In the dark night, the imperial study was lit with bright candles, but the light did not reach some corners, and it looked a little gloomy. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Qin Qixiang leaned slightly on the desk, and there were some pieces scattered on his arm, but he didn't realize that his ordinary shrewd eyes were closing at this time, and he seemed to be tired. But the fluttering eyelids hinted that he was having an unstable dream.

"The son visits his father." In the imperial study, a young girl in a princess dress is saluting him.

"You are?" Qin Qixiang squinted his eyes, but he didn't see who the other party was, he had a lot of daughters, and this girl had a blurred face with her head down, so she really couldn't blame him.

The girl's body trembled slightly when she heard this, but she still didn't raise her head, her voice was low, and there was some grievance: "Father, I am like smoke!" Why don't you remember? ”

Like smoke? Who is Ruyan? Qin Qixiang couldn't remember it for a while, but he vaguely remembered that he did have a daughter named Ruyan.

Who is it? What's her rank? Qin Qixiang was a little embarrassed, although he was the king of a country, if he even forgot his daughter, it would be a joke to spread it!

"Father, you don't have to think about it, you just need to look at my face, and you'll remember!" At this time, it seemed that she was a little impatient, and the girl took the initiative to propose.

Then, she slowly raised her face, but it really startled Qin Qixiang!

Because, that's a burnt dough! And with the appearance of this terrifying face, the girl's originally gentle voice also suddenly rose to a height.

The place that was suspected to be the mouth was long unrecognizable, and only a mass of black flesh was left, but the terrible voice was still coming out, knocking on Qin Qixiang's eardrums: "Father! It hurts like smoke! Why don't you send someone to save me! ”

The girl said and walked closer and closer, but the eyes on that scorched face were still intact, and she was glaring straight at her at this time, full of accusations!

Qin Qixiang couldn't help but be frightened, he had forgotten his identity, and got up from the Taishi chair in a panic and tried to get out from the other side, explaining while retreating: "Father doesn't know what happened to you, Father has already buried you well!" You...... You can go with your mother in peace! ”

Seeing that the girl didn't get any closer, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly grabbed a few steps to open the door, wanting to shout "Escort!" ”

But he suddenly found that he couldn't take a step anymore!

A bad premonition came up his spine, and he didn't dare to look back, only to see a charred hand on his cloud-walking boots.

Seeing this terrifying scene, a string called reason in Qin Qixiang's mind finally broke, and he couldn't care so much anymore, shouting: "Escort!" Come on! Escort! Where have you all been! ”

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, are you alright? ”

Qin Qixiang's head slammed before he woke up, he slowly opened his eyes, and after a while, he finally saw Zhang Peide standing in front of him looking at him anxiously.

"I'm fine, I had a nightmare, pour me a cup of tea." Qin Qixiang waved his hand at Zhang Peide, signaling that he was fine, and then told Zhang Peide to make tea.

"Yes, the old slave will go." With Zhang Peide's current identity, he doesn't need to make tea, but when Qin Qixiang said this, he deliberately wanted to break him away, Zhang Peide naturally understood, so he took the order.

However, even though he was mentally prepared, he was startled by the tall black figure that suddenly appeared behind him.

patted his chest again, screamed scary, and then went out step by step.

"Subordinates see the emperor!" The man in black is none other than Falcon, the new leader of the Dark Guard, who took over after Xiao Qian was sent to protect the crown prince.

He saw that the outsiders had left, so he reported the situation to Qin Qixiang, during which his waist was straight, and his eagle eyes were still as unfluctuating as before.

"Emperor Qiqi, my subordinates have gone to Shanyin to inquire and confirm that Xie Jialin is indeed born and raised there."

"Really? What about the Princess of Smoke? Where was she before she became a disciple of the Xuanyang Sect? Qin Qixiang couldn't help frowning when he remembered the dream just now.

The man in black continued: "Princess Ruyan was raised by an ordinary couple before, but later came to Lingnan, and her adoptive parents died in the war, so she came to the Xuanyang faction and was accepted as a disciple. Princess, her previous name was Xie Cai. ”

Qin Qixiang knew the name Xie Cai before, and he thought it was funny when he heard it at first glance, but then he decided to let her change it back to her original name Qin Ruyan.

After all, Xie Cai is too ugly to hear, and the meaning is not good.

"Are you sure there's no problem?" Although the strength of the secret guard of the royal family is not low, and the news found out will naturally not be wrong, he still feels that with the status of the Xuanyang faction, it is too casual to accept an orphan girl like this.

Unless they already knew Ruyan's identity, but they had concealed it for so many years, and they had to wait for Xiao Qian to get her back, what did it mean?

The man in black had followed Qin Qixiang for many years, and he was half a roundworm in his stomach, so he added: "At first, my subordinates also thought that the Xuanyang faction was too casual in doing this, but later I learned that the princess had a rare and strange disease at that time, and there happened to be one person in the Xuanyang faction who was a good doctor, and ...... Need to practice...... So ......"

The man in black pondered for a while, but his mind was empty, and there was no word to replace, and finally he used the word "practice".

"Is that so?" Qin Qixiang was skeptical, but he had already decided in his heart that it was better to find another opportunity for Xiao Qian to investigate, after all, when everyone else was helpless, it was he who found the princess by himself, and he could be regarded as living up to his expectations of him.

"Okay, you go down, and by the way, call Zhang Peide in." As soon as Qin Qixiang's voice fell, the man in black disappeared in a flash, which was enough to see the high level of his martial arts.

Zhang Peide then came in, holding a tea tray with a pot of hot tea on it, and he stood in the distance and looked at Qin Qixiang, as if waiting for the other party to call him.

Qin Qixiang was a little depressed, Zhang Peide was not a newcomer, why was he still so blind, so he casually opened a book of folds and said impatiently while reviewing: "What are you doing standing there!" Waiting for the tea to cool? ”

Qin Qixiang shouted loudly, which brought Zhang Peide back to his senses, he hurriedly came over and poured a cup of tea for Qin Qixiang, and said in his mouth: "It's the old slave who is confused, but the old slave seems to be very worried when he sees His Majesty recently, I don't know what's going on?" ”

Although it was summer, it was late at night, and after a cup of hot tea, Qin Qixiang suddenly felt a little irritable, and he asked Zhang Peide: "How is the trick?" But what the queen said at the lotus banquet that day should be taken seriously? ”

Zhang Peide nodded: "Niangniang only came to you today, but you were at Shangguan Zhaoyi's place at that time." ”

Well, Qin Qixiang knew in his heart, presumably the queen was going to take it seriously.
