Chapter 035: Eye to eye

Thinking of this, the emperor immediately gave a death order to several guards around him who knew the inside story, and sent someone to investigate secretly, so as not to make a noise.

His cold gaze turned to Xiao Jingyi again, and when the latter saw the emperor looking at him, his body trembled, "Emperor, the emperor ......"

But before she could speak, she saw the emperor come forward and hugged her, "Aifei, I won't embarrass you, I just want to ask clearly, the assassin escaped just now, but it has something to do with you?" ”

The person in front of him has been warm for countless days and nights, and the warm words of the past are wrapped around his ears like love words, but Xiao Jingyi feels that the words spoken by the emperor in front of him at this moment are so harsh.

Xiao Jingyi raised her eyes, a pair of eyes stared at the emperor tightly, there seemed to be tears flickering under her eyes, her originally ruddy face became pale at this moment, her vermilion lips snorted, and she said those two words in a delicate voice:

"The Emperor's ......"

"Alas......" Although the emperor is a hundred unwilling in his heart, he has to ask for clarification at this moment.

Who doesn't know who doesn't know, the most favored concubine of the saint today is Xiao Guifei, and the queen is just a furnishing who manages the harem, and the relationship with the emperor is respectful, not like a married couple at all.

The Xiao Jingyi in front of him was his love, but he didn't want to, nor did he want to believe that his concubine would have an affair with an assassin.

No matter what she had done to save her life, he couldn't accept it.

Seeing the emperor's resolute gaze, Xiao Jingyi felt that her heart was cold inch by inch, and the taste of being suspicious was very uncomfortable.

Xiao Jingyi thought for a moment, knelt on the ground hurriedly, and replied: "Your Majesty, when the concubine saw the assassin assassinating, she immediately hid in the cabinet, and it seemed that she heard the sound of the emperor sending someone to arrive, so the assassin fled in a hurry, and stole the jade bracelet that the emperor gave to the concubine......"

The emperor was still suspicious, but it can be seen that Xiao Jingyi is fully dressed, and there is indeed no jewelry in front of the dressing mirror, and he has already believed most of it, "That's good, Concubine Ai, I frightened you today." ”

The face of the person next to the pillow changed too fast, Xiao Jingyi saw this, the corners of her mouth hooked up a sneer, and the cold in her eyes was fleeting, but she still said with a smile: "The emperor said that he was laughing, but the jade bracelet that the emperor gave to his concubine ......"

Xiao Jingyi hurriedly changed into a touch of sobbing and ripples, took out a handkerchief and wiped her cheeks lightly, and did not say a word about the assassin stealing her rouge and touching her face.

"Your Majesty, please also capture the thief for your concubine and ...... the jade bracelet Get it back! ”

The emperor saw that Xiao Jingyi's eyes were slightly red, and the anger in his heart had long since disappeared, replaced by a touch of pity and guilt.

She has been with her for so many years, how could she betray herself?

The emperor felt that he was suspicious, but the face of the Son of Heaven could never be violated, and he was very satisfied when he saw Xiao Jingyi so precious that he gave something.

He turned to the guards beside him and said, "You two, go and find the jade bracelet that Xiao Guifei lost, and by the way, secretly instruct the Jinyi guards to investigate who dared to break into the harem at night!" ”

"Yes!" Two guards knelt down to receive orders.

After a few people left, the emperor hugged Xiao Jingyi, instructed a few maids to clean up the palace, and rested in the palace of the concubine.

Xiao Jingyi didn't have any thoughts at the moment, the emperor hugged herself and slowly approached her, and for a moment, she actually remembered the assassin with the sharp blade.

It's insane!

Xiao Jingyi shook her head.

Above the palace, Wei Ran felt the sound of footsteps behind him, and immediately dodged and hid in the dark.

Just now, the assassin who assassinated the concubine was Wei Ran.

He hurriedly took out the "rouge" he got from Xiao Jingyi from his sleeve, opened it layer by layer and examined it carefully.

There was a smell of fat powder lingering on the tip of his nose, Wei Ran was not an expert, thinking of the things He Xiaoxiao asked her to obtain, he decided to go to the black market again tonight.

According to the clues, the Praetorian Guards, who were tracking down the assassins, surrounded the entrance of the palace one after another, carefully investigating little by little.

Wei Ran knew that these people would not give up when they received orders from the emperor, and he was ready to squat here all night.

But those Praetorian Guards looked for a stick of incense, and they actually walked in one direction, and the place they walked seemed to be the resting place of the Praetorian Guards.

Wei Ran pondered for a moment, it stands to reason that the emperor gave a death order, they shouldn't easily let go of the best opportunity to arrest him, and now they left without even searching in the dark?

Wei Ran couldn't believe it, but he gradually understood something.

That is, the Great Chu State is now, and the gold is outside, and it is defeated.

Although the national strength is at its peak, in some aspects of employing people, the emperor who has passed the age of establishment has long been not as good as before, which has led to some villains entering the Praetorian Guard, making the military orders no longer so strict.

Wei Ran sighed, this is not his business.

What he has to do now is to complete the tasks given to him by He Xiaoxiao one by one.

Thinking of this, Wei Ran used light skills, his figure flashed, and his figure immediately disappeared in the night.

The clouds covered the moon shadow, the moonlight was scattered, it was late at night at the moment, and when Wei Ran rushed to the black market again, he found that it was very different from the last time he saw it.

If the last time the black market brought him a sense of mystery, then what he saw with his own eyes this time gave him the feeling of being as bustling as Kyoto.

The secret guard guarding in the dark saw Wei Ran coming, and quickly flashed out.

"Ran Gongzi, we respect the main things, can you bring them?"

Wei Ran's eyes sank, his dark eyes seemed to have a light like stars, and he replied: "I brought it, but I only brought one thing, and the authenticity of that thing, I want to let your lord identify it first." ”

The dark guard's voice was cold, and he looked at Wei Ran's gaze as if he was unfocused, "Our Lord is currently in retreat and cultivating, if I let you go, I'm afraid it will be inappropriate." ”

Wei Ran pondered for a moment, thought for a moment, and raised his hand to compose, "Then Ran will visit the Venerable Lord next time." ”

"How offended." The two secret guards spoke in unison, and their black robes fell to the ground with the movement of kneeling down on one knee, "The next time Ran Gongzi comes, the little ones will bring the words." ”

The two Dark Guards are talkative. Wei Ran knew that He Xiaoxiao might really be practicing in retreat, and he used light skills, and the black figure was hidden in the dark, and the trace disappeared.

After making sure that Wei Ran was leaving, the two dark guards glanced at each other, and a look of affirmation appeared in their eyes.

He Xiaoxiao was wearing a red dress, her three thousand ink hair moved with the wind, a touch of cinnabar at the center of her eyebrows, her red lips and her almost demonic face were even more charming.

Her voice was fierce, and her eyes were as seductive and soul-stirring as a thousand-year-old fox demon, "Did he take out the things?" ”

The two secret guards on the ground trembled, but they still spoke in unison, "Venerable Qiqi, he doesn't seem to believe the little ones, and he has already told him to let him come to see you next time." ”

"Oh, that's fine." He Xiaoxiao raised her eyes and carefully looked at the secret guard kneeling on the ground, and her tone was frivolous.

"In that case, then the two of you will spread the news of my retreat and cultivation, so that all the people in the world who know about the existence of the black market will think that the Buddha-figure is really cultivating, so that they can come to me for trouble in the black market."

"Yes! The little one understands! ”

He Xiaoxiao turned to leave, a hint of fierceness flashed in her eyes.

Why did she really want to make the excuses that the two of them made for her, not only because now was not the time to see Wei Ran.

Also, she wants to make those who covet the black market understand that she is the lord of the black market, He Xiaoxiao, is not a soft persimmon!

Kill those who bully the black market!

He Xiaoxiao knew that things would not be so simple, so this time she planned to deploy her plan in person.

The moonlight slanted down and shone through the screen window into the exquisitely furnished room.

In front of He Xiaoxiao's red clothes, on the left chest, there is a piece of hardware that seems to be glued to the fabric.

Up close, it looks like a copper coin.

There is also a silver dragon carved on it, if you look closely, you will find that this copper coin is exactly the same as the copper coin that Mo Wuxing gave to Xie Mian that day!

These are things that Wei Ran didn't know, and at this moment, he had already returned to Xie Mansion through light work.

The first thing you do when you enter the house is to put the handkerchief away.

The second thing to do when entering the house is to climb the wall.

As for whose wall he climbed, Wei Ran smiled slyly, naturally he climbed the red wall of the eldest lady.

Xie Mian had been working for a day, and she had a sore back, so after telling Agarwood to help her boil water and bathe, she lay down on the bed early and rested.

Seeing this, Wei Ran naturally didn't bother her anymore, but when he dodged and was about to leave Xie Mian's courtyard, he noticed that something was wrong.

For not far in front of him stood a man with a slender figure and a handsome face, and a high hat.

Holding a broom in his hand as white as a green onion and jade, a pair of eyes full of clear waves swept over him like an autumn wind sweeping away leaves, Wei Ran couldn't help frowning, he saw contempt and disdain in the man's eyes.

There's even a hint of playfulness.

Wei Ran flashed over, wanting to find out, but he didn't want the man who was still in place just now to disappear.

Wei Ran was stunned for a moment, only to feel a touch of warmth climbing onto his shoulder, turned around and looked, and found a wrinkled old face appearing in front of him.

Wei Ran frowned.

Just when he was about to ask, he didn't want the person in front of him to open his mouth first,

"Who are you? Why trespass where a woman lives? But...... Want to do something wrong? ”

With three question marks in a row, Di Bai really couldn't figure it out, how could such a handsome teenager climb the corner of a woman's wall?

Even if you climb the corner, you have to climb the corner of Xie Mian. Di Bai sighed, he didn't want to take care of it, but now he had to take care of it.

Wei Ran didn't speak, just looked at Di Bai's face, looked at it for a long time, and didn't find that he had the appearance of being handsome just now.

Seeing the old man ask him again, Wei Ran felt that the answer was nothing, so he said, "I am the adopted son of Xie Mansion, Wei Ran." ”

Di Bai frowned, Wei Ran? This name is a little familiar, but why didn't I hear Miss Xie mention it today?

Because he wanted to enter the mansion, Xie Mian told the people in the mansion, how many young ladies, how many sons, and who their surnames were.

He even ordered all these things to be copied on paper for Di Bai to remember.

It's just to deal with the unexpected.
