Your Highness, has he stopped today?

Miao Xing was obviously a little dazed: "Fa...what happened?"

Shi Yunjing knew that he would definitely ask this question, and told him hastily about some things that he had just entered the palace to find out.Miao Xing couldn't help but sigh, he didn't expect that so many things happened in the palace in just a few months.

Shi Yunjing sneered: "This kind of person also wants to marry sister, I will send him to hell first."

Miao Xing nodded: "Give me a little time, Your Highness, I will go to Zhu Mansion to explore the terrain first."

Shi Yunjing glanced at him in distaste: "Why are you poor in martial arts, and your brain is not good?"

Miao Xing: "Huh?"

Shi Yunjing: "Assassinate the court officials in other people's mansions, for fear that others will not know that you did it?"

Miao Xing was dumbfounded: "Then I should..."

Shi Yunjing said: "Zhu Pengxing is extravagant on weekdays, and often goes to the land of smoke and willows at night. You ambush him on the way back to his house, and you did it when you found the opportunity."

Miao Xing hurriedly agreed: "Yes, this subordinate obeys."

Shi Yunjing was still worried, and looked up at him again: "Do you want me to send a few more people with you?"

"No...no need, one subordinate is enough." Miao Xing bowed his head in shame.

Shi Yunjing glanced at him and said, "Don't reveal your identity."

"……Yes!"

So three days later, Dali Temple received a case in which Zhu Pengxing, the servant of the household department, and his two followers died in an alley in the middle of the night.There was no trace of a fight at the scene, and the throats of the dead were all sealed with a knife. It can be seen that the modus operandi was very neat. Presumably Zhu Pengxing's death should not have been too painful.

And because of this, Dali Temple was very clueless when investigating the case. Except for the three corpses, nothing was left at the scene, and it was impossible to tell whether the crime tool was a knife, sword or dagger, and this alley was very quiet. , and it is late at night, and watchmen will not pass by here.

After learning about this, Shi Yunjue led a dozen guards and rushed directly into the main hall of Lanyue Palace angrily, and shouted: "Shi Yunyao, come out for this king!"

Shi Yunyao came out from the inner hall, looked at his posture and frowned, and said in a low voice: "Shi Yunjue, are you crazy again?!"

Shi Yunjue went straight up, his eyes met, he didn't even care about etiquette, he grabbed her skirt viciously and stared at her: "Zhu Pengxing died, did you do it?"

How could Shi Yunyao have suffered such humiliation before? She raised her palm and slapped Shi Yunjue's face unceremoniously. There was a faint bloodstain on the cheek, and the fingerprints were also very obvious.

The guards brought by Shi Yunjue all drew their knives, Shi Yunyao said angrily: "Also regardless of the fact that your accusation has no evidence, I am your imperial sister, the princess of Da Chu, how can I tolerate your presumptuousness?" ?!"

She glanced sideways at the guards with knives, and sneered: "Why, do you still want to fight with Ben Gong? Come on, if you kill Ben Gong, your position in the Eastern Palace will come to an end!"

Shi Yunjue raised his hand and wiped the bloodstains on his face with his thumb, and took another step forward, with a look of contempt in his eyes: "Dali Temple is already investigating the case, and when the results are found, this king will let you go to the underworld to be a couple!"

Shi Yunyao: "You said that the man was killed by me? Your people have surrounded the Lanyue Palace inside and outside, so how can I send people out?"

But Shi Yunjue suddenly thought of something, and sneered: "Sister Huang reminded me, I really don't worry about my sister living alone in Lanyue Palace, in case she meets some young people secretly and plots to assassinate her." The imperial court ordered officials or something. Now I can only wrong the emperor to live in the East Palace for a while!"

Shi Yunyao frowned: "How dare you!"

"Why doesn't this king dare?" Shi Yunjue's eyes were full of mischief. "Come on, take the princess down!"

Speaking of two guards coming forward, Shi Yunyao's phoenix eyes showed killing intent, and she shouted sharply: "Who dares to touch this palace?!"

Those guards were also frightened by the aura of the first princess, no one dared to step forward to take her.Shi Yunjue frowned and said, "What are you afraid of? This king is the prince!"

Those guards were in a difficult situation for a while, Shi Yunyao closed her eyes and let out a breath slowly, it seemed that Shi Yunjue would not let it go until the end, but at this time Emperor Cheng'an was seriously ill, and all affairs of the court were in Shi Yunjue's hands, and now it is too late. There is no other way.

Shi Yunyao said: "I will go by myself."

Shi Yunjue smiled treacherously: "Under the eyes of this king, let's see how you can still play tricks."

Shi Yunyao looked straight ahead and walked past him, Shi Yunjue said in a low voice: "Last night, the king left Lanyue Palace with his guards, and one of them escaped by the way. Guess what happened?"

Shi Yunyao raised her eyelids to look at him.

Shi Yunjue: "I got hit by an arrow, I guess I won't survive."

Shi Yunyao sneered: "What does your bodyguard have anything to do with me?"

"Whether it matters or not, we'll see."

After finishing speaking, Shi Yunjue left with a flick of his sleeve, and a group of his guards followed Shi Yunyao and left Lanyue Hall together.

After Shi Yunjue brought Shi Yunyao back to the East Palace, he came to another wing.Shi Yunjue kicked open the door directly, squinted his eyes and said: "The inside of this wing room is fairly clean, as long as Miss Huang behaves well, I won't treat you badly."

Shi Yunyao snorted softly and walked in.

Shi Yunjue: "After all, when Zhu Pengxing's case is found out, Miss Huang will have to live in Dali Prison."

Shi Yunyao didn't bother to pay attention to him, and went straight into the back room.

Shi Yunjue felt bored, so he ordered the guards to guard the place, and then left.

Si Yunyao sat at the table, remembering what Shi Yunjue said about the person who was shot by the arrow last night, she frowned, and the handkerchief in her hand was twisted into a ball.

Three days later, Zhu Pengxing's case still has not been found out. A servant in the household department has died, and it has become a mess, but there is no one who can replace it.But the head of the Zhu family is gone, and the family members are also crying and clamoring for an explanation.

In the past few days, Shi Yunjue was very irritable.After urging Dali Temple several times, the Minister of Dali Temple personally went to investigate the scene of the crime, but still had no clue, as if it had become an unsolved case.

It wasn't until late at night on the fourth day that the guards came to report that someone seemed to have seen a figure in that alley, very similar to the sixth prince.

Hearing this, Shi Yunjue stood up suddenly: "Really?"

The guard hesitated: "I'm not sure...that figure is just similar, but it quickly ran away with light work."

Shi Yunjue walked around the room thinking for a while, and said: "I'd rather kill by mistake than let it go, if it really is Shi Yunjing, then Yunyao at the same time... and the entire Xiao family are dead ends! Quick, send someone to search the whole city!"

The guard asked: "Your Highness, how many people are you sending?"

"Send as many as you have! Send all the people from the East Palace! Search the whole city! Do you understand?" Shi Yunjue said impatiently.

"Yes, yes!" The guards took the order and left the East Palace with them.

The guards had left, but Shi Yunjue couldn't be idle.Walking around in the room, there is always a heart hanging.

As early as half a year ago, he had doubted whether Shi Yunjing was really alive.After all, his cheap younger brother is the only direct prince of the Chu Kingdom. In the eyes of others, he is going to inherit the throne. How could he die so easily?But now that he was told that Shi Yunjing was really still alive, he couldn't help feeling terrified.

It's almost midnight, but he hasn't felt sleepy yet.He wanted to wait for the guards to come back, and it would be best to capture his good brother alive, so that there would be no more worries...

Thinking of this, Shi Yunjue felt a little thirsty, and said in a deep voice, "Come here, pour tea."

No one responded to him.

Shi Yunjue frowned, and raised his voice, "Come here."

Finally someone came.

The man held the teapot, put the cup on the table, and poured a trickle of liquid into the cup from the mouth of the pot. Shi Yunjue picked up the cup and drank it down, but when he entered his throat, he found that the tea was cold. He frowned, Looking up at the person pouring the tea, Shi Yunjue was so shocked that he almost fell off the stool to the ground at that moment.

"You...how are you! What do you want to do!"

The visitor slowly put down the teapot, and slowly raised his eyes, Shi Yunjue flinched from his cold gaze.

Shi Yunjue glanced at the teacup subconsciously, showing panic: "Is there poison in this tea?"

Shi Yunjing smiled lightly: "Don't worry, it's non-toxic. It's just that my younger brother was worried that he would be thirsty for fourth brother, so he temporarily filled some water from the pond in the yard and brought it here. I hope fourth brother will not dislike it."

"You!" Shi Yunjue looked around and shouted, "Come here! Come here!!!"

"Who does fourth brother want to find?" Shi Yunjing looked at him indifferently, "I have knocked out all the maids, and you have sent out all the guards. Now there are only you and me in the East Palace. Did fourth brother forget? ?”

"Shi Yunjing! What on earth do you want to do?!" Shi Yunjue involuntarily leaned back.

Shi Yunjing slowly pulled out a chair and sat in front of him: "Those spies outside Xiao's mansion are all sent by Fourth Brother."

Shi Yunjue looked away, revealing a guilty conscience: "I don't understand what you're talking about..."

"The Xiao family army is now stationed in Xingcheng. You are worried that after General Xiao returns, the Xiao family will become too powerful, so you send people to watch it every day. You are also worried that if I am not dead, I will definitely hide in the Xiao family." Shi Yunjing laughed lightly. . "Fourth brother is a good plan."

"No...not!" Shi Yunjue hastily denied. "This is actually Father's plan! He was the one who was worried about the Xiao family's rebellion!"

"Shi Ningcheng?" There was no surprise on Shi Yunjing's face. "Father gave you the position of crown prince. He did this to pave the way for you. You confessed him so quickly?"

"Sixth brother, you believe me! This matter really has nothing to do with me!" Shi Yunjue grabbed Shi Yunjing's hand in a panic, "Those spies were sent by me, but they were all ordered by my father. !"

Shi Yunjing frowned at the wrist he was holding, stood up and kicked, Shi Yunjue was kicked two feet away.Shi Yunjing took out the crossbow, loaded it with an arrow, pressed his index finger on the mechanism, and pointed the arrow point at Shi Yunjue.

"If you don't mention Shi Ning Cheng, it's fine. After he killed my mother, I killed his son today, which is fair." Shi Yunjing looked at him coldly, "Fourth brother, what do you think?"
