The bright lights of Baohua Pavilion lasted until the fourth watch, and Shen Yuxin stayed by Lu Buying's side all the time, which warmed the young man's heart.

"Sir, if it wasn't for the lowly position that blocked the sword, maybe the Seventh Prince would have been killed, maybe... Miss Qu is still alive." It is not without reason that Lu Buying said this, since the female assassin who pretended to be dead can escape Chen Gu Yue's eyes must have come prepared.If Qu Xixi succeeds in the assassination, the female assassin will probably give Qu Xixi a way out.

Qianniuwei is still cooperating with the people from Dali Temple who came here two hours ago to clean up the mess, and His Majesty the Emperor almost wants to do it himself so as not to let go of any clues. It seems that the case must be thoroughly investigated to the end.The frightened "Song Mingyue" returned to Jitian Palace first under the escort of the slightly injured Zhao Yi. The empress seemed to be quite angry, and she sat upright in the hall, closing her eyes and meditating.

Even if the emperor and empress are like this, all the officials present dare not resign, not to mention that His Majesty the emperor has already spoken, and everyone present today is suspicious.Anyway, she couldn't leave, so Shen Yuxin dragged Lu Buying to find a secluded corner. She looked at Chen Guyue and Cai Xun who were busy with their work, and sneered, "Abu, today you are not only innocent, but also meritorious, Zhao Yi Maybe he should die, but he must not be allowed to die so easily."

Shen Yuxin changed into a comfortable posture, and said again: "Today I finally understand that no matter who Qu Xixi is instigated by, Chen Guyue is definitely not for Zhao Yi."

After pretending to be dizzy for too long, Lu Buying, who had lost a lot of blood, was pale, leaning against the wall, and said weakly, "But Your Majesty didn't blame him for this."

Shen Yuxin rolled her eyes, "This shows that His Majesty is exactly the same as him."

"Your Majesty also wants the Seventh Prince to die?" Lu Buying's eyes widened.

Although there have been many cases of brother-in-law and father-killing and son-killing in the past dynasties, the upright men obviously don't think that their brave and reckless emperor would be so cold-hearted.

"It's not what it used to be." Shen Yu cast a sideways glance at Lu Buying, and she could guess what he was thinking from his unbelievable expression, so she said: "Of course, one's own flesh and blood are important, but there are not many opportunities to be in charge of the country alone. If you don’t want to be the Son of Heaven, you have to use the means you need.”

The loyal and filial man obviously couldn't figure it out, and kept his head down in silence.Shen Yuxin's eyes followed Zhao Ye all the time, and the eldest son of the emperor, who usually didn't show much in the mountains and rivers, followed Zhao Zongqian every step of the way. The father and son whispered a few words from time to time, and it seemed that they got closer all at once.As for the sixth prince, Zhao Zhu, who came late after he didn't know where to fool around, Zhao Zongqian hardly took a look.Just because of an accident, the verdict was immediately judged. Shen Yu thought about it for a while, no matter how you look at it, Zhao Ye is the final big winner.But this is not what she cares most about. What she cares most about is how Zhao Ye sent Qu Xixi's corpse out of the palace.

When the sky was twilight, Cai Xunxun found the two of them, and said with a tired face: "You and Lu Lang will go back to Qingmo Academy first, and you have already asked His Majesty for instructions as a teacher."

Shen Yu said without raising her eyes: "Master, the manipulator behind the scenes is at today's banquet."

Cai Xun smiled wryly: "I know it for the teacher."

Shen Yuxin suddenly raised her head and stared at Cai Xun, "Master already knows who did it?"

Cai Xun evaded it without any concealment: "Go back and rest first, and we'll talk about it later."

With difficulty, Shen Yu helped the burly Lu Buying out of the Baohua Pavilion, which had been stormy all night, with one step and three turns. The young man grinned from the wound, and couldn't help but smiled bitterly: "Sir, the humble can walk on its own."

Only then did Shen Yuxin realize that she was holding Lu Buying's right hand, and she switched sides with a smirk, "Abu, Mr. Ben met a famous doctor outside the palace. Don't worry, you will be even more powerful than before!"

The upright and upright man smiled heartily, "The low-ranking offender comes first, sir has such tolerance, even if this arm is really crippled, the lowly-ranking officer will have no complaints or regrets."

Shen Yuxin frowned, slapped the man's strong back, and complained: "Don't say that, your parents are responsible for your body, hair and skin. If you lack arms and legs, how can I face your mother in the future. Besides, If you lose an arm, who will protect Mr. Ben?"

The clumsy man just smiled and said nothing, while the two of them were talking, they had reached the gate of Qingmo Academy unknowingly, and the courtyard was completely silent.Even though it was less than Chen's hour, but there was such a big incident in the palace last night, which palace servant dared to sleep like this to death?

The two looked at each other, and Lu Buying, who was still in the lead, was leading the way. After all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.Shen Yuxin followed closely behind, calling Chun Nao's name all the way into the courtyard gate.When the two approached the small courtyard along the corridor, Chun Nao's voice came from inside: "Sir! I'm here!"

Shen Yuxin rushed into it first, and Lu Buying gritted her teeth to barely keep up, but she saw that Feixieting Shen Yuxin suddenly stopped, and Lu Buying, who was seriously injured, almost staggered and bumped into it, and when she took a closer look, the person holding Chun The woman in Nao was the female assassin of Baohua Pavilion, she was still dressed in black, although the veil had been taken off, but the blood at the corner of her mouth showed that she was seriously injured.

Zhao Zongqian's palm was real, and it hit her heart firmly, it was not easy to escape so far.

"Miss Qingliu." Shen Yu said in a calm voice, which really surprised Lu Buying. The female gentleman knew the female assassin?

"I didn't intend to hurt him, but if I didn't, I wouldn't be able to wait for my husband to come back." It was already difficult for Qingliu to open his mouth to speak, and he spit out blood as soon as he finished speaking.

As Shen Yuxin walked towards Feixie Pavilion, she said to the pale young man, "Chun Nao, go to the front of the hall and prepare breakfast together with the others, and everyone will use some when they come back later, remember to prepare more, sir is also very hungry. "

Feeling the hand on the neck loosen slightly, Chun Nao rushed towards Shen Yuxin, he looked back at Qing Liu in horror, and left without saying a word.Shen Yuxin stopped five steps away from the green willow, and said expressionlessly: "Although I don't know the art of distorting yellow, but I can see the girl's face, and I know that the girl is not far from the end. I just don't know what is the girl's purpose here?"

Hearing these words, Lu Buying's mind stabilized a lot, if the female assassin still had enough energy to attack suddenly, given his current situation, he might be doomed.

Qingliu smiled lightly, as if she didn't care about life and death, "Naturally, I'm asking for the protection of my husband. The girl once said that if there is anyone trustworthy in the world, it must be her husband. Qingliu is bold, come and try."

"Sir, don't..." Before Lu Buying finished speaking, Shen Yu raised her hand to interrupt him, and smiled at Qingliu: "Protecting an assassin is a death penalty, what reason do you have for me to take this risk? If Miss Qu is here, it will be natural There is no other way, but you are not her after all, and you are guilty of a felony."

Qingliu was obviously taken aback, but not annoyed, she smiled and said: "Sir, you really have a clear distinction between public and private, so it's just to fulfill the girl's wish, is this reason acceptable?"

Shen Yuxin took two steps back and forth, "It's a bit far-fetched, it's not so much your girl's wish, but your master's wish?" She paused, "Well, Ming people don't say dark words, since you have Please ask me, and you have no choice right now, I just want to know who your master is, how about we make an exchange?"

Unexpectedly, Qingliu immediately drew out a dagger, Lu Buying stepped forward to protect Shen Yuxin behind her, but seeing Qingliu slowly put the dagger on her neck, she was also stunned, but she still didn't dare to take it lightly.Only Qingliu said indifferently: "If Qingliu dies in Qingmo Academy, it will definitely bring a lot of trouble to sir."

Shen Yu's heart is like a mirror, and Qu Xixi refused to reveal a word even before she died. If Qingliu said it easily, wouldn't it be a waste of Qu Xixi's painstaking efforts?But Shen Yuxin was still hesitant. She might not be good at plotting and tricking, but she still had some confidence in controlling people's hearts.

Just when she seemed troubled and was weighing the pros and cons, Qingliu said again: "Although Qingliu can't speak, she has left the clues to Chen Guyue. If you have the heart, you will be able to guess one or two with your intelligence."

"What clue?"

Qingliu really said one thing and one thing, never two things, "Sir, if you have time, go ask Cai Xun and you will know."

Shen Yuxin stared at her for a while, then sighed softly, turned around and said, "Follow me."

"Sir!" Lu Buying was particularly anxious, knowing that not only Chen Guyue, but also His Majesty sent Qianniuwei to track down the whereabouts of this female assassin.There is no impenetrable wall in the palace, let alone the little servants in the courtyard have seen the female assassin, sooner or later the paper will not be able to contain the fire.

Shen Yuxin glanced at him indifferently, and asked: "You don't want to know who is behind the scenes? He is so bold that he assassinated the emperor and prince in court. How can such a cruel and merciless person be tolerated?"

There is some truth in what the master said, but after thinking about it, Lu Buying felt that something was wrong, and she couldn't tell what was wrong for a while.The three of them went all the way to Room 36 in silence. To be safe, Shen Yuxin placed Qingliu in Song Mingyue's original residence.He also used this to comfort Lu Buying, with you and me on both sides, not afraid that she will provoke a moth, Lu Buying can't laugh or cry.

Shen Yu thoughtfully sent Qingliu into the room, and then said: "I will ask Chun Nao to fetch water in a while, and my clothes should be barely wearable for the girl, so the girl will wash and change this body first, and call me in time if she feels unwell. If you can’t hear it, General Lu Lang next door can hear it too.”

Qingliu lay limp on the bed, obviously physically and mentally exhausted, she tried her best to whisper: "Don't worry, sir, Qingliu will not die."

Shen Yuxin was slightly taken aback, she didn't expect to be punctured by someone, she walked to the door silently, closed the door lightly, and said in a low voice: "Miss Qu's revenge, I will definitely avenge it, of course you can't die."

The door closed, and the corners of Qingliu's eyes dripped with warmth.

Shen Yuxin didn't go back to her room to rest, she instructed Lu Buying, and went to the imperial hospital alone.According to Qingliu's instructions, he took the wound medicine and came back, went back to the room again, Chun Nao carefully prepared clean water, washed up a bit, went to the next room to take a look at Lu Buying, and then went to the small courtyard.

She didn't dare to close her eyes, nor did she dare to stop, for fear that her quizzical voice and smile would take the opportunity to rob her. The string that was tense at the tip of her heart couldn't be broken, otherwise she wouldn't be able to keep that innocent red dress in the world.
