This is your world

Inside the manor.

In the basement.

Zhao Ying sat cross-legged on the bed, closing her eyes to relax.

As the internal force in her body continued to surge through her body, over and over again, her face gradually became calm.

After a while, she slowly opened her eyes.

At this moment, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes. Those bright and deep eyes looked extremely moving at this moment.

Her injuries have improved greatly.

She lowered her head and touched the wound on her lower abdomen. The external injuries had begun to heal, the internal injuries had stabilized, and the poison on her body had almost been cured.

I'm afraid no one would have thought that she, whose life was hanging by a thread not long ago and was almost dead, would miraculously survive again.

This is a miracle!

A miracle that even Zhao Ying might not have thought of.

She stretched out her hand and gently touched the wound on her lower abdomen. On the other side, some memories seemed to be recalled in his eyes.

After a while, her face began to turn slightly red, as if she had recalled some memories that she shouldn't have remembered.

An unexpected touch of red appeared on her originally fair and cold face.

But soon, the blush disappeared, replaced by cold eyes and gritted teeth that were slightly ashamed and angry...

The emotions kept changing on the face of the eldest princess, and finally, she calmed down.

She returned to her cold appearance, and except for those eyes as bright as the stars, she once again became the cold and unapproachable Princess Zhao.

She stood up slowly, left the basement, walked through the secret passage, and came to the yard.

In the courtyard, night gradually fell, and the courtyard was quiet, without a sound.

"Where are the people?"

A hint of doubt appeared in Zhao Ying's eyes.

Only then did she remember that she hadn't seen Li Xinyi for a long time.

Where has she gone?

When Zhao Ying walked around the backyard, she still found no one.

The entire backyard was deserted, and there was no one left.

Li Xinyi is gone, Li Beifeng is gone, and even Li Suyi is gone!

all gone?

For some reason, Zhao Ying felt a sense of inexplicable loss in her heart.

She didn't know where this loss came from, but she quickly shook her head with cold eyes.

It’s okay to leave!

Now that they are gone, she is cleaner!

She slowly raised her head and looked forward, then walked out of the small courtyard.

The manor also fell into a dead silence.

There seemed to be no one in the huge manor, and it was pitch black, giving people an indescribable feeling of cold desolation.

Zhao Ying lowered her eyes slightly and took two more steps.

Not long after, the sound of footsteps suddenly came to my ears.

Zhao Ying's eyes narrowed and she became wary.

After a while, there were more footsteps. Appear from the front, from all sides.

Then, several figures appeared quietly not far in front of Zhao Ying.

When Zhao Ying saw the person appearing in front of her, the trace of vigilance in her eyes quietly disappeared.

"Princess!"

There was a bit of excitement and joy in his voice.

Not long after, dozens of figures appeared in all directions in the courtyard. Among them, there are many figures that Zhao Ying is familiar with.

These dozens of figures all knelt down in front of Zhao Ying.

"My subordinate arrived too late to save me, so I deserve death!"

"Please forgive me, princess!"

"..."

Zhao Ying looked calmly at the people kneeling in front of her.

After a moment, he said calmly: "Get up!"

Everyone stood up.

Zhao Ying glanced at them again: "How do you know that I am here?"

"It was Protector Li who informed us!"

One of them came out and said in a deep voice: "Guardian Li today specially asked us to come here to find you, the princess, and protect your safety!"

Zhao Ying's expression was startled. After a moment, she slowly came back to her senses and nodded.

"where is he?"

"My subordinates don't know this!"

The man shook his head: "After Hufa Li handed over his subordinates, he left without knowing his whereabouts."

"Missing?"

Zhao Ying's eyes narrowed slightly.

What did he do?

"Princess, there have been a lot of changes in the capital these days since you disappeared, and, and..."

When this person said this, his tone suddenly became heavy.

"Cheng, Cheng protects him, he has..."

"I know!"

Zhao Ying spoke expressionlessly.

Cheng Xilai is dead!

At the Zhao Jing Mausoleum, Cheng Xilai died at the hands of Zhao Jing's men in order to cover her retreat.

He is the first protector of Qin Tiansi and the most loyal protector around Zhao Ying.

Among the four guardians of Qin Tiansi, Cheng Xilai was the first to follow her and was also her most capable person.

Cheng Xilai played a big role in Qin Tiansi's current scale. He once followed Zhao Ying, eradicating many opponents of the imperial court and solving many forces that were eyeing the imperial court.

But no one thought that he would eventually die here.

Die at the hands of one's own people.

"I will help him get revenge!"

Zhao Ying spoke calmly, with a calm face and tone without any waves.

"Everyone must die!"

The tone was still very calm, but everyone present could hear it.

The princess is very angry!

Calmness is the prelude to the storm!

The princess's understatement had already announced the death dates of many people.

Zhao Ying's eyes slowly fell on the faces of everyone present: "You guys, report to me everything that happened in the capital during my absence!"

"yes!"

"..."

Night.

In the alley.

Li Beifeng stopped and looked up at the woman not far away. The expression on his face could not tell whether he was surprised or calm.

"Why are you here?"

"Why can't I be here?"

The girl raised her eyebrows slightly, her gaze still falling on him meaningfully.

"Let me guess, what are you doing here? Looking for His Highness the Crown Prince? Or... do you want to kill him?"

The girl smiled beautifully, with a smile that looked like she was watching a show.

I don’t know if he is gloating about his misfortune, or if he has other thoughts.

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first!"

Li Beifeng spoke coldly and walked away.

He didn't want to be entangled with her here for too long.

"Just leaving?"

A girl's slightly sighing voice came from behind: "Don't you want to know what happened in the Prince's Mansion?"

Li Beifeng, who was about to leave, stopped walking.

After a moment, he slowly turned around and looked at the girl not far away: "You know?"

"Of course, is there something I don't know?"

There was a somewhat proud smile on the girl's face: "Not only do I know what happened in the Prince's Mansion, I also know directly what will happen next!"

Li Beifeng stared at her face, and then said after a moment: "What conditions!"

Gu Zhen

"condition?"

The smile on the girl's face was slightly startled, as if she didn't understand.

After a while, she finally realized: "Do you think I'm here to make terms with you?"

"otherwise?"

Li Beifeng said calmly.

"Am I this kind of person in your mind?"

The girl murmured to herself and shook her head.

"If you want to say it, just say it. If you don't want to, forget it!"

For some reason, Li Beifeng was reluctant to get involved with her. He had a subconscious resistance and wanted to keep a distance from her.

But for some reason, Zhou Qiuning seems to be a ghost who can always appear in unwanted places.

"Zhao Jing has been summoned to the palace!"

Suddenly a girl's voice came from behind, and Li Beifeng only paused for a moment without stopping.

"He is under house arrest in the palace!"

"..."

Li Beifeng stopped again and looked back at her: "Is everything you said true?"

"Why did I lie to you?"

The girl chuckled and said calmly: "Do you think the emperor really didn't know about Zhao Jing's assassination of Zhao Ying this time? Everyone in the world knows that when Zhao Ying is assassinated, the first person to be suspected is Zhao Jing!"

Li Beifeng was silent.

Indeed, he is probably the only person left in the world who can assassinate Zhao Ying.

"During the day today, Zhao Jing was summoned to the palace, but he hasn't come back yet... You should have realized something, right?"

Li Beifeng naturally understood.

Zhao Ying was assassinated, and the murderer Zhao Jing must be the biggest suspect. If he enters the palace, he will definitely be in bad luck. Zhao Jing is a smart man. He naturally knows that there will be such a result, and he cannot just surrender.

The only possibility is...

He still has a backup plan.

Or maybe the Jokhang Emperor suspected him, but he hadn't found any evidence yet!

At present, it seems that this is probably the case!

No matter what, Zhao Jing has always been the biggest suspect in this matter. Now that he has been summoned to the palace and has not returned, it is obvious that he is probably imprisoned in the palace.

"So, he is dead?"

Upon hearing the news, Li Beifeng sneered coldly.

If Zhao Jing really committed suicide, Li Beifeng would be relieved. It would be his own fault and he had dug a hole for himself.

But the question is, is Zhao Jing really that stupid?

"That's not necessarily the case!"

The girl walked slowly to Li Beifeng, raised her face and looked at him with a smile: "He is just imprisoned in the palace now. The emperor has not found any evidence to prove that he wanted to kill my sister!"

"Is there a difference?"

Li Beifeng glanced at him indifferently.

It is an indisputable fact that Zhao Jing assassinated Zhao Ying.

"Of course!"

The girl nodded: "No one can say what will happen... For example, Zhao Jingming knows that entering the palace will not end well, why does he dare to go?"

Li Beifeng frowned slightly: "You know?"

"I don't know either!"

The girl waved her hand: "So, I'm waiting for you!"

"wait for me?"

Li Beifeng realized something and narrowed his eyes: "So you are waiting for me here?"

"if not?"

The girl waved her hand: "Why else would I be doing here in the middle of the night?"

"What do you want from me?"

Li Beifeng stared at her expressionlessly, what on earth did this woman want to do?

"Let's go verify it with you!"

Zhou Qiuning said with a smile.

"How to verify?"

"Enter the palace!"

Zhou Qiu stared at Li Beifeng and said with a smile: "Go to him to verify it!"

"..."

Jokhang Palace.

Outside the palace gate.

"Protector Li!"

The imperial guards outside the palace gate cupped their hands and said, "Protector Li has entered the palace, but what's the important matter?"

Li Beifeng nodded slightly: "I have some important things to do in the palace, so please make it easier!"

The imperial guard outside the door suddenly spoke: "Protector Li is handling the case for the public, so of course we can't stop him..."

Just as the Imperial Army was about to let them go, they caught sight of the figure following Li Beifeng: "This is..."

"Oh, she's one of my assistants. Any questions?"

"No, no..."

The Imperial Guard shook his head quickly. The Protector Li in front of him was from Qin Tiansi. Who dared to provoke Qin Tiansi?

If you mess with me today, you may be dead tomorrow!

Even though they are the imperial guards of the imperial city, this Protector Li is the person next to the princess. His Majesty once had an order that the protector of Qin Tiansi had the right to directly attack the Mian Sheng, and could also freely enter and leave the palace normally.

This is the honor given by His Majesty to Qin Tiansi, and it is enough to prove the importance of Qin Tiansi's status.

"However, Protector Li..."

The Imperial Guard on the side warned carefully: "A lot of things have happened in and outside the palace recently. I think Protector Li has also heard some rumors... Protector Li, be careful!"

"Thank you for reminding!"

Li Beifeng nodded and led the people behind him into the palace.

"I didn't expect that it would be difficult to get into this palace!"

After entering the palace, the figure behind Li Beifeng sighed.

Immediately, he looked around the imperial city: "Is this the Jokhang Palace? It is indeed more magnificent than imagined. How much financial and material resources will it cost to build it?"

Li Beifeng glanced at her: "Have you never been here before?"

"I'm not you, how can I have the right to enter and exit the palace at will?"

The girl looked back at him, then clicked her tongue and said, "Qin Tian Si Protector Li, how majestic you are!"

Li Beifeng ignored her words and said calmly: "Tell me, what should we do next?"

"What to do next, shouldn't you know better than me?"

Zhou Qiuning gradually put away the smile on her face, glanced not far away, and said slowly: "I have received intelligence information that Emperor Jozhao has secretly sent people to investigate this matter. As expected, the results will be available soon. …”

"Before the results come out, I'm afraid Zhao Jing will be under house arrest in the palace. As for where he is being held, I think it's easier for you to know than it is for me, right?"

Li Beifeng did not answer her words and walked toward the palace.

Zhao Jing was placed under house arrest in the palace, which was a mixed blessing for Li Beifeng.

If Zhao Jing's affair is exposed, it would be a good thing to face justice. But Li Beifeng was also worried that he would destroy everything and endanger Xie Wan'er's life.

Therefore, Zhao Jing, who was under house arrest in the palace, became Li Beifeng's best opportunity at this time.

This was one of the reasons why he agreed to Zhou Qiuning and take her into the palace.

It is not difficult to know where Zhao Jing is under house arrest. As the protector of Qin Tiansi, Li Beifeng can easily find and investigate.

"His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince lives in the area to the west of His Majesty's palace..."

A young eunuch beside His Majesty spoke slowly, glanced at Li Beifeng again, and said cautiously: "Protector Li, are you going to see His Highness the Crown Prince?"

"Protector Li, this is absolutely impossible. His Majesty has ordered that no one be allowed to come into contact with His Highness..."

"Can't I do it either?"

Li Beifeng glanced at him.

"this……"

There was a bit of hesitation on the little eunuch's face.

Logically speaking, this is not possible.

But the problem is that His Majesty placed His Highness under house arrest precisely because he suspected that He had murdered the Princess.

And the Protector Li in front of him is the princess's son. Logically speaking, it is reasonable for him to go to see His Highness.

"Okay, I get it!"

Li Beifeng waved his hand and drove the young eunuch away. He glanced back at Zhou Qiuning and said, "Aren't you afraid of being exposed and discovered when you go to see Zhao Jing now?"

"Who said you want to meet me now?"

Unexpectedly, Zhou Qiuning just smiled mysteriously.

"..."
