The whole capital was in panic because of this sudden murder. The lights in every house were brightly lit all night long. Seeing familiar and unfamiliar people in the past being arrested or killed one by one, everyone couldn't help but feel at risk. The festive atmosphere of the New Year was suppressed by haze and fear. .

At this time, in the Luoxia Palace, Qingyun stood quietly by the window, looking at the stars and the moon gradually sinking in the dark night sky, with a calm and dignified expression.

This incident seems to have been resolved, but the people and things involved behind it are very complicated.

First of all, it can be seen from the words and deeds of Protector Zuo that she is obviously not the one who planned this matter, so why did she come forward? Is she taking orders? Or is she seeking quick success and quick gain for the position of palace master?

Who is the real plotter?

The Lord of the Juechen Palace? It seems impossible! After all, as the Lord of the First Palace, if he really wanted to destroy the country, he would definitely have a perfect plan to prevent him from acting so hastily, and not even having no way out, which would lead to the collapse of the whole country. The army was destroyed.

Secondly, who are the two noble Juechen palace people Yuan Dong mentioned? What does his last look mean?

Also, where is the Right Protector hiding? What kind of conspiracy does she (he) have?

The most important thing is, who planned this disappearance of girls? What was the purpose of robbing those girls?

In addition, I heard from my father that among the two saints of the Juechen Palace, Chenshuang and Wanxue, Chenshuang is as beautiful as the peach blossoms in March, while Wanxue is as elegant as a hibiscus emerging from the water. Both of them are outstanding in terms of intelligence and martial arts. They became famous all over the world after defeating the heads of the eight martial arts sects overnight, which attracted countless young talents to ignore their identities and flock to them, even going crazy. Unfortunately, the two disappeared suddenly, and no one knows the reason until now.

At that time, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, but it was so fast that she couldn't catch it. The faint scent of herbs suddenly drifted in the wind. Qingyun didn't look back and said, "Have everything been arranged?"

"Yes." Mo Xuan walked to her side and stood beside her, looking at the scenery outside the window like her: "She will wake up in five days, but with her identity and willpower, I'm afraid she won't be able to do what you want."

"I believe Zike and the others will find a way to make her speak."

"That's true." Miss Qiao's special training method is unique, and her interrogation method must also be different.

Sensing Qingyun's heavy thoughts, Mo Xuan was filled with pity and worry: "You will arrest and kill people from Juechen Palace in such a big way. Not only will it intensify their hatred, but they will also act more secretly and viciously in the future. This will treat you badly." I'm afraid it will be harmful rather than beneficial for you to eradicate the Juechen Palace."

"If someone hadn't taken advantage of Sanhuang's sister-in-law this time, and Sanhuang's sister-in-law had told me in advance, even if we had taken precautions in advance, we would have suffered heavy losses." Qingyun Qingling said, "The reason why I made such a fuss is known to everyone. , just to break the passive situation where we are always in darkness, to alert the world about the position of the imperial court and Juechen Palace, and also to try my best to eliminate all the troubles that will endanger the safety of my father and the others during my lifetime."

Mo Xuan fell silent when he heard this, his eyes were as deep as the sea, faintly glowing with waves.

In her lifetime! If she cannot find the real medicine to eradicate her cold poison, her lifetime will end at any time...

"Chen Yu, you..." Qing Yun suddenly spoke quietly, not knowing how to continue.

After gathering his thoughts, Mo Xuan looked at her sideways: "What's going on?"

"Nothing." Qingyun's eyes were as silent as water, like the dark sky, but her hands under her long sleeves were clenched tightly unconsciously.

The danger that endangers the safety of her father and the others has not been eliminated, and she is a person with no future today. She is actually deeply involved in emotional entanglements, which not only harms herself and others, but also is extremely unfilial. It is simply unforgivable.

Mo Xuan stared deeply at her expression that was sometimes sad and sometimes decisive, feeling uneasy and doubtful in his heart.

He really didn't know what he had done wrong. Why had she consciously distanced herself from him since he appeared tonight? The warm relationship and trust he had finally established before seemed to have been loosened. This was a bad sign.

"Xi Yan, I..." Mo Xuan was about to say something, but saw Lu Po walking in, so he pursed his lips and said nothing.

"Princess Qi, King Rui, King Qi, King Yue, Marquis Hu Guo and Commander Situ are asking for an audience!"

Qingyun turned around and walked to the main seat and sat down, her face as calm as water: "Please!" Mo Xuan immediately stood beside her.

A snow-white figure flew into Qingyun's arms. Ignoring Mo Xuan's jealous and angry gaze, Mu Xue rubbed her body affectionately, then found a comfortable position and closed her eyes to rest.

Looking at Muxue in her arms, Sima Rui sighed with emotion: Muxue is really spiritual. If it weren't for him tonight, they wouldn't be able to uncover the hidden details.

"Jiu'er, the traitors and their families that Yuan Dong told us about have all been imprisoned in the sky prison, and the stubborn resisters have been killed! In addition, we have thoroughly checked the people in the palace and found out two must-haves. The palace of dust is carefully constructed, waiting for the death of Jiu'er."

"The four men of Deng Conghuai and the two agents were secretly detained separately to prevent anyone from killing anyone and silencing them."

"yes!"

Qingyun looked at Situ Jingyu: "Where is Tong An?"

"Back to the Ninth Princess, Wei Chen led his people to the Xihua Gate. The guards said that Tong An was not on duty tonight, but he had brought wine and food to them to celebrate the festival. They suspected that they had eaten it fraudulently and were unconscious after eating it. , it is estimated that Tong An expected that Guardian Zuo and other traitors would succeed in their conspiracy, or was afraid that the news would be leaked in advance and alert everyone, so he did not kill them;

When they woke up, Tong An was no longer there, but they heard that there was a traitor in the palace plotting rebellion. They concealed the matter for fear of being punished. It is said that they were unconscious for only a cup of tea. When Wei Chen and others rushed to Tong An's home, He has committed suicide by taking poison."

"Dead?" Qingyun raised her eyebrows.

"Yes!" Situ Jingyu knelt down and blamed himself: "Wei Chen ordered people to search his home carefully but found nothing. Wei Chen is incompetent, please punish the Ninth Princess!"

"This matter has nothing to do with you." Waving his hand to signal Situ Jingyu to stand up, Qingyun said thoughtfully: "It is said that Tong An knew that the deeds of Zuo Zuo and others were exposed, and there was at least half a gap between the time we learned his identity and went to arrest him. For an hour, he had enough time to flee in panic, so how could he commit suicide by taking poison?"

"What Jiu'er means is that Tong An was silenced!" Sima Rui affirmed.

Qingyun nodded slightly: "Tong An has been responsible for delivering news inside and outside the palace, and he must know a lot of secrets. How could the Juechen Palace people allow him to fall into the hands of the court? After all, only the dead can keep secrets, right?"

It's a pity that Tong An died and the clues were cut off. I hope we can get some valuable information from Deng Conghuai and others.

"What Xi Yan said makes some sense, but" Mo Xuan said, "I personally prefer that someone gave Tong An some poison in advance. Regardless of whether this was successful or not, Tong An will definitely die!"

After hearing this, several people nodded in agreement.

"Declaration: Any guard at Xihua Gate who neglects his duty will be punished with a heavy punishment of fifty boards and a fine of one year's salary!"

Situ Jingyu said respectfully: "I obey the order!"

"Okay, you have worked hard, go back and have a good rest. We will discuss other matters later."

"I (Old Minister) (Weak Minister) retire!" Several people knelt down and saluted before leaving.

"Third Brother" looked at Sima Rui who stopped when he heard the sound and turned to face him. Qingyun thought for a while and said seriously: "I remember that when we were young, the Taifu once taught us, 'Repay the old intentions and take pity on the people in front of you'! Third Brother" , if it weren’t for the Three Emperors’ Sister-in-law this time, the consequences would be disastrous! How precious of you!”

Sima Rui understood that she was persuading him to cherish Xu Kexin, but... after staring at her deeply for a long time, he nodded heavily like a strong man cutting off his wrist, and then strode out of Luoxia Palace.

Looking at Sima Rui's lonely back, Qingyun's eyes gradually filled with a layer of light mist.

Although the third brother was deeply hidden, she was not stupid and naturally noticed the third brother's affection for her. However, no matter in the past life or in this life, she always respected the third brother as her own brother, and she had never had the slightest hint of any difference between a man and a woman. Love, she is destined to let down the third brother's deep love!

Compared to Qing Yun's plight, Mo Xuan was secretly happy to hear her admonishing Sima Rui. This way he lost a strong love rival.

Mo Xuan originally wanted to find out why she was alienating him, but when he saw a look of tiredness on her brows, he felt very distressed, so he suppressed his doubts and gently told her to have a good rest, and then returned to his room.

Leaning on the soft couch, Qingyun, who was not sleepy, rubbed her eyebrows with two fingers, and the familiar footsteps gradually approached: "Zike, has Zhilan returned home safely?"

"Yes." Zike walked up to her and stood with her head slightly lowered.

"Did you get any news?"

Zike bit her lips and hesitated, not knowing what to say: The princess and Princess Yongle have a deep love for each other. If they knew the situation of Princess Yongle, the consequences would be...

After waiting for Zike's answer for a long time, Qingyun stopped squeezing her eyebrows and stared at her who was unusually silent: "Did the Lin family treat Zhi Lan harshly?"

"Princess......"

"Say!" Qingyun's eyebrows flashed with fierceness.

Zike knelt on the ground with a plop, her hesitant voice filled with resentment and worry: "Back to the princess, that Lin Tao is simply a beast, and the Prime Minister and Mrs. Lin are nothing..."

After escorting Princess Yongle back to the mansion, she did not leave immediately. Instead, she sneaked into the mansion quietly and used special means to learn from several slaves about Princess Yongle's inhumane experience after marrying Lin Tao. In order not to worry the princess, she deliberately concealed it.

If she hadn't had any scruples, she would have wanted to cut Lin Tao into pieces at that moment!

After listening to what Zike said, Qingyun felt heartbroken and guilty. After all, she was the one who forced Zhilan into such an unbearable situation. A sweet and fishy taste surged in her throat. She spit out a mouthful of blood, and her face instantly turned pale.

"Princess......"

Lu Po hurriedly took out a silk handkerchief and wiped the blood stains on the corner of her mouth, while Zike said anxiously: "I'll go ask Mr. Mo!"

"Don't go!"

Zike shouted coldly and was about to rush out of the room. Qingyun endured the surge of energy and blood in her body and sat up straight, waving for Zike to come forward: "Go to Yan Nuo immediately and say... "Then he whispered a few instructions in her ear, his beautiful face full of coldness: "How dare Lin Tao hurt Zhi Lan like this, I want him to live worse than death!"

"Yes, I'll go right away!" Zike immediately rushed to Baihua Tower.

After pouring a cup of warm water and handing it to Qingyun, Lu Po asked worriedly: "Is the princess in a hurry? Why don't you invite Mr. Mo to come and take a look?"

Muxue, who had been lazily nestled in her arms, flew away and then quickly turned around, holding the elixir bottle containing the jade-leaf golden dragon developed by Mo Xuan in his mouth. Qingyun took it and poured one out, mixing it with the warm water and the sweet taste in her throat. Swallow: "Don't reveal a single word of what happened just now to anyone, remember?"

Looking at Qing Yun, whose eyes were as deep as the sea, Lu Po had no choice but to agree.

If the emperor knew that the princess had vomited blood, he would definitely be extremely worried, and Mr. Mo would be afraid that he would rush into the prime minister's house with blood at all costs. The result can be imagined.

Zhuyue, who hurried back in a hurry, saw Qingyun like this, and couldn't help but feel worried and anxious: "Master, what is going on?"

"It's okay." Qingyun quietly hid the blood-stained silk handkerchief in her sleeve, changed the topic and asked: "Zhuyue, how is the situation in Jinxiufang?"

Looking at Green Amber, who had his head lowered, Zhuyue suppressed the doubts in his heart and said respectfully: "Back to the master, my subordinates rushed to Jinxiufang. Except for the shopkeeper who had lost his martial arts and was tied to the stone pillar, all the other traitors were already there. He was executed. According to the shopkeeper, it was a masked man in black who left behind dozens of boxes of gold, silver, jewelry and an account book. His subordinates have transported the property back, and the shopkeeper has locked him up in a dungeon alone."

Zhuyue then took out an account book and handed it to Lubo. Lupo hurriedly took it with both hands and handed it to Qingyun. Qingyun opened it and flipped through it, frowning more and more, and then handed it back to Zhuyue.

"Follow the source of the money in the account books and trace them carefully. No clues will be missed. All relevant persons will be arrested and brought to justice! In addition, can the identity of the masked man in black be found out?"

Should he abandon his car to protect his commander? Or lend a helping hand to his own side?

Who has such unpredictable martial arts and can destroy Jinxiufang in such a short period of time? Is this person an enemy or a friend?

Zhuyue shook his head: "No! But my subordinates have ordered people to continue the investigation. I believe there will be news soon."

"Very good! During this period, you should pay close attention to the news from all sides, especially the case of the missing girl. If there is any trouble, report it immediately!"

"My subordinates obey!" Zhuyue thought for a while and hesitated: "Master, do you believe that this case was not committed by Juechen Palace?"

"Just a gut feeling." Playing with the tea cup in his hand, Qingyun's dark eyes flashed with a dark edge: "As for the truth, we still need to investigate it carefully. This case will be handed over to the Ziyi Guards. You and Wuying will be responsible for the matters recorded in the account books and That masked man, go find Yan Nuo if necessary." Seeing Zhuyue opening her mouth to say something, she waved her hand and said, "I have Lan Jue and Green Amber by my side, and Hong Hu will be back tomorrow, so you don't have to worry."

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Zhuyue had no choice but to obey her orders.

At the same time, in the Prime Minister's study, Zhi Lan was nervously and eagerly looking for what she wanted with a candlestick in her hand. Suddenly she heard the low-pitched code she had agreed with Qiu He coming from outside the house. She hurriedly blew out the candle, and before she could hide, the sound of footsteps was already heard. As he gradually approached the study, a sharp question sounded at the same time: "Who is in the study?"
