The news of the massacre in the Prime Minister's Mansion leaked out from somewhere, and rumors would inevitably spread in the streets, making all the people in Lin'an City panic-stricken. There was no need to look for material for storytellers in teahouses or teahouses for a while.
The survivors after the massacre were well protected. The gates of Prince Lie's Mansion and Prince's Mansion were heavily guarded by officers and soldiers. The seemingly tight defenses were completely vulnerable to real masters.
"All the officers and soldiers in the city are looking for the murderer, but you came to me again leisurely." Wan Qiliang looked at someone sitting at the table drinking tea. Maybe she could consider selling Youqin Jiatian in exchange for A substantial bonus, although she was not short of money.
"The people sent by the sect were all wiped out before they could carry out their mission. We were not responsible for what happened this time." Youqin Jiatian said solemnly, but there was nothing abnormal about his expression.
"I thought the woman was trying to confuse the situation, but unexpectedly she stated a fact."
"woman?"
"It is said that he is one of the four envoys of the Nightmare. Could it be that he is also pretending to be someone else."
"Her last mission has not been completed yet. She should be in Qiliang now." Youqin Jiatian smiled coldly. Someone was paying attention to them. It seems that he has been too neglectful recently.
"That is to say, someone has their thoughts on the Nether Nightmare Sect." Wan Qiliang didn't think it was too strange. After all, it is normal for a big tree to attract wind. Whether it is in the world or in the court, anyone who wants to get rid of the Nether Nightmare Sect There are quite a few of them, but if they are willing to spend such a large amount of money to have a head-on conflict with the Nightmare Sect, I am afraid that the other party will not be a small player.
"I may be busy recently and may not have time to come and see you. Although I have arranged for a shadow guard to be by your side, you should be more careful yourself." Youqin Jiatian walked up to Wan Qiliang and hugged her tightly. In his arms, his voice was full of apologies. It was all his carelessness and it might have put her in a dangerous situation. It was all his fault.
Hugging Youqin Jiatian back, Wan Qiliang said slowly, "Don't worry about me, I'm not a fragile vase, and I also want to see who has the ability to compete with you."
"Trust me so much?"
"Shouldn't it be right?" Wan Qiliang's trusting tone pleased Youqin Jiatian. He knew that the final result would be like this, but personally verifying it made him even happier.
Youqin Jiatian has never shown his bloodthirsty side in front of Wan Qiliang. He was worried about whether she could accept him like that, but his unintentional tests yielded answers that satisfied him.
Wan Qiliang felt the changes in Youqin Jiatian's mood, and he was as uneasy as she was. They were both insecure people, and they were also the kind of idealists who wanted to spend their lives together once they were confirmed, so they both kept talking. Make sure you are responsible for yourself and the other party.
Before the two people could be warm enough, the increasingly clear and rapid footsteps outside the door stopped at the door. The moment the door was opened, only Wan Qiliang was left in the room.
"Princess, please come over, please." Wang Hai didn't even bother to knock on the door. As the steward of the palace, his biggest characteristic is to watch people order dishes. In his opinion, Wan Qiliang is just an unfavored princess. He didn't need to pay much attention, so even the most basic etiquette was deliberately ignored by him.
Wan Qiliang didn't even look at him, he completely regarded him as nothing, and turned a deaf ear to what he said. Huangfu Yuexun hadn't given her any advice yet, but a slave wanted to bully her without knowing what he was capable of. He was really arrogant. Big enough.
"Princess, please come over, please." Wang Hai raised his voice, but Wan Qiliang still didn't respond, which made him anxious.
"Princess, if you don't go over, I'm afraid the princess won't be able to bear the anger of the prince." Wang Hai said with a threat. He paid too little attention to Wan Qiliang, otherwise he would not have said such unmeasured words.
"You can go back and tell him, but remember to close the door when you go out." Wan Qiliang ignored Wang Hai's threat, or in Wan Qiliang's view, it was not a threat at all, but should she consider reminding Huangfu? Yuexun improved the overall quality of the palace.
Wang Hai was very angry that Wan Qiliang wouldn't take it, but he couldn't be hard on her, so he had to wave his sleeves and left the room. He seemed to be mumbling something to see who couldn't eat it after he went back to report. Walk along.
Wan Qiliang was too lazy to focus on unworthy people, but he did not expect that the person sent here again would be him. But with his relationship with Huangfu Yuexun, how could he let him do such a thing
"Princess, do you mind showing up here?" Murong Lunshu was brought to Prince Lie's Mansion by Huangfu Yuexun in the name of protection, and they discussed together what happened at the Prime Minister's Mansion last night. They were just halfway through the discussion when Huangfu Yuexun suddenly said: Wang Hai asked Wan Qiliang to come over, but Wang Hai went there to no avail, so he wanted to try to see what was so difficult about the arrogant Wan Qiliang in Wang Hai's mouth.
"It's okay, just a few surprises."
"The prince would like to invite the princess to come over. I wonder if the princess can come with me?"
"Mr. Murong, you don't have to be so polite. With your relationship with the prince, you are overqualified to do this. Besides, you are still my savior. How can I not go?"
"Princess, you are serious." Murong Lunshu smiled slightly. It seemed that he was used to maintaining the image of a handsome young master. Perhaps his elegance had penetrated into his bones, so even if it sounded hypocritical, he would not be able to interpret it. It seems a little artificial.
Wan Qiliang followed Murong Lunshu to Huangfu Yuexun's study. Nothing good happened every time he came here. Sitting there were Huangfu Yuexun and Huangfu Yueli. Huangfu Yueli was not married yet, so he did not have his own mansion. Huangfu Zhuotian made an exception and allowed Huangfu Yueli to go to Prince Lie's Mansion to recuperate. In this way, Huangfu Yueli's position was known at a glance.
"Are you finally willing to come?" Huangfu Yuexun said in a strange tone. Wan Qiliang had long been accustomed to his state, so she just glanced at him lightly and then found a seat to sit down.
"The slaves in the palace really don't have any rules, otherwise they wouldn't be so sick when they see them that they would be so nauseous that they wouldn't even want to leave."
"Sharp teeth and sharp mouth." The injuries all over his body didn't stop Huangfu Yueli from joining in the fun, and he never forgot to say it when he got the chance.
"Tell me, why did you call me here?" Wan Qiliang didn't know anything like a little kid, but Huangfu Yueli gave her a different feeling than when they first met. What was the difference? Same thing, but she couldn't tell.
"What do you think about what happened last night?"
"Ask me? The prince really praises me." Wan Qiliang didn't expect that Huangfu Yuexun would really discuss this matter with her. Her identity was more or less sensitive. Besides, how could he let her know with his machismo? Their thoughts, could it be that he discovered something
"If I ask you, just tell me where there is so much nonsense!" Huangfu Yuexun is now like a fighting beast trapped in a cage. If he is injured, his temper will inevitably become irritated.
"Have you found Wan Qisheng?" The moon was dark and the wind was high. Wan Qisheng didn't pay attention to where Wan Qisheng had gone. Moreover, at that time, she thought that Qin Jiatian's men were performing tasks. Wan Qisheng, the employer, must have There was a foolproof plan to ensure her safety, but now it seemed that maybe he was really kidnapped or even killed, so she always thought that finding him would be the breakthrough in this incident.
"Not yet, my father has given orders to see him alive and dead, and to find him back no matter what. Do you suspect it's him?"
"It's hard to say, but if he is still alive, there is reason to believe that what happened last night was related to him. After all, he is the organizer, right?" Wan Qiliang has no father-daughter feelings for Wan Qisheng, especially after Bai Qingyan's death. After that, she didn't want him to die. If he died too easily, wouldn't it be too cheap for him
"He's your father." Every time Huangfu Yueli interrupted, it was inappropriate and attracted the glares of three people.
"Well, I know, from a blood perspective, it's true."
"But if it was really him, why would he do this?" Huangfu Yuexun still agreed with Wan Qiliang's point of view to a certain extent, but they had to figure out the motive.
"How do I know?" Wan Qiliang rolled his eyes at Huangfu Yuexun. If she knew everything, she would have told Youqin Jiatian a long time ago, so that she would not worry about him.
"You woman!" Huangfu Yuexun was always blocked by her and couldn't say a word, but he couldn't do anything about her.
"The prince called me here just because he wanted me to provide a possible direction. I have already told you, do you still want me to investigate the case?"
"You went to the Prime Minister's Mansion in advance. Didn't you find anything wrong with Wan Qisheng?" Huangfu Yuexun still refused to give up. He had no clue at all now. His father handed the matter over to the Ministry of Punishment for handling. He and Huangfu Yue Yang couldn't interfere, and the Prime Minister's Mansion was sealed off. Everyone inside, except for private individuals, was taken to a specific place for protection. No one could get in unless he had his father's order, which really made it impossible for him to do anything.
"I haven't had much contact with him, and I really can't tell anything from the negotiation that lasted less than an hour." If Youqin Jiatian hadn't told herself, she would never have imagined that Wan Qisheng would have such thoughts. And he took action, but he may have stolen the chicken but lost the rice, and now he suffered a big loss.
"You really didn't find anything?" Huangfu Yuexun refused to give up. His impatience made him eager to know the truth.
"It turns out that the prince asked me to come here not to trust me, but to doubt me. In this case, I really have nothing to say." Wan Qiliang didn't want to participate in it. She always felt that the conspiracy behind it had just begun, and it was not It would be that simple, so for a lazy person like her, she would choose to avoid all the troubles that can be avoided.
Huangfu Yuexun also knew that he was a little anxious. He had no way to refute Wan Qiliang's words, because he knew that was what he thought deep down in his heart. He called Wan Qiliang here just to test how much she knew. He thought She would understand to a certain extent, but when the actual situation was not what he imagined, her emotions became a little out of control.
"Princess, there is no need to be angry. The prince is just impatient. After all, such a big thing has happened." Murong Lunshu plays the role of peacemaker. In this situation, it is much better to have one more friend than one more enemy. He also sent people to check in private. But all the traces seemed to have been deliberately erased by someone with care. Even the batch of killers disappeared without a trace. Logically speaking, the Murong family's intelligence network would not be so incompetent, but what happened this time made him They had to be careful, because they didn't know who the enemy was and suspected it was the Nightmare Cult, but they still couldn't make a move, and they couldn't tell who their target was. All the people who died were civilians, at most. Having some talent, does this constitute a reason to be killed
"I suggest you go to the Prime Minister's Mansion. There might be some clues there." Wan Qiliang didn't have any clue after much thought, so sometimes it wasn't a bad idea to borrow the help of others to accomplish his own goals, but It's not certain whether the people in front of him will disappoint him.
Huangfu Yuexun didn't want to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find out, but his current situation is almost like being under house arrest. Huangfu Zhuotian has too many people who suspect him, and even he is one of them. The soldiers outside the door euphemistically call him To protect him is actually to monitor him. How to get the information he wants without alerting the secret guards specially prepared by his father for him? This is really a headache.
The four people in the study were all thinking their own thoughts. They could only hear each other's heavy breathing. The difficulty of this matter was beyond their expectation. They were struggling with what to do and what to do. question…
