C47 Shuo also known as the north

Du Ying coincidentally had just come over at this time as well, and as he was holding his stomach, he listened to their conversation. Suddenly, he interrupted them: "Later that night, he drank a bit more.

"What did he say?"

"I heard that the powder taken cold's medicinal properties are really strong. After consuming it, it makes one feel like they're immortals, but their entire body is extremely hot." Then, Du Ying's face darkened, looking extremely unhappy.

powder taken cold! Gu Qingli was shocked.

Du Ying somewhat angrily said that Xiao Shuo Fang had even tried to do something to her, but she was getting older, so she was naturally unable to satisfy his needs. Thus, he abandoned her and found another girl in Xuanhua House to accompany her, not caring about her feelings at all.

Four days ago, after the night banquet, he reeked of alcohol ? And even tamed a powder taken cold? Gu Qingli had a faint guess in his heart. But who was Xiao Shuo Fang? How could he be connected to the envoy of the Southern Moon?

She sent a secret order to Nuan Xiang to find out anything related to the envoy of the Southern Moon, including any information related to the whereabouts of the Corner of Deception.

When they returned to the Duke Palace, Assistant Minister Lin was talking to Xiao Yixiu. She stopped when she saw Gu Qingli knocking on the door, and she could faintly hear what he was saying, "Crown Prince ? there seems to be a need to rope him in with the Prince Yan. "

"Your Highness, lower official will be leaving now." The Assistant Minister Lin seemed to have the intention of avoiding Gu Qingli.

"He was afraid I'd hear something?" Gu Qingli could tell.

Xiao Yixiu nodded his head, "He managed to find some clues, and said that the crown prince and emissary Nan Yue were very close, and that the Prince Yan was trying to rope them in."

Gu Qingli was deep in thought. If it was to win her over, then her guess was wrong. Wasn't that envoy murdered?

"Prince Yan returned to the capital?" She remembered that Prince Yan Xiao Yijin was not in the capital.

"We can see him when we enter the palace as soon as we return, so he is still a step behind the crown prince. Among the forces of other countries, Nanyue is actually neutral ? "

Gu Qingli's mind was startled, and did not hear what Xiao Yixiu said after, because a name suddenly popped out of her heart, "Xiao Yibei."

She didn't expect it! "Shuofang!" "Er Ya" Yun, "Shuo, also in the north", Xiao Shuo Fang, this name, did he not take Xiao Yibei's name as the name of the north? Xuanhua House was the Queen's underground power, but she didn't think much of it.

"Your Highness, have you ever thought that this dead emissary might have been murdered?"

"Didn't you say that he died from poisoning after consuming powder taken cold in large quantities? It must have something to do with his daily bad habits. "

"No, I suspect that he was killed by someone, but who would want to kill the envoy? "What is his purpose?"

"He's from Southern Moon and has just arrived. Who could he have a grudge with?" Xiao Yixiu felt that it was possible for the emissary's corpse to be used as a piece of cake, but if it was murdered, it would not make sense. Furthermore, the Assistant Minister Lin had found out that the emissary was someone that the various powers wanted to rope in.

"Your Highness is right, he's new here, it's impossible for him to make enemies easily, not to mention that he's the target of all the forces trying to rope him in, but don't forget, there are two emissaries!"

With Gu Qingli's reminder, Xiao Yixiu slowly nodded, and instantly figured out the relationship between the two.

It was impossible for Nanyue's envoy to have such a huge enmity with someone from the Dongyuan Empire. If that was the case, the person who wanted to harm him should be someone within the delegation of Nanyue. The greatest possibility was that it was another envoy!

But he did not know that on the night of the envoy's death, there was an additional Xiao Yibei who interfered violently.

Gu Qingli suddenly reminded him, "The reason why the crown prince and Prince Yan want to recruit envoys is to obtain the support of the Southern Moon Country. If you find out the truth, will it be beneficial for your interaction with the Southern Moon Country?"

Although Xiao Yixiu did not do this, wasn't the Southern Moon Country also a worthy target for him to rope in? If he didn't do it, he probably felt that he had gone to all the trouble to please an envoy from a foreign country. With his proud and aloof personality, he naturally felt disdainful. However, this great opportunity was right in front of him ?

Gu Qingli bent his body, wanting to leave, but he discovered that Xiao Yixiu's eyes were shining brightly when he calmed down and looked at her; Then, he held her hand. "Li Yue, you have been running away from this king."

She was suddenly confused by his question.

Regardless of whether it was the wangfei or Li Yue, both of them were subconsciously avoiding him. What was he trying to say?

Instinctively, she felt nervous and tried to pull away, but his grip tightened.

"What does the deceased envoy of the Southern Moon have to do with the one who entered the palace?" She clearly wanted to change the subject.

"Brother, blood brother."

"What?" Gu Qingli had only asked this question casually in the beginning, but this successfully attracted her attention.

According to the reports of Xiao Yixiu's scouts, the one who entered the palace was his brother Jin Xiran, and his dead brother, Jin Xi Yuan, was born directly from the same family, but his brother was born into a concubine family and was favored by the Emperor of Nan Yue. Thus, when he came to the East Ocean Continent, Jin Xi Yuan was actually the real one, it was just that he had no choice but to let his brother enter the palace and pay tribute to him, in order to track down his whereabouts.

From this, it could be inferred that Jin Xiran was very shrewd, that he had used the opportunity of him sending out an envoy to another country to murder his brother. After all, this was a place far away from the emperor, and if there wasn't anyone from the Southern Moon Country interfering, no one would be able to investigate Jin Xi Yuan's true death!

Just as Gu Qingli was engrossed in his speculation, he suddenly heard a low and gentle voice: "You want to be so engrossed in his speculation, could it be that the matters of others are more important than this duke?"

Her body slightly stiffened, her eyes turned to look, and she saw the warm and handsome face of Xiao Yixiu, who was just inches away from her. Her black hair was hanging on her shoulders like water, her brows were like a spring mountain, her phoenix eyes were slightly raised, and a dark flame was slowly burning in her eyes.

When did he get so close? She didn't notice at all!

"Li Yue doesn't understand what the Prince is saying." She shifted quietly.

Xiao Yixiu could only see her low and shallow eyebrows retracted as they tilted to the side. There was a proud and aloof feeling between her brows, but she could not hide her curled eyelashes that were lightly fanned like butterfly wings.

He could not see the confusion flowing through her eyes, and only subconsciously wanted to push her away from the Red Yarn, to see what kind of face she would have under the mysterious flames.

"Li Yue, why do you have to use Red Yarn s to cover your face all day?"

"Naturally, it's because ?" She was extremely intelligent, so how could she not know what was on the other side of his bowstring? In an instant, she wanted to stop him from seeing her: "She's too ugly, she's too embarrassed to see others."

"This King does not believe."

Gu Qingli laughed blandly: "I am afraid that you will be disappointed if you were to expect that there is a beautiful lady under the veil."

Xiao Yixiu's slender jade like hand slowly reached over. She originally wanted to touch her veil, but she stopped herself, "Miss Li Yue doesn't want to reveal her true face, and doesn't even care about looking down on her own face. Do you think this duke is the kind of person to judge a person by their appearance?"

Gu Qingli subconsciously heaved a sigh of relief. Provoke was indeed useful, he did not want to carry the name of beauty with him, so he would not easily remove her veil. Although she could reasonably avoid it, it would eventually freeze the atmosphere and make it difficult for them to get along in the future.

However, she heard him say something that made her extremely speechless, "One day, this king will make you willingly take off this veil. Whether it's appearance, as long as it's Li Yue, it's enough. "
