Chapter 192: The Master Behind the Scenes

The reason why Jiang Liuli dared to show up was because she was confident in her makeup skills, and it was now at night, and they didn't really see it, so naturally they didn't have to worry about being seen by them.

As for Mingyue and Mingxia, they had already changed their faces on the way to Shengjing, and the others were all fresh faces, and few people knew each other, so she was not worried about being guessed at all.

Seeing that Mingyue and Mingxia and others began to clean up the mess on the roof, she jumped off the roof, came to the guest room, took off the clothes on her body, and took two more showers to make sure that there was no trace of blood on her body, and then returned to the room.

Looking at Lan Tingxuan, who was asleep, he was a little worried, if he really knew his identity one day, would he also think that she was a demon girl like everyone else? If that's the case, what should she do?

She doesn't care what anyone thinks of her, only him, and if one day he will hate herself, or be afraid of herself, it will really break her heart and make her want to destroy everything.

"Lan Tingxuan, don't let me down." She muttered to herself and looked at Lan Tingxuan, thinking that he would hate herself, she couldn't bear it in her heart, if it was really the case, she really didn't know what kind of thing she would do.

Jiang Liuli jumped on the bed and lay in his arms, only then did she feel the slightest warmth in her cold heart, although she didn't want to admit it, she knew that her heart was becoming more and more uncontrollable, whether it was in her mind or in her heart, it was already full of his figure, and she couldn't erase it if she wanted to.

In the early morning of the second day, Lan Tingxuan felt refreshed after a beautiful sleep, and the haze of yesterday was swept away, and he rushed to the palace in a good mood.

Jiang Liuli saw him get into the carriage and leave home, and his hanging heart was relaxed, for fear that he would find something abnormal, but fortunately, it was handled very cleanly last night, and even there was no trace of blood in the air.

And Xing Tianqi, who had just finished the morning court, was shocked when he heard the news reported by the secret guard, he had already guessed that those people would assassinate Lan Tingxuan, but he didn't expect that the protection around his house was impenetrable, and there was no need for him to send additional people to protect it.

"Are you sure that woman killed more than twenty people single-handedly?" Xing Tianqi asked in disbelief, if this is the case, then this woman's skills are really good.

"My subordinates saw it with their own eyes." The leader of the dark guard, who was kneeling on the ground, said with certainty that the woman's skills were even better than his.

Xing Tianqi's fingers tapped on the table, and questions popped up one by one, if so, why did Lan Tingxuan still need his protection? Is it that he doesn't know what's going on at home? Or do you pretend not to know and have other plans?

"You continue to pay close attention to the Lan Mansion, and if you help, you will make a move, and if you don't need to, you will always hide in the dark and observe, and you must not reveal your whereabouts." He thought about it and said, just take this opportunity to investigate his background, and it is best to have an innocent family background.

"Yes." The dark guard replied helplessly, Jiang Liuli already knew about their existence, and it was too difficult not to expose it.

"Let's go down." He took out the fold and began to review it, there have been a lot of things recently, and he can't delay a minute or a second.

After the secret guard withdrew from the imperial study, Xing Tianqi looked at the twists and turns for a while, he really couldn't stand it, his mind was full of Lan Tingxuan's affairs, he originally thought that he was a very simple person, but now it seems that this is not the case, if it is not a simple-minded person, then he is a scheming person, if this is the case, then Lin Zhaoyi's matter may really be related to him.

After thinking about it, I still couldn't think of a reason, and rubbed my sore head weakly, and when I didn't have a moment of rest all day, it was strange that my head didn't hurt.

As soon as Lan Tingxuan and An Fenghai arrived in the palace, they began to continue investigating the case, and they knew a clue from the mouth of the palace maid who was serving Lin Zhaoyi closely, and this clue was too useful for them.

So the two reported the matter to the emperor, after all, this person's identity is somewhat special, and it must be decided by him.

On the way to the imperial study, Princess Lexi blocked the way of the two, saying that she wanted to talk to Lan Tingxuan, and in desperation, An Fenghai went to see the emperor alone, and he rushed to the princess after speaking.

"Princess, if you have anything to say?" After An Fenghai left, Lan Tingxuan said to her respectfully, although she was in a hurry to leave, she was embarrassed to urge her to finish quickly.

"It is rumored in the palace today that you have an affair with Lin Zhaoyi, is this true?" Princess Lexi didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly, although she didn't believe it, she still wanted to hear him say something negative.

"Princess, what the minister said to you that day is the minister's oath to his wife, and such an oath will be remembered by the minister for a lifetime." Although Lan Tingxuan did not answer her question directly, such words broke her heart even more.

"The more dedicated a man is, the more hurtful he is, and that's true." Princess Lexi looked at him sadly, originally just wanted to know if she still had a glimmer of hope, who would have thought that she would be hurt by him again.

At first, she was just a little interested in him, but because of this interest, she became more and more satisfied with him, and wanted to get closer and closer, originally thought that the two would be together naturally, who would have thought that he had already married a wife, and was loyal to his wife, and he couldn't even marry one more.

Now she is not only sad, but also a little unwilling, she is not only beautiful, but also a princess of a country, where can she compare to his wife, why would he rather offend the emperor and lose his official position, but also be with that good-for-nothing woman?

Although she had never seen his wife, the woman who had stayed at home was certainly not very good-looking, and she was still very confident in her appearance, but he was indifferent, which made her even more resentful.

"I'm going to your house tomorrow as a guest, if you don't agree, I'll beg the emperor to give an edict to see if you dare to refuse." After Princess Lexi finished speaking, she turned away without waiting for him to refuse, she had to see what the woman looked like, and she could fascinate him so much.

"Princess, princess." Lan Tingxuan hurriedly chased after her, but was stopped by the palace maid beside her, and could only look at the back of Princess Lexi with an embarrassed face.

He walked towards the imperial study with a weak face, and when he arrived, An Fenghai had already finished talking about everything, and when Xing Tianqi saw him like this, he felt that he was not the kind of person with deep thoughts.

"Tingxuan, Feng Hai has already reported everything just now, do you have anything else to add?" He asked solemnly, hiding his thoughts.

"There's nothing to add." Lan Tingxuan knew that An Fenghai would dutifully tell everything, so there was no need to add it again.

"Although Concubine Yun's personal maid went to see Lin Zhaoyi, and may have found out that she was pregnant, this does not prove that Lin Zhaoyi was killed by her, and without evidence, she still can't be punished." Xing Tianqi frowned, he was very disgusted with Yun Guifei and the entire Yun family, but the Yun family was here

The power of the imperial court is too huge, and if you want to move them, you need careful planning, so without definite evidence, you can't move Yun Guifei at all.

An Fenghai also pondered when he heard this, the three generations of the Yun family have been officials in the court, and the official position is not low, Yun Guifei's grandfather is the prime minister of the past, and his father is the right minister, and the students of their father and son occupy more than half of the court, if you want to move the Yun family, you must have a greater crime.

In fact, Xing Tianqi did not dislike the Yun family at the beginning, and even respected Prime Minister Yun, but after becoming the emperor, he gradually found that the Yun family was not as noble as it seemed on the surface, they not only accepted bribes behind their backs, but even did some things that would ruin their conscience.

There was once an official who accepted bribes, and the next day the official's family was burned alive in the house, and this matter was done very carefully, leaving no clues, so that they were allowed to go unpunished until now.

Now that the Yun family is getting more and more powerful, if you want to move them, you must be completely sure, otherwise you will only fall into the infamy of framing Zhongliang, although the Yun family is not Zhongliang, but the people will listen to their lies.

Lan Tingxuan didn't understand the twists and turns of officialdom, he just thought about what kind of evidence he could find to bring the culprit to justice.

"Lin Zhaoyi's matter, you still need to bother more, if you can find the evidence of Yun Guifei, it would be great, if you can't find it, it can only be like this." Xing Tianqi said helplessly, he no longer had any hope for this matter.

"Yes." An Fenghai and Lan Tingxuan listened, they were not in a very good mood, they knew who the murderer was, but they couldn't do anything to her, this feeling was even more uncomfortable than not knowing who the murderer was.

Lan Tingxuan looked at Xing Tianqi gloomily, and wanted to tell him what happened to Princess Lexi just now, and asked him to help persuade Princess Lexi, but he didn't know whether to open his mouth or not.

"Is there anything else?" Xing Tianqi saw the melancholy on his face and asked curiously.

"Your Majesty, just now the minister met Princess Lexi, she said that she was going to the minister's house as a guest tomorrow, and when the minister wanted to refuse, she had already gone away, and wanted to ask the emperor to help persuade her." Lan Tingxuan said helplessly, it is really inappropriate for a woman to visit a man's house, if it is discovered by someone with a heart, it will damage her reputation.

"Nonsense." Xing Tianqi listened, and scolded unhappily, originally thought that she would not let go of Lan Tingxuan anymore these days, who would have thought that not only did she not let go, but even intensified, always doing things without considering the consequences, how could she marry someone if she damaged her reputation?

Lan Tingxuan lowered his head silently, he didn't let Princess Lexi go to the house, in addition to worrying about damaging her reputation, more importantly, he was worried that she would embarrass Jiang Liuli, he didn't want Jiang Liuli to suffer the slightest grievance, even if it was a princess.

"Don't worry, I'll make the decision for you in this matter, don't worry about her." Xing Tianqi assured him that no matter whether the two of them could be together or not, what was the matter for a woman to go to a man's house, not to mention that the princess of a country went to the minister's house, if it was known by the people in the court, I don't know what kind of storm it would set off.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lan Tingxuan saluted gratefully, and with the emperor coming forward, Princess Lexi didn't dare to come nonsense.

Xing Tianqi looked at him with a sincere face, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't think it was pretending, maybe he really didn't know about what happened last night, if this was the case, then his mysterious wife would be very suspicious.

"I heard about yesterday's incident, but I didn't expect them to do it to you so quickly." He sighed, his eyes fixed on him, trying to see how he reacted.

"Yes, I didn't expect them to dare to attack on the streets, causing innocent people to suffer." Lan Tingxuan said guiltily, for his own sake, he really didn't want to hurt several people.

Xing Tianqi deliberately didn't make his words clear, just to see if he knew what happened last night, looking at his appearance, it seemed that he really didn't know, it seemed that he had misunderstood him, seeing this, he was relieved, if he saw the wrong person, it was still a little difficult to accept in his heart.
