The courtyard looked deserted, but it became even more deserted after entering.

The untended weeds in the yard are now withered, and it makes people feel desolate at first glance. It is the first time that Li Yue knows that such a place can be found in the capital, and Zhao Xun gave it to him. live on.

Shen Xuan took a peek at Li Yue's expression, knowing that he was angry, so he turned his head and gave the steward a piece of silver and said, "You go first, we will leave on our own after finishing our errands and passing on the message."

The steward collected the money, but was worried that Shen Xuan was holding the badge from the Ministry of Rites, so he turned around and left without asking any further questions.

When there were only the two of them left in the courtyard, Li Yue said angrily: "How unreasonable, there is not even a guard, if someone comes to assassinate Zhao Xun, wouldn't it be a hit?"

"Calm your anger, you are now the guard of my mansion." Shen Xuan reminded in a low voice.

Hearing this, Li Yue walked towards the main hall of the small courtyard, but when he entered the room, he found no one there, and the furnishings in the room looked very simple, and it didn't look like a place where people had stayed at all.

The two went out of the main hall and walked around the corridor to the backyard. From a distance, they saw Zhao Xun sitting by the small stove and lighting a fire, while Zhao Xiaowu was chopping firewood on the other side.

Li Yue suddenly felt a little sour. Although Zhao Xun was not welcomed in Da Xia, Gao Low was a third prince, so he would not be wronged like this.Unexpectedly, when he arrived in Dayu, he would do such things under his nose.

"What do you two do?" Zhao Xun raised his eyes to see that the clothes of the two did not look like people from Honglu Temple, so he asked.

Shen Xuan took a step forward, couldn't help but lifted the lid of the pot and took a look, the rice inside was scattered on the bottom of the pot, looking very shabby.

"Is this how people from Honglu Temple treat protons?" Shen Xuan asked.

"It's not bad to have rice in the pot." Zhao Xunhun replied indifferently.

Judging from his tone, it seems that he is used to this kind of treatment.After a little thought, he knew that his situation in the guest house ten years ago might not be better than it is now, besides, Zhao Xun was still a child at that time.

Shen Xuan glanced back at Li Yue, the other party seemed to avoid Zhao Xun intentionally, it seemed that he didn't intend to reveal his identity, so Shen Xuan said: "We are from the Ministry of Rites, and we are here to check on your situation as usual. Then go to report to His Majesty. Do you have anything to say to His Majesty?"

An almost gentle smile flashed across Zhao Xun's face, and then his face turned, and he changed back to that calm and breezy look, and said: "Then just say something, let him not worry about it."

Shen Xuan was startled, and asked: "Third Prince intends to be so wronged forever?"

Zhao Xun looked up at him and said, "I don't feel wronged."

As soon as he said this, not only Shen Xuan, but even Li Yue were a little surprised.Zhao Xun would rather stay here and cook by himself than ask Li Yue for help.

"Okay, don't bother me then." After saying that, Shen Xuan turned around and glanced at Li Yue, and then pulled him outside.

Zhao Xun raised his head and glanced at the two, his eyes froze suddenly, and he subconsciously said, "Please stay."

The two turned their heads at the same time, and Zhao Xun looked at Li Yueyi Rongcheng's guard for a moment with complicated expressions.Li Yue's heart skipped a beat, feeling that Zhao Xun had almost recognized him, but Zhao Xun stared at him for a moment, but only said: "Please go slowly."

Li Yue breathed a sigh of relief at that moment, he didn't want to meet Zhao Xun in such a situation.But at the same time, he was a little disappointed. He didn't know why, but he was looking forward to Zhao Xun's recognition of him at any time, even if he changed his face.

But Zhao Xun didn't.

When the two left the guest house, Li Yue kept his face sullen all the way, until he returned to Shen's house and took off his mask, he still had an unhappy expression on his face.

"It's not your fault. You don't have to blame yourself. I'll go to see Hong Luqing in person and ask him to relocate Zhao Xun." Shen Xuan comforted.

However, Li Yue sighed and said: "I really don't understand. He and I have been friends since childhood, and he was wronged under my nose. Why didn't he ask me for support? Did he not trust me, or was he unwilling to get involved with me? relation?"

"Maybe I'm just afraid of causing you trouble?" Shen Xuan said.

Li Yue said: "It's all about placing a proton, what's the trouble!"

Shen Xuan didn't know much about the grievances and old affairs between him and Zhao Xun, so he couldn't comment too much, so he reluctantly comforted him: "He is Da Xia's proton, and he has a special status. He may be afraid of getting close to you. Someone is talking nonsense."

"My friendship with him shows that Dayu intends to make friends with Daxia. This is a good thing for the people of the two countries. What is there to gossip about?" Li Yue said: "If it weren't for those old stubborn people who sent Zhao Xun back to Daxia, these Why has the border between the two countries been entangled and entangled so peacefully?"

Shen Xuan coughed lightly, but did not speak.Li Yue is already angry, he can't continue to add fuel to the fire.

At this time, a cat meowed, Shen Xuan turned around, and a cat emerged from behind the screen, it was the one he carried into the palace earlier.The cat was also really clingy, it disappeared for a while, and now it came to look for Shen Xuan again.

Li Yue glanced at the cat, and wanted to touch it behind him, but the cat shrank and quickly avoided Li Yue's hand.Li Yue snorted, and withdrew his hand in embarrassment, Shen Xuan hurriedly put the cat aside, lest Li Yue look unhappy.

"Let's leave this matter to you. Tomorrow... no, I will resettle them today. They will be given according to the specifications and no deduction will be made." Li Yue said: "Your mansion will send ten trustworthy guards alone. Go, the salary will be taken from the private treasury for you."

Shen Xuan hurriedly nodded yes, and Li Yue was relieved.

On that day, Li Yue didn't let Shen Xuan see him off, but urged him to settle Zhao Xun's matter, and he was sent back to the palace by the guards.

Li Yue felt very sorry and wanted to go to see Zhao Xun to comfort him for a while, but when he thought about Zhao Xun's previous situation, he felt very ashamed and felt a little embarrassed to see him.

After nearly half a month like this, Shen Xuan came to tell Li Yue about Zhao Xun's situation every few days. , it doesn't seem to make any difference.

But just after Shen Xuan came to report that day, the place where Zhao Xun was placed was attacked by assassins that night.Fortunately, the guards arranged by Shen Xuan were good, Zhao Xun was not seriously injured, but was scratched by the back arrow on his shoulder.

Zhao Xiaowu bandaged Zhao Xun's wound in shock, Zhao Xun's face was pale.There is a sleeve arrow on the table next to it, and the arrow still has Zhao Xun's blood on it.And on the hilt of the Xiujian, a small dragon claw was engraved.

"Third brother, these assassins are really... who sent them?" Zhao Xiaowu asked.

Zhao Xun sneered and said, "Does he need to wait until now if he wants to kill me?"

That's true, if Li Yue wanted to kill him, there would have been 1 good chances when he was in Beijiang that he wouldn't leave anything behind.This kind of framing trick seems like a joke to Zhao Xun.

"So someone framed him?" Zhao Xiaowu asked.

"En." Zhao Xun responded, and closed his eyes tiredly.

After a while, Zhao Xun said: "I'm afraid that if the matter spreads to the palace tomorrow morning, he will act impulsively. If I knew it would be used as a pawn against him, I shouldn't have allowed him to come to the capital."

Zhao Xun glanced at the sleeve arrows on the table, and said: "You go to the guards on duty and find out if there are any other sleeve arrows. If there are any, let them keep them and hand them over to Mr. Shen. Don't let others fall hands."

Zhao Xiaowu left after hearing the words.Fortunately, the people in the mansion are all arranged by Shen Xuan, but they respect Zhao Xun, and his words are probably useful.

However, even so, a sleeve arrow was placed in front of the courtiers at the morning court on the second day, and the one who put out the sleeve arrow was Honglu Qing Yan Mingren.In any case, Zhao Xun's current affairs are still under the control of Honglu Temple.

Before Li Yuezao went to the court, he was hastily informed of this matter by the people sent by Shen Xuan.After he was shocked, he felt relieved when he learned that Zhao Xun was fine. He never thought that there would be such a thing waiting for him in the morning.

"The dragon claws are engraved on this sleeve arrow, which is really incomprehensible. However, although the dragon claw pattern is only found on the utensils approved by the imperial court, I believe that what happened last night must have nothing to do with your majesty." Yan Mingren, Minister of Honglu opened the mouth.

On the surface, these words sounded like excuses for Li Yue, but in fact they pointed the finger of suspicion at Li Yue accurately. The courtiers present were discussing for a while, and the court hall suddenly became noisy.

A little Hongluqing dared to be so arrogant, Li Yue was almost pissed off.

"My lord Yan's words are wrong. I haven't said anything yet, but you have excused me first." Li Yue stared at Yan Mingren coldly and said.

As soon as he said this, many people were bewildered, thinking that this little ancestor is going to admit to the assassination last night?Assassinating the proton is bound to intensify the conflict between the two countries. Li Yue would not do it if he had a brain.

If he admits this matter, wouldn't it be tantamount to admitting in disguise that the emperor of Dayu did not hesitate to kill the proton of the enemy country in order to stimulate the conflict between the two countries?In short, he admits that he is a fool.

"I heard that Honglu Temple treated the Third Prince harshly before, so I was very worried about the situation of the Third Prince. After thinking about it yesterday, I came up with such a method. The purpose is to try to see whether the guards around the Third Prince are not good enough. "Li Yue said.

It seems that it is not very useful, otherwise it will not be injured.

"In this case, I must place the third prince in a safer place." Li Yue got up and walked to Yan Mingren, looked at him coldly and said: "I want to bring the third prince to the palace, and I will oppose you in everything." People, just want to provoke the contradiction between Dayu and Daxia, which is tantamount to treason."

Yan Mingren was so stared at by him that his whole body was hairy, thinking why this little ancestor went out for a trip and came back like a different person.

"Your Majesty is wise." Shen Xuan, one of the courtiers, said.

"Your Majesty is wise." Then someone echoed.

The two auxiliary ministers sitting on the side were all expressionless, but they looked at Li Yue with a little more guard and scrutiny.

"Then today I ordered the third prince to enter the palace, and he will live in the kilometer from now on." After Li Yue said that, he did not forget to look at the two auxiliary ministers, who naturally did not object.

Once the big hat of treason was buckled, no one had any reason to object.
