"It's us." The chief of the guard of the forbidden army at the beginning said: "My subordinates took two people on patrol, and when they heard the sound, they hurried up, and when we pushed open the door, we saw that the princess was already paralyzed on the bed, and walked over to make sure that the princess was not saved, so I quickly ordered people to send more manpower, and while blocking the scene, I went to notify people to come." ”

At this time, Xuanyue's envoys were already outside, but because Sikong Mubai was here, they didn't dare to make a mistake when they arrived, they just wanted to come in.

"Your Royal Highness, our princess is here to congratulate His Majesty the Emperor of the Heavenly Domain on his birthday, but I didn't expect to suffer such a bad luck now, we must immediately report to His Majesty the Emperor of Xuanyue, otherwise we will not be able to explain to Your Majesty!"

In fact, the envoy is also panicking now, Princess Chuhan is the emperor's favorite princess, and even the marriage matters follow her own opinions, so she will be allowed to come to the heavenly domain, but I didn't expect to be assassinated now, or use such cruel means, in case Emperor Xuanyue accuses, I am afraid that it will affect everyone.

"Can I find out the truth and then personally repair the book and inform His Majesty Xuanyue?" Sikong Mubai hopes to delay this matter a little, if the murderer can be found, maybe the matter can be controlled within a controllable range.

But the envoy shook his head: "If such a big thing happens, we must immediately inform Your Majesty Xuanyue, because no matter what the truth is, our princess was assassinated in your emperor, you can't escape this responsibility, I really think we must know, but as for the final result, I still have to report to our Majesty Xuanyue as soon as possible." ”

The envoys had already written the letter, but now that the city gates were closed, they could not send it out for the time being, so they could only wait for dawn.

"Anyway, I will also ask my father to repair a letter to apologize to your Emperor Majesty." Sikong Mubai's top priority is to find out the murderer and give an explanation to the envoys.

Sikong Mubai called all the guards and maids on duty at night to ask him, basically the same as before, since this is the case, then there is only one possibility, there is an assassin who sneaked into the room while the maid was napping, quietly killed someone, and slipped out again.

Thinking like this, Sikong Mubai immediately looked up at the beam, he got up and leaned on the beam to check, but the strange thing was that there were no traces left on the beam, indicating that his judgment was wrong.

So how did this man come in and kill the princess?

Sikong Mubai couldn't think of an answer for the time being, so he could only order someone to guard this place, and no one was allowed to approach.

Soon it was dawn, Sikong Mubai and Sikong Qianche hurriedly went home to change their clothes and go to the court, this matter must be dealt with as soon as possible.

But what Sikong Mubai didn't expect was that early the next morning, this matter spread throughout Kyoto.

And another rumor pushed Su Zhiyuan to the forefront.

Everyone was talking about the festival between Princess Chuhan and Su Zhiyuan, and secretly speculated whether Su Zhiyuan bought the killer to kill Princess Chuhan in order to vent his anger.

But all this, Su Zhiyuan didn't care.

What she cared about was that Su Linghao had just come back and hadn't rested for two days, and because of this incident, she could only rush back to Funan City immediately to prepare for the battle later, in case this Xuanyue Emperor was furious because of this incident, and they could only be forced to fight regardless of it.

"Big brother, you just came back and have to leave again two days ago, I really can't bear you." Su Zhiya complained quietly while helping Su Linghao pack up her things.

"Princess Chuhan died in the imperial capital of the Heavenly Domain, this matter can be big or small, as the guard of Funan City, I must prepare for the worst." Su Linghao was also reluctant to let go of his two lovely sisters, but there was no way, if he didn't leave, he couldn't really protect them.

"Then brother should pay attention to protect himself, if there is a chance, I will go to Funan City to meet Shangguan Yan." Su Zhiyuan suddenly missed that place very much, although the conditions were difficult, but the people were very enthusiastic and honest.

"I know, you take care of your sister, if you can't live in the house, go to live in my yard, I came back this time and brought a few people, you know, they are all veterans on the battlefield, homeless, but loyalty is the best, and I can protect you when necessary." Su Linghao packed everything up and was ready to go.

"Okay." Su Zhiyuan agreed.

Su Linghao seemed to remember something, he rummaged for a while, took out a small box, and handed it to Su Zhiyuan: "It wasn't built when you left last time, and I brought it back this time, but I almost forgot it." ”

Su Zhiyuan opened it, and inside it was actually the nine-repeater crossbow designed for Shangguan Yan before.

"It's this!" Su Zhiyuan was very excited, she almost forgot about this thing, and she didn't report any hope, she didn't expect it to really be made.

Su Linghao looked at her happy appearance and advised: "This is not Funan City, you have to be careful, you are originally a person on the cusp, don't cause some trouble that shouldn't be caused." ”

When Su Zhiyuan heard this, he put the crossbow arrow in the box again, and still handed it back to Su Linghao: "Then you should take it, I am really useless, you can take it with you, and you can carry it with you when it is small, maybe you can save your life when it is critical." ”

Su Zhiya hurriedly pulled her: "What nonsense are you talking about, it's really childish." ”

But Su Linghao knew that what Su Zhiyuan said was true, things on the battlefield were changing rapidly, and it was the distance between life and death in an instant.

After thinking about it, he still handed the crossbow arrow to Su Zhiyuan: "You can keep it, the capital is not safe recently, you help me protect Ya'er." ”

Su Zhiyuan hesitated for a moment and agreed.

After Su Linghao left, Su Zhiyuan didn't even go out in the car directly, and he didn't want to be talked about, the longer he stayed in this world, the more he knew that low-key was the best protective color.

Recently, there have been many ups and downs in the capital, and the emperor even held his own birthday banquet in a hurry, and he didn't dare to go to the city wall to have fun with the people like in previous years, after all, the last time Princess Chuhan was assassinated for no reason, and the reason has not been found out until now.

Su Zhiyi wanted to treat Su Zhiya's leg as soon as possible, so he simply found a suitable manor in private, the kind of place suitable for recuperation, and when An Moran prepared the medicine, he could start directly.

After the emperor's birthday, Yue Yinxian was about to return to Loulan, and he went around to find Su Zhiyuan.

"Would you like to come back to Loulan with me?" Yue Yinxian asked straight to the point.

Su Zhiyuan couldn't go to Loulan with him for no reason, so she directly refused: "I don't want to." ”

"Su Zhiyuan, I'm about to leave for Loulan, although our national strength in Loulan is not as good as Xuanyue and Tianyu, but anyone there is honest with each other, it is a very suitable place for you, are you sure you won't go with me?" Yue Yinxian really wanted to take Su Zhiyuan back.

"I'm sorry, no matter how good Loulan is, there is no one I care about, I don't want to go." Although Su Zhiyuan is not from this world, but after coming here for so long, she has already felt the kindness and care of Su Zhiya Yun Guifei and Su Linghao, and she really regards them as her relatives, so she will never leave them to go far away to find the ease she wants.

Yue Yinxian couldn't persuade her, so she could only give up for the time being.

But the next day, Concubine Yun Guifei passed Su Zhiyuan into the palace.

Seeing Su Zhiyuan, Yun Ge said directly: "Iris, the Moon Emperor came to me, saying that he wanted to take you to Loulan, then you can go with him." ”

Su Zhiyuan was stunned, and looked at Yun Guifei: "Niangniang, I don't want to go to Loulan, my sister and you are in the Heavenly Domain, and I won't go anywhere." ”

"Obedient, child, going to Loulan is the best choice for you, this palace will not harm you, just pack up your things when you go back, and go with Yue Yinxian."

Although Concubine Yun Guifei's tone was gentle, the words she said made Su Zhiyuan not even have room to refuse.

Su Zhiyuan was very embarrassed.

"Niangniang, can you tell me why you have to go to Loulan, isn't it good for me to stay in the capital? Isn't it good for me to stay with you? Su Zhiyuan was very puzzled.

"Trust me, kid, go to Loulan, it's better for you than Tianyu." Although Concubine Yun never said why she had to go to Loulan with Su Zhiyuan, she insisted on it.

Su Zhiyuan could only say: "Niang Niang, let me think about it, I still have to treat my sister's leg now, and I really can't go for the time being." ”

"Then you can go back and think about it slowly." Yun Guifei knew that she couldn't be pushed too hard, so she could only let her go back first for the time being.

But as soon as Su Zhiyuan left, the emperor arrived at Concubine Yun's bedroom.

"Your Majesty is here." Concubine Yun is still very gentle in front of the emperor.

"Did you recruit Su Zhiyuan into the palace?" It turned out that the emperor came for this.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"You persuaded her to go to Loulan?" The emperor's eyes flickered, and he didn't know what was going on in his heart.

"The concubine thinks that going to Loulan is her best destination." Concubine Yun Guifei had a lot of things that she couldn't tell the emperor, so she could only insist on her own opinions like this.

The emperor was puzzled: "Wouldn't it be good for her to find a good home in the capital?" Haven't you always loved her the most, don't you like to stay by your side? ”

Tears flashed in Concubine Yun's eyes, and she insisted: "Your Majesty, although the concubine also wants to keep Su Zhiyuan by her side, she still feels that going to Loulan is the best destination for her." ”

"I don't understand your thoughts, I want to marry her to Xia Shurui, the son of Marquis Ning Yuan, I think that although that child is a little stubborn, whether it is family background or appearance, Su Zhiyuan is the best choice." The emperor directly prepared to marry Su Zhiyuan.

Yun Guifei was so frightened that her face was pale: "Please think twice, Your Majesty, that son of the Marquis of Ningyuan's family ......"

It's like a flower stuck in cow dung, where is it matched.

"This matter has been decided, and I will give them a marriage when I get back." The emperor flicked his sleeves away unhappily.

When Sikong Mubai heard about this, he was so frightened that he immediately entered the palace to persuade the emperor to change his mind.

"Father, please take back your fate, your son wants to marry Su Zhiyuan, and Su Zhiyuan must not marry Xia Shurui." Sikong Mubai knelt directly in front of the emperor, his face was very serious.

"What are you thinking, my mind has been decided, you don't have to think about it anymore." The emperor felt that the whole world was against him today, Yun Guifei was disobedient, and Sikong Mubai had just fallen in love with him.

"Ask my father to take back his fate, my son can't do without Su Zhiyuan, if my son can't marry Su Zhiyuan, my son's heart will die, a person with a dead heart, how can he lead troops, and how can he protect his father's territory?" Sikong Mubai knew that in the eyes of the emperor, his greatest use value was to protect his territory.

The emperor sneered: "I still don't believe it, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have a son in Tianyu who could protect my family and defend the country?" ”

"No, father, since I was a child, I haven't begged you for anything, I beg you to marry Su Zhiyuan to your son, this is the last time your son will beg you in this life!" For the sake of Su Zhiyuan, everything he does is worth it.

"Get out!"

The emperor was furious. For the sake of a woman, Sikong Mubai is so useless.

"Yes, father, son-in-law go out, you have to know that Su Zhiyuan's brother Su Linghao is confronting Xuanyue on the front line, if he knows that his most beloved sister was married to Xia Shurui's son, do you know what the consequences will be?"
