Xue Huai'an said: "Exactly, besides the Duke's serious injury, he still has something to say. It must be very important, but he can't say it...The assassin must know that the Duke knows the secret, and he is worried that the Duke will wake up." , and told His Highness the secret, that's why he sneaked in here and killed the Duke...!"

The prince said: "If this is the case, then the assassin is still in the palace?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, Lin Yuanfang and the others were already showing signs of nervousness.

However, Qian Chouniu had already knelt down on the ground, and pleaded guilty: "The lowly ranks are not good for doing things, let the assassins sneak into the palace without knowing it, and please forgive me!"

"Wearing official boots, a man in his thirties enters the palace as if he had entered a deserted place. Who do you think he could be?" All the gates have been sealed, not to mention that they will never return, even if they want to come back, it is absolutely impossible, unless they can fly in from the sky."

Xue Huai'an said: "What Your Highness said is true. When Chu Huan left, the tunnel had already been sealed off. If there were really assassins, they could only come in with Chu Huan before the tunnel was blocked...!"

"If it is Chu Huan's accomplice, he probably won't stay." The prince said: "If he stays, wouldn't it be hard to fly? If it is Chu Huan's accomplice, when Chu Huan hijacked the queen to leave, he must have left with him." go."

"Could it be another force?"

"The Shenyiwei and the guards are searching everywhere in the palace. If there is really an assassin, it will be difficult to hide." The prince said: "Feng Yuanpo is dead, and Chiliandian has escaped from the tunnel...!" He frowned Locked tightly, suddenly the corners of his eyebrows twitched, "Could it be that King Garuda? After the mist in the Heavenly Palace, the assassins and rebels all escaped, but there was no sign of King Garuda. Not weak."

Xuanyuan Shao was thoughtful, and suddenly said softly: "Your Highness, is it possible... that assassin is right beside us!"

"What does General Xuanyuan mean?"

"What I mean by this subject, is it possible that the assassin is someone from the imperial court?" Xuanyuan Shao's eyes were deep, "He has been hiding by our side...!"

Everyone's colors changed slightly, and they couldn't help but look at the people around them.

The crown prince hesitated for a moment, waved his hands and said: "You all retreat first." Looking at Xuanyuan Shao: "General Xuanyuan stay here."

Everyone knew that the crown prince must have something to say to Xuanyuan Shao alone, and they were all apprehensive, not daring to disobey orders, and they all withdrew. When Qian Chouniu went out, he even locked the door behind him. After they went out, they whispered softly, There was a lot of discussion.

"General Xuanyuan, have you discovered anything?" The prince asked Xuanyuan Shao, staring at him.

Xuanyuan Shao approached and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the guards and guards in the palace are loyal to the imperial court, there should be no problem, but...!" After a pause, he finally said softly: "Your Highness is very loyal to the imperial court. Does Xuanzhen Daozong understand?"

The crown prince frowned and said, "General Xuanyuan doubts Xuanzhen Taoism?"

Xuanyuan Shaodao: "Xuanzhen Daozong has practiced the Nanhua Mantra, as far as I know, the Nanhua Mantra is the secret treasure of Taoism. It can not only adjust Qi and nourish energy, but also is a very high martial arts mentality...!"

"You mean Xuanzhen Daozong has martial arts?"

Xuanyuan Shao said softly: "I am not sure, but I think that if there is a hidden master in Tiangong, maybe it is this Xuanzhen Taoist."

The prince pondered for a moment, and finally said: "I don't know how Xuanzhen Daozong's martial arts are, but I know his details. Before entering the palace, he was just the head teacher of the Taoist sect of longevity and had no special connections. Zhiruo Guogong has not much contact with Xuanzhen Daozong, there should be no grievances between the two...!" Wei Yi pondered, and then said: "But since you have doubts, I will send Shenyiwei to investigate secretly , always find out the truth about the Duke’s murder.”

Xuanyuan Shao cupped his hands and said, "I thank Your Highness."

"Xuanyuan, your Xuanyuan clan is the number one martial arts family in the Great Qin Dynasty, and you are loyal to the court. I am very relieved of the Xuanyuan clan." The crown prince stared at Xuanyuan Shao, "You know the current situation better than this palace, Feng Although Yuan Po died, Hexi was not completely under the control of the imperial court, and the immediate goal was to firmly control Hexi. Although Feng Yuanpo rebelled against the imperial court, his death would leave countless wounds for the imperial court. Thousands of elite soldiers, plus barbarian cavalry, the Hexi army is also considered to be strong. Yuan Chongshang in Anyi, Qiao Mingtang in Xishan, and Meilong in Hujin are all loyal ministers of the empire. Based on this, the revival of the Great Qin is just around the corner!"

"What Your Highness said is very true." Xuanyuan Shao said seriously: "Xuanyuan's family will definitely help His Highness wholeheartedly, even if they die."

The prince stretched out his hand to hold Xuanyuan Shao's arm, and said with a smile: "To lead the army, my palace may not be as good as you. The burden of recovering the lost land will eventually fall on your shoulders. There is Chilian Electricity in the east, and there is Chu in the west." Huan, these two people, one tiger and one wolf, are not easy to deal with, but as long as the east is flattened in Liaodong, and the west is set in the northwest, then the Great Qin can be the soldiers of the north, drive straight down, break through the gates of heaven, recover the capital, and revive the Great Qin." After a pause, he said solemnly: "The Xuanyuan family has made outstanding achievements. Although the old Duke has gone, the status of the Xuanyuan family in our Daqin is unshakable. After my palace inherits the Datong, I plan to let you inherit the title of the Duke. You What do you think?"

Xuanyuan Shao was stunned, and knelt down on the ground: "I...you are young and shallow, how dare you receive such honor?"

"Your Xuanyuan family are of course worthy of such honor." The crown prince sighed softly: "All this time, I felt that my father treated your Xuanyuan family a little bit lightly, but now it seems that my father has far-sightedness and foresight. The reason." After a pause, he asked, "Xuanyuan Shengcai is still in the northwest, but has he written with you?"

Xuanyuan Shao immediately said: "There is no contact."

The prince said: "Xuanyuan Shengcai is also a child of the Xuanyuan family, and sooner or later the Palace will use him...!" After hesitating for a while, he finally said: "You can send someone to the northwest to contact Xuanyuan Shengcai in secret. As far as the palace knows, he now holds military power in the northwest, and he has gained Chu Huan's trust, but after this incident is over, I don't know how Chu Huan will treat him when he returns to the northwest."

Xuanyuan Shao hesitated before asking: "Your Highness wants to call him to Hexi?"

"Then there is no need to worry." The prince thought for a while, "Well, if he is willing to come to Hexi, let him return as soon as possible, but if Chu Huan still wants to use him, he can stay in the northwest temporarily. Chu Huan, sooner or later we will face each other on the battlefield, and then victory may be of great use."

Xuanyuan Shao cupped his hands and said, "Yes!"

The prince glanced at Xuanyuan Pingzhang's body, and sighed: "As soon as the Duke left, the empire lost a pillar of the sky... Now we can only wait for the situation in Hexi to stabilize, and let the Duke and the emperor hold the national funeral together... ...!" Gently patted Xuanyuan Shao's arm, "Xuanyuan, you are here to accompany the Duke!" Without saying much, he went out.

Back in her bedroom, Liuli and the maids were already ready. Seeing the prince's return, Liuli hurried forward and asked worriedly, "Your Highness, has the queen ever returned?"

The crown prince shook his head, forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, Liuli, are you ready?"

Liu Li said: "Your Highness, everything is packed, are you going to leave now?"

The crown prince nodded, seeing a trace of paleness on Liuli's beautiful face, and said softly, "Do you still feel uncomfortable?"

"I'm much better now." Liu Li forced a smile.

The crown prince waved his hand to signal the maids to retreat first, and then said: "Liuli, when we arrive at Wuping Prefecture, when the situation in Hexi is stabilized, this palace will have to inherit the great rule, ascend the throne and proclaim the emperor. The country cannot be without a king for a day. The burden of the Great Qin Jiangshan is naturally borne by this palace."

Liu Li nodded her head slightly, and said softly: "His Highness has many things to do from now on, but you need to pay more attention to your body."

"I want to discuss with you. After I ascend the throne, I plan to make you a queen." The prince stared at Liuli's charming blue eyes, "At that time, you will be the mother of the world."

Liuli was stunned, and said anxiously: "Your Highness, I'm a concubine...!"

"Needless to say, I have already made a decision and I will not change my mind." The prince said: "Looking at the world, only you are qualified to be the queen of this palace. If you have followed this palace for several years, what this palace can give you is also worth it." That's the only title."

What Liu Li wanted to say, the prince had already smiled and said: "No need to say more, since you are ready, let's take them out first, I still have something to do, so let's delay for a while."

Liuli could only lead the maids out of the inner palace first, and just as she left, a figure entered the room lightly, with one palm on her chest, and said respectfully: "Your Highness!"

The crown prince turned the wheelchair, and the person who came was dressed in a Taoist robe, with white hair and a childlike face, he was the Xuanzhen Taoist sect.

The prince showed a friendly expression on his face, and said softly: "Daozong, it's hard for you!"

Xuanzhen Daozong came forward, took out a jade box from his bosom, opened it, but there were two pills in it, the prince stretched out his hand to twist one, put it in his mouth, raised his head and took it, closed his eyes for a moment , opened his eyes and smiled and said: "The elixir refined by Daozong is really a treasure for strengthening the body."

Xuanzhen Daozong said respectfully: "Zhenyuan Pill can help His Highness practice the Nanhua Sutra, and after some time, His Highness's Nanhua Sutra will definitely achieve great success."

The crown prince sighed and said, "Daozong, these years, it has been really difficult for you."

"His Royal Highness's life-saving grace to Pindao will never be forgotten by Pindao. To be able to do a little bit for His Highness is really a blessing for Poor Dao." With a few apprentices seeking refuge outside, they encountered bandits on the road. If His Highness hadn’t led the troops to pass by and rescued him, Pindao would have died that year. Pindao was able to enter the palace to serve the Holy Majesty. If His Highness had not arranged for him, he would not have There will be a day of impoverishment, let alone a day of longevity."
