As soon as Qiao Xie left, the matter of meeting the elders naturally fell through.

Back home, facing Lin's questioning, Guan Xiaoxian could only dodge it, making the two elders happy, and secretly decided to bring Qiaoxie home next time, but he didn't expect that in the next few days , he didn't even meet Qiao Xie.

Qiao Xie's whereabouts became a mystery again, not only was she nowhere to be seen in the palace, but even when she went to Qiao's mansion to inquire, she couldn't get any news.

After staying in Qiao's mansion for two nights without waiting for Qiao Xie, Guan Qingxian thought of asking Hei Shou, but was told that Hei Shou had not been at the mansion for a few days.

Before I was honest and honest, I could see him almost every day, and then suddenly disappeared... Guan Xiaoxian felt as if he had jumped into the plot of a bitter drama—could it be ten years later, he was alone A bloody plot of encountering Qiao Xie by chance, and the other party's wives and concubines are full of children and grandchildren, right?

Thinking of this, Guan Xiaoxian felt a chill, and hurriedly shook his head to drive away the unrealistic thoughts in his mind. When he looked up, the cool morning sun had already filled Yudao.

Guan Xiaoxian stood behind the half-person-high palace lantern, cheered up and looked at the palace gate not far away.

After a while, a familiar figure appeared at the gate of the palace, Guan Xiaoxian cheered up, rushed to meet him, and exclaimed in surprise:

"His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince!"

"Guan Gaoren?" Jing Xi saw Guan Qingxian standing on the imperial road from a distance, and seeing him walking quickly at this moment, he couldn't help being a little puzzled, "Are you waiting for me?"

"Yes, Josh..."

Guan Xiaoxian opened his mouth, but he hesitated when the words came to his lips.

He originally wanted to ask Jing Xi about Qiao Xie's recent situation, but when he saw the other party, he suddenly felt that it was a bit inappropriate - Qiao Xie explained the secret to him, but Jing Xi might not know it, let alone agree, if he asked rashly , Will it affect the relationship between the two?In case Jing Xi becomes dissatisfied with Qiao Xie because of this...

Although Xiaoxian's hesitation was clearly written on his face, Jingxi heard him mention Qiaoxie's name again, and after a little thought, he understood it, and said in an understanding way:

"You came to me to ask where Qiao Xie is now?"

Guan Xiaoxian was startled, and subconsciously looked at Jing Xi, seeing that his expression was not worried, so he nodded honestly:

"Yes."

Qiao Xie has never deliberately hidden Jing Xi's feelings for Guan Xiaoxian, so Jing Xi has long regarded Guan Xiaoxian as one of her own, and only glanced around for a while, and when she saw no one around, she whispered to Guan Xiaoxian :

"Actually, I don't know his current whereabouts."

"so……"

Guan Qingxian was a little disappointed when he heard the words, but Jing Xi changed the subject and said immediately:

"However, in the court recently, people from the Queen's Party and my third brother suddenly became tough, and Qiao Xie was secretly sent by the emperor at this time. I had a vague premonition, so I asked people to ask, and I heard some interesting things."

As Jing Xi said, she stared directly at Guan Xiaoxian with her bright eyes, obviously asking him to ask.

Guan Xiaoxian was also aroused by his curiosity, so he asked cooperatively:

"What did you find out?"

"Shh!"

Covering most of her face with her fan, Jing Xi leaned close to Guan Xiaoxian's ear and said mysteriously:

"There are rumors that the remnant of the former dynasty—that is, the self-proclaimed General Longwei of the Yu Dynasty, somehow subdued a group of thieves and became his subordinates. He has sneaked into the capital a few days ago and is entrenched in the Xishan Temple on the outskirts——Xishan Temple It is the Imperial Temple, which has been managed by the empress all these years, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter, so the relationship between people is barren. If it weren't for the master of the state teacher to spread the eyeliner, I am afraid I would not have known it so early. The most important thing in Beijing recently is this One thing, I think his trip should be related to this."

"...The previous dynasty?"

As early as halfway through hearing it, Guan Xiaoxian's eyes widened in panic, half because he thought of the danger of Qiao Xie's trip, and the other half because... it really doesn't matter if he leaked such important information to an unknown person like him. Your Royal Highness? !

Guan Xiaoxian, who was exposed to important family and country affairs for the first time, looked at Jing Xi awkwardly.

Jing Xi only thought that he was worried about Qiao Xie, so she comforted her:

"Don't worry, this kind of thing is a piece of cake for Qiao Xie. But... this matter is very important, as long as you know it, don't disclose it to others."

"understand!"

Guan Xiaoxian let out a deep breath.

After parting from Jingxi, Guan Xiaoxian went straight back to the guard room on duty, and went straight to the kitchen after entering the courtyard.

As soon as he entered the door, Fuxi, who was buried in the stove, raised his head vigilantly. Seeing that Guan was idle, Fuxi dropped the dishes in surprise and greeted him:

"apprentice!"

Guan Xiaoxian agreed casually, but before he had time to say anything, Fuxi had already run in front of him with a very concerned expression.

"Apprentice, where have you been a few days ago?"

Hearing this, Guan Xiaoxian felt a little warm in his heart, so he reached out and touched his hairy head, and replied, replied:

"It's okay...I rested at home for a few days."

Fuxi looked at Guan Xiaoxian's slightly tired expression, nodded, deeply convinced:

"Such a big thing happened before, so it's time to take a good rest. Even Joe, Commander Qiao hasn't shown up for several days."

As Fuxi said, she turned her face uncomfortably, for fear that her disciples would see that something was wrong.

Guan Xiaoxian didn't pay attention to his awkward expression, and when he heard Fuxi mention Qiao Xie, his mind was drawn away again, and he leaned on the stove and looked at the empty pot in silence.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong with Guan Xiaoxian, Fu Xi went back to the chopping board and quickly chopped vegetables. The sound of "boom bang" continued in the kitchen for a while. He looked up and saw Guan Xiaoxian still standing in front of him, not moving at all. Do not move.

The apprentice must have been frightened by what happened before, right?

Fuxi was a little worried, and asked while chopping vegetables, "Apprentice, what are you thinking?"

"nothing……"

Although Xiao Xian was naturally thinking about Qiao Xie, but he couldn't express it, the worry was suffocating in his heart, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he felt——

The other party is the remnant of the previous dynasty, who provoked Bei Rong to attack the border!I don't know how many people Qiao Xie brought, and whether he can successfully capture that General Longwei...

Cooperating with the rhythmic beeping sound coming from behind, Guan Xiaoxian subconsciously chanted his thoughts:

"What General Dragon and Tiger... must be a vicious thief leader."

When Fuxi, who was buried in the stove, heard the words, a portrait suddenly appeared in his mind, and he retorted subconsciously: "No, he's just an ordinary old man."

Guan Xiaoxian subconsciously said, "How do you know?"

"Dangdang!"

A crisp sound came from behind him, Guan Xiaoxian turned his head, only to see Fuxi standing blankly by the stove, with a flustered expression, and a sharp knife covered in vegetable juice lying beside his feet.

"Know what?"

Fu Xi didn't blink his eyes, but his trembling voice revealed his true emotions.

Under Guan Xiaoxian's surprised gaze, he forced himself to pick up the kitchen knife and put it back on the table. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the water basin, quickly picked it up, turned around and walked towards the door, saying as he walked:

"I'm going to fetch some water..."

"Fuxi!"

Guan Xiaoxian yelled, seeing that Fuxi not only kept walking, but walked even faster, he felt guilty no matter how he looked at it.

Before he had time to think, Guan Xiaoxian hurriedly got up and chased after him. Just as he stepped out of the kitchen door, he happened to see Fuxi sprinting out of the Imperial Guard's duty room, and the dark blue clothes were out of his sight in the blink of an eye.

Guan Qingxian didn't care about other things, and quickly trotted to follow, walking non-stop, while thinking quickly in his heart——

How could Fuxi, a young eunuch in the deep palace, know the appearance of the rebellious party in the previous dynasty?There must be something here, I have to tell Qiao Xie quickly... No, Qiao Xie is now investigating the former government's rebellion...

There were many thoughts in his mind, and Fuxi was running fast again. Guan Xiaoxian lost track of Fuxi when he didn't pay attention. He had to stop, look around, and found himself standing in an empty garden, with nothing but Trees and flowers, is a rockery.

Fuxi has disappeared.

With the breeze blowing, Guan Xiaoxian's excited heartbeat gradually returned to normal. Looking at the empty garden, he felt that his thoughts just now might be a bit arbitrary.

It can't just be concluded that Fuxi is related to the remnants of the previous dynasty. After all, Fuxi is only a teenager, so what connection can he have with the previous dynasty that has been destroyed for decades?Maybe it was only through hearsay that he would know about General Longwei...

There was a battle between heaven and man in his mind, Guan Qingxian suddenly heard a strange noise, as if the two were arguing with their voices lowered.

For a moment, the hairs stood on end, Guan Xiaoxian looked around vigilantly, and finally his eyes fell on the rockery in front of him.

Guan Xiaoxian had passed by this rockery several times before, and went in with Fuxi to explore it on a whim, so he wasn't too frightened by the situation, now he only hesitated a little, then found the entrance, and walked in lightly .

As soon as you enter the rockery, the tall strange rocks block the sunlight, and all you can see are gray rocks of different shades, and even the sky above your head seems to be restricted by the rocks, making it seem out of reach.

There are not many roads in the rockery, so it is not easy to get lost. The only thing that attracts attention is probably its narrowness and concealment. If people hide inside, it is difficult to see from the outside.

Groping in such a narrow and phonetic trail, Guan Xiaoxian was more excited about adventure than a little nervous.

Judging from the constantly ringing voices, the two people who were arguing were not far away from him, so Guan Xiaoxian didn't rush in, and after entering the rockery, he walked towards the source of the sound lightly.Hearing that the sound was getting louder, and he was getting closer and closer to the source of the sound, Guan Xiaoxian put all his energy into it, not daring to be careless at all.

When he came to a corner, he could finally discern what the other person was talking about, so Guan Xiaoxian stopped, and cautiously poked his head out to take a look, and two dark blue shadows, one big and one small, suddenly came into view. At the same time, Fuxi's crying sound came to Guan Xiaoxian's ears——

"How can I drug him again!"

Cold sweat instantly covered Guan Xiaoxian's forehead, and he reflexively took a step back, holding his breath, not daring to breathe.

In the twists and turns of the path, only Fuxi's sobs could be heard endlessly.

At this moment, Guan Xiaoxian only felt that his brain was extremely chaotic, but his ears were sensitive to catch the sound behind the corner.

After Fuxi, the other person finally spoke, but what fell into Guan Qingxian's ears was a shrill and unpleasant voice——

"The poison and medicine you lost last time almost killed Concubine Lan, which has already caused trouble for the general. If you don't find a chance to kill him now, he will immediately bring thousands of troops to Xishan Temple and kill me. General Chao will be completely wiped out... Do you think you can survive with your identity?"

"But..." Fuxi's voice was full of reluctance, "But he is my apprentice's wife after all..."

Guan Xiaoxian's ears were still catching important information, but when he heard the word "sister-in-law", his heart skipped a beat.

Sister-in-law...Fuxi said, it must be Qiao Xie!What about poison and medicine, and Empress Lan... Could it be the glass of poisoned wine at the Midnight Banquet? !

In an instant, an invisible thread connected all these clues in Guan Qingxian's mind, and the truth was obvious.

Guan Xiaoxian covered his mouth abruptly, not caring about what the two of them said next, he stepped back step by step, for fear that any noise would alarm the two conspiring inside.

I don't know how long it took, and finally got away from the dangerous corner, thinking that the two of them still didn't notice anything, Guan Xiaoxian turned around ecstatically and was about to run wildly, when suddenly his eyes went dark, and the severe pain came to his mind only later .

Powerlessly slumped on the ground, Guan Xiaoxian finally saw the appearance of the assailant——

A plain face filled his field of vision.

However, it was too late, and the consciousness was separated from the body a little bit.

Unwillingly closing his eyes for the last second, Guan Xiaoxian's last thought was——

Brother, you stood outside early, don't let me in, can you?
