Hanjun County, Yuzhou, and Chaoge County, Sili Prefecture, are separated by Chenliu County of Yanzhou and Baima County of Dongjun.

And the Liang County of the fiefdom of the King of Liang, adjacent to the Han County, also has to cross the two places here to reach Chaoge.

But what people don't understand is that under the adjacency of Liang and Han counties, if there is really a conflict between the two, it should be in Yuzhou, why should it cross so far and meet in Chaoge?

There must be something strange in this.

But Xie Dongfeng refused to reveal half of the truth, he stiffened his neck, looking like he was not admitting defeat, "Lu Niangzi, don't talk nonsense, don't slander my innocence!" Where in the whole world are there that His Majesty's courtiers can't go?"

He has a point!

There is no fixed office for the state assassin history, and his duty is to inspect the state, and no one thinks it is strange that he leaves the state and county where he works from time to time.

Lu Zhaoyi seemed to realize that the Xie family was rooted in Hanjun, and Xia Sheng's fiefdom was also here, and the two of them exchanged eyebrows at the moment, so it seemed that their relationship was extraordinary.

Thinking of this, she suddenly chuckled in her heart, how many forces has Xia Sheng secretly attracted in the past two years?

What's more, it's still the Shi clan in various places, which is just contrary to her purpose of bringing down the Shi clan.

This can't help but make her wonder whether it was right or wrong for her to make the decision to form an alliance with him in the first place. Did he let him carry out that series of actions in Guanzhong, did he set up an opponent for himself in the future?

She didn't dare to think about it again.

Since the time in Chang'an City, Xia Sheng used her to expand the power of Guanzhong, and the two have been estranged.

To say that the last time was just an estrangement, at the moment, in Lu Zhaoyi's heart, he already had the idea of completely ruining the covenant.

Xia Pei, who was standing beside her, his eyes were erratic, he naturally felt Lu Zhaoyi's slightly trembling body, thinking that she was unwell, and whispered softly in her ear, asking if she was okay, so he asked the chamberlain to call the imperial doctor.

But she pretended to be casual and shook her head, not daring to look directly into Xia Pei's eyes, and stopped her in a loud voice, "Your Majesty, the minister is fine!"

Seeing this, he couldn't help but worry in his heart.

Lu Zhaoyi eased his mind, "Okay, that's the case, Xie Tingshi, let me ask you, if you are not in the territory of Yuzhou, you have a conflict with the people of the Liang Palace, have you ever reported it to the imperial court?"

Xie Dongfeng's face was pale, he gritted his teeth, and he couldn't wait to break Lu Zhaoyi's body into ten thousand pieces, but in the face of everyone's eyes, he had to swallow his saliva.

"Lu Niangzi, don't spew blood, Xie and King Liang have always been well water and do not interfere with river water, this time in Chaoge County, if it weren't for the people of Liang Wangfu, who were bullying and bullying, how could they have a conflict with him?"

"Xie Tingshi!"

Lu Zhaoyi interrupted him and asked in a cold voice: "I remember, the Xie family has been rooted in Han County for more than ten years, and it is more than two hundred miles away from Chaoge County, how did you run over, and you happened to run into the team of the Liang Wangfu to send the Su family back to the door, if you didn't get the news in advance, how could it be so coincidental?"

Xia Ran has been fighting all year round, and her strength is extremely high, but she is simple-minded and does not have so many twists and turns, but at this moment, when she brought it up, her face immediately pulled down, and she also realized that something was wrong.

How can there be such a coincidence in this world? All coincidences are the calculations of those who have a heart.

He stood up suddenly, his emotions intense, and pointed directly at Xie Dongfeng, "You say, who is the one who instructed you to deal with me!"

His reaction was obviously that Xie Dongfeng had done it, but his reaction didn't feel like it, because this answer quickly emerged.

And Xia Pei's expression was indifferent, not showing it at all, only looking at Xia Sheng silently.

Hanjun Xie Clan, if Xie Dongfeng was instructed to pull Xia Ran into a desperate situation, then the biggest suspicion was Xia Sheng.

"Third brother...... Xia Pei's eyebrows were cold, "You told me that you were really sure that you didn't go anywhere else on the way from Liangzhou, and came directly to Luojing?"

Xia Sheng, who had been silent, was stunned and shouted wronged, "Big brother, do you even suspect your younger brother? Coming from Liangzhou, those passes along the way, as well as the counties and post houses along the way, those records, although the eldest brother went to check, the younger brother had no conscience

I'm ashamed."

These words are high-sounding, but when everyone hears them, they don't feel that they have any credibility.

For he is not lying.

Xia Pei was noncommittal, looked at others again, and finally his gaze stayed on Lu Zhaoyi's body.

"Qi Niang, you are the chief of the Taiqu Pavilion, and the matters related to the clan are under your jurisdiction, and I will leave this matter to you."

Hearing this, Lu Zhaoyi couldn't help but smile bitterly, she wanted to shirk it, but Xia Pei gave her a look, so she had to bite the bullet and agree.

"The minister will live up to His Majesty's trust!"

Her tone was calm, but her heart was churning.

Perhaps, Xia Pei sealed her as the chief of the Taiqu Pavilion, in order to allow her to establish a certain voice in the clan before the official canonization, and lay the foundation for her to become the queen in the future.

But the first case she took over when she took over as the head of Taiqu Pavilion was such a tricky matter, which undoubtedly roasted her on the fire.

"I'm tired, so stand down!"

Xia Pei waved his sleeves and asked everyone to retreat first.

Xie Dongfeng was unwilling, but he also knew that he couldn't get any benefit from today's incident in the end, so he glared at Lu Zhaoyi and Su Xiuniang a few times, and walked away.

Seeing this, a gleam flashed in her eyes.

This time he left, I was afraid that he was going to find an opportunity and make a move.

Lu Zhaoyi naturally saw through his thoughts, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, but these were her own choices, no matter what the outcome was, she was to blame.

In the middle of the night, the palace gate was closed, there was silence outside, the palace people rested early, and only the changing Miyagi guards patrolled the palace.

Because it was late at night, Lu Zhaoyi and King Liang entered the West Pavilion Hall of the front hall to live temporarily overnight, and were arranged in the left and right side halls respectively.

The palace people were called to clean up overnight, and after some busy work, they finally arranged the side hall around the fourth watch, but they didn't dare to leave, and they needed to stay and wait.

Lu Zhaoyi sat on the edge of the couch, looking at several palace people with a confused look, she had never had to be waited on since she was a child, and now, these people had to serve in front of her, which was really uncomfortable.

"Go down! You don't need to serve here." She said lightly.

As soon as the words fell, several palace people immediately knelt down, so frightened that they lay on the ground and didn't dare to breathe.

One of the palace ladies was in a trance, raised his head and shouted, "Lu Niangzi, Your Majesty ordered the slaves and maids to wait for you, if you drive us away, the slaves and maids will not be able to explain to Your Majesty!"

Lu Zhaoyi sighed, "Then you go out and wait, right?" If you are needed, I will call you."

At this time, the palace people slowly swallowed their promises, left the side hall one by one, and closed the palace door.

The candle flame was blown out, and the hall was instantly pitch black.

Lu Zhaoyi's pillow was full of incense soft pillows, and the scene of Fang Cai seemed to appear in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel a little stunned.

She knew that today's matter would not end so simply, she was not a fool, she naturally knew that this matter must be inseparable from Xia Sheng's plan.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhaoyi couldn't help but be a little worried, her fate was tied to the Han Wangfu early, but even if she wanted to withdraw, it was not so simple.

She didn't want to explore this. Z.br>

In a daze, she only felt her head groggy and gradually fell asleep.

After some time, she suddenly woke up, only to hear a sound, and then the footsteps got closer and closer.

"Xia Yuanlong?"

She wanted to shout, but when she realized that she was in the palace, Xia Yuanlong might not necessarily follow her into the palace, and when she was in danger, she took it seriously, and there was no protection behind her, so she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

As the footsteps approached, she slowly pulled the dagger she had hidden from her inner lining.

This thing is the last layer of protection for her in times of crisis.

As the man approached, she slowly drew her dagger, preferably prepared for a desperate fight.

But what she didn't expect was that when the person was close to her eyes, she saw the other party's naughty face clearly, and instantly relaxed her vigilance and slowly

He took the dagger back again.

"Second princess, you almost scared me to death, why don't you sleep so late?"

The person who came was Su Xiuniang.

Her voice, with a thick nasal voice, seemed to cry and laugh, looking at her eyes, revealing a touch of complexity.

Su Xiuniang smiled, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and her smile was charming and enchanting.

She turned over and climbed onto the couch and lay down beside Lu Zhaoyi.

"I just put my husband to sleep, he has suffered too many grievances today, and I didn't wait until he slept deeply, I thought of you alone tonight, so I thought of coming over to accompany you."

She stretched out her arm, hugged Lu Zhaoyi, buried her head in her neck, and sniffed the fragrance between her hair, "You don't mind if I hold you, right?"

Lu Zhaoyi was a little unaccustomed, she subconsciously struggled, but thought that the other party would not do anything to her, so she held back.

"Huh?" Su Xiuniang was surprised, "The incense on this pillow has a sleep-promoting effect, right? Your Majesty specially arranged it for you, right?"

"Yes, huh?" Lu Zhaoyi's voice was a little hoarse, and she realized why she was able to fall asleep so quickly just now, it turned out to be this pillow.

"Hey! Qi Niang!"

After a moment of silence, Su Xiuniang asked softly, "You say, what do you think of this tonight?" How are you going to find out?"

For a long time, the position of Taiqu Pavilion has always been held by the clan.

Only the clan can govern the clan well, especially in the Great Yuan Dynasty, under the premise that the clan and the scholar clan are opposed, this position is definitely impossible to be in the hands of people outside the clan.

Lu Zhaoyi also thought that when he was appointed to this position, he could never turn back on this road to becoming the bride of the Xia family.

She shook her head lightly, "I didn't think about it that much, this matter involves King Han, and they are all clans, my identity ...... It's not easy to handle."

"No problem! My identity is a serious Xia bride, I will help you, if there is any accident at that time, even if it is pushed on me."

"You?" Lu Zhaoyi sneered, "Second princess, it's not that I can't believe you, you don't know what kind of secret is behind this, the court, the clan, the state and county, my intuition tells me that this matter will definitely be beyond our expectations."

Su Xiuniang pondered for a long time, and then patted her chest, "Our second child still has this ability? Can you cause such trouble?"

"It's not a curse!" Lu Zhaoyi's eyes were extremely determined, and he reached out and patted her chest, giving her a hint of comfort, "At least it's not the trouble caused by King Liang!" You believe me, I have an intuition that King Liang this time, maybe in the future, the historian who writes the Great Abyss will be a person with great merits!"

As soon as these words came out, Su Xiuniang muttered again and again in her heart, her heart was so empty, she really couldn't believe that Xia Ran was such a rough person, and she could still be famous in the annals of history?

"Qi Niang, what are you going to do next? See if I can help you?"

Lu Zhaoyi chuckled, "No, at least not at the moment!"
