The faint candlelight in the room danced endlessly, reflecting the man in the ink robe next to him.

At this moment, his warm phoenix eyes stared deeply at the sandalwood table in the room, his thick and dense long eyelashes cast a faint shadow on his eye sockets, and there was a faint sadness on his jade-like handsome face.

The door was pushed open with a "squeak", thinking it was a small servant, and he couldn't help frowning, and a faint displeasure rose in his heart that he was disturbed.

Before he could raise his eyes, a familiar voice sounded behind him with a hint of anger: "Murong Yan, I can be regarded as looking for you!" ”

His eyelashes flashed, the corners of his mouth fluttered uncontrollably, his phoenix eyes turned back brightly, and there was an elegant smile in the depths of his eyes.

Dare to laugh!

Su Ziran pursed her lips: "Can you please make it clear next time you say where you live?" If I hadn't happened to run into two Enlightenment envoys, I'm afraid I wouldn't have found you here tomorrow. ”

The smile on the corner of the man's mouth became a little thicker: "You are so smart, why can't you even find where I live?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Su Ziran rolled her eyes, "If it weren't for the fact that you saved me today, I wouldn't have bothered to climb over the wall to find you." Speaking of this, she couldn't help but glance at his injured hand, and frowned slightly, "Why hasn't it been bandaged yet?" ”

Seeing that she had finally regained the unrestrained appearance she had when she first met, Murong Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Today, her "Prince Murong" almost made him think that she had changed - because she was married, she became strange to him and made him incomprehensible, but fortunately she is still her now.

With a hint of banter in his eyes, he stretched out his hand to her, looking natural: "This is to save you, so I'm waiting for you to bandage me." ”

The corners of Su Ziran's mouth twitched almost invisibly, why hadn't he seen him for a year, and this person had become like this?

"It's a shame that you're still the prince of the past, but I'm your savior, and now I'm just suffering such a small injury, so I'm going to worry about it?"

The man's eyes flashed, and the corners of his curved lips overflowed with a trace of self-deprecating bitterness: "Didn't you say it, you don't expect to repay your kindness." ”

"When will I ......" Su Ziran retorted in a raised tone, halfway through the words, he was stunned, and his expression suddenly became a little unnatural.

Kindness is not reciprocated—she did say that, and when he said he was going to marry her a year earlier, she rejected him on that ground. It's really embarrassing for him to mention it in this joking way now.

"That...... Where's the medicine? She sneered and tugged at the corners of her mouth, lowered her eyes and pointed to her hand, "Although the wound is small, it must be treated well in time, if it is infected, the gain will outweigh the loss." ”

Knowing that she didn't want to say it again, he didn't force it, and nodded softly: "Well, not next time." ”

The green silk like a waterfall slipped from her shoulder, the candle flame jumped, Murong Yan's eyes stared at her deeply, seeing her eyes focused on bandaging her wounds, her long-sealed heart shrank irrepressibly.

It seemed that there was only a moment in such a short time, and I heard her whisper: "Okay, it's done!" ”

Su Ziran clapped her hands, raised her lips and smiled: "You have been paying attention to it yourself in the past two days, remember to change the dressing on time, and don't get wet." ”

"Okay." He smiled softly, his crystal phoenix eyes full of pampering.

She pointed to the door: "Then I'm leaving, take care of yourself." ”

Murong Yan was slightly stunned, and then nodded again, still smiling handsome and elegant, but his deep phoenix eyes were no longer clear.

Su Ziran didn't expect to see Jun Luohan when he returned to Qingfeng Residence, so he still pushed the door and walked in as usual. When her eyes touched the purple beside the bed, her pupils shrank in astonishment, and there was a hint of disbelief in her thin lips.

How did he come?

Nishang was frightened, shouldn't he be accompanied and appeased in the courtyard of Nishang?

Seeing that the other party suddenly raised his head and glanced at her, she quietly narrowed her eyes, and smiled softly and respectfully: "Lord Wang......"

The man didn't expect her to be like this, she has always been a woman who doesn't know how to be polite, why did she suddenly become so gentle and virtuous?

He raised his eyebrows, as if the phoenix eyes that were insightful of the world shot straight at her: "Where did the princess go just now?" ”

"It's just that I couldn't sleep at night, so I walked around the palace twice."

"Really?" The man stared at her with a smirk.

Her eyes were fluttering, she smiled lightly, and her expression was not the slightest unnatural: "If the prince doesn't believe it, you can ask Mrs. Ru, we just met in the garden." ”

Jun Luohan sneered softly, he had been waiting here for so long, could it be that she had been wandering around the palace all these days?

"No matter what you have done, this king is here tonight, just to remind you that Murong Yan is the Prince of Qisheng, and you had better not have too much to do with him."

"Zi Ran doesn't quite understand what the prince means." She curled her lips, her face was as usual, "As Princess Rui, what can Zi Ran and Prince Murong have to do too much?" ”

The man narrowed his eyes and smiled mockingly: "This king is very happy that the princess still remembers that she is Princess Rui, so please keep the princess in mind, no matter what your relationship with Rong Heng and Murong Yan was, from now on, don't get too close to them." ”

She was slightly stunned, then returned to normal in an instant, and nodded respectfully: "Zi Ran knows." ”

The man twisted his eyebrows, and his sharp phoenix eyes stared at her gentle appearance for a moment, and his heart was irritable.

For some reason, she was obviously obedient like she had never been, but he didn't want to see her talk to him in such a tone, and it always sounded awkward and weird. If he could, he would have preferred her to refute him and contradict him as she had done before, rather than be as docile as she was now.

Clenching his fists, he ignored the meaning in his heart, said no more, and walked away.

Su Ziran blinked, looking at the corners of the crimson robe gently rippling away at the door with some innocent eyes, not quite understanding why the man looked like this now.

Isn't the way she looks like this is what he wants to see, and what is he not satisfied with?

Outside, a bright crescent moon hangs in the star-dotted night sky, and the vast and ethereal canopy seems to be reachable, but it is clearly out of reach.

Early the next morning.

In the court, Emperor Jing's cold eyes swept over the people below, and his voice was deep: "Where is the book of the Criminal Department?" ”

Shangshu of the Criminal Department frowned numbly, and everyone's happy and sympathetic eyes swept towards him, which made him feel bitter in his heart.

He slowly stepped out of the queue and bowed to Emperor Jing above the dragon chair: "The minister is here." ”

"What happened to what I asked you to check yesterday?"

Needless to say, everyone also knows what yesterday's incident refers to, isn't it the assassination in the Zhenghe Temple?

At the time of the emperor's birthday banquet, he was assassinated, especially when the envoys of various countries were present, he was inevitably even more angry, and he lost his interest, and lost his face!

The secretary of the criminal department was ashamed, and lowered his head: "Back to the emperor, the minister is incompetent, and he has not found out who is behind the scenes." ”

Emperor Jing's face turned pale, and his sharp eyes narrowed fiercely: "The assassin can't be caught, and the people behind the scenes can't find out, what do I want you useless things to do!" ”

"Damn it!" Shangshu of the Criminal Department knelt down with a thud, the old man's face was wrinkled and twisted, and there was really nowhere to say that he was really bitter in his heart! The matter of arresting people is not what their criminal department should do, but now where does the emperor care so much, and if he is caught casually, he will be angry with him.

"The emperor is angry, and the ministers should die!" The court suddenly knelt in darkness.

Emperor Jing's cold gaze swept around everyone: "You all have to investigate it for me, and you must find out about this matter!" If anyone finds out the real culprit behind this incident, I will be rewarded! ”

How to investigate this kind of unfounded thing?

The Shangshu of the Criminal Department was distressed, he went to ask the origin of the group of assassins as soon as he came out of the Zhenghe Hall yesterday, but they were like wings, they came and went without a trace, no one knew where they came from, and even the group of dancing girls who were originally arranged only said that they were suddenly stunned, and it was the next day when they woke up, and they found themselves in the rockery of the palace. The guards at the gate of the palace said that no one had left the palace, but the guards in the palace searched all over the four rooms and six palaces but did not see the whereabouts of the assassins, and all the assassins seemed to have evaporated from the world.

The strangest and most incomprehensible thing is the purpose of the group of assassins, all of them are women, but all of them are strong in martial arts, I don't know how many times stronger than ordinary killers, the palace guards are not their opponents at all, but in the end, this assassination is like a farce without a goal, and it didn't hurt any important people at all, but only killed and injured a few palace guards.

Usually this kind of assassination is nothing more than staring at the emperor, but according to his observation yesterday, the two assassins surrounding Emperor Jing do not seem to be the leaders, but the one who is heading for the Qisheng Prince is the one who gives the final order to evacuate.

Could it be that the real purpose of the assassins was not to assassinate, but to destroy the friendly diplomatic relations between Tianque and Qisheng for so many years?

Thinking of this, his heart was shocked, and he was about to say what he thought, but he saw Song Lian whispering a few words beside Emperor Jing with a solemn expression.

Emperor Jing's face changed suddenly, and he didn't even care about the presence of the courtiers, so he stood up suddenly.

All the ministers were stunned, what happened to make the emperor so confused?

Emperor Jing's eyebrows were tightly locked, his voice was deep, and he said word by word: "Prince Moyuan, died in the West Street Post House!" ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the court, wasn't it okay yesterday, why did he suddenly die in just one night?

The death of the prince of Moyuan, I am afraid that a battle between Tianque and Moyuan is inevitable! Originally, Moyuan was eyeing the surrounding countries, but now with this kind of reason, it is even more natural to send troops to Tianque. Tianque is the one who loses the party, and I am afraid that even a friendly state like Qisheng will not help.

The assassination of Zhenghedian only happened yesterday, and the death of such an important guest in the West Street Post House today is it a coincidence or premeditated?
