The Queen Mother is the one who accompanied the emperor to witness many wars, she has never seen any major events, how can she not know Qi Jiulu's careful thoughts: "What about the assassins? ”

The atmosphere in the palace was very heavy, and the ministers under the stage did not dare to interject, Qi Xiaoran didn't care, she was spoiled by the Queen Mother, and in order to praise her, she replied: "The queen mother, the assassins are all dead, and it was I who led the Xiangye to arrive to avoid bad things from happening." ”

The Queen Mother immediately showed a surprised expression: "Oh? When did my emperor become so powerful and still lead the prime minister to protect the palace. ”

Qi Xiaoran cracked the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly: "That's because the imperial brother had the foresight, so we were ambushed in the palace early, and when the assassin has appeared, we will be arrested directly." ”

This Qi Xiaoran is not enough to succeed and more than to lose, Qi Jiulu's plan is probably going to be folded in her hands, Qi Jiulu saw the queen mother's increasingly unhappy look, and immediately explained: "Queen Mother, the son is prepared, the palace is not peaceful these days, and the son is for your safety." ”

Fortunately, the Queen Mother didn't ask too much: "Emperor, you don't need so many people to catch those assassins, don't lose a big one because of a small loss." ”

General Sima was suddenly recalled to the palace, and the Queen Mother already had suspicions, but she didn't expect the emperor to be so unbreathable, the Queen Mother simply didn't care, she took Qi Xiaoran's hand: "Xiaoran, accompany your mother back to the palace." ”

Qi Xiaoran glanced at Chu Huairan worriedly, and the Queen Mother immediately understood, and said lightly: "Don't worry, just one night, the emperor won't rob you of the prime minister, right, emperor?" ”

A touch of unnaturalness flashed on Qi Jiulu's face, and then disappeared immediately: "The queen mother said she laughed." ”

Qi Xiaoran had no choice but to help the Queen Mother leave the Qiankun Palace.

The huge palace was occupied by soldiers, the emperor's plan failed, but he was beaten upside down, he was angry, but he had no way to vent, he stared at Qi Jiuchen: "Brother Wang is so late, why did you enter the palace?" ”

Qi Jiuchen took a step forward calmly and said respectfully: "Brother Huang, I heard that you have detained the envoys of Da Liang, and the younger brother is here for this matter, Da Liang sent someone to send a letter, if you don't send the empress away immediately, Da Liang and Da Zhou will go to war." ”

Qi Jiuchen handed the letter to Gonggong Xu, and then presented it to Qi Jiulu by Gonggong Xu, from now on, there has never been such a statement that the empress has been detained, this time Qi Jiulu is just relying on the strength of the Great Zhou than the Great Liang, and they dare not take action, but when he heard that the Western Regions was going to sign an alliance with the Great Liang, he could not underestimate it.

The placement of Empress Daliang in the post house on the pretext of recuperating from injuries and being guarded by guards has aroused the suspicion of Empress Daliang, and it seems that this matter has also attracted the attention of other countries.

Qi Jiulu pondered for a while and looked at Chu Huairan: "Chu Aiqing, what do you think of this matter?" ”

Today's matter is indeed Chu Huairan's negligence, if it weren't for Qi Xiaoran's sudden arrival to stir up the situation, I'm afraid he would have fallen into the emperor's trap, and now he must no longer be able to get involved with the emperor's affairs, he bowed his head slightly, and arched his hand: "Back to the emperor, the minister thinks that the empress of Daliang should be sent away immediately." ”

Qi Jiulu knew that Chu Huairan had doubts about him, but he still refused to give up and continued to ask, "Why?" ”

Chu Huairan slowly raised his head, regardless of the rules, and looked into Qi Jiulu's eyes: "Back to the emperor, I have seen it just now, those assassins are not from Da Liang, so the poisoning should have nothing to do with Da Liang, and besides, Da Zhou and Da Liang are allies, if the friendship between the two countries is ruined because of this, the gains outweigh the losses." ”

In fact, Chu Huairan already had a faint conjecture, this is why Da Liang came to Da Zhou, ostensibly to promote the longevity of friendship, but in fact it is annexation, Da Zhou and Da Liang are equal in strength, and the two countries have long been eyeing each other, no matter who can annex anyone, it is not what other countries want to see.

After all, if any country is strong, the neighboring countries will not have a good time.

But Qi Jiulu miscalculated, his dear imperial brother would choose to fornicate with foreign enemies at this time, ready to rebel, and he didn't calculate that the queen mother would also get involved, he is now suffering from the enemy and can't continue to move forward.

Qi Jiulu was unwilling, he was unwilling to let the duck go like this, Qi Jiuchen seemed to know his thoughts, so he said: "Brother Huang, what are you going to do with those assassins?" ”

Qi Jiulu glanced at Qi Jiuchen with displeasure: "Put them all in prison and wait for them to fall." ”

General Sima never said a word during the whole process, and Qi Jiulu never looked at him, and when he left, Chu Huairan and General Sima passed by, and a faint fragrance of orchids wafted past the tip of his nose.

Out of the palace, Chu Huairan and Yu Chi Yan got into the carriage, and in the carriage, Captain Chi Yan's face turned pale, and he was inadvertently hit by a sword in the fight just now, cutting the flesh and skin around his waist, and the blood soaked through the armor.

Chu Huairan took off his armor silently, frightened Wei Chi Yan a clever man, and his lips turned white again: "You don't want to rub medicine on me, do you?" ”

Chu Huairan looked like he should be: "Do you want to be dragged out of the carriage when you go back?" ”

Yu Chiyan shook his head: "But I don't want to be carried out by you as a dumpling." ”

To be honest, Chu Huairan's skills in bandaging wounds are really not very good, just look at the fact that Chu Huairan is wrapping gauze around Yu Chiyan's wound now, you can see the basic shape of the zongzi.

Wei Chiyan hurriedly took the gauze in his hand and handled it simply: "Okay, okay, I'll do it myself, I won't work for you." ”

Wei Chiyan wrapped the wound and said, "What do you think of tonight's events?" ”

Tonight was definitely not a coincidence, there was a premeditated plan, and the plan was meticulous, and it was possible to calculate that the time for them to rush into the main hall after killing the assassin was only Qi Jiulu.

Chu Huairan was silent, his eyes darkened, and he lowered his head to look at his hands.

Wei Chiyan suddenly thought of something, glanced at Chu Huairan, and said in a deep voice: "Do you have other plans tonight?" ”

Chu Huairan didn't speak, and still kept his head down.

Yu Chiyan frowned: "Recently, the emperor has been staring closely, you'd better not make any big moves, and I found out about the relationship between Qi Jiuchen and Xiao Wanyan before." ”

When it came to Xiao Wanyan, Chu Huairan had a slight expression, and he slowly raised his head: "Say it." ”

Yu Chiyan sighed: "Xiao Wanyan and Qi Jiuchen used to only have a relationship of use, but Xiao Wanyan has been kept in the dark, Qi Jiuchen once took Xiao Wanyan out to play and disappeared for half a year, and after coming back, Xiao Wanyan obeyed him, and even the family thought that Xiao Wanyan had a secret promise to him, but Xiao Wanyan was weak and had been supported by medicine, and after Qi Jiuchen learned that she had no use value, Xiao Wanyan let him stay by his side on the grounds of his body, but Qi Jiuchen only used it from beginning to end. Even in the end, Qi Jiuchen still took advantage of Xiao Wanyan's death to lead you to hatred in the Shangshu Mansion on the day of the wedding. ”

Chu Huairan asked again, "What happened in the half year they disappeared?" ”

Wei Chiyan shook his head helplessly: "I can't find it for the time being, it's just that Qi Jiuchen is also a real madman, and he actually uses women to get what he needs." ”

Tonight's incident made Chu Huairan come to a new conclusion, the emperor was in a hurry, he didn't know what disrupted the emperor's position and made him anxious for a momentary advantage, this was not at all like his unruly temperament.

Chu Huairan looked at Wei Chiyan, paused and said, "Just listen to these words once, and in the future, it's best for you to go out alone, don't take Xiao Wanqing with you." ”

Wei Chiyan didn't know why: "Why do you say that?" ”

Chu Huairan hesitated: "After all, she is Wanyan's younger sister, if the two of them communicate with each other, it will be difficult for us to continue to act, so there are some things that need to be cautious and do not need to let others know." ”

Wei Chiyan understood Chu Huairan's concerns, and he agreed: "Don't worry, I will be careful in doing things." ”

At the same time, in Yiwang's Mansion, Qi Jiuchen returned to the mansion and was angry, he sat in the house, the candle lights in the house flickered, and the wind blew out, and suddenly the window was blown open, and a black shadow rushed in from outside, approaching Qi Jiuchen.

He came at Qi Jiuchen with a sharp knife in his hand, Qi Jiuchen was not a fuel-efficient lamp, he took out a dagger from under the pillow, and the two of them were in the house without a winner.

The person who came roared in a low voice: "Qi Jiuchen, we didn't agree like this at the beginning, I want to seek justice for those brothers who died." ”

Qi Jiuchen unhurriedly blocked all the stabbing moves: "You have seen everything that happened today, the emperor caught the turtle in this urn, not only did he want me alone, do you think that if I am caught, he can continue to let you go, and when the time comes, don't say that it is you and even your master will suffer, do you want to lose a big one because of a small loss?" ”

The person who came gasped and was angry: "Then what do you say?" These brothers died in vain? ”

Qi Jiuchen put down the dagger and said kindly: "I will not let them die in vain, you watch, it won't be long before we have one more helper." ”

The man put down the sharp knife: "Then I will believe you again." ”

After saying that, he walked away from the window.

Qi Jiuchen walked to the window, looked at the back of the man in black leaving, and his eyes flashed with a touch of viciousness: "Qi Jiulu, let's see." ”

When Chu Huairan came back from the General's Mansion, the sky was already white, and when he returned to the house, he saw Xiao Wanyan sleeping peacefully, he crept into the quilt and hugged her carefully.

Xiao Wanyan felt a sudden cold air around her, she knew that Chu Huairan was back, she was relieved, and then she heard Chu Huairan say, "Madam, I'm worried about you." ”

Xiao Wanyan continued to pretend to sleep, feeling Chu Huairan's head leaning against her, and said, "Don't do risky things for me in the future." ”

He knew, it was not surprising, in Xiao Wanyan's heart, except for Chu Huairan's tyrannical temperament, the rest was still passing, and no one could compare to him in terms of intelligence and intelligence.

Xiao Wanyan ignored it and continued to sleep, much more peacefully than sleeping at night.

It wasn't until the sun was three poles that she woke up leisurely, looking at the rising sun, shining outside the house, and the sunlight was refracted into the room, Xiao Wanyan sat up with a grunt, called Qu Xiaoran, and remembered that he was not there
