Du Ruan'an felt bad when he found the empty secret room on the day the crown prince was assassinated.

He? Immediately used manpower to search for anyone who had been close to the capital, hoping that Xiu Jin would come out to get some air instead of someone else?

The next day, when I heard that the Crown Prince was killed by an assassin in the East Palace and had his head cut off, the feeling of misfortune in my heart became more and more intense.

The emperor fell ill in a hurry, so there is no need for the courtiers to go to the morning court.

But staying at home is uncomfortable.

Du Ru'an looked at the imperial army who came to search, and he and Du Chengfeng remained silent.

Du Ruqing stood next to her mother and said in a low voice, "Mother, I have already searched two or three times this year."

Madam Du pressed her hand on her arm and said in a low voice: "Keep your voice down. We have done nothing wrong, so we will not be afraid to search again and again."

Du Ruqing curled her lips lightly, raised her eyes and suddenly caught a glimpse of her father looking at her brother.

Just a glance, then quickly moved away, and turned to look at the guards who were searching.

She felt a little weird.I can't help thinking about the look in my father's eyes just now... Seems like he is very dissatisfied with his brother.

how could be?

Her brother is so outstanding, her parents have always been very satisfied with him.

After all the calculations, there is only one person who was found out from the secret room before, and there is a lot of trouble, and it is not good? Was he framed by someone?

She thought about it, and felt that she might be wrong.

Or, when there are political disagreements in the court, this is a common occurrence.

Du Ruqing put this look behind her.

Halfway through the search by the imperial army, the people in the palace came to declare Duru? Anjin the palace face.

So Du Ruan returned to his courtyard, changed his clothes, and followed others into the palace.

He lowered his eyes and remained silent.

The father-in-law who came to pass the decree smiled softly and answered with him: "Lord Du, when you meet with the Holy Majesty later, you should be more careful. Your Majesty is very upset that something happened to His Majesty the Crown Prince. , presumably you can understand."

Du Ru'an nodded: "Of course, father-in-law is worried."

"You guessed it, Your Majesty? It seems that Lord Du is going to be in charge of investigating the assassin. Yesterday, His Highness the Sixth Highness originally wanted to investigate, so I asked His Majesty to persuade you to go back. Lord Du has always been trusted by Your Majesty."

Du Ruan smiled and said: "It is a blessing for Du Moumou to earn His Majesty's trust by doing things for His Majesty."

They whispered all the way to the emperor's bedroom.

The emperor was wearing pajamas, looking haggard, with a fox fur draped over his shoulders, reading the memorial.

Seeing Du Ru'an, he put down the folder in his hand and called out, "Give me a seat for Du Aiqing."

"I called you here today because of the assassination of the crown prince. Half a year ago, the crown prince was assassinated by the assassins of the Ying Dynasty outside the imperial palace. Now, in just half a year, they entered the East Palace to be assassinated. They made it! How ridiculous!?"

"I order you to take charge of this matter, okay? Okay? Find out, how many ghosts are hidden in this palace." The emperor coughed a few times angrily, took a big sip of tea, and then said: "If you let him They are so arrogant, I can't guarantee that I will be assassinated in that golden palace tomorrow!"

"Yes, I will live up to His Majesty's high expectations."

The emperor talked a lot with Du Ruan.

When the key to the palace was about to be released, Du Ru'an left.

As they walked along the palace road, they could meet many court ladies and eunuchs one after another along the way.

Suddenly, they heard two maids sweeping the floor in a low voice: "I heard from Mammy that the Sixth Highness went to His Highness the Crown Prince's palace so that His Highness the Crown Prince could see that young eunuch , all the thoughts of His Highness the Crown Prince."

Another court lady whispered: "Oh my god, what about His Royal Highness? It's so tragic. It's the last time to see your sweetheart. It's a pity that it's not your sweetheart who died, but His Highness? Something happened to you."

"According to me, His Royal Highness Six? You shouldn't talk nonsense. What? What's the matter? Think about it, isn't this a good? Okay? Curse Prince? Your Highness?"

"Keep your voice down, Your Highness the Sixth Prince? What's wrong? They are also kind-hearted. But the little eunuch should have died in the East Palace too. Based on this calculation, they have nothing to do with the Crown Prince. Your Highness? It can be regarded as a pair of desperate mandarin ducks."

Du Ru? An only felt a puff of air stuck in his chest, making him dizzy and almost fainted in the palace. ?

What little eunuch can the eunuch see?

Besides Xiu Jin? Who could it be?

So it turned out that it was the sixth prince who took people away from his secret room.

They "worked hard" and did everything possible to re-design a more hidden secret room, and acted cautiously, just to hide Xiu Jin and save his life, but all of this was ruined by the sixth prince!

Du Ruan's eyes were bloodshot for a moment and turned scarlet.

He grabbed the maid's hand and asked sharply, "What do you mean eunuch? Everyone in the Eastern Palace is dead!? Where did you hear that?!"

The two maids were whispering in a low voice, but a man would suddenly appear after turning the corner, and they were so frightened that they knelt down and begged for mercy.

"My lord, please forgive my life. This servant is talking nonsense. I have heard it from other people. I don't know anything. I beg my lord to forgive my servant! I will never dare to chew my tongue anymore! Please! My lord! "

Du Ruan grabbed the court lady, lifted her up from the ground, and asked coldly, "I'm asking you, where did you hear that? Is everyone in the Eastern Palace really dead!?"

The palace maid said tremblingly: "I heard this from a nanny in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. I don't know too well. I only heard that the maids and eunuchs in the East Palace were all dead. None of them survived." .The eunuch brought into the East Palace, was, was it His Highness the Sixth Prince? He said it himself in the palace..."

Du Ru'an's heart ached like a twist, and she let go of the maid in a slumped manner.

The two court ladies knelt on the ground, lying on their stomachs, not daring to get up, and kept chanting for mercy.

When he looked up again, Du Ruan was no longer on the road.

Du Ru'an returned to the capital with a dazed expression, opened the secret room, and entered it with a light on.

Empty, no one.

It's not dreaming, his Xiu Jin is really gone.

Du Ru An bowed his body, put his head in his hands and let out a low weeping sound, followed by a strong killing intent towards the sixth prince.

They should know, they should know.

Xue Fuguang reminded them over and over again that he couldn't let the sixth prince become powerful, he should know.

Xue Fuguang never miscalculated, they shouldn't have thought too much at the beginning, they only wanted to restrain the crown prince and the sixth prince, and maintain a balance in the middle.

Du Ruan stayed in the secret room all night, and when he came out the next day, his face was pale, his eyes were bloodshot, scarlet as if he was about to bleed.

He frightened the servant: "Young master, what's the matter with you? Do you want to invite the doctor to come and take a look?"

Du Ru'an's voice was hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken for decades: "No, you all go out. Go to someone and tell me that I'm sick, so I won't be on duty today."

"Yes." The servants didn't dare to speak too much in front of Du Ruan, especially since their appearance at the moment was really frightening, so they could only leave in a hurry.

Du Ru'an changed her clothes and wanted to go to Xue Fuguang.

In the end, he dismissed his own idea.

They can't go looking for Xue Fuguang openly.

What's more, Xue Fuguang might not help him this time?

Let them think about it first, what can I give to Xue Fuguang, so that they will be willing to help them.

Du Ruan wrote a note and handed it to Xue Fuguang.

After Xue Fuguang read it, he burst out laughing.

He squinted his eyebrows, threw the note to Mu Jianshu to burn, and sneered: "Du Ru? An Congming I was so confused that he thought that Xiu Jin was dead and was busy killing the sixth prince."

Sure enough, as long as Xiu Jin was involved, everyone seemed to be crazy.

Mu Jianshu asked him: "Can we use this to make him take action against the sixth prince, and we will secretly contribute to the flames?"

Xue Fuguang shook his head: "There's no need to lie to him about this. Why don't you tell them openly and let them fight with the sixth prince? We don't have to worry that one day he'll be sad because we lied to him when he sees the living Xiujin again. resentment."

Mu Jianshu also said: "Your subordinates can make them never see Xiu Jin again in the future. Dead people can stimulate them more than living people."

Xue Fuguang said lightly: "For the time being, he is still useful. You don't have to think about killing him. He won't die so easily."

Mu Jianshu's eyes flickered: "Master, do you know the weirdness of this brocade?"

It was not the first time that Xue Fuguang was sure that Xiu Jin would not die.

And the fact is just like what they said, each time, Xiu Jin escaped from death and was rescued by others as if by divine help in various crises.

There are even many high-ranking people who lost their minds because of him.

Even Xue Fuguang doesn't have such fighting ability, let alone a mere Xiujin.

In Mu Jianshu's eyes, Xiu Jin is a representative of stupidity.

Xue Fuguang stopped the hand that was folding the paper, and said: "In the future? You will know."

He added, "It won't be too long. Since the prince is dead, even if he doesn't want to die, I will find a solution."

Their eyes were much darker, filled with a deep chill.

Mu Jianshu said nothing, and nodded slightly.

When Du Ruan received Xue Fuguang's news, he was stunned.

Didn't die?

So, still alive?

His Xiu Jin is still alive?

Du Ruan experienced great joy and great sorrow in just two days, and she was in a trance, and her expression became a little crazy.

He held the paper in his hand, checked it repeatedly, and made sure that he wasn't dazzled.

After the excitement calmed down, Du Ruan regained some normalcy.

He grabbed the letter paper and put it in the box before ordering people to serve the food.

He? Has not eaten for two days.

The servants hurriedly brought the hot food into their courtyard.

Du Ru'an silently filled his stomach, and then lay down on the surface to let his cloudy mind take a good rest.

After a good rest, they can come up with a better way, how to pull down the sixth prince, and bring Xiu Jin back from their hands safe and sound.

They didn't realize it at all, their trust in Xue Fuguang had reached a strange level.

Even in his heart, Xue Fuguang is not a person who can talk to each other by default, and he even regards Xue Fuguang as an enemy, and he clearly needs to guard against him.

But for Xue Fuguang's judgments and instructions, they subconsciously chose to fully trust them, and they didn't even spend time and brain power thinking about what Xue Fuguang was planning and what was behind it.

His attitude towards Xue Fuguang showed a distorted attitude.

He even believed that Xue Fuguang had already surpassed him? himself.

At this time, Xue Fuguang had a life-saving mentality, gave up his ability to think, and followed Xue Fuguang's instructions completely.

He's like a sick mad dog, but under Xue Fuguang's repeated lessons, a rope is put around his neck to hold him in the direction of his actions.

The author has something to say: The mad dog is about to go mad.
