Xiao Rui asked Lu Su to sit down, poured her a cup of tea, and asked her to speak slowly and explain clearly what was going on!

Lu Su's anxious heart calmed down, and in the face of Xiao Rui's inquiry, she didn't know where to start for a while. After all, she had just learned about the situation from Lu Pheasant, and Lu Pheasant's life was so tortuous that Lu Su never dared to imagine.

After a while, Lu Su organized his words and said, "Your Highness, the person who captured me is the leader of the assassins of the Qi Kingdom, called Lu Ao, and his purpose in arresting me is to threaten my sister and let my sister assassinate Your Majesty!" My sister disagreed and said she wanted to see me safe first. After seeing me, my sister told me all the truth, and came up with a plan to exchange identities with me, and I escaped according to my sister's arrangement, but my sister was imprisoned. ”

Lu Su and Lu Pheasant are twins, not only are they indistinguishable from each other in appearance, but even their voices are similar, and Lu Ao is also distinguished by his clothes, appearance and personality.

In fact, Lu Pheasant is very worried, because Lu Su is weak, once he shows something strange and is noticed by the cunning Lu Ao, he will find the problem. Therefore, after Lu Pheasant asked Lu Su to get into the carriage, he asked first, and did not let Lu Ao ask questions, so as to avoid Lu Su not being able to answer. The other is to pray that Lu Ao will not test Lu Su's skills, because Lu Su has no martial arts.

Fortunately, no one noticed the problem, Lu Ao thought that the great cause could be accomplished, but he was carried away by the excitement, and he did not discover Lu Pheasant and Lu Su's plan.

It's just that Xiao Rui was puzzled and asked, "There are many people in the East Palace, why does this Lu Ao want to blackmail your sister?" What is your sister's relationship with him? ”

Lu Su sighed and said leisurely: "My sister said that she is the protector of the Black Lotus Sect, and her godmother is the sage of the Black Lotus Sect, that is, the Night King and Princess back then. My sister also said that if I say this, His Highness will understand all this. ”

"What?" Xiao Rui stood up suddenly, looking shocked.

"Say it again, who is your sister? Is he the goddaughter of the Night Princess? Xiao Rui asked again.

Lu Su nodded and said, "That's what my sister did!" ”

Xiao Rui was dumbfounded: "Didn't your sister be killed by me?" ”

Yes, Xiao Rui's own hand inserted a dagger into his left chest, how could he not die like this! Unless...

Depend on! Right-hearted people! The 1 in 1 million probability of encountering it!

Xiao Rui could only think of this reason.

Subsequently, he thought of Lu Pheasant and Lu Su going to Kyoto for medical treatment, but Hua Tuo said that her left lung had been injured, and it seemed that it was the result of her own knife!

In this way, he didn't kill Lu Pheasant, but forced her godmother to take poison, so she came to Kyoto to take revenge. This can also explain why the Yasukuni Guild proposed to let Lu Pheasant enter the palace, and it must also be Lu Pheasant's plan!

Lu Pheasant has stayed in the East Palace for so long, if he wants to kill himself, there are countless opportunities, but she hasn't done it for a long time, is it because she has a good heart? No!

Xiao Rui immediately thought of the system!

In the early stage, Lu Pheasant was the protector of the Black Lotus Sect, but when she came to Kyoto, it happened that Xiao Rui opened the arrival, and the system descended on Lu Pheasant. So there was a love value between her and Xiao Rui, so it was not that she was kind enough to let Xiao Rui go, but because she fell in love with Xiao Rui!

Because he fell in love, Lu Pheasant didn't make a move for a long time, but there was indeed a feud between him and Xiao Rui, which can explain the reason why Lu Pheasant behaved very strangely!

Figuring out this, Xiao Rui felt deeply bloody, and really wanted to give the system a hug! If it weren't for the intervention of the system, Lu Pheasant fell in love with him, wouldn't he be dead?

Xiao Rui felt fortunate, but also realized that the Night Princess's scheming! She actually accepted Lu Pheasant as a righteous daughter, borrowing the relationship between Ming Yibo and Emperor Xia, this is simply a hidden bomb!

"What else did your sister say?" Xiao Rui came back to his senses and asked.

Lu Su said sadly: "My sister said that the reason why she said all this is because she doesn't want to continue to live in deception, she wants to live in the sun." My sister also said that if His Royal Highness could save her, my sister would not force it. Your Highness, please save my sister, I, Lu Su, am willing to repay you by being a cow and a horse! If they find out that my sister and I have swapped identities, they will definitely kill my sister! ”

Lu Su's pear blossoms brought rain, and he had to kneel down and beg.

Xiao Rui stopped her and said, "Don't get excited, tell me what else you know first!" We're going to find out where your sister is being held, and we've got to figure out how to save it!" ”

Lu Su nodded, but her face was worried, and said: "The enemy is very careful, we are all blindfolded, we don't know where we are being held, there are powerful masters outside the house, and we are on guard for twelve hours." ”

The implication is that there are no clues.

Without clues, it is not easy to find the imprisoned Lu Pheasant in the huge Kyoto!

"By the way, how did that Lu Ao let your sister assassinate Your Majesty?" Xiao Rui hurriedly asked.

Lu Su hurriedly took out a paper bag from his arms, handed it to Xiao Rui, and said: "That Lu Ao said, poison His Highness first, this is poison, and it is not an ordinary poison, His Highness will be in a coma and bed like a sick person after being poisoned." At that time, His Majesty will naturally come to the East Palace to visit. My sister is a martial artist, and once she gets close to His Majesty, she can assassinate her! However, Lu Ao also said, let me wait for the time being, don't poison it first, and wait for his order when you do it, and he will arrange for someone to notify me! ”

Xiao Rui nodded.

Lu Ao is the leader of the assassins of Qi State, and the purpose of his assassination of His Majesty is to save Qi State, so it seems that the poison in this paper bag is not only to make himself unconscious and bedridden, it is likely to be a strange poison, and Lu Ao will definitely not let himself go.

And once he and His Majesty have an accident, under the leaderless leadership of the Great Xia Qunlong, it is inevitable to elect a new prince to inherit the unification, but how can Lu Ao be sure that the new prince will definitely withdraw when he succeeds to the throne?

Then there is only one possibility, that is, Lu Ao must have colluded with others by doing all this! And the person who colluded with him has a good chance of sitting on the throne, so this person must be one of the remaining princes!

Thinking of this, Xiao Rui's thoughts immediately became clear.

Then next, it's not a matter of saving Lu Pheasant, you have to find a way to drag the instigator behind the scenes, and dare to design to kill your brother and kill your father, such a poisonous snake stays in the shadows, and it makes people chill to think about it.

So...

Of the six princes who are now staying in Kyoto, who will be the messenger?

Xiao Rui's first thought was Xiao Feng!

After all, Xiao Feng has been hiding for so long, his scheming and the city government are unfathomable, and don't forget Huang Qilin, this old thing is still hidden in the shadows, and it is not strange to say that he is in the Great Xia Kyoto!

What about the other princes besides him?

Xiao Lie, Xiao Ming, Xiao Yuan, Xiao Jing and Xiao Yan!

There is no prince who does not covet the throne! Xiao Rui firmly believes in this sentence. So if he and His Majesty die, and the secret commander wants to sit on the throne, what means does he need?

First, there is no grandeur.

This is the custom, and it is also the order of succession to the throne, but don't forget, your majesty does not follow this rule today, and you still expect other princes to agree?

Or to convince people with virtue, and several princes are jointly elected!

But is it possible? Of the remaining six princes, who will serve whom?

The simplest and most harmonious way could not be done, so the old prince of the still living royal family and the important ministers of the court could consult and jointly elect a prince with outstanding moral character and ability to succeed him.

Is this an option?

it! Xiao Feng was the first to jump out and disagree. He pretended to be stupid for so long, and it was not good for him.

Since gentle means can't do it, then you can only rob it.

Whoever has the means to kill all those who stand in the way can sit on the supreme position, after all, the throne has been above the bloody road since ancient times.

So this possibility is the greatest.

But the patrol battalion is in charge of Zhang Jinfu, the Marquis of Zhongyong, and the forbidden army in the palace is in charge of Zhuge Yuanba, so only the northwest battalion is left inside and outside Kyoto!

It seems that the commander must have colluded with the generals of the Northwest Battalion!

However, the Northwest Battalion has always been loyal to His Majesty, and every general has been strictly examined by the East Factory, and even if there is a problem, it will be difficult to find out for a while.

……

Xiao Rui was stunned and thoughtful, and Lu Su didn't dare to disturb. After a long time, Xiao Rui came back to his senses and got up, and said, "Lu Su, this palace will find a way to save your sister, but this matter is not urgent." You stay in the East Palace for the time being, continue to disguise yourself as your sister, and wait for Lu Ao to give you a signal. ”

"Yes, I understand!" When Lu Su heard Xiao Rui's words, he was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Xiao Rui immediately left the palace under the escort of Li Yuanfang and went to Zhan Shifu.

It happened that the four strategists were there, and Xiao Rui immediately summoned the four of them to the secret room and repeated today's events.

After hearing this, the four of them also looked at each other, feeling a cold sweat, and were glad that Lu Pheasant didn't really do it.

"Your Highness, this is saving yourself by your appearance!" Guo Jia exclaimed.

"Yes, if you look handsome, it's good!" Jia Xu touched his old face and began to reminisce about his youthful years.

"I didn't expect Miss Lu Pheasant to be fascinated by beauty." Zhang Liang said with emotion.

Xiao He came the latest, and many situations were not clear, but at this moment, he also came to say in order to meet the occasion: "Your Highness's beauty... Ahem... His Highness's appearance is indeed one in a thousand. ”

Xiao Rui rolled his eyes, how did he feel that the direction was off, is it time to talk about appearance? How to catch the mastermind behind the scenes is the most important thing.

Although he is really handsome.

Xiao Rui coughed, and the discussion of the four stopped. Xiao Rui then said: "Let's get down to business!" The behind-the-scenes instigator conspired with Lu Ao to assassinate His Majesty and me, naturally for the sake of the throne, and now without evidence and only on suspicion, even if I go directly to Your Majesty, even if Your Majesty believes it, I don't know who did it, and I may even startle the snake. So is there a good way to catch this hidden poisonous snake and catch it all? ”

"We know too little information, and we don't even know who the enemy is and how many people there are, unless we plan it, and we don't have a very good idea!" Zhang Liang took the lead in saying.

Guo Jia agreed: "That's right, it is the best way to plan and calculate, which can lead to all the big fish with ill intentions!" ”

Xiao He and Jia Xu also nodded in agreement.

Xiao Rui naturally understands the advantages of calculating the plan, as long as Xiao Rui and His Majesty pretend to be dead, it is equivalent to turning from light to dark, and you can sit on a high platform and watch the big show, but... It's hard to get Your Majesty to play dead!
