A secret courtyard outside the city of Wei'an, the courtyard is called Grace Garden, the Grace Garden is simple and elegant, the environment is quiet, the tall and strong hundred-year-old pine blocks the sunset, sprinkling a large shade for this courtyard, the autumn breeze blows, and the chill gradually rises.

Li Shijie sat alone in front of the stone table in the courtyard, wiping the cold blade with great interest.

The secret guards came like the wind, and Li Shijie didn't even raise his eyelids, but only asked lightly, "How?"

"Everything went well, the emperor just left the Prime Minister's Mansion, and his face was very ugly." ”

It turned out that Li Shijie took advantage of the opportunity of Hongyuan Villa's cooperation with Zhou Yixuan of Lingye Palace, and used the hand of Lingye Palace to give the Prime Minister's Mansion a problem, and dispatched several nobodies from Lingye Palace to come to the door to test it three times and five times. In the eyes of outsiders, it is that there are anti-party activities in the Lingye Palace around the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Prime Minister Wan Ziyu has suspicious deeds.

The Prime Minister's Mansion itself is difficult to protect, and the status of the queen and the crown prince is in jeopardy. Li Shijie frowned, since he couldn't stop Li Muyang's actions, it was better to go forward and protect the safety of dozens of people in Hongyuan Villa.

So it was worth giving up the money. Li Shijie sighed slightly and put his sword back into its sheath.

After pondering for a while, he asked tentatively, "Young Owner, what should we do next......?"

"You don't have to worry about the following things, just leave it to us. A cold voice came from behind him, and the man in black in the mask flashed out, the cold wind of the Dharma Protector of the Night Palace.

Han Feng's face was cold, but there was an unpredictable smile on the corner of his mouth, "I heard that the young owner of Hongyuan Villa is entangled and emotional, and now that I have seen your methods with my own eyes, I don't feel that it is as rumored, at least, it is a little better than our wavering cold rain protector." ”

Li Shijie held the hilt of his sword, "The Dharma Protector is here, it's not just to chat with Zaixia, right?"

"Don't dare. Han Feng put away his smiling face and turned directly to the topic, "Although you don't have to worry about the next thing, the premise is that you have to do a favor." ”

"Oh?" Li Shijie's eyelids raised slightly, "What's the hurry?"

"Assassination list. The cold wind said faintly, "The prime minister has worked all his life for the country and the people, and he must have made many opponents." We should help him out. ”

Li Shijie's eyes suddenly constricted, stared at the cold wind for a long time, and said coldly, "You are really a demon. ”

Hanfeng was not angry, but smiled indifferently and said word by word, "We, each other." ”

Two days later, Wei'an City set off a faint bloody atmosphere, all corners, bustling streets, street corners and alleys, there were deaths, the murderer's methods were cruel, obviously the killer of the Lingye Palace did it, the identity of the deceased was different, the big officials and dignitaries, the small people in the market, the only thing in common is that they all have big or small contradictions with the Prime Minister's Mansion.

All of a sudden, rumors were rampant in the government and the opposition, saying that Prime Minister Wan Ziyu was known as assisting the crown prince to ascend the throne smoothly, and instructed the killer to clean up possible obstacles.

The palace walls are deep, blocking the bustling scenery of Wei'an City far behind......

The emperor's dormitory Yuhua Palace, golden and brilliant, tall and solemn, above the ten-level white marble steps, the queen Wan Xintong has been on the ink-colored jade ground, kneeling for a whole hour, her body is still stable, and she is dignified.

The palace maids and eunuchs who passed by, after curtsying slightly, did not dare to stay longer, and left in a hurry.

He Sheng, the chief eunuch, held a newly replaced Biluochun, carefully placed it on the table where Zhu Xingzhan was handling official documents, and after serving tea, He Sheng had no intention of leaving.

Zhu Xingzhan frowned, and continued to sketch on the fold, and after a while, he saw that He Sheng was still standing in front of him, and there was a trace of gloom between his eyebrows, "Is there anything else?"

He Sheng looked outside uneasily, and opened his mouth with a little hesitation, "Your Majesty, the queen mother has been kneeling outside for an hour, and the weather is getting colder, do you want to ......?"

A piece of music slammed on the table, and He Sheng hurriedly knelt down, "Slave damn it!"

Zhu Xingzhan was expressionless, "What can the queen say?"

He Sheng shook his head, "Back to Your Majesty, the queen has not mentioned a word since she came to the present, she has been kneeling all the time, not eating or drinking, and no one pays attention to her." The slave went to persuade her, but ......"

"Confused!" Zhu Xingzhan slapped his palm on the table hard, and the teacup trembled, making a crisp sound, "The queen has always been smart, how can she be like this in this matter..."Zhu Xingzhan was so angry that his beard fluttered, "Do you have to embarrass me?!"

He Sheng was startled, and packed up the pieces with his bare hands, "Your Majesty is angry, take care of the dragon body." ”

The matter has come to this point, He Sheng didn't dare to persuade more, Zhu Xingzhan frowned, and sighed heavily, "You go and tell the queen, and when I finish dealing with the folds, I will go to Weining Palace to see her." ”

"Yes, slave and maid obey. He Sheng hurriedly cleaned up the debris all over the ground and quietly retreated.

An hour later, Weining Palace. The sunset burned half of the sky, red like a fire.

Wan Xintong took off all the jewelry such as the phoenix hairpin, dressed in plain clothes, and knelt in front of Zhu Xingzhan calmly with a face, not Zhu Xingzhan asked her to kneel, but she herself wanted to embarrass herself, Zhu Xingzhan frowned, he didn't know when the queen who was gentle and dignified in the past became so stubborn.

Zhu Xingzhan took a sip of the teacup, then put it down again, "What does the queen mean by this?"

Wan Xintong exhaled deeply, "The concubine is guilty. ”

Zhu Xingzhan raised his eyebrows and looked at Wan Xintong with scrutinizing eyes, "What is the crime?"

Wan Xintong said calmly, "The concubine failed to persuade her father in time to avoid the edge for the time being. ”

spoke loudly, a simple sentence, which really showed that Wan Ziyu was a traitor and villain, and Zhu Xingzhan was also puzzled about this, even if Wan Ziyu wanted to do it, he would not do it so obviously.

But helplessly, rumors spread inside and outside the government, in order to temporarily calm down, Zhu Xingzhan only sent additional soldiers to guard the Prime Minister's Mansion tightly, which was called protection but was actually surveillance, but Zhu Xingzhan did not restrict the personal freedom of the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles. After all, these things still reached Weining Palace.

Zhu Xingzhan frowned, stared straight at Wan Xintong, and threw out a cold sentence, "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and the queen, as the head of the six palaces, should know better than anyone else!"

"Yu Gong, my father is the prime minister of a country, Yu Private, he is also the father of the concubine, and the concubine can't watch his father being criticized for no reason and sit idly by......"

Wan Xintong's voice was extremely calm, without even the slightest emotional fluctuation.

"The queen is confused!" Zhu Xingzhan slapped the table heavily, and the scolding echoed in the hall, and the palace maids and attendants who were waiting not far away were so frightened that they knelt down, their bodies trembled slightly, and they didn't dare to take a breath.

Wan Xintong raised his head and met Zhu Xingzhan's eyes, all he saw was coldness and anger. She exhaled tiredly, "What Your Majesty said is that it is the concubine who is confused, and the concubine should be considerate of Your Majesty's difficulties. ”

Zhu Xingzhan rubbed his frowning brows, no longer paid attention to Wan Xintong's specious words, nor did he look at Wan Xintong, and waved his hand to summon the two palace maids Cui Zhen and Cui Zhu who served the queen closely, "The queen's phoenix body is not safe, you must take care of it carefully, don't let the queen go out to blow the wind and get cold, if you go out on a business trip, you don't have to stay." ”

Cui Zhen and Cui Zhu gasped, shuddered, and knelt on the ground to receive the order, "The slave obeys His Majesty's will." ”

Zhu Xingzhan stood up and turned his back to Wan Xintong, "The queen is so resting!

After that, Zhu Xingzhan left without looking back, Wan Xintong quietly wept, kowtowed deeply to Zhu Xingzhan's back, Cuizhen and Cuizhu hurriedly went over to help, "Niangniang..."

Wan Xintong stood up with the support of the two, maybe he knelt for too long and suffered a cold, or maybe his body was already uncomfortable, and at the moment when he stood up straight, he suddenly felt dizzy, and his body couldn't help shaking.

The two of them turned pale with fright, "Niangniang!"
