Ling Qingrui's appearance provoked a string of laughter from Ling Xiao.

Since Ling Qingrui knew Ling Xiao, no, when she didn't know his true face, Ling Qingrui had heard such a loud laugh, this laughter was very good, but at this moment, it made her even more annoyed when she heard it, because what Ling Xiao said just now was "Qingqing, which man are you thinking about?" ”

The reason why Ling Qingrui was angry was that she remembered the conflict between the two before Ling Xiao left Beijing, which was triggered by such a sentence, and second, she was actually thinking about Ling Xiao just now.

Seeing that Ling Qingrui was about to be annoyed and angry, Ling Xiao stopped laughing, but the corners of his lips were still slightly raised, and the whole person approached Ling Qingrui slightly, reaching out and gently probing her forehead.

A warmth came from Ling Xiao's fingers, Ling Qingrui just wanted to say that she didn't have a fever, she felt the warmth slowly move down, and then it was transferred to her eyes, she couldn't help but close her eyes, and Ling Xiao's voice came from her ears, he said, "Qingqing, you are not happy." ”

Through the eyelids, feeling the temperature of Ling Xiao's fingertips, for some reason, the irritability in her heart decreased little by little, and Ling Qingrui even at this moment, there was a warm feeling in her eyes that she wanted to cry, it was a complex feeling mixed with grievances, uneasiness and other feelings.

Ling Xiao seemed to be aware of it, his fingers were still so gentle on Ling Qingrui's eyes, but the other hand was on her back, gently patting, as if coaxing a child, extremely gentle.

Ling Qingrui suddenly laughed, the pear vortex on her cheeks was deep and shallow, she reached out and pulled Ling Xiao's finger down, and asked with a smile: "Didn't you say that you want to show me something, what about something?" ”

Ling Xiao knew that her mood was improving, so she didn't ask much, just opened the box and pushed it in front of her.

Seeing that there was a dark cyan, almost black metal, and non-metallic thing inside, Ling Qingrui raised her eyebrows slightly in confusion.

"Qingqing, don't you feel familiar?" Ling Xiao also raised his eyebrows slightly.

Ling Qingrui reached out and picked up the object, it was really not as heavy as metal, and under a closer look, an item suddenly flashed in her mind.

"Azure Guard!" Ling Qingrui spat out these three words in her mouth, and what she suddenly sounded was that when the Shen clan was killed, Starfall desperately snatched the half of the Azure Guard token.

"Yes, to be exact, it's the same material used to make that half of the Azure Guard token." Ling Xiao added.

Hearing this, Ling Qingrui looked at him suspiciously, why did he want to emphasize that it was the same as the half of the Azure Guard token? Could it be ......

Just as Ling Qingrui was thinking about it, Ling Xiao took out an object from his arms, which was also a dark cyan color that was nearly black, and the words Tianqingwei were engraved on it, which was a complete Tianqingwei token!

"How do you have the Azure Guard Token?"

Ling Qingrui was extremely surprised, you must know that this Azure Guard token, even the prince can't have it, it is only in the hands of the current emperor, and then scattered in the hands of various Azure Guards, how can Ling Xiao have this token!

Ling Xiao's eyes flashed slightly, and then he said, "Snatched it from Tianqingwei." ”

Ling Qingrui's eyes froze, but Ling Xiao didn't wait for her to ask anything more, but just said, "Look at the difference between them, it's best to compare the half of the Azure Guard token." ”

Ling Qingrui glanced at Ling Xiao fixedly, seeing that he didn't have the slightest meaning to explain, her heart was slightly heavy, but it was also fleeting, didn't she also have a secret that she hadn't declared?

At that moment, Ling Qingrui took out the half token she was carrying from her sleeve, and then reached out to pick up the whole token in Ling Xiao's hand, but her eyes narrowed slightly.

Ling Xiao didn't know that Ling Qingrui was originally the one who held the scalpel, and she was very sensitive to these weight changes, but she also judged from her appearance that she had already discovered it, so she said, "You also found out, right?" ”

Ling Qingrui stared at the two things in her hand, nodded lightly, and said, "Although one is half a piece and the other is a whole piece, I can still detect that even if that half piece is combined into a complete token, it is definitely different from the weight of the whole piece, although the difference is very small." But what does this mean? ”

Ling Xiao didn't answer, because he knew that Ling Qingrui wasn't asking him, and sure enough, Ling Qingrui continued: "Ling Xiao, what do you want to tell me?" You want to tell me that what I decided at the beginning was wrong, it was not Tianqingwei who killed the Shen family, it was not the emperor who sent people to kill people, and the mastermind behind the whole incident was not the emperor, right? ”

"Qingqing, I know you may be sad like this, but I absolutely can't let the real mastermind behind the scenes continue to go on and watch us fight and lose." Ling Xiao didn't think that Ling Qingrui was someone who couldn't withstand the blow, so he said bluntly.

Indeed, Ling Qingrui was only silent for a moment, and then analyzed extremely calmly: "Is it just because these two tokens are different?" It's just that if that's the case, isn't it too convincing, even if they don't weigh the same, or they are not the same material at all, it doesn't mean that the mastermind behind the scenes is not the emperor. ”

Ling Xiao nodded and said, "That's true, so I don't want you to see anything at once, I just want to track down with you step by step to find out whether the mastermind behind the scenes is the emperor." Does Qingqing know where this thing in the box came from? ”

Ling Qingrui was silent, just raised her eyes slightly to signal Ling Xiao to say while carefully examining the three items.

It turned out that the things in the box were brought back by him from the Lieliang Kingdom, and it was a unique mineral of the Lieliang Kingdom, with a very small output, almost belonging to the royal family.

After listening to Ling Xiao's words, Ling Qingrui also noticed that something was wrong, if the Azure Guard token was really made of such a substance, it would be a little unreasonable, how could the exclusive secret guard of the emperor of the Tianli Dynasty use the token unique to the royal family of another country? That doesn't make sense anyway.

Could it be that the mastermind behind the scenes used the fake Azure Guard token to deliberately mislead her and make her eyes stay on the emperor?

Suddenly, Ling Qingrui remembered the poison on Prince De's body at today's celebration banquet, did Ling Xiao already know that the emperor was not the mastermind behind the scenes, but Prince De!

Ling Qingrui's willow eyebrows frowned again and again, so that Ling Xiao couldn't help but make a move, gently smoothed it, and then reached out to hold Ling Qingrui, and with a light effort, he had already taken her out of the room and jumped on the roof quickly.

"Where are we going?" Ling Qingrui asked.

Ling Xiao lowered his eyes slightly and looked at the little woman in his arms, a charming smile was drawn on his lips, and he said in an extremely gentle tone: "Take you to a good place." ”

Seeing her frowning appearance, Ling Xiao felt uncomfortable in his heart, what he wanted to see was her smile, the pear vortex looming on her cheeks.

Also, there was something he might have told her and the other.

At this moment, inside the palace of Prince De.

Prince De sat on the top, always with a little smile on his face, at this time he looked at the few people kneeling on the ground almost iron-blue, one of them was the general surnamed Yu who had been on the road and had a conflict with Li Xin.

Prince De didn't say anything, just looked at them like that, those people trembled, and one of them trembled for a long time before he squeezed out a few words: "The prince forgives his sins!" The little one really didn't know what was going on, obviously he went to the border with the five princes, but he just slept and woke up for some reason...... It's in the green ......."

Seeing that Prince De's face became more and more ugly, the man trembled and swallowed the last word "Lou", and kowtowed with several other people, and after a while, there were already bloodstains on the ground.

Prince De also ignored them, and looked at General Yu with a grim gaze, General Yu immediately shuddered and explained: "Wang...... Lord Wang, it's not that the last general doesn't move forward, it's really that the five princes are ruthless, and General Wang supports him with all his might, making the entire military camp like an iron bucket, and the last general can't intervene or intervene......"

Prince De snorted coldly, and General Yu immediately stopped his mouth, touching his head to the ground and not daring to get up.

I don't know how long it took, but Prince De spoke, "Okay. ”

The few people who kept kowtowing were almost about to faint, and they trembled and straightened up when they heard the words, but they still knelt on the ground, letting their foreheads be red and swollen with blood.

"What's the matter with that General Wang, when did he become the person of the Fifth Prince?" Prince De asked.

"Back to the prince, General Wang has always been upright, and he is a person who does not enter the oil and salt, no matter who is wooed, he should not admit it, and no one thought that he would have dealings with the five princes."

Prince De sneered: "I didn't expect it! This king has been planning for so long, and you tell this king that he didn't expect anything! Well? ”

"The prince forgives his sins!" Several people kowtowed together.

"Forgiveness? Do you know how much effort the prince spent to bring this to life? In the corner on the side, a person who couldn't see his face clearly opened his mouth and reprimanded: "If it weren't for the prince's eye disease, how could he use a few of you!" The result? Not only did he not achieve anything at all, but he didn't even know how the five princes won this war, and he also had the face to beg the prince for forgiveness! ”

Before this person spoke, no one noticed his existence, but as soon as he opened his mouth, several people kneeling on the ground couldn't help but tremble in unison, the people who followed Prince De, who didn't know that Prince De had a strategist by his side, and he was the most ruthless, and he didn't blink his eyes when dealing with people, and Prince De especially trusted him, almost obediently, if he said that he would let anyone die, Prince De would definitely not stop it.

Also, whoever he wants to die, no one can intercede, including the person who is being disposed of, and he can't spit out half a word of begging for mercy, otherwise that person will definitely die even worse!

Several people trembled, their eyes showing despair, but they didn't dare to say half a word.

At this time, someone hurriedly entered and whispered a few words in Prince De's ear, and Prince De's face changed again.
