I heard that I had an affair with the sick emperor

Shi Xu, it turned out to be him.

It's not that Lou Yu never thought about this possibility.He couldn't be more clear about Shi Xu's ambition, but he has always been restrained by himself, so he didn't show it too much.But now, everyone thinks that Lou Yu is dead, and Shi Xu is no longer willing to be a little prince.

He crumpled the paper in his hand and threw it into the brazier beside him.

Seeing that Lou Yu's face was cloudy, the two assassins quickly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Master, please forgive me."

When Lou Yu heard the begging for mercy, she turned her eyes to the two kneeling in front of her.

However, he didn't wait for him to tell the result of the two people's disposal.Suddenly, the two people who were still kowtowing to him suddenly fell to the ground.They rolled twice on the ground, then stopped moving.

This sudden change stunned Lou Yu and the guards present.

Finally, one of the jailers stepped forward and turned the two assassins over. It was at this moment that Lou Yu saw blood overflowing from the corners of their mouths. The blood was dark red, and it must have been poisoned.

The jailer put his hand under the noses of the two men, probed for a while, and then cupped his hands to Lou Yu and said, "My lord, the two assassins are already dead."

Seeing this, four words emerged in Lou Yu's heart: kill to silence.

Obviously, these assassins took poison before the assassination.Regardless of whether their assassination is successful or not, they will eventually die of poison.

In this way, no matter whether Shi Yan is dead or not, these assassins will have no chance to tell the truth.

However, perhaps even Shi Xu himself did not expect that he would come to interrogate these assassins overnight.

While Lou Yu was deep in thought, a jailer hurried over and said, "Master, the assassin just now died." Lou Yu was not surprised. Since both of them died of poison, the assassin naturally Nor can it be spared.

Lou Yu didn't know what he was thinking, and after a while, he waved his hands and said regretfully, "It's a pity that I didn't find out the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes from these assassins, it's really embarrassing."

The reason why Lou Yu said that was because he wasn't sure if there was a timeless person among the jailers, so he could only pretend that he didn't know anything.

What Lou Yu didn't expect was that as soon as he finished speaking, a voice suddenly came from outside. "Prince Xu is here."

After Lou Yu heard the identity of the visitor, something strange flashed in his eyes.

When Shi Xu came at this time, he must have gotten the news that he was interrogating the assassin at night, so he came to stop him.

Unfortunately, he now knows the truth.

Not long after the voice came, several figures walked over from a distance.Lou Yu looked in the direction of the sound of footsteps, and the leader was indeed Shi Xu.

Lou Yu got up calmly, as if he didn't know that Shi Xu was the mastermind behind the banquet tonight's assassination, and calmly saluted Shi Xu. "I have seen King Xu."

"National teachers are exempt from courtesy." Shi Xu took two steps forward, ready to help Lou Yu up.After learning that Jun Qianyao's real identity was actually Lou Yu, Shi Xu's attitude towards him could no longer be the same as before.

Lou Yu took a step back almost invisible, barely avoiding Shi Xu's extended hand, and he thanked Shi Xu. "Thank you, my lord."

Shi Xu's hands froze in mid-air, quite embarrassed.But he didn't show any displeasure, just calmly withdrew his hand, and said to Lou Yu: "The national teacher came to the prison to interrogate the assassin at night, what's the clue?"

Lou Yu cast a glance at the two assassins who had died, and said pointedly: "The mastermind behind this scene is really cunning, and even fed poison to these assassins. It's a death call."

Shi Xu also saw the corpse on the ground, but although Lou Yu said that he did not find anything during the interrogation, Shi Xu still felt a little uneasy.

However, he didn't show anything on his face, he sighed and said: "That's really embarrassing."

Lou Yu thought that Shi Xu's acting skills were really good, and he had been fooled before.But he didn't show it, but asked instead: "It's so late, why did King Xu come to the prison?"

"This king, like you, also wants to see who sent these assassins to assassinate the emperor." Shi Xu said what he had already thought up.

In fact, there are his people in the prison this day.As soon as Lou Yu came, he got the news.If something unexpected happens, he will bring people over immediately.

"It seems that the lord is going to make a futile trip." Lou Yu frowned, and continued to practice Tai Chi with Shi Xu.

"It's okay, since these assassins are dead, why doesn't the national teacher leave with this king?" Shi Xu suggested.

Lou Yu did not refuse, but readily agreed. "That's very good, please, King Xu."

"Please." Shi Xu said, stepping forward.

Lou Yu immediately stepped up to keep up, and walked out of the dungeon side by side with him.

The moment he walked out of the dungeon, a gust of cool wind came towards him, and being blown by the wind like this, Lou Yu became sober.He closed his cloak again, and then turned to Shi Xu and said, "It's getting late for King Xu, so I'm going to leave first."

"The moon is shining tonight. Why is the national teacher in a hurry to go back? How about having a few drinks with me?" Shi Xu didn't intend to leave as Lou Yu. Obviously he wanted to further confirm that Jun Qianyao in front of him It was Lou Yu.

Shi Xu's reaction made Lou Yu a little confused.

He invited himself to have a drink, what was he trying to test?

But no matter what he meant, Lou Yu didn't have the time to drink with him now.

Therefore, he found an excuse to refuse and said: "I'm afraid the prince doesn't know, and the next official is afraid of guilt. If I go back late, I'm afraid I won't be able to go to bed again."

Shi Xu stared closely at Lou Yu's eyes, as if guessing the truth of what he said.After a while, he said: "Since that's the case, then I won't force you, the national teacher please."

"Thank you, my lord, I will take my leave." Lou Yu said, took a few steps back, turned around and climbed into the carriage parked not far away.

After getting into the car, he said to Wan Jie through the curtain of the car: "Let's go."

Wan Jie said "yes" before driving away in the car.

Until Lou Yu's carriage disappeared into the darkness, Shi Xu still stood motionless in the previous position.

"My lord, I don't know whether what Jun Qianyao said just now is true or not. To be on the safe side, it's better to let the subordinates send someone to arrest him..." The guard didn't finish the next few words, but he watched him gesture gesture, but it is not difficult to guess what he meant.

"Without my king's order, no one is allowed to touch him." Shi Xu turned his head and said to the guard in an orderly tone.The guard was taken aback by Shi Xu's attitude, he quickly lowered his head and replied: "Yes."

Hearing the guard's answer, Shi Xu once again turned his gaze to the road Lou Yu left.

Last time, it was because of his fear that Lou Yu was possessed by Shi Yan.

And this time, he won't do it again.He must get Lou Yu, even if it is by any means.

The carriage drove all the way to the palace gate, and as expected, the palace gate was already closed.

Lou Yu asked Wan Jie to come forward to call the door, and then showed his gold medal, and then entered the palace smoothly.

After entering the palace, Lou Yu did not return to Yimengxuan immediately, but went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation in Shiyan.

Although the imperial physicians had assured that Shi Yan's life was not in danger, but now that he hadn't seen Shi Yan with his own eyes, he still couldn't feel relieved.Because of Shi Yan's injury, the Hall of Mental Cultivation was undoubtedly brightly lit tonight.

None of the maids and eunuchs dared to close their eyes, for fear that something might go wrong with Shi Yan.

The defense in the Hall of Mental Cultivation is obviously much stricter than before, and outside the room of Shi Yan, there are several imperial guards guarding it.

Lou Yu's arrival attracted the attention of the Imperial Forest Army.

Fortunately, they quickly recognized Lou Yu's identity, and the leader among them hugged him and said, "I've seen Mr. Guoshi." "I want to go in and see the emperor." Lou Yu didn't say much, and directly explained the purpose of coming.

The man nodded and waved to the men behind him who were blocking the door, and the two of them automatically retreated to the two sides.

After Lou Yu saw it, she stepped forward and opened the door of Shi Yan's room over several people.

The light in the room was still on, and Shi Yan was lying quietly on the bed, his face was still as pale as before, but the blood on his lips was a little bit more.The clothes on his body have been changed, and the wound has been bandaged by the imperial doctor.However, the white cloth was still faintly tinged with blood.

Seeing this, Lou Yu closed the door behind his back and continued to walk inside.

He walked all the way to the bed, and then sat down on the edge of the bed.

However, before his butt could sit still, Shi Yan, who had his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, and then he firmly grabbed Lou Yu's arm and pulled him down.

Lou Yu lost his balance and fell on Shi Yan.Fortunately, the wound on his body was avoided.

Realizing that Shi Yan had woken up, Lou Yu's eyes showed surprise. "you're awake?"

Shi Yan didn't answer Lou Yu's words, his brows were tightly frowned, and he looked at Lou Yu with slight displeasure.Finally, his voice came viciously. "You lied to me again."

Lou Yu was a little confused, when did he lie to him?

In order to avoid touching Shi Yan's wound, Lou Yu was about to sit up and talk.But Shi Yan didn't intend to let him stand up at all, as soon as he supported his body, Shi Yan pulled him back again.

But this time, his hand was even more pressing on Shi Yan's chest.He obviously felt that Shi Yan's facial features became distorted. He looked down from time to time, and he saw that Shi Yan's originally bandaged wound was oozing blood, and the blood was getting more and more obvious. Already cracked.He didn't dare to move anymore, he just took his hand away a little and said: "Quickly let go."

Shi Yan didn't move, just looked at him stubbornly and asked why did you lie to me? "

"When did I lie to you?" Lou Yu asked angrily.

And what responded to him was Shi Yan's frowned deeper, he gritted his teeth, and said: "You said you wouldn't leave."
