"Here, let's have some tea." Mei Xiang handed the teacup to Hua Shenyue, and Hua Shenyue took it with both hands and brought it to her mouth. In Mei Xiang's opinion, Hua Shenyue took a sip without defense, but in fact, Hua Shenyue sniffed it carefully and confirmed that there was no poison before drinking.

Hua Shenyue took a sip of tea, then put the teacup on the table, Mei Xiang's eyes followed Hua Shenyue's movements, fell on the teacup on the table, and then moved to the plate on the table.

"Shen Yue, is the pastry I sent you last night delicious?" Mei Xiang looked at the plate, looked up at Hua Shenyue again, and asked.

"Mei Xiang, I'm here today to tell you this." Hua Shenyue's expression was a little serious, she looked directly into Mei Xiang's eyes, but Mei Xiang didn't dare to look at her eyes, just lowered her head and looked at the plate.

Oh no, did she really find out? No, if she really found out, she would have come to me angrily to settle accounts, it couldn't be this smiling face. Mei Xiang thought to herself.

"What's wrong? Isn't it tasty? Mei Xiang squeezed out a smile and asked.

"I'm sorry, Mei Xiang, I let down your kindness, I was too sleepy last night, I went to bed to rest after you left, so I didn't eat a single bite of the pastries you specially sent me, and when I got up this morning, the pastries were broken, so I threw them away."

Hua Shenyue pretended to look guilty, and when Mei Xiang heard it, her heart immediately felt relieved. She thought that she was found out by Hua Shenyue by poisoning the pastry, but fortunately it was a false alarm.

Mei Xiang sighed in her heart that she was too worried, if Hua Shenyue really found out that the pastry was poisoned, how could Hua Shenyue come to her so calmly. It shouldn't be anything to see her like this, she shouldn't scare herself now.

"What should I do, it doesn't matter, if you want to eat, I'll send you some next time." Mei Xiang breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and the expression on her face relaxed a lot.

Hua Shenyue naturally observed the change in Mei Xiang's expression, she did this just to see what other tricks Mei Xiang had, and also to find out who wanted to harm her. Otherwise, with Hua Shenyue's character, he will definitely not be able to bear it.

But for now, in order to get more information, I'm just pretending for the time being.

"Okay, then thank you in advance, Mei Xiang." Hua Shenyue seemed to be very happy, she stood up and blessed Mei Xiang.

"Shen Yue, you are too polite, your own sister, don't say such kind words." Mei Xiang also stood up, she pressed Hua Shenyue to the stool and sat down, and the two of them talked back and forth, although they were all trivial matters.

But Mei Xiang's expression was obviously getting more and more wrong, Hua Shenyue's words hinted several times that Mei Xiang was dissatisfied with her, and Mei Xiang's heart became more and more nervous, but in order not to expose herself, she still pretended that nothing had happened.

In order for things to go more smoothly, even if she did it, she would never be able to show it.

Hua Shenyue didn't expect that this Mei Xiang's mouth was much more cautious than she imagined, and she couldn't even find any flaws at all. She knew that there were a lot of things she couldn't know if she stayed here now, so she just left to see what they wanted to do next.

"Mei Xiang, we have already talked a lot today, and I am quite happy, but today the prince still has something to do, so I will leave first." Hua Shenyue took another sip of tea from the teacup and said to Mei Xiang.

"Okay, since the prince has something to do with you, then you can go quickly." Mei Xiang nodded, and didn't seem to want to continue to keep Hua Shenyue. Her person looked like she was already sweating nervously.

"Then I'll go first!" Hua Shenyue got up, pushed open the door and left. Mei Xiang looked at Hua Shenyue's back and closed the door, she leaned against the door and breathed a sigh of relief.

God knows how nervous she was when she saw Hua Shenyue waiting at the door, if Hua Shenyue really found out that she was poisoned, with Hua Shenyue's status by Fu Qinglian's side, she would be sold to the Qinglou at best, and her life would be gone.

Mei Xiang gasped for breath, fortunately nothing happened this time, and she would have to be more cautious in the future.

"It's too dangerous this time, I must succeed next time, otherwise, I will be scared again." Mei Xiang leaned against the door and muttered to herself.

Hua Shenyue hummed a little song and walked to her room, she was in a good mood, although Mei Xiang pretended to be indifferent on the surface, but Hua Shenyue saw the fear and worry in her heart, and also saw Mei Xiang's expression of relief when she thought she didn't know.

Hua Shenyue never knew that she could act so well, and if she was herself, she might not be able to see that she was acting. As for Fu Qinglian looking for her for something, it's nonsense, Hua Shenyue just doesn't want to stay with Mei Xiang anymore.

To pretend that she didn't know and Mei Xiang had a deep sisterhood, Hua Shenyue only felt very sorry in her heart. So he simply found an excuse and hurriedly left Mei Xiang's room.

Weinan City, Weinan Mansion Yanei.

"My lord, there is a person who asks to see him, and he claims to be Wang Qingyuan's subordinate of Wang Shangshu." The guards came in to give a notice.

"Oh? Let him in. The prefect put down the affairs in his hand, and he was a little puzzled, how could Wang Qingyuan and Wang Shangshu in the capital suddenly send someone to this Weinan City.

Could it be that something is happening? He felt a little uneasy in his heart, so he wanted to see the situation immediately.

"See the prefect." The visitor knelt on the ground and saluted the prefect, looking respectful.

"Hurry up, please get up, Wang Shangshu sent you?" The prefect asked. At this time, I was even more anxious.

"Exactly, his subordinate Yan Qi is the personal guard beside Lord Shangshu." The guard stood up, took out a token from his bosom, and handed it to Huang Yan, the prefect of Weinan City.

Huang Yan took it and saw that it was the token of Shangshu Mansion, and instantly felt that this matter was far more complicated than he imagined, and it seemed that something had happened to the emperor.

He immediately looked at him squarely, and looked at him with a torch in his eyes.

"What does Lord Shangshu want this official to do?" Huang Yan returned the token to the guard and asked.

"Your Excellency, you will know from this letter." The guard took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Huang Yan, who took it and opened it to read it.

"I see." Huang Yan's expression became solemn as he read the letter.

In the letter, Wang Shangshu asked Huang Yan to send someone to escort the captured man in black back to Beijing, and he was ordered to investigate the assassination of King Jing outside the city of Weinan.

Unexpectedly, in such a period of time, so many things have happened in the capital, and the things here are far more complicated than he imagined, there must be people behind the scenes, and there must be an organized attempt to murder the prince.

There are not a few people in their team, and it seems that what the prince said before is true.

"I'm afraid this capital is going to be in chaos." Huang Yan touched his beard and sighed.

I didn't expect to be involved in this event this time.

"You came from afar, come here, take Yan Gongzi down to rest, Yan Gongzi rest assured, this official has his own opinions." Huang Yan said.

"Your Excellency doesn't have to bother, your subordinates have to rush back to the capital now to report to Lord Shangshu, please finish this matter as soon as possible, Lord Shangshu and His Royal Highness King Jing are waiting in the capital." Yan Qi said that, then saluted Huang Yan and left.

After Yan Qi left, Huang Yan opened the letter again and read it carefully. Wang Shangshu is very cautious, in the letter, he has already thought of the plan, if Wang Shangshu's plan is followed, the only remaining man in black will be foolproof.

There will be no further mistakes, and this time the task can be completed without a hitch.

At the gate of Weinan City, as soon as Yan Qi stepped into this Weinan City, dozens of people behind him entered Weinan City one after another. That's right, these people are the assassins sent by Meng Zhendong.

Meng Zhendong didn't dare to attack Yan Qi, after all, if the guards sent by Wang Qingyuan to deliver a letter to Huang Yan died on the way, Meng Zhendong would be the first to be suspected. Besides, if one dies, Wang Qingyuan will send a second one.

In any case, killing the only remaining man in black is the way to do it once and for all. When the time comes, push the crime to the thieves, even if Fu Qinglian and Fu Beixing will suspect Meng Zhendong, but there is no evidence, what can they do with him.

Dozens of assassins hid among the people of Weinan City, waiting for Huang Yan to send someone to escort the last man in black into Beijing.

Meng Zhendong thought that his plan was foolproof, but he didn't expect that the place where he mined copper mines and minted copper coins privately had been discovered by Fu Qinglian.

According to the content of the letter, Huang Yan quickly arranged the people and horses, and planned to arrange for them to leave early tomorrow morning.

In the evening of the same day, before the gate was closed, a carriage drove out of the street behind the prefect's mansion, and there were only two people in the carriage driving the horses, and there were only three people in the carriage.

There was nothing unusual about this carriage, it was no different from the carriage of ordinary people. Therefore, the soldiers defending the city did not find anything strange about this matter, and the people in the carriage said that they were going out of the city to visit relatives, and the soldiers guarding the city directly let the carriage pass.

The carriage left the city gate and rushed along the official road in the direction of the capital, and the speed was very fast. Ride the dust.

Early the next morning, at the entrance of the prefect's office, a carriage with prisoners parked there, surrounded by guards from Weinan City, and the prefect Huang Yan was talking to the head of the guards, as if he was explaining something.

"Remember, if someone comes to assassinate him, just pretend to deal with it, and don't lose your life." Huang Yan covered his mouth with his hands and whispered to the head of the guard.

Now put this black man here, if Meng Zhendong's people know about it, he will definitely send someone to kill people, he has already got the clue he knows, there is no need to continue to fight with his subordinates.

Besides, if these subordinates really dare to come out at that time, he can send more people to catch his subordinates.

"Yes, my lord, my subordinates understand." Zhang Qian, the head of the guard, nodded in response.

"Okay, let's go, we must send the prisoner to the capital smoothly." Huang Yan stood in front of the palace gate and shouted to the guards waiting in place.
