Chapter 247
Royal Palace.

Prince's bedroom.

Xiao Jun and Prince Zhao Jingxuan sat opposite each other.

A stove was placed next to it, and a box of hot tea and several exquisite refreshments were placed on the table.

"A few days ago, I also heard that my husband is in Xixia. I didn't expect to see him in Kyoto so soon. It seems that I have been traveling a lot recently, and I have worked hard."

The prince looked at Xiao Jun who was sitting opposite him, and said slowly.

After hearing what the kid said, Xiao Jun smiled.

It seems that the news of his rioting in the palace in the Xixia Kingdom has reached the ears of the crown prince.

"I heard that an assassin broke into the palace to assassinate His Highness not long ago, so I came here as fast as I could. Fortunately, His Highness is fine."

Xiao Jun said lightly.

"Thank you for your concern, sir, and for coming to visit me from afar. Jingxuan is very grateful."

After hearing Xiao Jun's words, the prince cupped his hands and said gratefully.

"Your Highness is serious."

Xiao Jun nodded slightly, and said lightly.

"It's a pity that the assassins were not caught that day and let them escape from the palace. If Mister was also in the palace that day, he would definitely have captured them all."

The prince said with some emotion, and couldn't help but sighed.

"Has the identity of the other party been ascertained?"

Xiao Jun asked knowingly.

"No, they came and left suddenly. They didn't leave any clues. I only know that they are all wrapped in black robes and have strong martial arts. If it wasn't for General Guan who led the people to arrive in time, I am afraid that sir will not see me today. .”

The prince shook his head, smiled wryly and said.

"I heard from Chu Fei that the assassin first went to His Majesty's bedroom, and then came to His Majesty's bedroom?"

Xiao Jun was silent for a while, then asked lightly.

"That's right. Commander Qin was the first to discover that someone had broken into the palace. After issuing an early warning, he led people to chase after him. Maybe it was because his whereabouts were exposed, so he was transferred to me."

The prince nodded and said.

"But has your Highness ever thought about why they are so familiar with the palace? They were able to find His Majesty's bedroom in a short period of time, and then found it quickly after being discovered? Even the eunuchs and maids who have just entered the palace may not have ten days and a half months. Are you so familiar with the palace?"

Xiao Jun narrowed his eyes, looked at the prince and said seriously.

Hearing Xiao Jun's words, the prince couldn't help being stunned for a moment, as if he had finally come to his senses.

"Sir, do you mean that there are traitors in this palace?!"

The prince looked at Xiao Jun solemnly, and asked in a deep voice.

"Your Highness, don't forget how the people from the Longevity Gate entered the palace and kidnapped you, Your Highness."

Xiao Jun didn't answer the prince's words directly, but said insinuatingly.

After hearing Xiao Jun's words, the prince's face became more solemn.

"Any assassin must have planned the assassination target, the route of action and the route of retreat before the action. How could it be possible to change the target temporarily? And the target is so accurate?"

"Your Highness may say that maybe the assassins have already set the target of the assassination in advance to be His Majesty and His Highness, but this is the Song Palace, and the total number of people in the Imperial Army and the Palace Department is more than tens of thousands? If they are not crazy, how can they Maybe you think you can rush here to kill the prince after killing His Majesty?"

Xiao Jun picked up the teacup, took a sip slowly, and said lightly.

"What do you mean, sir, that they didn't go to the emperor's bedroom at all, but came directly to me, because their target is me?!"

The prince looked at Xiao Jun asked solemnly, his face was a little pale.

"If I'm right, it should be."

Xiao Jun didn't prevaricate this time, he nodded and said.

The prince clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth, and stopped talking.

After a long time.

"Could it be someone from the Longevity Gate again?!"

The prince looked at Xiao Jun solemnly, and asked.

"No."

Xiao Jun shook his head.

"Could it be that sir has found out who the assassin is?"

The prince continued to ask.

"I didn't find out, but based on their outfits, I have already guessed their identities."

Xiao Jun looked at the prince seriously, and said lightly.

"who are they?!"

The prince opened his eyes wide and asked again.

"Bloodlines."

"Bloodlines?"

Hearing Xiao Jun's answer, the prince was at a loss.

"That's right, they belonged to the same line as the Changshengmen, but they fell apart because of some things, but I still haven't figured out why they all pointed their finger at His Highness. It seems that many people don't want His Highness to live."

Xiao Jun explained lightly.

"Longevity Gate? Blood Race? Is it really him?"

The prince muttered to himself.

"Your Highness is the future king of the Song Dynasty. The person who killed you has only two purposes. One is to destroy the future of the Song Dynasty, and the other is that some people don't want you to be the future of the Song Dynasty."

Xiao Jun pondered for a moment, then said lightly.

This sentence has been made very clear, no matter what kind of purpose it is, someone wants to kill the prince and then hurry up.But as for who the black hand behind the scenes is, Xiao Jun doesn't want to guess, nor can he guess.

"But others are at Yanmen Pass, don't they give up thousands of miles away? Are you still coveting the position of the East Palace?!"

The prince gritted his teeth and said thoughtfully.

Xiao Jun didn't speak, just pretending he didn't hear, and continued to drink his own tea.

No matter what his relationship with the prince is, or what the prince's character is, he can't intervene in this matter. The affairs in the palace contain too many shady swords and shadows, intrigues, and disasters come from the mouth. Xiao Jun I have understood it very clearly.

"Sir, Jingxuan has an unfeeling request, and I hope you can agree to it."

The prince pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked at Xiao Jun and cupped his hands, and said very seriously.

After hearing the prince's words, Xiao Jun couldn't help feeling tense, feeling something.

"Your Highness, it's okay to say."

Xiao Jun hesitated for a moment, then said lightly.

"Jingxuan knows that Mr. No. [-] in the world has great powers, and I hope that Mr. can help me investigate secretly to find out who is behind the scenes?"

The prince looked at Xiao Jun with expectant eyes and said slowly.

After hearing what the prince said, Xiao Jun couldn't help but frowned.

Sure enough, he guessed right.

"Sir, may I know?"

Seeing that Xiao Jun did not respond for a long time, the prince asked again.

"Do your best."

Xiao Jun replied lightly, neither guarantee nor evasion.

"Thank you sir, Jingxuan is very grateful."

The prince looked excited and said gratefully.

Xiao Jun nodded, then slowly stood up.

"I'm relieved to confirm that the prince is safe and sound. It's getting late and I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave first."

Xiao Jun cupped his hands at the prince, and said calmly.

"Sir go slow."

Hearing that Xiao Jun was about to leave, the prince stood up hastily, but did not hold back, saluted respectfully, and said slowly.

Xiao Jun nodded, turned around and walked out.

But as soon as he reached the door, he stopped suddenly, but he didn't look back.

"Your Highness should pay more attention to Qin Yu in the future. He is different from Chu Fei. Chu Fei truly submits to His Highness."

As the words fell, Xiao Jun continued to walk out, and slowly left the prince's bedroom.

He didn't tell the prince how impoverished Chu Fei's family was, and he didn't say how desolate Chu Fei was now. He felt that the prince should have known all these things.

He was just a little bit aggrieved for Chu Fei. Compared to Chu Fei's loyalty to the prince, the prince didn't seem to take Chu Fei too seriously.

So much to say, he couldn't say any more.

Besides, there are still people outside the palace waiting for him to go shopping, he doesn't want to waste any more time.

After hearing Xiao Jun's words, the expression on the prince's face froze for a moment, looking at Xiao Jun's back with complicated eyes.
