"Assassinated?" The emperor was shocked, "How is this possible?" ”

This matter was handled by Gu Yanbai, even though there were contradictions between the two sides in the matter of the Seventh Princess, but Gu Yanbai's ability The emperor never doubted, how could there be such a mistake?

The third prince preemptively struck and rose to the level of the two countries one after another, aggressively, not giving the emperor time to think at all, "If these thieves are not arrested and severely punished, it can be seen that the court of the Celestial Empire is nothing more than that." ”

The version that the emperor finally heard was that someone suddenly came to assassinate him at night, and in the end, the assassination failed, and he burned down the post house even more.

The emperor stared at him, as if thoughtful, and slowly asked, "Then what does the third prince mean?" ”

"Of course, what this prince means is to ask the emperor to immediately send heavy troops to search, catch this person, and hand it over to me to deal with when the time comes."

"As soon as the third prince came, he mobilized the people and disturbed my capital, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate." The third prince's step-by-step pressing made the emperor quite unhappy, if it weren't for the fact that the other party was the prince of the ancient fish country, he would have ordered someone to drive him away.

"Yesterday, this prince almost died at the hands of gangsters, but the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty was unwilling to investigate carefully, it can be seen that he is not sincere in his friendship with my ancient fish country, and it is impossible to say whether there is evil intentions, since this is the case, then this prince will leave Beijing now, so as not to be close here, and lose his life." When the words fell, the third prince turned around and was about to leave, and his back resolutely did not hesitate at all.

"The third prince waits, let me think about this matter again." The emperor did not expect the situation to be so serious, and considering the diplomatic relations between the two countries, he had to compromise temporarily.

When Zhu Bajie came to the Hou Mansion, it happened that Mingyuexi walked out of the courtyard, and in an instant she seemed to see a savior, "Uncle, you are here." She hurriedly stepped forward and led the person to the side room.

Zhu Bajie sat down, took a sip of the tea brought by Cheng Yu, and gasped: "What are you doing in a hurry to find me?" ”

"What happened in the capital recently, does my uncle know?"

After her reminder, Zhu Bajie suddenly slapped his thigh: "Are you talking about the assassination of the envoy?" ”

Since the assassination of the envoys of the ancient fish country and the water of the post house, the emperor sent heavy troops to the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and the whole city searched for the murderer, and searched door to door for several days, causing the people to panic.

There are even rumors in the capital that if the perpetrator cannot be caught, the ancient fish country will raise troops to attack the Celestial Empire, and the city will be spread by good people.

Mingyuexi bowed slightly.

Zhu Bajie couldn't hide his surprise, "The old pig knows about this, but what does it have to do with you?" Do you know who the murderer is, or do you know the murderer in the first place? ”

In the face of his doubts, Mingyuexi had no intention of concealing it, "There was no perpetrator at all from beginning to end, it was all made up by Gu Yuguo, and the person they wanted to arrest was Yanbai." ”

She paused, took a sip of tea, calmed down her anger, and then continued: "That day, Yanbai went to the post house to look for me, and accidentally bumped into the third prince of Guyuguo and Prince Rong discussing rebellion. ”

Zhu Bajie learned all the truth and scratched his head in distress, "What do you need the old pig to do?" Just say it. ”

Zhu Bajie made up his mind, no longer hesitated, and took the initiative to express his will. With Zhu Bajie's words, Mingyuexi's flustered mind was somewhat stable.

Gu Yanbai's injuries are very serious, and it is not a matter of a moment to recuperate.

If he continued to stay in the Hou Mansion, he would definitely be found under the search, and for the sake of safety, Mingyuexi decided to send him out of the capital to recuperate.

"There will be people from the countryside in the Hou Mansion every day to deliver vegetables, I want to hide Gu Yanbai on the ox cart where the vegetables are placed, but, for the sake of insurance, I will let Cheng Yu prepare a truck with a mezzanine in advance, uncle, you just need to replace the vegetable farmer, take him out of the capital smoothly, and arrange the Zhuangzi outside the city to ensure safety."

In this regard, Zhu Bajie had no objection and immediately took action.

Gu Yanbai left, and Mingyuexi announced to the public that he was infected with wind and cold and could not afford to be on the couch.

Prince Rong took the opportunity to take Gu Yanbai's place and was responsible for receiving the third prince of Guyu Kingdom, and it was more convenient for the two to conspire.

As the days passed, except for Shen Mengyi, who came to find trouble, they were all right.

It's just that Mingyuexi never thought that Shen Mengyi and the Seventh Princess secretly colluded, and the news about Gu Yanbai's serious illness and even at home, he had not come out to see anyone for a long time, and it soon reached the ears of the Seventh Princess.

"Seventh Princess, I always feel that Mingyuexi deliberately hid Gu Xiaohouye." Shen Mengyi whispered in the ear of the seventh princess.

When the seventh princess heard Mingyuexi's name, her face turned blue, and nameless anger ignited in her heart, she slammed down the cup in her hand, and her tone was disdainful: "She also deliberately hid it, why should she, so that this princess would not be scared when she saw Gu Yanbai." ”

Shen Mengyi raised her eyebrows slightly, covering the calculation in her eyes, and humbly whispered: "The folk girl doesn't know, won't the seventh princess go and see it in person?" Besides, Gu Xiaohou is sick, and it is the time when he is vulnerable, maybe...... I will be grateful for the care of the Seventh Princess. ”

The latter sentence went to the heart of the seventh princess, and the seventh princess's smile was difficult to hide, "That princess reluctantly went over and took a look." ”

When the seventh princess arrived, Mingyuexi was sitting in the courtyard and opening a book, looking at it absent-mindedly.

Suddenly, the maid came over and muttered two words in her ear, which made a string in Mingyuexi's heart tense suddenly, and she immediately sat up from the chair,

"What is she here for?" Mingyuexi looked coldly at the direction of the door, guessed in her heart, threw the book aside, and she looked at the maid.

The maid shook her head, looking a little afraid: "The slave asked, but the seventh princess didn't say, and said to let the lady hurry up." ”

"Let's go to the lobby." Mingyuexi asked people to arrange the princess in the flower hall, she cleaned up slightly, and saw people in the past, but as soon as she got out of the courtyard, she saw the seventh princess walking towards her in a hurry.

"I've seen the Seven Princesses." Mingyuexi didn't provoke her, and respectfully asked for peace.

But the seventh princess didn't look at her at all, her eyes went directly past her and walked towards the courtyard.

Seeing this, Mingyuexi immediately stepped forward to stop the person, and said unhappily: "Seventh Princess, what are you doing?" ”

The seventh princess glared at Ming Yuexi and pushed her away impatiently: "This princess wants to see Gu Xiaohou, you get out of the way!" ”

Hearing this tone, people who didn't know thought that the seventh princess was Gu Yanbai's wife.

"Seventh princess, you are a princess, so enthusiastic to break into the Hou Mansion, to see my husband, I think many people have seen it, I wonder if this matter is spread, how others will talk about it?"

Concerning the decency of the royal family, Mingyuexi's fluttering words made the seventh princess stop her pace, she hesitated for a moment, but was quickly overshadowed by anger, she turned to look at Mingyuexi.
