Xiao Zi'an chased after him, and the two short handles in his hand were unsheathed, one was held in the palm of his hand, and the other was pushed forward along his right arm, and suddenly plunged straight to the place where the black shadow might appear in the next moment.

Xiao Zi'an secretly estimated the path and body of the black shadow, and smiled secretly in his heart: The bamboo shadow is sparse, this sword should be able to hit it.

But the other party didn't know what ingenuity he used, and when he kicked out the next kick, he advanced about a foot more than before. It doesn't seem to be much, but it was the distance difference of this foot that made Xiao Zi'an break an old bamboo with a sword, and he didn't even touch the edge of the black shadow.

The time that this sword was won was enough for the black shadow to escape, and Xiao Zi'an wanted to chase it again, but he couldn't find the figure.

In a hurry, he went back to the princess hall to confirm Gu Nanqin's safety, but he didn't expect Gu Nanqin to listen to the movement in the dormitory, and he had already come to a short distance behind Xiao Zi'an alone.

"Princess, are you hurt? The dark shadow just now ......" Xiao Zi'an looked at the princess seriously, although he had already seen that the princess was not injured, he couldn't help but ask a few more words.

Gu Nanqin looked at the back of the person who had just left in a daze, and was surprised to feel a little familiar.

"Do you think the person who came just now doesn't look like ......" Gu Nanqin was stunned, and almost blurted out the words "'Jiang' Gongzi". Fortunately, I endured it and swallowed what I had just thought back to my throat in time.

Whether it's or isn't, this is not a good time to ask questions.

At this time, if the person's name is heard, I am afraid that he will have to spread rumors that he "colluded with foreign ministers" or "private men".

Xiao Zi'an didn't guess what the princess was thinking for the first time, and wondered: "Like whom?" Princesses know? ”

"No, I don't know." Gu Nanqin's mind turned, and he quickly shook his head and denied it.

Besides, if Xiao Zi'an asked how he recognized that person's figure at this moment, could it be that he still had to say - "because of familiarity"?

Gu Nanqin pursed her lips, only saying that her throat was very dry, so she turned around and fled back to the dormitory, and then closed the door.

Xiao Zi'an stood outside the door with his eyes down, as if he had something to say, but he didn't get the right opportunity.

……

"Did the master see her?" Yan Ran was full of anxiety, and it wasn't until she saw Jiang Li that she let go of her hanging heart a little.

Jiang Li's expression didn't change much, just running all night, and he looked a little tired at this time: "Well, I saw it." ”

"Then the master ......" Yan Ran hesitated a few times, but still asked the most critical question, "Master, how are you going to deal with it this time?" The eldest princess doesn't seem to be a good master, since she finally got the opportunity, maybe she will really see the opportunity and be ready to go, just waiting to set off a bloody storm in the court. ”

Jiang Li was not surprised that Yan Ran was too pessimistic about this matter. After all, this eldest princess of Yongjia is famous, and she is also a disaster in the mouths of the people.

Originally, I visited the princess's palace tonight to dispel this idea. But she seemed to have become wilted after seeing Nangong Changle, not like she was planning how to plan this incident, but as if she had suffered some blow.

No, it's not. It's not because of Nangong Changle. Jiang Li's eyes lit up.

Although Jiang Li had already sent someone to deliver the news to Nangong Changle, and at the same time secretly sent someone to observe Nangong Changle's movements, Nangong Changle didn't seem to do anything extra, just brought the green smoke back and protected it, and then went to the palace.

So, what is the reason for Gu Nanqin's desolate appearance?

Jiang Li squinted his eyes and pondered, his eyes were empty, but he seemed to have thought of something, his eyes lit up slightly, and he turned around and said to Yan Ran: "You tell Dong Wen and Xia Qing to go to the palace quickly, and you must find out what happened to Your Majesty when you were enjoying the flowers today, as long as it is related to the princess, you must report it back carefully." ”

Although Yan Ran looked inexplicable, he still bowed down, turned around and went outside the house to look for Dong Wen and Xia Qing.

The smile in Jiang Li's eyes deepened, and the haze that was still shrouded a moment ago seemed to have vanished.

After Yan Ran gave the order, he entered the house again, but this time he also brought a small green finch with him—the one that Jiang Li often used as a carrier pigeon.

Jiang Li didn't seem to be surprised that he was still holding the carrier pigeon in the middle of the night at this time, but he took it with his eyes and removed the small strip of cloth, and the woman's hairpin on it came into view.

Yan Ran has been following Jiang Li for many years, so she naturally has a little understanding of her master's intentions. Just after watching Jiang Li burn this strip of cloth, Yan Ran had already set up the four treasures of the study, and even took the pine smoke ink ingot, just waiting to polish the ink for his master.

Jiang Li glanced at him funny, sat down at the desk, closed his eyes and pondered for a while before he picked up a pen and wrote down a few words.

Dong Wen and Xia Qing are also fast, and before Jiang Li finished writing the letter, they had already figured out what happened in the palace today, hurried back, and reported to Jiang Li in every detail.

Jiang Li originally closed his eyes and only listened carefully to one thing after another, but when Dong Wen mentioned that the little emperor said, "It's just a cane", he suddenly raised his eyes, and his eyes were cold, making people feel like falling into an ice cave.

Dong Wen noticed the change in his master's mood, stopped his voice, and bowed down to wait for his master's next command.

Jiang Li didn't say a word, but just that calm look and icy momentum had already shocked the four people in the room except him.

Yan Ran and the others are not stupid, and when they see the master's reaction to this, they can also guess nine times out of ten.

Six years ago, the master received the edict of the first emperor to serve as the prime minister, and he was already cold-eyed and disdainful.

If it weren't for the master's superior strength and good strategy, he would have been bitten by the group of wolf-like courtiers in the open and secret battles between the past six years.

Just while carrying the courtiers' eyes, while sheltering the little emperor from the wind and rain, and teaching carefully, he didn't expect to get such a carefree emperor who didn't know human life.

Yan Ran and the others seemed to have compassion on their faces, but they became stunned in Jiang Li's chuckle in the next moment-

Jiang Li said: "...... It's a good thing, it happened to kill her worried heart. ”

The rest of the people looked at each other, as if they didn't understand the meaning of the master's words. This "she" is naturally the eldest princess, but the "worry about the country" ...... Also said the eldest princess?

"What does the master mean ......?" Dong Wen asked boldly.

"You and Xia Qing, let's go with the eldest princess in the next two days." Jiang Li smiled suddenly, completely ignoring the shock on the faces of the two secret guards, and instead continued, "She has provoked some people recently, and with you to protect her safety, she is more at ease." ”

But Dongwen and Xia Qing have followed Jiang Li since they were children, only as Jiang Li's shadow, and have never been exposed to others, let alone protect others? There was endless horror in the eyes of both of them.

Compared to the two of them, Yan Ran was much calmer. After all, during this period of time, it seems that there is nothing surprising to see that the master has repeatedly made exceptions for the eldest princess, and at this time he sent Dong Wen and Xia Qing to protect them.
