The whole family was wiped out?The treacherous minister turned around and cooed at me

Chapter 11 He asked her to go
Faced with Yan Xu'an's calmness, Zhao Ziyu was obviously a little surprised. Although he was far away in Huangsha City, he also had his spies in the Imperial City. Zhao Ziyu knew almost everything Yan Xu'an did.

In Zhao Ziyu's eyes, it was absolutely impossible for a person like him who was going to be powerful to expose his weakness to others. He didn't quite understand Yan Xu'an's intention, but he didn't ask again.

Then Zhao Ziyu changed the topic and took the initiative to step aside and said with a smile: "Look at me, I'm meeting the Prime Minister for the first time. I'm a little too excited. Come! Prime Minister, please take a seat!"

After saying that, he turned sideways slightly, and Yan Xu'an was not polite and walked towards the empty seat beside him. Qin Shuangjiang followed him. The moment he passed Zhao Ziyu, she lowered her eyes subconsciously, but she could still I felt the unusual look in the other person's eyes.

Sitting next to Yan Xu'an, Qin Shuangjiang took the heavy wine flask from the maid next to him and took the initiative to help him pour wine.

In addition to Yan Xu'an and Qin Shuangjiang, there were Qin Zhiyun and Zhao Huaian who were walking behind. The banquet officially started after the couple came in and exchanged greetings with Zhao Ziyu.

At the banquet, there was singing and dancing. The people who came to attend the reception banquet were all dignitaries from the eastern capital. They almost took turns to come forward to toast Zhao Ziyu. There were also many people who wanted to take this opportunity to get close to Yan Xu An, but without exception, they all He was stopped by Jiang Hai, Yan Xu'an's personal bodyguard, who was waiting aside. He could only smile and leave in despair.

Of course, there are wise people who know that Yan Xu'an never likes toasts from others, so he just stood there and nodded at him, and Yan Xu'an almost nodded in response.

In the middle of the banquet, when Qin Shuangjiang put down the wine bottle in his hand, his eyes turned to look at Zhao Ziyu who was surrounded by people. The surroundings were noisy, and the music was mixed with the rustling of voices.

At this time, Yan Xu'an's deep voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "The palace where he rests is the third room at the end of the corridor when you turn left when you go out. You have half a stick of incense when he gets drunk and leaves."

The moment she heard his voice, Qin Shuangjiang subconsciously looked back, looking at him with a somewhat puzzled look. Yan Xu'an had no emotion on his face, but his brows were slightly furrowed. He was holding the cup in his hand and gently stroking it with his fingertips. Mouth, the white jade cup in the hand of the long, slender and clearly defined hands becomes more and more delicate.

The voice he spoke was so low that only the two of them could hear it. At first glance, it sounded like he was creating an opportunity for her to get close to Zhao Ziyu and convey a message.

But thinking about it carefully, his words were indeed ambiguous. He only said that he had half a stick of incense, but he did not explain what he was doing.

Qin Shuangjiang looked at him, hesitating for a long time, wanting to ask, but knowing that there would be no answer, she still didn't believe that Yan Xu'an would watch helplessly as someone handed something that could kill him into the hands of the enemy.

After thinking for a moment, by some strange coincidence, her eyes slightly raised, and she was caught off guard by a pair of deep eyes, like a puddle of deep water, trying to drown her in it.

It's Xiao Rongce.

After just one glance, she silently looked away. When she turned to look at Zhao Ziyu, he was already sitting on the main seat, holding his forehead with one hand and closing his eyes, as if he had drunk too much.

The people toasting and complimenting him were still talking to themselves. Zhao Ziyu only closed his eyes and chuckled without responding. For a moment, it was hard to tell whether he was drunk or not.

Not long after, someone from the palace came forward, asked in a low voice and helped him leave.

Qin Shuangjiang hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Yan Xu'an who looked calm. After struggling a little in his heart, he got up and left the hall.

The corridor was a little quiet. There were only a few sentries standing guard, but nothing else. Standing on the corridor, you could still vaguely hear the commotion in the hall.

She walked towards the room that Yan Xu'an mentioned. Anyway, she had already come out and had no choice. Regardless of whether it was a trap or not, since he wanted her to go there, there must be his purpose. Even if it was to If you give up on her, she will admit it.

The entire Forbidden Garden is very large. It is rumored that this place is second only to the Daqi Palace. There are countless secret rooms and secret passages, and it is the most heavily guarded. No killer or dark person can easily sneak into it.

The deeper you go into the corridor, the less movement there is in the hall behind you, until it disappears completely. The cold wind blows on your face, and you can see clear clouds of white air every time you breathe in and out.She didn't know how long she had been walking, but as if she was aware of it, Qin Shuangjiang suddenly slowed down. After a while, she knew what was going on in her mind, and she frowned slightly.

After a moment's hesitation, he suddenly quickened his pace, turned a random corner, and disappeared without hesitation. Almost at the same time, a white shadow flashed past. Xiao Rongce stopped at the place where Qin Shuangjiang disappeared. After looking around, his eyes were a little confused.

"Master Xiao, are you looking for me?"

Just when Xiao Rongce was confused, Qin Shuangjiang's voice came from behind. His expression froze. The moment he turned his head, a strong wind came towards her, carrying the unique fragrance of jasmine on her body. When he came back to his senses, She was already standing in front of him, with the sharp dagger in her hand pressed against his waist.

Xiao Rongce was slightly startled, his eyes fixed on Qin Shuangjiang's face. Qin Shuangjiang just glanced at the short knife in his hand, and raised his cold and gloomy eyes slightly to meet his slightly stinging eyes.

She looked cold and said in a calm tone: "If I didn't know who you are, you would be a corpse now. Mr. Xiao, following others is not a good habit, especially since I am a killer."

Having said that, before Xiao Rongce could react, Qin Shuangjiang had already put the short knife back into his sleeve. You must know that if you bring a sharp weapon into a place like this without permission, if you are discovered, you will be arrested and executed as an assassin. .

"Frost's Fall..."

He looked at her as if he didn't care at all about what she just said. He was so excited that he couldn't help but take a step forward. He never thought that Qin Shuangjiang also took a step back at the same time, just enough to maintain the distance.

He paused in his steps and his eyes became more and more hurt. During the confrontation between the two, no one noticed Yan Xu'an, who was hiding in the dark corner and had a clear view of everything...

When their eyes met, Xiao Rongce paused slightly, as if he was hurt by her step back. He hesitated for a long time before he realized what he was doing. He calmed down and wanted to say something else, but Qin Shuangjiang obviously didn't want to say more to him. Just bypass the person in front of you and leave.

Without thinking, Xiao Rongce subconsciously stretched out his hand to grab Qin Shuangjiang's wrist, but Qin Shuangjiang shook it off like a reflex, and warned in a low voice: "Please, Mr. Xiao, please stop following me, otherwise, if I accidentally make a mistake, I will turn you into a real corpse." It’s not good for you or me.”

After saying that, she resolutely withdrew her gaze, and seeing that he had no intention of stopping her, she picked up her skirt and left...

Standing outside the palace where Zhao Ziyu was resting, there were no guards guarding him. The palace door was slightly open. Qin Shuangjiang hesitated for a moment and gently pushed open the ajar door. A faint scent of incense came to meet him.

She stepped into the palace, closed the door gently, and walked slowly towards the inner room. Passing through the layers of gauze curtains, a slightly raised figure could be vaguely seen on the couch not far away.

The surroundings were extremely quiet, and through the thick floor-to-ceiling screen, the sound of running water flowing in the bath nearby was particularly loud.

Qin Shuangjiang opened the flying gauze curtain with one hand, and the other hand hidden in the wide sleeve had silently grasped the short knife. She slowly approached the bed, raised her hand to lift the gauze curtain, and held the Dan Dao was about to raise his hand, but when he took a closer look, there was nothing on the bed except the messy quilt.

Qin Shuangjiang was stunned. Before she could react, a pair of big hands suddenly grasped her shoulders. She was startled and subconsciously broke away and moved aside. Fortunately, the other party had no intention of controlling her.

But when she raised her eyes, she saw Zhao Ziyu standing behind her at some point. In her sleeves, she held the dagger in her hand for a moment. Fortunately, she didn't take it out immediately just now.

"It's you?"

Zhao Ziyu looked at her, his face still a little rosy and not normal after drinking, his scrutinizing eyes wandered over her body, and even the tone of his rhetorical questions was full of surprise.
