Chapter 292 A Little Care
in the inn.

The group returned to the inn, disposed of their clothes in an orderly manner, and then went back to their rooms, while Xiao Qiran went straight back to the palace with the iron scroll of the alchemy book.

Not long after Xiao Muyue and Mo Qiancheng's group returned to the inn, officers and soldiers searched and arrested the criminals under the pretext of escaping. The next day, the whole city was under martial law, and everyone who came and went at the gate of the city was subject to body searches. , All of a sudden, people in the entire capital were secretly guessing what happened.

in the palace.

In the imperial study.

"It's already the third day, what action does he have?" the emperor asked lightly.

The old eunuch beside him said: "I left the palace at night while the princess was resting. Your Majesty, there is movement in the Fang family."

The emperor's eyes darkened, "Oh?"

"Since last night, the Punishment Department has started to search the whole city. It is said that some fugitives have escaped. The Punishment Department and the Fang family are connected to the city. This is also the movement of the Fang family."

The emperor said with deep eyes: "Could it be that he has already obtained the iron scroll of the alchemy book?"

The old eunuch thought for a while and said seriously: "If that's the case, it's really incredible that he didn't come to see the emperor right away."

The emperor nodded, "That's right, I'm afraid this guard named Qi Ran is really not that simple, he can make such a big commotion in the Fang family, and he is not in a hurry to claim credit, if such a person can't be used by himself , it is better to remove it.”

The old eunuch's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "The emperor has already planned to marry the princess to him, this is the emperor's man."

The emperor sighed melancholy, "Yes, that's what I planned, but now it seems that I don't dare to marry Qingluan to him before I find out his identity. Luan..."

The old eunuch nodded and agreed: "What the emperor said is that it's really not easy for this person to get the iron scroll of the alchemy book quietly."

No one knows better than the old eunuch how difficult it is to get the Fang family's alchemy scroll. Not only the emperor has thought about it, but those who have always wanted to get rid of the Fang family have also thought about it. However, the Fang family The head of the family is too cunning, people can't guess where he put the things, let alone get the iron scroll of the Dan book.

The Fang family had the iron scroll of the alchemy book in their hands, so even the emperor couldn't do anything about it.

Who let this thing be given to the Fang family by the late emperor, in order to praise the ancestors of the Fang family for their meritorious service in saving people, a special reward.

However, Xiao Qiran got the iron scroll of the Dan book, and if it wasn't for the movement of the Fang family, they would not have known that Xiao Qiran might have already got the iron scroll of the Dan book, but he was not in a hurry to hand it over. The calmness is impressive.

In Qingluan Palace.

Beigong Qingluan looked at the guard sitting next to him, with a relaxed attitude, took the tea unhurriedly, tasted it carefully, and frowned immediately.

"Xiao Qiran!"

"Ah."

"Have you been out these few nights?"

"Ah."

"Where did you go?"

Xiao Qiran glanced at Beigong Qingluan lightly, and said: "Why did the princess suddenly ask about me!"

Beigong Qingluan narrowed her eyes, looked at him, and told her instinctively that Xiao Qiran must have something to hide from her, "Don't fool me with that, I will know today, what exactly did you do?"

"Why is the princess suddenly concerned?" Xiao Qiran looked at her with interest, his eyes full of smiles.

Beigong Qingluan's expression froze, and he concealed his embarrassment and said, "This is not Mu Yue's coming to the Eastern Shu Kingdom."

"That's right, I went to see Yue'er."

Beigong Qingluan frowned and said, "You went to see Xiao Muyue?"

"Ah."

"You went to see Xiao Muyue, why didn't you call me?"

Xiao Qiran said lightly: "Isn't the princess grounded? It's inconvenient to take the princess with you."

Beigong Qingluan: "..."

wrong.

There must be something wrong.

Xiao Qiran said that she was going to see Xiao Muyue. Although this was a good excuse, she still felt that something was wrong, but for a while, she couldn't remember what was wrong.

Before, Xiao Qiran was always eager to tease her, why did Xiao Muyue look cold and indifferent when he came.

Beigong Qingluan secretly scratched her head. At first she thought it was because of what the emperor said to Xiao Qiran in the imperial study that day, but now that she thinks about it, could it be because of Xiao Muyue...

"By the way, I have been checking the whereabouts of the Fenyue Fruit for the past few days. Later, I found that the Fenyue Fruit was mixed with a group of tributes and presented to the father. I think the father knows the whereabouts of the Fenyue Fruit! Wait for me to find someone Time to ask!"

Beigong Qingluan had been secretly watching Xiao Qiran's face when she said this. Originally, she had guessed whether Xiao Qiran might be anxious because of the Fen Yueguo that Xiao Muyue was looking for, but she told the whereabouts of Fenyueguo After that, Xiao Qiranbin didn't have much reaction.

As a result, Beigong Qingluan felt depressed again.

Xiao Qiran's serious appearance these days really frightened her.

She still likes him laughing and joking.

However, she couldn't ask him directly what happened and why he was so indifferent to her all of a sudden.

On the side, Xiao Qiran was holding a teacup, but he was thinking in his heart, what kind of problems would the emperor make to embarrass him under the iron scroll of the alchemy book!

And the Fang family seems to have taken action.

"I haven't been out of the palace recently, and I don't know what happened outside the palace..."

Beigong Qingluan was slightly taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Outside the palace? There is nothing special these days outside the palace."

Then, after a slight pause, he continued: "No, there was news this morning that the Department of Punishment is arresting some fugitives and putting the whole city under martial law. I think it's a big fuss!"

"Department of Punishment? I seem to remember that the power of the Fang family at that time..."

Beigong Qingluan nodded, "Yes, it is indeed the power of the Fang family. The Fang family has always controlled the Department of Punishment. It must be that there is such a big movement this time. Maybe something happened to the Fang family! No, I have to check it out. This Fang family is too dishonest!"

Then, he got up and left.

As soon as Beigong Qingluan left, Xiao Qiran followed suit.

But instead of following Beigong Qingluan, he went back and quietly went in the direction of the imperial study.

After handing over the Iron Scroll of the Dan Shu to the emperor, he rushed back to Qingluan Palace, and returned to Qingluan Palace just before Qingluan from Beigong returned.

night.

In the imperial study.

The emperor looked at the iron scroll of the alchemy book in his hand and fell into deep thought.

Originally, he wanted to make things difficult for Xiao Qiran, because he knew that Xiao Qiran was not from the Eastern Shu Kingdom, but from the Xifeng Kingdom, and he was worried that he was a spy sent by Xifeng, but Xiao Qiran actually brought back the Iron Scroll of the Danshu. Unexpected, but also a little more worried.

It is good to take back the Iron Scroll of the Danshu, but it also means that Xiao Qiran has fulfilled the first condition.

Strength is really not easy!
"Your Majesty, the person sent out is already investigating, and I believe his identity will be found out soon." The old eunuch said.
