Bai Han took a step back in fear and bowed, "Your Majesty naturally has your reasons for doing this."
Xiao An nodded and looked at Bai Han, "It's not Liu Xiangnan who I feel sorry for."
"After so many years, Liu Xiangnan should have enjoyed enough of his glory and wealth."
"It's just Liu Rumei, I feel guilty in my heart."
"It is indeed a bit wronging her to grant Chen Xiaobei a marriage for her."
Hearing this, the Lotus Leader and Shen Ziyan looked at each other. Although they could not see each other's eyes clearly in the darkness, they could understand that it turned out that Chen Xiaobei was not to blame for the marriage. This dog emperor made it all by himself.
Bai Han replied again, "Your Majesty, you can compensate Liu Rumei by giving her more rewards."
Xiao An nodded, "Yes, when she gets married to Chen Xiaobei, I will definitely reward her well and let her marry in glory."
As he was talking, he heard someone shouting outside, "Your Majesty, your ginseng soup has arrived."
While talking, Xiao Shunzi walked in from the outside carrying a tray.
Xiao An looked at him, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, and he winked at Bai Han.
Bai Han came forward, took the tray and put it on the desk, then gave Xiao Shunzi a crossbow, and Xiao Shunzi bowed and retreated outside the study.
After seeing Xiao Shunzi leave, Xiao An felt lost and shook his head.
Of course Bai Han understood what was going on and opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing. He just gently put the ginseng soup into Xiao An's hand and said, "Your Majesty, please drink the ginseng soup first."
Xiao An took the ginseng soup and took a sip, then put the bowl down again.
"Tomorrow you go to Jingyun's place and ask what clues may be found about the murder. If you really can't find anything, just bury the body. What's the point of leaving a dead body in the prince's palace? .”
Bai Han obviously did not expect that the emperor would say such a thing. He was stunned and said, "Your Majesty, why did you suddenly think of this?"
Xiao An raised his eyes and looked at the door, "When I saw Xiao Shunzi, I thought of Xiao Dezi. I have been following him for more than ten years."
"I promised him that if anything happened to him, I would send his bones back to his hometown in Xishan."
"And now, I really can't think of any way to get the body from Jing Yun, so I have no choice but to do this."
The Lotus Cult Master and Shen Ziyan outside heard this and shuddered almost at the same time. The truth was so surprising. It was actually the emperor who sent someone to kill him.
And precisely because of this shiver, the tiles under the hands of the Lotus Cult Leader moved slightly.
Bai Han in the room twitched his ears and immediately noticed something strange on the roof. He raised his hand to extinguish the oil lamp, then stepped forward and pulled Xiao An back.
Seeing on the roof that the lights in the Royal Study suddenly went out, the Lotus Leader immediately realized that the noise she had just made had been noticed. She grabbed Shen Ziyan and the two of them got up and ran out.
At this time, Bai Han settled Xiao An, rushed out of the house, stomped up to the roof, saw two black figures running out in the distance, he immediately raised his hand, and a loud arrow shot into the night sky.
"There are assassins."
With his shout, the surrounding people. The golden-armored warriors came to their senses and shouted one after another.
Then someone jumped onto the roof and followed Bai Han down.
Seeing the pursuers behind her, a sneer appeared on the corner of the Lotus Cult leader's mouth. She looked at Shen Ziyan and said, "Can junior sister outrun them?"
"Of course, just them, they can't catch me if I give them ten more legs." Shen Ziyan looked quite confident.
"Okay then, let's go to the inn separately to meet up."
After the Lotus Master finished speaking, he jumped forward and rushed to the left front.
Seeing this scene, Shen Ziyan felt warm in her heart. The front left was facing the street outside the palace.
To put it bluntly, the Lotus Cult mainly leads the pursuers away.
I can’t live up to Senior Sister’s good intentions.
Shen Ziyan dwarfed, and took advantage of the cover of the building behind to hide in the darkness next to her. Then she turned over and hid behind an eaves.
Soon Bai Han led several masters to chase him. Because the target was so unclear, they didn't realize that Shen Ziyan was hiding nearby, so they chased him all the way.
Seeing the pursuers go away and there was no movement behind him, Shen Ziyan stood up, figured out the direction and left in a hurry.
At this time, Bai Han had already led people to chase him out of the palace. The black shadow in front of him was moving fast and slow, always keeping a considerable distance from them, but Bai Han couldn't catch up.
In the alley ahead, the black shadow disappeared in a flash. Bai Han chased after him and looked at the empty street. He suddenly stamped his feet.
"Yeah, I was fooled. When I first started chasing, there were two black figures, but there was only one running in front."
Bai Han smacked his head in annoyance. He suddenly realized that something was wrong. Just now, he and the emperor were talking about Xiao Dezi's key point.
Thinking of this, Bai Han hurried to the palace. When he returned to the imperial study, Xiao An was pacing back and forth nervously.
Seeing Bai Han's return, Xiao An asked impatiently, "Have you caught the assassin?"
Bai Han cupped his fists and said, "Back to the emperor, the opponent's martial arts are extremely high, and his light kung fu is far superior to mine. There is really nothing I can do."
After hearing this, Xiao An looked up to the sky and sighed, "Well, since I came here late at night, I think they have probably found some clues and are here to find out what I am."
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for talking too much. If I hadn't talked so much, you wouldn't have mentioned Xiao Dezi."
Xiao An slowly sat down on the chair, "I'm afraid it can't be covered up now, so you can go to Xiao Jingyun's place tomorrow morning and tell him that Xiao Dezi has been missing for several days and ask him to help secretly investigate. .”
After speaking, his expression became a little solemn, "Xiao Dezi, Xiao Dezi, at this point, I can only let you take the blame."
Of course Bai Han understood what Xiao An meant, that is, this matter was done by Xiao Dezi himself and had nothing to do with the emperor.
At this time, the Lotus Leader has returned to the inn
When she came back, Shen Ziyan had already arrived and was reporting to the Nanhai Shenni.
Seeing the Lotus Cult Master coming, Shen Ziyan moved her hands and said emotionally, "Fortunately, Senior Sister diverted the pursuers, otherwise I wouldn't have come back so easily."
Nanhai Shenni looked at the Lotus Cult Master and nodded approvingly, "Lotus, Zi Yan has told me, thank you for your hard work."
The Lotus Master bowed and said, "Master, since you already know, let's go to the emperor early tomorrow morning and ask him why he sent people to harm me, Junior Sister Huang Ying."
Nanhai Shenni waved his hand, "Doesn't this mean you are telling the emperor that you are the assassin tonight?"
After hearing this, Master Lotus was speechless for a moment, thinking that what his master said made sense.
"But, Master, we can't just let it go."
Nanhai Shenni frowned and said, "No, I, we must not give up. Tomorrow morning you go to the princess and ask the princess to come out and visit the palace again to see if this little virtue is really missing."
