"It's not yet Chen's hour, why did they come here so early?" Murong Xue glanced at the hourglass on the bedside table, and frowned puzzled.
"I'll go out and have a look, you can rest for a while!" Ouyang Shaochen said lightly, ready to gently help Murong Xue to lie down.
"I'm not sleepy anymore, let's go together." Murong Xue reached out her hand to stop him, her bright little face was slightly pale, but her dark pupils were shining brightly, Ouyang Shaochen sighed helplessly, and nodded. Nodding: "Okay!"
After getting out of bed slowly, Ouyang Shaochen took the outer robe at the side and put it on. The snow-colored robe hangs lightly on the ground, spotless.
Murong Xue pursed her lips, got out of bed slowly, put on her long skirt, combed her hair in a bun, and Shi Shiran walked out of the room.
Duan Wuluo and Gong Qianyu were sitting in front of the stone table in the yard, sipping tea one after another, when they saw Ouyang Shaochen, Murong Xue, Duan Wuluo stood up and greeted softly: "Master Ouyang, Miss Murong. "
"Prince Gong, Prefect Duan!" Ouyang Shaochen said lightly, and walked over slowly.
Gong Qianyu's complexion was slightly pale, obviously due to the exhaustion of a lot of internal energy, seeing Murong Xue, his eyes flickered unnaturally: "Murong Xue, are you... okay?"
Looking at the apologetic flashes in his dark eyes, Murong Xue smiled softly: "Fortunately, I inhaled less Meixiang. The prince used his internal strength and ice water to help me force out all the Meixiang. Is it also Meixiang that is hydrolyzed with ice?"
"En!" Gong Qianyu nodded: the prefect's mansion prepared a lot of ice, he soaked in the ice water for a while, and forced all Meixiang out.
"Prince Gong came to see us so early, what happened?" Murong Xue looked at Gong Qianyu and asked softly.
"It's not a big deal, it's for the assassin last night." Gong Qianyu said lightly, looking at Duan Wuluo: "He interrogated the servant of the prefect's mansion overnight..."
"Really?" Murong Xue's eyes froze, and she raised her head to look at Duan Wuluo, "Did Eunuch Duan find out the mastermind behind the scenes?"
Duan Wuluo shook his head: "The servant is just a young man, and he doesn't know who the mastermind behind the scenes is, but he confessed that someone handed him a note, asking him to go outside the guest courtyard while he was still there, and shout loudly. , Attracting everyone to go there, I didn't expect that he was discovered by Ouyang Shizi just after he walked there, and he was seriously injured... "
Murong Xue's eyes were cold. If they didn't notice the difference in the air, then when the servants arrived, she and Gong Qianyu would have already inhaled enough Meixiang and became unconscious. With disheveled clothes and ruined reputation, the servant and the man in black who burned the incense are definitely in the same group...
"Have you found out the identity of the man in black who burned the incense?"
"It was only found that that person was a dead man..." Duan Wuluo said in a low voice, his eyes flickered: Qingyan's army was pressing down on the land, and he guarded the prefect's mansion very tightly. He originally wanted to guard against hidden guards , the infiltrating of the slain, he did not expect that the prefect's mansion actually had internal thieves, making peace with the people inside and outside, making him hard to guard against...
"To be more precise, that person is a dead soldier from southern Xinjiang..." Ouyang Shaochen said suddenly, and a dark light flashed in his obsidian-like pupils.
"How does Ouyang Shizi know?" Duan Wuluo looked at him puzzled: He ordered someone to examine the man's body carefully, but found nothing that indicated the man's identity. He based on the man's figure, clothes, hands The calluses on his body, and many other things, he judged that the man was a dead man.
"The secret guard of the Xiaoyao Palace found this mark on that person's tongue..." Ouyang Shaochen said lightly, Ruyu dipped his fingers in the tea, and drew a delicate half-moon shape on the table...
Duan Wuluo's sharp eyes narrowed sharply. The servants checked the man's whole body, but they didn't check his tongue. He actually branded the mark there. It was really concealed, but: "This is... the royal family of Southern Xinjiang. Mark... Those dead soldiers are the dead soldiers of the southern Xinjiang royal family... "
Ouyang Shaochen didn't speak, it was a tacit consent, his black pupils were as deep as a pool.
Murong Xue's eyes froze. Since she came to the ancient times, she has been staying in Qingyan Capital, and she doesn't know anyone from the southern border royal family at all. Why did they plot against her
Looking up at Ouyang Shaochen, I saw his white jade fingers gently stroking the white porcelain cup, and said casually: "Half a month ago, the dead man with this mark on the bottom of his tongue sneaked into Qingyan Capital, and with Xiaoyao Wangfu After more than ten days of recruiting by the hidden guards, 30 dead soldiers died, 28 of them died..."
Duan Wuluo's eyes narrowed slightly: "The emperor has no grievances with the son of Ouyang, and it seems unreasonable to send the dead to assassinate the son..."
"It's not me that the dead man wants to plot against, but Xue'er..." Ouyang Shaochen said lightly.
"Then it doesn't make any sense. The emperor has never met Miss Murong, so why did he plot against her..." Duan Wuluo said in a low voice, his eyes deep.
"Your majesty is not the only one who owns the dead soldiers of the royal family..." Ouyang Shaochen said lightly, with a smile that was not a smile, and Duan Wuluo's eyes flickered unnaturally.
The mark of the royal family in Southern Xinjiang is a half-moon. The dead men trained by the emperor will be branded with this mark, and the dead men trained by the princes will also be branded with this mark. So far, apart from the emperor, there are only two princes in the Southern Border Palace. Crown Prince Qianyu, Prince Rui Gong Qianze...
"His Royal Highness has just met Miss Murong, and Prince Rui has not met Miss Murong yet, so it is impossible for them to plot against Miss Murong..."
"I haven't seen it, I don't know him, so I can't kill him?" Ouyang Shaochen raised his eyebrows and looked at Duan Wuluo, his dark eyes flashed darkly.
Duan Wuluo frowned tightly, and said in a low voice: "If the two of you don't know each other, you don't have any enmity. Why do you want to kill me?"
"Because the mastermind behind the scenes likes to kill innocent people indiscriminately." Ouyang Shaochen said lightly, a dark light flickered in his deep eyes.
This reason is really weird, but Ouyang Shaochen is very capable. Since he said that the mastermind behind the scenes is the prince of Nanjiang, the mastermind is probably the prince of Nanjiang...
Duan Wuluo quietly looked at Gong Qianyu, only to see that his expression was indifferent, and there was no special reaction. He lowered his voice and said, "Senior Ouyang thinks, who is the mastermind behind the scenes?"
"When Qingyan saw the dead men in Southern Xinjiang, I only knew that the masters of the dead men were members of the southern Xinjiang royal family. Until yesterday, I finally confirmed that the masters of those dead men were Prince Rui Gong Qianze." In the last sentence, Ouyang Shao Chen raised his voice, and the obsidian-like pupils were cold.
Duan Wuluo's eyes froze: "Why do you say that?"
"Gong Qianyu will let the dead man give him a sweet scent, and plot against him?" Ouyang Shaochen glanced at him casually, with contempt on the corners of his eyes and brows: Gong Qianyu is arrogant, but not stupid, it is impossible to do such a stupid thing thing…
