I looked at the delicate orchid buckle in my palm and was slightly startled, and I heard his voice ringing in my ears.

"You'll be rewarded."

“……”

It turns out that it is a reward.

This is not an uncommon thing in the palace, and when the emperor was happy in the past, he would also reward the palace maids and eunuchs around him. But why is it not silk, or like the emperor and all the ladies who directly reward broken silver, but this button?

Although I was puzzled, I still reached out and twisted it.

Because I was pinched by his hand, and there was a little warmth, I pinched it in the palm of my hand and said softly: "Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward." ”

"Take it with you."

Listening to these four words in his deep voice, I don't know why my heart moved, and I was about to look up at him, at this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door, and when I looked up, I saw a guard walking over quickly, I recognized at a glance that it was a person who fought with the assassin last night and tracked him down, he walked to the door and knelt down and said: "My subordinates meet the Third Highness." ”

Pei Yuanhao turned to look at him and said lightly: "Say." ”

"The subordinates followed the group of assassins and went away, killing one person and wounding three others, but when they were in the west of the city—"

"How?"

"Follow, I lost it."

As he said this, the man's voice visibly trembled.

I also heard my heart tremble, doing things in the royal family, once the mission fails, it is a dereliction of duty, especially the vicious incident of the three princes being robbed and killed, so that the dignified Zhizhou of Yangzhou can come to ask me to intercede with this little palace maid, they are guards, I am afraid that they will lose their heads if they are not careful.

Unexpectedly, Pei Yuanhao was just silent for a moment, and then said coldly: "Go down." ”

The man raised his head and looked at Pei Yuanhao with some consternation, obviously he didn't expect it to be so light, seeing that Pei Yuanhao didn't say anything more, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Your Highness Xie!" ”

After saying that, he got up and walked away with a sigh of relief.

I sat there, and I didn't understand why Pei Yuanhao was so good at talking this time, and besides, if the assassin couldn't be caught, he was still very dangerous in Yangzhou, and there was no clue to trace at all.

Just when I was puzzled, there was a sudden sound of wind outside the window, and when I looked up, I saw a figure standing outside the window, but did not come in, only bowed.

"See Third Highness."

The time spent in the palace is not short, I suddenly understood, this is the shadow guard, the most mysterious of the royal guards, and the strongest elite, they have always only performed difficult and secret tasks, and never started lightly, but I didn't expect Pei Yuanhao to go south this time and bring them!

"Say it."

"The subordinates were ordered to lay an ambush around the city, and the brothers in the west of the city intercepted the assassin last night and followed him all the time."

I looked at Pei Yuanhao, he was still standing there calmly, without a trace of emotion, it seems that it is dangerous to enter Yangzhou City this time, and the shadow guard was arranged around the city in advance, and the dereliction of duty of the guard made the start of the shadow guard more hidden!

What a thoughtful thought!

I looked up at the mountain-like figure, and I only felt that the orchid buckle in my palm was hot for a while.

Pei Yuanhao said: "What is the result of the inquiry?" ”

"Back to His Highness, his subordinates followed the assassin back to the eastern suburbs, and found that the assassin had disappeared behind the long street west of Tongquetai."

"Oh?" He raised an eyebrow, "What is that place?" ”
