Su Li's expression suddenly changed, and he instinctively retreated quickly. The man in the black mask laughed loudly and shouted, "Stop trying to get information about this sect!"
Everyone's eyes flashed. Dongfang Ze's figure was like lightning, already blocking in front of Su Li. His arms were suddenly rolled up, and his broad sleeves were like two ink clouds. They brought up a strong wind and instantly knocked away the flying silver needles. Tuck everything into the bottom of your sleeves without falling to the ground. Then with a flick, the needles fell to the ground with a tinkling sound.
His handsome face was gloomy, and his eyes were fierce. At this moment, he seemed to be transformed into the devil of hell. He swung up to the masked man in black, and clamped his chin with his five fingers like hooks. "If you don't tell me, then you can keep it." It’s of no use!”
With a "click", the mandible of the masked man in black was immediately removed! His mouth was slumped, and he could only make a hoho sound, but could not say a word.
Su Lirao was calm, but she was also frightened at the moment. If Dongfang Ze hadn't reacted very quickly, she wouldn't have been able to dodge this man's hidden weapon with her current martial arts.
Sheng Qin lost his voice and shouted: "Your Majesty,
! Your hand! "
Su Li was shocked again, and couldn't help but glance at Dongfang Ze's arm. He slowly raised his hand. The outer edge of his palm had turned dark and swollen. It was obvious that the skin had just been pierced by a poisonous needle!
A trace of panic hit her instantly. Su Li quickly went over to hold his arm and exclaimed: "Your Majesty!"
Her voice also lost its usual calmness, but Dongfang Ze remained calm and calm. He actually smiled at Su Li and said, "Don't worry, the poison won't hurt." After that, he swiped the sword from the scabbard of Sheng Qin. With a sudden movement, he pulled out the sharp sword blade and immediately cut through the discolored skin. He squeezed out the black blood, and the thick smell of blood suddenly spread out of the cell.
His face was calm, as if the cut was not his own hand at all, and black blood was dripping down.
Although judging from the smell of the blood, the poison was indeed not fatal, but it looked so shocking that it seemed that it could not be drained away, and it soon formed a small puddle on the ground.
Su Li felt a pain in her heart unconsciously. He had just suffered serious internal injuries a while ago, and he was about to recover, but he was poisoned again. This time, he risked his life to save her, making it difficult for her to remain indifferent. Suddenly remembering the universal elixir he carried, he hurriedly touched the small porcelain bottle on his waist, quickly poured out a few pills, and handed it to his mouth, his fingers trembling uncontrollably.
Dongfangze stared at her without blinking, soft light suddenly appeared in his eyes, he opened his mouth very cooperatively, and swallowed the pill.
The warm and soft lips touched her cool fingertips, but Su Li seemed to be burned. She suddenly realized that her behavior seemed a bit inappropriate, and she couldn't help but retract her hand.
Seeing her slightly helpless and embarrassed look, Dongfangze smiled softly and said nothing.
"Your Majesty, the medicine is here." Sheng Xiao hurriedly came from outside the door.
Su Li frowned slightly, carefully cleaning the wound for him, applying medicinal powder, and bandaging it carefully. The wound was really quite deep, but fortunately the medicine was very effective and stopped the bleeding in less than a moment.
"This person has a very strict manner. It seems like he can't get anything out of him." Su Li sighed softly.
Dongfangze's eyes flashed with anger, and he snorted: "He thinks it will be fine if he doesn't say anything? The mastermind behind the scenes has not been arrested yet."
Su Li seemed to have some realization in her heart and muttered: "The prince wants to..."
"That's right. Next, let's use him to lure the snake out of its hole.
! "
The next day, Su Li entered the palace after the morning court and went to the imperial study to meet the emperor. As soon as they passed the palace gate, they saw Yang Xiao and Lang Chang walking towards them among a group of courtiers.
Yang Xiao was dressed in a fiery red robe, shaking his head, and his pigtails moving around. He was particularly eye-catching when he walked among the crowd. When he saw Su Li from a distance, he was overjoyed, waved his arms vigorously and shouted loudly: " Little Ah Li!" Then he rushed ahead of Lang Chang, jumped to Su Li's side, deliberately got close to her, winked, and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for several days, I'm very sorry. You're thinking about me! Ah Li knew that Xiao Wang was going to the palace to say goodbye today, so she came to see me specially, right?"
This kid is so pretentious that it would be a pity not to sing! Su Li took a step back, avoiding his deliberate approach, and replied calmly, "Su Li entered the palace today for other important matters. Meeting His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince is a coincidence."
Yang Xiaohun didn't care about her alienation, he still stared at her with a smile.
Lang Chang walked slowly and leisurely, as gentle and elegant as ever. He was also happy to see Su Li. He originally wanted to make a special trip to find her, but he didn't expect to meet her here.
Su Li smiled slightly and said, "Su Li has met His Highness the Crown Prince."
Lang Chang nodded and smiled: "I haven't seen you for a few days. How are you, Princess? I wonder if there is any progress in the case being investigated?"
Su Li smiled gratefully and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. Su Li went to the palace today to request an order for this matter. There has been some progress, but it is more troublesome to handle. We have to go to the fourth prince's hometown to look for clues." As she said that, she sighed softly. With a sound, his eyes glanced at Yang Xiao beside him as if unintentionally.
Yang Xiao exclaimed in surprise when he heard this: "Ah? How come the case investigated by the princess has something to do with my country, Bian?"
Su Li sighed: "It is precisely the white jade ring belonging to Princess Mingyu that is the key to this case. According to the clues, this ring is most likely from the Saintess Cult, a Jianghu organization in Bian State."
Lang Chang was startled, his brows furrowed, and he said worriedly: "Jianghu organization? This matter does seem to be a bit tricky. Is there anyone capable of helping the princess?"
Su Li smiled and said: "The Holy Lord will send guards to accompany us. Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."
Lang Chang nodded and said no more. There was still a worried look in his eyes. Looking at Su Li, his mind changed all at once.
.
Yang Xiao patted Lang Chang's shoulder hard, raised a pair of thick eyebrows, glared dissatisfied and shouted: "Your Highness, what do you mean by this? Is it possible that when little Ah Li arrives in Bian country, what else can happen? Then you Are you looking down on me, Yang Xiao, too much?!"
"Little Ali, when will you set off? I'll go with you! I'll be your guide!" Yang Xiao turned his head and came up to him very affectionately, his eyes full of eagerness.
Su Li stared at him and smiled slightly, "Thank you to the Fourth Prince for your kindness. Su Li still knows the way to Bian Kingdom." She bowed and took a step back, "Su Li has something important to attend to, so go ahead and invite your two highnesses. Forgive me." After saying that, he turned around and left.
Just listen to Yang Xiao's high-pitched voice yelling behind him: "Little Ah Li - don't forget our agreement -" He yelled unscrupulously inside the palace gate, as if he didn't even hear Su Li's polite rejection of him, and there was a wave of noise coming from around him. The whispers of the ministers who came here fell on deaf ears.
Su Li smiled coldly and walked quickly to the imperial study. When he saw it was her, the little eunuch guarding the door quickly informed and respectfully welcomed the new celebrity in.
The emperor was not the only one in the royal study, the queen and Dongfang Zhuo were also here. When Su Li went in, she vaguely heard the word "Li Su" and was slightly startled in her heart. She stepped forward and saw them one by one.
This was the first time I saw Dongfang Zhuo since the husband-choosing banquet. I heard that he was ill, and it seemed true. He did indeed seem to have lost a lot of weight at this time, and his usually handsome and handsome cheeks looked a little haggard, but he was still in good spirits. For some reason, Dongfang Zhuo today seemed to give her a different feeling than in the past.
The emperor asked in a deep voice: "Mingxi entered the palace today, but has there been any progress in the case of Princess Mingyu?"
Su Li stood up and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, I am asking the Emperor to issue an order today to allow Mingxi to go to Bian State to find key clues to the case."
As soon as these words came out, the three of them were shocked. How could Princess Mingyu's case be related to Bian State again
Su Li used the clues of the white jade ring to explain the reason to the emperor. The emperor thought for a moment, looked at her thoughtfully and said: "But in just two or three days, Princess Mingxi will be able to find the key clues. It is indeed not easy." Accept my cultivation for you, okay. I will immediately issue an order to send the fine guards to escort you to Bian Kingdom."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Su Li quickly kowtowed in thanks.
"Father
! "Dongfang Zhuo suddenly stood up, knelt down with a pop, and said in a deep voice: "My son wants to go to Bian Kingdom with Princess Mingxi, please allow me to do so. "There was an indescribable sadness in his handsome eyes.
"Zhuo'er! Don't mess around! This is to investigate a case, not to play. You have just recovered from a serious illness. If something goes wrong while you are here, what should you do if you call the queen?" Before the emperor could speak, the queen couldn't help shouting. Then he was shocked to realize that he had made a mistake. He quickly knelt down and said uneasily: "I have misbehaved in front of you. Your Majesty, please punish me!"
There was a hint of sarcasm on Su Li's lips.
The emperor glanced at her seriously, knowing that the queen was always nervous about her son, he sighed secretly, why didn't he have this worry in his heart? At the moment, he didn't blame him too much. He just waved his hand and said, "Okay. Get up."
"The mother is worried about her son. Zhuo'er understands in his heart that it's just Li Su..." Dongfang Zhuo said firmly, but when he mentioned Li Su, there was a lump in his throat. He paused, as if suppressing his emotions, and then said: "In any case, she is married to her son, and she is my wife, Dongfang Zhuo! If I can't personally supervise the case for her, my son will become a husband! I must find out the real culprit behind the scenes and cut him to death with a thousand knives!" At the end of the sentence, his slightly red eyes revealed a strong hatred!
Su Li's body trembled slightly, and the hands hidden under her sleeves slowly tightened. When Dongfang Zhuo just knelt down, she had already noticed his intention, but she couldn't say anything.
His heartfelt confession and his firm and undeniable attitude shocked the emperor and empress, and for a while, neither of them spoke.
The queen was anxious and angry, looking at Dongfang Zhuo helpless. No one knows a son's temperament better than a mother. Although Dongfang Zhuo has an impulsive and irritable personality, he is very affectionate. Once he is determined to do something, no one can pull him back.
The emperor's eyes were deep in thought as he looked at the eldest son who was kneeling below. The sick look on his face had not faded, and his eyes were sad but firm. His former high-spirited and heroic appearance seemed to have disappeared after the day of the banquet. That Mingyu Is the princess really so important to him
"Father, the Emperor and the Queen, please grant me your permission!" Dongfang Zhuo stared straight at the emperor, his strong tone seeming to show that he would never back down.
Su Li's heart sank. From the bottom of her heart, she was not happy to work with him. Even at the banquet that day, he showed extremely strong emotions towards Li Su overturning the case, but he could not shake the hatred deep in her heart at all.
The emperor sighed, "That's all, get up. I agree."
"Thank you, Father
! "Dongfang Zhuo felt relieved, kowtowed heavily, and quickly thanked him.
"Your Majesty!" The queen couldn't help shouting.
The emperor raised his hand and stopped her, "It's okay to let him go out and practice. Although Zhuo'er has just recovered from a serious illness, he is also a martial arts practitioner. As the eldest son of the royal family and King Jing'an of Sheng Kingdom, if he continues If you can’t handle this, then how will you be able to govern the world in the future?”
When the queen heard this, she couldn't help but feel happy and sad. Even when the emperor said this, she had no choice but to keep silent.
Seeing that the request was completed, Su Li stopped staying and stood up to retire to the emperor and empress. As soon as she walked out of the royal study, she heard Dongfang Zhuo chasing after her, "Li'er."
She paused on her feet and said, "Your Majesty, do you have any instructions?"
"Thank you." A meaningless sentence.
Su Li didn't understand what he meant, and frowned slightly, looking at him in confusion.
Dongfang Zhuo said solemnly: "Thank you for everything you have done for Li Su. If it weren't for Li'er, I would have misunderstood her forever." Thinking of Li Su, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, and endless pain and regret filled his eyes. color.
Su Li looked at him calmly, her eyes seemed to be looking at an unrelated person, and only in the depths that no one could see, was hidden the overwhelming hatred.
"There is really nothing in this world that I, Dongfang Zhuo, dare not do!" The words are still in my ears, and I will never forget them until I die.
Su Li smiled coldly in her heart and said slowly: "Your Majesty is serious in his words. No one with a conscience would sit idly by and ignore an injustice like Princess Mingyu's. Su Li just followed his heart."
Dongfang Zhuo's heart was suffocated, and he was about to say something else, but was interrupted by the palace maid who ran over in a hurry, "Your Majesty, the Queen is looking for you."
Without waiting for Dongfang Zhuo to speak, Su Li immediately bowed and retreated, "The Queen has summoned me. It must be something important. Your Majesty, you don't need to pay attention to me. I will leave first." After saying that, he turned around and left without looking back.
Dongfang Zhuo, are you finally willing to admit that you misunderstood her? Is it finally time for you to regret it? If we had known today, why bother in the beginning? At that time, you were so arrogant and domineering, completely ignoring the feelings of others. If you had a little trust in her, how could you end up in this situation today
For some reason, endless sadness suddenly surged in her heart. She took a deep breath, abandoned all emotions, and quickly walked out of the palace gate.
.
"Princess Mingxi." A gentle and elegant voice stopped her in her tracks. Su Li was slightly startled, Lang Chang? Why is he still here? Following the sound, a person walked out of a soft sedan outside the palace gate. It was the Prince of Dingguo who should have left long ago.
Su Li was slightly surprised, "If something happens to His Highness, why don't you let the palace maid inform you?"
"It's okay." Lang Chang shook his head, walked quickly to her side, and said with concern: "Lang just heard that the princess was held hostage by thieves the day before yesterday? Is it a serious problem?" Although she was standing here well, Lang Chang still couldn't hide the worry that arose spontaneously.
Su Li felt warm in her heart. It turned out that he had been waiting for so long just for this matter. He immediately thanked him: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. Su Li is not seriously injured. The suspect has been arrested. Because of this, the clues to the case have been found." A blessing in disguise.”
"The other party knows your identity, and yet he dares to be so bold and arrogant. He must not be an ordinary person. You are in the open and he is in the dark, so you should be more careful!" Lang Chang frowned and thought deeply.
"Su Li will be careful. Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."
Lang Chang sighed softly and forced himself to smile, hiding his deep loneliness. "Lang will leave for home soon. I wanted to invite the princess to sit in the teahouse. It can be seen that you are busy investigating the case, so I'm afraid you won't have time." .”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is serious. Your Highness is about to return to the country. It should be Su Li who takes the initiative to bid farewell to you." Su Li said quickly. She has always had an irresistible feeling of closeness to Lang Chang, not only because of his repeated help. After some probing in the main hall, Lang Chang's hint was very obvious. He really regarded her as a relative, although in her heart, their relationship was still an unsolved mystery. At this moment, he had a melancholy look on his face, unable to conceal his feeling of parting, and he couldn't help but feel a bit of reluctance in his heart.
"Business matters are important. With the words of the princess, Lang feels at ease." Seeing her apologetic look, Lang Chang quickly comforted her. He seemed to be thinking of something and said worriedly: "When we go to Bian State, the princess must be careful. Since the other party has not succeeded, he will definitely not let it go."
The sincere care in his words made Su Li's heart heat up. Lang Chang was like a kind brother to her, and he nodded and smiled.
Lang Chang sighed: "When Lang came to Shengguo this time, the most fortunate thing was to get to know the princess. Although you and I were strangers before, Lang fell in love with the princess at first sight, as if... she was my relative." As he said that, he took off his belt from his belt. Take off a piece of white jade pendant. It has a warm color and exquisite carving. It shows a nine-clawed dragon piercing the clouds and riding on the mist. It looks so powerful and awe-inspiring. It is obviously worth a lot of money.
.
"This jade pendant is a personal belonging to Mr. Lang. He is about to part ways, so he specially gave it to the princess as a gift."
Su Li was shocked and quickly rejected it: "This gift is too expensive. Su Li will never accept it."
"If the princess sincerely makes Lang a friend, please don't refuse. In my heart, you are like my biological sister." Lang Chang looked sincere, spoke softly, but had a firmness that could not be rejected.
Su Li hesitated, not knowing how to reject his kindness.
Seeing her silence, Lang Chang understood. He couldn't help but put the jade pendant into her hands, held it tightly, and said softly: "Lang knows that this move is abrupt, but this is the only thing I can do for you right now." Do you still remember what I said in the teahouse? Cherish the people in front of you, even if you and I are just... friends."
His heartfelt care couldn't help but make Su Li's heart tremble. Finally, he sighed softly and nodded in response, "Thank you, Your Highness. In this case, Su Li... is disrespectful."
Lang Chang smiled happily and suddenly whispered in her ear: "If you encounter difficulties, you can use this jade pendant to go to Wuji Iron Shop on Dongshi Street to find Shopkeeper Wu, and he will definitely help you with all his strength."
Su Li was shocked and looked at him in astonishment. Although she guessed that this jade pendant was anything but ordinary, she never expected that it was such an important thing! The important tips he took at great risk were still in her hands and had not yet been returned. Lang Chang knew this, but he never revealed it. Unexpectedly, before leaving, he would give her a token of his mobilization of everything in Sheng Kingdom!
Does he believe her so much? ! A small jade pendant was held in the palm of her hand, but it weighed more than a thousand pounds, which weighed heavily on her heart.
Seeing her stunned on the spot, as if she couldn't believe it, Lang Chang was frank and fearless, with a little sadness in his eyes, full of reluctance to let go.
Su Li suppressed the throbbing in his heart, smiled sincerely, and said: "His Royal Highness, Su Li will keep it in his heart. When this matter comes to an end, Su Li will definitely go to Dingguo to complain."
"Seriously?" Lang Chang's eyes were filled with joy, and his gentle voice actually lost his usual composure.
Su Li smiled slightly and said loudly: "A gentleman's words."
Lang Chang stared at her closely and quickly said: "It's hard to chase a horse.
! "
The sincere smiles flow in each other's eyes, and the song will eventually fade away.
"Lang is in Dingguo and is waiting for the princess at any time. Farewell!" After saying that, Lang Chang turned around without hesitation, and before getting on the sedan, he looked at her deeply. There were thousands of words in his heart that were difficult to say, but he could only express them. Tsukuru sighed silently.
Su Li watched him go away with a smile, a faint sadness of parting lingering in her heart, and also an indescribable sadness.
The imperial edict was soon promulgated, and there was new progress in the case of Mingyu Princess Li Su. Three days later, Su Li, a first-class female officer, personally led a team to Bianguo to search for clues. The emperor specially selected a hundred guards with high martial arts skills from the palace to serve as a bodyguard to fully assist Su Li in investigating the case.
The purpose of this trip was by no means as simple as finding clues. Su Li thought about it and decided to ask the other three people in Shenmen to accompany him for a complete plan.
Wan Xin reminded: "Miss, the poison in Jiang Yuan's body has not been cured yet. He is anxious every day. I am a little worried..."
Su Li thought deeply: "He himself has excellent medical skills. The poison given to him by the former sect master is very strange. Not only are there many types, but every time I find the poison correctly, three days after applying the medicine to remove it, another one will always be born." Planting poison. It’s really not that easy to solve.”
Wan Xin frowned and said: "Then what should I do? This time... do you want him to accompany you? It will take a long time to go to Bian Country. With the thinking of the three of them, they are afraid that they will find out the identity of the young lady. If Jiang Yuan's strange poison has not been resolved , had a different mind..."
Su Li smiled faintly, "I have already thought about this. Seventy percent of the strange poisons in the world are in Bian State. It might be beneficial to him to go here. I believe that if his life was not at stake, he would not have any dissatisfaction with me. As for the identity issue, I I have no intention of hiding anything. Just act according to the situation."
Wan Xin nodded in agreement, so he went down to make careful arrangements. After the three of them disguised themselves, they joined the team of guards and followed Su Li to Bian Kingdom.
Three days passed by in a flash.
In the early morning of the day of departure, a convoy of more than a hundred people was ready to go outside the palace gate. Su Li rode a carriage and Dongfang Zhuo rode a horse. He gave the order and the team majestically left the city of Kyoto.
After walking for more than half a day, as soon as they left the boundaries of Kyoto, they heard the sound of galloping horse hooves from behind. Looking back, they saw dozens of horses coming towards them like sharp arrows.
