Chapter 54 Superficial cooperation (2)

Being blocked by Fu Guan, it would be impossible for Lou Xiyue to go back and find Qiu Zhi.Since the owner of the seal cannot be found for a while, let's try to figure out another matter first.

She asked: "I have already told the prince everything I know, so should the prince also tell me the progress of the investigation of the assassin? Anyway, I am also a victim of this matter and have the right to know the truth of the matter. "

"Having said that, Dali Temple has its own rules in handling cases. Before the ins and outs are clarified, no clues can be revealed to outsiders." Fu Guandao: "I'm sorry, ma'am."

Lou Xiyue narrowed her eyes slightly: "As long as I clarify the purpose of this trip, tell me the identity of the assassin. You said that."

She has seen a lot of people crossing rivers and demolishing bridges, but this is the first time she has seen this kind of "broken contract" in person.

It's a bit shameless.

She said: "Don't you feel ashamed to deceive my little girl like this?"

"Why did I promise you like this?" Fu Guan said: "Ma'am, I misunderstood. This king just wants you to clear yourself of suspicion, so as not to get burned."

He smiled again, and said: "Madam, don't be angry. It's for your own good that I don't tell you. I'm afraid there may be a lot of involvement behind this assassination case. The less Madam knows, the better."

Concern is one aspect, but it is more important. However, Fu Guan did not believe Lou Xiyue's words.

He's not a fool, he trusts the new concubine completely based on the words of the new princess. If he is really unsuspecting, he won't have to mess around in the capital in the future.

"Ban Xiyu" lied before, who knows how many of the words she said just now are true?
He didn't mind the new princess lying to him.

She was unfamiliar with the place when she first arrived in the capital, so she was right to be vigilant all the time.Fu Guan also understood her distrust.

But such a person, to him, is an unpredictable variable after all.

He couldn't determine the true purpose of "Ban Xiyu". He didn't know whether it was an enemy or a friend, good or evil, so how could he reveal the key clues to her?

If she bites back in the future, she will regret it.

But Lou Xiyue doesn't care whether he believes it or not, she just thinks that Fu Guan is not trustworthy.If she hadn't kept an eye out, she would have been cheated of the news in vain at this moment.

She smiled on the skin: "Really? Then I would like to thank the prince for his concern and love."

Lou Xiyue thought to herself, if today's plan fails, she has to find another way.

After returning to the palace for a while, try to get Yunzhi to go outside to inquire about some information, and perhaps get some useful clues.

but……

She glanced at Fu Guan, and said: "Since the prince has other business here, I won't bother you. I'll go back to my residence and say goodbye."

After Lou Xiyue finished speaking, she was about to leave, but Fu Guan stopped her: "Wait a minute. Madam is going back like this, I don't feel at ease, let Xuan Miao send Madam back.

"Otherwise, if Madam suddenly gets up in the middle of the journey and wants to go to some other restaurant to join in the fun, then I don't know where to go to find someone."

Lou Xiyue turned her head abruptly, took a fixed look at Fu Guan, and pointedly said: "My lord is really thoughtful."

"It should." Fu Guan raised his arm slightly, and immediately called out: "Xuan Miao, come here. You go and accompany—"

Xuan Miao was about to answer, but before the two could finish speaking, a scream came from the wing room not far away:
"Killed, killed, quick, quick help!—"

While shouting, a middle-aged man in dark green clothes ran out of the wing.He looked terrified, with blood on his body, and Wenya's face was full of horror:

"Come on, come on, catch the assassin!—"

Unexpectedly, Fu Guan's voice stopped abruptly.He winked at Xuan Miao, Xuan Miao understood, and immediately chased after him.

Lou Xiyue and Fu Guan glanced at each other, they rushed forward without saying anything unnecessary.

Several people approached and saw the person calling for help, Fu Guan was surprised for a moment, and then said: "Master Qiu, why are you so panicked?"

Hearing this, Lou Xiyue's eyes immediately changed.

Lord Qiu?
Could it be the Qiu Zhi she was looking for?

She had doubts in her heart, so she quietly fell behind, and quietly looked at "Lord Qiu" in front of her.

I saw that the other party's body was somewhat elegant, with good facial features, medium stature, and a black mole on the left eyebrow.Even so, his appearance is really too ordinary, he is the kind of character who will disappear immediately when thrown into the crowd.

Qiu Zhi was still frightened at first, but when he saw Fu Guan, he immediately calmed down.He said: "It turned out to be King Xuanping. The prince came just in time, hurry up, someone is going to kill me, the prince save me!"

Fu Guan: "Xuan Miao has already gone after the assassin, Master Qiu, don't worry. It's just that it's so good, how could the assassin come here? What happened?"

Qiu Zhi: "Oh, how would I know this. I just went to the Xiangming Tea House to have a drink as usual, but I didn't know that a cold sword stabbed at me as soon as I entered the room. If it wasn't for the attendants around me who blocked me After a while, it was me who fell there right now!"

Fu Guan: "In this way, what happened today is really a disaster..."

Qiu Zhi put on a bitter face: "Who says it's not. The prince has to investigate this matter carefully, and it can be regarded as seeking justice for my entourage."

While speaking, there was a sudden commotion in Jasmine Hall ahead.

The original lively singing and dancing sound disappeared suddenly, and some people even scolded:

"Get out of the way, get out of the way! The government is handling the case, and you won't get out of the way!"

"Take down all these people! At the feet of the Son of Heaven, a majestic publicity official came to this smoky place to have fun, what a shame!"

"My lord, there seems to be someone calling for help in the courtyard at the back, it seems that there is a murder case."

"Let's go and have a look."

While speaking, this group of people was in a hurry, and immediately broke into Zhaohui Qiulu head-on.This breakthrough happened to meet Fu Guan and the others face to face.

The leading official stopped in his tracks: "Oh? Why is King Xuanping here?"

He glanced around, and suddenly sneered and said: "Your Highness is very happy to be married, so you don't want to spend time with the new Princess at home, but you come to the Fragrant Tea House to sleep with flowers and sleep in willows.

"Hmph, doesn't the prince know that there is a law announced that all court officials are not allowed to have sex with prostitutes openly in brothels, otherwise, they will be punished as crimes!"

The man said again: "Although I am only a little Jingzhaoyin, thanks to the emperor's favor, I dare not break the law. If the prince really misbehaved, then I can only take him down and send him to the holy majesty for a proper trial." First trial."

Hearing this, Fu Guan immediately stopped and said, "Master Xue, this is really a big misunderstanding. The king is actually here on business. It is because there was an assassin at Princess Anning's Huayue Banquet, and the king was investigating clues, so I went all the way to investigate. I came to the Fragrant Tea House. I didn’t come here for drinking and having fun.”

"Really?" Master Xue looked at the other people present again: "That is my misunderstanding. However, the rest of the people here have no business to wait for, come here and take them down one by one!"

Qiu Zhi immediately shouted: "Hey, wait, it has nothing to do with me! I'm just here to drink a bowl of wine. Besides, I was almost injured by an assassin just now. If you want to take it, you shouldn't take me!"

The chasing servants got the order, and immediately went forward to arrest Lou Xiyue.

Lou Xiyue's eyebrows turned cold, she threw off her sleeves and said, "Presumptuous, I am Princess Xuanping, how can you arrest me?!"

 I didn't get up early today.Definitely next time, hmm.
