned her head to look at Zhu'er, "What's the matter?" ”

P> Zhu'er pursed her lower lip and said, "The emperor arrested the queen's aunt on the charge of rebellion. ”

P> "What? Xiao Wanyao couldn't believe her ears, "How is it possible?" How could my aunt rebel, this is a trumped-up charge. ”

P> Zhu'er nodded and comforted, "The slave also knows that there must be something wrong here." When Prime Minister Zuo was driven out of Wei by the first emperor on the charge of rebellion, Xue Gongzi had not yet become the emperor. And how could the emperor attack the queen's aunt. There must be something wrong with this. ”

P> Xiao Wanyao grabbed Zhu'er's hand tightly, "Is this news true?" She asked in a dark voice.

P> Zhu'er lowered her eyes and didn't dare to look at her directly, she also asked the person who sent the news like this, but his answer was true, he saw with his own eyes that the Praetorian Guards of the palace took the emperor's holy decree to arrest Xiao Wanyao's aunt.

Seeing that Zhu'er didn't speak, > Xiao Wanyao asked, "What about those people sent to protect my aunt?" What do they say? ”

P> had already said this, and Zhu'er said boldly, "It was the letter they came to Chu to report to the state of Chu, because the Praetorian Guards in the palace appeared, so they didn't do it. There are too many of them, and they have the emperor's decree in their hands. So ......"

P> Xiao Wanyao's eyes widened, "What about my aunt?" How is she now? ”

P>" was taken away, but it is not known where he was being held. Those in the countryside who had anything to do with the Xiao family were arrested. Pearls replied.

P> Xiao Wanyao was stunned, she couldn't have imagined that such a thing would happen. never thought that Xue Tianao would attack her family, that was the person she cared about the most.

P> "Zhu'er, how is Mu Qingge now?" Can you get in touch with him. Xiao Wanyao asked.

P> Zhu'er said, "There has always been a connection, although he has been appreciated in front of the emperor, but after all, he is still very strange, so the emperor does not trust him very much, and only gave him a small official to do." So his position in the DPRK did not have much influence. ”

P> Xiao Wanyao gritted her teeth, "Whether it is influential or not, sue him, you must find my aunt, no matter what means you use, you must ensure the safety of your aunt." Absolutely can't let her have an accident, inform Mingyu ......" Xiao Wanyao took a deep breath, she didn't have the courage to say the following words herself, but she still said in a slightly trembling voice, "If Xue Tianao dares to do something to my family, if my aunt has any three advantages and two shortcomings, she will not hesitate to attack Wei at a price." ”

P> Zhu'er couldn't believe her ears, and when she heard what she said, she also gasped. Cui'er, who was standing in the distance, couldn't help but run over, "Queen Mother, this ...... It must not have been done by Xue Gongzi, he would never do anything to hurt his mother. There must be something in this, and we still have to find out. In case ......"

P> Xiao Wanyao's blood-red eyes stared up at Cui'er, gritted her teeth and said, "No case, even if Xue Tianao didn't want to deal with my aunt, at least he should know that everything has nothing to do with her, she is just an innocent old man, she doesn't care about the world, so kind, so gentle." It's not him, it's bound to be the people around him, otherwise why would there be palace guards going there? Why is there a holy decree? ”

P> Zhu'er and Cui'er were speechless when asked, indeed, as Xiao Wanyao said, if this matter has nothing to do with Xue Tianao, it doesn't make sense at all.

P> Xiao Wanyao had completely insomnia that night, and she paced back and forth in the room, thinking about how to save her aunt. But no matter what she thought, no matter what she guessed. Now she can't even take half a step out of this Xiyun Palace, how can she save her family?

P> In the past few days, Xiao Wanyao has been eating ugly and sleepless at night because of this news, and she has lost a lot of weight.

P> every time he walked out of the dormitory or came back from the next dynasty, he wanted to go to Xiyun Palace to see Xiao Wanyao and see how she was doing. But every time I looked in her direction, I couldn't help but think of Xue Tianao. Remembering how much she loved someone else. Then he turned and left.

>On this day, Guo Ping was bored alone, so he went to Ling Bing's place again, and saw Ling Bing playing with the pigeons in the courtyard with the palace maid, and the pigeon was standing on the palace maid's shoulders and heads, very obedient. Suddenly, a pigeon pulled the feces on the shoulders of a palace maid, causing her to scream, Ling Bing and the other palace maids all looked at her, and everyone couldn't help but laugh.

P> Guo Ping saw that they were having fun, so he stood not far away and watched quietly for a while, and then walked in, "What is so happy!" Tell me about it. ”

P>Everyone saw the emperor coming, and hurriedly saluted, "See the emperor." Ling Bing also got down from the chair on the steps and walked to Guo Ping's front to salute, "See the emperor, why did the emperor suddenly come here?" ”

P> "Why don't you welcome me over?" Guo Ping pinched her little face and said.

P> Ling Bing smiled happily, "The concubine doesn't dare, the concubine just thinks that the emperor must be criticizing and dealing with national affairs at this time, how can he have time to come to the harem." Ling Bing asked the others to step back, leaving Xuan Yue to serve alone, and after Guo Ping sat down, she snuggled up in his arms and coquettishly.

P> Guo Ping sighed slightly, "I was a little bored watching the music, so I came out for a walk, but I didn't expect that when I first arrived here, I heard you laughing so happily inside, so I came in." ”

P> Ling Bing looked at Guo Ping, and when he saw his sad face, he said, "The emperor seems to have something on his mind." You might as well talk to the concubines, maybe the concubines can help the emperor solve problems. ”

P> Guo Ping didn't want to mention Xiao Wanyao's matter to others, and it was his heart, so naturally he didn't want to tell others, so he shook his head and said, "I'm fine, but I have a headache watching the performance." Come out and breathe. ”

P> Ling Bing paused for a moment, pursed his lips and said, "Your Majesty, look at this beautiful spring, and we are locked up in this palace, why don't you go out of the palace to breathe, enjoy the scenery, and walk around, maybe your mood will be much better." ”

P> After Ling Bing reminded him like this, Guo Ping paused slightly and said with a smile, "That's right!" It's a good idea to go to the green this year, so I immediately ordered someone to prepare, and I'll take you out of the palace for a visit another day. I met you last time I went out of the palace, and I don't know what new things I will encounter this time. ”

P> Ling Bing pouted and said coquettishly, "What, does the emperor still want to bring back another concubine?" The concubine won't go out with you, and when you go back, you will bring back a goblin and seduce the emperor away, what should the concubine do. ”

P> this made Guo Ping laugh, "You are my little goblin, if only you were really so lucky to meet another one." ”

P> Ling Bing also laughed, and Guo Ping was in a much better mood. After coming out of Changchun Palace, Guo Ping thought that there were only four concubines in the palace now, so he asked them to tell them about going out. Han Qianqian sent someone to reply that he was unwell and didn't want to go out. Shi Xuezhen was very interested. Guo Ping was concerned with the news from Xiao Wanyao's side, at least this was an excuse to see her and not have to go to her palace.

P> but she didn't send anyone to reply until the evening, and she agreed, he thought to himself.

P> However, when he was reviewing the recital in the evening, the eunuch stepped forward and replied, "Your Majesty, Zhu'er of Xiyun Palace asks to see you." ”

P> Guo Ping paused slightly, put down the pen in his hand, "Let her in." ”

After P> Zhu'er came in and saluted, she replied, "Your Majesty, the queen mother asked the slave maid to sue the emperor, the queen mother is still under house arrest, so it is inconvenient to go out, and I will not accompany the emperor to go out tomorrow." I also hope that the emperor will forgive his sins. ”

P> Guo Ping frowned, his face sank, and his tone became unkind, "Since she doesn't want to go, then don't go." Let her stay in Xiyun Palace. ”

P> Zhu'er took the order to go back, Guo Ping no longer had the heart to look at the folds, picked up the pen and wanted to review it, thinking that Xiao Wanyao threw down the pen angrily and stood up.

The eunuch who was serving > saw that he was in a bad mood, and hurriedly stepped forward to serve, Guo Ping said with a displeased face, "If you don't look at it, I have a headache when I see it." Let's go, go to Bingyi Pavilion, I want to see Ling Chang here. ”

P> Ling Bing was a little disappointed when he heard that the queen would not go out of the palace with Guo Ping, but it was okay, anyway, as long as the people outside knew that Xiao Wanyao was going out.

On > side, Zhenling and Zhentian lived in seclusion in a mountain not far from the capital of Chu State, and they had been living here for a long time. Zhentian's body recovered very well, but as Xiao Wanyao said, he could no longer practice martial arts, and he couldn't do heavy work.

P> Zhen Tian blamed himself very much for this, he was depressed all day, Zhen Ling was very worried about him, and went over to comfort him, "It's okay, even if you don't do anything, isn't there still me?" Don't worry, we've been killers for so many years, and the money we have saved is enough for us to spend the rest of our lives at ease, so you don't have to do anything. ”

P> Zhentian grabbed her hand and looked at her, "Haven't you always wanted to live that ordinary life?" Men and women weave, but I can't do anything now, not even protect you. I ......"

P> Zhenling gagged him with his hand, "I won't allow you to say that in the future." I think we're doing pretty well now, you see the scenery is beautiful, you can have whatever you want, and no one bothered us, and no one could find us. And have you forgotten? I also know martial arts, so I don't need your protection. ”

P> Zhentian finally showed a smile on his face, but it was very reluctant.

P> Just as the two of them were talking, suddenly a figure flashed through the door, and Zhen Ling was stunned, "Who is it?" By the time she ran out, there was no one at the door, but a knife was stabbed on the doorpost, and a piece of paper was left on the tip of the knife. It reads, "If you don't want Xiao Wanyao to die, come to Qingxiu Mountain at noon tomorrow." ”

P> Zhenling took off the paper, and at this time, Zhentian also walked out and saw what was written on the paper.

P> "Could this be a trap?" Hasn't the eldest lady been in the palace all the time? How did you get to Qingxiu Mountain? Earthquake said.

P> Zhenling shook his head, "I don't know. Maybe he swapped identities with Yanran. Earthquake, you wait for me here, I'll go to the city and check out what's going on. ”

P> Zhentian nodded and said, "Be careful when you go." ”

P> Zhenling nodded, but when she left, she suddenly thought, "No, you can't stay here, someone sent this note, indicating that someone knows that we are here, and this place can't stay any longer." By the way, you go back to the capital with me, and go to Shangguan Yunfan first, he is very safe there, and he should be fine. We'll talk about this side later. ”

P> Zhentian thought about it for a while, and it was only like this now. After that, he returned to the capital of Chu with Zhenling and found Shangguan Yunfan, and also learned from Shangguan Yunfan that the emperor was going to leave the palace, and Xiao Wanyao was also among them. Shock knew what was going on at once.

P> she handed the note to Shangguan Yunfan and looked at it, "Do you think it will be a trap?" Quake asked.

P> Shangguan Yunfan frowned, "I don't know, but I got the news from the palace that Wan Yao will indeed follow the emperor out of the palace." ”

P>Chapter 261

P> Zhenling frowned tightly, "Someone wants to attack the eldest lady, we have to help her." They must have wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to kill the eldest lady. ”

P> Although Shangguan Yunfan also felt that there was something wrong with this, when it came to Xiao Wanyao's safety, it was better to believe it than not. So they decided to protect Xiao Wanyao's safety.

P> Zhenling said, "If the eldest lady goes to Qingxiu Mountain, she will definitely not be in the palace now. When the time comes, I will go to Qingxiu Mountain, and while they are playing, I will find a way to get close to the eldest lady and tell her about this matter, maybe she will know what is going on. ”

P> Shangguan Yunfan nodded, "The person who delivered the letter is likely to be Wan Yao's subordinates. Maybe she's asking us for help, but it could also be someone else's conspiracy, and it's best to ask. At that time, the Praetorian Guards of the palace will protect the safety of the emperor and concubines, even if someone really wants to kill Wan Yao, it is not so easy, this matter always feels very strange. ”

P> Zhenling took a deep breath, "When I get to Qingxiu Mountain and see the eldest lady, everything will be clear as soon as I see it." ”

P> Guo Ping took a group of people to Qingxiu Mountain, where there is a specially built palace of the royal family, and the emperor often comes here when he goes out of the palace to play. It is difficult for the concubines to leave the palace, so they often seize such a good opportunity to have a good time.

P> there were only two people accompanying Guo Ping, Shi Xuezhen and Ling Bing. Shi Xuezhen has an indifferent attitude towards Ling Bing, she will not take it lightly, once she does, she will definitely find the weakness of the other party. And now that Ling Bing is being favored, she is not jealous of her, the relationship is not too close, but it is not far away.

After P> stayed overnight in Qingxiu Mountain, early the next morning, Guo Ping wanted to take the two of them out to play. Shi Xuezhen brought her personal palace maid Huan'er, but Ling Bing did not bring Xuanyue, but brought an ordinary palace maid. Guo Ping felt a little strange, but he didn't ask much, after all, he didn't like Xuanyue's dead face very much, and he was much more comfortable not to see her.

P> Just when they were playing, in another place, Zhenling and they sneaked into Qingxiu Mountain, wanting to find Xiao Wanyao, and if they had the opportunity, they wanted to tell her about the note. Originally, I wanted people to pass the news to the palace, but the time was too rushed, so I didn't do that.

P> Just as Guo Ping and Ling Bing were having fun, the guards in the distance suddenly shouted, "There are assassins!" Guo Ping was stunned, looked in the direction where the voice came from, and then instructed the person with his identity, "Take Shi Guiren and Ling Chang back to the palace, I want to go and see it in person." ”

P> Ling Bing grabbed him, "Your Majesty, this kind of thing should be left to those Praetorian Guards, if you go, it will be too dangerous." ”

P> Guo Ping glanced back at her and smiled, "I led the troops to fight back then, but I was never afraid, just a little assassin." You and Shi Guiren go back first. I'm going to catch the man who ruined our good spirits. ”

P> Shi Xuezhen's face was calm, the appearance of the assassin here must have been premeditated. After Guo Ping left, she accompanied Ling Changzai to the palace, and said softly on the way, "How can this place be with assassins, the emperor has just come to assassinate assassins, how can it be such a coincidence." ”

P> Ling Bing glanced at Shi Xuezhen's calm expression and smiled indifferently, "Sister, if you are so calm and composed, you must be a person who has experienced great things." If it was someone else, they would have panicked a long time ago. "Shi Xuezhen knows martial arts, although she is not as powerful as Ling Bing, but she is just a small assassin, she suddenly panicked when she didn't know how scared, not to mention that there are so many palace guards here.

P> she smiled and said to Ling Bing, "My sister is not the same as me!" Calm and composed, not in the slightest intimidated. I heard that the emperor met his sister in the gambling house, and at that time my sister was still a woman dressed as a man, presumably my sister was a person who walked through the rivers and lakes and saw the world. This kind of thing naturally doesn't scare my sister. ”

P> Ling Bing didn't expect Shi Xuezhen to be sharp and sharp, and she didn't show weakness at all, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, and didn't say anything more. But in their hearts, they were all wary of each other.

P> Guo Ping led people to chase the assassin away, he wanted to catch that person with his own hands, and see who was so bold to offend him at this time. However, just as he ran out after chasing this moment, he suddenly saw a figure squatting by the stream in front of him. When the man heard the voice, he looked at Guo Ping with some surprise.

P> Guo Ping saw the other party's face clearly at this moment, the other party was a woman, with delicate eyebrows and simple and neat dress, when she saw Guo Ping, she reached out and picked up the long sword beside her, slowly stood up, and stared at Guo Ping on this side vigilantly.

P> Palace Guards saw that she had a weapon in her hand, and thought she was at this moment, so they surrounded her.

P> Guo Ping may not know her, but she knows Guo Ping.

P> "Who are you and why are you here?" Guo Ping asked.

P> Zhenling glanced at the Praetorian Guards who surrounded him, looked at their long swords, and suddenly smiled, "I was just passing by here, and I don't know what happened." Who are you? ”

P> Qingxiu Mountain had been protected by the Praetorian Legion, so it was difficult for them to enter the mountain, so Zhenling decided to go to see Xiao Wanyao alone. Originally, I wanted to create a chance encounter, but I didn't expect them to find themselves so quickly. And it seems to be very unkind to himself.

P> Guo Ping looked Zhen Ling up and down, and naturally had some doubts in his heart, but he didn't expect the other party to be such a delicate beauty, so he smiled and said, "Since you are passing by here, have you seen an assassin?" Or who passed from here? ”

P > Zhenling paused, she was still a long way away from the place where Xiao Wanyao and the others played, she walked to the stream and just washed her hands, and when she was about to continue walking, she found that Guo Ping had already led someone to find her, and she couldn't help but have some doubts in her heart, how could he know that he was here?

P> "No! I'm the only one here. Zhen Ling said simply.

P> "The girl is alone in this deep mountain, isn't she afraid of encountering any accidents?" Guo Ping's eyes sank and he said.

P> Zhenling chuckled lightly and raised the long sword in his hand, "This son, do you think I look like the kind of person who is prone to accidents?" But who are you? Why here? And why ...... Quake, gesturing to the Praetorian Guards around him, "doing this to me?" Did you have any festivals before Xia and Childe? ”

P> "That's not true, we just met an assassin and chased after her, only to find that the girl was here, so we had to suspect her." Guo Ping said.

P> Zhenling paused slightly, "That boy thinks it's that assassin down there?" ”

P> Guo Ping nodded without denying it, "Can the girl go back with me, whether she is an assassin or not, we will naturally know when we investigate clearly." ”

P > Zhenling lowered his head and thought for a while, if he went back with him, he might meet Xiao Wanyao, and then he might know what was going on with that note. Then there is who the real assassin is.

P> "It seems that if you want to clear your name, you can only go back with your son." With that, she walked towards Guo Ping. The surrounding Praetorian Guards hurriedly stopped her. She slammed and her face sank.

P> Guo Ping waved his hand at the people around him, let Zhenling come over, she walked up to him, "Look at your clothes like people from the government, I don't want to offend the people from the government, let's go!" I'm fine right now anyway, so I'll just go with you. After speaking, he followed Guo Ping and them away.

P> When Zhenling came to the palace of Qingxiu Mountain, she found that Xiao Wanyao and Ben were not there, Guo Ping only brought two concubines out, and she realized at this time that she had been tricked. But she didn't decide to leave immediately, since someone knew that the emperor was going to go out of the palace, and he also knew that he would take his concubines with him.

P> then the person who sent the letter must be someone from the palace. Otherwise, no one would know so clearly. Since she has been brought back by Guo Ping, she may be able to find out who is trying to frame Xiao Wanyao behind her back.

P> what Ling Bing didn't expect was that she had Guo Ping led to Zhenling, but Guo Ping didn't seem to have any hostility towards her. He didn't even take her back as an assassin, but arranged for her to stay in Qingxiu Mountain. This made her puzzled.

> night, Xuan Yue came to Ling Bing's side, closed the door, and said in a low voice, "The emperor is drinking with that Zhenling, and it seems that he doesn't suspect her." She sank her eyes, "The emperor is very good, and it is always easy to believe in people of unknown origin." I thought he was going to think of her as an assassin. ”

P> Ling Bing took a deep breath, "Zhenling must have come to save Xiao Wanyao, but she is very smart and reacts quickly. pretended not to know anything, and deceived the emperor. No, in that case, our plans will fail. ”

P> Xuanyue leaned to the side, clasped her hands on her chest, her face was cold, and said, "It's just that we expected a wrong step, Xiao Wanyao didn't follow the emperor out of the palace, otherwise, the plan would not have failed." ”

P> Ling Bing frowned, pacing back and forth in the room, this was a plan of hers, a plan that made Xiao Wanyao even more painful, but she still underestimated Xiao Wanyao, she thought that she would definitely take the opportunity to follow Guo Ping out this time, please Guo Ping when she went out, and restore her status under house arrest, but she didn't expect her to refuse.

P> "No, we can't let this plan fail. If they fail, they will definitely be prepared, and it will not be so easy to deal with them when the time comes. Ling Bing frowned, trying to figure out how to make the plan a success.

P> Xuanyue looked at her so embarrassed, snorted lightly, walked up to her, and patted her shoulder, "It's the first time I've seen you look so embarrassed in order to deal with someone." Actually, it's very simple, just tonight, I'll go and lure her out and let Guo Ping catch her. When the time comes, no matter how much she pretends to be, she won't be able to pretend. Guo Ping will definitely not believe her. ”

P> Ling Bing was a little unsure, "Are you sure you can let her show her feet in front of Guo Ping?" Earthquake Spirit doesn't look like it's easy to deal with. ”

P> Xuanyue said, "I can lure her out, but I still need your cooperation." When Xuan Yue said this, Ling Bing suddenly realized and said with a smile, "Sure enough, I was right to bring you into the palace." Then next, the matter of dealing with the earthquake spirit will be left to you. ”

P> Here, after Zhenling and Guo Ping had dinner together, they came directly to the place where they lived. What made her feel ridiculous was that Guo Ping was not only not hostile to herself, but also seemed curious. But luckily he did, otherwise she wouldn't have known how to get in.

P> just after Zhen Ling returned to the house, he suddenly noticed footsteps on the roof, his body was slightly startled, he pulled out his long sword, and slowly walked in the house with the sound of footsteps.

P> footsteps suddenly stopped, and instantly burst out from the roof, and a man in black held a long sword and stabbed Zhen Ling.
