The Prince's Mansion is extremely luxurious, and even the palace lamps on the fence are decorated with pearls the size of pigeon's eggs, which reflect the luster in the candlelight.

In addition to Su Yunruo and Xie Feiqing, there were also several princes, ministers and wives who were invited tonight, and everyone sat around the lotus pond while enjoying the lotus and greeting each other.

After three rounds of drinking, Xie Xuan put down the wine glass with a little drunkenness, and said to everyone with his cheeks flushed: "Lone is a little drunk, go out for a walk and scatter the wine, everyone don't have to be restrained, you must have fun!" ”

He helped a little eunuch to leave the table with his hands and feet, and as soon as he left everyone's sight, his eyes were instantly clear, and he was not the slightest drunk.

Su Yunruo gently twisted the wine glass and looked at everyone quietly, and asked in a slightly lowered voice: "It doesn't seem that there is anything abnormal, the prince can't be careless, right?" ”

"I don't know, our Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very suspicious and has won the emperor's true inheritance, but no matter what happens, I will fulfill my promise and let you live safe and sound and squander the 100,000 taels of silver." Xie Feiqing took a piece of peach blossom cake and put it on the plate in front of her, and said with a soft chuckle in her eyes.

As he was talking, a little servant walked over quickly, saluted and said respectfully: "Lord Chu, Your Highness, please come over." ”

He exchanged glances with Su Yunruo tacitly, got up elegantly and followed the little eunuch to the back garden.

Su Yunruo ate the peach blossom cake slowly, and saw their backs disappear into the busy night, so he put down his chopsticks and pursed the corners of his lips with a handkerchief, and followed while everyone didn't notice.

Su Yunrong, who was playing with the gold enamel wine cup with envy in his eyes, watched them leave the table one after another, grinding his teeth hatefully: "Little slut, it's okay to seduce the prince in the mansion, and when you come to the prince's mansion, you will have a private meeting with the prince!" ”

She casually put the wine glass aside and trotted all the way behind Su Yunruo.

The little servant led Xie Feiqing to the pavilion in the back garden, pointed to Xie Xuan who was lying on the stone table and said, "Lord Wang, our Royal Highness is waiting for you inside, please hurry up!" ”

Xie Feiqing bowed slightly, and cautiously walked towards the gazebo, his casual side of his eyes was seeing a cold light reflecting a dazzling white light under the illumination of the moonlight.

Between the lightning and flint, a man in a black night suit jumped up from the bushes with a sword in his hand, he instinctively took a few steps back to prepare a defensive posture, but found that the assassin was not coming at him, the sword was pointed directly at Xie Xuan!

He frowned tightly, his heart tightened, looking at the court, who would dare to blatantly assassinate the prince in the prince's mansion? Except for Xie Xuan himself, I'm afraid there is no one else!

Now that the back garden is empty, no matter how light or serious Xie Xuan's injuries are, it will be easy for him to be charged with sending someone to assassinate the prince.

He hurriedly pounced on his toes and reached out to stop him, but the assassin's movements were too fast, and the blade of the sword was only two inches away from Xie Xuan's shoulder.

In desperation, he was able to use his arm under the sword, and he was able to block the sword. Blood gushed out in an instant, dripping down Xie Feiqing's fingers and falling to the ground.

Before the assassin could react, Xie Feiqing took the initiative to attack, and slashed at the assassin's face with a knife.

When Su Yunruo arrived, she saw him fighting with the assassin, and for a while it was difficult to distinguish between them, she glanced at Xie Xuan, who was lying on the table, frowned tightly, raised her voice and shouted, "Someone!" There are assassins! ”

She took out a packet of medicinal powder from her cuffs, and raised her hand without caring about it, as soon as the white powder floated over, Xie Feiqing felt a fresh floral fragrance penetrate her nose, her eyes were dizzy, her throat was dry, and her steps became vain and weak.

The assassin staggered a few steps, barely bracing himself with his sword, shaking his head in an effort to stay awake.

Xie Feiqing bit the tip of his tongue, the faint smell of blood spreading in his mouth, the pain irritated his nerves, and he grabbed the assassin's neck, dodging the sword in his hand and stabbing him in the thigh.

At this moment, the guards in the palace arrived belatedly, and they held down the assassin with three strikes and five divisions. Su Yunrong, who arrived at some point, was so frightened that her soul was about to fly when she saw this scene, she screamed and fell to the ground with a pop.

The commander of the guards was stunned, he didn't expect such a chaotic scene, he fixed his mind and pointed at Xie Feiqing fiercely: "Lord Chu, you are so bold, you dare to assassinate the prince!" Come on, take him down for me! ”

"Who dare!" Su Yunruo trotted in front of Xie Feiqing, like a hen protecting food: "Blind your dog's eyes!" If it weren't for our prince's desperate efforts to stop the assassins, the crown prince would have gone to see King Yama a long time ago! I see who dares to be presumptuous! ”

"The princess doesn't need to distinguish with us, the slave only knows how to be loyal to the master! Now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's life and death are uncertain, and the prince happened to be present when the assassin carried out the assassination, of course, the prince is the most suspicious! ”

"Didn't you see that the prince was injured? If the prince has a good one, how can you explain to the people of the Great Qi Kingdom? Every spitting can drown you! ”

"The slave is not frightened, if the assassination has nothing to do with the prince, the slave will definitely come to the door to ask for the guilt! If it weren't for the assassination of His Royal Highness, why did the prince and the princess quietly leave the table and come to the back garden? ”

Su Yunruo sneered and didn't give an inch: "This princess doesn't need to explain to you!" Get out of here! ”

Just when they were deadlocked, Xie Xuan, who was lying on the table, staggered to his feet, opened his mouth, suddenly coughed a few times, and threw up while holding on to the stone table.

"Your Highness......"

Before the commander of the guards finished speaking, Xie Xuan rolled his eyes and fell to the ground.

The commander of the guards panicked, hurriedly helped Xie Xuan up, and frowned tightly - there was no such link in the original plan? This is vomiting and fainting, does he still want to detain Xie Feiqing as agreed?

He gritted his teeth and had the courage to look directly at Xie Feiqing's gaze: "The prince of Chu sent an assassin to assassinate him and poisoned him, arrest him!" ”

Meng Qiao was about to speak, but Xie Feiqing couldn't bear to push her aside, and her bony fingers pressed against her slender shoulders and barely supported it.

He raised his chin arrogantly, and the soft light in his deep eyes gradually sharpened: "This king is a member of the royal family, can you be detained by a small guard?" If you want to detain this king, you must first invite the emperor's holy decree! ”

"The safety of the crown prince is related to the head of the country, now that His Royal Highness is unconscious, you don't go to ask the imperial doctor to trap the king instead, if Your Highness has a few heads that you have enough to cut off?"

Su Yunruo, whose shoulder was pressed by him so painfully, secretly smacked his tongue - good acting skills!
