"Lord Wang!" A man in a guard's clothes had a panicked face and stumbled into the front hall of King Yi's mansion, disturbing the prince Xu Yi and the princess who were sitting in the front hall talking.

"What's the alarm?" Xu Yi looked displeased.

The princess directly reprimanded: "There are no rules." ”

"Lord Wang, something is wrong!" The subordinates ignored the princess's reproach at all, gasped and then said, "Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials has been killed!"

"What? What are you talking about?" Xu Yi heard this, as if he had been struck by lightning, he stood up from his chair in shock, stepped forward and grabbed the collar of his hand who was kneeling on the ground and came to report, "Say it again!"

"Lord Shoshu of the Ministry of Officials...... Killed. In the face of the prince's shocked attitude, he accepted the trembling and repeated the undoubted news, "Early this morning, Lord Shangshu's body was found in his room by the maid. ”

"Ho...... Who did it?" Xu Yi asked with a blank moment in his mind, stiffening his body and staring at his eyes.

"It hasn't been found out yet, but all the belongings in Lord Shangshu's room have been looted, and it is estimated that they are coming for money. ”

"What a man who came for money...... What a rush for money!" Xu Yi's face gradually became extremely ugly.

Although there is no detail about the death of Shangshu in his hands now, he can't accept this reason at all, he is not so naïve, Lord Shangshu died tragically in the mansion after a failed attempt to assassinate Gong Yuyan, this is no accident or coincidence.

"Beima immediately went to Shangshu Mansion. Xu Yi gave instructions to the guards at the door, but his feet had already lifted and walked out quickly, and the subordinates who came to report also followed closely.

As soon as he stepped into the Shangshu Mansion, no one in the mansion dared to stop Prince Yi, and the more he walked inside, the more he cried, Xu Yi's face became more and more ugly, and the smell of blood in the air became more and more intense.

The body of the official Shangshu had not yet been moved out of the room, and remained in its place, waiting for the people from the government to come to inspect and deal with it, and Xu Yi was the first to come.

In front of the door of the room of Lord Shangshu knelt down all the wives and concubines and children in the house, all of them crying like tears of tears, who would have thought that such a good and decent person could suddenly die tragically in the house overnight? Mrs. Shang Shumai cried until she almost fainted, and when she saw Prince Yi coming, she could no longer stand up and salute.

"Mrs. Shangshu's Day condolences. Seeing this, Xu Yi spoke lightly, and then stepped into the blood-spattered room with a solemn face.

After a night of bloodstains, some of them have dried up, and the official Shangshu is facing the ground, falling next to the desk in the room, an obvious and extremely deep fatal wound is in the throat, Xu Yi, who knows a little about fur, can see that this should be killed by sealing the throat with a sword master, and the blood stains in the room are also gushing out from the moment the throat is cut.

There were traces of blood splattering on the walls, windows, tables, and screens, and there were also a large pool of undried blood on the ground.

The perpetrator was quick and ruthless, obviously to completely kill people, if it was only for money, there was no need to make such a ruthless hand, Xu Yi squatted on the ground, looking at Shang Shu's stiff body, his eyes showed great grief and resentment.

The official book has always been his most important arm, and it is also one of the few people he trusts the most, and almost half of the things in the palace are running by the official book, and now the official department is dead, which is equivalent to breaking his entire arm.

Blood had been kept warm in the room by the hearth of the house all night, and when the maid opened the door in the morning, the smell of death poured out, and the terrible smell had not yet dissipated in the room.

"Gong Yuyan. Xu Yi gritted his teeth and whispered the name, his voice was as cold as the melting snow outside the door, mixed with the smell of blood lingering in his nose, revealing a strong killing intent.

The official Shangshu got his order to assassinate Gong Yuyan, but he never thought that this woman who looked soft and weak was amazingly good, and the men he sent not only did not hurt Gong Yuyan in the slightest, but even two of them were seriously injured.

A few days ago, Lord Shangshu had just drawn up the next assassination plan to him, and he originally thought that the second time would be foolproof, but he didn't expect that the other party would spend a very short time to easily find out the identity of the assassin, and he took the lead and killed Shangshu directly.

This kind of power makes Xu Yi jealous, it is he who underestimates this woman, and even more underestimates the power behind this woman, since this is a conspiracy of Nancheng Kingdom, and Gong Yuyan was sent by Nancheng Kingdom, then behind her, it should be a huge supporting force of Nancheng Kingdom, and it is definitely not a lonely battle.

Now that the official book has been found, then the next one is him Xu Yi, thinking about this, the cold sweat mixed with unwillingness and resentment lingered on him complicatedly.

"See Lord Yi. "The people from the government arrived and came to conduct a routine investigation and autopsy.

"Be sure to find out about this matter and let Lord Shangshu look at it. Xu Yi stood up and spoke, his eyes a little red from forbearance and anger.

"Lord Yi rest assured. ”

Xu Yi stopped talking, turned his head and looked at the lifeless corpse on the ground again, with a trace of compassion in his eyes, and then turned around, and slowly walked out of Shangshu Mansion with a stiff face.

"Lord Wang, what should I do now?" Xu Yi's personal guard couldn't help but speak, he was the same as Shangshu, he knew all the plans and actions of the prince, and he also knew how big a blow the death of Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials would be to the forces controlled by his own prince, "Do you kill Gong Yuyan first, or find someone in the palace to take over the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials first?"

Xu Yi's footsteps stopped, and he said coldly: "Kill Gong Yuyan first." ”

If this woman is not eliminated for a day, everything will be out of his control, and only by killing Gong Yuyan can the original order inside and outside the palace return to his hands.

Xiyue Imperial Palace.

Darkness covered the sky, night fell, in the warm and bright emperor's bedroom, a woman was leisurely grooming in front of the mirror, and the unconscious emperor Xu Di was lying on the wide dragon bed behind her.

A small sound came from behind her, and the beauty in the mirror bent her red lips, but she smiled without looking back: "You're late." ”

"There are more guards in the palace tonight. Tang Feng explained lightly, indifferent to Gong Yuyan's beauty.

"It's not because Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials was killed by you, a big thief seeking money, that people are panicking now, and there will naturally be more guards in the palace. Gong Yuyan carefully combed the last strand of black hair, looked at his perfect makeup in the mirror, and then got up with satisfaction and turned to face Tang Feng, who was dressed in a black robe.
