Death Princess

East Palace.

Qin Hui wiped off the sweat on his palms and stepped into the study. "Your Highness." Without looking up, he gave a deep salute to the direction where the host was sitting, not even knowing that there was no one seated there.

"Brother Qin, Qin Shaoqing has made a great contribution this time." He Yuxi walked out from the side of the room, came to Qin Hui's side, and patted him on the shoulder.

Qin Hui kept his eyebrows low and turned around to face He Yuxi's direction, and saluted again: "Your Highness will take care of you."

"Where can Gu take care of you, Qin Shaoqing? On the contrary, Gu, I have to thank you for your kind words in front of the emperor. After all, you are the one who found the man. As for Gu, until now, I haven't figured out what it is What's going on?" Qin Hui stared at Qin Hui's new official robe for a long time, raised his hand on Qin Hui's shoulder but did not put it down, "Brother Qin, why don't you tell me, how is the princess doing?" How did you find it?" The hand in mid-air hesitated, but in the end it just brushed the non-existent ashes on Qin Hui's official robe.

"Returning to Your Highness, regarding this matter, I..." Qin Hui seemed to be having trouble speaking, and lowered his head again, "This I am also at a loss."

"Oh?" He Yuxi raised his head after putting the whisk dust behind his back, "How do you say that?"

"That day... That day, I just settled down at the post station on the outskirts of Beijing according to the original itinerary. I planned to rest for one night, and returned to Beijing early the next morning to meet His Highness. How do you know?" Swallowing, "How do you know When Weichen arrived at the post station, a letter arrow was shot on the window sill of Weichen's room. As soon as Weichen took off the letter paper and read it, the arrow and the letter in Weichen's hand started to catch fire from the end. In a moment it burned down to nothing but charcoal. The letter, written on the letter paper, is an address."

"Weichen didn't know the meaning of this address at that time, until the news of Her Royal Highness's disappearance reached the post station..." He sneaked a look at He Yuxi's expression, but only saw a face that seemed to be smiling, "Weichen also just I made a random guess in my heart, I don't want to report it rashly to mislead His Highness, so I can only go to check the address on the paper alone at night, unexpectedly, I found Her Highness the Princess covered in bruises in that shabby hut."

He Yuxi let out a lukewarm voice again, and did not make any comments on Qin Hui's statement.

"By the way, A and C," Qin Hui suddenly raised his head as if grasping at a straw, "A and C should have seen the letter too, and when going to the address in the letter, he should follow behind Wei Chen, right? ?”

"Yes." A and C, indeed, his last report before being silenced was similar to what Qin Hui said.He Yuxi thought about it.If what they said is true, then who shot this letter arrow?More importantly, who did this kidnapping, and where did it come from?

"What about the matter of the Sword Sect?" He Yuxi temporarily put aside the matter, "Brother Qin, is it done?"

"This..." Qin Hui lowered his head again, "Jianzong's young lord was assassinated and died suddenly on the way to the meeting. From that moment on, Jianzong shut out all outsiders. What you meant was vaguely explained, but it was just... being dismissed by the Sect Master of the Sword Sect."

"What?"

"'Your Highness has no way of repaying your favor, so I have to share a piece of hearsay news with His Highness——The shadow sect master Jiang Tang is not the old master's son, he seems to be from a wealthy family in the capital.'"

"Jiang Tang? From the capital?" He Yuxi stroked his chin, carefully searching for the name in his memory.After a long time, he turned around and came to the side teahouse, while pouring himself a drink, he asked Qin Hui in a chatty tone, "Speaking of which, in terms of ancestral origin, Brother Qin, you are also from the capital, right? He waved his hand and signaled Qin Hui to sit over.

"Don't dare." Qin Hui sat across from him with kindness, and answered He Yuxi's question very simply, "Weichen is my father's posthumous son. He was born and raised in Jingzhou. He has never met my father. The capital. If it weren't for your highness, I would not be able to stand here, let alone return to the ancestral temple and serve as the young minister of Dali Temple as the only son of the Qin family."

"The only son of the Qin family." He Yuxi chewed these four words with great interest, "I just remember that back then, Master Wei, Minister Wei, seemed to have entered the official position as the adopted son of Qin Qing. Lord Wei was once the personal bodyguard of Uncle Ji, And Uncle Ji's mother concubine Qin Taifei is Qin Qing's younger sister." He raised his eyes, waiting for Qin Hui to answer.

Qin Hui did not disappoint him, "Your Highness remembers correctly. My father's bones are not cold yet." His face was dark, but he didn't know why. Ignoring the fetus in the womb, I directly recorded the personal bodyguard under my father's name..." Kacha, a crack appeared in the teacup held in the palm.Qin Hui's complexion changed, he knelt down and took a few steps back, bent down, "My minister..."

"Hey, hey," He Yuxi stopped Qin Hui's movements just right, "isn't it just a teacup? Others seem to be a bit rare and precious, but to Yu Gu, it's no different from that in the inn. Brother Qin doesn't need to Make a big fuss. As for what Brother Qin said just now, in the final analysis, it is also Brother Qin’s own family affairs. Who is Gu? How could he charge such absurd chatting as an offense against the royal family? How could there be no Some family matters, difficult matters, matters of the heart, matters of grievance? I understand alone, brother Qin can rest assured."

"Wei Chen..."

"Come, come," Qin Hui was interrupted again, "I'll toast Brother Qin with tea instead of wine, and celebrate Brother Qin's recent happiness."

……

Half an hour later, Qin Hui, who stepped out of the palace gate, rubbed his hands hidden in his sleeves uncomfortably.

Although it was an expedient measure in order not to lose the trust of the crown prince, Qin Hui said in his heart how uncomfortable it was to slander his father and mother who raised him with shit and urine like just now.

If little Lulu knows what she said in front of the prince today, if dad, who is His Royal Highness Prince Ji, knows, if A Niang, who is absolutely the best in the world when it comes to protecting weaknesses, knows...

On a rare sunny day in winter, Qin Hui shrank his neck and shivered under the bright sun.

. . .

At the same time, in the East Palace study.

"A ding!"

"Here!" A man in black whose face was completely different from Jia C, but whose inner face remained unchanged.

"I want you to check, but what did you find?"

"Yes!" After a reply, Jia Ding, or Shi Shi, moved closer to He Yuxi's ear.

moment.

"Are you sure?" He Yuxi's eyebrows were filled with hostility.

"It's true, I heard it with my own ears."

Hearing this unambiguous confirmation, He Yuxi was silent for a long time, his eyes did not know where to stop.After a long time, "You go down." After a pause, he added before the man in black disappeared, "Send someone to investigate the shadow sect master—Jiang Tang."

"Yes!" The black man disappeared.

Throwing the teacup on the table, He Yuxi stood up with a grim expression.

"Princess Six Fingers."

"Prince Ping mentioned Princess Liuzhi before His Majesty."

"He said that the person who kidnapped Her Royal Highness repeatedly questioned Princess Liuzhi."

The words heard from the mouth of the dark guard continued to circulate in He Yuxi's ears, and what was repeated at the same time was the spontaneously ignited letter paper and arrow in Qin Hui's mouth.

Well, you He Yupeng, you want to play such a play at the expense of yourself, and put Changping on the stage just to pull Gu out of the stage?Let the emperor know that he is alone in investigating Princess Liuzhi?Or do you want to force the father and emperor to attack Gu?Alright, if you are not benevolent, don't blame me for being unrighteous. It is time to let the emperor know about you and the cult.

. . .

In Xueming Valley, who lived in someone's yard only a few days ago, Yao Jingyu rolled on the couch frowning, her face was flushed red, but there was not a single drop of sweat on her body.

If it is said that sickness comes like a mountain fall and goes away like a silk thread, then the little Yao Jingyu is right in the middle of the mountain fall and the thread thread.After being forcibly awakened by Chao Bofan with spiritual power that day, she fell ill in the middle of the night without any symptoms.It wasn't a serious illness at first, and it happened to be in Xueming Valley where medicines were all available. A little cold was just a matter of sleeping for two or three days and drinking a few bowls of medicine.But Yao Jingyu's illness did not improve for a long time.

Regarding this, everyone in Xueming Valley, including Chao Lu and Han Shuangxue, had an unaccustomed attitude, and talked about some theories about Lingyu left and Lingyu right, in short, this disease is slowly coming to an end.However, Leng Tong, who was very harsh on Yao Jingyu in the past, changed his attitude for some reason, and stayed by Yao Jingyu's couch every day, feeding medicine, scrubbing, changing clothes by himself, eating and living with the little girl for several consecutive days. I didn't even step out of the yard every day.

Others may think that Leng Tong is showing great compassion and motherly love, but Zhao Lu doesn't think so.She knew that self-blaming and worrying about Yao Jingyu were on the one hand, and Leng Tong became like this, more because she was avoiding herself who lived under the same roof.Why can she be so sure, because even Chao Lu herself has been so busy looking for trouble these days, she just didn't step into the yard openly.

If you are far away, you will worry and miss; if you are close, you will avoid seeing it.Since when did the relationship between the two become so awkward?No, it should be said that the relationship between the two has always been extremely twisted, right?From the mutual killing eight years ago, to the mutual killing eight years later...

The bird that landed on the window sill seemed to shake its head and sighed, flapping its wings and leaping, leaving the quiet courtyard where Leng Tong was.

The bird went round and round in the valley and came to another room.

"If you want to see it, you can go and have a look yourself," Han Shuangxue yawned while sitting on the reclining chair, "It's so sneaky, even the birds use it when Chestnut is gone."

"Hmm." Sitting on the deck chair on the other side, Zhao Lu was eating melon seeds as if she had never heard of it.

Are you going to meet me?How do I see you?How can we not talk about those when we meet?Before taking any step, the big mountains, rivers and ravines between the two must be resolved first.

With a slap, Zhaolu slapped off the melon seed pita that she had just put together with great effort.

Besides, Leng Tong's attitude that day was clearly...
