Seeing that no one responded in the room for a long time, Xu Chu began to feel a little impatient and uneasy in his heart, and was about to push the door in, his hand just stretched out, but he didn't want the door to be opened, the ninth princess was thin but still neatly standing at the door, seeing Xu Chu's hand that had not had time to retract, her face sank, and her tone said with a little anger: "Lord Xu, what do you mean, although my mother and I are in a difficult situation, but I still live in this Chu Palace, and I am still the daughter of my father, if I don't open the door, you plan to break in with you soldiers, right?" Xu Chu was shocked, but, after all, he had been a guard in the palace for so many years, and he was not frightened by this sudden scolding, he was still respectful, and replied unhurriedly: "The ninth princess forgives her sins, and she is also acting on orders, and there are villains in this palace, and she has not heard the princess respond for a long time outside the door, and she is afraid that the princess will have an accident and the king will blame her, so she acts so risky......" Yuan Li suddenly smiled lightly: "Lord Xu, I understand what you mean, this is also my fault, I went to the back mountain today to collect medicine for my mother, and I tripped over a tree stump, Fell into the grass next to me, this kind of thing happens often in the past, but it is not a big deal, but, I never thought that today there was a short sword hidden in the grass, which cut my arm, and when you came, I was bandaging myself, and I was nervous for a while, so I forgot to respond. ”

Hearing the word short sword, Xu Chu's heart was flooded, isn't it...... Just thinking about it, the ninth princess took the initiative to step aside: "Lord Xu, for the sake of safety, you better come in and search." Xu Chu answered, and then ordered his soldiers to go in, and after a while, a soldier came out with a short sword, Xu Chu took it, and looked at it carefully, "Ninth Princess, this is the short sword you said?" Yuan Li responded lightly, was silent for a long time, and explained: "Although I was injured by this sword, but seeing that it was not damaged, I thought about bringing it back to defend myself, you have been on an errand in the palace for so many years, you should know best how the safety inspection of Beihuayuan is." Xu Chu didn't answer, but Yuan Li knew that he must have heard these words in his heart.

After a while, Xu Chu replied: "Ninth Princess, this time the relationship is very important, and the lowly duty must be reported to the king......" Before he finished speaking, he saw a soldier in the distance come to report, and whispered in Xu Chu's ear, Xu Chu's expression gradually became complicated, turned around and saluted Liu Yuanli, made a gesture to the soldiers to collect the troops, and hurriedly left Beihuayuan.

Yuan Li stood in front of the door until she saw them disappear from view, Cui Niang locked the door, and then entered the house, and as soon as she turned around, the person was already sitting in the house, looking at her quietly.

Yuan Li raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes met for a moment, and he hurriedly shifted his gaze again, "Why haven't you left yet?" The tone was flat but it was difficult to hide the slightest nervousness and uneasiness in it, the man's complexion was already a little better at this time, he bent his eyebrows, and said jokingly: "I heard you just talked to Lord Xu, it seems that you are a little smart, why are you brainless now?" Those soldiers are guarding here, how can I go, besides, ......" He deliberately lengthened his voice, got up and stepped in front of Yuan Li a few steps, Yuan Li was so frightened by his sudden breath that he could only stand motionless, and suddenly saw him leaning sideways in her ear, and whispered: "Besides, I haven't had time to thank you, my benefactor." She had never had such close contact with a man, she took a step back in fright, and the crimson on her face gradually spread to the base of her ears, but the man only chuckled, still looking at her, "We will meet again." “

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and rolled out the window, and when he looked again, there was no trace of him.

Yuan Li didn't sleep all night, thinking back to what happened one day, that person should be the villain that Lord Xu said, but, looking at him like that, such a frivolous killer, I'm afraid that the target is not dead, he played himself to death first, and she just felt that he was not a bad person. Remembering the last words he said, I'll see you again. Will we really see you again? How did he know they would see each other again?

In the Chu Palace at that time.

"King Qiyu, the minister found this short sword in Beihuayuan, the ninth princess said that it was found on the Duyun Mountain outside the palace, and this dagger scratched the princess's arm, did the king send the imperial doctor to examine the princess's injuries?"

The king of Chu turned his back to him, was silent for a long time, his eyes were lowered, and he couldn't see his expression clearly, so he turned around for a long time and ordered lightly: "No need, this matter is over, there are only two thieves, trying to enter the palace to steal treasures, Xu Chu, you should understand what Gu means, huh?" ”

Xu Chu naturally understood what the King of Chu meant, but he didn't understand the purpose of doing this, there were obviously more than two people yesterday, and although their purpose was not to assassinate, it was by no means as simple as stealing. But since the king has commanded so, there must be a reason for it, and those who are courtiers only need to obey. After a simple reply, Xu Chu retreated.

It was late at night, but Liu Chun, the king of Chu, was still sitting at his desk, with a few books scattered in front of him, gently shaking the gold bottle in his hand, and smiling contemptuously: "Heh, test me, think about how much effort I have put into becoming the king of Chu, you want to take my power by force, I have been sitting on the throne for so many years, what can a small prime minister do to me, Liu Che, who is also a descendant of the Liu family, why should I be a minister, I have endured you for so many years, but I just want to be the king of Chu, don't force me to ......"

Beihuayuan, it's true that I haven't been to it for a long, long time.

In the inn hundreds of miles away, the man was dressed in white, standing in front of the window, his black hair was lightly tied, and the cool night breeze lifted his hair repeatedly, and the man in black beside him, with a heroic spirit between his eyebrows, and a long sword at his waist, waited quietly, but finally couldn't help but speak: "My lord, the night breeze is cold, you still have injuries......

"Don't get in the way, Yusheng, how long will it take to get to Pengcheng?" The man's tone was leisurely and elegant.

"It's going back to my lordship, it's going to take three days."

"We need to hurry up."

"Yes, my subordinates will arrange it immediately."

After speaking, Yusheng turned around and went out the door to instruct his entourage and others.

The man in white was still standing in front of the window, raising his eyes to meet the moonlight, and an imperceptible arc appeared on his face, Liu Yuanli is a very good candidate, and that matter, I am afraid that only Mrs. Fanghua herself knows best. Finding out that matter is also the second task given to him by the emperor, and he must complete it.

Yue Lingcheng, he didn't know why the emperor chose him alone to do this, but there was no other way but to accept it. In the past, there was a father, an eldest brother and a second brother in the family, he was full of strategy and talent, but he just wanted to be a swinger, and now, this responsibility is his turn, and it is so heavy.
