C101

Two nights later, when Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou were sleeping, shadow guard's arrival woke the two of them up.

It turned out that shadow guard, who had gone to meet up with Fang Shuoyang and Xu You, had arrived first and was met with another wave of attacks from the assassins. At that time, before Qiu Ming's army had arrived, shadow guard and the army from the Heaven Concealment Castle had retaliated against the assassins.

Half a day later, Qiu Ming arrived with his army.

With an additional thousand soldiers protecting them, Fang Shuoyang's team should have no problems.

However, he didn't expect that when they were close to the Imperial City tonight, a group of assassins would suddenly appear. Among those assassins, there were dozens of people from the army led by Qiu Ming!

No one had expected such a turn of events. Furthermore, the carriage where Xu You and Fang Shuoyang were in was overturned.

It was a good thing that Fang Shuoyang managed to protect Xu You at the critical moment. But even so, Fang Shuoyang's back was severely injured, and one of Xu You's foot was also hit by the carriage's carriage.

In this wave of attack, even though shadow guard and the army killed those assassins, their losses were not small.

Long Xiaoyuan lost three men to shadow guard, and more than twenty of those troops had died, with several heavily injured and over a hundred lightly injured!

This was because it happened right before the Imperial City gates, and Fang Shuoyang and Xu You's injuries urgently needed imperial physician's treatment. Furthermore, Fang Shuoyang and Xu You were still safe inside the palace.

That was why shadow guard had come late at night to disturb Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou.

Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou were woken up by shadow guard's words. After hearing it, they immediately sent someone to pick up Fang Shuoyang and Xu You.

Shi Qingzhou said, "They will take a while to get here. Besides, the diagnosis and treatment needs to be done by imperial physician. You should continue resting. I will go take a look."

Long Xiaoyuan immediately shook his head. You already went down, how could I still sleep! "

Shi Qingzhou didn't know whether he should be moved or helpless at this moment.

Then, Long Xiaoyuan got up from the bed.

Shi Qingzhou didn't say anything more after seeing that the other side had started to move.

Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou got up. Not long after, Fang Shuoyang and Xu You were brought to the palace and placed in the same palace as Xu You.

Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou went over directly. By the time they got there, imperial physician had already finished his diagnosis.

Fang Shuoyang's back was injured, and the wound on his leg had not completely healed, so he could only lie on the bed to rest. He couldn't even lie on his back.

Xu You's ankle was injured, and it was extremely swollen.

However, imperial physician had already used the medicine. Don't move for three days, don't work hard, there won't be any problems, and there won't be any root of illness.

When Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou arrived, Sun Tie's bare feet had already been dealt with. He sat on the chair with reddened eyes, probably worrying about Fang Shuoyang.

Long Xiaoyuan walked over. "He's here?"

Xu You's eyes lit up when he saw Long Xiaoyuan. There was grievance and hatred in his eyes. Brother. Those people are too much! "

"Hai." Long Xiaoyuan sighed. I already know. Rest assured, your injuries will not be for nothing. "

"Yes." Xu You nodded.

Although Fang Shuoyang was lying on the bed and couldn't move, he still paid his respects verbally.

"This commoner has seen the Emperor. "Empress, this commoner cannot get out of bed now to greet you. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Long Xiaoyuan waved his hand. There's no need to talk about these fake ones. "

Subsequently, Long Xiaoyuan asked about the situation of the two imperial physician, Fang Shuoyang and Xu You who had arrived.

After imperial physician finished reporting, Long Xiaoyuan sent them personally to fry the medicine. After cleaning up the people in the room, Long Xiaoyuan asked, "What did you guys discover that attracted such a crazy chase?"

Fang Shuoyang smiled bitterly. Actually, this commoner doesn't know what it is either. "

As he said that, Fang Shuoyang took out two things.

One was a jade pendant. The color of the pendant was crystal clear. One could tell that it was the best piece of jade in the world.

The other thing is a letter... Blood book?

There were three lines of words on the blood book. The ninth day of the third month. Change to the last son of the womb. "Woman, Lian Xiang'er."

There were three lines of words in total, but... What does that mean?

In retrospect, it was twenty-four years ago? Change, remnants? What did that mean?

Also, who is Lian Xiang'er?

"Do you know the Lian Xiang'er mentioned in the blood book?" Long Xiaoyuan asked Fang Shuoyang.

Fang Shuoyang shook his head. "I don't know him, but I've never heard of him."

He frowned. Long Xiaoyuan showed the item to Shi Qingzhou, who also frowned slightly. He didn't know what the blood book meant or what it meant.

Long Xiaoyuan said, "You think this is important, so you sent the item over here?"

"Yes." Fang Shuoyang nodded, "It was my father who hid in a secret compartment in the study room. Moreover, there were two mechanisms on the secret compartment, and if it wasn't a very important secret, my father definitely wouldn't have done that. I think that these two things might have something to do with the person behind my father's cooperation, so I wanted to deliver something that I don't understand to the emperor. Those people... It's to take my life and Xu You's life, and not just take things back. "

"It seems that what we don't understand is very important to the mastermind." Long Xiaoyuan looked at the blood letter on the kernels in his hands thoughtfully.

It seemed to him that what was happening now was quite different from the novel.

Thus, he couldn't know what was going on.

As a survivor, was this the price one had to pay to change the outcome of a book?

Thinking about this, Long Xiaoyuan was a little dazed.

Shi Qingzhou paused for a moment and asked softly when he looked at Long Xiaoyuan. What's wrong with the Emperor? "

Long Xiaoyuan shook his head and returned to his senses. "Speak to Shi Qingzhou." "It's fine."

Shi Qingzhou moved closer to Long Xiaoyuan. Long Xiaoyuan shook the other party's hand and then turned to Xu You.

Xu You, you and Fang Shuoyang rest here first. This is the palace, there shouldn't be assassinations, but you need to be careful with food. I will arrange a special imperial physician here, so you don't have to worry too much. Wu Tie said.

Xu You nodded. Yeah, I got it, big brother. "

Long Xiaoyuan didn't say anything more and just said, "Rest well."

"Alright." Xu You nodded.

Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou left, taking the jade pendant and the blood letter with them.

Fang Shuoyang glanced at Xu You and said slowly, "His Majesty treats you well. In front of you, he calls himself me."

Xu You was slightly shocked, then smiled. That's right, that's the big brother I recognize. "

Fang Shuoyang smiled, " You're so happy to have acknowledged me as your big brother? "

"Of course." Xu You jumped in front of the bed and sat on the edge.

"It's fate that we know each other. I feel like Big Bro and I are sworn brothers." Xu You said firmly.

Fang Shuoyang was a little jealous. If you say so, I'm going to be jealous. "

"Haha." Xu You laughed. You're really jealous. "

"Yeah." Fang Shuoyang pretended to be serious, "Of course I'm really jealous!"

Xu You laughed again.

Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou left, the two of them called the carriage as they drove back to Kunning Palace.

"When we reached the bedroom, Long Xiaoyuan brought Shi Qingzhou to the table and poured him a cup of warm water." It's still a little cold out there. Have some hot drinks. "

Shi Qingzhou nodded. "Right."

Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou both drank a cup of hot tea. After that, Wu Tie said, "Go to sleep. There's nothing more to say today."

"Alright." Shi Qingzhou didn't disagree. "However …" This jade pendant and the blood letter must be hidden well. "

Long Xiaoyuan thought this was true and immediately handed the jade ornament and the blood letter to Shi Qingzhou, "Qing Zhou, put it away. I can rest assured that I will leave it with you."

Shi Qingzhou slightly raised his eyebrows and looked at Long Xiaoyuan. After a moment, he smiled. "Alright."

Long Xiaoyuan didn't look at where Shi Qingzhou put his stuff, instead, he walked towards the bedroom.

Just as Long Xiaoyuan took off his jacket and got into bed, Shi Qingzhou came back.

"Long Xiaoyuan got into bed and left the outside half empty." "Qingzhou, come here."

Shi Qingzhou sat on the edge of the bed and took off his coat. Then, he also got on the bed.

After lying down, Long Xiaoyuan took the person into his arms.

Shi Qingzhou turned his head. "Long Xiaoyuan pecked her lightly on her lips." "Go to sleep."

"Yes." Shi Qingzhou nodded.

Although it was not long before dawn, Shi Qingzhou and Long Xiaoyuan still slept for a while.

On the morning of the next day, Qiu Ming led his troops away from the Imperial City. However, when they were fighting with the assassins outside the Imperial City, there were a lot of casualties among the soldiers. This matter was brought out for discussion by the court officials.

Some said angrily that they were going to investigate the murderer.

Some said that Qiu Ming didn't lead his troops well.

It was said that the assassin was insolent, and he wanted to investigate the mastermind …

However, this time, many people believed that what had happened outside the Imperial City was a provocation to their Imperial Court and could not be forgiven!

It was rare for the imperial court to find such information. In the end, Long Xiaoyuan handed the investigation to Ministry of Justice and handed it to Shi Qingzhou, who was now the vice minister of Ministry of Justice, Hu Qingyuan.

After the next assembly, Long Xiaoyuan met with two other ministers and gave them some instructions. One of them was Sun Youjing, Shi Qingshan's student.

Sun Youjing was very trusted by Shi Qingzhou.

After Long Xiaoyuan finished giving orders, he went to Kunning Palace. When he saw Shi Qingzhou dressed up like he was going out, Long Xiaoyuan was surprised.

"Hmm? Are you going out? " Long Xiaoyuan asked while walking towards Shi Qingzhou.

Shi Qingzhou nodded. "En, I suddenly thought of a clue that might be related to that jade ornament and the Blood Book. I want to go out and take a look."

"Huh?" Long Xiaoyuan was even more surprised. "What do you mean?"

Shi Qingzhou smiled, " "I can't tell in detail. Yesterday, I felt that jade pendant was a little familiar, but I'm not sure if I really saw it somewhere before. I only thought of something this morning and wanted to go out and personally confirm it."

"Then I'll go with you." Long Xiaoyuan immediately said.

"This …" Shi Qingzhou hesitated as he heard this.

Long Xiaoyuan squinted his eyes. Is it a secret? "

"No." Shi Qingzhou smiled bitterly. Right now, there are many assassins outside. If I'm by myself, I won't be afraid, but if you're here … "

Shi Qingzhou didn't say anything else, but how could Long Xiaoyuan not understand?

However, the so-called "cumbersome" matter had caused them trouble before. Therefore, although Shi Qingzhou spoke the truth, he was afraid of hurting Long Xiaoyuan's self-esteem.

Looking at Shi Qingzhou's appearance, Long Xiaoyuan's heart ached. It seemed that the other party had remembered the cold war last time. He was afraid that Shi Qingzhou might touch a mine.

Shi Qingzhou and Long Xiaoyuan who were like this did not like it, so they smiled and said: "Qingzhou, your worries are correct. Alright, then I won't go out this time."

Unexpectedly, Long Xiaoyuan's easy compromise made Shi Qingzhou turn silent instead.

"What's wrong? You're not happy that I didn't go out? " Long Xiaoyuan was confused.

Shi Qingzhou lowered his head and suddenly said, "Let's go out together."

"Huh?" Long Xiaoyuan was truly shocked when he heard this.

Shi Qingzhou had already raised his head and said seriously, "Let's go out together and lure the snake out of its hole. Let's see if someone really wants to die. I also want to see how many people they have hidden in the Imperial City!"

Long Xiaoyuan was silent for a moment and then laughed. "The light boat is willing to take the risk?"

Shi Qingzhou snickered. It's not us who are taking the risk. "

"Haha." Long Xiaoyuan smiled. Such a confident Shi Qingzhou made him more happy, and often because of his responsibility, he always felt that Shi Qingzhou was a little tied when doing things. It was also because of this that he said that he was a burden to the other party last time.

At that time, Shi Qingzhou's words were a little out of his mind, but now that he was so confident, he liked Shi Qingzhou to the core of his being!

Therefore, Long Xiaoyuan smiled and hugged Shi Qingzhou. Yes, that's right! The boat was right! "Actually, the ones who are taking the risk is them, not us!"

Shi Qingzhou smiled slightly when he heard this. Your Majesty, let's go out after we've eaten the breakfast. "

"Alright!" Long Xiaoyuan was looking forward to it. It wasn't that he wasn't afraid of death and wanted to get out at this time, but he felt that if he was protected by so many people, then he might as well not do anything!

He, Long Xiaoyuan, was not such a weak and useless person! He also didn't want to hide behind someone else!
