Green tea sick beauty after whitening
Chapter 25
Qu Changlu went to see Qi Zhan with Lu Yan and some other guests, but found that the room was empty. After Qi Zhan sent away the servants and the imperial physician, he disappeared.
Even Qu Changcheng didn't expect this move, he couldn't help but glance at Lu Yan, and found that he was also looking at him suspiciously.
The two were thinking at the same time, what the hell is the other doing?
Who lost King Wei again?
Qu Chang said: "Come here, go and call the guards of Prince Wei's residence and ask them if they know the whereabouts of King Wei."
After he ordered this matter, a soldier from Wucheng Bingmasi had already rushed over again.
He panted and said to Qu Zhang: "Master Qu, the rest of your mansion has been searched, only Prime Minister Qu, Lingmei, and your yard are left. Look at this..."
Qu Changlu didn't intend to let them finish the search at all, not to mention other things, he also has a little sister who was born out of concubine, who is fifteen this year, so the boudoir can't be searched at all.
He was just delaying the next good show.
After hearing this, Qu Chang said: "Then search my yard first, I'll go there right away. Prince Lu, please accompany me."
According to the plan, the assassin who had been arranged in advance should have been "captured" at this time, but there was no movement for a long time, and King Wei was also missing.
Lu Yan felt as if some things were out of his control, felt a little anxious, and decided to keep a close eye on Qu Zhang: "The guest is up to the owner, even if that is the case, I will still be with Mr. Qu."
Qu Chang negative said indifferently: "Whatever."
On the other side, Jing Qianjiang accidentally found a stranger in Qu Chang's negative room, immediately shouted "what are you doing", and grabbed the opponent's shoulder first, but when the person turned around, he was shocked.
"Qi Hui?"
He didn't even call the prince, and Qi Hui was startled when he saw Jing Qianjiang, and then realized something.
"It's you? You also know his identity?"
Qi Hui blurted out, "Are you also..."
If it wasn't for Jing Qianjiang who was also reborn and knew that Qu Changcheng was Le Youxia, how could he appear here just like himself?
An angry look flashed across Jing Qianjiang's eyebrows. He didn't want to talk to him at all, so he interrupted Qi Hui and said, "You deserve to stand here? Get out!"
After saying this, he suddenly paused, and suddenly turned his head to look at the screen in Qu Chang's negative room.
Immediately afterwards, Jing Qianjiang made a sudden move and directly knocked over the screen.
"Who else?"
——Qi Zhan is hiding behind the screen.
Although I didn't see the owner on this trip to Qu Zhang's negative room, he really didn't come in vain.
Just the appearance of Qi Hui was enough to surprise Qi Zhan, and seeing Jing Qianjiang also came to this unsurprisingly small room, Qi Zhan felt that it was not so strange to dream.
What's more, the conversation between Jing Qianjiang and Qi Hui is unclear, which further reveals that there are hidden secrets in it. Their relationship is definitely not as simple as it appears on the surface.
Qi Zhan was standing by the window behind the screen. He wanted to listen, but he accidentally saw a group of soldiers from Wucheng soldiers and horses coming outside.
Just now he said that he was assassinated and asked for a search, but Jing Qianjiang blocked his words. What is the purpose of Wucheng soldiers and horses at this time?
It's not good to be blocked by this scene, Qi Zhan immediately wanted to leave here quietly.
Biansheng Jing Qianjiang's martial arts are too high, and he can detect the slightest movement.
He knocked over the screen with a palm, and saw a person behind him with his back turned to him, so he swayed and blocked the window, raised his hand and turned towards Qi Zhan's neckline.
At the same time, Qi Hui had already blocked him from behind.
The three of them had doubts and guesses in their hearts, restrained each other, and no one had time to leave.
Just at this moment, the outside conductor Zhang Chu, Qu Changnegative and others had already arrived, and they also faintly heard the movement from Qu Changnegative's bedroom.
Qu Chang negative frowned slightly, Zhang Chu was not doing well yet, but Lu Yan felt refreshed.
He was a little annoyed that so many people failed to find the assassin just now, but he couldn't help but praise the assassin in his heart for his clever work.
——He hid in Qu Chang's yard, and was found out face to face. This is truly indisputable.
Seeing that Zhang Chu admired Qu Zhang, Lu Yan deliberately put on a look of nervousness and surprise for fear that the other party would cover him up, and said loudly, "Everyone, be careful, there seems to be someone hiding in that room!"
As he said that, Lu Yan seemed to want to protect everyone, so he drew his sword and rushed to the door, kicking the door open.
The door of the room was wide open, and everything in the room was exposed to everyone.
The crown prince, King Wei, and King Jing... all turned their heads at the same time, and fixed their eyes on Lu Yan.
Everyone was stunned.
Lu Yan: "..."
Whether it was the Lu family who planned this matter, Zhang Chu who was in charge of the investigation, or Qu Changlong who fought back, they couldn't figure out how things turned out like this.
These three can be said to be the highest-ranking people in the whole banquet. Just now they heard that there might be assassins mixed in, and they were looking for a few princes everywhere, but unexpectedly, they all hid in one place.
——The question is what are they all doing in Mr. Qu's bedroom?
Did they come together, or separately?
Why didn't they leave after closing the door for a long time? What were the three of them doing inside?
Don't dare to think about it!
The knife in Lu Yan's hand fell to the ground and hit his toe, but he didn't realize it.
After all, facing these three eyes full of coercion and condemnation at the same time, the pressure was really great. He didn't collapse on the ground, he was already considered a man.
Seeing this situation, Lu Yan was the most surprised and terrified person, and Qu Changluo was the most annoyed person.
He seldom lost his composure, but at this moment he couldn't help pinching the center of his brows, and asked through the gap between his teeth with a fake smile: "Your Highnesses, can you explain why you are here?"
Even if there is no serious cleanliness, no one can tolerate a few people coming to fight in their bedroom for no reason, okay? !
He was caught out in public!
With the sound of footsteps behind him, Xie Jiuquan rushed to the front of the crowd, pressed the handle of the knife, and stared at Qi Hui with murderous intent.
Qu Chang took a look at him and became even more troubled.
From the moment he appeared, Qi Hui's gaze had been firmly fixed on Qu Changnegative.
Except for the first misidentification, he was so focused on looking for Le Youxia afterwards that he never paid attention to this person again. At this moment, when he looked carefully, he realized that those words, laughing and angry expressions were all so familiar.
He used to get along with him day and night, and then let him see it in dreams countless times, but he couldn't touch it at all.
He is really back.
Even though he was in front of everyone, Qi Hui could hardly control himself, and moved forward unconsciously, as if he wanted to see more clearly.
"You Xia, is it really... is it really you?" His voice was trembling, and his voice was as low as talking to himself, "Isn't this just another dream? You—"
Seeing that his fingers were about to touch Qu Chang's body, Jing Qianjiang suddenly took a step, grabbed Qi Hui's arm, and shouted, "Prince!"
Qi Hui was startled, his arms dropped, his fingertips only touched half of Qu Chang's clothes, and he curled them tightly in his palms.
Qu Chang negative already backed away, frowning slightly.
All these entanglements, only a few of them know, the other people present are all at a loss, only feel that the atmosphere is strange and ambiguous.
Qi Hui is very majestic as a prince in front of people, always calm and dignified, but at this moment, anyone can see the nostalgia, grief, and surprise in his eyes.
Jing Qianjiang seemed to be angry, and said "Prince" very harshly.
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, each with seventeen or eight versions of guesses flashing in their hearts.
After a while, Qi Zhan withdrew his suspicious gaze from staring at them, and first said: "Commander Zhang, what are you doing here? What's wrong with Prince Lu?"
Zhang Chu was already stunned by the scene in front of him, he came back to his senses after hearing the question, and secretly blamed Lu Yan for making trouble, now he acted as if he was his accomplice.
He quickly cleared up and explained to Qi Zhan the whole story of searching for the assassin.
Qi Zhan said with a smile: "Oh, it turned out that it was to arrest the person who assassinated the king. You bothered. I thought that someone in the Lu family was killed, so Prince Lu was so angry."
After he finished speaking, he stared at Lu Yan coldly, and then looked at Qu Chang negatively and said: "As for this king, it is because... the wound hurts, it is difficult to sleep, and I was wandering around the mansion in boredom. It turned out to be the resting place of Mr. Qu, don't be surprised."
Jing Qianjiang was upset when he saw Qi Hui's expression towards Qu Changnegative. Qu Changnegative didn't seem to care about anyone, but he really did his best to assist Qi Hui.
If not, with his ability, he would never be forced to commit suicide by jumping off a cliff.
Jing Qianjiang doesn't want to think about how much weight the current Qi Hui still holds in Qu Chang's heart, but whether it's from the perspective of Qu Chang's safety or his own selfishness, he is very unhappy to see the two of them reunite. The scene of recognition.
What's more, where did Qi Zhan get involved?
He worked so hard to pretend to be a servant in exchange for a chance to live in the prime minister's mansion. What kind of stuff are these two people, they ran into Qu Chang negative's room recklessly, and made him suffer!
With this displeasure in his heart, Jing Qianjiang said with a cold face: "I was passing by here and came in to check when I heard a strange sound inside."
He paused: "In case there are blind assassins or lame mice in this house, they can be dealt with in time. I didn't intend to offend, Mr. Qu forgive me."
The wound on Qi Zhan's shoulder was a little cracked, and was being re-bandaged by someone, his face darkened upon hearing this.
He found that King Jing was really cheap.
No one had ever dared to squeeze him like this before, and Qi Zhan's heart was filled with murderous intent, but Qi Hui followed Jing Qianjiang's words and said: "It's the same for Gu."
What the two of them co-authored meant that Qi Zhan was to blame for walking around indiscriminately, and they were just eager to help.
——As for whether the excuse is reasonable, no one dares to ask why the dignified prince and grandson are so enthusiastic in the minister's house.
Qi Zhan took a breath of anger, temporarily put the account on Qi Hui and Jing Qianjiang's record, turned his gaze to Lu Yan, and said with a sneer:
"We've already said what we need to say. This king really wants to ask Lu Shizi, you are neither the master of the Qu Mansion nor a search for assassins. What are you doing rushing in like this?"
He couldn't deal with Qi Hui and Jing Qianjiang, and he couldn't deal with Lu?
Lu Yan was speechless.
If he had found out the assassin at the time, people's attention would have been diverted, and when they remembered his behavior in the front afterwards, at most they would just say "advance and recklessness" and would not suspect anything.
But with his kick to open the gate, it was the three princes who kicked out.
Lu Yan wanted to kneel down to plead guilty, but he was used to arrogance, and he didn't want to be in front of others, especially Qu Changlu, who was so panic-stricken in front of his deadly enemy, that he couldn't even bend his knees.
What exactly is going on? !What about pre-arranged assassins?
At this moment, there was a commotion outside, which temporarily relieved Lu Yan.
Qi Zhan frowned and raised his voice, "What's going on?"
Lu Yan took the opportunity to take a breath, and silently stepped aside.
The steward of the Qu Mansion ran in and reported: "Your Highnesses, Master Donggong Weiwei Li Jili asked to see him, saying that...the assassin was caught."
assassin?
Lu Yan's heart, which had just been put down, lifted up again, and he quickly exchanged glances with Lu Yang, both of them were full of surprise and panic.
The assassin they arranged in the Qu family did not show up for a long time, but Weiwei Donggong, who went to search outside, got the news. What kind of assassin did he catch?
After hearing the report, Qi Hui reluctantly looked away from Qu Changlong and said, "Let him in."
Li Ji hurried inside to salute, while the men behind him were still escorting another person.
——The man was wearing the clothes of the Changding Palace guards.
Li Ji reported to Qi Hui: "I just searched near the place where His Royal Highness King Wei was assassinated. Sure enough, under a wall, there were bloodstains on the ground. After investigating along the way, I was in the accompanying convoy of Changding Prince's Mansion. found this man."
He motioned to the people behind him to bring a tray with a bloody dagger on it, two letters, and a bottle of Crane Crown Red.
"These are all found from this person. The blade of this dagger should match the wound of His Royal Highness King Wei. Please take a look."
The tray was presented in front of several people, Qi Zhan glanced at it and said affirmatively: "This dagger was held by the assassin at that time."
He smiled coldly, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at Lu Yan: "When I was assassinated, I flicked on the handle of the knife, and there were finger marks on it."
Li Jidao: "Your Highness, in addition, I also discovered that this person's real identity is a Tiqi in the camp in the suburbs of Beijing. He was caught trying to burn the army warehouse a few nights ago, but he fled overnight. However, he unexpectedly appeared here to assassinate King Wei. Those two letters..."
He gestured to the letter in the tray: "The content is that this person was instructed by Prince Changding's son Lu Yan to hide the evidence of reselling military pay, so he did this. As for why His Royal Highness King Wei was assassinated, I don't know yet."
When this statement came out, everyone was in an uproar.
No one expected to come to have a good meal and watch such a big show. In addition to the unknown grievances and enmities between the three princes and the Prime Minister, there are also important cases involved.
Qu Chang negative raised his eyebrows.
This assassin was arranged by him. He originally planned to use the other party's identity as an arsonist in the military camp to connect the assassination case with the case of reselling military rations. As for the Lu family, more evidence can be arranged in the follow-up interrogation.
Unexpectedly, before Jing Qianjiang left, everything was stuffed into the assassin's arms, and the action was really fast enough.
Hearing this, Lu Yan finally realized that Qu Changshou must have anticipated their plan, and he had been tricked in reverse.
His face paled for a moment, and then he pretended to be calm and said: "How can it be such a coincidence? Just after some clues were found in the case of reselling military rations, His Royal Highness King Wei was assassinated. In less than an hour, this matter was brought to Chang'an again." Ding Wangfu's head. It is simply ridiculous. Master Li just continue to investigate, the Lu family on the left and right are not afraid of the shadow."
He spoke so forcefully that the hands hidden in his sleeves were already trembling slightly.
When Lu Yan was speaking, he looked at Qu Changnegative intentionally, as if hinting at something.
Hearing this, Qu Changcheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and said leisurely, "Your Majesty Lu's words are true. However, there were seven people who set fire to the barracks that night, and all of them have been captured alive and detained separately."
He smiled lightly: "One person can lie, but seven of them can't slander the Lu family together. As long as they are interrogated separately, I believe we can find out who is behind the scenes."
This move can be said to hit the pain point directly, Lu Yan could no longer keep calm, pointing at Qu Changlong with one finger, and angrily said: "You are really spitting blood. You clearly arranged all this in advance, otherwise how could..."
Qi Hui shouted: "Enough!"
After interrupting Lu Yan, he glanced at Qu Zhang negatively, and said: "This matter is very important, and it will be handled by the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple. Lu Shizi, Lu Dagongzi, Lu Sigongzi, let's go for a while."
As soon as he spoke, the Lu family said nothing.
After all, Princess Changding is the prince's biological aunt, and Lu Yan and others thought that he would be the guarantor for the Lu family after all, and had other arrangements, so they felt relieved.
Qu Chang negative maintained the shallow curve of his lips, watching the members of the Lu family being escorted out of the mansion by the Donggong guards, with a relaxed expression as if they were watching flowers in the garden.
Is there anyone or anything in the world that can move him?
Qi Zhan is not a fuel-efficient lamp. At this time, he has already vaguely guessed that today's assassination was probably originally designed by the Lu family to frame Qu Zhang, but the other party turned it around.
He actually thought of taking the opportunity to combine the two cases, this scheming is really deep.
He looked at Qu Chang negative, originally trying to find clues from the other's expression, but found that he couldn't bear to look away.
The original attention was because of his appearance, because both Qi Hui and Jing Qianjiang looked at this person differently, so they became interested, so they kept teasing him, trying to find his flaws.
But now, Qi Zhan realized that his heart was moving.
This kind of determination with the overall situation in hand, contempt from above, and calmness to solve everything while talking and laughing... are the most admirable traits.
He thought of his concubines and male favorites, and suddenly felt bored.
Although supple and delicate are touching, the dazzling and bright existence is what everyone wants to pursue and possess.
The banquet had already come to an end, and it couldn't go on any longer at this time, after Qu Changcheng apologized to all the guests, he sent them away one by one.
It stands to reason that he should wait for the prince to go first, but Qi Hui only said that there was still something to do, instead of leaving, he even sat aside silently, waiting patiently for Qu Chang to see off the guests.
The stern and majestic prince, how did he ever have such patience?
His performance made people even more involuntary to speculate about the gathering of the three talented kings.
Qi Hui looked at Qu Chang's behavior and speech, but felt that his heart was sinking a little bit.
It would be foolish for him not to understand what was going on by this time.
Previously, he couldn't find Le Youxia everywhere, precisely because he had preconceived ideas, thinking that everything should be a repetition of the previous life, and naturally found nothing when following this clue to find someone.
But it wasn't until this moment that Qi Hui clearly realized that not only him, but everyone...everyone had been reborn.
The mistakes made in the past, the rift between the two of them, after all, have existed in the long river of time and can no longer be erased.
After sending the guests away, Qu Chang turned around and looked back. When he saw Qi Hui, he was still startled, and asked curiously, "Your Highness hasn't left yet?"
Qi Hui said: "Gu... I have something to say to you."
He closed his eyes and whispered out the title: "You are flawed."
Qu Chang's face remained unchanged: "I said, why did you come into my room without incident, so you know my identity. Did His Royal Highness King Jing slip up in front of you, or did you see the Maple Leaf Formation in my mansion? ?”
He thought for a while and said, "Prince Jing is not such a careless person. If you can guess my identity, it probably has something to do with General Xie."
Qi Hui said: "They all know your identity, they only keep it from me, don't they?"
Qu Chang negative said indifferently: "People know that they guessed it by themselves. Your Highness doesn't care, so why are you so upset here?"
After finishing speaking, he was also a little impatient, and said: "If Your Highness is just here to confirm my identity, then I'll just say, I'm Le Youxia, my real name is Qu Changlu, I'm reborn in this life, and I'm living a good life."
After finishing speaking, Qu Changlu cupped his hands hastily: "It's getting late, I'm leaving, you should go back earlier."
It has been a long time since anyone spoke to Qi Hui in this tone.
Let him miss, but also let him heartache.
In the past, it was mean for Qu Zhang to be mean, but he had never been like this. He rejected him thousands of miles away after saying a few words, which made it clear that he did not want to have anything to do with him in this life.
Qu Changlu wanted to leave, but was grabbed by Qi Hui.
He looked down and coughed softly: "My arm was pulled by the second person today. Your Highness, please remember that I am weak and sick, so I can't help but toss."
Knowing that the other party said this on purpose, Qi Hui's heart still ached, and he relaxed his long arms.
He whispered: "You hate me."
Qu Chang said: "That's not true. Everything is my own choice. It's incompetent to blame others casually. I just feel that I'm at a loss for knowing you."
He folded his hands and sighed: "Your Highness, you know, I am a very self-motivated person. Although I have my own goals in assisting you, people go to high places. As a result, look, from the prime minister's son to From the counselor in white, to the traitor who is suspected by others, to the prisoner who absconded without permission..."
"At that time you personally led the troops to chase me. If I don't seek death, I'm afraid I will go to the palace and become a eunuch."
Qi Hui said: "...I didn't want you to be a eunuch."
Qu Chang's tone was indifferent: "But I didn't intend to let me get promoted and get rich, to show off my ambitions. In your heart, the falcon can only break off its wings and put them in the palm of your hand to enjoy - I have already said that when I come to you, I always want to show my ambitions." Some benefits, no benefits, what will I do with you."
In the past two lives, what he has not changed is that his words are not pleasant, but every sentence makes people unable to refute.
The former self thought he was cold and unreasonable, and was always suspicious.
Only now did I find out that Qu Chang lost his mother when he was young, his father was a smooth and selfish Qu Xiao who only cared about business, his stepmother Qing Chang was domineering and mean, and although his grandfather Song's family cared for him, they all died in battle.
His life must be difficult.
How many times of betrayal and heartbreak will it take to develop such a personality?
How much determination and hard work are needed to be able to be in such a physical condition, still capable of both civil and military skills, outstanding in strategy, and charming in style.
But he was so eager to go up and live a good life, and when he came to the East Palace, he was let down by himself again.
Heartbroken, regretful and remorseful.
For the first time in his life, Qi Hui said in such a low voice: "I'm sorry, it's my fault, I... am already changing it."
He looked at Qu Chang negative, and said every word with difficulty: "You, can you give me another chance. If there is anything I need to do, I will help you."
Qu Chang said: "The Lu family, do you protect it?"
Qi Hui was silent: "Princess Changding is my aunt, my concubine... how far do you want to go?"
Qu Chang said negatively: "The Lu family sold military rations, and the fall of the Song Grand Master in the previous generation was directly related to this. What do you think?"
Qi Hui didn't speak.
This matter was really difficult for him.
As Concubine Li said, Changding Prince's Mansion is not only his relative, but also one of the important supporters of the prince's faction, so he is reluctant to part with it easily.
Moreover, if the Lu family is suffering, if he doesn't care about it, it will inevitably chill the hearts of other subjects.
Qu Chang was not angry either, he raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Do you know why I chose to cooperate with you in the last life? Because I like your temperament very much."
"You are not a good thing, and neither am I. If you use each other in this way, no one needs to feel uneasy. I will not use human relations to coerce others to do things, but I can coerce you."
He said slowly: "Anyway, whoever helps the Lu family is against me. Your Royal Highness, you once broke my heart. I don't know if you will disappoint me again in this life."
Qi Hui's heart felt as if he had been hit hard.
The two stood facing each other, but they had already finished talking, and they shouldn't stay any longer.
Qu Chang took a step to leave, and when he passed by, he patted Qi Hui on the shoulder lightly, the smile in his eyes was like a sparkling undercurrent under the ice.
His soft words whispered in his ears, shaking the waves in his heart: "Qi Hui, you said you want to start over and let go of the past, but the storms we have experienced in the past, do you really have the heart to forget?"
Even Qu Changcheng didn't expect this move, he couldn't help but glance at Lu Yan, and found that he was also looking at him suspiciously.
The two were thinking at the same time, what the hell is the other doing?
Who lost King Wei again?
Qu Chang said: "Come here, go and call the guards of Prince Wei's residence and ask them if they know the whereabouts of King Wei."
After he ordered this matter, a soldier from Wucheng Bingmasi had already rushed over again.
He panted and said to Qu Zhang: "Master Qu, the rest of your mansion has been searched, only Prime Minister Qu, Lingmei, and your yard are left. Look at this..."
Qu Changlu didn't intend to let them finish the search at all, not to mention other things, he also has a little sister who was born out of concubine, who is fifteen this year, so the boudoir can't be searched at all.
He was just delaying the next good show.
After hearing this, Qu Chang said: "Then search my yard first, I'll go there right away. Prince Lu, please accompany me."
According to the plan, the assassin who had been arranged in advance should have been "captured" at this time, but there was no movement for a long time, and King Wei was also missing.
Lu Yan felt as if some things were out of his control, felt a little anxious, and decided to keep a close eye on Qu Zhang: "The guest is up to the owner, even if that is the case, I will still be with Mr. Qu."
Qu Chang negative said indifferently: "Whatever."
On the other side, Jing Qianjiang accidentally found a stranger in Qu Chang's negative room, immediately shouted "what are you doing", and grabbed the opponent's shoulder first, but when the person turned around, he was shocked.
"Qi Hui?"
He didn't even call the prince, and Qi Hui was startled when he saw Jing Qianjiang, and then realized something.
"It's you? You also know his identity?"
Qi Hui blurted out, "Are you also..."
If it wasn't for Jing Qianjiang who was also reborn and knew that Qu Changcheng was Le Youxia, how could he appear here just like himself?
An angry look flashed across Jing Qianjiang's eyebrows. He didn't want to talk to him at all, so he interrupted Qi Hui and said, "You deserve to stand here? Get out!"
After saying this, he suddenly paused, and suddenly turned his head to look at the screen in Qu Chang's negative room.
Immediately afterwards, Jing Qianjiang made a sudden move and directly knocked over the screen.
"Who else?"
——Qi Zhan is hiding behind the screen.
Although I didn't see the owner on this trip to Qu Zhang's negative room, he really didn't come in vain.
Just the appearance of Qi Hui was enough to surprise Qi Zhan, and seeing Jing Qianjiang also came to this unsurprisingly small room, Qi Zhan felt that it was not so strange to dream.

Biansheng Jing Qianjiang's martial arts are too high, and he can detect the slightest movement.
He knocked over the screen with a palm, and saw a person behind him with his back turned to him, so he swayed and blocked the window, raised his hand and turned towards Qi Zhan's neckline.
At the same time, Qi Hui had already blocked him from behind.
The three of them had doubts and guesses in their hearts, restrained each other, and no one had time to leave.
Just at this moment, the outside conductor Zhang Chu, Qu Changnegative and others had already arrived, and they also faintly heard the movement from Qu Changnegative's bedroom.
Qu Chang negative frowned slightly, Zhang Chu was not doing well yet, but Lu Yan felt refreshed.

With the sound of footsteps behind him, Xie Jiuquan rushed to the front of the crowd, pressed the handle of the knife, and stared at Qi Hui with murderous intent.
Qu Chang took a look at him and became even more troubled.
From the moment he appeared, Qi Hui's gaze had been firmly fixed on Qu Changnegative.
Except for the first misidentification, he was so focused on looking for Le Youxia afterwards that he never paid attention to this person again. At this moment, when he looked carefully, he realized that those words, laughing and angry expressions were all so familiar.

Qi Hui was startled, his arms dropped, his fingertips only touched half of Qu Chang's clothes, and he curled them tightly in his palms.
Qu Chang negative already backed away, frowning slightly.
All these entanglements, only a few of them know, the other people present are all at a loss, only feel that the atmosphere is strange and ambiguous.
Qi Hui is very majestic as a prince in front of people, always calm and dignified, but at this moment, anyone can see the nostalgia, grief, and surprise in his eyes.
Jing Qianjiang seemed to be angry, and said "Prince" very harshly.
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, each with seventeen or eight versions of guesses flashing in their hearts.
After a while, Qi Zhan withdrew his suspicious gaze from staring at them, and first said: "Commander Zhang, what are you doing here? What's wrong with Prince Lu?"
Zhang Chu was already stunned by the scene in front of him, he came back to his senses after hearing the question, and secretly blamed Lu Yan for making trouble, now he acted as if he was his accomplice.
He quickly cleared up and explained to Qi Zhan the whole story of searching for the assassin.
Qi Zhan said with a smile: "Oh, it turned out that it was to arrest the person who assassinated the king. You bothered. I thought that someone in the Lu family was killed, so Prince Lu was so angry."
After he finished speaking, he stared at Lu Yan coldly, and then looked at Qu Chang negatively and said: "As for this king, it is because... the wound hurts, it is difficult to sleep, and I was wandering around the mansion in boredom. It turned out to be the resting place of Mr. Qu, don't be surprised."
Jing Qianjiang was upset when he saw Qi Hui's expression towards Qu Changnegative. Qu Changnegative didn't seem to care about anyone, but he really did his best to assist Qi Hui.
If not, with his ability, he would never be forced to commit suicide by jumping off a cliff.
Jing Qianjiang doesn't want to think about how much weight the current Qi Hui still holds in Qu Chang's heart, but whether it's from the perspective of Qu Chang's safety or his own selfishness, he is very unhappy to see the two of them reunite. The scene of recognition.
What's more, where did Qi Zhan get involved?
He worked so hard to pretend to be a servant in exchange for a chance to live in the prime minister's mansion. What kind of stuff are these two people, they ran into Qu Chang negative's room recklessly, and made him suffer!
With this displeasure in his heart, Jing Qianjiang said with a cold face: "I was passing by here and came in to check when I heard a strange sound inside."
He paused: "In case there are blind assassins or lame mice in this house, they can be dealt with in time. I didn't intend to offend, Mr. Qu forgive me."
The wound on Qi Zhan's shoulder was a little cracked, and was being re-bandaged by someone, his face darkened upon hearing this.
He found that King Jing was really cheap.
No one had ever dared to squeeze him like this before, and Qi Zhan's heart was filled with murderous intent, but Qi Hui followed Jing Qianjiang's words and said: "It's the same for Gu."
What the two of them co-authored meant that Qi Zhan was to blame for walking around indiscriminately, and they were just eager to help.
——As for whether the excuse is reasonable, no one dares to ask why the dignified prince and grandson are so enthusiastic in the minister's house.
Qi Zhan took a breath of anger, temporarily put the account on Qi Hui and Jing Qianjiang's record, turned his gaze to Lu Yan, and said with a sneer:
"We've already said what we need to say. This king really wants to ask Lu Shizi, you are neither the master of the Qu Mansion nor a search for assassins. What are you doing rushing in like this?"
He couldn't deal with Qi Hui and Jing Qianjiang, and he couldn't deal with Lu?
Lu Yan was speechless.
If he had found out the assassin at the time, people's attention would have been diverted, and when they remembered his behavior in the front afterwards, at most they would just say "advance and recklessness" and would not suspect anything.
But with his kick to open the gate, it was the three princes who kicked out.
Lu Yan wanted to kneel down to plead guilty, but he was used to arrogance, and he didn't want to be in front of others, especially Qu Changlu, who was so panic-stricken in front of his deadly enemy, that he couldn't even bend his knees.
What exactly is going on? !What about pre-arranged assassins?
At this moment, there was a commotion outside, which temporarily relieved Lu Yan.
Qi Zhan frowned and raised his voice, "What's going on?"
Lu Yan took the opportunity to take a breath, and silently stepped aside.
The steward of the Qu Mansion ran in and reported: "Your Highnesses, Master Donggong Weiwei Li Jili asked to see him, saying that...the assassin was caught."
assassin?
Lu Yan's heart, which had just been put down, lifted up again, and he quickly exchanged glances with Lu Yang, both of them were full of surprise and panic.
The assassin they arranged in the Qu family did not show up for a long time, but Weiwei Donggong, who went to search outside, got the news. What kind of assassin did he catch?
After hearing the report, Qi Hui reluctantly looked away from Qu Changlong and said, "Let him in."
Li Ji hurried inside to salute, while the men behind him were still escorting another person.
——The man was wearing the clothes of the Changding Palace guards.
Li Ji reported to Qi Hui: "I just searched near the place where His Royal Highness King Wei was assassinated. Sure enough, under a wall, there were bloodstains on the ground. After investigating along the way, I was in the accompanying convoy of Changding Prince's Mansion. found this man."
He motioned to the people behind him to bring a tray with a bloody dagger on it, two letters, and a bottle of Crane Crown Red.
"These are all found from this person. The blade of this dagger should match the wound of His Royal Highness King Wei. Please take a look."
The tray was presented in front of several people, Qi Zhan glanced at it and said affirmatively: "This dagger was held by the assassin at that time."
He smiled coldly, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at Lu Yan: "When I was assassinated, I flicked on the handle of the knife, and there were finger marks on it."
Li Jidao: "Your Highness, in addition, I also discovered that this person's real identity is a Tiqi in the camp in the suburbs of Beijing. He was caught trying to burn the army warehouse a few nights ago, but he fled overnight. However, he unexpectedly appeared here to assassinate King Wei. Those two letters..."
He gestured to the letter in the tray: "The content is that this person was instructed by Prince Changding's son Lu Yan to hide the evidence of reselling military pay, so he did this. As for why His Royal Highness King Wei was assassinated, I don't know yet."
When this statement came out, everyone was in an uproar.
No one expected to come to have a good meal and watch such a big show. In addition to the unknown grievances and enmities between the three princes and the Prime Minister, there are also important cases involved.
Qu Chang negative raised his eyebrows.
This assassin was arranged by him. He originally planned to use the other party's identity as an arsonist in the military camp to connect the assassination case with the case of reselling military rations. As for the Lu family, more evidence can be arranged in the follow-up interrogation.
Unexpectedly, before Jing Qianjiang left, everything was stuffed into the assassin's arms, and the action was really fast enough.
Hearing this, Lu Yan finally realized that Qu Changshou must have anticipated their plan, and he had been tricked in reverse.
His face paled for a moment, and then he pretended to be calm and said: "How can it be such a coincidence? Just after some clues were found in the case of reselling military rations, His Royal Highness King Wei was assassinated. In less than an hour, this matter was brought to Chang'an again." Ding Wangfu's head. It is simply ridiculous. Master Li just continue to investigate, the Lu family on the left and right are not afraid of the shadow."
He spoke so forcefully that the hands hidden in his sleeves were already trembling slightly.
When Lu Yan was speaking, he looked at Qu Changnegative intentionally, as if hinting at something.
Hearing this, Qu Changcheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and said leisurely, "Your Majesty Lu's words are true. However, there were seven people who set fire to the barracks that night, and all of them have been captured alive and detained separately."
He smiled lightly: "One person can lie, but seven of them can't slander the Lu family together. As long as they are interrogated separately, I believe we can find out who is behind the scenes."
This move can be said to hit the pain point directly, Lu Yan could no longer keep calm, pointing at Qu Changlong with one finger, and angrily said: "You are really spitting blood. You clearly arranged all this in advance, otherwise how could..."
Qi Hui shouted: "Enough!"
After interrupting Lu Yan, he glanced at Qu Zhang negatively, and said: "This matter is very important, and it will be handled by the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple. Lu Shizi, Lu Dagongzi, Lu Sigongzi, let's go for a while."
As soon as he spoke, the Lu family said nothing.
After all, Princess Changding is the prince's biological aunt, and Lu Yan and others thought that he would be the guarantor for the Lu family after all, and had other arrangements, so they felt relieved.
Qu Chang negative maintained the shallow curve of his lips, watching the members of the Lu family being escorted out of the mansion by the Donggong guards, with a relaxed expression as if they were watching flowers in the garden.
Is there anyone or anything in the world that can move him?
Qi Zhan is not a fuel-efficient lamp. At this time, he has already vaguely guessed that today's assassination was probably originally designed by the Lu family to frame Qu Zhang, but the other party turned it around.
He actually thought of taking the opportunity to combine the two cases, this scheming is really deep.
He looked at Qu Chang negative, originally trying to find clues from the other's expression, but found that he couldn't bear to look away.
The original attention was because of his appearance, because both Qi Hui and Jing Qianjiang looked at this person differently, so they became interested, so they kept teasing him, trying to find his flaws.
But now, Qi Zhan realized that his heart was moving.
This kind of determination with the overall situation in hand, contempt from above, and calmness to solve everything while talking and laughing... are the most admirable traits.
He thought of his concubines and male favorites, and suddenly felt bored.
Although supple and delicate are touching, the dazzling and bright existence is what everyone wants to pursue and possess.
The banquet had already come to an end, and it couldn't go on any longer at this time, after Qu Changcheng apologized to all the guests, he sent them away one by one.
It stands to reason that he should wait for the prince to go first, but Qi Hui only said that there was still something to do, instead of leaving, he even sat aside silently, waiting patiently for Qu Chang to see off the guests.
The stern and majestic prince, how did he ever have such patience?
His performance made people even more involuntary to speculate about the gathering of the three talented kings.
Qi Hui looked at Qu Chang's behavior and speech, but felt that his heart was sinking a little bit.
It would be foolish for him not to understand what was going on by this time.
Previously, he couldn't find Le Youxia everywhere, precisely because he had preconceived ideas, thinking that everything should be a repetition of the previous life, and naturally found nothing when following this clue to find someone.
But it wasn't until this moment that Qi Hui clearly realized that not only him, but everyone...everyone had been reborn.
The mistakes made in the past, the rift between the two of them, after all, have existed in the long river of time and can no longer be erased.
After sending the guests away, Qu Chang turned around and looked back. When he saw Qi Hui, he was still startled, and asked curiously, "Your Highness hasn't left yet?"
Qi Hui said: "Gu... I have something to say to you."
He closed his eyes and whispered out the title: "You are flawed."
Qu Chang's face remained unchanged: "I said, why did you come into my room without incident, so you know my identity. Did His Royal Highness King Jing slip up in front of you, or did you see the Maple Leaf Formation in my mansion? ?”
He thought for a while and said, "Prince Jing is not such a careless person. If you can guess my identity, it probably has something to do with General Xie."
Qi Hui said: "They all know your identity, they only keep it from me, don't they?"
Qu Chang negative said indifferently: "People know that they guessed it by themselves. Your Highness doesn't care, so why are you so upset here?"
After finishing speaking, he was also a little impatient, and said: "If Your Highness is just here to confirm my identity, then I'll just say, I'm Le Youxia, my real name is Qu Changlu, I'm reborn in this life, and I'm living a good life."
After finishing speaking, Qu Changlu cupped his hands hastily: "It's getting late, I'm leaving, you should go back earlier."
It has been a long time since anyone spoke to Qi Hui in this tone.
Let him miss, but also let him heartache.
In the past, it was mean for Qu Zhang to be mean, but he had never been like this. He rejected him thousands of miles away after saying a few words, which made it clear that he did not want to have anything to do with him in this life.
Qu Changlu wanted to leave, but was grabbed by Qi Hui.
He looked down and coughed softly: "My arm was pulled by the second person today. Your Highness, please remember that I am weak and sick, so I can't help but toss."
Knowing that the other party said this on purpose, Qi Hui's heart still ached, and he relaxed his long arms.
He whispered: "You hate me."
Qu Chang said: "That's not true. Everything is my own choice. It's incompetent to blame others casually. I just feel that I'm at a loss for knowing you."
He folded his hands and sighed: "Your Highness, you know, I am a very self-motivated person. Although I have my own goals in assisting you, people go to high places. As a result, look, from the prime minister's son to From the counselor in white, to the traitor who is suspected by others, to the prisoner who absconded without permission..."
"At that time you personally led the troops to chase me. If I don't seek death, I'm afraid I will go to the palace and become a eunuch."
Qi Hui said: "...I didn't want you to be a eunuch."
Qu Chang's tone was indifferent: "But I didn't intend to let me get promoted and get rich, to show off my ambitions. In your heart, the falcon can only break off its wings and put them in the palm of your hand to enjoy - I have already said that when I come to you, I always want to show my ambitions." Some benefits, no benefits, what will I do with you."
In the past two lives, what he has not changed is that his words are not pleasant, but every sentence makes people unable to refute.
The former self thought he was cold and unreasonable, and was always suspicious.
Only now did I find out that Qu Chang lost his mother when he was young, his father was a smooth and selfish Qu Xiao who only cared about business, his stepmother Qing Chang was domineering and mean, and although his grandfather Song's family cared for him, they all died in battle.
His life must be difficult.
How many times of betrayal and heartbreak will it take to develop such a personality?
How much determination and hard work are needed to be able to be in such a physical condition, still capable of both civil and military skills, outstanding in strategy, and charming in style.
But he was so eager to go up and live a good life, and when he came to the East Palace, he was let down by himself again.
Heartbroken, regretful and remorseful.
For the first time in his life, Qi Hui said in such a low voice: "I'm sorry, it's my fault, I... am already changing it."
He looked at Qu Chang negative, and said every word with difficulty: "You, can you give me another chance. If there is anything I need to do, I will help you."
Qu Chang said: "The Lu family, do you protect it?"
Qi Hui was silent: "Princess Changding is my aunt, my concubine... how far do you want to go?"
Qu Chang said negatively: "The Lu family sold military rations, and the fall of the Song Grand Master in the previous generation was directly related to this. What do you think?"
Qi Hui didn't speak.
This matter was really difficult for him.
As Concubine Li said, Changding Prince's Mansion is not only his relative, but also one of the important supporters of the prince's faction, so he is reluctant to part with it easily.
Moreover, if the Lu family is suffering, if he doesn't care about it, it will inevitably chill the hearts of other subjects.
Qu Chang was not angry either, he raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Do you know why I chose to cooperate with you in the last life? Because I like your temperament very much."
"You are not a good thing, and neither am I. If you use each other in this way, no one needs to feel uneasy. I will not use human relations to coerce others to do things, but I can coerce you."
He said slowly: "Anyway, whoever helps the Lu family is against me. Your Royal Highness, you once broke my heart. I don't know if you will disappoint me again in this life."
Qi Hui's heart felt as if he had been hit hard.
The two stood facing each other, but they had already finished talking, and they shouldn't stay any longer.
Qu Chang took a step to leave, and when he passed by, he patted Qi Hui on the shoulder lightly, the smile in his eyes was like a sparkling undercurrent under the ice.
His soft words whispered in his ears, shaking the waves in his heart: "Qi Hui, you said you want to start over and let go of the past, but the storms we have experienced in the past, do you really have the heart to forget?"
