When the guards heard this, they all nodded approvingly, and the captain continued to explain to Li Ci, "Your Highness, our team has not been out of the palace in the past few days, and the guards at the gate can testify. ”

Li Ci glared at the guard fiercely at this, and coldly reprimanded him, "Anyway, your little mistake almost caused a big disaster, and this matter is still inseparable from you." ”

The captain of the guard had a tangle on his face, throwing things is a mistake that everyone can make, but the chain reaction behind it is counted on their heads, and it seems that something is inappropriate.

Wu Anguo saw that Li Ci was emotionally involved again, so he immediately turned the wheel, came to the captain of the guard with difficulty, and asked loudly, "It's common to lose the token, but does the captain know where the token was lost?" ”

The captain of the guard immediately called out one of the guards in the team, and the guard lowered his head and replied with some fear, "Returning to the military lord, the token was lost near the dormitory of His Royal Highness the Third Prince, I was in a hurry, and I only felt that I had lost something from my waist, but I didn't pay attention to it, and I didn't know that it was just this small mistake, and I became like this, and I ask Your Highness for forgiveness." ”

The eldest prince snorted coldly when he heard this, and he rebuked loudly, "It's because of your little mistake that my plan almost came to naught!" ”

The guard immediately knelt on the ground with a frightened "plop", kowtowed and begged for mercy, "Your Highness spares your life, the little one will never dare again." ”

The rest of the guards also had a faint tightness in their hearts, and they all glanced at the token on their waists with some trepidation, glad that they hadn't lost it, but they didn't dare to lose it anymore.

"Your Highness, this guard is also careless, let's give a light punishment, after all, this kind of thing is a token that is framed by someone with a heart, and he can't be blamed." Wu Anguo also immediately comforted the eldest prince, hoping to forgive the guards.

The guards saw that Lord Wu Anguo was also interceding for himself, and his heart was a little relieved, the eldest prince didn't listen to anyone, but he only trusted Lord Wu Anguo very much, what he said was what he said, and now his life safety seemed to be guaranteed.

Sure enough, Li Ci glanced at the guard very unhappily, and said fiercely, "I will spare your life for the time being, but if I find out what mistakes you have committed in the future, don't even think about saving your head." ”

The guards hurriedly kowtowed to Li Ci and thanked him, "Thank you, Your Highness, for not killing!" The little one will be a cow and a horse for His Highness! To show loyalty! ”

"Get out! Get out of here, y'all! Li Ci shouted at the guards, pointing to the door of the main hall and motioning for them to go out.

The guards were very frightened, and immediately listened to the captain's order and walked out of the hall, and they sighed one by one, feeling that they had picked up a life.

When Wu Anguo saw that everyone was gone, he immediately asked the soldiers on both sides to close the door of the main hall, and the candlelight in the hall flickered, falling into silence.

Li Ci held his forehead a little tiredly, sat down on the side, and sighed softly.

He had to figure out the assassination this time, not only to give an explanation to the arrogant and domineering prince of Dawu, but also to find out who came up with such a vicious plan to frame him.

"Your Highness, are you worried about the affairs of Fang Cai?" Wu Anguo opened his mouth to break the silence, and he came to Li Ci and looked at him with some concern.

"Is there anything else that worries me so much?" Li Ci's eyes flashed with anger, the mastermind behind this matter simply wanted to push him into the depths of the water, let him stand on the cusp of the storm, and become the fuse between Dawu and the Qin Dynasty.

"The guard just said that the thing was left next to the palace of the third prince Qin Qing, Your Highness, do you say that it will have a relationship with the Third Highness?" Wu Anguo's eyes were a little more suspicious, he had an indescribable feeling about this third prince, and he always felt that he was not as simple as usual.

Li Ci raised his head and laughed, he shook his head vigorously, and said with a chuckle, "You mean the third brother?" He didn't have this heart since he was a child, it was completely impossible for him to do such a thing, besides, according to his temperament, he couldn't even gather individuals, how could he arrange so many assassins to kill Mo Shuangsheng? ”

"Your Highness, do you trust the Third Highness so much?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Wu Anguo's eyes, and the more Li Ci said that it was impossible, the more Wu Anguo felt that it was possible.

"That's natural, he grew up in my opinion, but unlike Qin Fan's idiot, he has been very docile and obedient since he was a child, he likes to be sideways, and he is extremely disgusted with things in the court, how can he get involved in it, this is simply a fantasy."

When Li Ci said this, there was some envy in his eyes, and he also hoped that he could be as relaxed as Qin Qing and not have so many heavy things to deal with.

Wu Anguo was still not relieved, he thought about Li Ci again and asked, "Then Your Highness thinks that who will be the person who did this?" ”

"Who else could it be? It must be Qin Fan, this bastard, he will do everything to oppose me, this time it must be his doing, except for him, no one has a reason to play this trick with me! Li Ci bounced up from his chair excitedly, when it came to Qin Fan, he was always so excited, it seemed that his reason had been taken away in an instant, even in this matter, it seemed that no evidence about Qin Fan had been found.

Wu Anguo's brows moved slightly, he was also suspicious of Qin Fan at first, but thinking about it, Qin Fan's style of opposing Li Ci every time seemed to be more rigorous, he was flamboyant but cunning, he could let Li Ci know that it was his doing, but he couldn't let Li Ci grab his handle, but this time, it seemed that he deliberately left a handle.

Therefore, in terms of style, this time's actions are not similar to Qin Fan's at all.

Speaking of Qin Fan, Wu Anguo remembered another thing, "Your Highness, last time about the cause of the death of the crown princess Qiao An'an, I asked someone to carefully investigate. ”

"How's it going? Is there anything suspicious? When Li Ci heard this, he sighed again, it seemed that things were getting more and more complicated, and his head was already unable to accept those strange information.

A strange light flashed in Wu Anguo's eyes, "There are indeed a lot, her chin has traces of dislocation, and it is a new injury, there are also traces of being tied with ropes on her wrists, and there are also a lot of bruises on her body, as if she has been beaten, if it is really as the second prince said, she was assassinated by an assassin, then where did these strange scars come from?" ”

Li Ci closed his eyes and frowned tightly, "So, that kid said all the lies in front of me and General Qiao that day?" ”

"Yes." Wu Anguo nodded heavily, "This matter is not as simple as it seems, if Qiao Yuanwu knew that the princess was treated like that when she was alive, it would probably be even more sad." ”

Li Ci looked at the appearance of Qiao An'an's corpse, and suddenly a spirit suddenly opened his eyes in fright, he stood up and said to Wu Anguo excitedly, "Could it be that this kid killed the princess himself?" And I happened to be involved in this matter, so he got along with a plot to assassinate the prince of Dawu, which distracted me, so that I no longer held on to this matter? ”

Wu Anguo's eyebrows raised slightly, he looked at Li Ci with some surprise, it was the first time he had heard such logical words from Li Ci's mouth.
