Han Ke looked at the scene in front of him, and what Xiao Yan said earlier was still circling in his mind.

It has long been a secret that the prime minister's family formed a party with the crown prince. Thinking about it this way, Prime Minister Pan's youngest daughter put medicine in Xiao Yan's food in the name of Jincai, not because of her father's intention, but it must be the crown prince.

And this time Xiao Yan chose his concubine because of the prince's suggestion...

Han Ke looked at Liu Muchen, the latter's expression remained unchanged, as if he knew the twists and turns early in the morning.

That being the case, why was he so anxious just now? Was it just a play?

Han Ke looked at Liu Muchen thoughtfully, and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

The housekeeper looked at Xiao Yan, turned a deaf ear to his previous question, and only said: "Since the prince is not poisoned, why do you still have to act on the spot?"

"Although this king has suspicions about you, there is no evidence after all."

The butler sneered, "So the prince is waiting for an opportunity?"

"Not necessarily." Xiao Yan paused, and said with a smile: "Back then, this king saw you living in the capital, lonely and helpless, and he was cautious and reliable, so he brought you back to the palace. For so many years, you are considered as this king. Do your best, if not for this accident, this king will never doubt you..."

Liu Muchen looked at Xiao Yan in surprise, and there seemed to be regret in that smile.Betrayed by a trusted person, he wasn't angry, but just helpless?

Could Xiao Yan have this kind of character?

Liu Muchen looked at the butler, who still had a dazed expression on his face, as if he was deeply touched by Xiao Yan's words.

"Ask yourself, in these years in the Xuanning Palace, the lord has never treated a villain for a moment." The housekeeper took a step forward, and the soldiers who stood in front of him retreated to the two sides. He walked up to Xiao Yan and bent his knees. , Kneeling down straight like that.

"However, I can't serve the two masters alone. Since the villain voted for His Royal Highness, he can only feel sorry for the lord." The steward paused, then bent down, and made a soft sound when his forehead touched the ground: "This kowtow is considered to be repaying the lord." years of trust."

Xiao Yan looked down at the housekeeper and remained silent.

Liu Muchen's gaze lingered between the two of them, and they were fighting each other just now, but now an emotional drama is staged.

Liu Muchen looked at Xiao Yan with such emotion, could it be that peace is the most important thing?

Liu Muchen thought to himself for a moment, now nearly half of the soldiers in the government have become the butlers. Judging from the posture of these people, it seems that their martial arts are far superior to ordinary soldiers in the government. If they fight hard...

Well, it is the best policy to turn hostility into friendship.Although this housekeeper is the secret work of the prince, he also seems to be a person who values ​​love and righteousness...

Liu Muchen turned his head, and was about to hint to Xiao Yan to give the butler a booster, when suddenly there was a crisp sound in the room.

"Lord, be careful!"

Han Ke's coquettish voice suddenly resounded, Liu Muchen shook his head slightly, a glare of white light suddenly caught in the corner of his eyes, the butler's sinister smile made Liu Muchen's whole body chill, he watched the sharp point of the knife go straight to Xiaoyan's chest ...

Almost instinctively, Liu Muchen quickly clasped Xiao Yan's waist with his hands. He threw his body into Xiao Yan's arms, and his back met the blade without warning.

Before long, a long sword flew in from outside the house, only to hear the housekeeper scream, and the dagger in his hand that was about to pierce Liu Muchen's back was sent flying straight away.

Liu Muchen's closed eyes slowly opened. He looked at the sword stuck three centimeters above his head, and couldn't help but cast his eyes outside the door.

There stood a man in black clothes, with thin cheeks, wheat-colored skin, and sharp eagle eyes under thick eyebrows. Liu Muchen just exchanged glances with him, and couldn't help but look away.

Wait, why does this person look familiar?

Liu Muchen thought about it, but he couldn't think of anything.

The butler held his wrist that was injured by the sword qi, gritted his teeth and looked at the man in black standing quietly outside the door, and sneered at Xiao Yan: "I knew that the prince's affection was fake, but I didn't want to return it earlier." Good man, he acted so carefully, the villain admires him."

Xiao Yan hugged Liu Muchen, and showed a rather sincere smile to the butler: "I am sincere in every word, but you have evil thoughts in your heart. It happened just now, but it was just a coincidence."

The housekeeper sneered, and he staggered up from the ground. Just in time, those fake government soldiers with knives came up to meet him again.

"My lord, be careful!" Seeing this, the soldiers belonging to Xiao Yan's faction all looked ready to go.

"Get out of the way." The deep voice of the man in Xuanyi came, and he walked into the room, every movement was filled with thick hostility.

When the soldiers of the pros and cons saw this, they unconsciously broke out in a cold sweat.All beings in the world have an instinctive fear of threats stronger than themselves.

The man in black walked up to Xiao Yan, Liu Muchen turned his back to him, but he could feel his sharp eyes lingering on him. The sword slowly walked to the front.

Liu Muchen held Xiao Yan's shoulder, and turned around suddenly before the other party reacted. This time, he clearly saw the appearance of the man in black.

It's him!

Liu Muchen's heart moved, and a familiar feeling rushed into his mind. Isn't this man in Xuanyi the one who assassinated the prince on his first day in this era!Although he was covering his face at the time, Liu Muchen's memory of that movement was still fresh.

"Recognized?" Xiao Yan's voice came from behind with a smile.

Liu Muchen was slightly taken aback. Xiao Yan hoped that he would recognize the swordsman. If he nodded, he would have captured the key person who had Xiao Yan assassinating the crown prince. If he informed the crown prince, then Xiao Yan...

"If you recognize it, you recognize it." Xiao Yan smiled disapprovingly, "What are you thinking?"

"I didn't mean to recognize it." Liu Muchen paused, and tentatively said: "Your Highness is not afraid that I'm a spy, when the time comes to inform the Prince?"

"Although my elder brother is timid, he has a good brain. I'm afraid he will know it early in the morning."

Liu Muchen nodded, no wonder Xiao Yan was so determined, what he said was indeed reasonable.

"And..." Xiao Yan said with a deep smile, "I believe you can't."

Liu Muchen blinked, and jokingly said: "What if, the prince's words mean that he intends to touch me too?"

Xiao Yan knew that Liu Muchen was talking about the housekeeper, so he couldn't help laughing and said: "I don't know good and bad, how can you be like him?"

Liu Muchen remained silent, but at this moment, shouts suddenly sounded one after another in front of him.I saw those fake government soldiers who seemed to have extraordinary skills all fell to the ground, with broken blades scattered around their feet. They closed their eyes, and they didn't know whether they were fainted or dead.

Liu Muchen stared dumbfounded at the man in Xuanyi who was holding the sword. The latter pushed his knee hard, and pushed the butler who was still trying to resist to the ground.

God, is this the peerless master who is said to be hidden in the city? !

Liu Muchen looked at the swordsman, his eyes sparkled with excitement.

Han Ke stood beside him, with disbelief in her apricot eyes, she was silent for a moment, and sighed: "I can't imagine that there are such masters under the prince's hands."

Xiao Yan didn't answer, he looked down at the resentful butler, and said with a smile: "Guess, if I detain you and go to the emperor to sue you, accusing you of cooperating with the prime minister's daughter to poison the king, Will my elder brother send someone to rescue you?"

The butler raised the corners of his lips and said with a sneer, "The prince and His Highness have been at odds for a long time. Even if the emperor favors the prince and involves disputes between princes, the emperor may not listen to the prince's side."

"The evidence is all there." The man in black said lightly, and shouted out the door: "Come in."

God, what is the background of this person, he is even less disciplined than him?

Liu Muchen sighed in his heart, at the right time, a woman walked in outside the door, Han Ke saw it, and asked in surprise, "It's you?"

The one who came in was the daughter of the fifth-rank official who had been bullied by Pan Qu earlier.

She walked into the house obediently, with a trace of panic on her face.Liu Muchen looked at her. Not only was Xiao Yan present in this room, but it was also filled with the bloody smell of swords, lights and swords. No wonder this girl was afraid...

Liu Muchen turned his head to look at Han Ke, admiring her calmness from the bottom of his heart.

The girl walked up to Xiao Yan and saluted, then handed the object in her hand to Xiao Yan, and said softly: "My lord, the little girl and Miss Pan were cooking together in the kitchen earlier, but I didn't know Fainted out for no reason, after waking up her body was tied up, the little girl struggled and overturned the vegetables that Miss Pan had used up earlier, and found this thing in it."

In her hand was a small piece of oil paper, which contained a little white powder, and a small piece of bright red lump was mixed in the powder.

Liu Muchen's heart moved, he broke free from Xiao Yan and walked to Pan Qu's side. The latter was resting his head on the edge of the bed, his face was pale, and he was quietly closing his eyes at this moment. Just like that, he passed out.

He said, why did the young miss suddenly stop so quietly...

Liu Muchen squatted down and looked at Pan Qu's fingers. The thick and gaudy scarf was all over the finger shell, but there was a small piece on the index finger, which was very similar in shape to the small red piece in the white powder.

After all, it's a novel, it's all a routine...

Liu Muchen shook his head with a smile, he raised Pan Qu's hand and shook it at the housekeeper, and said with a smile, "Wrap Miss Pan's five fingers with a white cloth, and then compare the remaining powder, the emperor is wise, what is going on, presumably Know for yourself."

Liu Muchen paused, and then said: "When you enter the palace, Your Excellency's life will be up to you. Whatever His Highness the Crown Prince has done at that time, I'm afraid it won't be covered by paper."

The butler stared at Liu Muchen with a gloomy expression, the cold light in his eyes was like a letter spit out by a poisonous snake, after a while, his body moved forward slightly, Xiao Yan squinted his eyes, and subconsciously blocked Liu Muchen...

"Woo--" A muffled hum came from the butler's throat, and for a moment, thick black blood slowly flowed from the corner of his mouth. He opened his eyes full of hatred and ridicule, and his body was like a mummy Knock straight to the ground.

The man in black frowned, he looked over the butler's face, and said with a heavy body, "He hid the poison between his teeth."

Liu Muchen blinked his eyes, and committed suicide by taking poison when he was forced to go to Liangshan. He didn't expect that with the virtue of the prince, he could get such a loyal soldier.

Xiao Yan stared at the butler with his eyes wide open for a while, then stretched out his hand to pull Liu Muchen up.

"Hiss—" Xiao Yan's hand happened to touch Liu Muchen's injured elbow, causing the latter to gasp in pain.

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, he gently lifted up Liu Muchen's sleeve, and the cut that was drawn on the rose engraving was exposed to the air, yellow pus had faintly leaked inside, and the white flesh was red and swollen. It's a shocking feeling...
