Suddenly, Lu Huaide's face was shocked, he didn't expect Qi Niang to suddenly ask about Lu Yong's cause of death, and he was stunned for a long time before he said hesitantly: "Your father, his ...... It's the ...... who died of illness."

"Whether it was death from illness or being poisoned, I'm afraid it's not just the eldest father who knows it, right?"

"You ......"

Lu Huaide opened his mouth, suddenly raised his finger to land Lu Zhaoyi, trembling his arm, "You, you are simply ......"

"Simply what?" Lu Zhaoyi sneered and cut off his unfinished words, "Is it disrespectful, disobedient and unfilial, or is it disobeying the clan law and bullying the elders?"

Hehe, didn't the eldest father forget, I am no longer from the Lu family, this time I am here in the name of a military disciple.

"And you, Father, have wanted to put my father to death many times, and in the past three years since my father's death, can this heart of my father be safe?"

was exposed to the lie in front of him, and suddenly he became angry, "Hugh wants to be unscrupulous, how can I do such a heart-wrenching act?" Tiger poison does not eat children. ”

Lu Zhaoyi looked sarcastic, leaned into his ear, and whispered: "The great Sima Xia Yuansheng won a triumphant victory in Dongning, and is now on the way back to Beijing with his troops, Zhou Yi and Zhou Qian were captured, and when they return to Luojing, I hope that the eldest father can still be so hard-mouthed." ”

After saying this, she waved her skirt sleeves and walked away, and behind her, in the main house, the old lady let out a roar of rage.

"I will not allow you to slander me like this."

……

Early the next morning, when Lu Zhaoyi woke up, he found that Gu Man was no longer in the house, got up in his clothes, hurriedly washed, and rushed out of the east courtyard to look for it.

As soon as he got out of the courtyard, he saw Gu Man holding a letter in his hand and hurriedly ran back.

"Qi Niang, it's a letter from Mr. Fifth, asking if what you Yuan Zuoxiang said is true." Gu Man was out of breath and hurriedly handed it over.

The fifth Langya, who used to be the prime minister of Lingguo, is now the chief lieutenant, the head of the three dukes, and another person who knows her identity.

However, due to the troubled times of the Five Kingdoms in the past, the fifth had no intersection with Yuan Qi in private, and he did not know the calculations of Lu Zhaoyi and Yuan Qi, so he sent a letter to inquire.

Maybe she had expected him to write from him, but she didn't expect it so soon, and she asked about the news outside today.

After several inquiries, I learned that it was Lu Taigong who called a carriage overnight, rushed into the palace to complain to Xia Pei, and ran into Yuan Qi, the two argued in front of the palace, and the news was quickly spread.

After this toss, Lu Huaide sprinkled the accusation of Qi Niang in the palace, and overnight, the entire Luo Kyoto was well known.

After hearing this, she couldn't help shaking her head and sighing, pulled Gu Man back to the courtyard, and began to tell him to do three things.

First, he wrote back to the fifth Langya to explain the reason, and asked him to cooperate with Yuan Qi in the court.

Second, he sent people to collect evidence of Lu Huaide's crimes, especially in the western suburbs of Zhuangzi, to raise singers to bribe courtiers, collude with corrupt criminals, and hand over the evidence to Yuan Qi.

Third, the Shadow Moon Commander Shadow Cloud, tonight, discussed important matters in the Gouchen Courtyard.

After giving the order, Gu Man set off to go out, while Lu Zhaoyi began to prepare for the matter of sneaking back to Gouchen Courtyard tonight.

In the courtyard, Lu Zhaoyi walked to the peach tree, broke the branch, and hung it on the porch of the inner courtyard, and in a few snaps of his fingers, a woman in a black oversuit arrived and knelt on one knee at her side.

"What do you command, sir?"

Lu Zhaoyi's expression was calm, and she walked to the inner room, and the woman in black who was kneeling on the ground got up and followed, until she reached the inner room, and then slowly said, "What is the current situation in the other courtyard?" ”

The woman in black bowed and saluted, "Mr. Hui, since yesterday His Majesty sent his personal guards to the other courtyard, and since then, he has been lurking around the courtyard, keeping watch day and night, as if he ...... His Majesty guessed that the gentleman was not in the other courtyard. ”

After listening to the report, she nodded lightly, "Contact Shadow Wind, and order him to think of something, bypass His Majesty's eyeliner, and let me go back to the other courtyard." ”

In the evening, outside the door, Gu Man pushed the door in and gave a salute, "Xiao Man has done everything that Qi Niang ordered." ”

"Fifth, what did he say?"

"Back to Qi Niang, Mr. Fifth said that he would do what Qi Niang wanted."

After listening, Lu Zhaoyi snorted and didn't continue to ask, just told him to go back to the house and rest early, and Gu Man naturally didn't dare to disobey her, so he had to nod and agree.

On the branches of the moon, she had changed into a brand-new black robe, holding a black hat in her hand, and when it was dark, she walked out of the Hou Mansion with the help of the shadow guards in the mansion.

Familiar with the road, she finally rushed to the capital before midnight, and successfully let Lu Zhaoyi enter the Gouchen Courtyard, and she saw the deputy commander of the Shadow Moon Guard at first sight.

"Sir, the Grand Commander is waiting in the study." Shadowwind was dressed in armor and looked athletic, but he was indeed a man of courage.

Under Lu Zhaoyi's cultivation, he has more and more potential to be a general.

"Since Shadow Cloud is in the study, I'll go by myself."

Yingyun, as the personal guard sent by Wu Gong to Gou Chenzi, must stay in Gou Chen's courtyard at all times to avoid arousing suspicion.

That's why she's coming back and discussing with Shadow Cloud here.

When she first stepped into the study, Lu Zhaoyi saw a black shadow flashing, and subconsciously, she raised her hand and put her hat a little lower, so that people couldn't see her appearance clearly.

But when she thought about it, this was her own courtyard after all, and maybe this black shadow was also the trace of Shadow Moon's patrol. In the blink of an eye, he relaxed his vigilance again and walked inside.

The bookshelf was facing away from the direction of the door, and Lu Zhaoyi vaguely saw the figure of a person, sitting in front of the desk, not like the shadow cloud she was familiar with, but like a stranger.

Seeing this scene, Lu Zhaoyi didn't speak, but lightly wanted to leave the study.

When she retreated to the door, a long knife suddenly flashed out of the shadows and attacked her.

When he was nervous, another group of people came holding torches, and the piercing shouts of killing suddenly made Lu Zhaoyi sober up, and he hurriedly escaped from the assassination and escaped behind the bookshelf.

The next moment, the entire study was illuminated by a translucent light, so that the assassin had nowhere to hide.

At this time, in front of the desk, I saw a pair of straight long legs, a slender figure, casually resting on the armrests of the chair, broad shoulders, and tight side face lines, revealing a handsome charm that cannot be described in words.

But what attracted Lu Zhaoyi's attention the most was the black and thick black hair, as well as the angular face, which could not hide the domineering momentum he exuded.

Soon, several men in cloth dragged a man in black to him, and one of them bowed to the person sitting at the desk.

"Your Majesty, the person who intended to assassinate the military advisor has been captured, please make a decision on your Majesty."

Hearing this, Lu Zhaoyi raised his eyebrows slightly.

It's actually Xia Pei?

The man sitting at the desk, Xia Pei, the founding monarch of the Great Abyss, looked at a bookshelf in the corner, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and he didn't seem to listen to what his subordinates said.

"Your Majesty!"

The man in the cloth whispered again.

But Xia Pei slowly got up from the chair and walked closer to the person who was tied up by the five flowers, and a strong sense of oppression suddenly swept over, making the person's breathing become rapid, and sweat soaked his clothes.

"Heh......"

The thin lips opened slightly, and a cold smile emerged from his mouth, Xia Pei lowered his eyes and glanced at the kneeling person on the ground, and then reached out to brush away the dust that did not exist on his sleeve.

"The crime of assassinating a military advisor is unforgivable and should be punished by chokeness. But if I can confess to the same party, I can open up the net. ”

"Your Majesty!" The person who was bound smiled sinisterly, like a sign of a dying person, "There is nothing to say, Gou Chen will not die, and the national enemy will not be destroyed." ”

After saying that, a mouthful of blood gushed out, and he was so angry that he had taken the poison before he came here.

Behind the bookshelf, Lu Zhaoyi hid, listening to their words, a strange feeling rose inexplicably in her heart, but she had no time to care about anything else, if she was caught......

Thinking about it, she took advantage of the others' unpreparedness and quickly left the bookshelf.

Just as Xia Pei turned her head to look over, she jumped violently and ran out of the window......

Before she could get closer, however, a strong gust of wind blew over the curtain of the hat on her head, and in the blink of an eye, she fell into an embrace.

And that tough and domineering aura made her instantly stagnant and her breathing stagnant.

Lu Zhaoyi's eyes widened and looked at the person in front of him.

His face is as handsome as jade, and his deep and distant eyes seem to hide endless secrets, even if it is just a back, it still exudes a breathtaking courage.

Her breathing gradually became heavier, and the heart in her chest hit her wildly, making her mind blank.

Xia Pei's gaze was always fixed on her face.
