Rong Yanqi sent Princess Jiahe away and returned to the courtyard again.

walked up to Shen Dailing and looked at her sleeping face, frowning slightly, with a tired face.

He had a gentle face and picked her up, but he didn't see any movement from her, which showed that he was sleeping soundly.

I was busy in the Heavenly Realm Temple for a day and a night without rest, and I didn't have a long time of peace when I returned to the palace, and I summoned them one by one.

He can't guess what the queen's intentions are in today's summons, but after growing up in the deep palace for all these years, he knows very well what kind of person the queen is.

Raising his head, he looked at Yin Xiao, who was standing straight not far away, and ordered: "You are guarding this place, and no one is allowed to step into it without the permission of this king and princess!" ”

"Yes, Lord Wang!" Yin Xiao answered.

Rong Yanqi didn't say anything more, carried her to the courtyard that belonged to him not far away, stepped into the house and put her on the bed where he slept.

The deep black eyes stared at her face tightly, and her facial features were three-dimensional and soft, more intelligent and generous than the previous arrogance.

Look at it for a moment and gather your mind.

Turning around and walking out of the room, he commanded Shuqin, who was standing at the door, "You wait here." ”

"Yes, lord." Shuqin answered.

Instead of going to the study, he went to the room where Merlin lived, pushed the house open, and smelled a strange and pungent smell.

The smell was familiar, as if the last time she had treated him, it had been this strange smell.

Glancing around, there was a bed on the left, and a woman lay on it, without the slightest movement.

Above the bed, hung a bottle of liquid, exactly the same as the last time he was injured.

He walked up and saw that the liquid in the bottle had not run out, and according to what she said last time, someone must guard it, otherwise the patient would be in danger after the liquid flowed.

At the moment, there was no one on duty here, and she fell asleep tiredly, which showed that she was really exhausted.

He called a maid and taught the maid to guard here according to the method Shen Dailing said, and then left the room.

After a casual dinner, he returned to his study to study the war in the north, and tomorrow morning he would ask for war again.

I don't know how long it has been, the moonlight has risen into the sky, and a little guy has quickly come to the outside of the study, and knocked on the door lightly: "Lord Wang, the little one has something important to report." ”

"Come in!" Rong Yanqi's voice came out.

Liu Quan pushed open the door, felt the warmth in the house, and saw the prince sitting in front of the bookcase reading carefully, and stepped forward and said: "Lord, Lord Zhang of Dali Temple has reported that people have been dug out of their hearts and lungs in the capital again. ”

"Oh?" Rong Yanqi put down the book and raised his eyebrows with great interest: "They finally have another action?" ”

"Yes, Lord Wang." Liu Quan responded.

"Have you found anything else?"

"Lord Zhang only sent someone to explain the matter, but Lord Zhang did not explain the specific situation."

Rong Yanqi pondered for a moment, got up and said, "Let's go, go to Dali Temple." ”

"Lord Wang, it's time to be a son at this moment, it's better to go again tomorrow." Liu Quan persuaded.

"It's about human life, sooner rather than later." After Rong Yanqi finished speaking, the person had already walked out of the study.

Liu Quan didn't dare to delay, hurried to follow, and ordered someone to lead the prince and his horse out.

When they reached the gate of the palace, two horses and a torch were ready. Liu Quan held a torch in front of him to lead the way and came to Dali Temple together.

Dali Temple is a place dedicated to dealing with serious murder cases, and this kind of major event has occurred in the capital, which has not been solved until now, and everyone is under great pressure.

At three o'clock, the Dali Temple was also brightly lit, and people went in and out.

Rong Yanqi took Liu Quan into the hall with a familiar car, and saw Zhang Tiancheng pacing back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back, his face flustered.

In the past such a long time, the murderer has not been found, and Zhang Tiancheng is anxious.

When he found that someone was coming, he looked back and saw that it was Rong Yanqi, his face was surprised, and he stepped forward quickly: "Lord Wang, why are you here?" ”

Rong Yanqi said: "Where did the situation you report happen? ”

Zhang Tiancheng hurriedly said: "In Osmanthus Lane." ”

"The corpse was brought back?"

"Yes."

"What did you find?"

Zhang Tiancheng said: "The technique is very different from last time, and it is more decisive and cruel than Xu Danian. A knife cuts the throat, and the heart and lungs are plucked. ”

"Can the woman's identity be clarified?" Rong Yanqi asked.

Zhang Tiancheng shook his head: "It's too late, there are no special traces on the body, and we can't investigate it until tomorrow." ”

Rong Yanqi bowed slightly, and said, "If there is other news, inform this king as soon as possible." ”

"Yes, lord." Zhang Tiancheng responded, seeing that he was about to leave, he couldn't help but ask: "Lord Wang, is my eldest brother safe in the north?" ”

Zhang Tiancheng is the younger brother of General Zhang Tianci, one of them is in the northern battlefield, and the other is in the capital to defend the people, and they are important ministers of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Rong Yanqi said: "According to the news that came, General Zhang only had skin injuries, which was not particularly serious. The king has already sent someone to send medicine over, and it will be fine. ”

Zhang Tiancheng immediately knelt on the ground, "Thank you for your compassion." ”

"Hurry up." Rong Yanqi raised his hand and ordered: "Someone deliberately did this matter, the enemy is in the dark, and we are waiting in the light, so we can deal with him for a long time." ”

Zhang Tiancheng understood what this sentence meant, the prince was understanding him and letting him rest as soon as possible, and he was grateful: "Yes, prince." ”

Rong Yanqi took Liu Quan out of Dali Temple and went to the Osmanthus Lane that Zhang Tiancheng said.

This place is an extremely remote road, if he hadn't already known the map of the streets and alleys of the capital by heart, he wouldn't have known where Osmanthus Lane was located.

The reason why it is called Osmanthus Lane is that there is a huge osmanthus tree here, and I don't know how many years have passed.

Walking into the dark Osmanthus Alley, Liu Quan lit a torch in front of him and shone it on the ground.

Soon, a pool of blood was found in the middle.

Rong Yanqi looked around, wanting to check if there were any other clues.

Suddenly, he felt figures appear around him, surrounding them in the middle.

When Liu Quan found out about this, his face changed slightly, and he immediately came to Rong Yanqi's side, "Lord Wang, we have been ambushed." ”

"Hmm." It turned out that the situation that suddenly appeared tonight was a trap, a trap that deliberately led him here.

He glanced around and said lightly, "Who are you?" ”

Directly in front of him, a masked man stood up, "Seventh Prince, you have finally come out, tonight, it is your time of death!" ”

Rong Yanqi glanced at the other party and said calmly: "This king has no grievances with you, why do you always want to put this king to death?" ”

The masked man sneered: "When you go to the Hades Palace and ask Lord Hades, you will know if you have a grudge against me!" ”

Rong Yanqi was noncommittal, "Last time, you poisoned this princess, right?" ”

Speaking of Shen Dailing, the masked man's eyes sank, and he said coldly: "That's right! ”

"It's really you!" Rong Yanqi's tone was cold and low.

"It's a pity that that it was a stupid woman who dared to go against my will, and when I killed you, I would take her life!"
