Brother Huang, he has been planning for a long time

"..." The man in black didn't say anything. Suddenly, there was the sound of chaotic footsteps outside the door, and then a cold and calm voice came.

"Be brave. An assassin escaped in the city tonight. The eldest prince ordered the entire city to be searched. Who are you who dare to stop us?"

"No matter who comes to search, no one is allowed to enter this room. We, King Yan, are in the room. If you are disturbed, can you afford the consequences?" Qingchen remembered that this was the voice of Shadow Guard Qixian.

"King Yan? Are you from King Yan of Xihe Kingdom?" The leader of the search asked with a hint of distrust in his voice, "Who is in the room?"

Qixian stared at the leader in front of him, and saw that he was wearing a military uniform and armor, and seemed to be a general.

Thinking of His Majesty's instructions, their trip was based on the identity of King Yan. King Yan currently only has one concubine, so he said: "There is King Yan's concubine in the room. The empress is resting. You can't go in and search her."

"The concubine of King Yan?" Beibing Kingdom General Baili Tu pondered. There were no women in their team, so it was really inappropriate to break into the concubine of King Yan of Xihe Kingdom like this.

At present, King Yan is indeed a guest of the eldest prince.

"Why did the eldest prince invite King Yan to a gathering today, and since the concubine came to Boyue City, she did not accompany King Yan to the banquet?" Baili Tu questioned.

"My queen has been traveling for many days and is not feeling well. It is not appropriate to accompany the prince to the banquet. What, does the general have any objections?"

"This general is just following the order of the eldest prince to search the whole city. So please ask the queen to open the door and let us enter and search, so as to prevent assassins from breaking into the queen's room and hurting the queen." Their voices were so loud, The people in the room showed no reaction, which was really suspicious.

"You're impudent!" Qixian drew his sword to stop them.

"What did you say, general? It's just that I am taking a bath and it is really inconvenient for the general to come in and search." Qingchen could certainly hear them arguing at the door, and she was not deaf.

"Bath?" When Bailitu heard this, he felt more and more suspicious. Is it really such a coincidence?

"Please open the door, please..."

"General, this request is too much. I said I was taking a bath. If the general still wants to force his way in, won't he be afraid of offending my prince?" A soft voice came from the room, but it was just a little cold.

Bailitu didn't want to give in at all. The eldest prince had told him not to let go of any corner of Boyue City.

So he didn't go in to search, and he didn't even plan to stop.

The seven-stringed protector is the one who stops them with a sword.

When the two sides were in a stalemate, He Lanyan happened to come back.

"Why are you blocking the door of my royal room?" When he saw soldiers from the Northern Ice Kingdom surrounding the door of Qingchen's room, his handsome face showed a hint of displeasure.

"Your Majesty." Qixian immediately handed over to him, "This person claimed that the eldest prince was searching for assassins, and the empress was bathing inside, and they actually wanted to break in!"

"Your Majesty." Bailitu looked at the man in front of him. Although he had never seen He Lanxuan, the man in front of him did wear the unicorn jade pendant of the royal family of Xihe. He hesitated for a moment and saluted him, "Your Majesty is polite, and the general will be Baililu under the command of the eldest prince. Tonight, an assassin broke into the prison in the city. This assassin was very skilled in martial arts and injured many of us. The general has been chasing the assassin's traces and found that he is most likely hiding in this inn. Jiang wanted to enter the prince's room to search because he was afraid that the assassin would hurt the empress, and had no other intention."

When He Lanyan heard this, his dark eyes were filled with coldness, "Can't I just search my room? What's more, my princess is taking a bath, didn't you hear?"

"Your Majesty..." Baili Tu looked embarrassed, "The general has no other intentions. It is just the order of the eldest prince. The general does not dare to disobey."

He Lanyan stared at him with cold eyes and was silent for a moment, knowing that if he didn't resolve the matter properly at this time. This person will not give up. If someone is sent to watch them again, it will be inconvenient for them to do anything.

"I will go in and check my king's room myself. If there is no assassin as you mentioned, you should leave as soon as possible and don't disturb my princess."

"This……"

"Is it possible that you suspect that the assassin is my king? Do you still want to go in and search in person?"

"General, that's not what I meant." He naturally knew that the assassin could not be from Xihe Kingdom, so he could only agree, "This will cause trouble for the prince."

He Lanyan thought for a moment and found out that He Lanxuan's concubine was the concubine of a fourth-rank official in the Western Capital City, named Shi Shi.

He never mentioned to Qingchen that he was now carrying He Lanxuan's identity, thinking that she was so seasick.

When he came to Boyue City, he definitely didn't want to follow him to the eldest prince's banquet. He didn't expect to encounter them searching for assassins.

"Shishi." He called softly, "This is my king."

"Your Majesty, I'm taking a bath, so it's really inconvenient to open the door." A deep and soft voice came from inside.

"Boyue City is not safe tonight. I just went in to take a look and confirm your safety."

There was silence in the room for a moment, and then a soft voice came out again, "Then please invite the prince to come in."

He Lanyan pushed the door open and walked in. As soon as he entered the room, he saw a wooden barrel reflected on the screen in the room, and the sound of water could be heard from inside.

He did not step forward, but through the screen he did see Qing Chen's exposed shoulders inside the barrel.

He Lanyan unnaturally withdrew his gaze and glanced around the room.

Although this room is large, it is clear at a glance whether it can hide people.

"You have been in the room, have you seen anyone suspicious?" He asked softly, but the relationship between the two had not reached that point.

So I didn't cross the screen to check her bed.

"I have been in the room the whole time and I have not seen anyone suspicious, so please rest assured, Your Majesty." Qingchen held his hand on the edge of the barrel and said softly.

"Where's Xingxue?"

"I asked her to go out and buy something."

When He Lanyan heard this, he turned around and left the room without asking any further questions.

The moment the door was closed, Qingchen immediately pulled the man out of the bucket of water, "Brother Emperor, are you okay?"

The black cloth on the Yueqing River was pulled down, revealing his stern face.

At this time, he stared at the person in the same wooden barrel with him with complex eyes. There were petals floating on the surface of the wooden barrel, but her delicate body, which was not naked, was still looming in the water.

He turned away, "Why did you come to this Arctic country?"

"I came here with He Lanyan." She told the truth, and then when she knew the people outside had dispersed, she frowned and asked, "Why did Brother Huang come to the Arctic Country?"

And became an assassin.

Yue Qinghe was silent and had no intention of telling the truth. He stood up and got out of the barrel with her on his back.

"Brother Emperor," she called softly, with worry on her face, "What dangerous things are you doing?"

What happened in Dongming Country?

Seeing that he was about to leave without saying a word after getting out of the barrel, she hurriedly got out of the barrel and hugged him from behind, regardless of whether she was naked or not, "Yue Qinghe, there is something you can't tell me. of?"

"You can't be involved in this matter, you... let go."

"Okay, if you don't want to tell me, I won't ask any more questions, but at least you can change into clean clothes before leaving."
