King Xuan is the eldest son of Emperor Dayan, the Prince of Qizhu, who can command the first-rank generals of the Tianwu Army, and the emperor even handed over the patrol battalion to him.Huang Qi is Xiao Haoxuan's deputy general and the commander of the patrol battalion.

Xiao Haoxuan is also the owner of the Wenli Pavilion of the Jianghu Gang.Ever since Gu Yao left the pavilion master's order to Xiao Haoxuan, he took over the influence and business of the gang, and gradually took the power into his pocket.Nine years have passed, and he has become a veritable and uncompromising person in power in the Wenli Pavilion.

No matter in the court or in the Jianghu, Xiao Haoxuan has a lot of power, has good ears and eyes, and is well-informed.But it was so airtight, and the assassination happened right under his nose, which made Xiao Haoxuan furious.

Uncle Sun and Huang Qi had roughly understood what happened, so they naturally knew that Xiao Haoxuan was angry, and they knew that they had neglected their duties.

The two knelt down on one knee, "This subordinate has neglected his duty, please punish him!"

Xiao Haoxuan took a deep breath, and said in a cold voice, "Afterwards, you will be punished according to military law and gang regulations." Although they were dereliction of duty, it was not because they were incapable or did not fulfill their responsibilities.

Xiao Haoxuan gritted his teeth, the enemy is in the dark and we are clear, after all, it was his own bad move.

"Thank you, my lord, for your kindness!" This was already a light punishment.The two breathed a sigh of relief, bowed their heads in thanks, stood up, and waited for King Xuan's arrangement.

Xiao Haoxuan was expressionless, and did not show any emotion, "We will send more patrols and shifts tonight, and take strict precautions. Although curfew is not suitable, the complicated areas need to be evacuated. Especially the North Street where the incident happened, keep the situation under control and don't let The commotion and rumors spread."

"Yes! My subordinates have already sent two teams to North Street." Huang Qigang immediately gave orders after receiving the news.

Xiao Haoxuan nodded, with a flash of hostility in his eyes, his tone was sharp and decisive, "Let the patrol battalion surround Xia Guo's envoy's mansion layer by layer, no one can enter and no one is allowed out. Send the masters in the pavilion to monitor the blind spots And above, not a single fly is allowed to be released!"

"Your subordinates obey!" Huang Qi and Uncle Sun also looked dignified and spoke sternly.

Xiao Haoxuan's eyes were full of light, his thoughts were full of thoughts, and he had already thought through the cause of the incident in his mind.

He looked at Uncle Sun, "All the top and bottom of Xia Guo's envoy's mansion have been thoroughly investigated. Submit the news about the envoy's mansion in the past month, and I will see it in person. Especially Cui Yang, the admonishment doctor of Xia State, since he came to Beijing The subsequent whereabouts, wealth background, North Korea-China relations, thoroughly investigate to the end!"

Uncle Sun took the order, "Yes!"

At this time, Song Zheng and Zhong Ji happened to be returning from the palace, and they returned to their command, "My lord, the fourth prince and the fifth princess have been safely sent back to Weiyang Palace."

"The second prince and the third prince did not have any accidents, and they have arrived at Weiyang Palace safely."

Xiao Haoxuan closed his eyes slightly, and his heart really calmed down now.

Opening his eyes again, the man's eyes were only filled with Ling Lie and a flash of murderous intent.

"Zhong Ji, transfer government soldiers to guard Jishi Hall. Martial law, no free entry or exit."

"Yes, Zhong Ji takes command!"

After Xiao Haoxuan explained everything, he turned around and glanced at Wu Tian who was leaning on the door frame, and nodded slightly.

After receiving the reassuring look from the other party, the man left Jishi Hall quickly without any hesitation, rode his horse and swung his whip towards the palace.

When Xiao Haoxuan arrived at the palace, it was under martial law, and the imperial guards guarded the entire palace city like a solid iron wall.

He walked against the wind to Weiyang Palace, where Xiao Chuyi and Gu Yao were in Mingluan Palace.Both of them had serious expressions on their faces, and it was even more difficult for Xiao Chuyi to hide the evil spirit around him.

Xiao Haoxuan stepped into the hall in two steps, then knelt down and pleaded guilty, "I failed to protect Haojun and Haoyuan well, please forgive my father."

Xiao Chuyi had always treated the empress and prince informally, and he waived their rules in private, and he could hardly bow down.

But at this moment, Xiao Chuyi just looked at Xiao Haoxuan coldly and remained silent.

Instead, Gu Yao said helplessly, "Get up quickly, don't just kneel." After a pause, he asked worriedly, "What's wrong with Chen Yu? Can the poison be cured?"

Xiao Haoxuan still knelt down and looked at Gu Yao, "The poison can be cured, and there is no serious problem." He missed the child, and couldn't hide his guilt in his words, "Are Haojun and Haoyuan okay?"

Gu Yao nodded, trying to make a smile, not wanting to make Haoxuan blame himself, "They were a little frightened, the imperial doctor prescribed medicine, and fell asleep after drinking it. Si Chu and Nian Yi were in Jinmoju accompany."

Gu Yao and Xiao Chuyi also just put the children to sleep.

Xiao Haoxuan gritted his teeth, hating himself for not protecting his younger siblings, but also furious at those who tried to hurt them.

Gu Yao sighed, he and Chu Yi had already heard Song Zheng's report, and probably had an outline. "Get up, I can't blame you, it's easy to hide from the open spear, but hard to guard against the hidden arrow. Besides, isn't Haoyuan in good health, but Chen Yu..."

Gu Yao frowned slightly, and didn't say any more, but the three of them more or less guessed the conspiracy after the assassination.

Xiao Haoxuan looked at Xiao Chuyi coldly and firmly, "Father, please allow me two days. I will find out the ins and outs and find out the solution. I will not let anyone just bully Haoyuan like this, nor will anyone Such an insult to Dayan. At that time, I will let my father deal with it."

Xiao Chuyi squinted his eyes, his face paled.He knew that there were some things that he couldn't guard against no matter what, but even if his son Xiao Chuyi made a mistake, he had to be able to bear it, be able to support it, have a strong backbone and take responsibility.

This is Dayan's future prince.

Xiao Chuyi saw the current situation clearly, but he had no intention of intervening, "Get up. Since it happened within your sphere of influence, you must be responsible." Although he clearly accused his son, he agreed Xiao Haoxuan hosted the request for this matter.

Only then did Xiao Haoxuan get up, and cupped his hands to thank him, "Thank you for your kindness, father, I will definitely live up to my entrustment."

Xiao Chuyi knew that Xiao Haoxuan had a lot of things to do next, so he said in a deep voice, "You go."

"Yes, Erchen retire."

He raised his head to meet Gu Yao's comforting smile, and smiled towards him, Xiao Haoxuan nodded towards him, turned around and left Weiyang Palace.

Although all the poison in Xia Chenhuan's body was forced out, the poison had already caused temporary damage to the nerves.He fell asleep for two hours before waking up.

When Xia Chenhuan woke up, Lianqiu and Qingluo were guarding beside his bed.The two almost wept with joy, and shouted excitedly, "The princess is awake! You are awake! The princess is awake!"

Wu Tian, ​​who was dozing in the outer room, woke up immediately and walked into the inner room quickly.Seeing Xia Chenhuan woke up, she also smiled, and immediately stepped forward to feel her pulse.

Xia Chenhuan's head was dizzy, and she didn't know what day and night it was for a moment, but she was a little sober after being called by the maids.He looked around the room, saw Wu Tian again, and realized in a daze that he was in Jishitang.

The next moment, chaotic images flooded into his mind, Xia Chenhuan's pupils dilated, and his face instantly turned pale.

They met an assassin, and that assassin was the envoy of Xia Guo.

After Wu Tian took the pulse, his smile deepened, confirming that Xia Chenhuan was fine, but, "Is the princess feeling in her right hand?"

Xia Chenhuan was stunned, as if he hadn't heard him at all.Wu Tian had no choice but to raise his voice and shout, "Princess!"

Xia Chenhuan took a breath, regained consciousness suddenly, and looked at Wu Tian.

Just as Wu Tian was about to ask, King Xuan happened to walk into the house.

Xiao Haoxuan has been checking news reports, listening to inquiries, making arrangements, and handling affairs in the side room of Jishitang.He heard the servant girl shouting, so he got up and went to the inner room.

When Xia Chenhuan saw Xiao Haoxuan, his whole body tensed up for a moment.She was clearly walking on thin ice, but she couldn't avoid her eyes, staring at the man firmly.

Xiao Haoxuan looked at him expressionlessly, with dark eyes that were not ambiguous, making it impossible to guess his thoughts.

Wu Tianshi was worried, and asked loudly, "Princess, please try to move your right hand, do you feel it?"

Xia Chenhuan listened to Wu Tian's words now, he blinked in a daze, took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and then tried to make a fist and raise his hand.

But no matter how hard he tried, he could only raise his arm slightly and bend his fingers.The right arm seemed to be unfeeling and uncontrollable.

Xiao Haoxuan also sensed that something was wrong, and his brows became tighter.

Seeing that Xia Chenhuan's face became terrified, Wu Tian hurriedly said, "Princess, don't worry, the paralysis of the arm is only temporary. The toxin makes the nerves temporarily ineffective. As long as you drink the decoction on time, it will fully return to normal in three to five days, and there will be no pain left behind." Any hidden illness."

Xia Chenhuan relaxed after listening, and nodded to Wu Tian, ​​"Thank you Doctor Wu for saving me." But he was clearly in a state of anxiety.

Wu Tian winked and resigned immediately.Lianqiu and Qingluo also exited the room.

As soon as the door was closed, only Xiao Haoxuan and Xia Chenhuan were left in the room.

Xia Chenhuan wanted to get up and salute, but the man stopped him, "Lie down." He could only lean back on the bed, "Thank you, my lord."

Xia Chenhuan thought of the two children, felt guilty, and said dryly, "How are Haojun and Haoyuan?"

Xiao Haoxuan's tone was calm, "They're fine, they're sent back to Weiyang Palace with Si Chu and Nian Yi."

Fortunately, Hao Yuan was not hurt.After Xia Chenhuan finished asking, she couldn't resist the man's cold gaze.He lowered his eyes and pursed his lips, his heart was beating fast, and his mind was spinning non-stop.

Xiao Haoxuan was calm and calm, walked to the table and sat down, glanced at Xia Chenhuan, and said in a deep voice, "The assassin is the envoy of Xia Kingdom, Cui Yang."

Xia Chenhuan raised her head abruptly, clenching her teeth.If it was just ordinary Xia people who assassinated the prince, although Dayan would be furious, the relationship between the two countries would definitely be tense.But after all, it was unable to rise to the level of diplomacy, and Yan State could not and had no legitimate reason to tear up the covenant.

But the envoy represents a country's state system and political system, and makes assassinations.That means that Xia Guo himself betrayed the alliance, and resorted to such despicable methods.

Xiao Haoxuan didn't look at Xia Chenhuan, and seemed to receive it unintentionally, "He is an advising doctor of the Xia Kingdom, and he is very favored by the Emperor Xia."

Xia Chenhuan shuddered and straightened her upper body.Xiao Haoxuan was saying that the assassination of the envoy was ordered by the emperor, and he was justifying Xia Guo's rebellion.

Xia Chenhuan naturally knew Cui Yang's identity.The admonishing doctor is a provincial official under the sect. He and the Zhongshu Province share important information, discuss state affairs together, and often accompany the emperor.His uncle, Cui Daoyun, was the head of the Cui family's generation. He was an official to the Minister of the Household Department. He had always been neutral in the court and had no involvement in party disputes.

Therefore, Xiao Haoxuan believed that the assassination was secretly ordered by Emperor Xia, which was logical and logical.

but……

Xia Chenhuan looked directly at Xiao Haoxuan, and his words were light but firm, "My lord, please be clear, although I don't know why Cui Yang did such a wrong thing. But the assassination must have nothing to do with the father, and it does not represent Xia Guo's will! If the father The emperor ordered Cui Yang to assassinate Haoyuan. Although it is reasonable, it is not compatible with the situation. The court really wants to form an alliance with Dayan. I have married Dayan, and the two countries have opened up trade. The emperor is absolutely impossible to do such a thing. Doing things that harm others and benefit oneself will destroy Yanxia's friendship!"

Xiao Haoxuan stared at Xia Chenhuan, tapped his fingers on the table, raised his eyebrows and asked him, "You really don't know why he did this?" The man said he didn't know, but the lines in his words pointed out that the assassination was intended to provoke Yanxia's relationship, he was implying What is already clear isn't it.

Xia Chenhuan pursed his lips. He did have a guess, and only one guess.

"My lord is so smart, I can't think of you. If," Xia Chenhuan clenched his left fist and tightened his throat, "If Haoyuan was really assassinated and died, no matter what the truth is, whether it is the true intention of the Xia court or not, Dayan will surely be shocked." The people are burning with anger, and they are at odds with the state of Xia. Even if it is not because of love for his son, but because of the military power of the country, His Majesty will not let the prince die for nothing, and the war will break out immediately."

Xia Chen paused for a moment, "I'm sure I won't be able to live anymore, the marriage between the two countries has been wiped out. The prince was killed, and the Xia court was outraged, so there was a reason to send troops." He looked into Xiao Haoxuan's eyes, "So and so, after all Who is looking forward to it, and who is profiting from it. The prince must see it clearly than me."

This person is very eloquent at the moment, Xiao Haoxuan raised the corners of his mouth, but the smile did not reach his eyes, "What do I know? It is clear that Ruan Ji ordered Cui Yang to assassinate secretly, so as to break up the Yanxia alliance. This is to stabilize his own rights, and even replace him." ?”

Xia Chenhuan was taken aback, but Xiao Haoxuan didn't expect to say it directly.

There was suspicion in the man's eyes and his tone was indifferent. Xia Chenhuan couldn't speak for a while, so he could only look at him without flinching.
