"Report to the prince, the news from the palace just now says that the prince should go to the palace." A guard guarding the door stood at the door of Xiao Jingchen's room and said.

Xiao Jingchen and Zheng Xu, who were talking in the room, both stopped talking about tattoos first.

"The emperor is now calling the prince to go to the palace, it was not the assassin's matter last night. Zheng Xu said with some concern.

"It doesn't matter. Let's go get ready for the horses. Xiao Jingchen said very calmly.

"Miss, do you feel better on your feet?" Lixia came over with toiletries and said kindly.

Chu Xingli sat on the bed and stretched, and said, "It doesn't hurt." Chu Xingli got up and looked at his feet and said, "Lixia, what kind of medicine did you give me last night?" Yesterday it was a big swollen lump, and it went away today. ”

Lixia put down the toiletries, walked to the bed, and said, "This medicine was given to me by the third prince last night." He told me that you must help Miss rub it on. ”

"He? I didn't expect him to carry medicine with him. Chu Xingli felt a little incredible.

"What's unexpected about this, the third prince has been fighting outside all the year round, and it is inevitable to suffer some flesh and skin injuries, and it is not surprising that he has medicine on his body." When Lixia said this, Chu Xingli seemed to understand a little.

The Imperial Study

When Xiao Jingchen arrived at the imperial study, Xiao Jingsa and Xiao Hanji were already waiting for him here.

Xiao Jingchen hurriedly said: "Father, the son is late. ”

Xiao Hanji sat on the dragon chair and said, "It's okay. ”

"I came to you brothers today, I think you already know what is going on. Xiao Hanji said again.

"Father, but last night's Assassin's business." Xiao Jingchen said.

Xiao Hanji nodded and said, "I won't say anything more about last night's incident." He paused for a moment and then continued: "Chen'er, why did those assassins break into the palace, I think you should investigate it, since they are coming for you, then you should investigate this matter clearly." The missing person case I told you about yesterday, let your eldest brother investigate it alone. ”

"Yes." The brothers said in unison.

As soon as he walked out of the door of the imperial study, Xiao Jingsa couldn't wait to start asking Xiao Jingchen about last night and Chu Xingli.

"Third brother, what happened between you and Miss Chu last night." Xiao Jingsa: Your exit is purposeful.

"Big brother is too worried, nothing happened to me and Miss Chu last night." Xiao Jingchen's answer directly cut off Xiao Jingsa's later words.

Xiao Jingsa listened to it, and he didn't want to ask, if he continued to ask, it would make Xiao Jingchen suspicious, and in the future, it would be even more troublesome.

But in fact, Xiao Jingchen didn't think about it that much at all, since Xiao Jingsa mentioned Chu Xingli, he has been thinking about whether Chu Xingli's foot injury has healed, and whether he took medicine last night.

At this time, Xiao Jingsa wanted to change the topic, so he said, "Third brother, where are you going to start investigating the assassin last night." If there's anything you need your brother's help with, just tell your brother. ”

Xiao Jingchen was so fascinated that he didn't hear what Xiao Jingsa was talking about, so he responded: "Okay." After saying that, Xiao Jingsa couldn't wait to leave.

The courtyard outside Chu Xingli's room in the Prime Minister's Mansion

Chu Xingli and Lixia were chatting in the courtyard outside the room at this time.

"Lixia, you say, is it better for the eldest prince or the third prince?" Chu Xingli poked his chin with one hand, and drew a circle on the stone table with the other.

Lixia poured a cup of tea, sat down and said, "The two princes have their own goodness. The eldest prince is gentle, and the third prince is battle-hardened and domineering. ”

Chu Xingli listened and did not continue.

The content of their chat here has been listened to by Xiao Jingchen and Zheng Xu outside the wall.

Zheng Xu said outside the wall: "Lord Wang, why are you outside the wall. If you want to see Miss Chu, you can enter through the main gate generously, why do you want to eavesdrop here. ”

Xiao Jingchen ignored Zheng Xu, just smiled and left immediately. Zheng Xu is still there, and it is not clear.

Xiao Jingchen seemed to listen to Chu Xingli's words, Chu Xingli asked him to see the tattoo, and he left the person behind.

But Xiao Jingchen searched for two days without success, and the prison was also entered many times, and the tattoos were engraved in his mind.

The change of things had to start with the news that Zheng Xu hurriedly came.

"Lord Wang, the assassin is awake." Zheng Xu said: I was also shocked at the time.

Xiao Jingchen, who was drinking tea and reading a book in the courtyard, heard it and felt incredible. The tea hand in his right hand was heavier, and a lot of it spilled out of the cup. Xiao Jingchen put down the tea in his hand, the book was still in his hand, stood up and said, "What? The assassin woke up? What's going on? ”

Zheng Xuzheng panted and said, "My subordinates don't really understand what the people in the prison said this morning. At first, my subordinates didn't believe it. But when he went down to the prison to take a look, he found that the assassins had woken up. ”

After Xiao Jingchen patiently heard this, he said, "Prepare the horse and go to the prison." ”

There were many people in the prison, and the news that the assassin woke up quickly spread from it, and Chu Xingli also knew about it.

At this time, Chu Xingli was sitting at the desk and looking through the original owner's books. "It can make a person sleep for three days, during which it is like a dead person, and there is no need to eat. It was developed by Murong Ruichi, the general of the Li Kingdom. Chu Xingli looked at the book and read.

"Miss, I just heard what the kid at the door said, and the assassins in the prison are awake." Lixia walked in and said nonchalantly.

Chu Xingli didn't seem to hear it, and he was still thinking about Li Yansan in his mind. Lixia felt that Chu Xingli didn't seem to listen to him, so he walked to the desk, shook his hand in front of Chu Xingli's eyes, and said, "Miss, what are you thinking?" Thinking so fascinating. ”

"Ahh Lixia, what did you just say? Chu Xingli seems to be a serious student who has suddenly broken this learning environment.

"I just said, I just heard the kid at the door say that the assassins in the prison are awake." Lixia repeated what he had just said.

When Chu Xingli heard this, he was very surprised, so he said, "What did you say?" Awake? ”

"Hmm." Lixia simply nodded.

Chu Xingli looked down at the book on the desk again, thinking: It has been exactly three days since the last banquet. This is a distraction...... This...... That's not going to be hinting at me anything!

Chu Xingli hurriedly raised his head again and asked, "Lixia, do you know Murong Ruichi, the great general of the Li Kingdom?" ”

"Miss, what are you asking for?" Lixia scratched his head, he didn't understand: he was still a Heavenly Prison assassin just now, why did he pull General Li Guo again?

Chu Xingli couldn't help it, her curiosity was so strong that she was now very eager to know the ins and outs of this matter.

"Lixia, you don't have to worry about it so much. You just need to tell me now: Do you know something about Murong Ruichi, the general of the Li Kingdom? Chu Xingli grabbed Lixia's arms across a desk and looked at her with a longing gaze.

Lixia seemed to be frightened, because she had never seen Chu Xing like this. Lixia was a little frightened and said, "Little, miss, what's wrong with you?" Why did you suddenly ask General Murong? ”

"Lixia, you answer my question first." Chu Xingli looked at Lixia very firmly.

Lixia swallowed his saliva and said, "Mu, General Murong is the undefeated god of war of the Li Kingdom, as long as the army led by him fights, there will be no invincible. But three years ago, he lost in a big battle with the Three Princes and lost to the Three Princes. However, Lixia heard that because General Murong couldn't accept the fact that he lost to the third prince, he quickly committed suicide. ”
