"Is there something wrong with the Holy Pill?" A thought suddenly flashed through Duan Lengyan's mind, which frightened her.
In fact, Duan Lengyan had always been wary of that so-called venerable person. However, Duan Lengyan had no choice but to believe in the super power displayed by His Holiness. Moreover, Wu Qiujun also had unusual admiration for the Venerable, which made Duan Lengyan keep her doubts and wariness in her heart.
Duan Lengyan did not allow Duan Lengyan to think for too long. Jin Xidao suddenly opened his mouth and asked, "I heard that Ba Ling'er, the daughter of the Eight Khans of Xijue, arrived in Yunzhong City. Is this true?"
Hearing Jin Xidao suddenly mention Ba Ling'er, Duan Lengyan's heart sank suddenly. Duan Lengyan valued Ba Ling'er very much. She is thinking about writing a big article on Ba Ling'er. If she moves well, her status in the royal family will be greatly consolidated. Therefore, Duan Lengyan never wants anything unexpected to happen to Ba Ling'er.
So after she got the inside information, she blocked it with all her strength, trying not to let more people know about it. But what she didn't expect was that the news spread back, and her two brothers were really pervasive.
"Why don't you answer my question? Do you want to hide something? Humph! I advise you to give up this idea. This is an order handed down by His Majesty the Emperor and your father himself. Do you dare to disobey it?"
Jin Xidao's eyes were as bright as a torch, and he could see through Duan Lengyan's thoughts with just one glance, and said with a cold snort.
Duan Lengyan couldn't help but feel a hint of helplessness and sadness in her heart. She did not doubt Jin Xidao's words. This was probably an order from her father. Her two brothers must have gotten the news from her and reported it to her father, who then handed the matter over to her two brothers. In other words, in her father's heart, her two brothers were obviously above her.
"Of course I dare not disobey my father's orders."
Jin Xidao sneered, curled his lips and said, "Then what are you waiting for? Why don't you tell me quickly!"
Duan Lengyan sighed in her heart. The interests of the empire must always be higher than her personal interests. Let Duan Lengyan ignore the interests of the empire for her own selfish interests. She is not her two brothers, so she can't do it.
"That's right! Ba Ling'er is indeed in Yunzhong City right now!"
Jin Xidao's eyes suddenly flashed with light, and he hurriedly asked, "Have you found her?"
Duan Lengyan nodded with a pale face, "She now lives in the home of Hu Jingqi, the censor of the Qingyun Empire."
"Hu Jingqi? Is this the censor Hu Jingqi who has been running around the Qingyun Empire for a while, trying to attack our Iron War Dynasty first?"
Duan Lengyan was stunned when she heard this and asked, "Does the Third Master also know this person?"
Hu Jingqi may still have some reputation in Yunzhong City, but his official position is really not high, and it is far from the level that attracts the attention of the Jin family. How did Jin Xidao know about Hu Jingqi? This cannot but make Duan Lengyan suspicious.
Jin Xidao sneered and curled his lips and said, "I don't know, how can I take the head off his neck?"
"Ah?" Duan Lengyan couldn't help but exclaimed when she heard this. Although the censor is not a high-ranking official, he cannot be killed just by asking. Jin Xidao What exactly does he want to do
Jin Xidao obviously didn't want to say any more. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, I don't have anything to do with you here. You can go down."
Go down? Listening to Jin Xidao's words, he was as arrogant as Duan Lengyan was his maid.
Duan Lengyan held back a breath, turned around and walked out.
After Duan Lengyan left, Jin Xidao said quietly, "What the eldest prince said is absolutely right. Although these three girls are women, they are not inferior to men at all. In time, they will definitely become a serious problem for the eldest prince and our Jin family." ”
"In that case, why not get rid of her now?" Fu Chuanjing said murderously.
"Confused! How can the eldest prince be honored as a great treasure in the future once he has the reputation of killing his sister? Besides, the emperor is not dead yet, how can we allow the eldest prince to act randomly? By then, the second prince will only be advantaged in vain. "
"The third master is still thoughtful!" Fu Chuanjing flattered him at the right time.
Jin Xidao smiled and said, "This is not my credit, it is all the plan of the uncle and the eldest prince. This time when we come to Yunzhong City, we will set off a bloody storm and destroy those who are hostile to us. The minister of the Qingyun Empire of the Zhan Dynasty will kill him completely. After that, he will ask Duan Lengyan to be our scapegoat and get rid of her with the help of the Qingyun Empire. Then His Majesty the Emperor will have nothing to say. "
"Wonderful! This is definitely a clever plan that kills two birds with one stone!" After hearing Jin Xidao's words, Fu Chuanjing's face immediately flashed with a cruel look, he gave a thumbs up and said repeatedly.
"Nonsense! The uncle and the eldest prince are both unparalleled talents. Could the strategy they came up with be bad? But apart from this matter, Ba Ling'er is also an important task of our trip. In this way, you can continue to give the order. Let Tie Hu and Yin Lang go to Hu's house and take Hu Jingqi's head, and bring Ba Ling'er back at the same time!"
"Yes, I will order you down immediately."
Jin Xidao nodded and warned them, "Let them not be too careless. After all, this is Yunzhong City, and there are many experts, so they should not be underestimated."
…
After leaving Jin Xidao, the more Duan Lengyan thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. She simply turned around and walked towards the place where Wu Qiujun was retreating.
The place where Wu Qiujun retreats is inside Tianbao Pavilion. It is a relatively quiet room that is not easily disturbed by others. There are two masters standing outside the room, one is guarding the gate, and the other is waiting for Wu Qiujun's orders. They are the most trusted people by Wu Qiujun.
"Who is it?" Before Duan Lengyan came closer, the two masters noticed it and shouted in unison with a vigilant look on their faces. When the two of them saw clearly that it was Duan Lengyan, the wary look on their faces slowly dissipated.
"Third Princess!" The two of them saluted in unison.
Duan Lengyan nodded, glanced at the room with the door closed, and listened carefully. There was no movement inside, as if there was no one at all.
She raised her eyebrows and asked, "My master has been in seclusion for many days. Logically speaking, he should have been released from seclusion. Why is there no movement?"
The two masters looked at each other and shook their heads in unison.
This made Duan Lengyan even more uneasy and said, "No, I want to go in and take a look."
As soon as Duan Lengyan took a step forward, she was stopped by two people, "Third princess, the master is in retreat and cannot be disturbed in any way. You can't go in!"
"But...but I'm worried that something unexpected will happen to my master." The third princess said anxiously.
But the two masters paid no attention to them, their expressions were as firm as before. It seemed impossible to get them to get out of the way.
Duan Lengyan couldn't help but want to shout loudly outside, Wu Qiujun in the room would definitely be able to hear it. But after thinking about it, Duan Lengyan still endured it! After all, all this was just her guess, and she had no definite certainty. If she guessed wrong and really disturbed Wu Qiujun, causing serious consequences, then her sin would be huge.
With a sigh, Duan Lengyan could only turn around and leave, praying in her heart that Wu Qiujun could come out of confinement safely! (To be continued)
