Zhu Lan is dead

"Your Majesty, I have something to say, I don't know if I can..."

When the atmosphere was frozen, the Prime Minister Lin Fu who had been sitting aside for a long time suddenly stood up and bowed to Zhou Lixiao.

"Say!" Zhou Lixiao looked at him, the expression in his eyes getting darker.I don't know what kind of tricks this old thing wants to play.

Lin Fu bent down and said slowly: "I see that the atmosphere is almost here, so I want to make a show of shame."

"Oh? Lin Xiang has come up with another good idea?"

Lin Fu said: "Recently, I found a strange woman in Xinlefang. She can learn the strange skills as soon as she learns it. She is very smart and quick, so I wanted to let her come out to perform a ugly song."

"Yes, that's right, ask that woman to come out and play a few songs hahahaha!" Wang Lu hurriedly said while seeing this.

He was holding a wine bottle, drunk, and acted as if he didn't care about it. Many ministers around him didn't dare to say a word when they saw this. Seeing him so unscrupulous, I think it's normal.

Hearing the words, Zhou Lixiao glanced calmly at Yu Changqi at the bottom of the palace steps, seeing that the latter was still sitting in the distance as motionless as a mountain, with a calm expression as if in a daze, and frowned impatiently, carelessly Authentic: "Pass!"

When everyone saw it, they felt relieved. After all, Lin Fu and Wang Lu were old friends for many years, and it was normal to come out to solve problems like this.

After Lin Fu retreated, the servant girl who was accompanying her stepped forward and slowly opened the palace door. The cold night wind rushed in like a flood that broke a bank, and the snowflakes fell on the people who had been waiting for a long time. On the figure outside the Hall of Martial Heroes, the robes of the blowing figure fluttered, and the slender figure of Ping Ting became distant and hazy in the distance, and the snowflakes fell, and the red dress and skirt were as crimson as clouds .

Holding a long piano in her hand, the woman walked into the center of the hall without haste, bowed slightly and saluted, then sat cross-legged without saying a word, and put the long piano on a sandalwood lacquered table .

Slightly moving the slender fingers, rubbing them together, picking and rubbing, a song of peace and sorrow appeared.

The long piano is called Dead Wood Dragon Yin, the whole body is originally painted black, and it is patched with malachite and ivory powder. The free state of immortality.

Compared with the place where the silk and bamboo have a clear sound, it is much quieter and more relaxed. Everyone present couldn't help but look at it with admiration. They didn't think so much of this mere qin girl before, but now they feel a little envious.

Until the end of the song, everyone hadn't come back to their senses. The woman suddenly stood up and saluted Zhou Lixiao, but she still didn't speak.

At this time, Lin Fu stood up suddenly, "Your Majesty, this girl's name is Nayin, she is a dumb girl who can't speak."

"Nayin...that's a good name." Zhou Lixiao looked at her for a while, "It's just a pity that you can't speak, and it's a rare talent to be able to use the Dead Wood Dragon Yin so far. What do you want? reward?"

The woman shook her head silently when she heard the words, her expression was peaceful.

Yu Changqi, who had been sitting silently for a long time, couldn't help but raised his head and frowned at the woman's glamorous profile, feeling bad for a while.

At this moment, the door of the main hall was suddenly pushed open, and there was another gust of cold wind, and a blood-stained guard ran in in a hurry, and knelt down under the steps of the hall with a "plop".

His face was flustered, and his breathing was even more chaotic, "Your Majesty, a fire broke out in an official kiln in Xinlefang, the capital city, and hundreds of pieces of porcelain that were originally ordered were all reduced to ashes. When the humble official sent people to patrol at night, they found..."

"What did you find?" Zhou Lixiao looked at him, with a hint of anger in his eyes.

"I found out..." The guard lowered his head tremblingly, "I found out that this was done deliberately, and...in that pile of ashes, hundreds of pieces of cast iron were found..."

"..."

As soon as the guard said this, everyone in the hall gasped as expected.

It's just that before the guard could finish speaking, the red-clothed qin girl who had been standing in the center of the hall from now on suddenly picked up the dead wood dragon song that was placed on the sandalwood lacquer table, and knelt down beside her in an instant. The guard withdrew his head and threw it away.

The latter couldn't react in time, and was directly hit on the head with a broken head, and he collapsed on the ground in just a moment, unable to move.

"Yes, there are assassins!"

The officials in the hall panicked when the qin girl made the move. Many guards outside the hall rushed in armed with weapons. enough.

"Hehe..." Looking at the guards who surrounded her heavily, the Qin girl suddenly let out a low, hoarse hiss from her speechless mouth, and her beautiful face seemed to reveal a smile, but the next moment she shook her head. Pulled out a dagger from the red sleeve, and quickly slashed it from his throat!

"Stop her!"

Sitting in the main hall, Zhou Lixiao, who had never been shaken at all, watched the scene coldly. The next moment, when the last syllable hadn't faded away, Yu Changqi had already shot the case, and the speed was unpredictable Through, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the Qin girl's wrist. The pain from the deliberately distorted joint made her let go of the dagger in her hand, but Yu Changqi didn't give her a chance to fight back. She pressed on the sandalwood lacquer table.

With just one hand knife, the qin girl was knocked unconscious in an instant, and the dead wood dragon made a clear sound when it fell to the ground, and the string broke, and the scene ended here.

"Is this play exciting?"

The snow rustled down and covered the skirts of the clothes. After tonight's business was over, the banquet was dismissed in a hurry. The boring meal suddenly became full of interest.

Liang Ke waved the snow off his clothes, glanced at the person leaning against the fireplace surrounded by a screen, and curled his lips, "Wonderful, how can it not be wonderful?!"

Zhou Huaiqi was sitting quietly in front of her wearing a cloak, and from time to time a few sparks appeared from the heater in front of her, and her eyebrows and eyes were brightened by the warm firelight.

Liang Ke walked towards him, poured a cup of hot tea to warm up his body, "Is there any news about that incident?"

Zhou Huaiqi looked up at him, "I don't know."

"I don't know?" Liang Ke couldn't help but smiled, "I'm afraid it's going to go nowhere. I said earlier that the child can't be trusted, so why do you bother to think about it?"

"I miss him." Zhou Huaiqi said, "It's just disappointment."

Liang Ke smiled, "There's nothing to be disappointed about. It's just a piece of bait. Now that the test results have come out, I'm afraid this piece of bait won't be of much use. Why don't I remove it for you? how?"

Zhou Huaiqi looked at him, her tone became hesitant, "What do you want to do?"

"What can the bait do, of course it is used for fishing." Liang Ke laughed indifferently, "It is better to deal with those who cannot be kept as soon as possible, so as not to cause trouble in the future."

"..."

Zhou Huaiqi heard the words but didn't speak any more, she sat quietly in front of the stove, staring at the fire light in a trance.

Originally, not long before the transaction between Liang Ke and the Lin family was exposed, Lin Jiangzhuo personally sent someone to talk to Liang Ke. He didn't know what they had said in private. It is not advisable to show up too early.

However, judging from Liang Ke's occasional conversations these few times, Lin Jiangzhuo probably didn't come to find Liang Ke to ease the matter, but had some kind of deal in private, and what he can be sure of is that Lin Jiangjuan He already knew Ye Fanji's identity.

But there is nothing to worry about. It is no secret that this child is a descendant of the Ci family. What he is afraid of is that Lin Jiangzhuo will use Ye Fanji's identity to deal with Yu Changqi. After all, Ye Fanji's identity If it was exposed, the day when he would actually meet Zhou Lixiao would not be far away.

Seeing Zhou Huaiqi's silent expression, Liang Ke probably guessed something, and slowly squatted down to hold his hand, touching the warmth between his fingers, Zhou Huaiqi was startled, and couldn't help turning her head to look at him.

"The day that should come will come sooner or later. You have been looking forward to it for so long, and you have come to this point and there is no room for turning back."

There was a bit of bewilderment in her eyes, Zhou Huaiqi couldn't help but smile, "Do you think I will regret it?"

"...", Liang Ke looked at him and said nothing.

"It's your overthinking..." After a while, Zhou Huaiqi withdrew her finger, "I know how to walk my own way, but I never know how to write the word regret."

"Really?" Liang Ke stood up, "I hope I'm overthinking."

Zhou Huaiqi said coldly: "Put away your extra thoughts."

Holding Zhou Huaiqi's shoulders, her expression became gloomy, Liang Ke leaned slightly and whispered to the people around her, "I will remove all your retreats in the future, I hope you will never turn back..."

"En." Zhou Huaiqi responded lightly, but Liang Ke stretched out the cloak that was about to fall off his shoulders and picked it up. Before he could react, the man grabbed his knees and hugged him up.

"What are you doing?" Zhou Huaiqi subconsciously grabbed Liang Ke's arm while her figure was unstable.

Liang Ke looked at him and raised his eyebrows jokingly, "It's cold in the middle of the night, sitting for a long time is not good for your health, Your Highness should go to bed as soon as possible and rest."
