Qingzhou City, Orchard Road.

There is a three-in, three-out luxury mansion.

This is the temporary residence of Emperor Jingdedi to Xiao Zhen, the son of Northern Yan. The whole mansion has been renovated, and the interior decoration is also to its liking, all of which are unique to Beiyan.

This is the only place in Qingzhou City.

*

"Young Master."

"Dali Siqing, Qingzhou Mansion Yin asked to see each other."

"The two of them are waiting in the antechamber right now."

An armored guard pushed the door open and bowed to him in a whisper.

"Hmm."

"I see."

Xiao Zhen stood up and walked out of the door, walking briskly in the direction of the front hall.

As he walked, he pondered.

Qingzhou City, but it's not peaceful!

*

"Dali Temple Qing Litang."

"Qingzhou Mansion Yin He Chong."

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Prince of Beiyan."

Seeing Xiao Zhen come to the front hall, the two hurriedly put down the tea cup in their hands, stood up and bowed to him.

"Beiyan Xiao Zhen has seen two adults."

Xiao Zhen bowed his hand to the two of them in return, and then moved to the main seat and sat down slowly.

"I wonder why the two adults are visiting together?"

Xiao Zhen stretched out his hand to pick up the tea cup on the table, and the lid flicked the tea. His eyes looked at the two of them, with a bit of curiosity on his face, and asked them bluntly.

"Please don't blame His Royal Highness."

"Today, the official is here with Lord Li."

"There is really a very important matter that I want to ask His Royal Highness the Prince face to face."

He Chong stood up first and said to him.

"It's okay, just ask."

Xiao Zhen put down the teacup in his hand and waved his hand gently, saying that he didn't care about it at all.

"His Royal Highness the Prince is refreshing."

"Since this is the case, then the official will also be blunt."

"Dare to ask His Royal Highness, how many people are there in your country's delegation this time?"

He Chong's gaze looked directly at Xiao Zhen and asked him.

"Hmm."

"Except for a hundred cavalry guards. There were also some civil officials of the Ministry of Rites who accompanied them. ”

"That's less than two hundred."

"More than 147 people to be exact."

Xiao Zhen sighed a little and said to him.

What is it that you ask? Please ask him directly. ”

Xiao Zhen had a little dissatisfaction on his face and asked him directly.

What do you do?

What words can't be asked?

"Ugh."

"I don't know if His Royal Highness the Prince knows? The assassination of the crown prince of this dynasty on the street late the night before yesterday? ”

He Chong's old face flushed, with a little embarrassment.

"I've heard of it."

Xiao also had a little regret in his heart. I have never had the opportunity to have a drink with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He had already suffered an accident and died young. ”

Xiao Zhen was a little sad on his face, and those who didn't know thought that he had a deep friendship with the crown prince Su Zhe.

The surface work is very well done.

"The scene of the assassination of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"In his chest, there is a sword."

"The knife used by the killer came from a weapons workshop in your country's army after investigation."

"What's even more coincidental is that the blades used by His Royal Highness the Prince are exactly the same."

"Your Highness, can you give an explanation to this official?"

He Chong's eyes were fixed on his eyes, and he slowly said to him word by word.

"What did you say?"

"Huh."

Xiao Zhen stood up suddenly, his face shocked.

The blade that killed the prince came from Beiyan?

"Whew."

Want to frame him?

Want to stop the marriage between the two countries?

The ultimate goal of the killer has been revealed.

"Lord Ho."

"Do you think Xiao would do such a stupid thing?"

"Xiao is in Daqi at this time, and he will take the risk to assassinate Daqi as the crown prince? What's in it for Xiao? What's in it for Beiyan? ”

"The marriage between the two countries is imminent, and the friendship between Qin and Jin is about to be concluded. At this critical moment, who is secretly stirring up the situation in Qingzhou? As long as Master He thinks about it carefully, he should be able to tell the difference, right? What's more, even if it was really Xiao who sent someone to do it. Then there's no need to assassinate with your own blade, right? ”

"Please also ask Master He to learn and give Xiao a certain justice."

Xiao Zhen had a gloomy face and said to him very unceremoniously.

"Your Royal Highness, don't worry."

"I know it in my heart. This case must have nothing to do with His Royal Highness. ”

"It's just that since this case has involved His Royal Highness the Prince, then I ask His Royal Highness the Prince to cooperate with us in handling the case. If you find the real culprit behind the scenes as soon as possible, you can also give justice to His Royal Highness the Prince as soon as possible. ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince naturally doesn't want to carry the identity of a suspect who killed the crown prince behind his back, is the official's words reasonable?"

Xiao Zhen's identity is very sensitive, and He Chong can't be allowed to be cautious.

"It doesn't matter."

"Xiao must be very cooperative."

"Sijun, take the two adults to carefully check the accompanying people. Where exactly did they go? What exactly did they do? ”

"Investigate carefully."

"Two adults, are you still satisfied?"

When Xiao Zhen heard this, he directly instructed Sijun, his personal guard, who was waiting on the side.

"Yes, young master."

Hearing this, Sijun hurriedly bowed down and answered.

"Thank you for your understanding."

"The official will take his leave first."

The ultimate goal of coming to Xiao Zhen's mansion has been achieved. The two stood up and saluted and said their goodbye to him.

"I'm not far away."

After a long time, the two had already gone out of the house. But Xiao Zhen was still sitting here, never getting up and moving half a step.

The tea on the table was already cold.

But he still couldn't figure it out.

Who exactly? Trying to frame him.

*

Xianfu Palace.

Where Su Qing, the eldest princess of Great Qi, lives.

"Your Highness the Princess."

"What are you thinking?"

Biluo, the personal palace maid, saw that the princess was dragging her chin in a daze, and asked her very curiously.

"Biluo, come here."

"Sit."

Su Qing beckoned to her and motioned for her to sit beside her.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Biluo didn't excuse herself, and the princess treated them very well. Although this behavior is a bit rude, it is not unusual.

"Bengu asked you, how has Bengu been treating you?"

Su Qing took the initiative to take Biluo's hand and asked her.

"Her Royal Highness the princess treats slaves and maids very well."

Biluo blurted out without hesitation for a moment.

"In that case, this palace has sent you a somewhat dangerous mission, and you dare to accept it?"

Su Qing asked her with a smile on her face.

"Of course I dare."

"Please also ask Her Royal Highness the princess to command."

"Even if it's going up to the knife mountain, going down to the oil pot. Biluo will not be afraid. ”

The princess treated her like a mountain, and this was the first time she solemnly asked her to do something.

"Faithful."

"It's not that dangerous."

"You don't have to be too scared."

When Su Qing heard this, her eyes rolled around.

"Looks like it's going to take a bit of planning."

"Hmph."

"Want to marry Hongu? It's just wishful thinking. ”

Su Qing gritted her teeth and made no secret of it.

"Ugh."

Biluo beside her shivered unconsciously.

Her Royal Highness Princess, who are you calculating?

"The killer who assassinated the second brother, the blade used was actually from Beiyan?"

"It's kind of interesting."

Su Qing stood up and walked towards the window.

What if it was really him?

Then I don't have to marry far away.

*

Childhood.

A dining table for three people.

A handsome young man is in the center, and two young girls are staring at each other on either side.

"Sixth brother."

"Me or her, who is cuter?"

One of the girls reached out and tugged at his sleeve and asked him.

When the other girl heard this, she hurriedly put down the chopsticks in her hand, and looked at him without blinking, with a slightly nervous look on her face.

“......”

The handsome young man looked left and right, not knowing how to answer.

Two aunts and grandmothers, he didn't dare to offend one of them.

"The mandarin fish are coming."

Concubine Xiu came quickly, and the porcelain plate in her hand was still a little hot.

"What are you doing here?"

The atmosphere in the hall was very weird, and she was a little strange.

"It's okay, it's okay."

The handsome young man hurriedly spoke.

Xindao, it's really time for the mother concubine to come.

It was an indirect saving of his life.

*

"Poof."

Thinking of this situation, Su Qing couldn't help but smile softly.

"Sixth brother."

"Where are you at this time?"

"I miss you so much!"
