Queen is the top

Both Shi Qiaohuang and Shi Yuqing had never heard of the Ice Soul Needle. They didn't know what kind of ingenious hidden weapon it was. It only leaves a tiny pinhole on a person's body, and it can kill a person in an instant.

"Jingyi, what is the Ice Soul Needle?" Shi Yuqing asked the curiosity of everyone present.

Before He Jingyi could open his mouth, Yuan Lie blurted out: "The Bingpo needle is a hidden weapon with a high degree of poison that has long been lost in the world. After the needle enters the human body, it will invade the internal organs and cause sudden death. It was hundreds of years ago. It was brought to Dacheng by a small country in the Western Regions, but it gradually disappeared because of the insidious needles and the cumbersome production process, which made it extremely difficult to shape."

Shi Yuqing nodded, "So this is an extremely rare hidden weapon, why does it appear here?"

Shi Daoran hurriedly said: "That's right, my Shaoguo county government is far away from the rivers and lakes, how could this thing be provoked?"

He Jingyi frowned, "I'm afraid the Duke of Shaoguo will investigate the people in the mansion."

Shi Daoran understood, and hurriedly said: "Come here, seal up the mansion, no one needs to leave!"

Yuan Lie nodded, "It should be so. I will bring the young master's body back to Dali Temple first. I am afraid that I will often disturb the Shaoguo County Government during this case."

Shi Daoran understood and said: "It's natural, Sizheng only handles it impartially, and the Shaoguo County Government will fully cooperate. I just hope that Sizheng catches the murderer as soon as possible, and give my son justice."

He was about to shed tears as he spoke, and the wife of the Duke of Shaoguo hurriedly comforted him. The old lady Meng felt very sad when she saw the white-haired man giving away the black-haired man. Although she didn't like Shi Hongyong, it was her grandson after all. It is the flesh and blood of their family, and she couldn't help but shed a few tears when she thought of it. Shi Qiao Huang hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her and help her sit down.

The people who came with Yuan Lie carried Shi Hongyong out, He Jingyi's phoenix eyes slanted, and suddenly said: "It seems that you didn't see the eldest son today?"

Shi Daoran was taken aback, and blankly glanced at everyone present, except Shi Qiaoting who was in the palace and Xiao Li who was sent back to the room, the rest including Da Li were all present, except Shi Hongxiao was missing.

Mrs. Da Li hurriedly said: "Hongxiao is often busy in the household department until very late before coming back."

He Jingyi ignored her. It stands to reason that she, a concubine, has no right to take the initiative to talk to the prince. Da Li was afraid after she finished speaking, and took a step back embarrassingly, praying in her heart that He Jingyi would not blame her.

Shi Daoran didn't stop Da Li's mouth, and hurriedly said: "Yes, I'm afraid that the dog has not come back from the household department at this moment."

The corner of He Jingyi's mouth curled into a sneer and he didn't speak.He knew exactly what virtue Shi Hongxiao was doing in the household department, and with his instructions, the household department would never have kept Shi Hongxiao busy until now, so he narrowed his eyes and paid attention to Shi Hongxiao.

"If such a big incident happened in the family, the Duke should let the eldest son come back."

Upon hearing He Jingyi's words, Shi Daoran hurriedly said, "What His Royal Highness said is, come, come and find the Eldest Young Master quickly."

He Jingyi's eyes suddenly glanced up, then quickly lowered, and said indifferently: "I would like to express my condolences to the Duke and the old lady for today's matter. I will take Lan Jun back to the palace first."

Before Shi Daoran could speak, Old Madam Meng hurriedly got up and walked to He Jingyi's side and said respectfully, "Your Highness, my grandson has never seen a person die. Today's incident happened suddenly. He saw his elder brother die in front of his own eyes. I'm afraid he was frightened a lot, so please take care of him, Your Highness."

He Jingyi hurriedly nodded and said, "Don't worry, Madam, I will take care of Mr. Lan when I go back."

The old lady Meng nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. She knew He Jingyi's feelings for Shi Yuqing, and she could fake anything, except one's love.

She was worried and lowered her voice again, turned around and said some private words to Shi Yuqing: "He said such words to you, he is an asshole, but since he has been killed, it is also his fate, don't talk about those stupid words Keep it in mind, I have to serve the prince well."

Shi Yuqing hurriedly said: "Don't worry about it, my grandson, don't worry, Mrs. Jingyi, Jing Yi and I will not be influenced by anyone else."

Mrs. Meng nodded, "That's good." Turning around, he explained a few words to Shi Qiaohuang before he felt relieved.

Shi Daoran and the wife of Shaoguo County gave a few words to their children, and when He Jingyi saw that it was almost time, he wanted to take Shi Yuqing to leave.

Yuan Lie bowed his hands to greet everyone and was about to take a step ahead, but was stopped by He Jingyi, "You come back to the palace with me, I have something to say to you."

Yuan Lie was taken aback, smiled and said yes, followed behind He Jingyi and Shi Yuqing, and was sent out of the mansion by Shi Daoran and Mrs. Meng.

Everyone except Shi Qiao Huang went straight back to Changle Palace, while He Jingyi, Shi Yuqing, and Yuan Lie all went to Zichen Palace.

He Jingyi took Shi Yuqing's hand and went straight to the Shangshu Hall. Yuan Lie saw He Jingyi's solemn expression along the way and didn't speak, so he followed behind in bewilderment.

After entering the Shangshu Hall, He Jingyi asked Yun Donghai to take everyone out of the hall, leaving only the three of them in the hall.

He Jingyi suddenly said, "Come down."

Shi Yuqing and Yuan Lie looked at him puzzled, but before they could react, they saw a white figure quietly appearing in front of everyone, which shocked Shi Yuqing.

Apart from Cheng Yingzong and Bai Duyue, Yuan Lie was the only one who knew the existence of the Four-Dimensional Gate. In addition, since he practiced martial arts since he was a child, he had already discovered the existence of other people's aura in the hall, so he was not surprised.

He Jingyi hugged Shi Yuqing in his arms, patted him on the back lightly, and said to the white figure: "Next time you see the Crown Princess here, come in through the door."

The white figure nodded awkwardly, and hurriedly said, "Yes, Your Highness."

Shi Yuqing looked at He Jingyi blankly, with an expression of "Who is this?" He Jingyi hurriedly said softly: "This is my dark guard, Suzaku, the master of Southern Qisu Gate."

Suzaku hurriedly bowed to Shi Yuqing, "Suzaku pays homage to the Crown Princess!"

Shi Yuqing hurriedly said: "Get up quickly."

He Jingyi said softly, "I'll explain to Lan Jun later when I have time."

Shi Yuqing nodded, "Okay."

He Jingyi looked at him and smiled slightly, then turned his gaze to Suzaku and said, "You have been giving me secret signals since you were in the mansion, what happened?"

Suzaku immediately looked serious and dignified, glanced at Shi Yuqing and hesitated to speak.

He Jingyi said: "But it's okay to say."

Suzaku nodded: "The seven people under my sect respect the crown prince's life and have been protecting the crown princess. Today in the Shaoguo county mansion, we found a person who has been secretly observing the crown princess. He seems to be waiting for an opportunity. That person is very good at light kung fu. , we were careful not to be discovered by him. When the Empress Dowager left the front hall to go to the backyard, that person started to make some moves. When the Empress Dowager was arguing with the second son of Shaoguo County, the man fled from his arms. I took out a small needle and wanted to shoot in the direction of the Crown Princess, I was afraid that it would hurt the Crown Princess, so I stopped immediately, and secretly hit the man's wrist with a stone, and the second son was hit by the man's hand."

Zhu Que said as he bowed towards the princess and said, "I just wanted to save the princess in an emergency, but unexpectedly I would hit the second son, so I ask the princess to make amends."

Shi Yuqing hurriedly said: "Get up quickly, your original intention is for me, so why should I blame you?" He didn't have much affection for Shi Hongyong in his heart, although he didn't want him to die, but he also knew what he said to himself today Action is a dead end.

He Jingyi burst out with coldness, "Who is that person?"
