"Seven ......" Liang Xuan was about to call Yan Shuangfei's name, but he spit out a word and stopped at the right time. He frowned, glanced deeply at Yan Shuangfei, who was buried in his head, and shifted his gaze to Li Ying in the hall again, so he had to sigh. "Queen, since you haven't done it, get up and speak."

The pain in her knees gradually came, and Li Ying subconsciously bit her lip. She had knelt on the ground for so long, and today's shame, he would definitely return it to Sister Yan Shuangfei twice as much.

"The emperor knows that the concubine is the mother of a country, and she knows that she has the responsibility of motherhood in the world, and she will never dare to do anything that violates her identity." Li Ying slowly stood up and glanced at Yan Shuangfei mockingly as she spoke.

Liang Xuan bowed his head and said in a deep voice: "After I finish interrogating the assassin who assassinated Lady Yunqi, this matter will naturally come to light." ”

"The assassin isn't dead?" Li Ying asked in surprise, and an ominous premonition arose.

"Why, the queen would really like them to die, and then die without proof, right?" Liang Xi puffed out his mouth and asked angrily.

Li Ying glanced at Liang Xi coldly, she had never had a good impression of this rude and willful princess. Before marrying Liang Xuan, Li Ying reluctantly treated her with a good face, but now that she is a queen, she can't tolerate a princess above her.

"Princess Xi, the emperor hasn't spoken yet, where is your turn."

Li Ying glanced at Liang Xi again, but this time, Liang Xi was not so frightened that he lowered his eyes, but replied confidently: "Xi'er is overstepping, but the queen mother, you are evading the problem openly and secretly, are you weak-hearted?" ”

"You ......" Li Ying was angry, but she didn't have a word.

Yan Shuangfei sneered in his heart, Li Ying was not weak-hearted, but just afraid. She was afraid that she had deliberately bought off the so-called assassin and then confessed her Li Ying's name. However, Li Ying's worries this time are too simple. If it's just that simple, why bother.

"The queen need not worry, the assassin has a hard mouth, but he is loyal to his master." Liang Xuan said lukewarmly.

Li Ying was stunned, listening to Liang Xuan's tone, she still suspected that she did it. It's just that to her surprise, the assassin didn't confess to her - isn't framing her Yan Shuangfei's purpose?

However, even if the assassin confessed to her, she was not afraid. There is no evidence, just based on the assassin's words, she can also countersue Yan Shuangfei for a false accusation.

"Then ask the emperor to interrogate, and the concubines will retire first." Li Ying made a blessing and glanced at Yan Shuangfei deeply, but when she met her pretending to be friendly, she was panicked for a while.

Li Ying stepped out of the imperial study, and Qian Baochen hurried in and knelt on the ground. "Your Majesty, that assassin has always refused to confess."

"Can you be sentenced?" Liang Xuan frowned.

Qian Baochen nodded, the expression on his face was very heavy. "I've tried all kinds of punishments, but he has a hard mouth and refuses to reveal any information."

"Oh, he's a loyal minion." Liang Xuan's ridicule was full of appreciation, after all, people who can survive torture are really rare.

Yan Shuangfei gritted his teeth and barely managed to look natural. Gu Shan - she had only met once, but this one side had brought him such a painful torment.

"Your Majesty, Duan guards ask to see you." The eunuch walked in small steps, breaking Liang Xuan's musings.

"Xuan." Liang Xuan responded.

Yan Shuang flew out of the door to look, and Duan Ming was walking into the hall with a calm face. It seems that everything is going well.

"Humble Duan Ming knocks on the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

"No courtesy." Liang Xuan responded, and hurriedly asked, "Duan Guard, I asked you to check the origin of those assassins, do you have eyebrows?" ”

Duan Ming nodded, his tone undiminished. "Back to the emperor, I found a Praetorian Guard token on one of them, and the four palanquin bearers were all disguised by the palace Praetorian Guard."

"Praetorian Guard?!" Liang Xuan was startled, and his gaze teleported to Qian Baochen. "The man in the prison, have you identified him?"

"Back to the emperor, the humble post did not find any tokens on him." Qian Baochen replied.

Seeing this situation, Yan Shuangfei immediately echoed: "That person is loyal, presumably the head of the four, naturally acting carefully, and does not carry anything that can reveal his identity. ”

Duan Ming nodded, handed the scroll in his hand to the eunuch and presented it, and explained: "Your Majesty, I have gone to the Praetorian Guard to verify it, and the Praetorian Guards on duty can recognize the appearance of these three people, and they can testify that they will leave the palace together after the shift change today, and their whereabouts are unknown. ”

"Praetorian Guard......" Liang Xuan muttered to himself, his mood suddenly complicated.

"The Praetorian Guard is under the jurisdiction of Commander Li, is it difficult to ......" Qian Baochen asked tentatively and softly, and halfway through his words, he glanced at Liang Xuan's face and did not explain.

Liang Xi listened to the general situation on the side, and also understood the current situation, and suddenly said angrily: "Brother Huang, isn't this obvious? Li Ying was jealous of her cousin-in-law, so she found her brother and asked him to send troops to disguise himself as a sedan chair man, wanting to kill her cousin-in-law! ”

"Xi'er, the matter hasn't been clarified yet, don't make a conclusion." Yan Shuangfei was afraid that Liang Xi's recklessness would annoy Liang Xuan, so he hurriedly persuaded him.

"Cousin-in-law......" Liang Xi wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Yan Shuangfei's shaking of his head.

Yan Shuangfei moved slowly, stood still beside Liang Xuan, looked at his tightly knit brows, and knew that his heart was also extremely uncalm.

"Your Majesty, the concubines have a plan, I don't know if the emperor is willing to give it a try."

"What's the plan?" Liang Xuan was stunned, his eyes moved to Yan Shuangfei's face, and met her indifferent gaze, and he felt a pain in his heart for some reason.

Yan Shuangfei pursed his lips and looked at Duan Ming. "Guard Duan, have you found out the identity of the assassin who was arrested in prison?"

"Mrs. Hui, that person's name is Wu Quan, he is currently the leader of the patrol at the east gate of the Praetorian Guard, his family lives in Jinhang Lane, and he has a wife and two daughters at home." Duan Ming replied unhurriedly.

Yan Shuangfei nodded. "Okay, now you go and put his family under house arrest and take a token from his wife."

"Yes." Duan Ming received the order, and without waiting for Liang Xuan's order, he retreated.

Qian Baochen glanced at Liang Xuan's expression, and saw that he didn't have any objections, so he stood in place stupidly, not moving.

"Your Majesty, next, the concubine wants you to accompany the concubine to perform a play, I wonder if the emperor can cooperate?" Yan Shuangfei asked with a faint smile.

Liang Xuan retracted the momentary distraction, and when he looked at Yan Shuangfei again, he also returned to an indifferent expression. "Madame, please."

Liang Xi looked at Yan Shuangfei curiously, not knowing what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd, although Qian Baochen was curious, there was a little more doubt in his eyes.

Yan Shuangfei pursed his lips, and his smile suddenly became a little more mysterious. "I want to take the emperor to meet someone first."
