Chapter 90

"If Emperor Qin wants to form an alliance with me, Daxi, he should speak to our majesty. Why did you come here to ask me, a mere crown prince?"

Qin Guanyue looked at him as usual, "Or does Emperor Qin think I have the ability to make His Majesty listen to me?"

"If the young master thinks, it must be possible."

Wei Shengjin looked at her with a smile, "It's good that Xiao Mingyang will deal with Da Qin first, but when Da Qin falls, she will deal with Da Xi."

"Could it be that Daqin will have nothing to do with the world before Xiang falls?"

"It's not impossible to divide the Canglan together."

"yes."

Qin Guanyue showed innocence, "But how did I hear that Emperor Qin was ambitious and wanted to be the Lord of the Canglan?"

Wei Shengjin narrowed his eyes slightly, "Who said that? Xiao Mingyang? Do you believe her?"

Qin Guanyue didn't answer.

Wei Shengjin felt that she was acquiescing, and immediately smiled, "A person like Xiao Mingyang is willing to do anything for power, even brothers and sisters of the same mother and compatriots. She will use any means to achieve her goal. "

Qin Guanyue chuckled, "Isn't Emperor Qin?"

Weisheng didn't expect her to react like this, so he didn't answer for a moment.

Before he could react, Qin Guanyue turned around and left.

Li Xuanxi glanced casually at Wei Shengjin, and followed him.

"Do I look nice?"

Qin Guanyue smiled sarcastically as she walked, "You actually came to threaten me."

It happened that Li Xuanxi who was present was not Xiao Mingyang, she actually nodded and said, "You are very kind."

"..."

Qin Guanyue turned her head to look at her, "On purpose?"

Li Xuanxi shook his head innocently, and then said seriously, "You saved more people at the Tianxia Festival than I killed."

Qin Guanyuexin said, what a terrible metaphor this is...

Li Xuanxi seemed to want to say something, but turned to look at the black and white boy behind her, and suddenly said, "I'm going back to Daxia."

Qin Guanyue could hear a bit of reluctance from her words.

"How many days will you stop playing?"

"No, I have work to do."

"In a hurry?"

"Ah."

Li Xuanxi suddenly smiled, "I'm leaving the day after tomorrow, can you come see me off?"

Qin Guanyue smiled, "Okay."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a commotion not far away, and occasionally heard the sound of swords and swords.

Xiao Sheng went forward to inquire, and when he came back, he frowned slightly, "An assassin broke into the bedroom of Longquan Palace. It seems that something was caught. The guards in the palace are looking for the assassin."

Qin Guanyue's heart skipped a beat, for some reason, she subconsciously thought of Yue Wentian who was not present today.

The more she thought about it, the more worried she became, even her eyelids started to twitch, and she picked up the hem of her clothes and walked forward quickly.

Seeing this, Xiao Sheng immediately followed.

Li Xuanxi watched them hurry away, exhaled slowly, and asked, "Is there any news from Daxia?"

"No news yet."

After hesitating for a moment, the fair-skinned boy persuaded, "Pavilion Master, the elder urged us to return the painting earlier."

Li Xuanxi looked back at him, his eyes were full of cold killing intent, not at all innocent like usual, "When will I let you reveal that I got the painting?"

Bai Hu felt cold all over, and knelt down, "Pavilion Master forgive me!"

Li Xuanxi looked at him coldly, "If I want to kill you two, no one can stop me."

"……Yes."

Li Xuanxi glanced at him lightly, and left with the scroll on his back.

And Qin Guanyue rushed all the way to the bedroom of Longquan Palace, where Lou Binghe led people surrounded.

"Your Majesty, the assassin was shot in the right shoulder and did not reveal his identity. He must have deliberately taken advantage of Ling Yunqi's call to ask the king's platform, and sneaked in secretly when the guards in the sleeping hall were empty."

"You don't need to capture him alive, kill him." Ning Zhao said with a gloomy expression.

Lou Binghe glanced at his expression, then turned around and led a search.

Seeing this, Qin Guanyue immediately stopped and hid behind the palace gate, and said to Xiao Sheng, "Go to Qilin Hall to see if Yue Wentian is there."

Xiao Sheng nodded, turned and left immediately.

Longquan Palace has three halls, front, middle, and rear. The front hall is the imperial court, the middle hall is the emperor’s bedroom, and the back hall is the favored concubine. There are four gates in the front and back. It is forbidden for outsiders to break into the palace, so assassins can only be insiders, and their residences are set within the four and eight gates, and there are three residences in this area.

Harem, the residence of concubines and underage princes; Guozijian, the study place for the princes and princesses and the children of princes and marquises; Li Pavilion, the residence of foreign envoys and their proton princesses, that is, the residence of the empress Longnv and others.

No matter how careful the assassin was, there was no time to cover up the bloodstains left along the way. Lou Binghe soon found a few tiny drops of bloodstains on the road one day.

He looked up at the place where the road led to, frowned slightly, "Imperial College..."

Sun Chu also wondered, "Could it be a trick of the suspicious soldiers?"

Lou Binghe shook his head, "The troops are divided into three groups, you and Hong Qi will search the harem and Li Pavilion."

"Yes!"

Qin Guanyue watched the three leave separately, and followed Lou Binghe quietly.

Compared with the harem and the Li Pavilion, the Guozijian is closer to the sleeping palace, but no bloodstains were found along the way until they saw the two players playing chess at the gate of the Guozijian.

One of them, known to Qin Guanyue, was the bell sacrifice wine that was offered at the Son of Heaven Festival that day, while the other was a young man she had never seen before, only seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a blue-patterned blouse with a white background, There is no pendant on his body, only a blood jade pendant around his waist is quite eye-catching, even if he saw Lou Binghe, he didn't get up from the stone bench.

Although Qin Guanyue couldn't see the other person's appearance clearly, she guessed that he should be a student of the Imperial College, but Lou Binghe's movements showed that the other person's identity was unusual.

"The bell offers wine, Mr. Wen San."

Mr. Wen San...

Qin Guanyue felt that the name was familiar at the first glance, but she couldn't remember where she had heard it before. While thinking about it, Lou Binghe had already explained the purpose of coming to the two of them.

Zhong Jijiu squinted his eyes and looked at the person coming for a long time before asking, "Who are you looking for?! There is no class today!"

Lou Binghe's eyelids twitched slightly, and he said patiently, "I'm coming down to track down the assassin."

Zhong Jijiu waved again and again, "No class today!"

"..."

Lou Binghe gave up communicating with this old man, and turned to look at the one next to him, "I wonder if Mr. Wen San saw any suspicious people passing by?"

The young man in white turned around, revealing a face like a scholar's. There was nothing surprising in looking at it, but nothing wrong with it, except for those eyes, which were warm and profound.

Hearing the words, he first asked, "I don't know what the characteristics of that person are?"

Lou Binghe replied, "Wearing a servant's costume, he is slender, half a head shorter than me, he should be a man, his face is covered with white silk, and his right shoulder is injured."

"I have entered the palace since the hour of Chen, and entered the Imperial College. It is now near noon. I have been playing chess with Mr. Zhong here. I only saw three or five maids in the palace going east through this place a quarter ago. I have never seen the general. as described."

The third son of Wen pointed to the Wenxuan Pavilion behind them, "If you have doubts, general, you can go and have a look."

Lou Binghe glanced at the clock offering wine, and asked people to enter Wenxuan Pavilion to search, while he stood where he was.

Qin Guanyue looked at it and felt that Lou Binghe was really cautious, and even thought of the possibility of diverting the tiger away from the mountain, and it also showed that he did not trust the young man in front of him very much.

The young man named Wen San didn't mind, he just sat down and continued the chess game. The censer on the stone table exuded a touch of sandalwood, and above his head was a lush locust tree as thick as a person. Refreshing and poetic.

Those who were arrested soon returned, saying they found nothing.

Lou Binghe scanned the pavilion with heavy eyes, then bid farewell to the two and left.

Qin Guanyue waited for Lou Binghe to walk away before slowly walking towards those two people.

Before she could speak, Zhong Jijiu, who was deaf and blind just now, saw her at a glance and smiled wrinkled all over his face, "Xiaobai, come and give me a five-petal cake?"

Qin Guanyue continued, "I forgot it today, but I will send it to you tomorrow."

"I know how to lie to the old man."

Zhong Jijiu muttered, turned around and went back to Wenxuan Pavilion with the jug in hand.

Qin Guanyue watched him leave, then immediately turned around and went behind the big locust tree.

Yue Wentian leaned precariously against the tree, his face pale, one hand covering his bleeding shoulder, the moment he saw her, he even lowered the corners of his mouth, and then fell down violently.
