Chapter 272
"You are still the same as before. Even if you regain your status as a princess, you are still so easy to be deceived."

"If one day I'm not by your side, what will you do if you are deceived by those bastards?"

Standing up slowly, looking at Song Ran's peaceful sleeping face, Si Xie sighed slightly.

Hearing the movement, Song Ran's eyelashes trembled slightly, and there was a tendency to wake up.

Si Xie, on the other hand, quickly set a sleeping point for her.

After making sure that she wouldn't wake up, Si Xie got off the bed. He easily picked her up and placed her gently on his bed.

"I'm not as fragile as you think, and I still need your care."

He raised the other uninjured hand, and gently pinned the messy hair on Song Ran's cheek behind her earlobe with his fingers.

After a long time, he stood up straight, then quickly turned around and went out.

The moment the door was pushed open, Ming Sha was overjoyed.

"Your Majesty, are you awake?"

"Well, did you find out what happened tonight?" Si Xie said coldly.

He couldn't suppress the chill all over his body, he was really angry this time.

He didn't care about too many assassinations before, because he was used to them.

But these people shouldn't have done anything wrong, they just shouldn't have almost hurt her.

"Reporting to the emperor, I sent people to clean up the corpses where you and the ninth princess were killed, and found that the marks on their bodies were the same as those who hunted us down a few days ago."

"You mean, the person who hunted us down this time is most likely the work of Si Jingcang?" Si Xie said sharply.

Why do we say "again", because since Si Xie ascended the throne, some killers from the Jianghu have often come to hunt him down.

At first he thought they were from the Ning family, but later he discovered that these people had secret contacts with Si Jingcang.

Therefore, Si Jingcang started attacking him frequently a long time ago.

"Si Jingcang can still mobilize so many people in Beihan Capital, it's impossible that no one will help him! I'm afraid that this accomplice is not low in status." Si Xie glanced at Ming Sha, and his tone was extremely sharp.

Hearing this, Ming Sha's face changed drastically.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean... the people in Beihan know your identity?"

"Not necessarily. I'm not sure whether those people are going to attack me or Ran'er. I will give you three days to thoroughly investigate this matter with Han Shen."

Si Xie ordered coldly.

"I obey!" Ming Sha nodded without any hesitation.

It must be thoroughly investigated about the safety of the emperor and the nine princesses.

but……

After answering, Mingsha suddenly realized a new question...

"Yes, yes?" The emperor actually called Princess Nine as Ran?Ming Sha looked a little confused.

"But you can call it?" Si Xie's tone became cold again.

Ming Sha's face turned pale, and he was instantly frightened.

"The humble official is guilty, and the humble official will never dare to disrespect the nine princesses again." He hastened to solemnly promise.
Hearing Ming Sha's words, Si Xie's complexion improved a little.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing..."

Ming Sha suddenly remembered something, and his tone was slightly dignified.

"Say." Si Xie's tone was extremely cold.

"Yes... it's Xiao Li's matter. The Northwest Northwest issue is about to be resolved, and Xiao Li is probably coming back soon. What should we do?"

Ming Sha bit the bullet and asked.

"How long can you hold him?" Si Xie frowned slightly.

Xiao Li was indeed a rival in love who gave him a great sense of crisis.

"We originally planned to hold him for three months, but now... it is estimated that it will be a month at most." Ming Sha continued to answer in a muffled voice.

So, what should the emperor do next?

If the stewed frogs continue to be so docile, maybe a month later, when Xiao Li returns, the identity of the emperor will be exposed.

This is not the most serious thing, the thing that disturbs him the most...

Xiao Li seems to be too strong, and I don't know if the emperor can win him.

"Prepare the horse." Si Xie suddenly turned his eyes sideways, staring at Ming Sha,

"Your Majesty, it's so late at night, and you just got rid of the poison on your body, where do you want to go?" Ming Sha asked worriedly.

"East Palace! I must go see Song Zhice."

……

East Palace.

Song Zhice was in the study, and just finished approving the memorial his father gave him, he let out a bad breath and pressed his brows together.

Chu Jun is not so easy to do.

"My lords, how are you doing these days?"

He put down the pen, and asked quietly.

His confidants Guang'an and Guangshan hurried forward.

"Reporting to His Royal Highness, the princes have kept themselves safe recently, and those from Lanming Palace often wanted to go to the imperial study to complain because of the sixth princess's humiliation, but the emperor simply ignored them..."

Guang'an quickly reported the situation.

Hearing this, Song Zhice sneered.

"The princes and daughters from Lanming Palace are all on par with Concubine Liu Gui, they are all villains who like to report."

He is not afraid of the people of Lanming Palace, what he is worried about is the restlessness of the Queen Mother.

Of course, there is also the Eighth Prince who is valued by the Empress Dowager.

The queen mother's favorite granddaughter is Song Xiang, and the most important granddaughter is the eighth prince Song Heyu.

"I found out that there seems to be some movement in the Eighth Prince's side." At this time, Guangshan said seriously.

"Oh? Why is there any movement?"

"Although the Eighth Prince lives in the palace, because of the special status of his mother and concubine, they have a palace outside the capital. I found out that there are people of unknown origin in that palace."

Guangshan continued.

"A person of unknown origin? What is the eighth emperor going to do?" Song Zhice lowered his eyes, hiding the coldness in his eyes.

Among the many royal brothers, he knows too well who is the real wolf.

Although the eighth brother always looks like he doesn't fight or grab in front of his father.

But behind his father's back, he used the most intrigues and tricks.

Before leaving the capital, the Prince Regent had repeatedly told him to be careful of the Eighth Emperor.

"Continue to investigate. Be sure to find out who those people are, and what are they gathering for!"

With a straight face, Si Xie ordered in a cold voice.

Song Heyu has always been suspicious and cautious, why did he let so many people into the palace this time?

Presumably this matter is not simple.

While Song Zhice was still thinking about Song Heyu, suddenly there was a guard outside the door to report.

"Report to His Royal Highness, Mr. Sikong, please see me."

Mr. Sikong is here?

"What time is it? Why did Mr. Sikong suddenly come to the East Palace?"

Song Zhice frowned. Although he was puzzled, he didn't want to neglect Mr. Sikong, so he hurriedly asked someone to bring him here.

Soon, a figure with a powerful aura walked in slowly.

Hearing the sound, Song Zhice stood up, while Guang'an quickly took the cloak and put it on him.

"Mister came to visit the East Palace late at night, but what happened?" Song Zhice asked worriedly.
