The night is thick and sweeping like the wind.

The fast horse galloped through the night and entered the imperial mausoleum.

Fang Qi was very anxious, but holding the token in his hand, he was able to get through without any hindrance.

Pass all the defenders and go straight to Zhuangyan Temple.

After entering the temple, we went straight to King Yu's Zen room. The lights were brightly lit inside, and there was a faint cry for help from a girl.

At this moment, Fang Qi's whole body was tense to the extreme. His daughter was in his mind. He didn't care about anything else. He kicked open the door and rushed in.

What caught his eye was King Yu's naked body, with the girl pinned down beneath him.

The girl was none other than his daughter.

The wife was lying on the ground beside her, a pool of blood forming a river, and she had made no sound.

But at this moment, the daughter's face was pale and miserable. She was dying, blood was flowing from the corner of her lips, and she was pleading silently towards him.

"Daddy, help me!"

Fang Qi's eyes were filled with blood, and he roared, "You beast, I'll kill you!"

As soon as the long sword came out, it went straight towards King Yu.

Following a scream, King Yu's voice came out, "Guard you, escort..."

The defenders swarmed in and the Buddha descended to the holy place, where blood flowed like a river!

But what Fang Qi didn't know was that the moment King Yu fell, there was no one else on the bed behind him.

The night was silent, and the clouds obscured the bright moon.

By the time the news reached the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was already midnight.

Bailiheng was sitting lazily in the study. He was not surprised at all when he heard the news. He turned the pages of the book with his well-jointed fingers, but a smile appeared on his lips.

Zhang Yue, on the other hand, was shocked.

"Sir, this was all...done by her? How did she do it?"

"How did you do it? Then you might as well ask her yourself!"

After Bailiheng said this, he put away the books in his hands and looked out the door with his deep eyes.

Sure enough, Zhang Tong appeared at the door, "Sir, Miss Lin is here!"

"Well, let her in."

A moment later, Shi Qinghuan walked in happily, still dressed in his original clothes.

But when he saw Shi Qinghuan's face clearly, Bailiheng's expression darkened, "A fight?"

He didn't expect Bailiheng to ask this question. Shi Qinghuan was stunned and said, "Well, it's just one move."

Yes, it was just one move, but she still dodged it.

He was still drained by Fang Qi's sword energy.

Fang Qi was too strong, and now she was too weak.

Bailiheng frowned slightly and was about to speak again, but Zhang Yue rushed forward and looked at Shi Qinghuan curiously.

"Did you do what happened at Zhuangyan Temple?"

"Is there any result?"

In terms of being well-informed, Bailiheng was the fastest, which was why she came here.

"Yes, the news is that Fang Qi rushed into Zhuangyan Temple like crazy and assassinated the emperor's uncle. The emperor's uncle was seriously injured. Fang Qi resisted and was killed on the spot. It's strange to say why Fang Qi suddenly assassinated the emperor's uncle. ?”

Shi Qinghuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that King Yu was still alive, and then began to answer Zhang Yue's questions.

"Because he saw his daughter being destroyed by King Yu."

"What? You gave his daughter to the emperor's uncle?"

Zhang Yue looked shocked, but Bailiheng sighed helplessly and looked at Shi Qinghuan, "They must have returned home safely."

"Yes, I took them around for a while and then sent them back!"

Listening to the conversation between the two of them, Zhang Yue became more and more confused, "Wait a minute, why didn't I understand? Since his wife and daughter are safe in the house, who is the emperor's uncle? If it's not his daughter, this Fang Qi Why do you want to take the emperor’s uncle’s life again?”

"It's poison." Bailiheng smiled slightly, "It's what you were busy with in the room the past few days."

As expected, nothing could escape Bailiheng's eyes.

Shi Qinghuan took out two medicine bottles.

"That's right, what's inside this is called Soul Lian, which is what I used for Fang Qi. The greatest effect of Soul Lian's poison is to arouse fear in people's hearts. When his Qi and blood surge to a certain level, Everything he saw was what he was most afraid of seeing in his heart."

Only then did Zhang Yue realize, "So, you poisoned him, aroused the fear in his heart, and deliberately lied to him that his daughter was with the emperor's uncle. He must have witnessed the emperor's uncle killing young girls. Young, so the most terrifying thing at the moment is that his daughter will end up like this."

"Yes, Fang Qi rushed to Zhuangyan Temple on horseback. The anger and fire attacked his heart and the effect of the medicine was at its maximum. Therefore, when he entered Prince Yu's room, no matter what the reality in front of him was, he would see the scene that he feared. In this way, He will kill King Yu."

Zhang Tong added, but he also had doubts, "But what I find strange is that with Fang Qi's skill, how could Prince Yu survive under his hands? And those guards are not strong enough to kill Fang Qi."

Shi Qinghuan smiled lightly and said nothing, while Bailiheng picked up the tea cup on one side and drank it casually.

"Because she planned all of this."

"What?"

Zhang Yue and Zhang Tong looked surprised, and then Shi Qinghuan spoke leisurely.

"The poison of soul attachment will hurt people's lungs when their anger attacks their hearts."

"So Fang Qi was seriously injured when he collapsed. No wonder the emperor's uncle was able to survive. But Miss Lin, speaking of the emperor's uncle being the culprit, why did you let him go?"

After Zhang Yue said this, Shi Qinghuan couldn't help but chuckle.

"Let him go?"

The smile on Shi Qinghuan's face was light and gentle, but with the gloomy look in his eyes, Bailiheng couldn't help but look sideways.

"Since he is the culprit, wouldn't it be an advantage for him to die in Fang Qi's hands like this?"

Zhang Yue's heart palpitated, but Zhang Tong frowned, "Miss Lin is acting so recklessly, aren't you afraid of getting angry?"

He was worried about damaging Bailiheng, and Shi Qinghuan naturally understood.

"Don't worry, this matter has left no trace."

"The carriage robber?"

"Never showed up."

"Then the poison you gave me?"

"This poison is unknown to outsiders and will disappear without a trace after death."

If it were said that the soul-linking poison had been discovered, only one person could do so.

But he would never tell this.

Zhang Tong had nothing to ask, so Bailiheng put down the tea cup and said, "Okay."

This means that the matter ends here.

Then he looked at the medicine bottle in Shi Qinghuan's hand, "You only said that one was soul-linking, but what about the other one?"

"Menglao!"

"Prepared for Prince Yu?"

Shi Qinghuan chuckled and raised his lips, "Yes, but we have to wait until the end of the year!"

"Um!"

Bailiheng responded lightly without stopping at all.

This made Zhang Tong frown.

Bailiheng stood up and walked to Shi Qinghuan.

"I have something to do and I have to leave the city for a few days."

Shi Qinghuan's expression changed slightly, "Is there any danger?"

Hearing this, Bailiheng's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but get closer to Shi Qinghuan, "Are you worried about me?"

Facing Bailiheng's approach, Shi Qinghuan subconsciously took a step back, waited until he was far away, and then nodded, "Your Excellency, you are on the cusp of the storm, so you must be careful."

Although he didn't answer directly, Bailiheng seemed to be in a good mood.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen. Just wait in Kyoto for a few days."

With that said, Bailiheng leaned slightly in front of Shi Qinghuan, "Don't cause trouble!"

The tone was soft, and there was an unprecedented chuckle on Bailiheng's face.

Not a normal smile, but a genuine smile.

Shi Qinghuan was startled in her heart, because in these words, she actually heard a hint of pampering?

No, I must have heard wrongly.

Shi Qinghuan shook his head, then nodded and saluted, "Don't worry, sir, I just stay in the house with peace of mind."

Fang Qi's affairs have been completed, and the time has not come yet for the General's Mansion and Zhuangyan Temple. She really can only stay in the mansion.

"That's good!"

"In this case, the night is already dark, so I will go back first!"

"Um."

Shi Qinghuan turned around and left. When he got out of the yard, he breathed a sigh of relief and found out that Fang Qi was dead. He was in a good mood.

But at this moment in the study room, Bailiheng turned to look at Zhang Tong, his expression gloomy.

"How is her injury?"

"With only one move, she turned over and ran away. She was probably just hit by the sword energy, so she was not seriously injured."

After hearing this, Bailiheng's expression slowly relaxed.

But Zhang Tong suddenly fell to his knees and said, "Sir, I have something I have to say."

Bailiheng raised his eyebrows halfway, "I know what you are going to say."

"Your Excellency, Lin Manyun is too reckless and reckless in his actions. This will cause harm to Your Majesty."

"She is indeed impulsive, but what she does is just seemingly reckless."

Bailiheng said, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

"You will understand later that what she is best at...is layout."
