"Lord Wang, my subordinates are confused for a while, please forgive the prince!" The guards bowed their heads in shame.

They knew very well that the enmity between the royal family and the Absolute Dust Palace was as deep as the sea, and now the people of the Absolute Dust Palace had dug such a secret passage under their noses, obviously with ill intentions, but they didn't know anything about it, so they felt that their sins deserved to die, so they were so guilty and impulsive that they were so confused that they drew their swords and killed themselves.

The ninth princess's words of encouragement made them wake up suddenly.

Yes, the prince has always treated them well, if they die like this, not only sorry for the trust and friendship of the prince, but also let the rebels of the Absolute Dust Palace continue to act with impunity and hurt the prince, then their death will be worthless.

Thinking about this clearly, the guards looked at the blades on the ground again, and their hearts trembled slightly

And Sima Rui did have the intention of killing these negligent guards, but after hearing Qingyun's words, he instantly calmed down.

The matter has come to this point, even if it is to deal with these guards, it will not help, but the only way to do this is to find out the traitors of the Absolute Dust Palace hidden in the mansion as soon as possible, and the second is to strengthen the vigilance in the mansion, and the people in the mansion should also be thoroughly investigated.

"For the sake of Jiu'er's intercession, this king will spare you this time, and you will each go to get the twenty boards later, if there is a next time, you will not be spared!"

Yun Fei and Long Ying made a move to quickly unravel the guards' acupuncture points.

The guards hurriedly kowtowed and said in unison: "Subordinates, thank you for the grace of the prince not to kill!" So far, I have sworn to protect the safety of the prince and princess, and never let the enemy take advantage of it! Then he kowtowed heavily to Qingyun and thanked him: "The great kindness of the ninth princess, the subordinates will not forget!" ”

"Get up." Qingyun nodded slightly.

In exchange for their loyal protectors, in exchange for better protection for the third brother and the third emperor's sister-in-law, this is what she really wants to see.

The rest of the guards and the guards who hid in the shadows were also deeply shaken, and their hearts became more and more determined to be loyal to the prince to the death.

"Lord Wang, all the people in the palace have arrived, please show the prince!"

Behind Ah Jun, all the guards and subordinates of the palace bowed their heads and knelt on the ground after saluting, not understanding what the prince was asking them to do here at this time?

Sima Rui looked at Qingyun: "Jiu'er, now that everyone is here, you can do whatever you want." ”

"Third Brother ......"

Although it is said that it is to track down the rebels of the Absolute Dust Palace, but in the end this is the third brother's mansion and the people in the palace, and the third brother and the third emperor's sister-in-law are the masters of the palace, she is really not suitable to overstep her bounds, Qingyun Qingli's face showed a slight embarrassment, but after seeing Sima Rui's trusting and doting eyes, she sighed secretly, then turned around, looked at everyone and said coldly: "Raise your heads." ”

Qingyun's eyes swept over the people who raised their heads one by one, looking at the flickering hearts and panic in the eyes of several of them, Qingyun raised his eyebrows, and a demonic sneer crossed the corner of his lips.

Just about to call those people out of the ranks, Mu Xue, who slipped to the side of a courtyard wall for some reason, suddenly howled a few times at the light cloud wolf, and then howled a few times at the wolf outside the courtyard wall there, light cloud understood, obviously the right protector did not stay after coming out of the dark passage, but fled directly over the courtyard wall: "Third brother, there is no one I am looking for here, I still have something to do, so I will leave first." ”

Sima Rui pondered for a moment and realized that the rebel thief of the Absolute Dust Palace tracked down by Jiu'er was not in the mansion at the moment: "I'll send you." ”

It just so happened that Qingyun also wanted to ask Sima Rui about something, so he nodded, said goodbye to Xu Kexin, and walked side by side with Sima Rui to the back door of the palace.

The back door of the palace.

Looking at Sima Rui, who wanted to stop talking, Qingyun said clearly: "Third brother, don't worry, everything is under the control of my father and me, Gong Yingjie has also been arrested, as for the remnants of the Absolute Dust Palace who escaped, I have my own way to deal with it." ”

"That's good." Only then did Sima Rui put his mind at ease.

"Third Brother" Qingyun thought for a while and asked, "Do you know what the Emperor summoned the ministers tonight to discuss?" Does it have anything to do with me? ”

Since she participated in political affairs, her father would consult her on everything, unless she was not in the capital, and there had never been a situation like tonight to avoid her summoning ministers, which could only mean that the matter discussed between her father and the minister was related to her, could it be her marriage? After all, Chen Yu had just asked his father for marriage, and his father obviously disapproved of her being with Chen Yu, but if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem to be like it, you have to know that it's a bit abnormal that even her brothers didn't participate.

"I ......"

"Please don't hide it from me, third brother."

Sima Rui was stunned when he heard this, and then returned to his usual coldness in the blink of an eye, so fast that people mistakenly thought that the stunned look was just an illusion.

In fact, he has never hidden anything from Jiu'er, except for his feelings for Jiu'er, and this matter, but this matter is very important, and his father strictly ordered them not to reveal the slightest bit to Jiu'er, otherwise, ...... He had to obey his father's will.

"Jiu'er, I really don't know what the Emperor summoned the minister tonight to discuss, so I have no way of knowing if it has something to do with you."

Qingyun, who stared at him for a moment, keenly caught the strange look on his face, and his dark eyes sank slightly, it seems that her guess was right, but the third brother didn't want to say it, so she didn't have to get to the bottom of it, thus hurting her father and brothers.

"Since the third brother doesn't know what to do, I won't ask anymore." Glancing at the palace guards behind him, Qingyun said in a voice that Sima Rui could only hear with his heart: "Third brother, the people in your mansion should be thoroughly investigated, especially ......" After speaking, after returning the coat to Sima Rui, Qingyun left with Mu Xue and Zike and others.

In the bright moonlight, the proud and elegant back gradually faded away, and Sima Rui's eyes were dark and deep, and he resolutely turned around and returned to the courtyard for a long time.

This night, Rui Wangfu is destined to be a sleepless night.

With Mu Xue's keen sense of smell, after Qingyun and the others tracked all the way to the moat in the west, Mu Xue shook her snow-white head at Qingyun.

Qingyun understood that the Right Protector was naturally leaving from the moat, and Mu Xue couldn't smell the scent of the Right Protector, so it was pointless to continue tracking.

Looking at Qingyun, whose face was as calm as water, Zi Ke hesitated for a while and said cautiously: "Princess, Weichen found Princess Rui's embroidered shoes......"

"It's not the third imperial sister-in-law." Knowing what Zike wanted to say, Qingyun interrupted her at the right time, looked up at the moonlight in the pitch-black sky, and sighed slightly: "The third emperor's sister-in-law has a deep affection for the third brother, she will not hurt the third brother!" ”

Retracting his gaze and looking directly at Zi Ke, Qingyun said meaningfully: "As the old saying goes, if the mountains and rivers are empty, it is better to take pity on the people in front of you!" Some people regret some things for life once they miss them, Zike, what do you think? ”
