The beauty is delicate and soft, and he madly criticizes the powerful officials for taking her as th

On August 23, the prince got married. Because the emperor was seriously ill, neither Nacai nor the concubine showed up.

Pei Zhi, on the other hand, was very considerate and did not wear the sword on his waist. He specially ordered someone to pass the news before going to the palace. He stood at the head of the courtiers watching the ceremony, with the corner of his mouth raised, as if he was quite pleased.

Seeing his appearance, Zhao Heng felt uneasy and his eyelids jumped.

After hearing that Princess Wei would not show up, the prince felt that everything was under King Wei's control, so he planned to put the plan on hold for the time being.

The palace people came in one by one holding fans and candles, and the ceremony officials arranged the millet, rice, beams, etc. according to their directions.

The ministers had no time to react, only to see the Taoist figure rushing in front of King Wei, and almost stabbed him in the heart with a dagger in his hand.

Zhao Heng's face was full of shock, where did the assassin come from?

The man in the prime minister's official uniform had a calm expression. He grabbed the assassin's wrist and twisted it with his backhand. After a crisp sound, the dagger fell to the ground.

"Delay it to trial." He raised his eyes and moved his gaze towards the prince. His tone seemed to be both comforting and provocative, "I'm fine."

Seeing that everyone around him was trembling and the ceremony officer was motionless, Pei Zhi's voice was gentle.

"There's no reason for me to delay the prince's wedding just because of me. Continue."

Weiwei and Tingwei had just left with the assassins, Jiuqing had left two others, and even Chen Xi had gone to capture the remaining assassins.

Zhao Heng's heart beat harder and harder, and sweat broke out on his forehead. The assassin looked like he didn't belong to him at all.

He couldn't help but look erratic. After Pei Shu noticed it, his expression froze for a moment, and then returned to his usual appearance.

After the viewing ceremony was over, Pei Zhi slowly walked out of the hall, and the torch in the hand of the Yulin Guards just opened a path for him in the thick night.

"My lord, the assassins have recruited everything. They are from the door of the noble families in Wu County. After hearing that after the transfer of Ji Tian Ling, the children of the Zhu family were supposed to take over, but the great Sinong regretted it temporarily and still recommended the children of the northern noble families." Chen Xi followed King Wei step by step, his voice low and gentle.

The prince and the southern nobles were a hundred times less courageous than King Wei thought. They hesitated and finally did not dare to take action.

Today's assassin was actually Dragon Slayer Guard in disguise.

Those confessions are also false.

Presumably tomorrow, those northern nobles who have been entrenched in Chang'an for a long time and are deeply entrenched will come forward and demand that the mastermind behind the assassin be severely punished.

Since it was a courtier who asked for orders, as the king of Wei, he always followed the rules.

Chen Xi lowered his head and said, "I found out that he has an accomplice who is a eunuch in the East Palace. He was previously a musician in the third prince's palace."

He was said to be a musician, but he was actually a knight-errant. Because he was good at playing funeral music, he was invited by Zhao Heng to become a guest in the mansion.

Pei Zhi chuckled, this man was loyal, and in order to repay Zhao Heng, he was willing to enter the palace and become an eunuch.

"There's no need to search anymore, catching this one is enough."

He paused and said with a cold expression, "Boyang, do you think I will be merciless when I let the Chen family handle this matter?"

"I only obey the Lord." Chen Xi's voice was firm. "The Chen family is only loyal to the King of Wei. I don't know what the Zhao family is."

"It's just a casual question, why are you so nervous." Pei Zhi's face returned to gentleness, "These days, if the Crown Princess wants to go somewhere, Boyang doesn't have to stop her."

There were red candles in the tent, the lights were on and off, and across the bead curtain and jade curtain, both Pei Shu and Zhao Heng were silent.

The man in red said cautiously: "Xiao Shu, did I make you unhappy somewhere?"

He opened the bead curtain, sat next to the girl, and pushed away the annoying round fan.

"The King of Wei sent someone to warn me before, not allowing me to meet you, and then I chose the concubine... That was the intention of the mother-in-law and the King of Wei." The man with a handsome face stretched out his hand and held the sleeve of the person beside him, "Little Shu wasn't very happy before, why is she so cold tonight?"

"Is the assassin sent by you today?" Pei Shu made no secret of her inner doubts. "When you looked at my eldest brother today, why were your eyes so erratic and evasive?"

Zhao Heng's face paled by three points, and he looked at her seriously with lowered eyes, "Xiao Shu, how could I kill King Wei."

"You know that I have only wanted to be a wealthy and idle person since I was a child. If something happens to King Wei, I, as the prince, will not be able to suppress the fierce ministers of the court." His voice was trembling, and he seemed a bit cowardly. "I have never learned the imperial arts since I was a child. Some things are just I can rely on King Wei."

Pei Shu looked at him for a moment, but she didn't realize there was anything wrong with what he said, and her suspicions were lessened.

He suddenly smiled and said: "Xiao Shu, don't be unhappy. How about I play you a piece of music? It was your favorite song when you were a child."

Pei Shu quickly said: "No, no, no."

Zhao Heng's music was so unpleasant that she had to endure the torment of her conscience and praise it every time.

Pei Shu breathed a sigh of relief and felt that Zhao Heng was still the same as before, unchanged.

At noon the next day, the prince sent a message to Pei Shu, saying that he had something to do today and would not have lunch together.

Pei Shu was wondering and planned to see what he had to do.

However, the attendant brought by the princess's palace came in and whispered: "Princess, Chen Xi captured the assassin's accomplices in the East Palace last night."

Pei Shu paused with the chopsticks in her hands, calmly asked the other palace people to step back, and asked, "How many people are there?"

"There is only one person who was a guest of the third prince's house."

"If you found out anything yesterday, tell me."

Pei Shu put down her chopsticks, listened quietly, nodded and said, "You can go out."

As soon as the attendant left, she stared at the food in front of her and was filled with anger. She thought she should restrain her temper when she first entered the palace, but she couldn't help it.

The celadon bowl was shattered on the floor, and the soup was spilled on the floor tiles, making a mess.

She rushed to the palace where the prince usually served as director. Zhao Heng was directing a group of musicians to play and sing. It was not mourning music, but Pei Shu's favorite music.

A man in the prince's uniform was sitting next to him, holding a knife and doing something unknown. When he got closer, he realized it was a wooden sign.

He was obviously not very good at this kind of work. His fingers were pricked with wooden thorns and there were little blood stains.

"Xiao Shu is here?"

"Is this what you said is wrong?" Pei Shu looked around.

"Isn't this a surprise for you? The peace charm I gave you last time yesterday is old." Zhao Heng looked extremely gentle, "But I didn't sleep well last night, why are my eyes red?"

Pei Shu forced out a smile and said, "It's nothing, I just miss the cook in the princess's palace. The food cooked by the royal chef is not to my liking, and I lost my temper at noon. I think Empress Zhaoyi will talk about me again."

"I will go with you to see my mother-in-law from now on. She won't say anything."

"Yes." Pei Shu responded, her tone was a little frightened, and her tears came at the drop of a hat, "I heard that yesterday's assassin had an accomplice who was formerly from Donggong Le. Those southern nobles hate my eldest brother, Brother Aheng, so much. They don't You might want to kill me."

"How is that possible?" Zhao Heng laughed and reassured: "You are you, and the King of Wei is the King of Wei. Besides, Chen Xi turned the East Palace upside down yesterday, what else can happen to him?"

Zhao Heng moved his fingers slightly. Chen Xi took away the one with the highest martial arts skills and did not search out the remaining ones. Now they were beating drums and playing the sheng under Pei Shu's nose.
