Chapter 98 The Darkness Under the Lights

In the palace, Xia Wuyou stared at the protector of the country whom he personally conferred in front of him, waiting for her response.

In fact, she naturally knew about the relationship between Murong Jianqiu and Gu Cheng, otherwise she would not have recruited this person into the palace.

It's a pity that although the plan was not bad, it was because of this person that Gu Cheng came, but even the Eight Great Gods did not keep this person, which made her feel a little surprised.

Therefore, she could only ask as the only person who met Gu Cheng and was very likely to know the details.

Without waiting for Murong Jianqiu to speak, Feng who was standing by the side immediately said: "Your Majesty, just now when we found Lord Juggernaut, she was having sex with the thief who sneaked into the palace. I think that Murong Juggernaut is no longer suitable for the job." Your majesty's guard."

Xia Wuyou was startled when he heard the words, looked at the silent Murong Jianqiu in disbelief and asked, "Is what Feng said true?"

Seeing this, Murong Jianqiu knew that he could no longer give in at this time, so he could only say: "Return to Your Majesty, what Feng said is not bad, but there is something hidden in this matter. As for Jianqiu's position, His Majesty can dispose of it as he pleases. Qiu absolutely has no objection."

Although it is not clear why the Empress would look at Gu Cheng differently, but now that the matter has come to an end, it is useless for her to shrink back.

And seeing her so calm, Xia Wuyou also calmed down instantly.

Although I was surprised by this matter, it was just a surprise.

The grievances between myself and that guy will eventually be settled with him, but it is meaningless to implicate others.

After figuring this out, Xia Wuyou waved his hand slightly, and said to Murong Jianqiu: "Miss Murong, you are overthinking, I will not doubt my employment, and I will not doubt it, you can rest assured to do your job well."

Hearing what the Empress said, Murong Jianqiu naturally did not have His Majesty to continue to resist.

After all, a mere hundred years is almost a lifetime for ordinary people, but for me, it is just a snap of the fingers.

It is naturally a very good deal to be able to use one's own hundred years in exchange for the court's support for Tianjianzong.

Therefore, if she was not in a desperate situation, she would not take the initiative to resign.

Glancing at the queen again, Murong Jianqiu cupped his hands slightly and said in a deep voice, "Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty."

Seeing that Her Majesty still trusts Murong Jianqiu so much, Feng immediately became anxious, and quickly said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it doesn't fit..."

"Okay, I've made up my mind, so there's no need to say more. If Miss Murong wants to be unfavorable to me, there are many opportunities before."

Even though he knew that the Queen's words were the art of an emperor, Murong Jianqiu still felt a feeling of being trusted, and his heart was a little hot.

Thinking of the information Gu Cheng told him earlier, Murong Jianqiu's heart moved slightly, he looked at the queen and said, "Your Majesty, I have a confidential matter to report."

It seems that he didn't expect Murong Jianqiu to say that suddenly, but Xia Wuyou was a little interested, and looked at the other party curiously: "Oh, what confidential matter?"

Murong Jianqiu looked left and right, especially when his eyes paused on Feng Hua Xue Yue, Chun Xia Qiu Dong eight people, the meaning was obvious.

After understanding what Murong Jianqiu meant, Xia Wuyou shook his head slightly, looked back at the eight people who had been guarding him, and signaled the eight people to perform their duties.

Seeing this, the eight gods headed by Feng all stared at Murong Jianqiu, and then all hid in the dark place again.

After the figures of the eight people disappeared in front of her eyes, Xia Wuyou smiled and said: "Okay, there is no one now, so we should be able to talk?"

Murong Jianqiu's heart moved, she could feel that there seemed to be several auras locked on her in the dark at this moment, as if as soon as she had a sign of making a move, several people would attack immediately.

But these don't matter to her, after all, she has no intention of assassinating the queen.

Seeing that there were only himself and the empress left around, Murong Jianqiu let out a sigh of relief, and then approached the empress again, and said softly: "Your Majesty, you must be careful of the empress dowager..."

……

In the mist and morning light, the day's life began again.

The ancestors have lived in the southwest corner of the Great Xia Imperial Capital for generations, and the door of Old Man Li's house, the first one in Qingshui Street, was smashed and banged early in the morning.

"Dong dong dong... open the door, open the door quickly..."

Soon, an old man with white hair walked out tremblingly from the room, leaning on a cane, came to the wooden door, pulled the latch, and opened the door.

Immediately, a group of rude men dressed as servants poured in from outside, and cursed as soon as they came in: "You old dog won't open the door for a long time, believe it or not, the old man demolished your broken door!"

The old man was not afraid to panic when he saw this gang of government minions who looked like bandits, but asked tremblingly: "Why are the servants free to come to the little old man's house? Could there be something?"

The officer in charge seemed to know the old man, so he didn't care about it, he just said casually: "There are assassins in the palace, the masters are ordered to search for assassins, do you think you should search your house yourself, or should we search for you?"

When it came to the help word, the leading man deliberately emphasized his tone.

Old man Li's expression turned bitter when he heard the words, and his old face, which was already full of wrinkles, was so twitching that he couldn't see it now, and said in a trembling tone, "Can't we not search?"

The vicious man in the head immediately changed his face when he heard the words, and said angrily: "Stop talking nonsense, the master has a lot of things to do, after searching your house, you have to search other people's house!"

Old man Li was taken aback by being scolded by this life, and quickly said: "We search by ourselves, search by ourselves."

After finishing speaking, he felt out of nowhere a thing wrapped in several layers of cloth, tremblingly ready to untie it.

It's a pity that before he could untie it, he was snatched by a big hand, he weighed it in his hand, and said with a satisfied smile: "In this case, you can search your house yourself, and the gentlemen don't care. "

Then, under old man Li's painful gaze, the group of people went out again.

Old man Li sighed. Although he was robbed of some money, he also avoided the mess at home caused by these people.

Of course, the most important thing is that the daughter-in-law who is hiding at home has not been molested by this group of people, and it is all a disaster.

But just as he turned back to the backyard and was about to let his hidden daughter-in-law and son out, he saw a young man dressed in white who looked like an exiled immortal appearing in the backyard.

Meanwhile, his daughter-in-law and son were standing beside this person, holding a fist-sized luminous pearl in each hand.

"Old man, if I bother you, these two beads will be fully compensated."
