"Brother Xie, Your Majesty." Although there are usually people who attack Xiao Shujun, they are not as menacing as this time. They had not been reported by the spies before, and they were caught off guard.

"Then you take care of your injuries, and the official business will be taken care of by King Ning for the time being. I still have official business, so I'll leave first. ”

"The younger brother is unable to move, so he won't get up to see His Majesty."

The emperor acquiesced, and the group walked straight out of the Longying Palace.

"I'm afraid this assassination is not simple, the people I sent to investigate the real culprit behind the scenes either didn't find it, or they were killed and killed." Xiao Shuwei had a headache and came to discuss with Xiao Shujun.

Xiao Shujun knew that he had encountered a hard bone this time, and even the King of Qin, who was in power and in the opposition, was helpless.

"Do you think it will be ......" Xiao Shuwei stopped talking.

"Impossible." Xiao Shujun hurriedly interrupted. "If you want a head, don't talk about it again.

The two tacitly agreed, but neither dared to mention the emperor. Xiao Shujun still has hope for his eldest brother at the moment. Although he could feel the emperor's suspicion of them, he would not put them to death.

The emperor's ability is insufficient, and the courtiers are obvious to all, but the kings of Qin and Ning have always tried their best to assist in making the world peaceful. This is also why some courtiers admired King Qin more than the emperor. was understood by the emperor as Xiao Shujun's secret cultivation of his own power, and regarded it as a thorn in his side.

"Got it." Although Xiao Shuwei was skeptical, Xiao Shujun said this, and this idea was dispelled.

After investigating for several days, there was still no result, but they suddenly received news from the emperor, saying that they had found the mastermind behind their assassination.

Xiao Shujun's injury has healed a lot and he can move around at will. met the emperor with Xiao Shuwei.

As soon as they arrived at the top of the main hall, the two saw Yue Bufan, the leader of the Yue family's army, kneeling on the top of the main hall. Xiao Shujun faintly felt that things were not so simple.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are wronged, and it is impossible for a hundred ministers to dare to harm His Royal Highness King Qin and His Royal Highness King Ning." Yue Bu is an ordinary person sitting at home, and disaster comes from heaven.

Listening to General Yue's words, you can hear that General Yue was identified as the mastermind behind this assassination.

"Your Majesty, is there any misunderstanding during this period, I also believe that General Yue will not do this." Xiao Shuwei really couldn't understand what reason General Yue, who had always been loyal and served the country, to assassinate him and his second brother.

"Third brother, someone wants to kill you, and you still help him hide the knife, how can you rest assured that you let me, the eldest brother, be relieved." It is rare for the emperor to start playing the emotional card.

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Shuwei didn't know what to say, so she could only listen to the emperor continue to finalize the case.

"The assassins caught yesterday have identified you as their mastermind, and the arrows left at the scene that day were unique to the Yue family's army. There are all the human and material evidence, do you still want to deny it? "The emperor was so aggressive that Yue Buqun could barely breathe.

Xiao Shujun, who was standing on top of the main hall, didn't say a word from beginning to end, but he saw it thoroughly. Human and physical evidence can be forged, not to mention that if it was really Yue Buqun's doing, how could it be possible to leave such obvious evidence as the Yue family's unique bow and arrow at the scene? How could the usually cautious emperor not find these suspicions, but he didn't mention a word, which is obviously what the Son of Heaven means when he says that he is guilty, and he is guilty.

The Yue family army has a heavy army, and now it is in the limelight, and the emperor clearly took this opportunity to get rid of Yue Bufan.

But if he helps himself, and he can't find the real culprit, it is equivalent to adding fuel to the fire, I'm afraid that Yue Bufan won't survive tonight.

"Come on, put Yue Bufan and Yue's mansion into the heavenly prison, and wait for the fate." The assassination of the prince is a big crime for the nine clans, and the emperor is determined to get rid of Yue Bufan.

But the Yue family army is deeply popular with the people, and if the emperor gets rid of it so hastily, I am afraid that it will arouse public resentment.

The next day, when he went to court, he mostly wanted the emperor to let go of General Yue's recital, which gave the emperor a headache. The fact that so many people spoke for Yue Bufan shows that General Yue is also popular in the court, which is invisibly equivalent to adding fuel to the fire and harming Yue Bufan.

"Your Majesty, it seems that it is urgent to kill Yue Bufan."

The emperor also felt the same, for fear that he would have a lot of dreams at night in the future.

Although Xiao Shujun deliberately wanted to save Yue Bufan, he never dared to act rashly. The injury has not yet healed, and Yue Bufan's things really make Xiao Shujun unbearable.

suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen Qin Kexin for a long time, so he temporarily moved to the Siyi Bureau.

When I arrived at the Clothing Bureau, I saw Qin Kexin standing by the lake in an elegant and agile white dress. Seeing this scene, Xiao Shujun's troubles were temporarily forgotten. Come to think of it, her leg injury is almost healed.

"It's so leisurely and enjoyable to enjoy the scenery."

Hearing the familiar voice, Qin Kexin turned around in surprise, and sure enough, it was Xiao Shujun, who he hadn't seen for more than ten days.

"I've been busy with official business lately, and I really can't find you anymore, so don't be angry." Xiao Shujun looked at Qin Kexin with smiling eyes.

Qin Kexin wanted to give Xiao Shujun countless white eyes: "If you don't come to me, I have nothing to be angry about, I'm afraid that His Royal Highness King Qin is making himself amorous." Although he said so, Xiao Shujun was a little bored after not seeing Xiao Shujun for a long time, but now that he came to her again, his injuries were mostly healed, and he was naturally happy.

"It's a hard mouth." Xiao Shujun had already seen through Qin Kexin's careful thoughts, and only found it interesting, so he smiled even more.

Everyone said that His Royal Highness King Qin was not smiling, but Qin Kexin didn't think so.

"Any news about the Assassins?" Qin Kexin wanted to say that since the serious injury had not healed, he would rest more, but after all, he was embarrassed to speak.

Qin Kexin asked, and Xiao Shujun told Qin Kexin about Yue Bufan.

"General Yue was obviously wronged, and the emperor just wanted to take this opportunity to take the military power from General Yue's hands. But General Yue was heartfelt and never had two hearts. I wanted to save General Yue, but I didn't dare to act rashly. ”

After hearing this, Qin Kexin pondered for a moment and said, "The emperor is suspicious by nature, I'm afraid he won't let General Yue go easily." But what the emperor wanted was nothing more than military power in the hands of General Yue. As long as you, the victim, go to intercede, General Liuyue will be in the whole house, but the military power will be handed over, and the emperor will presumably open the net. ”

After listening to Qin Kexin's suggestion, Xiao Shujun felt that this was the best way now. General Yue had no intention of power, as long as he and his family were left alive, it was already a foolproof strategy.

I didn't expect that Xiao Shujun, who was just here to relax, could still solve Qin Kexin's doubts, and Xiao Shujun was very satisfied.

"You're really my little lucky star." Excited for a moment, Xiao Shujun actually scraped Qin Kexin's nose with his fingers.

Aware of Xiao Shujun's movements, the two froze in place.

"Uh...... It's as if I've repaid your life. Qin Kexin changed the subject.

Knowing that Qin Kexin was talking about Xiao Shujun blocking arrows for her, Xiao Shujun smiled heartily.

"I want to repay the grace of saving my life so hastily? It's a beautiful idea. Xiao Shujun obviously didn't really want Qin Kexin to repay him, just joking.

"Okay, then you say how you want me to repay, just tell me." I didn't expect Xiao Shujun's joke Qin Kexin to be so serious.

"Then I'll tell you when I'm ready." Xiao Shujun saw Qin Kexin's serious and cute appearance, his heart itched, and he really wanted to take her into his arms. But after all, he held back, he didn't want to scare Qin Kexin.

Qin Kexin acquiesced, she really wanted to repay Xiao Shujun for saving her life.

"By the way, was the tonic soup that Min'er brought you good last time?" Qin Kexin recovered from her injuries and learned how to make soup from Luo Ying, if Xiao Shujun said it was delicious, she would make it for him to drink.

"Soup? I haven't drunk it. Xiao Shujun tried hard to recall, but he never remembered that Min'er brought the soup to him.

"How is that possible? On that day, you brought Jin Chuangyao, and I asked Min'er to bring you the soup to drink. Qin Kexin was puzzled.

"I'll go back and ask Min'er, maybe she's mistaken." Xiao Shujun didn't know why he didn't drink the soup sent by Qin Kexin.

Qin Kexin had no choice but to acquiesce.

Although he really wanted to stay with Qin Kexin for a while, Xiao Shujun had to go back and plead with the emperor on behalf of General Yue. The Yue family may be in a different place at any time, and they can't be disgusted.

After saying goodbye to Qin Kexin, Xiao Shuwei walked to the emperor's study.

"Won't you come here to intercede for Yue Bufan?" The emperor didn't raise his head and said, it seemed that Yue's extraordinary things had been decided, and there was no room for maneuver.

"Your Majesty, although General Yue has committed an unforgivable crime, after all, he has also won the hearts of the people, and now he is summarily executed, I am afraid that it will arouse the anger of the people, and there will be changes in the Yue family's army."

"Yue Bufan assassinated you and Shu Wei, and you still want to intercede for him?" I'm afraid that the drama of the emperor thief shouting to catch the thief will be sung to the end.

Of course, Xiao Shujun knew that Yue Bufan was not the real murderer who assassinated him, but he knew in his heart that it was useless to argue with the emperor about these at this time. After all, what the emperor wants is only military power, and nothing else matters.

"Brother Chen, I have a foolproof plan." Xiao Shujun came this time for only one purpose, that is, to save the lives of hundreds of people in the Yue family.

"Tell me about it." The emperor is naturally jealous of the people.

"Death is avoidable, but living sin is inescapable. It is better to take Yue Bufan's military power, send Yue's mansion up and down to the frontier, and never return to Beijing. Sparing them a life also shows the emperor's mercy, and others naturally can't say anything. Xiao Shujun told the emperor all the methods he got from Qin Kexin.

Listening to Xiao Shujun's words, the emperor's hand turning the book paused, as if he was hesitating, and the heart of the Yue family who had to execute the Yue family before seemed to be a little shaken.

Xiao Shujun, who was meticulously observant, naturally saw the subtle changes in the emperor, and hooked the beautiful corners of his mouth at an angle that the emperor couldn't see.

"Since the people who were assassinated by Yue Bufan interceded for him, I had no choice but to take his military power and spare their lives as you said." When the emperor said this, he was clearly giving himself a step down.

Xiao Shujun smiled and said nothing.

After the two of them spoke, the emperor issued a holy decree and immediately received the military power of the Yue family, and everyone in the Yue family was assigned to the frontier and was never allowed to return to the court.

Seeing that although General Yue, whom he admired, made a mistake, he saved his life after all, the people naturally had no complaints.

When the Yue family came out of the prison, Xiao Shujun and Xiao Shuwei decided to send them off for the last time, after all, they were involved in the assassination of the two of them.
