Narada world

As the sun was approaching dusk and the sunset was falling, Ziyun Pavilion returned to tranquility. Looking far away, Hong Yuan could clearly see that the Prime Minister's Mansion was still searching with all its might.

The prime minister's mansion is heavily guarded, and such a big event as the assassin's intrusion will inevitably be brought into the court.At that time, Hong Yuan's injury will be suspected again.

"Who is it?" Hong Yuan felt someone hovering outside the window.

"The landlord, it's me." Ye Ming was weak and his injury hadn't healed, but he was worried about Hong Yuan.

"What's the matter?" Through the curtain and window, Hong Yuan hid her pale face behind, not wanting to be seen.

"I, want to see you."

Ye Ming was in a state of panic. She had six sword strikes all over her body, with different shades. In addition to the internal injuries caused by being heavily shocked by the black and white duo, she was very weak.

"I'm fine, you can rest at ease." Hongyuan didn't care about Ye Ming, her thoughts were always wandering on Qin Junlan.

She always had a faint sense of uneasiness, Qin Junlan would even doubt that she was unwell, not to mention the assassin in the prime minister's mansion.If she were Qin Junlan, how would she test her own reality?

"Lord, my subordinates have something to report." Ye Ming still hasn't left.

"Say."

"I accidentally ran into Bai Ruoxi in the backyard today. This subordinate has neglected his duty, and she noticed that he was injured..." Before he finished speaking, the door opened, and Hong Yuan's face was gloomy and bloodless.

"You said that Bai Ruoxi knew about your injury?" Her voice was slightly hoarse, Ye Ming felt pain in his heart, but he didn't know how to answer, so he just nodded sullenly.

Enduring the pain, she wanted to kneel down and confess, but was supported by Hong Yuan, "Go back and rest, you don't have to worry about other things."

"Xun'er..." Ye Ming couldn't help calling out, but Hong Yuan's face darkened, and she said sharply: "You called Xun'er too? Get back!"

"This subordinate is sorry."

No matter how heavy the sword wound was, it couldn't compare to Hong Yuan's stern words. Ye Ming's nose was sour, but there were no tears.She turned around, turned her injured leg, and moved forward with difficulty.

"Ye Ming." Hong Yuan's indifferent words came from behind.

She stopped in her tracks and didn't dare to turn her head. If she took another look, she was afraid that she would fall a little further.She made her home all over the world, met many people, encountered many things, everything in the world is like a passing cloud, only Hong Yuan, who didn't know when, was hidden in her heart.

"I only care about two people in this world, one is my mother, and the other is the sect master. I saved you because you are still useful to me. Don't be sentimental and have thoughts that you shouldn't have." Hongyuan said indifferently. , those cold words pierced into Ye Ming's heart like a sharp sword. She never dared to have delusional thoughts, and knew that the person the landlord cares about is the master of the sect, but when she heard her say that herself, her heart still ached faintly. The whipping she gave herself was a hundred times more painful.

"Subordinates don't dare to think about it." Ye Ming flexed and stretched slightly, feeling the sword wound on his body was slowly opening, and the pain was spreading all over his body.

"Send an order to temporarily withdraw the hidden guards. If there is any abnormality in Ziyun Pavilion tonight, you must not act rashly."

"Subordinates take orders."

On the branches of the moon, the night is like a charm. At a fixed time every day, Hong Yuan has to sit quietly and adjust her breath.Ziyun Pavilion faces the river, the wind blows softly, and the river is calm.A black figure touched the water surface and flew over lightly.

The man in black stepped on the branch, jumped over the glazed tiles, and landed on the Ziyun loft.A cold light suddenly appeared, and the short soldier blade in his hand shone.

The man carefully pushed the door of the boudoir and entered easily.The bright moon was in the sky, lighting up the lights for the night, and a black shadow was reflected in the room, slowly moving towards the bed.

Suddenly felt the palm wind hit, and the familiar fragrance permeated my heart.She turned around to avoid it, and the sharp blade struck at Hong Yuan.Hong Yuan managed to dodge it, but the man in black quickly slapped her palm, and the move was extremely fast. Hong Yuan stretched out her hand to catch it, but was shaken away by the palm wind, her body fell back, and she was about to hit the corner of the table if she looked.

The man in black's pupils were dilated, and when he was frightened, he hurried forward and grabbed her hand without thinking for a moment.

A warm feeling came from the palm, familiar yet unfamiliar, Hong Yuan was gently pulled by the man in black and fell into her arms.

The moonlight penetrated into the room, and Hong Yuan met her eyes, which were clear but deep, even the starry sky could not fill her eyes.The two of them stared under the moon like this, the man in black covered his face, but her eyes were too familiar. In the whole world, except Qin Junlan, no one had such deep and beautiful eyes.

But she wanted to pretend that she didn't know the man in black, so she reacted first, pretending to sneak attack while he wasn't prepared.Qin Junlan instinctively dodged, and the other hand took advantage of the situation to slap cautiously. Hong Yuan couldn't dodge, and fell to the ground under the force, spitting blood.

The man in black froze on the spot in astonishment, raising his palms at a loss, she obviously only used three layers of internal force.She frowned, and wanted to step forward to help her up, but couldn't move.

Hong Yuan stared at her and asked pretendingly, "Who are you?"

"Miss?" Mu Jin's voice suddenly sounded, and the man in black hurriedly flew out of the window and left quickly.

Before Hong Yuan could get up, Ye Ming and Mu Jin rushed in. Seeing that Hong Yuan was injured, they turned pale with shock.Mu Jin quickly helped Hong Yuan up, and Ye Ming tried to chase after him with his injured body.

"Don't chase after me, I know who it is." Hong Yuan calmly wiped the blood stains from the corner of her mouth. The man in black didn't really seem to hurt her, but her internal injuries were not healed, so she vomited blood from the palm.

"Could it be...the Queen's person?" Mu Jin doubted and guessed.

Ye Ming whistled like a nighthawk, and several black shadows appeared, quickly looking for the man in black.

"Hmph... I slapped her and she slapped me back. It's really clear." The corners of her reddish lips seemed to have been put on makeup.

"I didn't expect the empress to be so suspicious." Mu Jin supported Hong Yuan and said angrily.

"Since ancient times, kings have never been suspicious. If they hadn't been suspicious of everyone, how would they have defended their country? Cough cough..." Hong Yuan's body had not yet recovered, and she began to feel cold again.

Since she was injured, she has to face the torment of cold poison recurrence every day.

"Lord, let me help you adjust your breathing." Ye Ming, as a master of the rivers and lakes, even though he was injured, he could still feel that Hongyuan's internal breathing was unstable. In the entire Suyuan building, only her skills can still heal her luck.

"No need." Hong Yuan resolutely refused, suddenly unable to move her body, Ye Ming actually tapped her acupuncture points.

"Ye Ming, are you crazy?" Mu Jin was so shocked that she dared to touch the host's acupoints.

"I'm sorry for the host, but you can kill Ye Ming afterward." After speaking, he helped Hong Yuan to the bedside, raised his eyes and said to Mu Jin who was already stunned, "Aren't you here to help?"

"Ah I……"

Forget it, in order to heal the landlord, we can only "rebel" together.Hong Yuan who had been acupunctured could not move, could not speak, but her cold eyes were covered with a layer of frost.

"Don't blame us, your injury is really worrying." Mu Jin avoided her eyes, the sharp eyes were beyond her ability to bear.

Ye Ming sat cross-legged behind Hong Yuan, with his palms up, his breath sinking in his dantian, he drew his internal energy close to his palm, and easily sent it to Hong Yuan's back.

Hong Yuan's eyes were slightly closed, allowing the inner force to blend with the true energy sent by Ye Ming, and indeed temporarily suppressed the pain caused by the cold poison.

It's just that the scene just now lingered in her mind. Qin Junlan held her hand nervously, and she clearly felt the sweat oozing from her palm.She thought about the many possibilities for Qin Junlan to test herself, but she didn't expect that she would come here in person.

Upstairs in Suyuan is full of wind and clouds, but the downstairs is full of drunken lights. It is just the time of night, and it is the time for romantic artists to be happy.

After nightfall, the scenery of the capital is pleasant, and the lights of thousands of houses are brightly lit, lighting up the night road.The street lanterns are paved into a halo, and the criss-crossing roads and alleys have a special taste.

Li Yue waited anxiously in front of the carriage, accompanied by several shadow guards, waiting for Qin Junlan's return.Originally wanted to send a few shadow guards to explore Hong Yuan's skills, but Qin Junlan was worried in the end, for fear that the people he sent would attack indiscriminately and accidentally injure others.

What if Hong Yuan is really just an ordinary woman who knows a little self-defense martial arts?

"My lord, His Majesty has returned." A shadow guard came to report, and saw a figure approaching from afar.

Stepping over the brick roof, flying over the eaves and walls, he landed lightly in front of the carriage.

"Your Majesty, are you alright? You're back." Li Yue was worried. The emperor wore a night clothes to go to the brothel. Thinking about it was frightening, but she, the master, did something unconventional for Hong Yuan , she is no stranger to it.

Qin Junlan took off her veil, her face was serious, her brows were furrowed into a river, "Liyue, do you think the Prime Minister's Mansion has anything worth looking into?"

"Eh? You won't..."

"How about going to visit the Prime Minister's Mansion again?"

Li Yue knelt down in shock, and several shadow guards followed suit.

"You are the king of a country. It is good to leave this kind of house inspection to your slaves. You have put down your status for the sake of Miss Hongyuan. You must not act like this again. Please think twice, Your Majesty!" Li Yueyue kowtowed deeply, Qin Junlan sighed slightly In a tone, "Okay, let's all get up, the shadow guard listens to the order, pretends to visit the prime minister's mansion, remember to be careful, and retreat immediately if exposed."

"Yes!" The three shadow guards moved away instantly, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Come without a shadow, go without a trace, that is the meaning of the existence of the shadow guard.

Back in the palace, Qin Junlan had a sleepless night, sometimes got up to read the booklet, and sometimes opened the pharmacopoeia to check the symptoms of wind-cold.

She couldn't help but clutch her palm, how could the hand that missed and injured Hong Yuan get so out of control?

Qin Junlan suffered from insomnia, and she sat on pins and needles, wanting to visit Hong Yuan.When they first met, she accidentally hit her injured self, and now she also hurt her because of the temptation, it's really reciprocal.

Before the third watch, Liyue found that the bedroom was still lit, and the maids had retreated, but Qin Junlan fell asleep on the desk, with an ancient book of "Fenghan Ji" under his hand.

Those were the books she had found specially for Qin Junlan during the day. From returning to the palace to now, Qin Junlan has always been depressed.

"Hey, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you are the king of a country, why bother?" Li Yue covered her with a cloak, extinguished the candle beside the desk, and stood by her side, hoping that she could get a moment of rest.

"Your Majesty..." Suddenly the voice of the eunuch in charge sounded, Li Yue was about to send him away, and report later when something happened, but Qin Junlan suddenly woke up.

"What's the matter?" She narrowed her eyes and regained consciousness in a moment.

"The Grand Maester has an urgent letter."

"Present." She softly opened her eyes, waking herself up as quickly as possible.At any time, state affairs and court affairs are more important than rest.

Li Yue was ordered to retrieve the letter and light up the lights for Qin Junlan again.

Open the secret letter, which clearly records the review of tribute silver.Although the escort officer and a dozen transporting soldiers were taken into custody, these people were secretly killed shortly after entering the Judgment Division.

"You bastard! How dare you kill people in the prison in the palace!" Qin Junlan was furious. These people were challenging her bottom line.

She wants to see for herself, who can cause a bloodbath under her nose.

"The people who were greedy for tribute silver wanted to take the opportunity to steal the silver taels without anyone noticing, but they didn't expect that the robbers just spread the silver taels to create chaos. Now that the amount can't be matched, they even killed people to silence them. It's already trying to cover up."

"That's right, this just shows that there are still people with different intentions in the Ji Dynasty, or that there are still people in the court who have a rebellious heart." Qin Junlan's eyes were as sharp as a torch, as sharp as an eagle.

She will not tolerate any anti-thieves and chaotic parties, if anyone wants to steal her country, she will definitely kill him!

"Liyue, go to the Jue Ming Division!"

The matter of tribute silver is little known.Qin Junlan didn't use the Criminal Department, let alone Qin Tiansi, because she was wary of those people's hearts.But Ji Qiuchen is different. She is Qin Junlan's mentor, who has taught her the way of governing the country, the way of a gentleman, and the way of officialdom.

She came to the throne at a young age, her foundation was not stable, and it was only by the academicians and the prime minister who controlled the court and suppressed the opposing forces that she was able to realize her ambition and sit firmly on the dragon chair.

The Jueming Division is located in the palace, with secret cells and layers of guards. Not to mention that it is difficult for ordinary people to enter, even for people from the palace.

If it wasn't for cooperating with the inside and the outside, one would have to be a master in the rivers and lakes, and be able to travel freely through the palace, that would be an extremely terrifying thing.

The sky prison was dark, and the morgue was even more gloomy.Seeing Qin Junlan coming in person, Ji Qiuchen hurriedly performed the courtesy of a monarch and minister.

"Graduate scholar, please get up." Qin Junlan respected him very much.

"The old minister is incompetent. Before he found out the clues, he cut off the clues."

"A person with a heart is hard to guard against, and the teacher does not need to blame himself."

A piece of white cloth covered more than a dozen corpses, like a ghost, separating life and death.

"Your Majesty, the autopsy found that these people did not have any wounds on their bodies. They all died of sudden fire. Each of them has a red mark on their back, which looks like a palm print but not like it."

Qin Junlan's face was solemn, Liyue lifted up a white cloth, turned the body over, and there was a clear red mark.She pressed in with her fingertips, and then pressed the sternum of the corpse, "The inner bone is broken? Could it be..."

"What's so special about this?"

"My servant has heard that there is a martial art called Liexin Palm in the Jianghu. The person who uses the palm is fine at the moment, but in fact has been poisoned. If it is not for the profound skill and the special mental method for treatment, he will die in a hurry."

"There are such evil skills?" Ji Qiuchen had never heard of it.

"The slaves have only heard about it, and have not seen it with their own eyes."

Qin Junlan remained silent, turned around, "If you are really from the Jianghu, find out this sect."

Even if she digs three feet into the ground, she still has to find out who is behind it.
