Chapter 59 The Change of Huo'er

"Master, I'm not young!" Huo'er explained in a good-tempered manner.

Qian Ling: "Then look at yourself and me, do you still think you are not young?"

fire:"???"

Is this what the master means by small?
So, it turned back to its original body, growing rapidly from a cluster of small flames:
"Master, look, I am not young."

Qian Ling looked calm: "Change back."

Huo'er obeyed obediently.

Qian Ling: "Your body doesn't count."

fire:"……"

It doesn't understand.

Isn't that all it is?

Why not?

The imperial city of Tianqi Kingdom has been experiencing frequent major incidents recently.

No, some time ago, the princess of the prime minister's mansion and the second lady of Ye's mansion disappeared one after another, yet another big event happened.

The Yuansheng Pavilion was unexpectedly attacked!

Everyone knows that Yuansheng Pavilion is mysterious and inviolable to everyone.

Now that something like this happened, it shocked the world and subverted the world's cognition.

It's hard to imagine what kind of person the person who did this is?

As ordinary people, they are just lively spectators.

Of course, some people are beginning to realize the recent unrest.

The deaths of more than 20 killers in Yuansheng Pavilion and the disappearance of Princess Xiangrui all happened on the same day and night.

Following Xiaoyao Wang's poisoning spread throughout the imperial city.

And then, the second miss of Ye Mansion disappeared for no reason.

All of the above plus the current Yuansheng Pavilion being attacked.

This imperial city is completely in chaos.

Some smart people have already smelled the unusualness and undercurrents hidden under each incident.
-
Prime Minister's House.

Xiao Zhuxue sent her maid Zhu Zhu out, but she still didn't return when it was getting late.

She wondered: Could something have happened?

Then I thought about it again: It's just going out to bring a word, there should be no problem.

But looking at the sky, these reasons are obviously untenable.

She knew very well that something might happen to Zhu Zhu.

Glancing at the man asleep on the bed, she decided to venture out to have a look.

Soon she changed into a set of night clothes, jumped out of the window, and was about to use her skills to fly to the roof, when a voice suddenly interrupted her.

"Sister-in-law, it's so late, where are you going dressed like this?"

Qian Mingzhu fixed her eyes on the woman in black night clothes.

Xiao Zhuxue's body was stiff and her fists were clenched.

"Sister-in-law, I know it's you." Qian Mingzhu said firmly, "Looking at your outfit, don't you think you're going out to do some shady things?"

Xiao Zhuxue turned around abruptly, with the familiar smile still on her face:
"It turned out that the fourth brother came over, do you want to go in and sit down?

"It just so happens that your eldest brother suddenly feels unwell, and I feel relieved to be with you.

"Zhu Zhu isn't here, it's so inconvenient for me to go out alone at night, that's why I'm dressed like this.

"Nowadays there are a lot of rumors about our Prime Minister's Mansion. I don't want to cause extra problems. I think the fourth brother understands it?"

Qian Mingzhu frowned: "What's wrong, big brother?"

Xiao Zhuxue: "It's nothing serious, just a minor problem."

"Since it's a minor problem, my sister-in-law will order the servants in the mansion to take care of it, so why go there by myself?"

Qian Mingzhu was already suspicious of her, now seeing her appearing like this with her own eyes, naturally she is not willing to just let it go.

Hearing this, Xiao Zhuxue smiled wryly:

"Fourth brother doesn't know something, I can't call out the servants in this mansion now.

"Now that you're here just in time, take care of your elder brother for me, and I'm relieved a lot."

Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, Qian Mingzhu frowned: "Where is eldest brother now?"

Although Ling'er's matter is not right, but he can't just watch him have something and remain indifferent.

Xiao Zhuxue: "Come with me."

The two came to the inner room of the main house.

On the bed, Qian Tianyi closed his eyes tightly, as if he was asleep.

Qian Mingzhu looked at it for a while, and felt that something was wrong.

He turned around, but before he could say a word, a knife command struck him.

His eyes darkened and he fainted to the ground.

With cold eyes, Xiao Zhuxue took out a rope, tied him up, and pushed him under the bed.

The movements are smooth and done in one go, not at all like a woman who has lived in the backyard for a long time.

Qian Mingzhu, I didn't intend to touch you.

But you have repeatedly hindered me, and now that you have delivered it to your door, you can't blame me.

Dispose of the traces of someone coming, and left again.

The power in the body was running, and within a few breaths, the person had already arrived outside the mansion.

Jing Xu, who had been guarding outside all the time, remained calm and kept a distance to follow.

After going around several times, Xiao Zhuxue finally stopped in front of a seemingly inconspicuous courtyard gate.

Not knowing what's going on inside, Jing Xu didn't dare to get too close rashly.

Xiao Zhuxue knocked on the door three times.

After a while, the door opened.

Xiao Zhuxue carefully observed the surroundings, and no suspicious person appeared, so she opened the door and walked in.

She found someone familiar with the car, without any nonsense, and said directly:
"You promised me that Qianling would not be alive, but now my people tell her that she is still alive somewhere, you broke your promise."

The man's whole body was wrapped in a gray robe, leaving only a pair of eyes uncovered.

He made tea gracefully.

Xiao Zhuxue's patience was almost exhausted.

At this time, the man poured himself a cup and said slowly:

"You didn't tell me that there were other people who were with the princess that day.

"I sent people to ambush in a hurry, which caused me to lose more than 20 elites.

"This account, may I ask Miss Xiao, how should I settle it?"

"What do you mean?" Xiao Zhuxue frowned.

"It seems that the stable life in the Prime Minister's Mansion has passed for a long time, and Miss Xiao has become more and more innocent."

The man said indifferently: "Because of your intelligence error, I have suffered heavy losses.

"So, Miss Xiao understands?"

Xiao Zhuxue was puzzled: "How do you know someone other than Qian Ling did it?"

Man: "Being able to take the lives of more than 20 strong men overnight is not something a girl in her teens can possess."

Xiao Zhuxue fell into deep thought.

After a long time, the man asked: "How is Lin Shun doing on weekdays?"

Xiao Zhuxue: "Everyone knows that King Xiaoyao has a top expert beside him, and it is Lin Shun.

"I don't know how powerful his martial arts are. It is rumored that he has never met an opponent."

Speaking of this, she suddenly understood:
"You mean to say that Lin Shun rescued Qian Ling that day?"

"There are rumors that the princess is a unique existence to King Xiaoyao.

"Since he is the one who cares, let his subordinates protect him, it's not hard to guess."

The man said leisurely.

Xiao Zhuxue: "According to what I can tell, King Xiaoyao didn't seem to be in the imperial city for a few days.

"He's not here, and neither should his subordinates."

Man: "All you know is what others let you know."

"If this is the case, we need to get rid of Qian Ling, and it must be difficult."
