Chapter 13: Temptation
"Otherwise, you disguise yourself as a man and go to the barracks with me, so that you won't be bored in the mansion all day long." The city stepped on the snow proposed.
A hint of excitement flashed in Leng Ruoqi's eyes, but he still rejected the proposal to step on the snow.
"Forget it, I'll wait for you at the house."
Leng Ruoqi's answer made Cheng Taxue say what was in his heart. "I don't want you to be different from before, I want you to go back to the way you used to be, not to mention that I don't love you, I don't want you to end up not even knowing yourself because you love me, and become someone you hate yourself. Do you understand?"
"Who said I love you, where did you get your confidence, it's not that Miss Ben can't find a man, since you said so, Miss Ben reluctantly agreed to you." Even if Leng Ruoqi said it easily, Cheng Taxue still captured the sad atmosphere in Leng Ruoqi's eyes.
"This is the Leng Ruoqi I know." Cheng stepped on the snow and said coldly.
"It's not too early, you should go back and rest early." Cheng Taxue said silently.
Leng Ruoqi didn't go back to the city to step on the snow, turned around and left, and the city stepped on the snow with the back of Leng Ruoqi leaving, and fell into deep thought.
After a long time, Cheng Taxue remembered the events of the day and the female assassin, since the female assassin had something to do with the soul eater, then as long as he found out who sent the female assassin, he could find out the mastermind behind the scenes.
"But who is going to assassinate the emperor?" Cheng Treadon Xue thought in his heart.
In fact, the biggest possibility is that the former regent Ran Shi and the current prime minister Li Feng, both of whom are people with power leaning towards the government and the opposition, but what is the purpose of the prime minister? Although the regent has fallen, there are still many forces that are intricately distributed in the government and the opposition, with power and power that cannot be underestimated, and the regent is the one who wants the emperor to die the most, and the regent is the most likely.
In the end, Cheng Taxue decided to test the two in person another day.
On this day, the city stepped on the snow and came to the house of Prime Minister Li Feng.
"Youlao, please go in and report it, the hussar general city is stepping on the snow." Cheng Treadon Snow said to the porter.
"Please wait a moment, General, and go in and report on the next horse." The porter bent over and said.
After a while, the porter came back, "General, unfortunately, my master is not in the mansion today, please come back another day." The porter replied.
"Since your master is not here, then it will be bothered, then I will come back to visit another day."
After leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cheng Taxue came to the Regent's Mansion, and after some rhetoric, Cheng Taxue was taken to the Regent's Mansion.
"Please wait a moment, my lord will be here soon." The housekeeper said.
Cheng Taxue nodded, after the housekeeper left, Cheng Taxue observed everything in the palace, this palace was so ruined, except for the two gatekeepers and the housekeeper, there was not a single subordinate in the palace.
"You are the newly sealed hussar general city stepping on the snow, and it was you who saved the emperor's life in the court." Before seeing him, he heard his voice first, and Cheng Taxue looked at the person who came out of the inner hall, this person was a relatively young middle-aged man, extremely handsome, as if time was useless to him, but his eyes revealed an evil spirit.
"Meet the prince, it's right here."
"What are you doing here?" The regent asked in an extremely impatient tone.
"I'm just here to meet the following princes, I don't know what the princes have on the emperor's assassination." Cheng Tread Snow asked tentatively.
"What opinion can you have, naturally it's not strange, there are so many people who have sinned in the emperor's child, there are many people who want to kill him, and it's not the first time, what's so strange." The corners of the Regent's mouth curled up seductively.
"Then who does the prince think is most likely to do this?"
"You don't have to test me, I know what you want to ask, don't you just want to know if I did it, I can tell you clearly, I want the emperor to die, but this time it was really not at my instigation." Ran Shi said.
Cheng Taxue was observing him when Ran Shi was saying something, his expression was very calm when he spoke, and there was no trace of waves in his eyes, and he couldn't see any flaws.
"In this case, Lord Wang, I was disturbed by the next, and I retired at the bottom." The city stepped on the snow with both hands.
"Hmph, don't send it." Ran Shi flicked his sleeves and turned away.
Out of the palace of the city stepping on the snow for a long time, did not leave, although the regent still said very clearly, but just feel that what he said is too calm, but more suspicious, the more the city of the snow feel that the more I think about it, the more I feel that something is not right, or feel that when it is night, come to the palace to explore the truth to dispel the doubts in my heart.
It was night, dressed in night clothes of the city stepping snow came to the outside of the palace, the city stepping snow was about to turn over and enter, suddenly there were a lot of dark guards, the city stepping snow can only hide first, and after the dark guards left, the city stepping snow smoothly entered the palace, and then the city stepping snow encountered several batches of secret guards.
"This regent palace is really not as simple as it looks during the day, and there are so many secret guards at night, which shows that this palace has a lot of ulterior secrets." Cheng Taxue thought silently in his heart.
Immediately, Cheng Taxue came to the study, and after searching for a long time, Cheng Taxue finally found a mechanism in the study, and when Cheng Taxue opened the mechanism, a lot of arrows were shot out of nowhere, and Cheng Taxue had nowhere to hide and was shot in the abdomen by arrows. "It's not good, it's poison on the arrow." Castle Treadon Snow was surprised.
Xu is movement in the study was too loud, and he only heard someone shouting, "There are assassins in the study, and there are assassins in the study." "A lot of secret guards are pouring into the study, there is no way to step on the snow in the city so you have to leave first, because something happened, there are a lot of secret guards in the palace, and the city is not able to get out of the snow for the time being, so you can only find a place to hide first.
