The assassin's princess is actually my aunt

Zhou Gaoyang's mind was full of thoughts, but his face showed a serious and thoughtful look.

It seemed that he had really considered it from beginning to end, and Zhou Gaoyang said rigorously:

"I think that Prince Sheng's reasoning is reasonable."

Zhou Gaoyang only said that it was Prince Sheng's inference, and even if there was a one in ten thousand possibility, it was not the case.

It could also mean that Prince Sheng was deceived and made a mistake in reasoning, rather than any other possibility.

"Oh? Tell me!"

Emperor Qianyao's tone was obviously not as oppressive as it was at the beginning.

Zhou Gaoyang felt relieved and expressed his thoughts.

"Your Majesty, what I am thinking is that since the person who assassinated Princess Zhuxing and killed the entire family of Lord Wei's mansion.

They are in the same group as the people who assassinated Mr. Su Xu in Yingsong Tower.

Then these people are most likely from Guyue Country.

The first reason is that the killer who died in Yingsong Tower did have a crescent-shaped mark on his wrist.

I believe that this might be the symbol of a certain organization in Guyue Country.

This second reason is also the most important.”

Zhou Gaoyang looked at Emperor Qianyao and still had some doubts, so he continued to explain:

"I wonder if Your Majesty still remembers what happened eighteen years ago when the Emperor of Guyue Kingdom ascended the throne."

When Emperor Gu Yue first ascended the throne, he found Mr. Su Xu, who had retired from the world and no longer cared about state affairs.

He was invited to the imperial capital of Guyue Kingdom with a large sum of money to tell fortunes for his queen.

However, he was sternly rejected by Mr. Su Xu, although no one knew why in the end.

Mr. Su Xu made another exception and went to the imperial capital of Guyue Kingdom.

However, he calculated that his queen was doomed to an evil star that would bring disaster to the world, and her end was approaching.

Unfortunately, not long after that, something happened to the Queen of Guyue Kingdom. Even though Emperor Guyue tried every trick in the book, he could only delay the incident for less than a year.

The Queen of Guyue Kingdom passed away. The Emperor of Guyue was furious and took his anger out on innocent people.

He brutally killed innocent people, including the imperial physician who treated Queen Wei, the palace maids who took care of the Queen, and even the concubines who had displeased the Queen.

Countless people were killed or injured, and dozens of them were executed along with their entire clan.

The people were in a panic and their lives were in misery.

The ministers in Guyue at that time took the opportunity to rise up in rebellion.

It split into two countries, Dayuan and Liuyun.

And Emperor Guyue believed that the source of all this was the divination that Mr. Suxu gave to Empress Guyue.

Therefore, from then on, people were sent to hunt down Mr. Su Xu.

If it weren't for Mr. Su Xu, he would be famous all over the world and have countless followers in every country.

Moreover, Mr. Su Xu himself was also very capable, and he might have already died at the hands of the people sent by Emperor Gu Yue to hunt him down.

Therefore, this can explain why someone suddenly assassinated Mr. Suxu who came to Fengyao by chance in Yingsong Tower.

Clearly, seventeen years had passed, but Emperor Gu Yue had never given up on assassinating Mr. Su Xu.

The ancient and modern emperor of Guyue Kingdom is Princess Zhuxing, Zhao Nianxing's brother.

Qian Wushang's mother, Zhuyue Princess Zhao Nianyue's younger brother. Even Qian Wushang had to call Zhao Qifeng uncle.

At this point, it is very clear that the Guyue Kingdom wants revenge, and it is understandable that they want to exterminate Wei Chen and Princess Zhuxing's family.

However, even though things have been clarified now, for Emperor Qianyao.

In Fengyao City, assassins from Guyue Country attacked again and again.

Now he is even more daring and has wiped out Qian Yao, an earl's entire family.

This made Emperor Qianyao extremely dissatisfied with Zhou Gaoyang, the governor of the Nine Gates, and Meng Fanqi, the Fengyao guard.

Emperor Qianyao said with a dark face: "Zhou Gaoyang, I order you to do this within one month.

Find the assassins from Gu Yue Country and kill them all at Feng Yao’s place of residence.

Otherwise, you will be beheaded!"

Zhou Gaoyang was startled and immediately stepped forward to receive the order, saying, "Yes, I will obey your order!"

The same decree was also issued by Emperor Qianyao to Meng Fanguang, the commander of the Fengyao Guard.

It is said that after receiving the order, Meng Fangguang couldn't help but curse Zhou Gaoyang again.

Even though his own people were not in Chengqian Palace, he was still dragged into the water by the cunning fox Zhou Gaoyang.

I thought that if I couldn’t find the whereabouts of the assassins sent by Guyue Kingdom within a month, I would be in trouble.

You have to take your own head and report to His Majesty.

Meng Fangguang has been very anxious these days.

Although my father, who was stationed outside the imperial city, had 300,000 soldiers and horses under his command to protect the safety of the imperial city, he was not allowed to enter the capital without an imperial edict.

The eldest brother is like a father. When the father is not in the city, the eldest brother is responsible for all the affairs of the family.

My second younger brother suffered a tragic accident and the murderer has not been found yet. As his elder brother, how can I not blame myself?

My mother at home cried every day, urging me to avenge Qi'er!

Today, there is another incident involving a killer from Guyue Country.

No matter how reluctant Meng Fangguang was, he had to put Qi'er's matter aside for the time being.

Make every effort to track down the killer from Guyue Country!

This is a later story...

The next morning, Qian Wushang returned to Prince Sheng's Mansion and first sent Tianyi to deliver a letter to Leng Xinmo.

Tell him that the matter between Princess Zhuxing and Wei Chen and Wei Linlang has been resolved.

Let them not worry!

After giving the instructions, Qian Wushang stayed alone in the study.

Thinking of what happened in Chengqian Palace when my father left after Zhou Gaoyang and Gu Jingxuan left.

I stayed back and asked myself what was going on when I said I had someone in my heart.

Qian Wushang naturally wouldn't take back what he had said.

Besides, he didn't lie.

But when he really said these three words, Leng Xinmo.

He still caught the momentary look of astonishment and panic on his father's face.

Although, in the end he tentatively proposed that he wanted to marry Leng Xinmo as his concubine.

The emperor did not explicitly object, but he knew that he was also unwilling to do so.

However, he was not in a hurry, he had already said what he thought in his heart, Leng Xinmo could only be his, no one could change that!

...

"Your Majesty, Commander Gu requests to see you!"

Butler Shi's voice sounded outside the study, breaking Qian Wushang's contemplation.

After a while, Qian Wushang's voice sounded in the study.

"Come in!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Butler Shi replied.

Gu Jingxuan came here naturally for Wei Yunfan.

After Qian Wushang took Gu Jingxuan to see Wei Yunfan who had already woken up.

Gu Jingxuan ordered the person to be carried away.

Gu Jingxuan, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped and looked at Qian Wushang.

He asked, "Your Majesty, I have something I want to ask you. I wonder if you can tell me?"

Qian Wushang looked at Gu Jingxuan, who was neither humble nor arrogant, and had a dignified and open demeanor.

As expected, he is one of Fengyao's two heroes...

"Ask!" Qian Wushang's voice was somewhat cold.

Gu Jingxuan was slightly stunned, not knowing how he had offended Prince Sheng.

Gu Jingxuan believed that this was not his illusion.

It seemed that every time they met, Prince Sheng’s attitude towards him was not very friendly.

However, now is not the time to worry about Prince Sheng’s attitude.

Gu Jingxuan asked, "The prince once said that he was going to find Princess Zhuxing to get back a love ring.

I wonder if Your Majesty has already received it?"

Qian Wushang didn't know why Gu Jingxuan asked about the ring.

After all, even his father did not ask any questions about the ring.

However, Qian Wushang did not hide it, and shook his head and said, "No, when I arrived at Lord Wei's house.

When we found Wei Linlang’s body, we discovered that the ring she had always worn on her hand was gone.”

"Was it taken away by an assassin? Why would an assassin from Guyue Country take the ring from Miss Wei's hand?"

Gu Jingxuan was a little confused.

Qian Wushang said coldly: "This requires Commander Gu, you go and investigate."

Gu Jingxuan choked and said nothing more. He turned around and said goodbye.
