Sima Shangshu stretched out his hand to take it, looked at the jade pendant carefully, and muttered to himself: "This jade pendant is worth a lot of money, the owner is either rich or expensive, too, people who have no money can afford an assassin to assassinate the prince?" ”

On the second day, the news of the assassin's destruction of King Ping's Mansion quickly spread to the palace, and King Ping ran to the Imperial Palace early in the morning to cry. dragged Zhong Liyue, and even the early dynasty was not in time.

Zhong Liling didn't know that he had been calculated, and he didn't know that it was the crown princess he had bullied all day long who pushed him into the abyss.

On the Royal Palace, Zhong Liyun did not give up in front of Zhong Liyue, crying and making trouble: "Father, the sons dare not return to the Ping Palace." ”

"It's okay, I will definitely keep an eye on this case, and I will definitely catch the real culprit behind the scenes for you."

"Father, don't go back. The father didn't know that the guards in the palace died one by one in front of his son's eyes last night, and even the concubines of his sons were now unconscious because of protecting his sons. ”

Zhongli helped his forehead, it seemed that he was really scared.

"Your Majesty, Sima Shangshu asks to see you."

"Xuan."

Sima Shangshu came to the Imperial Palace with the evidence and saw King Ping prostrate at the emperor's feet. He lowered his eyes and bowed before mentioning the assassin in Pingwangfu last night. He presented the jade pendant in his hand, and Gonggong Zhao presented it to Zhong Liyue.

Zhong Liyue took the jade pendant for a moment, and after seeing this jade pendant clearly, his body trembled: "Ahem...... Ahem......"

"Father, what's wrong with you?" Zhong Liyun hurriedly got up, wanting to smooth him out, but raised his hand but stopped his movements, his father didn't like his touch.

"Rebel, rebel!" The more Zhongli thought about it, the more angry he became, the person who killed his brother was not worthy of sitting in the position of the prince: "Sima Shangshu, I ordered you to go to General Wei and lead people to surround the prince's mansion, and no one is allowed to enter or leave the prince's mansion." ”

"Yes."

Zhong Liyue threw the prince's jade pendant to Sima Shangshu, how could he not recognize this jade pendant? Every time he went to court, the prince stood under his nose, and he always wore this jade pendant on his body and never took it off.

"Yun'er, can you leave the palace with peace of mind now?"

"How did my father ......" Zhong Liyun saw that Zhong Liyue was so angry, and was a little puzzled: "Did the eldest brother do something wrong?" Yun'er can't leave the palace, it's dangerous outside the palace, and no one knows when the next group of assassins will come. ”

"Okay Yun'er, I promise you that this will never happen again." Zhongli let out a long breath, he just thought that he was too domineering and ruthless, but he didn't expect him to kill his own brother.

He needed to be quiet, he needed to take a break, it came so suddenly, he couldn't stand it.

"Ahem......"

"The Emperor's ......"

……

Receiving the order, the captain quickly returned to the city with a group of soldiers, and he galloped through the market on a tall black horse, and the soldiers behind him trotted all the way.

When the people in the street saw this, they talked about it.

Wei Shangqing and Sima Shangshu met in the Prince's Mansion, and the originally calm Prince's Mansion was quickly surrounded by officers and soldiers. Sima Shangshu and Wei Shangqing, who was dressed in gold armor, walked into the mansion and expressed their intentions.

Zhong Liling, who was looking for something everywhere, saw the jade pendant in Sima Shangshu's hand and instantly fell to the ground. The rest of the subordinates knelt on the ground with Ming Yingzhi, quietly waiting for what was about to happen in the next moment.

"Last night, King Ping's Mansion was tragically destroyed, and only King Ping and an injured concubine were left in the whole house. This is what was found on the assassin's body, and the emperor confirmed that it was the personal belongings of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Sima Shangshu showed the jade pendant in front of everyone, and Wei Shangqing stood aside, frowning and not saying a word.

"The emperor ordered us to immediately surround the prince's mansion, and everyone in the mansion was forbidden to enter and exit. Wait until things are clarified before making a decision. Sima Shangshu announced Zhong Liyue's order, and turned to look at Wei Shangqing: "This time has been annoying General Wei." ”

"Here's what to do."

When Wei Shangqing and Sima Shangshu left, Zhong Liling got up like crazy and grabbed Ming Yingzhi's neck: "You came to the palace last night just to steal the jade pendant, right?" Even at the expense of hue, he did not hesitate to kiss the main palace. It turns out that you hate this palace so much, Ming Yingzhi, you go and die! ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince."

"His Royal Highness the Prince."

Wei Shangqing, who was outside the mansion, heard the movement and hurriedly led someone into the mansion to pull away Zhong Liling.

"Come on, send the crown prince and the crown princess back to their respective courtyards to take care of them, and they are not allowed to leave the courtyard for half a step."

"Captain Shangqing, don't be too complacent." Zhong Liling heard the order of the captain and poured his anger on him.

Wei Shangqing was neither humble nor arrogant, and replied lightly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, this is the duty of the minister. ”

Zhong Liling, who was dragged away, laughed loudly, did he lose? He did lose, he didn't expect Ming Yingzhi to betray him, he didn't expect Ming Yingzhi to be such a femme fatale.

If something happens to him, the entire Prince's Mansion will be implicated, and the Ming family will not be able to escape. Is she Ming Yingzhi so not afraid of death? After hibernation for so long and patience for so long, it turned out to be waiting for the outbreak of this day.

Under the skin that she didn't care about before, her resentful face was wrapped, Ming Yingzhi, Ming Yingzhi, how could she hide it so deeply? She didn't hesitate to break the net, losing both, and his only fault was to underestimate this woman.

Ming Yingzhi stayed in his own courtyard, still with the same indifferent look as before, not panicked, not sad or happy. As if the whole thing had nothing to do with her, as if she wasn't the one who was about to go to prison. She will be in prison, but she will not lose her life, she believes in Qing Zijin's personality, and she believes in Qing Zijin's ability.

……

Wei Ziyu, who had been traveling for several days, finally arrived in Licheng, and the four of them separated from outside the city. Wei Ziyu and Heiyue returned to the Governor's Mansion, Zhongli Boqian returned to the Xianwang Mansion, and Sima Wanqin returned to the Sima Mansion.

Wei Ziyu's black horse ran to the door of the mansion, lifted her hat, and the people saw that it was her, and hurriedly welcomed her into the mansion. Yu Ziyu and Black Moon jumped off their horses and stepped into the Captain's Mansion.

"Miss is back?"

"Feed them alive." Wei Ziyu smiled at the man leading the horse.

The man nodded, and led the two horses toward the stables.

"Why is the house so calm today, why didn't my brother come to greet me?"

"If Miss Hui is back, something will happen to you."

"What's wrong?"

"Somehow, the emperor sent people to surround the prince's mansion, and ordered the general to watch there, the camp outside the city cannot be without generals for a day, the eldest prince went to watch the soldiers stationed in the camp for the general, and was also responsible for training them, and he has been busy recently."

"Are there any suspicious people outside the mansion lately?" Wei Ziyu remembered that when she was leaving the capital, someone often stared at her secretly.

"There used to be two people who used to appear outside the house, but then one of them disappeared, and now the remaining one has also disappeared."

"Okay." Wei Ziyu pursed his lips and said with a smile: "You are worthy of being your father's subordinates, even if you can't go to the battlefield, your ability has not retreated at all." ”

"Miss Xie Er's appreciation."

"That's right." Wei Ziyu remembered what the delusional disciple said about King Xian: "Recently, someone has come to the mansion to propose marriage?" ”

"Hehe......" The man scratched the back of his head uncomfortably: "Since the news came out that the young lady smashed the emperor's small teapot with her bare hands at the New Year's banquet, not to mention those noble sons, even those ordinary men passing by in front of the captain's mansion will be far away from the mansion gate." ”

"......" Wei Ziyu spread his hands helplessly: "Okay, you go down first!" ”

"Yes."

Heiyue and Wei Ziyu rushed back to Wangyunxuan together, and after running around for several days, they were already too tired to do anything. On the way, they did not eat or sleep well. When Liel saw them returning, she immediately prepared food and hot water.

Wei Ziyu took a hot bath, relieved his fatigue, ate his meal, and then lay back on the couch and fell asleep. What happened to the prince's mansion, what happened to King Xian, wait for her to rest and think about it.

……

Zhongli Boqian returned to King Xian's mansion, and Xiaochun heard the wind and immediately came out to greet him.

When Xiaochun saw Zhongli Boqian, he was so excited that he snorted and cried: "Your Highness the Seventh, you are back." ”

"What? What's wrong? "Zhongli Boqian is also very tired.

"Lord Wang, he ......" Xiao Chun wanted to speak and stopped, glanced at the people around him, and leaned into Zhongli Boqian's ear: "Lord Wang, he ...... went to Zuo Xiang's mansion to be hired, and he is about to marry Miss Xishuang of Zuo Xiang's family. ”

"What?" If Zhongli Boqian remembers correctly, isn't his brother going to marry his beloved woman? Zhongli Boqian didn't remember when he had feelings for that Li Xishuang, he had always hated that woman, and he looked like he thought he was amazing.

"One more thing."

"What?"

"The emperor ordered the Prince's Mansion to be blocked."

"Why is this happening?" Could it be that someone did it in advance?

"Koharu doesn't know."

"Go and prepare some hot water and food, Your Highness needs to rest." Zhongli Boqian walked briskly towards Hanxiao Courtyard, remembering that his brother was going to marry Li Xishuang's woman, and paused in his steps: "Brother has something abnormal recently?" ”

"There's nothing out of the ordinary, he used to like to stay in the study, but now he likes to stay in the bedroom, it's just a different location, and the Shangguan Commander is looking at it, it's okay."

Moved from the study to the bedroom?

Let's wait until he is well rested and then go to see his brother.

……

After the Prince's Mansion was surrounded, Ming Dai was restless day by day. He and the crown prince are both prosperous and loss-oriented. Now that the crown prince has an accident, he has made a statement to the emperor, so that the emperor will not enter the oil and salt. He had to hurry up and find a way, otherwise the Ming family would be implicated sooner or later.

"Someone." Ming Dai wrote the letter, handed it to his trusted subordinate, and took out an old purse from his arms: "Quickly go to Yue'an City to find Princess Yu and take this token." ”

He didn't want to rely on Zhong Liyu, but the current situation was grim, and he couldn't resolve the situation alone.

After the country of Feirong was destroyed by Wei Shangqing, the remaining forces were not as good as before, and Wei Shangqing's subordinates were stationed in various cities of Feirong, and it was simply whimsical that they wanted to raise troops there. The emperor has made a good calculation, and now Wei Shangqing is sitting in the city and leaving the city, and he still has 300,000 garrisons under his command, even if he breaks through all the checkpoints outside Gurong City and breaks through many obstacles, he will not be able to compete with Wei Shangqing when he arrives in Lidu.
