By the time the banquet was over, it was already midnight. Everyone was drunk. Nalan Ziyu and Nalan Zichen helped King Jin back to his dormitory. Nalan Zichen retreated. Nalan Ziyu was waiting on her father. King Jin waved his hand, and all the servants and maids in the room retreated.
At this time, four figures jumped out of the window. Just as Nalan Ziyu was about to scream, he was covered by King Jin who sat up.
Only then did Nalan Ziyu see clearly that the people coming were Nalan Hanqi, Nalan Hanyi, Nalan Fengjin and Chu Tianyou. I was a little confused for a moment, but then looking at my father's expression, I immediately understood that this was arranged by my father.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with the princess's throat?" Nalan Fengjin asked.
"I don't know. It was fine in the afternoon. Before the banquet started, this child came to me and said that his voice was hoarse." King Jin looked sad.
"Princess Princess, can you let me take your pulse?" Nalan Fengjin said.
Nalan Ziyu nodded and stretched out her hand. Nalan Fengjin's hand touched Nalan Ziyu's veins. Immediately, his face darkened: "The princess is poisoned."
"What?" King Jin and Nalan Ziyu were shocked at the same time.
"Don't be afraid. It's not a powerful poison, it just makes your voice mute for a few days, and it will heal naturally after a while." Nalan Fengjin said.
King Jin and Nalan Ziyu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Eat this. This can detoxify you, but your voice will still be mute for a few days. This is just to create an illusion." Nalan Fengjin handed over a small porcelain bottle.
Nalan Ziyu glanced at King Jin, saw him nodding, took it, and swallowed it with water.
"Thank you, Sect Master." Nalan Ziyu's voice had recovered when she spoke, and she couldn't help but be surprised.
"It will take an hour to take effect and you will be mute. Princess, what did you eat before the banquet started?" Nalan Fengjin asked.
"I haven't eaten anything." Nalan Ziyu replied.
"Then what have you smelled?" Nalan Fengjin asked.
"No." Nalan Ziyu still shook her head.
Nalan Fengjin pondered for a moment: "Your Majesty, please bring me the lipstick you used and the brush you used to apply the lipstick. Oh, don't alarm anyone."
"Okay, wait a minute." Nalan Ziyu said and walked out, and came back after a while, holding a small but very delicate porcelain cup in his hand. Pass it to Nalan Fengjin.
Nalan Fengjin took it, opened the lid, smelled it, found nothing unusual, and then went to study the lip brush.
Sure enough, I found clues on the lip brush.
Yao Guang took a glass of water, brushed her lips in the water and rinsed them. The bright red color of her lip juice spread out in the water, but within the bright red color, there was a very light cyan color.
"Sure enough, someone tampered with your lip brush. Look." Yao Guang handed the cup to Nalan Ziyu's hand. Pointing to the very light wisp of blue.
"Who wants to harm me?" Nalan Ziyu looked at Nalan Fengjin in horror.
"I think this is not your fault, this is a conspiracy." Yao Guang took the cup and put it on the table. "It's just that I didn't understand why I would just make you mute for a few days by poisoning you. What is the purpose of doing this?"
"The opening of the flower boat race? Not letting the princess on stage?" Nalan Hanqi glanced at Nalan Ziyu, and then stared at Nalan Fengjin.
"Flower boat race?" Nalan Han was stunned for a moment: "Ah Jin, this conspiracy is against you."
"I think you are right. But it's not entirely aimed at me. This is a plan that kills two birds with one stone." Nalan Fengjin thought: "It's really a big chess game. I think I understand what's going on."
"Tell me about it," King Jin said.
"This matter has been arranged from the planning time of the Flower Boat Race. Every year for the Flower Boat Race, a noble daughter from a royal family will perform in the opening ceremony. This time it is Princess Ziyu. Then the Flower Boat Race You decided who to send the invitations to the competition in advance, and then when the guests arrived, the plan started to take effect. First, the princess was poisoned so that she became mute and unable to go on stage. So what should I do? Find someone to replace you. What else can you do? Do you remember that during the banquet, when the prince talked about this matter, the governor of Lincheng strongly recommended that I should be replaced on the stage. When I arranged Xuanruo, the governor of Lincheng still strongly opposed it. Don't you find it strange? Then The governor of Lincheng has never seen me before, so why is he holding on to me like this?" Nalan Fengjin looked at everyone.
"Is this conspiracy just to get you on stage?" Nalan Hanqi looked at Nalan Fengjin and asked.
"I think it's not just me. My identity is the Phoenix Sect. No matter how powerful I am in the world, I'm just a member of the world. How could I be targeted so deliberately by these dignitaries? Their target is Han Yi." Nalan Feng Jin looked at Nalan Hanyi.
"Me?" Nalan Han said in surprise.
"It's you. Do you still remember the assassination in the imperial capital? From Xuanming Mansion to Ningshan Academy, it was all because of my presence. Not only did the assassin fail to succeed, but the entire army was wiped out. The last time at Ningshan Academy, I went down I want to win that game and let the mastermind behind these killers order an attack on my Phoenix Villa. But this plan failed again. In the eyes of this mastermind, if he wants to kill you, he must first solve my stumbling block. Without the meddling of Phoenix Sect Master, I have more opportunities to kill you. This time, just like the Flower Boat Race, I will prevent Princess Ziyu from taking the stage and then replace her with me. If my prediction is good, there will be a killer on me on the day of the opening ceremony. To intercept and kill, even if I don't die, I'm on the stage, Han Yi is under the stage, and I'm not around, so it will be easier to assassinate Han Yi in the crowd, and it won't be easy to be exposed." Nalan Fengjin finished speaking slightly Yixiao: "I don't need to tell you who the mastermind behind this is."
"Du Shi?" Everyone said in unison.
"Smart." Nalan Fengjin nodded.
"So who is the traitor in Prince Jin's palace?" Prince Jin asked.
"Who is the person who has access to the princess's personal belongings? I don't need to say this. The governor of Lincheng and those people who tried their best to replace me on stage during the banquet that day. Needless to say, they are people from the Du family. Your Majesty, send them immediately. We will monitor the governor and those officials until the flower boat race is over, and then we will clean up. During this period, we will closely monitor the people close to the princess. We will wait until the flower boat race is over, and then we will start cleaning up." After finishing speaking, Nalan Fengjin lowered his head and thought. He thought: "God bless, send me an order to transfer the young masters from the Four Pavilions of Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum, and notify the Jiangnan sub-rudder to closely monitor Lincheng. The hidden forces in Jiangnan are activated, and on the opening day of the Flower Boat Race, full civilian control will be implemented. Capture the killer and take him directly to the helm."
"Yes." Chu Tianyou nodded. Just walked out.
"How many shadow guards are here around me?" Nalan Fengjin asked.
"Sect Master is traveling far away, and the shadow guards from all directions will be by your side." Chu Tianyou said.
"Are all the shadow guards from all directions here? Oops, I've just been busy messing around and not paying attention. You inform Suzaku and ask her to follow Princess Ziyu and wait until the opening ceremony of the Flower Boat Race is over before withdrawing."
"As ordered." Chu Tianyou said.
"We haven't encountered any assassination along the way, why would we do it during the Flower Boat Race?" Nalan Han asked.
"Because the people eliminated in this assassination should already be at the level of confidants. In normal assassinations, it is easy to leave clues. The people in the flower boat race have many eyes, and even if it is not easy, escaping will be easy." Nalan Fengjin said.
"So that's it." Nalan Han nodded: "Am I so popular?"
"You are so beautiful." Nalan Fengjin gave Nalan Hanyi a blank look.
"This time, I'll thank the Phoenix Sect Master." King Jin said.
"Your Majesty, you're welcome. It's getting late, let's take our leave." After saying this, Nalan Fengjin walked out.
"Father, this Phoenix Sect Master is very powerful." Nalan Ziyu said when he saw everyone leaving.
"You can't afford to offend this person. You will know it later. Don't reveal a word about today's incident. I'm afraid Lincheng will not be stable." King Jin sighed, but he did not say the following words in front of his daughter. Speak out: Princess, when will you be willing to show up and take charge of the overall situation? The world is already on the verge of collapse.
"Yes, Father, please leave." Nalan Ziyu saw her father in a daze and retreated.
