In Lord Qian's study, father and daughter looked at each other.

Qian Xun leaned on the back of the circle chair, put his hands on his lap, looked at his daughter in front of him, and sighed deeply: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really said that?" ”

Qian Rousheng smiled at the corner of her lips, and there was joy in her eyes: "Seriously." ”

She ran over and grabbed Lord Qian's sleeve: "Dad, if my daughter marries the prince, she will be the imperial concubine in the future, and maybe she can be the queen, and her father will be the emperor's relative and the country's father." Where do you still need to see Wu Anhou's face? ”

"Shut up." Qian Xun scolded his daughter softly, but he was also moved, "Don't talk nonsense." ”

"Dad, isn't it better for us to rely on the crown prince than to rely on Wu Anhou?" Qian Rousheng put her face on her father's palm, "Dad, you love me the most." I like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”

Lord Qian touched her daughter's head, and her heart was soft. He was thinking about the crown prince and Wu Anhou, which was an either/or choice.

"You go out first and let Dad think about it."

Qian Rousheng nodded and stood up. She took two steps, then turned around and said, "Dad, I really want to marry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." ”

She walked out of the room and passed through the corridor, where someone behind her called her: "Sister Rousheng! ”

Qian Rousheng turned around, and it was Lu Jingran who ran over. She was wearing a goose yellow spring shirt and looked pretty and bright. She frowned subconsciously and glanced at the raven-colored dress on her body.

She thought to herself, what's the use of being coquettish? It only matters if His Highness likes it. Thinking about it, she straightened her back, a little proud.

Lu Jingran ran to her, looked at her with a smile and asked, "Why is Sister Rousheng dressed like an old woman today?" Shizuran almost didn't recognize it. ”

Qian Rousheng gritted her teeth, barely maintaining the gentleness of everyone's ladies before she had a seizure. She said, "Your Highness likes it. ”

Lu Jingran put away her smile and showed an innocent and lovely look: "My sister is so close to His Highness? ”

"That's unspeakable." Qian Rousheng smiled and whispered in her ear, "It's just that Xu is closer than my sister." ”

She is so arrogant and showing off, how could Lu Jingran not hear it. She completely lost her smile, put away all her emotions, and exposed the most primitive jealousy: "What my sister said was as if she was going to enter the East Palace." ”

"My sister is right, Your Highness has this intention." With that, she walked away triumphantly.

Lu Jingran frowned and looked at her slender back, and turned her head to find her father.

Lu Bing raised his head from the case in shock and asked, "What you said is true?" ”

Lu Jingran stomped her feet: "Of course it is, Qian Rousheng said it himself." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants her to enter the East Palace! ”

Lu Bing's slender eyes narrowed. He touched his chin and whispered, "The Qian family is going to fall to the prince." ”

"Daddy! I don't want to be able to beat Qian Rousheng! ”

He looked at his daughter and smiled: "Good girl, you go back first, let Dad think about this matter." ”

Lu Jingran pouted and frowned, but seeing that Lu Bing was absent-minded, he turned his head and left.

Lu Bing thought about it and hurriedly wrote to Wu Anhou.

In the past two days, Qian Rousheng ran to the prince's courtyard all day long, fuqin and poetry. The prince took it all according to the order, like a gentleman. Lu Jingran watched from the side, her eyes red with anger.

That night, the moonlight was just right, and Lord Qian held a banquet with a variety of delicacies. Just as the guests were enjoying their drinks, an Assassin suddenly attacked.

Qian Rousheng and Lu Jingran screamed and hid in the corner, and Master Lu also hid silently.

Hu Sanhai and Fang Jingliang drew their swords to meet them, the prince sat still and did not move, and Lord Qian was chased and frightened. Hu Sanhai and Fang Jingliang glanced at each other, and Sanhai went to protect Lord Qian.

The prince poured wine, ignoring the chaos in front of him. An assassin crossed Fang Jingliang and stabbed straight at him, Fang Jingliang's entangled doppelganger lacked skills, and it was too late to turn around and save him.

The sword was sharp, and Qian Rousheng and Lu Jingran screamed in fright.

The prince did not move, and took a sip of wine. Before he could make a move, a sword appeared from behind him and picked away the assassin's sword. The figure that suddenly appeared in the room was wearing a black robe, slender and tall, with a green ghost mask on his face, which was terrifying.

Her sword was as fast as light and shadow, dazzling. She was in front of the prince, not leaving half a step.

The prince looked at her back, his gaze becoming more and more gentle. The wind in the early summer night was scented with flowers, and he could still smell the faint sandalwood on her body.

All the Assassins were exterminated. In the blink of an eye, the figure disappeared like a ghost.

The prince put away his warmth and looked at Hu Sanhai indifferently. Hu Sanhai lowered his body to examine the Assassin and found a complex totem on the Assassin's right arm.

"Your Highness, this gang is the same gang as the previous assassins."

The prince raised his eyebrows, and he turned his head to look at Qian Xun, who was in a state of despair. Apparently he also saw the totem, his eyes were red and his lips trembled.

"Lord Qian knows this totem?"

"No, I don't know."

The prince nodded, and said: "Seeing that they attacked Lord Qian and made a fatal move, Lone still thought that they had some deep hatred with Lord Qian." ”

Qian Xun shook his body and sat down on the ground.

Wu Anhou is tall and mighty, with a square face and broad eyebrows. but for these two days his face was haggard. Yi'anhou's eldest son died unexpectedly, but he didn't know how to target himself, Qian Xun was going to defect to the prince, he was afraid that he would become a voter.

"Master Hou, someone from the Hou Mansion of Yi'an is here."

"What the hell is this old thing going to do!" Wu Anhou frowned, and watched angrily as the person came through the door.

It was the housekeeper of the Yi'an Hou Mansion who came, and Wu Anhou knew him. He entered the door and bowed: "Meet Wu Anhou." ”

"What are you doing here?"

"My master has already written a letter to the Hou Ye, and the person who killed the eldest prince has also been caught. There are all human and material evidence, and the Hou Ye instructed someone to kill my son-in-law, and the contemptible person is here to ask for an explanation today. ”

"What did Ben Hou do to make him a yellow-mouthed child!"

The housekeeper smiled: "The master only asked the slave to bring a message to the Hou Ye, and the master knows what the Hou Ye has done over the years." The revenge of the eldest prince will definitely be avenged. ”

After saying that, he turned around and walked away, and Wu Anhou angrily threw the cup!

"He Sheng, go to Benhou to find out, how did Liu Ting die!"

The housekeeper He Sheng bowed: "Yes." ”

He hurried out, and Wu Anhou stopped him again: "Has Qian Xun been killed?" ”

He Sheng turned around: "None of the killers sent out yesterday survived. Lord Lu Bing wrote that a masked man in black appeared last night and protected His Royal Highness the Prince, and the prince's personal servant Hu Neiguan protected Qian Xun. ”

"Send people again, send more people, at all costs, you must kill Qian Xun for me first!"

There were assassins in the blue sky and daylight, which really scared Qian Xun.

The Prince's guards fought the Assassins, and he crawled over and grabbed the Prince's legs.

The prince sat under the porch, sheltering from the sun, and drank tea leisurely in the shade. He stared at the fight in the courtyard as if it were an elegant picture.

Qian Xun cried profusely, which disgusted the prince.

"Your Highness save me, Your Highness save me! They're here to kill me! ”

Hu Sanhai stood behind the prince and asked for him: "Who did Master Qian provoke, do you have to kill you?" ”

Qian Xun raised his head suddenly. When he saw the prince's staring eyes, he trembled, took two steps back in a panic, and kowtowed frequently: "Your Highness, it's Marquis Wu'an!" He betrayed his official position, disregarded people's lives, and bent the law for bribes! ”

"Lord Qian, the Marquis of Wu'an is the pillar of the country, is there any evidence for such a severe accusation?"

Qian Xun hesitated for a moment and shook his head in a panic.

The prince raised his eyebrows. Hu Sanhai took two steps forward, reached out, grabbed the collar of Qian Xun's neck, and easily lifted his fat body.

He took two steps into the courtyard, flicked his long arm, and Qian Xun sat on the ground with a butt in front of him, and behind him were the retreating guards.

Qian Xun's eyes widened in horror, and the whites of his eyes were bloodshot. He was sweating profusely, and his head was buzzing. Seeing the sword attacking, he suddenly shouted, "I have proof!" ”

He almost passed out. Someone in front of him blocked the blade for him. The prince's personal guards defended him. Qian Xun's heart almost jumped out of his mouth.

He looked up blankly and saw a black-clad figure with a terrifying mask. The man's gaze glanced down at him, cold as snow.

Hu Sanhai brought him back. He knelt at the prince's feet, almost lying on his stomach, and looked around at the fact that the Assassins in the courtyard had almost been wiped out. The man in black disappeared again.

"Lord Qian." Hu Sanhai had a common smile on his face, and there was also a hidden smile in his voice.

"Hey." Qian Xun answered, wiped the sweat from his face, and said to the prince, "Your Highness, the minister has evidence, and I ask Your Highness to protect the life of the minister's family." If the little girl enters the East Palace in the future......"

"Lord Qian." Hu Sanhai interrupted him, he hated this minion a little, but saw that the prince closed his eyes and acquiesced to his transgression. Hu Sanhai didn't care what he was thinking, he said a little sneeringly: "The crown princess of the East Palace is undecided, how can His Royal Highness take a concubine?" ”

Qian Xun looked at the prince in surprise. His sanity gradually returned.

Concubine? It's not even a side concubine. The crown prince did not want to marry his daughter at all.

This realization made Qian Xun angry.

He betrayed the Marquis of Wu'an and took refuge with the prince to attract such a murderous disaster, but the prince was playing him?

He was silent, and he did not intend to show evidence that he had not produced.

The prince opened his eyes and smiled softly at the sight of his angry gaze.

Before Qian Xun could see it clearly, he saw the prince leaning over, and somehow a dagger appeared in his hand, which was already across his neck.

"Your Highness spares your life."

"Qian Xun, if you take out the evidence, you can still save the lives of your Qian Mansion. Otherwise, Lone will sell it to Wu'anhou. Do you think you, the betrayer, can still trust you as much as he used to? ”

Qian Xun thought of Wu Anhou's face. Almost immediately, it was certain that he wouldn't. Even if he turned back to Cheng, Wu Anhou would kill him.

There is no other way to go. His youngest son was only ten years old, and he didn't want the whole family to bury him.

The Marquis of Yi'an and the Marquis of Wu'an fought against each other, and they both left the Marquis to watch from the wall, and the prince benefited from it.

A total of 137 officials and officials promoted by Wu Anhou and his promotion were implicated in the corruption case in the eastern border, 67 homes were raided, and more than 70 million taels of silver and more than 730 boxes of gold were obtained.

Marquis Wu Anhou was sentenced to beheading, the three clans were exiled, and the nine clans were not allowed to be officials. Yi'an Hou died soon due to serious illness, and he had no children under his knees, and succeeded the children of the side branch.

Marquis Wu An'an led his troops to resist stubbornly, and was rebelled, and the prince personally beheaded him.

The only one who escaped from this storm was the Duliu Hou of Yuzhou. He had a secret conversation with the prince for a day, and then stood by.

In just over two months, the situation in the east has changed dramatically.
