As the New Year approaches, the weather in the capital is getting colder and colder, and the situation is getting more and more severe.

There were eight assassinations in this month, and only Xiao Jing, the secretary of the military department, escaped. There has been a lot of discussion in Chang'an City, and everyone is speculating who planned this series of big cases? I was also surprised why the imperial court hadn't reacted yet - why didn't the emperor show up this time when such a big event happened in Beijing?

Some people have even said that the emperor has already died, and the imperial court is just afraid that the news will cause a radical change, and has never dared to announce it to the public. The common people did not dare to say it publicly, but all kinds of rumors still spread.

A wave of unevenness has risen again and again.

The emperor suddenly announced in the court that he would recuperate in the harem - from then on all government affairs were handed over to the crown prince. And crowned Shangguan Cang as the protector of the country, commanding all the military horses in Beijing.

The Shangguan family is already one person and more than 10,000 people. If the crown prince succeeds to the throne, then Shangguan Cang will become the national ruler, and it will be a supreme honor.

This year's snow has been falling endlessly.

Qu Ninghao's arrow wound was finally almost healed before the end of the year. He still deliberately pretended to be sick, pretending to be sick in bed all day long, and listened to Kong Yang's report idly.

"Master." Kong Yang stood beside him and handed over a stack of papers. Qu Ninghao flipped through casually, and his face slowly became solemn.

Shangguan Cang has already begun to eradicate his wings - not only Bai Jingxuan's henchmen have been demoted and demoted, but even his has not been spared. Now the six departments and nine Qings are all Shangguan Cang's old departments.

"What's going on with Bai Jingxuan?"

"The Eighth Prince is too busy to take care of himself, and he has been avoiding everyone recently."

Qu Ninghao frowned, this was not like the Bai Jingxuan he knew.

This wise man who is close to demons will never be at the mercy of others.

Just as he was thinking, there were a few sounds of breaking the air outside the house, followed by Xiao Jiu's muffled snort and the sound of heavy objects falling.

Kong Yang immediately drew his sword and protected it in front of Qu Ninghao.

Who is it? Can he silently pass through the organs all over the Four Princes' Mansion and come to Qu Ninghao's dormitory?

The door was gently pushed open.

The person who came was dressed in a dark robe and stood against the door. Although the wind and snow were heavy outside, there was no snow on his side. It was as if a warm and gentle power emanated from him, melting those cold frost and snow. A pair of peach blossom eyes seem to have a glow flowing, which is breathtaking.

Qu Ninghao's pupils slowly contracted: "You're finally here, I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”

At this moment, Liu Xinzi stroked the gold token in his hand and handed it over to the hand of the ringman: "This is the order to return to heaven, a total of five." You spread it out from secret locations, and then you spread it out to the rivers and lakes. The first patient with a token came here, and I was exempt from the consultation fee. For the last four, the consultation fee is 100,000 people. ”

The ringman looked at Liu Xinzi's beautiful face, and nodded solemnly.

"Quit Evil, this is the last thing I've asked you to do." She turned around, looked at the white patch outside the window, and said in a gloomy tone: "Now that I have been kicked out of the mansion, I have nothing to do with Bai Jingxuan, and you don't have to be my secret guard." From tomorrow, you go. ”

"The princess ......" said in a deep voice: "The master has unspeakable hardships. ”

"I know—that's why I'm letting you go."

"Now that I have Tang Ze by my side, he will protect me thoroughly, you go and help Jing Shuo. Rest assured, I will take care of myself. ”

Jie Wei still shook his head, and Liu Xinzi smiled: "Now that I have been kicked out of the palace, no one will attack me again." ”

"Miss Liu......"

"That's enough, don't say it, I'm going to rest. From today on, tell Bai Jingxuan that I don't need his handouts, and I don't need his protection. ”
